Mahabbah Love Khalisa

Line two marks on the test pack made his entire body tremble. His pair of round eyes in disbelief saw the test pack in his hand. No, this must be wrong. She's not ready to get pregnant. At least not now or in the next few months.

"Where's the outcome?" Kafa bows his head from behind the bathroom door. He was impatiently waiting for the results of the test pack that Mahira used this afternoon.

"This is because you know?" Mahira pursed her mouth, she sat on the closet with a riled face.

"Kok 'cause of me anyway?" Kafa's eyebrows shot up, didn't they work together to produce all this. Why only Kafa is to blame.

"You are the one who got pregnant with me!" Though from the beginning of marriage they have agreed to postpone having a momongan until graduating from college. Mahira also felt it was not appropriate to be a mother who has a big responsibility.

"So the result is positive?!" Kafa's eyes widened, between joy and disbelief.

"Know ah see for yourself!" Mahira stomps her feet past Kafa out of the bathroom.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean it." Kafa Lirih.

"Not intentionally?" Mahira turned. What does that phrase mean?

"Mmm .. I mean—" ah Kafa mispronounced, meaning he had no intention of making Mahira pregnant because they had agreed to postpone it.

"Aren't you intentional?" Mahira repeated Kafa's sentence again, it really hurt him if Kafa said unintentionally.

"Not that, every day I deliberately make love to you but we've agreed to nunda." Kafa waver, he did not want to make the wife misunderstand.

Kafa lowered his body picking up a test pack not far from where he was standing just now. Kafa's eyes are rounded to see the mark of two lines on the test pack. He laughed and even jumped up and down when he came out following Mahira. Ready or not, this is the sustenance that God has given them.

"Honey, this is God's sustenance, we can't believe it." Kafa approached Mahira who was leaning against the balcony railing.

"Where if I can't be Mom, just take care of myself I'm not a bitch." Mahira's view dimmed.

"Can, we can." Kafa pulls Mahira into his arms. "All married couples also must feel not ready when they first become parents but the proof they can, it means we can also, do not be sad."

"I'm sorry I can't be a good wife to you yet." Mahira feels she still has many shortcomings to be a good wife. Sometimes he defies when Kafa counsels him. Mahira still has to learn to be a wife who is always obedient to the husband as long as it is for good.

"Sshhhh, why are you sorry, I have chosen you that means you are the best for me." Kafa took off a hug wiping tears on Mahira's cheeks. "There's a child here." Kafa rubbed Mahira's stomach, which meant that he would soon become a father.

At first Mahira said that she was late for a week, before her menstrual period was never late even if only one day. Finally, Mahira fad to buy a test pack and immediately wear it this afternoon. Mahira did not think that the result was positive. But the words of Kafa are true, this is the sustenance of Allah, they should not feel upset and disappointed, instead they should be grateful and welcome the coming of the baby with joy.

"Continue now what are we going to do?" Ask Kafa, what couples usually do when they first find out their wives are pregnant.

"What do you usually do?" Mahira also had no idea what they should do.

"Call Cece." Kafa enters the room followed by Mahira.

"Mbak Khalisa is not busy at this hour, we are afraid to disturb him." Mahira sat beside Kafa.

Eventually Kafa abandoned his intention to call Khalisa. Kafa better go to Khalisa's house so that he and Mahira can talk directly.

"Mahira, I didn't think we could get pregnant." Kafa's teary eyes looked at Mahira.

"We?"

"Yes, that's my hard work, too." Kafa said proudly, it feels like he wants to shout at the world to tell her that his wife is pregnant.

Mahira held back a laugh, Kafa's sentence sounded very innocent. Mahira ruffles Kafa's hair with anxiety to make it fall apart. According to Mahira, Kafa is more handsome when his hair is messy.

"Good darling." Kafa hugged Mahira again, not feeling his tears melt imagining their baby in Mahira's stomach. Kafa will take better care of Mahira, he can't wait for the birth of the baby. Kafa is impatiently called papa by their son.

Khalisa blinked his eyes many times and saw the test pack in his hand. But the result remains the same. Khalisa rubbed his eyes again and again, who knows he saw wrong but did not. The test pack line has not changed. Why are there two lines? Khalisa did not feel pregnant, did the two lines show negative? Khalisa is dead-end.

Khalisa wash the test pack, it is possible that the traces of his urine during Azka pregnancy are still left so that the result is positive even though it is not possible because he has a lot of test packs in the drawer. Khalisa just can't believe she's pregnant again.

Of course Khalisa was happy but Azka was still too small to have a sister, she was even still breastfeeding Azka now. Khalisa wants to give ASI until Azka is 2 years old. Khalisa feels like she failed to be a mother to their first child.

"Umma." Azfan's voice sounded from outside followed by a knock on the door. "Umma's okay, right?"

Khalisa wiped his tears and immediately came out of the bathroom. He saw Azka was already asleep in his box, it means he was long enough in the bathroom.

"How did it go?" Azfan asked impatiently, seeing Khalisa's expression made him unable to guess the results that came out on the test pack.

Khalisa raised his face, "Azka will have a sister."

"Alhamdulillah." Azfan is closing Khalisa closely.

Khalisa returned Azfan's embrace, that should be what he said when he first saw the results of the test pack.

"We will try our best to take care of two children at once, why does Umma not look happy?"

"Of course I'm happy but I feel sorry for Azka, I don't want our time to not be able to fully make Azka again because there is a sister."

"God has chosen us dear, that's a sign we are capable." Azfan breaks down the embrace, "Umma inget not first Umma almost every month crying during menstruation then we hope next month Umma can get pregnant, she said, so it continues until God finally grants our prayers so now we must be grateful."

Khalisa reviewed his smile and nodded faintly, he was grateful for having a husband like Azfan. When Khalisa is angry or upset, Azfan is always the water that cools him down. When Khalisa is sick, Azfan will take care of him. Then why should Khalisa worry while he has a husband Azfan.

"Sir, below is Mas Kafa and Mbak Mahira." Nadira's voice rang out the door.

Azfan and Khalisa immediately left the room towards the first floor. They saw Kafa and Mahira were already waiting in the living room.

"Ci!" Kafa was so excited to see Khalisa and Azfan, he immediately wanted to tell them the good news. Even Kafa and Mahira haven't told their parents because they both want to be sure again tomorrow by retesting. After that, they will tell their parents.

"What's the matter with your face?" Khalisa sat in front of Kafa while Azfan sat next to him.

"Me or you know?" Kafa looked at Mahira.

"You are." Mahira could not get out any sentences, he was nervous even though Khalisa and Azfan were not lecturers who could make him nervous. Mahira is usually not like this, now his tongue is suddenly confused.

"Try Cece and I guess what we want to tell you?" Kafa sees Khalisa and Azfan alternating.

Khalisa and Azfan glanced at each other, strange behavior Kafa. Usually Kafa does not like pleasantries like this. They were confused because Kafa's expression was so happy that Mahira had a flat face and looked down more.

"What's wrong? you can ride a bike, but you broke Mahira's bike?" Khalisa tried to guess from the expressions of Kafa and Mahira. It looks like Kafa managed to ride the bike but at the same time he also made Mahira's bike damaged. Last learned bike with Azfan, Kafa crashed into a tree and made the front of Azfan's bike rung. Fortunately, it can still be repaired.

Kafa's smile instantly evaporated, why would Khalisa also have to guess that far. While Mahira turned to see Kafa did not believe.

"So you don't want to ride a bike because you can't drive it?" Mahira held back a laugh, hitting Kafa's thigh because today almost anyone can drive a bike. Kafa also never frankly told Mahira about this. "Pantesan Mbak, he never wanted me to take out on a bicycle, the reason is out of the heat and can be dust eh apparently can not drive."

Kafa pouted, all this time he tried to hide it from Mahira. But Khalisa easily guessed that. Kafa plans to study bicycles at a professional course but he never has time to forget.

"I can, just ask Mas Azfan, right Mas?" Kafa raised his chin, hoping Azfan could work with him.

"You can do it but I think you need to practice again so as not to crash." Answer Azfan honestly.

"Quiet, I'll teach you." Mahira clasped Kafa's hand, and he really wanted to teach Kafa.

"No need to." Kafa's prestige if Mahira's teaching him.

"So isn't that happy news?" Khalisa felt guilty for accidentally telling Kafa's weakness to Mahira. Khalisa thought Kafa had admitted it but his perfectionist sister would have been reluctant to tell his wife.

Nadira lays down drinks for Kafa and Mahira. Nadira had also put his homemade cake into the box for Kafa to bring later because he did not want to make Khalisa vomit again.

"Mahira's pregnant, Ce."

"Oh yeah? Thank goodness." Khalisa immediately congratulated and hugged Mahira. He knew they were delaying having children but God always wrote a much more beautiful story. "You'll be parents soon."

"Alhamdulillah Ce, I will soon be Papa." Kafa smiled widely as if forgetting about the incident just now.

"We come here all want to do ma'am, usually what's the first thing we have to do after this?"

"You should check with your doctor for an ultrasound so the doctor will confirm whether there really is a fetus in it."

"Cece is coming." Pinta Kafa's

"Hm?" Khalisa see Azfan.

"Always check Umma too." Azfan agreed.

"Ce Khalisa why?" Kafa frowned.

"Actually Cece is also pregnant but Cece isn't too sure."

"What's? I'm telling you Cece's pregnant again, well, we're going to have a child!" Kafa embraces Azfan with a smile blooming on his face.

"Mas will have another child." Reply Azfan no less excited. Two men are very excited after learning that the wife is pregnant.
