THE BEST BROTHERS

Chapter 102

Almira was still busy arranging the messy bookshelves, just now the children from kindergarten were playing and studying in the Almira reading garden. Almira is so happy to be able to play with cute and adorable children, even though her work has increased because they take all the books on the bookshelf.

"This is how it feels to play with children, it feels like you want to be born soon, son." Almira stroked her stomach slowly.

Almira felt very thirsty, she took the water beside her. Almira had not finished drinking it, there were two children who came to the Almira reading park, two girls met Almira.

"Assalamualaikum brother.." said them cheerfully.

"Wa'alaikumsalam is beautiful, you guys are home from school?"ask Almira.

"Already, brother. Can we read a book here, brother?ask one of the kids.

"Come, come with brother, what book would you like to read? Folklore, fairy tales, or what?"ask Almira.

"I want to read a fairy tale book, brother."

"I want to read a folklore book."

They asked Almira to get the book they wanted.

"Okay, brother, take a minute. You guys sit down in there first." Almira told the two children who were still wearing elementary school uniforms to sit down.

Almira picked up some fairy tale books and folktales for them.

"This is the book, happy reading, oh.iya, we have not been acquaintances, let's first acquaintance, the name of the brother, Almira. What's your name?"ask Almira.

"My name is Alina, brother. I'm in 2nd grade Elementary School, said mamah before mamah picked up Alin, Alin was told to go to the reading park first, yesterday Alina was here with mamah, but brother is not here."alina said in her funny voice.

"Well, the name is so pretty, yes yesterday big brother is not here, baby. If this one's pretty, what's her name, son."Almira asked Alina's friend.

"My name is Naila, brother. I'm in the same class as Alin, and we're cousins" Naila said. Almira heard the name Naila, she immediately fell silent considering her best friend.

"How's Naila doing, I haven't heard from her in a long time since I got married. Is he still angry with me? I really didn't expect him to love my husband." - Almira muttered in her heart.

"Sister, is Mira silent?"ask Naila.

"Yes, Mira is quiet?"alina.

"Emm. I don't remember my best friend, her name is the same as yours, Naila. Yeah, sister's best friend, Naila. It's just as beautiful as you are." said Mira.

"Oh.yeah? how come it's not here, Naila's sister?"ask Naila

"Sister Naila's busy babe at home. Yes, you continue reading it, later if mamah Alina has come, brother tell you. Okay."take Mira.

"Okay, brother." said they together.

Almira returned to her seat, she tried to contact Naila, because for almost 3 months she had no news of Naila. He looks for Naila's contacts, and tries to contact her. But, Naila's number is off, many times she calls her, Naila's number is not active.

"Nai, why are you like that, because a man you can forget our friendship that we built a long time ago. Nai, I miss you, I want us to be like before. I'm sorry, Naila, I didn't mean to take Arsyad, I didn't know he was the man you loved."Almira muttered in her heart. He was still thinking about Naila, his best friend.

In the afternoon, Arsyad had returned from his office, he went into his room, seen Almira sitting in a chair and holding a small photo album. He opened the photo album one by one and looked at the photos carefully. Almira's tears immediately fell on her cheeks when she saw the picture of herself with her best friend.

"Nai, how are you? I miss you."lirih Almira with the typical voice of people crying.

Almira did not know that her husband had returned from the office and was already in her room. He still looks at the photo album. Arsyad approached him and crouched down in front of his wife.

"You crying?"asked Arsyad who made Almira surprised by his arrival.

"Mas, are you home? Have you been in your room since?"ask Almira

"I'm only 5 minutes in the room, why are you crying, baby? Do you miss Naila?" ask Arsyad again.

"I miss him so much, Mom. It's been almost 3 months, I don't know. I called him many times, then called his house, but there was no answer at all. It's not usually Naila that's so hard to call." Mira explained with tears running down her cheeks.

"Have, don't cry, pity the shit that's in your stomach, you've eaten?"asked Arsyad while rubbing the stomach of Almira who felt it had begun to bulge.

"I haven't eaten since noon, mas. Not knowing why I had no appetite at all, I thought too much about Naila from earlier. I'm afraid there's nothing with him, it's not like he's usually like this, mas." explains Almira.

"But don't forget your lunch, baby. You're not alone, there's our son in your stomach. Come on, let's eat, auntie seems to have prepared some food."Arshad invited his wife to eat.

"Bring first, I'll get you some clothes and we'll eat together. You've been praying ashar, right?"Almira stood up and took off her husband's coat, hung it with a hanger and put it on.

"Perhaps you forgot, dear."Almira approached her husband and hugged him tightly, wearing only a thin t-shirt.

"No dear, the time I forgot my duty. If I forget, it's the same as if I forgot my obligation to you, baby."Arsyad stroked the hair of Almira whose head was still on her chest.

"My husband is the best, it's not wrong if all women want you to be his life partner. And even my own best friend was like that, until he forgot me as his best friend."Almira smiled faintly and hugged her husband again.

"Don't overdo it like that, they're the ones who are overreacting, baby. You know how I do it."Arsyad still stroked his wife's straight, unglued hair.

"Yes, you're a very difficult man in the ruins of his heart. I know, if you already love something, you're hard to see. Yes, it wasn't me you loved, but.." Almira's words stopped, Arsyad touched Almira's lips with his index finger.

"Don't go on, baby. You know, with you I know what love is, without expressing love. No, don't reveal that time, I just want you to be by my side forever. This heart is already filled with you, nothing else, Almira."Arsyad kissed his wife's forehead.

"Don't ever leave me, baby. Unless God separates us." - Arshad, he hugged his wife tightly

"No, mas. Take a shower, I'll get you some clothes."Almira still hugged her husband tightly and smelled the scent of her husband's body.

"How can I take a shower, if you hold me tight like this, baby." Arsyad said. Almira let go of her embrace and tiptoed to kiss her husband's lips.

"Yes already, take a shower. Don't wait a long time, I'm hungry."Almira smiled in front of her husband so sweetly, which made Arsyad very anxious.

Arsyad went into the bathroom, he put his towel on the towel rack in his bathroom. She cleans out the thin hair that has started to grow over her upper lip. He didn't like having whiskers, but he let his beard grow and groomed but not too long. He recalled his wife who missed Naila so much.

"She really missed Naila until she forgot lunch. Should I take him to Naila's house, let them meet." - Arsyad muttered in his heart. After bathing Arsyad put on the clothes that his wife had prepared, then invited Almira to eat.

In the dining room, they were enjoying some of the food menu that had been prepared by the aunt. Almira ate so voraciously, understandably from noon the stomach of Almira was not filled, after they finished eating, Almira peeled the apple and cut it for her husband and herself.

"Honey, you called Naila so hard, do you want me to take her home tomorrow? You want to see him?"ask Arsyad.

"I'd love to go to Naila's house, ma'am. Will you take me there?" Almira from earlier actually wanted to ask like that, but was afraid that her husband would refuse her request.

"How about tomorrow I take you to his house, and I go to the office?"ask Arsyad.

"All right, tomorrow I'll be there." said Almira.

Almira was silent for a moment, she imagined that this afternoon in her reading garden she was playing with very cute and adorable children. It was in Almira's mind to have many children.

"Mas, if you have a lot of happy children yes, the house is always crowded, especially if the child is funny." said Almira by imagining that he has many children.

"Why do you suddenly want to have so many children?"ask Arsyad.

"So in the study park, a lot of students and kindergarten students came, funny, mas, and very adorable, I played long enough with them." explained Almira.

"Well, after you give birth, we'll do it again."Arsyad seduces his wife with a flirtatious smile for his wife.

"Hmmm..began flirting with me. Don't be like that." said Mira.

"Why, would you like to be seduced besides your husband? Good thing I'm the one flirting, your own husband." said Arsyad.

"Have finished the apple, already want Maghrib, later tonight just tease me again."tutur Almira.

Arsyad and Almira leave the dining room, they sit in the living room to enjoy the green tea that Mira makes while waiting for Maghrib time to arrive.
