The Perfect Love

The Perfect Love

Arini watered the flowers in her yard. He liked the paper flower trees that he graced. Initially on the paper flower tree there is only one color, namely white. After he grafting now on the paper flower tree there is one more flower color is purple. He learned to coculate plants from Pak Usu Zukri. Mr. Usu Zukri is the youngest brother of his mother. Formerly Pak Usu Zukri had been in school at Flora Agung Pontianak Agricultural University. During his studies in Pontianak Pak Usu Zukri lived with his family. It was then used by Arini to learn about agricultural science from Pak Usu Zukri. Incidentally one of Arini's hobbies is gardening.

After finishing his school Mr. Usu Zukri decided to return to Sambas. But a year later Mr. Usu Zukri decided to migrate again. This time to Miri. Miri is the second largest city after Kuching in Sarawak. In the year two thousand five Miri was named as the first city in Malaysia that is not the capital city to gain the status of a major city.

In Miri Pak Usu Zukri works as a gardener in one of the wealthy families there.

Finished watering the Arini plant then decided to take a shower. Finished bathing and getting dressed, Arini glanced briefly at the wall clock in the living room. Nine and thirty hours. Thirty minutes to come to his house. Quickly he went to the kitchen to check whether the cake chai and the doko-doko he steamed had been cooked. He also checked if there was any tea or sugar in the kitchen. Thankfully, both are still there so there is no need to buy any more.

"Assalamualaikum" a greeting sounded from outside the house thirty minutes later.

"Walaikumsalam," quickly Arini darted to the front door and opened it. The figure of you is standing in front of him now. Using a long dress in baby pink combined with a matching colored veil.

They then perform a ritual when a woman meets her female friend, kissing the left cheek of the right cheek.

"You haven't been here for a long time."

"I'm sorry I can just now, get busy."

Because undergoing a tube baby program that requires it to go back and forth to Malaysia and also had time to fly to Jakarta, Andari rarely met Arini. Once a week they usually meet. It is usually Saturday because it is Sunday he and Fahri usually hold a family gathering with Nizar and Azizah.

"Well, she's a big madam."

"What the hell am I still the old you."

Arini then let you into the house. He then sat on a chair in the living room after Arini invited him to sit down.

"I'm not bad for a drink, I'm just for a minute" you said. But Arini stays in the kitchen and hoses a few later she brings a tray. On the tray were two hand-me-down plates and two cups of warm tea. No need to be asked what to drink, because Arini knows your favorite drink especially if it is raining like today. Outside the rain suddenly fell even though it was not as bad as last night's rain.

Arini smiled when she saw the doko-doko and chai kwe made by Arini placed on the plate.

"Remember the past if make doko-doko same chai kwe ."

Arini likes to fail if making both hands, making both his brother and Pak Usu Zukri laugh. Fortunately both of his famous brothers-in-law are good at making cakes to help this problem.

"Enak," you commented after tasting the doko-doko and chai kwe made by Arini.

Actually, Arini has aspirations to open a cafe business with the concept of a flower garden. But he thinks that hope is too high. He's just a cashier. While opening the business certainly requires capital that is not small.

"Why haven't you been here long?" Arini asked again. The same question they had when they met.

"I follow the baby tube program so I have to go back and forth Pontianak-Sarawak."

"Why didn't you tell Ri?"

"I'm so sorry that my mind was focused on the baby tube program."

"Why are you so?"

You explain everything you can about what the doctor said at that time to Arini.

"Then what is the result of the tube baby program that you went through with Bang Fahri?"

"Maybe it's not the solution yet, the tube baby I've had with Bang Fahri is negative."

"Oh yeah, he said there's something you want to talk about."

"Emak Nurpiah wants a grandson from Bang Fahri."

"Continue?"

"Because I'm barren I told Bang Fahri to remarry."

"Geez Ri, you're serious."

"I'm serious."

"Rin...."You do not continue his words.

"Will you.." Again you do not continue his words. Weight You feel at this moment to say the next sentence. But has he not been sincere in his decision why now he must doubt.

"Will you marry Fahri" You try to keep tears from spilling from her eyes. But he can't.

Arini was shocked. They had just met again but Andari had made a difficult request for her to fulfill.

"Why are you doing this Ri?"

"You mean?"

" It's been a long time since I've buried my love for Bang Fahri. I've also made Bang Fahri married to you. Why must you reawaken this love."

"I know but it's a complicated matter."

"On the child?" ask Arini. Actually, he was sad too. Five years married, his best friend has not been blessed with children.

"Is this a request from Bang Fahri himself that you allow him to remarry?"

"No Mak Nurpiah asked for it. Let me tell you that Mak Nurpiah wants to take a grandson from Bang Fahri."

"Keep you agree?"

"I don't want to be selfish."

"Why did you choose me to be Bang Fahri's second wife?"

"Because you're my best friend and I believe in you. You also love and love Bang Fahri. I believe Bang Fahri will be very happy with you."

"But you'll get hurt and I don't want to be the one to hurt you."

"I beg Rin, I only believe in you."

"All right, give me some time to think."'

"I'll call you later" Arini continued

***

"I've met Arini Bang. He can't give you the answer now." Andari said to Fahri at night.

"You shouldn't have to do this" said Fahri, who sat on the edge of their bed.

"We've talked about this before Bang and we've agreed."

This time Fahri chose silence not to win but your words.

***

Two o'clock past fifteen in the morning at this time the clock is placed on the wall of Arini's room, on the head of his bed shows the time. He has not been able to catch his eyes. His heart felt steady for what answers he would give later to Youari related to the request of his best friend, after he had been doing Istikhara prayer, fifteen minutes ago. Youari, before they split this morning, did suggest that he do Istikhara prayer.

But the memory cannot be dammed for the flood that suddenly flew its current dragging him into the past, filling his mind now.
