The Rain Is Pouring's

LOVE

Sidney, November 30, 2022

Tonight Aiman was busy with his tablet. He is also busy running his family's company.

I like to see him in his pajamas and see him busy with his business. Soon the company will shut down, of course, a lot of planning must be prepared for the future. I made it ginger wedang, put it on the marble table.

I approached sitting next to him and leaning on his shoulder, looking at the charts I did not understand. He took my hand and kissed her. He kissed my forehead too.

 "Darling, are you sleepy?  I was still a long time, lie down first" said Aiman and grabbed his cup of crap. 

"Love ya," he said. 

"I want to make chicken soup" said Amel.

"It's really cold again" said Aiman.

"Okay, I'll present it to you" said Amel.

Amel took the chicken from the refrigerator and liquefied it. He started slicing herbs and vegetables. Aiman kept looking at his wife, wanting to hug her or continue his work.

"Look!!!" yell Amel.

"Darling?"Aiman was surprised and rushed into the kitchen.

"Why baby?" ask Aiman worriedly.

"My hands are sliced, mas" replied Amel.

"Oh, a lot of blood. Mas cleanin first yes," Aiman took a sip of blood coming out of the wife's finger and led Amel to the chair, then took the P3K box. The husband cleaned the wound with ethanol and bandaged it. He stroked the head of his wife. Amel was still surprised, his index finger began to feel sore.

"Father, baby. It's better. I want to continue cooking first

"Don't let it cook..." Aiman got up from the chair immediately. Amel held her back, she hugged her husband from behind.

"Darling, finish your job first. Please..," pinta Amel.

Aiman clasped the two tiny hands that were still wrapped around her stomach, she turned around and looked at that adorable sweet face.

"I give up this way" he told his wife, making her blush. Aiman grabbed the wife's sweet lips and kissed her.

"I need you badly." said the husband hugging her.

"It seems like I can live a lot longer, because I married the man who always gave me energy. My weakened battery always refills as soon as it runs out. I feel very lucky. Thank you my husband" Amel told him.

Marriage is not about who is fast, but who you marry. Marry someone who has an ocean of patience, who can shower you with affection, not punches or mockery. Marry someone who respects you and protects you.

"Small works completed are better than great plans discussed only" murmured Aiman, who was finished with his work.

Amel also served his cooked chicken soup and called the husband to the pantry table. "How does it feel?" tanya Amel wants to know . "This is the best cuisine in the whole world." replied the husband.

"Ah, I can but, thank you for the compliment," said Amel.

"Antime. Whatever you cook I'll eat it, because I know my wife's cooking is the most delicious food in the whole world" Aiman said.

"How can you beat your mama's cooking?" ask Amel.

"You are all equally delicious, but since marriage I prefer your cooking deh, dear." said Aiman.

Amel smiled with satisfaction. "That means my cooking is not the most-----enakkk, either" Amel murmured.

"Oiya, how's Grandma doing? Have you been calling her all day?" Ask Aiman.

"Yes, I called him this afternoon. Grandma said kangen. I miss him too" replied Amel.

"Last semester we will meet grandma" said Aiman.

"Thank you dear. I can't live without you," Amel reached for the husband's hand.

Amel slept in the warm embrace of her husband. Although in fact, he was very eager to have a baby, but for the sake of smooth study and seeing the situation, they were willing to postpone it on mutual agreement.

"Honey.." said Aiman.

"Yes, honey?" sahut Amel's.

"Let's break our covenant" said Aiman. Amel looked at the husband.

"I want to be a father. I promise I won't let you live hard" said Aiman.

Amel shed her tears. "Really?" the wife asked in surprise at her husband's confession.

"I want him to call me Dad" he said. He knew that his wife wanted to have a baby.

"Thank you, baby," Amel sobbed with happiness.

"Do you want a girl or a boy?" ask Amel.

"I want a boy's first child, so I can protect his sisters. The second and the next girl can also," replied Aiman.

"I agree with you" said Amel who was like her husband.

After returning from Amel campus to the cake shop owned by his mother in Sidney, from now on he is in charge of managing. "Alhamdulillah, today the cake sold a lot," Amel thanked for the abundance of sustenance today.

Amel was slightly disturbed because of Julie who looked moody. Julie picked up the phone.

"Julie, today we have to pay the rent or we will be evicted. I just paid your sister's tuition" someone in a bad tone spoke on the phone.

"It's none of my business, from now on I'll just take care of myself. Live with your greed!" sahut Julie's. He hung up the phone and cried. He finished his cries, then wiped clean with a handkerchief.

"Is your stepmother again?" ask Andrew. Julie nodded.

Today the salary has gone into the accounts of each employee, Amel handed out their pay slips.

"Thank's, Mrs.Amel," said Julie and Andrew, who were delighted to receive it.

"Thank you for your hard work. I'm wrapping this bread for you. I'm happy to have honest and smart employees like you. Think of this as a form of gratitude. Pray for me, hopefully in the future can give more rewards for you," said Amel.

"Ready, Mistress!" yell at them both. Eventually they closed the shop. Aiman came on time.

"Assalamu'alaikum.." said Aiman.

"Wa'alaikumussalam," answered all including Julie and Andrew who had been accustomed to answering, because they understood the meaning of greetings is a prayer of salvation. Amel kissed her husband's hand, Aiman kissed his wife's forehead.

"They're in perfect harmony" Julie said.

"Yape! I'm happy to see a couple like them" said Andrew.

"Julie, Andrew. be careful!" said Aiman.

"Every Master, Master and gynecologist be careful on the road as well." said Andrew. Julie waves to the boss.

"Are you going to pay your stepmother's rent again?" ask Andrew.

"No, from now on I won't pay anything related to them. No matter how much I give my heart, it won't make them love me.

"I agree with you." said Andrew.

"It's easier to turn a mountain into dust than to instill love in a heart filled with hate" Julie said.

"You're so wise, Julie." said Andrew.

"I accidentally read the quote on the screen of the madam's tablet, by Ali bin Abi Talib," Julie replied.

"Who is he?" ask Andrew.

Julie shook her head. "But many Muslims take advice from Ali's beautiful words" Julie replied.

Till home..

"Darling, I don't seem to be feeling well" said Amel.

"Why? You must be soy sauce, I made ginger wedang ya," said Aiman. He rushed to the pantry.

"Hoekkkkkkk..hoekkk.." there was a sound of vomiting in the toilet.

Aiman hurried to get his wife into bed. He also prepared a basin of warm water to soak his wife's feet.

"Slow, baby.." Aiman washed his wife's feet and soaked them in a basin.

"I put a little salt in it" said Aiman.

"Thank you, baby. It's delicious" said Amel who looked limp with his hands resting on the shoulders of the husband who was sitting in a low chair.

"i'll drink it," Amel grabbed a cup of ginger wedang. After that, Amel leaned on the bed.

Aiman looked for pajamas in the cupboard, then wiped the wife's body with warm water. He also kissed his wife. "It's so sweet to sleep like this, how I don't fall in love with a simple, obedient woman. I Love You" muttered Aiman smiling.

"Bos, we're a big profit. Be ready for the dollar bonus.." Arsyah reported via chat.

"Alhamulillah." whispered Aiman in heart.

Aiman hastened to wash his basin. When he entered the toilet he was surprised to see a urine bottle that had a test pack.

"Line 2, positive? Wife's pregnant..Alhamdulillah.." he went out and gave thanks. Aiman covered his wife, breaking her hair. "I will protect you until the end, you must be happy my two angels," said Aiman.

"Mama... Aiman is a father!" Aiman sent a voicemail to his mother at midnight. That night Aiman awoke in the night, he took ablution water, read the quran, and recited it while blowing a prayer in the stomach of the wife. Amel awoke, astonished at her husband. "Why are you rubbing my stomach?" ask Amel.

Aiman showed me the results of last night's test pack.

"God willing, Thank God. She was crying and very grateful. "Where are you doing it now?" ask husband.

"Dear, I'm hungry" said Amel.

"OK, I will prepare a delicious meal for the two of you," Aiman said.

"Alhamdulillah, I became a mother.' said Amel. He hurried to take ablution.

"If he is a son, I want him to be a good son. If she is a princess, make her a righteous child, O Allah." her prayer so sincerely soared into the sky.
