My Love Springed Out of Compulsion

Picnicking

Since marrying Zio, Sahira is not allowed to work anymore. So he had to resign from the company where he worked about six months ago.

Although Sahira had resigned from his office, Airin and Afika still diligently visited him.

On Friday after returning home from work, Airin and Afika came to Sahira's house to visit him.

"How are you, Ra, pregnant yet?" airin asked while hugging Sahira.

"Not Rin, prayer is that I'm pregnant quickly" Sahira said with a smile.

"Ra...., have you heard from Mas Arfi?" ask Afika.

"No, why Arfi?" sahira was curious.

"It turns out he left you because he impregnated his ex-girlfriend. Last week he just held a seven-monthly event" said Afika.

"Oh yes.., I just heard this," said Sahira.

"Never think of him again, Ra, let alone hope for him. Let's just say he was never in your heart. Never look back, but look ahead. Experience is the best teacher" Airin explained.

"Good teacher" Sahira replied with a smile.

"I'm serious, Ra" said Airin.

"Thank you Rin. Hopefully until now and beyond I never think of Arfi mas again. My heart hurts too much to remember. I'm sure all of this has a silver lining. If only I had gotten married by then, while her ex-boyfriend was already pregnant, it would have been even greater. I'm so happy with Rin now. I am very grateful to lose Arfi mas but have been able to replace the more affection and attention that is mas Zio," said Sahira with teary eyes.

"I'm sure you must be strong against all this Ra" said Afika.

"Aamiin.." said Airin and Sahira together.

Sahira is very grateful to have a friend who is very caring and loving to her.

When Zio came home from work, he saw Sahira was busy watching TV.

"Watch the movie, it looks serious. Until the husband comes home not knowing," asked Zio while embracing and kissing Sahira's cheek.

"It's usually a Korean drama show" Sahira replied with a smile.

"What's the story?" ask Zio again.

"This is why I always watch. But even more exciting if you take a quick shower," Sahira said with a laugh.

"You are, yes" said Mas Zio, pulling Sahira's nose.

Then Zio goes to the bathroom, while Sahira prepares a change of clothes for her husband.

After the shower, Zio and Sahira return to the living room to watch TV.

"Ra. How about we go on our honeymoon replacement picnic. Since we were married we have never had a honeymoon" Zio said.

"All you have to do" said Sahira.

After Sahira and Zio agree on a picnic spot to go to, Zio immediately bocked the hotel. Sahira wants the location of the hotel right on the beach.

***

On Friday after Friday prayers, Sahira and Zio went on a picnic together.

"Let us carry Ra's bag" said Mas Zio when he saw Sahira carrying a bag containing food to the hotel room.

"It's okay, this thing isn't heavy. Mas himself has brought our suitcases," said Sahira while still carrying the bag.

The two immediately entered the hotel room located on the beach.

Then Sahira opened the balcony door. He stood up while looking out at the high seas. While Zio rests in the room while watching TV.

"Ra....., where are you?" ask Zio.

Soon mas Zio walked to the terrace to meet Sahira who was sitting pensively looking out to the open sea.

"Why do you fantasize, baby....?" zio said as he hugged Sahira from behind.

Sahira did not answer, only her eyes glazed over her friendship with Arfi. Mas Arfi once invited Sahira to take a walk on this beach. The memories Sahira never forgot. Holding hands they walked on this beach.

"Why are you quiet" said Mas Zio as he tightened his embrace.

"I was just amazed mas, it turns out that the sea created by God has extraordinary beauty," Sahira replied lying. Though Sahira is reminiscing about his friendship with mas Arfi.

Why am I still thinking about him. But he has hurt me. I must be able to replace the position of the Arfi mas with the Zio mas, the inner Sahira in heart.

"Yok we walk on the beach," said mas Zio while holding the fingers Sahira.

Then they walked along the beach hand in hand. It is not uncommon for Zio to hug Sahira's shoulders.

"You don't feel chill?" ask Zio to worry.

"No mas" replied Sahira.

"If it feels cold let me take the snag," said mas Zio.

Suddenly Sahira felt her stomach was nauseous and was about to vomit. Zio who noticed Sahira's situation, immediately invited Sahira into the room. Upon reaching the hotel room, Sahira vomited. Finished vomiting, Zio led Sahira to the bed.

"You just lie down, let's get some warm water" said Mas Zio worriedly.

Then Mas Zio took warm water for Sahira.

"You why Ra?" ask Zio.

"Not knowing me. Suddenly my head feels dizzy" Sahira said as she lay on the bed.

Mas Zio was busy rubbing Sahira's head with eucalyptus oil.

Sahira was astonished by herself. There were no signs of pain, why suddenly I felt nauseous yes, inner Sahira in heart.

Suddenly Zio's phone rang there was an incoming call from Sisu's mother Zio.

"So you guys had a picnic on Zi?" ask Sisu's mom to Zio's son.

"So ma. It was after Friday prayers that we left" Zio replied.

"Be careful there. What else is Zi?" ask Sisu again.

"It's rubbed again. Just now Sahira's nausea and vomiting ma. But already Zio was skewered with eucalyptus oil, now still in bed," replied Zio.

"Zio...., lest your wife get pregnant," said Sisu's mother guessing.

Zio immediately approached Sahira who was lying on the bed.

"Darling....., can't you get pregnant?" ask Zio curious.

"What?" sahira was surprised.

Then Sahira remembered the last date of the month. I should have come by the moon, but to this day the moon has not come. Then Zio's guess has a point. But I shouldn't be too sure before the test first, Sahira's inner heart.

"Maybe a common cold. We took a walk on the beach with strong winds. It could be because the strong wind made me catch a cold" replied Sahira.

I don't want to let Zio be disappointed. That's why I didn't tell you I was late for the moon. Tomorrow if it has been tested and the results are positive, then I can tell, inner Sahira.

"Later to buy a test pack so that tomorrow morning when you wake up tested," said mas Zio happily.

Sahira just smiled and nodded in agreement.
