The Holy Love of Amayra

Chapter 91. Back to the old house

...🍀🍀🍀...

Bram panicked to hear Rey continue to cry, while he himself did not know how to brew formula milk. Intentions wanted to ask Nilam how, but he was embarrassed to ask. Finally he opened his phone, looking for a way on YouTube how to brew formula milk.

"Ooh.it's just this, easy!" Bram smiled with round lips and a slight nod of his head. He began to practice what he saw on YouTube. Practice brewing good and correct formula milk. First Bram poured a little warm water on the bottle, then he poured 2 spoons formula milk, then lastly he poured cold water into it.

The formula milk poured hurriedly, scattering onto the table. Soon Bram shakes it, then he makes sure the milk is hot or not. Bram gets a taste of it first, though he actually really doesn't like to drink milk. "It turns out this is what it's like to drink baby milk, this is why I don't like milk. Every time I drink milk, I'm always nauseous. bwee.." Bram stuck out his tongue.

"Darling, drink milk first. Keep bobo, tomorrow papa sis work.. papa son is good right?" Bram approached Rey who was still crying. He held Rey carefully. "Wee. uweee.."

Bram raises Rey's body a little, he positions Rey to be comfortable in her cradle. "It's a pity, drink it." said Bram while giving a pacifier bottle containing formula to Rey's tiny mouth.

Rey immediately took a quick gulp, Bram still holding her gently. The baby also looks comfortable with Bram. "Uhh.. Papa's son is thirsty? Drink it slowly, baby, don't choke" the almost 31-year-old has never been this happy in his life. Unknowingly she was shedding tears, she recalled what Arifin's ustad told her.

Should I forget you, Amayra?

#Flashback

Yesterday evening when Bram finished the Aqiqah event he drove Arifin ustadz home to another lecture venue. On the way, Bram invited ustadz Arifin to chat.

"Sir ustadz, sorry before I want permission to ask," said Bram while driving.

"Oh yes, please Mr. Bram." ustad Arifin smiled kindly, inviting Bram to ask.

"Actually my question is a lot. But I'll ask you one first" said Bram. "Sir ustadz how do I become a good person?"

Ustadz Arifin was flabbergasted at Bram's question, then he smiled. "Sorry, what kind of person is Bram in context? Worship or something else underlying it?" ustadz Arifin asked.

"I want to be a good person in terms of worship, deepening in religion and also breaking the heart of someone I love" Bram said with eyes that radiate sorrow and hope.

"I asked Mr. Bram first, what is the underlying reason you want to be a good person?" ask ustad Arifin to the man.

Bram sighed, "I want to look good in front of the person I want to melt his heart with" Bram replied honestly from the bottom of his heart.

"So the reason you want to be good is because Mr Bram wants to melt the woman's heart?" ask ustadz Arifin.

Bram smiled bitterly, then he replied, "Right,"

"I'm sorry sir, it seems that from my intentions you have been wrong. Being a good person for wanting to melt someone's heart, I don't think that's the right thing. People that you like, can only be a motivation instead of an excuse for you to be a good person," explained Ustad Arifin, who basically said that Bram's intention to be good because a woman is wrong.

"What do you mean? I don't understand what you mean?" Bram asked again at the endad, he could not digest well what Arifin's ustad explained to him.

"Sir Bram, change your intentions for the better because of God, not because of a man. If you change your intention to change for the better because of Allah, God willing, you will get an unexpected blessing. Do you know the story of Joseph as and Zulaikha?" ask ustad Arifin later.

"Sa-I only know that Zulaikha seduced the prophet Joseph," Bram seemed hesitant, knowing only the stories of the prophets when he was a child.

"Hem...do you know the end of the story of Joseph and Zulaikha how?" ask Bram again.

"They hate each other and part, right?" asked Bram hesitantly.

"It turns out you really don't know the story. Yusuf and Zulaikha, they were finally married" replied Ustadz Arifin.

"Are you serious?"

Bram could not believe what Arifin had told him. How could the prophet Joseph be with Zulaikha, the woman who once seduced him? He himself did not even know what his story was like and forgot to remember.

Ustad Arifin briefly tells the story of the prophets Joseph as and Zulaikha. From the beginning of the meeting, Zulaikha who seduced the prophet Joseph, even to drop slander because his love for the prophet Joseph was unrequited. The Prophet Joseph was imprisoned, but the destiny of God says otherwise. After the prophet Joseph was freed, fate turned with Zulaikha. The prophet Joseph became the successor of the king, while Zulaikha had lost all his possessions. It was then that Zulaikha began to get close to God and pray as sincerely as his heart, before long he was reunited with the prophet Joseph as. They are destined to be married and be married.

"Well, what do you think we can draw from this story?" ask ustad Arifin to Bram.

"Is it because Zulaikha is getting close to God?" ask Bram who does not understand what the story means well.

"The point is. if the father's intentions change, sincere because of Allah SWT. Insha Allah there will be a way to be together, at first Zulaikha is far from God and he does not get the love of the prophet Joseph. But when Zulaikha intended his heart to be close to Allah, worship Him, then God brought Joseph to him,"

"So I mean, if I pray sincerely and intend from my heart to change for the better because God knows, then God will bring my loved ones closer to me?" tanya Bram began to understand Arifin's words little by little.

"I'm sorry Mr. Bram, it's true. But it all depends on the soul mate and destiny of the almighty. The point is to aim for your change because God does not know because of a human being, if you are a match.. Allah will bring you closer, however you may," he told Bram.

Arifin's words made Bram think hard. His intentions changed because of Amayra, not because of Allah SWT. Then he will change his intention to be because of Allah SWT.

Mr. Ustadz gave Bram books about Islam, but it would be nice if Bram wanted to learn directly about Islam not only from books alone. Bram also made an appointment with ustad Arifin.

#End Flashback's

"Since the beginning of the intention of papa wrong son, from now on papa will change the intention of papa. Seeing you and your mama happy is enough for you. And this change, papa did because of Allah SWT." Bram wept, he remembered all his sins to Amayra and Rey. Especially when Rey was still in her mother's womb, Bram did not care about them at all. "I'm sorry, my son, you've been so sinful. Just think even telling your mama to abort you, is the same as papa killing you.Pardon papa ya Rey, pray papa for istiqomah in emigrating." bram said to a small baby who still does not understand many things. Bram wipes away his tears, he just hopes to see Amayra and Rey happy, he intends to start a new life.

That night Bram was in a wake-to-sleep cycle for looking after his son. Bram did his best, Rey wasn't as fussy as when Bram first held her. In the morning, Bram hands Rey over to Nilam because she has to go to work.

...🍁🍁🍁...

.

.

After 2 days of treatment in the hospital, Amayra finally returned home after her condition improved. He misses Rey a lot.

Satria escorted Amayra to Calabria's house, "Assalamualaikum" Amayra and Satria said.

"Waalaikumsalam" replied Nilam who was holding Rey.

"Okay, you're home? What did the doctor say? What are you sick with? Nular right?" ask Nilam sarcas.

"Mayra is okay ma, not a contagious disease. He is just a soy sauce," Satria replied with a sharp tone to Nilam.

My mom hasn't changed either.

"Sister, can't do it ah mama," said Amayra as she glanced at her husband.

Nilam handed Rey over to Amayra after believing that her son-in-law did not have a contagious disease. Amayra was holding her child, she was smiling and staring affectionately. Amayra, Rey and Satria are in their room. "Assalamualaikum baby, mama has come home yet? You're in good health, right?" amayra asked her son. "Not meeting you 49 hours, it feels like 49 years have not met" Amayra told Rey.

Baby Rey smiled with her pursed lips echoing, she looked at her mother with her two innocent eyes. "May, let me carry Rey. You eat first."

"Nothing brother. My brother kept telling me to eat, my brother hasn't eaten, has he?" Amayra asked back, she felt she had not seen Satria eat.

"I have breakfast" Satria replied, not wanting to be asked about eating.

"That's breakfast, not lunch. Do you want me to make you lunch?" amayra asked her husband.

"No need! I'm going to tell you to eat, why are you telling me to eat?" ask Satria astonished.

"I will eat if you eat too" replied Amayra with pursed lips.

Satria smiled as she shook her head. Actually, he was worried about how he could talk to Amayra about her departure to Africa. "Satria's Boy? How can you just shut up? Let's eat first" said Amayra to see her husband daydreaming.

"I want to eat, but eat you" Satria's hand gently caressed the wife's cheek.

Amayra looked at her husband anxiously. He was astonished to see Satria who was daydreaming a lot lately. Every asked for sure Satria will answer it is okay.

That afternoon they ate together at Calabria's house before returning to their home. At lunch with Nilam, Satria talks to her mother about their return.

"So you and your wife want to go back to your house?" ask Nilam while taking water to drink in a glass.

"Yes ma, Satria has said the same papa. Papa has also allowed,"

"All right, but what about your wife and your granddaughter? You don't have a maid there, do you?" Nilam is worried about her grandson's safety, because he knows Satria doesn't have a housekeeper who can help Amayra babysit Rey.

"This is also what Satria wants to talk to mama, Satria wants to follow Dewi Satria to the house of Satria and help Amayra at home," explained Satria expressed her intention to bring Dewi to her home.

"You mean, the Goddess works there?" ask Nilam while raising his eyebrows.

"Yes ma, even if my mom agrees. The Goddess works in the morning and afternoon or when Satria is not at home" Satria replied.

"Okay, just take him. Because Rey can calm down with the Goddess," Nilam agreed, sighing.

"Still ma," Satria replied as she finished her meal with a lethargic face.

"Oh yes Satria, can you come to your house to meet Rey?" ask Nilam.

"By ma," answered Satria quickly.

What do I do, God, May..Rey's..

Nilam immediately talked to Dewi about his extra work at Satria's house. Dewi does not mind, she is happy to help Amayra and Satria to take care of Rey or just clean up the house.

That afternoon after Amayra woke up from her nap. Satria takes her and Rey back home. Satria looks upset and unfocused, but every Amayra asks Satria always says she is fine. One week has passed, Satria still has not said about his departure to Africa. He was still confused and often daydreamed.

After work at night, Satria still looks restless. Thinking of Doctor Daniel's words and Candra's inviolable decisions. After returning from Africa, Satria will get a position as a senior surgeon.

"Sister." call Amayra to her husband and bring a glass of warm tea. Satria was daydreaming looking at the night sky outside the house.

"Yes May?" Satria turned her body, she saw Amayra right behind her.

"It's tea for my sister" replied Amayra.

"I didn't ask for tea" Satria said, taking the hot cup from his wife's hand.

"Yes I know, I made you a warm tea brother. Since I've seen big brother always fretting lately, what's up, brother? Don't tell me it's okay, because I'm sure there must be nothing" Amayra asked her husband to talk about what she was going through. His forehead creased to look at the husband anxiously.

"May, i..." Satria looked at his wife doubtfully.

"Yes, what brother? What is this..work problem?" ask Amayra to guess.

"True, it's a matter of work." replied Satria while nodding.

"Then what's the problem, brother? I'm afraid that you keep daydreaming, I'm afraid that you're sick because you sometimes skip meals, I-" Amayra looked at her husband with a teary look.

"I'm sorry, I made you cry like this. I don't mean to make you anxious, I just want to say it at the right moment" Satria wiped away the tears that were streaming down Amayra's eyes.

GREPS!

Then Satria hugged his wife in a big way. "Satria's brother," soft-spoken Amayra.

"May, can you tonight?" Satria looked at his wife with a glare. Like not holding something back anymore.
