The Wasted Bride

Love Two Sejoli

There is love that leads to obedience. There is also love that makes a person love just because of God. It is Lillah's love that will give true happiness to married couples in sailing their household arks.

As with Arwaa and Attalaric, the two lovebirds are now both waiting for the birth of their first son. Who would have thought in the 4th year of their marriage, they were finally given trust by God with the growth of a small fetus in the womb of Arwaa.

Actually Arwaa had felt sad and almost gave up when she did not get pregnant, but Attalaric never tired to continue to please and calm the wife's heart. He gave an understanding that maybe God really wanted Arwaa to be focused on his education first and their daughter, Hanna, who was still very spoiled at that time to the Mother. Even Hanna never wanted to be far from Arwaa when they were gathering with the entire Arsawijaya family. Hanna was usually close to her Grandmother and Attalaric's two younger siblings.

Arwaa understands. Perhaps true, God did want to give himself time to learn to be a good Mother by being the Mother of Hanna first. Loving her husband's daughter who has never felt a mother's affection since childhood. So Arwaa also learned sincerely if that God has not given her the opportunity to conceive. With do'a every night Arwaa and Attalaric gathered together to wish the best for their little family. She also follows a pregnancy program.

Who would have thought, the greatness of God came to Arwaa and Attalaric after Arwaa successfully completed his education. And now 10-year-old Hanna grows up to be a sweet girl. He was so enthusiastic when he knew that he would soon have a sister. God's plan is always beautiful.

"Assalamu'alaikum Mother..."

"Wa'alaikumsalam."

Hanna immediately ran small towards the door of the house where Arwaa was waiting for her arrival with Attalaric.

The girl who had been sitting in 5th grade took Arwaa's hand and kissed her, then hugged Arwaa and kissed her in the belly of the Mother.

The sweet girl had just come home from her tutoring place and was picked up by Attalaric who happened to come home from work past her daughter's tutoring place as well.

"Didn't play ball, did you, Bun?" Tanyanya looked at Arwaa with eyes that were so innocent that Arwaa gave a small chuckle.

"No dear. Her sister was bobo first," Arwaa gently stroked the veil her daughter wore.

Attalaric who saw the beautiful scenery smiled and immediately stepped into his beloved wife and daughter.

"Assalamu'alaikum dear."

"Wa'alaikumsalam Mas."

Attalaric kissed Arwaa's cheeks and forehead after she had crucified his hand.

"Where are the henchmen in the dalem?" Tanya Attalaric gently stroked Hanna's veil that was still faithfully hugging her Mother.

"Bu-Bundaaa, play ball."

Hanna was aghast as soon as she felt a small kick in Arwaa's stomach while she was sticking her head in her mother's stomach.

Arwaa and Attalaric laughed at their daughter's behavior, "Daddy the bully, so he woke up right."

"Eeeh ko Daddy's... Who can't wait to get out."

Arwaa shook her head to see her husband and daughter arguing small just because the tiny baby was still at home inside her.

"Udah, no. Come on in, you take a shower first. Let Mommy get ready for dinner."

"Yes, my dear Mother..." Attalaric and Hanna answered at the same time.

The three of them entered the house with Arwaa who was in the middle. Attalaric was embracing her and Hanna was holding her hand.

The time before bed is best to do a pillow talk with the lover. Sharing stories about a new day. Just as Arwaa and Attalaric are lying face to face with Attalaric who always gently caress Arwaa's stomach.

"Darling how today, isn't it bothering you?" Tanya Attalaric looked at his wife attentively.

"Alhamdulillah Mas baby her henchman ko," Arwaa's raised hand playing Attalaric hair made the man smile.

"Alhamdulillah then. Can dong Mas jengukin?" Attalaric Temptation up and down her two eyebrows made Arwaa chuckle a little and then get closer to her husband and inching into the Attalaric Deck.

"Sapin my back first but," said Arwaa made Attalaric laugh, but still obey his wife's will.

Indeed, since Arwaa's pregnancy entered the third trimester, her back always feels sore and can be healed by gentle strokes from the husband alone.

"Oiya dear, tomorrow our ajakin mother to stay at her house. How's it?"

"Where, how is Mas? Yes, we do stay there. I miss Mom anyway, and Hanna would want to see Grandma and Grandpa."

Arwaa noticed the change in her husband's expression, "Why?" Ask Arwaa even though she already knows the reason why her husband became like that.

"Mas just doesn't want you to meet him because I'm definitely inviting them too."

"Don't talk like that. They are also the children of Mom and Dad, just like us" said Arwaa smiled sweetly so that her husband could be calmer.

"Stay still, baby. Every time I see him, my heart is always hot. It's so eager to make him feel what you feel at that time...!"

Arwaa put her index finger on Attalaric's lips and looked at her husband.

"It's all in the past. [It's all just the past]. Don't make yourself tired just because of that feeling. Sincerely my darling. Don't we also know if he has confessed his mistake and apologized to me hm? Especially now that she's already your sister-in-law as well."

A small kiss on the lips of the husband Arwaa gave. I hope that her husband feels better.

Attalaric looked sadly at his wife. He was disappointed in himself for not being able to be sincere about the past that befell Arwaa.

"Sorry," she said, making Arwaa smile gently and hold Attalaric's cheek.

"Mas just can't imagine if until you have to hurt like that time."

"My husband sayaaang. Inshaallah now I will be fine because there are you who always protect me and our children. I always feel safe when I'm with you, being in your arms,"

"Everyone must have had a bad past, including Aldair and his wife, Fani. Are we not living in the present? For the future?"

Yes, the one Attalaric refers to is Fani. The woman who once gave many wounds and became a bad memory for Arwaa.

God's destiny no one knows. Although in fact at that time Aldair had hated the figure of Fani. But because of seeing the change of the woman who became better, his heart was recaptured.

Arwaa recalled the second year of her marriage to Attalaric. Aldair comes to their house to tell them that Fani wants to meet him.

Attalaric did refuse to give Fani permission to see his wife, but with the gentleness and patience of Arwaa when lobbying Attalaric. Her husband gave her permission, on condition that she be there as well.

Arwaa herself is actually quite surprised why her husband's hatred of Fani is greater than Arwaa's hatred of women who had become thorns in her household with Aldair.

Even so there was a warm feeling running through Arwaa's heart seeing the great concern Attalaric had for her at this time, just because she was about to meet Fani.

Attalaric admitted that he hated Fani because of the incident when Arwaa hurt Aldair due to the woman's cunning.

His love for the husband seemed to become more when he remembered the time Attalaric who noticed and took care of himself when he was treated at the house of Arsawijaya after the captivity that Aldair did.

Even so Attalaric also still appreciates her as a woman who is not his mahram. By preparing breakfast, lunch, and dinner on Arwaa, and after Attalaric must ask if anyone is still sick or not. If the man always goes away.

Arwaa used to feel the attention given by her ex-sister-in-law who has become her husband at this time, enough to make herself feel a little uncomfortable because it was their relationship that was just a brother-in-law. Moreover, Arwaa at that time was not too sensitive with all the attention given by her husband.

But now, Arwaa is very grateful because finally every day must be her husband is always caring and pampering himself.

Even when Aldair told all the members of Arsawijaya's family that he was going to marry Fani. Attalaric instead calms Arwaa, worried that his wife still keeps the taste of Aldair, so it will be sad because of the news given by his sister.

Though at that time for Arwaa, in her heart there was no other man's name other than her husband, Attalaric.

Basic 🤭

"Why you, baby?"

"Eh?"

Arwaa smiled embarrassedly at being caught smiling to herself while thinking about Attalaric.

"Nothing dear," said Arwaa normalized her expression and returned a gentle smile to her husband.

"Now I hope Mas learned sincerely about what has happened, because I want to live with Mas in the absence of memories of the past that continue to haunt,"

"We make the past a valuable lesson for us to build a better future. Don't be the past as a barrier to our happiness."

Attalaric immediately hugged Arwaa carefully, of course, so that the baby in the womb Arwaa is not squeezed.

"Thank you so much for making love. I love you so much."

"We love you so much, too, dear."

Slowly but surely the couple who are looking at each other. Slowly the two erode the distance and become closer to starting a loving struggle.

Clearly emanated the sincerity of love in each of the two lovebirds. Desire to have and protect each other.

Together with honesty and faith that is always fostered every day, making the love that Lillah is so strong. Not wavering with the temptation that always try to sneak and become thorns in the household Arwaa and Attalaric.

The love of two lovebirds is too strong to let that happen.
