TELL LAURA I LOVE HER
SOMETHING'S MOVING

MEET AGAIN WITH THE SECOND CHAPTER TODAY

YANKTIE SAYS GOOD READING

The doctor did not want to say that directly. Laura and Gerry get close to the gurney. “Abang, we know Brother is strong. We wait for Brother to return,” whispered Laura. He returned to kiss Syahrul's cheek

“How to promise we'll get married soon. Don't make me wait too late.”

While Gerry read al-Qur’an slowly from his cellphone. “Kak, we pray Maghrib first yok,” invite Gerry.

“We replace De. Sister does not want to stay Abang alone,” said Laura.

Gerry went out to pray, he contacted his mother. “Looks like brother won't be coming home. Just now the critical condition and doctors ask the family to pray for the best for Abang.”

“Astagfirullaaaah. May you be strong. Mama can't imagine how your sister if you also go like Tommy,” Claudia immediately sobbed to hear her youngest child tell me how Syahrul's condition is today.

“Kak, I don't want Brother to be sick. We have dinner first yok. After that we enter again to read Qur’an together with Brother,” Gerry invites his brother who just finished praying for dinner first.

“Lazy brother De,” says Laura. How can he eat when he sees the condition of Syahrul as it is now?

“If you don't eat, I can't wait for you Brother inside,” Gerry tried to threaten Laura. He didn't want his brother to drop.

“Then you buy it across or delivery order. Brother does not want a way out,” finally Laura relented.

Gerry buys food online so he doesn't leave Laura alone. Although long and difficult to run out, but Laura tried to eat. He did not want to get sick so it would be troublesome. He suggested he should be strong.

‘There are Nazwa and Fahri that I have to think about. I'll hold on to them. If daddy they can't hold on. I'm all they got,” Laura thought. He was prepared to accept the worst possibility that Syahrul should leave him.

“Abang, we start njai yes. As always. But this time I'm with Gerry. We read together, huh?” bring Laura to Syahrul in the man's ear.

Lirih Gerry and Laura read the Qur’an from their mobile phones. When Gerry finished, he came out to let Laura tell Syahrul.

At midnight Laura who was asleep while sitting next to the gurney Syahrul woke up because she heard a quite crowded voice. The patient at the other end of the room looked healthy yesterday and would be moved to a regular critical care room and die. The sound of her family's crying made Laura even sadder.

“Mas,” Wulan is still still holding her stomach. He took August's hand and put his stomach down.

“There is a motion Sweety,” peekik August felt a little movement in his wife's stomach. Shamelessly and without permission August lifted the shirt Wulan wore, he held directly to his wife's stomach. He doesn't want to be blocked by a layer of cloth.

“Assalamu’alaykum son Father,” greet August. He kissed Wulan's stomach. And the owner of the stomach can only sob. She had no idea she would feel August's sincere love for her son.

“Hey don't cry. Pity dede that Mother was crying,” August felt tears wet the back of her hand. He immediately stood up and hugged his wife.

“Mommy cries for happiness Well,” replies Wulan while hugging her husband back. A man far from his expectations. But instead he managed to have it unexpectedly.

***

“Mas, why is this stored here? And who's it?” Wulan showed a small paper bag containing a ring box on August's clothes rack. He's putting August's new shirt in, he's ironing.

“What will Mas give to other women?” Wulan began to feel bad about her husband's behavior.

“It's not like that Sweety. The ring was bought secretly while we were shopping for our wedding ring. You remember ‘kan when out of the jewelry store Mas permission to go to the toilet and you buy coffee? It was actually Mas back to the jewelry store to buy the ring you like.” said August slowly.

“The intention is that when Mas's application will hand over the ring. But because Mas nervous, the ring even left behind in the hotel,” said August timidly.

“That's why when our application there is no ring. Farhan and Yudha bully Mas for forgetting to bring this ring,” August took the box, opened it and put it on the ring finger of his wife's left hand. Because on the ring finger of the right hand there is their wedding ring.

“Mas can be nervous too?” ask Wulan in disbelief. He looked at the ring he had just pinned on him.

“You made Mas nervous. Mas who has experienced gini lost to a new child graduating high school,” August hugged his wife tightly and pecked the top of Wulan's head. He was completely subdued by this little boy.

Today August forces Wulan to check the contents. It was not a month before the previous examination. They last checked the condition of the baby while visiting the doctor Syahrul three weeks ago. Before they got married. Now August is forced to check because he feels the baby's movements in his wife's stomach.

“We check all see doctor Syahrul again,” so the reason August earlier. Unfortunately in the ICU they didn't see Laura or anyone else waiting. Laura's stuff in the waiting room is covered by a mat. Another waiter said Laura left since morning.

“We started shopping for hotshot Dad yes,” invite August. They had seen the sex of the baby in the womb Wulan.

“What's a no-nonsense Yah?” Wulan still remembers the old advice that prohibits buying baby equipment if the pregnancy is under seven months.

“Mothers don't believe myths. There is no speed term to buy baby equipment,” said August while opening the car door for his wife.

“Dad again is a great seneng,” August put forward what he feels at the moment.

“Why?” ask Wulan.

“Because our boy,” replies August, he took a dime to pay for parking as they were going out of the hospital area.

“What if this baby girl Daddy is not happy?” ask Wulan a little disappointed.

“Not so. Don't get me wrong. If our son is a girl, Dad will not have the heart when he will get married. Because I'm sure Dad can't be his guardian. At that time we have to be honest that Dad is not his real father,” August said the reason.

Wulan just understood what August meant. It is true that August was forbidden to be a guardian for girls who were not his biological children.

Laura went back to sleep holding the fingers of Shahrul. Earlier when the deceased patient was taken out of this room, Laura could only kiss Syahrul's fingers. A closet that can provide warmth. A fingers that can bring calm. The fingers that could gently rub the cheeks even his lips.

The head is in the bed. And sleeping in while sitting, that's what Laura chose tonight. He was increasingly afraid Syahrul could not survive and he had to ‘wanda’ before ijab kabul.
