CHAPTER 10

That motherly instinct can come out, even though she has not yet had children. ~Aqila Kanaira Princess Cullen~

****

Aqila and Khali. The tears that had been wiped by Mama Angel flowed back. The woman who had three children was so compassionate to see the condition of her daughter. 

Why should Aqila?

Since he was a child, his life has been a struggle. Without the father's affection, living in deprivation and being betrayed by his lover. 

Why are so many tests happening to him today?

What else does her daughter have to be. What was her fault in the past, until her daughter who had to bear all this burden. 

Is this karma?

Karma because she ran away with her husband here. 

If it was true, was it her sin that caused Aqila to reach the present point?

Adel who is powerless about the condition of his mother immediately embraced Mama Angel. She understood what the mother of three felt, because she could also feel.

"Mama must be strong. For Aqila, Ma. He needs our support" said Adel rubbing the back of his aging mother.

"Is this Mama's karma, son? Is this your sister's sin?" ask him with a lot of fun.

Adel shook his head, "it's Aqila's destiny, Ma. The test that God has prepared for him in the world."

"Mama should be strong. Aqila needs our spirit, Ma." Finally Kevin who had been silent, followed him talking.

Slowly the embrace of Adel and Mama Angel came off. She gently wiped away her mother's tears. 

"There's a way, Ma. I'm sure there will be a time when Aqila will be happy" Adel said confidently with a smile on her lips.

"Aamiin's." 

Axel, who had been silent, approached his mother.

"I'm sorry, Ma. Because I asked Aqila to come home. My sister was feeling sad right now, "sorry Axel looked at his mother.

Mama Angel switch. He looked at his son who was already a father. 

"It's not your fault, son. Your brother said, this is a test. We can only be next to your sister and be her encouragement." 

Axel nodded. Isn't that what her brother said, Adel?

That's what they should do now.

It is not about the world that can be made, but it is about the child that can only be given by God.

What can only be done by them at this time is just pray and become the best support system for his sister and daughter.

Midnight.

When everyone starts to fall asleep it will be his sleep. There is a woman who wakes up to sleep. He felt thirsty and made him get out of bed. 

Aqila immediately poured water from the teapot into the glass and brought it to the dining table. Sitting quietly, he began to gulp down the white water slowly. The wetness was so refreshing that Aqila's ears soon caught the sound of a child crying. 

Intrigued, he immediately put his glass into the sink and headed straight for the source of the sound. Her eyes squinted at the door of her brother's room opening slightly.

The more his footsteps approached, the sound of crying grew louder. Aqila peeked out of the doorway and found sister-in-law and sister Axel calming the sweet baby down. 

Tok to tok.

Finally, her mother's feeling grew stronger and made Aqila knock on the door.

"Oh." Axel. He did not expect that behind the door of his room was the younger sister, "what was Xalena's voice on the second floor?" axel asked after telling Aqila to come in.

"No, Brother." Aqila shook her head, "I just came from the kitchen and heard the sound of a child crying. It was here," he said by looking at his sister-in-law who looked troubled. 

The pitying Axel finally took the expert. The father of one child began to hold his little daughter. But again, the sound of crying grew louder.

"Is Lena sick, sister?" aqila asked Lana, Axel's wife.

Lana shakes. "He usually wakes up at night and drinks milk and then sleeps again. This is somehow why she won't suckle." 

Aqila switch. She approached her brother who seemed to have been so overwhelmed. 

"May Qila be fat?" 

Axel looked at his sister. He did not hesitate one bit, nodding, Axel immediately gave Xalena in Aqila's sling.

Patiently, Aqila rubbed her head as she read out the seat letter from her lips. Afraid that the little baby was bored, Aqila also took him to the living room where the lights had been turned on. 

Aqila held him and held Xalena full of tenderness. The sound of sholawat chanting from his lips was certainly heard by Axel and Lana. 

The couple, staring in admiration at Aqila. Not knowing if the girl painstakingly calmed her first child. Before long, Mama Angel, Kevin, Adel and Khali came out of the room.

The sound of crying was loud. However, before long her cries dimmed and the sweet baby looked calm in Aqila's sling. There is a sense of happiness in women who so want to get pregnant. 

"Allah, thank God." Aqila rewarded the kiss on Xalena's little forehead with a fluffy smile.

He turned around and was surprised to see that everyone was there. Being too focused on Xalena, Aqila was unaware of the arrival of her husband and family. 

"Bothers huh?" asked Aqila grimacing. 

He approached while holding baby Xalena who was sound asleep in his arms.

"No, son. It's normal, but you're so good at calming her down" Mama Angel said.

Aqila smiled. "Xalena's put to bed where's sister?" 

"In the baby box, Dek."

With great care, Aqila placed the tiny baby in her box. Her lips grew even more smiling seeing Xalena wriggling and returning to sleep.

Finally that night, everyone started to return to their rooms after Xalena started not crying and woke up again.
