Melati At The End of Hope

Birthday Gift for Jamal

Episode 25's

Ting tong ting tong ting tong!

The sound of an alarm woke Chia from her sleep, at exactly 12:00 p.m., when the day change would begin immediately according to calendar calculations.

Chia turned to Jamal who did not budge even though the noise from the alarm was lit. Chia slowly shifted to the edge of the bed and sat at the end waiting for the life that had not been fully collected.

"Hoam..." Chia yawned and closed her mouth.

After her consciousness began to fill Chia headed towards the closet and took something there.

"Maybe this small gift is time to be given to the person who deserves it" Chia muttered as she opened a small box containing a watch and a prayer beads.

The object that he had wanted to give to Dio before the dark event occurred, when Chia caught Dio and Nesa making friendly outings in Dio's workroom.

Chia was a little remembered as she held the gift in her hand, but she immediately brushed aside her thoughts and shifted her focus to Jamal who had now become her rightful husband.

Apparently Jamal's birthday is on this day, and Chia decides to give Jamal his watch and tasbih as his birthday present.

Not intended to give used goods, but in addition to being new and Chia kept it well and neatly, the gift was once Chia prepared with all love and hope even though it was not delivered.

"So wake up" Chia gently shook Jamal's body.

Jamal squirmed and opened his eyes slowly.

"Why baby? what time is it?" Ask Jamal while he's sleepy.

"Happy birthday.cup" Chia landed a kiss on Jamal's right cheek.

"Blessed, big sister guessed what" Jamal hugged Chia's body tightly and gently stroked Chia's hair.

"I have something for my sister" Chia gave her gift to Jamal.

"What is this?" Jamal gave his best expression to Chia when he received the gift, all that Jamal did was to watch over his wife.

"Open up" said Chia smilingly at Jamal who was very enthusiastic.

"Maa Allah, what a great gift.This is the first time in the life of my brother, get a gift from the most special person" said Jamal honestly, as he said, because in the Jamal family there is never a habit of celebrating birthdays or giving gifts.

Understandably his father who is an ustadz is indeed more happy to invite Jamal to share, whether orphaned or twofa, as a form of gratitude when his birthday arrives.

Actually the same with Chia, this gift was accidentally prepared to reward Jamal, just waiting for the right time to give it, it feels now okay, so thought Chia.

"Don't you like it?" Tanya Chia leaned her body against the chest of Jamal's field.

"Sure the deck, whatever your sister's wife loves you, really likes it." Said Jamal kissing Chia's wrath.

"Ah sister always does, but you can know if for example brother does not like or have other answers" said Chia protested.

"Can't dong darling, right we have to appreciate whatever the gift of people, so that his heart is happy and his feelings are safe, not offended. let alone who gives you a beautiful angel like you" replied Jamal while rounding his wife.

"Yes sir ustadz" said Chia teasingly.

"Because you have awakened brother, now we worship yuk deck" said Jamal.

"Well! again brother?" Chia said in a surprised tone.

"Yes dong dek, if you can pray tahajjud every night, as long as we are able to do it." said Jamal.

"Oh kirain.hehe" Chia grinned and scratched her non-itchy head.

"What do you think? you know his mind" ledek Jamal.

Jamal laughs amusedly at his wife's misbehavior.

"Gemes really sister's wife if again embarrassed" continued Jamal continues to tease Chia.

"Ah sis Jamal, don't do it" Chia covered her face with both hands which made Jamal laugh more.

"Dear, ordinary dong" he said as he hugged Chia again.

They are also preparing to do tahajjud and berbunagat to Allah SWT.

Chia :

"I never thought that he would be a priest in my household, I used to think my way of life would be as simple as falling in love and marrying the same person, sowing and cultivating the seeds of love in order to grow well in the land that is already available."

"But apparently not, I was actually broken by the love that I cared for myself and scattered by the fertilizer of affection that was present from a different place, had hesitated to accept, he said, although now I have finally become completely accustomed to his presence."

"The break I thought would never grow back, had lost its identity and felt all meaningless, grateful there is a love of father and mother that never timid. not even the slightest bit of change beekurang or disappear like other love."

"Sad and disappointed is the nature of man, one can not force the situation despite hard work.likes do not like to be passed either, whether bitter or sweet, whether salty or sour, sour, cold or hot even big small everything has a measure of each."

"Now, something that I once feared, became something that I am very grateful for, to be happy sometimes we need to be loved because loving alone more often makes a feeling of pain if the self is not able to accept the consequences."

"Learning to love someone who loves me is fairer than having to pursue the love of someone who continues to create hurt and disappointment." Chia's mind wandered.

Back at Jamal who looks solemn dhikr, with the beads that Chia presented to him.

"Ah what is this feeling Rabbi? I'm happy in my heart but my eyes can't hold back tears?" Chia made up her mind when she noticed Jamal wearing a prayer beads that she gave to me for dhikr.

There is a haru feeling that pushes the chest until it feels penetrating to the labyrinth of the heart.

What if this story was about happiness? but how else, that's how Chia feels right now!

Jamal stopped his dhikr, then he looked back and gave his hand to Chia, Chia jolted realizing she was crying. Immediately she wiped her tears and shook her hand.

Jamal embraces Chia and makes Chia sob.

"Hey baby, why cry?" ask Jamal gently.

Chia shook her head and was speechless.

Although not explained, it looks like Jamal felt a haru vibration from Chia, he unconsciously shed his tears.

Chia raised her face to look at the man who was also drifting in her day, deftly Chia rubbed the soft cheeks of Jamal who had been soaked by tears.

"If I hadn't been the wife of my sister, would you still have given me the same love I have now?" Chia asked amidst the crying atmosphere of her day.

"If it is so then there is no word 'if', brother never thought to marry another woman other than you." replied Jamal steady.

Oh no, this time Chia was crying even more! he put his frown on Jamal and held Jamal's head in both hands.

"Sir's grandfather loves you" said Jamal.

Chia had a kiss on Jamal's lips.

"Chia also loves big sister." Then Chia put both her hands around Jamal's neck.

Jamal lifted Chia's body and was about to take her to bed.

"Sister down" said Chia pleading with a laugh, but Jamal ignored Chia's words and instead teased Chia more by tickling Chia's waist which made Chia feel amused.

They were full of spoiled.
