IKHTIAR AKMAL LOVE
BONCHAP `ICA` 4

After satay on the dining table with other side dishes. Nowadays everyone is sitting in the dining room to be ready to enjoy satay that has been purchased by Akmal.

Akmal looks very excited to eat the satay he has bought it. "Come on! At eating. Akmal can't wait to taste this satay."

"You are Mal! Like never eating satay!"

Akmal confirmed the father's words. "Akmal never ate this satay Dad."

Everyone immediately looked strangely at Akmal. And suspicious of the satay that has been held on the dining table.

"What satay is Abu? Which Abu bought?"

Cyra's question represents everyone's question.

"Sate horse. Ash wants to eat horse satay."

Surprised! What satay that Akmal bought out of their expectations. And it's not just Akmal who has never eaten horse satay. But they're all. Including the aunts and mamas who work at Rafiq's father's house.

The mamang who have tasted satay given by Akmal. They feel a little different from the satay they usually eat.

"What satay is it? Does it taste weird but good?" said one mamang.

"If the beef satay is not like this the texture. This meat is a little soft and there is no fat at all" said another mamang.

"Eitherway! I feel that way too. Let's ask the aunts later."

The other man agreed. Similarly, the aunts who are enjoying satay in the kitchen.

"Bi Ningsih's! What is satay? What is cow satay?"

Bi Ningsih who was asked by bi Darmi also felt confused. "I don't know either. But it tastes good, it's delicious."

"Is it different from beef?"

The aunts nodded to Narsih. Suddenly from the direction of the kitchen door, there was a Tukiyah bi who had just entered into the kitchen.

"Eh-uh-uh! You guys wanna hear something from me?"

Everyone was immediately curious about the words from bi Tukiyah. Including bi Narsih though.

"What is tho Toukiyah?" ask bi Narsih.

"That's Bi. Satay that Akmal bought was horse satay. Not chicken or goat or cow satay."

Everyone was immediately shocked. Even bi Darmi to reflex spew satay that he just bit. Bi Darmi did not expect. If the meat that had just entered his mouth was horse meat. And now the aunts are not on the mark asking again what satay they are currently eating.

Back to Akmal and the others.

"Sa-sate horse son?"

Akmal justifies the speech of umma Nada. "Yes Umma! I don't know why Akmal wants to eat this satay."

"Again halal ko we eat horse satay."

"Halal is halal. But extreme for Abi" replied Abi Rashid.

Akmal laughed at Abi Rashid's words. "Let's eat. If you don't want the same one, you can still eat the others."

And finally! They all ate the dishes that had been served on the table. The one who spends the most on his horse satay is Akmal. Others just taste as necessary. Even though they like the taste. But they all chose not to continue eating it.

"Alhamdulillah. It feels so full. And thank God, Abu did not feel sick dear because of this horse satay." Akmal spoke while rubbing Cyra's stomach gently.

Just now mama Jian finished speaking. Uh! si Akmal said his wish again was what he really wanted.

"Oh yes Abi, Dad. Do you have any friends who keep horses?"

Abi Rashid and Rafiq's father looked at each other immediately at Akmal's words.

"Why Nak?"

Akmal immediately answered abi Rashid's question. "Akmal would love to see a horse give birth."

"Well!" say everyone.

"Astaghfiullah!" Cyra directly rubbed his chest while being a bitighfar.

"Astaghfirullah's. I thought you were going to ride a horse. Not yearning!" rafiq's father looks anxious with Akmal.

"Why Dad, then? It seems like it's exciting to see a horse give birth."

"Gru-shir! What a hell!" said Rafiq's father.

"Rather than wanting to see a horse give birth. It will be better. You helped Cyra give birth. Let's know how a mother gets her baby out!"

"Mother! Abu don't be weird!"

Cyra massaged her forehead due to an unusual request from Akmal. Really seeing a husband who is having a sympathetic pregnancy makes Cyra more dizzy than her previous pregnancy.

Because Akmal wants a request that seems difficult to grant. Akmal slightly sulked and became non-exciting. Even so, Cyra remains attentive by feeding Akmal with full attention.

For that night. Cyra and Akmal with baby Zahwa spend their night staying at Rafiq's father's house.

It was the first time Cyra had slept in Akmal's room. And for the first time too. Cyra didn't sleep in Mirza's room.

Cyra noticed once what was inside Akmal's room. Cyra smiled to herself as she recalled the first time she had walked into her husband's room. All the events that happened at Rafiq's father's house still vividly remembered in his memory.

A lie! If Cyra says she's forgotten about Mirza. Because whenever Mirza's name will always be in her heart. Adjoining the name Akmal who is currently resting in his heart.

Cyra's footsteps stopped. When he reached Akmal's desk on which there was a photo of him in college first taken by Akmal candidly.

"Bismillah. You are my soul mate. Both now and forever. Till Jannah my Cyra." Cyra read the writing behind the picture frame while smiling to herself.

Cyra's gaze shifted towards Akmal who was currently calling himself with his eyes closed.

"Enjoy! Why is Umi standing there? Umi can't sleep?" akmal sounds are very typical of people who are still sleepy.

Cyra was still smiling. She walked to the bed and laid her body beside her husband.

Akmal then hugged Cyra tightly, carrying her into the blanket he was wearing. And they sleep by hugging each other.

"Don't go! Never doubt Abu's love for Umi. It is better for Abu to die than to lose Umi. Because half of Abu's soul is Umi."

Akmal spoke without opening his eyes at all in a position to hug Cyra.

"Sleep Baby. Umi will always belong to Abu." Cyra gently rubbed Akmal's chin.

It was calm with Cyra's embrace. Akmal quickly fell asleep again in his sleep. And that night they slept soundly under the same blanket.
