Good Destiny

After visiting the father, now Qiya follow Hika to the mother's house Yasmin. At first he chose to stay overnight at the mother's house, but once Zainab's mother knew that they had to go to the besan's house, she asked him to come. Besides, Mr. Zainudin is sick.

"So Mr. Zain is sick?" ask Yasmin as soon as they arrive.

"Wind up, mother," Qiya replied.

"Oh .. May it heal soon."

"Thank you, mother," said Qiya for the prayer that had just been offered by Yasmin's mother.

"Where's the father, Bun?" asked Hika, again did not find the figure of the father.

"Dad hasn't arrived yet, still on his way home. You will stay here for tonight. How's it?"

Qiya glanced at Hika, the man nodded his head, code Qiya to just say yes.

"Yes, mother," replied Qiya to make mother Yasmin happy.

"Oh yeah, what's Bu Zain's condition now?" ask Yasmin then.

"Alhamdulillaah . good mother, mother."

"Thankfully, my mother was worried that Ms. Zain's health condition was disrupted after a kidney transplant for my mother."

"Hopefully the mother is always given health, as well as the mother," said Qiya in amended by mother Yasmin and also Hika.

"Mother hopes so, Qiya. But the anxiety is not separated from your mind. Mother hopes that your relationship will remain fine. Mother will feel very guilty, if this mother's child is not good with you," said mother Yasmin.

Qiya glanced towards Hika. Then he put on a smile. "Mother don't think like that, mas Hika is good as me. Thank you for marrying us, mother," Qiya said in spite of her gratitude.

"Yes, you expect the best from your relationship."

Hika turned her face, if discussing about her attitude, she returned to her guilt. But now he is trying to be a good husband to Qiya, although it is not easy to forget Zahira, the woman who has been living in his heart for two years.

"I helped cook, mother."

Mother Yasmin was a little surprised by Qiya's sudden arrival in the kitchen.

"Yes, I can."

Qiya began slicing some onion cloves, garlic, and chili that was about to be sliced by mother just now.

"Mother, I can ask you something."

Mother Yasmin looked over. "Can you ask what?"

Qiya seemed to think for a moment. "As long as Hika is related to Zahira's mother, did Hika ever bring Zahira's mother to this house?"

Mother Yasmin scrunched her forehead. Why did Qiya suddenly ask so. If he answered, he was afraid that Qiya would be offended. However, it was only about the past that Hika had left behind.

"Often, Zahira often plays here," replied Mother Yasmin.

Qiya took a breath, trying to control herself to look ordinary in front of the mother. Although it could not be denied, his heart felt jealous.

"According to mother, how is Zahira?"

"Zahira is nice, she's a polite woman, she has a nice personality."

Again Qiya had to hold something in her heart.

"Mother likes a daughter-in-law like Zahira's mom?" ask Qiya again.

Mother Yasmin stopped her activity, she looked at Qiya deeply.

"Why ask like that?"

"Don't ask that again, yeah .."

"But mother, mbak Zahira will be close to mother. Zahira's mother is a good woman, then why did you choose Qiya who is the mother's daughter-in-law?" Qiya squeezed the end of her instant veil cloth.

Mother Yasmin was heard sighing, then she grabbed Qiya's hand and in her grasp.

"Because you just want you to be the mother's daughter-in-law."

"Not in return, or just pity because you know I like the same mas Hika right?"

Mother Yasmin was silent. He could not answer Qiya's question. He cannot tell the truth. Because he already likes Qiya to be his daughter-in-law.

Mother Yasmin reviewed the smile. "No, honey. Mother chose you, because mother believes that you are the best for your child, namely Hika."

"Thank you, mother."

Mother Yasmin carried Qiya into her arms, rubbing her daughter-in-law's back gently.

From a distance, Hika reviewed the smile as soon as she saw the familiarity between Qiya and her mother.

***

In the following days, Qiya and Hika's relationship improved. Both always take the time to chat together, to get to know the couple deeper and further.

Hika was surprised, when she heard Qiya's expression, that the woman liked him since three years ago. When Hika became his senior at the college.

Many of the stories Qiya told Hika, the man she had admired for three years, was now her husband. Gratitude ceaselessly he proposes to the Almighty, the One who throws the hearts of men.

"What did you continue to react to when your parents asked you to marry me, the man you've always admired?" ask if you are curious.

"Mixed, mas. I was happy, happy, but did not forget to be self-aware," Qiya replied.

"Moreover I know, you already have a lover. I felt selfish at the time, but I couldn't refuse mother's request, let alone Yasmin's mother" Qiya added.

"Then what are you Recating, ma'am?" Qiya asked back.

"Anged, disappointed with your sudden decision. But I can't reveal it all, I can't refuse mother's request, even if I have to marry a woman I don't know."

Hika's words seemed heartbreaking, but it's okay, it's Hika's feelings before. Maybe her husband's feelings have changed.

"You must have been surprised the first time I was so rude to you?"

Qiya nodded. "I didn't even think you were that rude, ma'am."

"It was an outpouring of my stifled emotions. Sorry if my attitude hurt you, I hope you understand my position at that time."

Qiya nodded again. "Yes, mas. Not just you, maybe other men will behave the same as you, even more. When they're in your position."

"Thank you for understanding. Don't worry, I'm trying to be a good husband to you. I slowly eroded the flavor for Zahira, and grew the flavor for you. Help me to cultivate this taste."

Qiya reviewed the smile, hearing Hika's statement just made her heart pound uncharacteristically. Her do'a do'a has been answered all along.

"That's for sure, ma'am."

The two stared at each other with a smile etched on each other's lips.

"Thank you, ma'am, you gave me a gap to get into your heart" Qiya said later.

"That's all thanks to your own efforts" Hika replied.

Qiya unceasingly praised the name of the God who gave him a good destiny in his life.
