Qalqalah Wedding

Re-meeting

Seconds change minutes, minutes change hours, days change, Sundays, and months change. Not felt, after pregnancy Qiya has entered the third trimester and is already nine months old. Waiting for the presence of the baby is no longer patient. Whatever the gender, it doesn't matter. Most importantly, Qiya and her baby were born safely.

After buying baby supplies, Hika invites Qiya to lunch at a nearby restaurant. The distance is not only about three kilos of meter. Now they've got there.

"Be careful" said Hika while helping his wife get out of the car.

"Yes, mas. I can, really," Qiya replied.

Hika closed the car door again, they stepped in to enter the restaurant. As soon as they reached the door, they crossed paths with Zahira.

Hika was a little surprised, because after that day he just met Zahira again.

"Za .." said Hika lirih.

Hika was glued to Zahira's face. That woman was completely different from the Zahira she knew back then, more than ever. Hika did not expect to meet again with the woman who had filled her heart for two years. But no matter what Zahira is now, her feelings are different. His heart already belonged to Qiya.

Qiya could feel how her husband was feeling now when he was reunited with Zahira. She hoped her husband would not expect Zahira again.

Zahira replied with a smile. His attention was fixed on Qiya's huge protruding stomach.

"Sorry, are you pregnant?" ask Zahira then.

Qiya nodded. "Yes" he answered.

"Oh. Congratulations, yes."

"Thank you" said Qiya while Hika was silent.

"How are you, Za?" hika asked, actually she wanted to hold back that question.

"Much better than what you think," Zahira replied instantly making Hika remember her guilt.

"Thank God then."

"Yes. It seems that you are also so happy, moreover your happiness will feel more complete with the presence of a child."

Qiya and Hika only responded with a smile. Until finally, a man came out and stood beside Zahira.

"Za, how are you still here?" the man's question distracted Hika and also Qiya.

"Yes, mas. I accidentally met an old friend of mine."

The man looked towards Hika and Qiya. Then Zahira introduced them.

"Ka, Qi, know this Mas Gara, my fiancee."

"Hi .." hello Gara.

"Hi," Hika and Qiya replied almost simultaneously.

"Oh yeah, then I'm the same because excuse me first, yes. Aramou'aikum .."

"We go first" said Gara.

"Mosuram .."

Zahira leaves from the presence of Hika and Qiya along with Gara. Hika looked at the back of their departure for a while. Maybe this is the destiny of life, how long we have been in a relationship if it is not the destiny of our path, then God will give another destiny even better. And Hika's good destiny is Qiya, his wife.

Hika looked towards his wife. He did not want to make Qiya think that all sorts of things about his return meeting with Zahira. He immediately grabbed his wife by the arm and took her into the restaurant.

"Come, baby. You must be hungry, right?"

Qiya smiled. "Yes, my mom."

***

Tonight Hika and Qiya were getting ready to sleep. Qiya thought, after meeting her husband earlier with the ex-lover will shake Hika's heart. But it turns out the estimate was wrong. Hika was completely unaffected by the meeting earlier. And did not diminish the man's attention to her.

As of now, Qiya was sleeping with her arm if as her cushion. Her husband continued to caress her head by occasionally landing a kiss on the forehead.

"I love you, Mom. I don't want to lose you," Qiya said suddenly.

Hika looked at his wife's face, it seemed that Qiya was thinking about the return meeting with Zahira. Therefore Qiya revealed this.

"I love you more, Qi. Don't worry, I'm not going anywhere. I'm gonna be there for you, I'm trying to be the best husband for you."

"Thank you, mas. Thank you for choosing me" said Qiya and got a nod from Hika.

"Yes .. You are sleeping, yes. Don't think of anything. You can't be stressed, soon you're going to give birth."

Qiya nodded. "Yes, mas. You're sleeping too, yeah.."

"Yes. Good night, sweet dreams, baby."

"Good sleep too. My husband's dream."

Qiya landed a brief kiss on her husband's cheek, and got a warm kiss back from Hika. After that, they closed their eyes after reading the do'a in their hearts.
