Mahabbah Love Khalisa

147

Azfan makes steeping ginger and lemon that can warm the body Khalisa due to colds. Lastly Azfan adds a little honey to give it a sweet taste. Because being breastfeeding Khalisa should not take any medicine so that this ginger steeping can help him.

"Sir, please take care of Azka first yes, Umma is not feeling well anymore." Azfan said to Nadira who was in the backyard with Azka.

"Yes, this is my job." That means Azfan does not need to ask for help but Azfan and Khalisa never forget to say please and thank you after Nadira finished doing something.

Azfan climbed the stairs to the second floor. Azfan found Khalisa sitting on the edge of the bed on his back to the door. Azfan slowly approached and embraced Khalisa's shoulder.

"Drink this first." Azfan thrusting a glass of ginger steeping on Khalisa. He checked his wife's forehead, "a little warm."

"No, Abi's hand has been holding this glass so it feels warm." Khalisa sip a steeping ginger made by Azfan slowly, the spicy taste of ginger, lemon acid and the sweetness of honey combined in the glass, Azfan is good at making it. Khalisa wants to spend it at once.

"No need to take heat-lowering medication?"

Khalisa shook his head, he had checked his body temperature and it was in normal numbers.

"Why did you keep vomiting? because of that ice cream?"

"Yes, it's weird."

"But I finished two cups and it didn't taste strange at all, Kafa and Mahira also said the ice cream was good."

"My tongue was a strange time, now imagine the taste of ice cream that was just that I was nauseous again."

"Want me to pesenin Umma's favorite gelato?"

Khalisa could never refuse the Buttercotch Vanilla Gelato in Mangan Gelato, when in college he had to eat the gelato at least once a week.

"No, I'm drinking this." Khalisa sipped the ginger steeping until it ran out.

"Umma's smart." Azfan rubbed the top of Khalisa's head, "i change clothes first."

Khalisa put an empty glass on the nightstand and took his phone there. Khalisa lay down while playing a cell phone, he knew it was not good for his eye health but his head was dizzy and he could not ignore Naira's message either. Since Naira told him about it, they often exchanged messages and told him many things.

Azfan said Khalisa was lying on the bed after changing into a t-shirt and sarong. Two clothes that Azfan always wears when at home.

"Put the dong hp first baby so you can rest."

"Bi, just a little more." Khalisa's thumb is still dancing on his phone screen.

"Whose chat is the same?" Azfan noticed Khalisa's serious-looking facial expression

"Naira, she told me about her meeting with her husband, Abi want to know the story?"

Azfan nodded although he did not want to know but saw Khalisa so eager to tell it, he could not resist it.

Khalisa returned his phone to the nightstand, tilting his body towards Azfan.

Khalisa recounts the first meeting of Naira and Ajmal who is now her husband. They met at the hospital where Naira used to do regular check-ups. Ajmal was driving his sister. Naira sees Ajmal's sister shivering with a wet headscarf. Because it happened that Naira had a backup hijab, she finally gave the hijab to Ajmal's sister.

"It seems that Ajmal immediately fell in love with Naira, and a week later Ajmal's parents came to Naira's house to propose her then the next week they were married, very beautiful yes Bi." Khalisa ended his story with a pair of sparkling eyes, he was happy with the news that Naira shared with him.

"Because God wrote the story, it must be beautiful." Azfan tucked Khalisa's hair behind his ear.

"I also told you about Rindang at that time, I said that Naira and Rindang were both strong in the face of the trials that God gave."

"Umma seems very familiar with Naira." Khalisa can actually get along with anyone.

"Why Bi?" Khalisa frowned looking at Azfan's expression.

"Since that incident I don't really like Naira but Umma can still be good friends with her, I know we can't have a grudge because it's like clutching coals but I can't like Umma."

"I'm sorry, it's my fault."

"Don't talk about it anymore." Azfan wraps Khalisa's body. "Umma want to sleep?"

"Yes, my head is a little dizzy." Khalisa closed his body to Azfan and closed his eyes. Perhaps because he had not been on a plane for a long time, Khalisa became airsick.

After Khalisa fell asleep, Azfan got out of bed to his desk. Azfan began to busy with his laptop, he opened dozens of incoming emails that on average contain a large number of calligraphy orders and invitations to study. Azfan plans to open a wider calligraphy shop. Azfan also wanted to open a vacancy for those who have the talent to make calligraphy so that he could produce calligraphy and wall hangings with more numbers.

Azfan turned the chair he was sitting in after about half an hour struggling with his laptop, he saw Khalisa still sleeping in the same position.

"You must be exhausted." Azfan rubbed Khalisa's head and kissed his forehead. Khalisa's body temperature is normal but his face looks pale. Azfan kissed Khalisa's forehead once more before coming out of the room as he was about to begin tutoring.

"Azka wants to be with Abi?" Azfan sees Azka on top of Baby Walker while biting Teether. Azfan lifted Azka from Baby Walker because the little one looks bored to be there.

Because Azka was in Azfan's arms, Nadira immediately cleaned Azka's toys scattered and put them in a box. Soon the children who follow the guidance will come, Nadira must immediately clean up the room. Actually Nadira can invite Azka to play in the living room but Azka always invites to the living room so that Nadira has no choice but to obey the wishes of the little one.

"That's what I came for." Azfan opened the door hearing a knock out there. One by one the guidance disciples of Tahfidz Park arrived. They numbered 10 men. Every day there are 10 people who take turns following the prescribed guidance with their number of memorization. While the female students numbered 8 people who were guided by Khalisa and Ayin on another day.

Azfan began the guidance that afternoon by reading the prayer and then continued the prayer muroja'ah together. Azka the henchman on Azfan's lap listened to his recitation of the Qur'an Abi and the children who were in the room.

Khalisa is passionate about making food for Azka today. After using bananas and avocados, this time Khalisa tried to make food from corn, tofu and mashed eggs. The color looks beautiful after so, Khalisa can't wait to give it to Azka.

Azka shouted excitedly to see Khalisa coming to bring food, he was able to recognize the bowl used for the feeding container. Seeing that, Azka understood that it was time for her to eat.

"Can't wait to eat Azka, Umma." Azfan lifted Azka to sit on his lap while Khalisa fed the little guy.

"Come on, read the prayer first."

Azfan read the prayer before eating slowly so that Azka could also hear it.

Khalisa feed a little porridge let Azka taste the taste first because this was the first time Azka ate corn and eggs.

"No boy?" Azfan watched Azka's expression.

At first Azka frowned but after the second mouthful she began to look like the food.

"It looks like Azka prefers savory food rather than sweet, when it was bribed bananas immediately want to vomit."

"We should try other fruits like papaya or apple, who knows Azka likes."

When feeding Azka they must be ready with clothes that will be dirty because the little one sometimes takes a spoon in his Umma hand. Then the floor and Azfan's clothes will also get dirty.

"Pinter, eat it well." Khalisa rubbed the leftovers in Azka's mouth.

"Tell Umma I'm sure the food is good for Azka." Azfan changed the position of Azka facing him, he kissed Azka and thanked Azka for eating greedily. Once if Azka spouted her food, they would stress out trying to figure out the reason why it could happen. But doctors say it's normal for young children, there are certain foods that he doesn't like or at certain moments he doesn't want to eat. As parents, they must remain patient in dealing with the changing mood of the little one.

"Everything dear." Khalisa kissed Azka's chubby cheeks several times.

"When to take a shower." Azfan went to bathe Azka while Khalisa washed the bowl of Azka.

"I'm ready to wear Azka's clothes on top of Bi." Khalisa said before Azfan entered the bathroom near the kitchen. Khalisa had to prepare a change of Azka because if Azfan chose it then Azka's appearance would look strange. Sometimes Azfan wears a nightgown with jeans that are very inappropriate. Azfan often used strange combinations for Azka. Since then Khalisa did not entrust Azfan to the affairs of the clothes of the little one.

"What does Nadira make, how does it smell?" Khalisa saw Nadira pulling something out of the steam.

"I'm making sponge cake again, the time does not smell good?" Nadira swung her hand to direct the smoke of the cake to her face, she inhaled a very sweet vanilla aroma making her impatient to eat the cake. But Nadira will give the first cut to Khalisa and Azfan, he will eat the rest.

"Yes." Yeah." Khalisa closed his nose, his stomach was stirred up to smell the aroma of the cake that had just come out of the steamer.

"Is there any material that expires?" Nadira inhales once more but he only smells a sweet scent, maybe his nose is troubled. "But I'm sure it's all new."

"I'm not as strong as I smell." Khalisa ran out of the kitchen.

"Mbak Khalisa don't want to try the cake?" Nadira follows Khalisa.

"No." Khalisa half-screamed, he ran up the stairs to his room. Khalisa really could not smell the smell of vanilla on the cake, finally he vomited all his stomach contents when he arrived in the toilet room.

This reminded Khalisa of the incident two weeks ago at the airport. Khalisa also felt that vanilla ice cream which should be his favorite had a strange taste. Now Nadira's vanilla cake also smells bad. Khalisa felt something was strange about him.

"Don't Cece get pregnant again."

Khalisa shook his head strongly when Kafa's words suddenly flashed in his mind. No, it's impossible. Khalisa closed his eyes trying to remember if there was a day when he forgot to take his Pill.

"Umma."

Azfan's voice made Khalisa aghast. Khalisa cleaned his mouth and came out of the toilet, he saw Azfan was wearing clothes for Azka.

"Umma why, Madam Nadira said Umma ran away from the kitchen because he did not like the smell of cake."

"Abi Nyium smells bad too, right?" Khalisa asked expectantly, he hoped that it was not only him who smelled that bad smell.

"It just stinks of cake." Azfan's answer made Khalisa's smile disappear. "Why Um?" Azfan glanced at Khalisa.

"That's okay, that's okay." Khalisa took a comb to tidy up Azka's hair. "Well, when was the last time I had my period?"

"When we came to the graduation ceremony Rindang." Azfan remembered very well at that time Khalisa had to take painkillers for fear of not being able to attend the Rindang graduation event.

Khalisa mendelik, he should have come months since two weeks ago. Why Khalisa only realized that. No, this must be because Khalisa exhausted so that the schedule comes irregular months.

Azfan saw Khalisa, "Umma's pregnant?"

"Hm?" Khalisa blinked his eyes. "Where if I'm pregnant, Bi I'm two weeks late."

"Don't panic first, try Umma check, we've got a lot of test packs in the drawer."

Khalisa gulped with difficulty, he stepped open the nightstand drawer where he kept his test pack. Khalisa took one of the digital test packs he used. Khalisa went back into the bathroom with fear that enveloped him. Khalisa was afraid of many things, he was not ready because Azka was still very small to have a sister.

"Azka, Umma's pregnant like her." Azfan lifted Azka's body high and kissed her cheek. "You'll have a sister." Azfan smiled broadly seeing Azka laughing as he lifted the little guy's body.
