The Energy Of Love 2
About Henry

After the wedding, they had lunch together. The wall clock in the room was almost three o'clock. The Ashar prayer time is coming soon. Henry, Fira and his parents sat at a special table. They enjoyed the dishes served by the hotel. There is an appetizer to the end.

Amidst the fun of these two families chatting warmly, the ringing of Fira's device rang. Fira immediately stopped eating. His right hand reached into the bag to pick up the device. Looking at the screen of the device, it turns out that incoming call from Lefia.

Fira moved from her seat. He made a distance so as not to disturb the quiet chatter of his family. Jemari Fira deftly picked up the phone from Lefia.

"Hello, what's up, Lef?" said Fira.

"Mom, I'm sorry, Mas Irwan and I went home to Miss Fira, yeah. You see, said Mbak Ressa and Nina-Mas Zayn fought with Dik Alira," explained Lefia.

"Astaghfirullah, Zayn! What's Alira doing, anyway?"

"Not sure yet, Mom. It's me and Mas Irwan still on their way home."

"Yes, already, then I'm also coming home from here soon."

"Nggeh, Mom. Assalamu'alaikum."

"Wa'alaikumsalam."

Fira growled while holding the device. It is expected that Zayn has not been able to accept the presence of his half-brother. He prayed in his heart that the dispute between Zayn and Alira would not be excessive. Hearing the news, Fira lost her appetite. He sat back in the chair with a stare.

"Oh, yes, Fir, I'd like to ask you a question" Henry said.

"Ask what?" Fira was a bit lethargic as she glanced at Henry.

"When did you marry Mas Kirsandi, what dowry? And what's the call?"

"Five hundred thousand cash. Same is a lot. I used to ask for a little, but Mas Kirsandi wants me to call more than one a hand."

"How much is it?"

"There are shoes, I happen to like shoes. Mukena, prayer mats and a few sets of Muslim fashion."

"Now, what do you want to dowry?"

"Yes, as you can, Hen. Do you know the love story of Ali bin Abi Talib with Fatimah Az Zahra?"

"Know, Ali ibn Abi Talib with Fatimah Az Zahra loved each other in silence so that no one knew the contents of their hearts, except Allah. Now I know what dowry I'm going to give you, Fira."

"Thank God, then. I got carried away when I read Ali bin Talib's love story with Fatimah Az Zahra. Dear God, how beautiful love is in silence and prayer."

"God willing, I am with you and the children become a family of Sakinah mawadah warahmah. I just want you to be my future heavenly angel, "inner Henry.

Momentary silence. Henry and Fira's eyeballs were peppered with each other. Both don't care about the surroundings. Two people love each other is washed away in the feeling of romance.

"Hen," said Fira.

"Fir," said Henry.

Fira awakens from daydreams. "You wanna talk? By the way!"

"You first say." So too with Henry aware of daydreams.

"You're it!" Fira.

"There's actually something I need to talk to you about. Maybe it's hard to accept" Henry said.

"What's that about?" ask Fira curiously.

Henry glimpsed to his mommy and papi. Intan nodded as if he wanted Henry to reveal something immediately. Ratih and Fatih paused on chewing food. Fira's parents are also curious about something Henry will reveal.

"Emm, if we're married. I want us to put off having children first" Henry said.

"Why is that?" fira asked dumbfounded to hear Henry's statement.

"My chauffeur is three now, right? Zayn, Zema and Alira. I have loved Zayn and Zema as my own children. And Alira? I'm learning to accept that boy. Actually a lot of consideration, because Alira son of the second wife Mas Kirsandi. But, Alira was a child, she did not sin. I want to give them love first. Until they're really ready to have another sister" Henry explained.

"Yes, that's right, too. I will also give my love to Alira. Alira lost her parents. He must really need a father-mother figure, " thought Fira.

"You're not having a problem with this, are you?"

"No. Only later do we seem to need some enlightenment from an Ustadz about Alira and you. Alira is the son of Sabrina and Mas Kirsandi. Especially if Alira is an adult."

"That's why I said a lot of consideration. We'd better need some enlightenment from someone who understands that science."

"By the kids, I remember Lefia calling me, Zayn and Alira fighting again. We better get home soon, huh."

"Oh Allah, what happened to Zayn and Alira?" ask Ratih.

"No idea, Mom. Mending we just go home," said Fira.

"Yes, we're going to your house soon" Henry asked.

"Yes, Hen. I ordered a taxi on the phone. Your car was taken by Mas Irwan earlier."

"Oh, yes, ding! Yeah, I'm, call a cab right away."

"Mama," whined Alira immediately hugged Fira who had just come home.

Fira, Henry and his two parents are treated by Alira's cries and Zayn's anger. The atmosphere of the living room became barren. Zayn so haughtily stood with his hands crossed. His face was grimly full of annoyance towards his half-sister.

"Just tell Mama! Zayn was studying in the living room, the boy was running around, even stomping on Zayn's textbooks. So don't be fussy, why the hell?" namel Zayn.

"Zay!" shouted Fira with a glowing look.

"Don't you know that Zayn likes to study in the living room? Zema never bothered Zayn. Ever since this kid, Zayn's been distracted!"

"Ma! Mending Alira put it in an orphanage, huh! Anyway Zayn can't accept that he's still here, period!"

"Enough Zayn! Zayn should be grateful to still have Mama and Om Henry! Imagine, if Zayn was in the position of Alira, there were no fathers. Think of it!" fira snapped until his voice boomed in the room. The entire crowd was dumbfounded to hear the snapping of Fira. Including Henry.

"You don't love Zayn anymore!" Zayn ran towards the room while crying.

Zayn entered the room until he slammed the door violently. While Fira's lips trembled Istighfar. Fira's knees drooped, she hugged Alira. Zema, who was also there, approached Fira and Alira. They hugged each other. After snapping at Zayn, Fira sobbed.

"Mommy loves the kids Mama. Mama wants these Mama's kids to live well. Mama knows Zayn's feelings, but Alira is also Zayn's sister. O Allah, help the servant so that Zayn understands and can accept his half-brother" murmured Fira.

Henry sat down near Zema and Alira. She gently brushed the two children's hair. As a father-to-be for children, Henry learned to face three children with different characters. Seeing Fira's sadness, Henry could feel how difficult it was to be a mother. Of course share love and fair affection for children.

"I'm sorry, Henry. You know how angry I am like this" said Fira.

"I understand being in your position. Already, yes, calm yourself. Zayn is the same as me, it takes time to accept. Zayn's just still unstable, so his emotions aren't stable" Henry said.

Fira then turned to Intan and Lee Hyun Joong. He felt bad for his future father-in-law. "Papi and Mami, forgive Fira."

"It's okay, Fira. Mami and Papi have also faced a fight of three children" said Intan.

Fatih held Zema. While Ratih held Alira. Fira slowly stood up and walked towards the sofa. Lefia was quick to embrace Fira to sit on the sofa. Ressa rushed to the kitchen. Fatih and Ratih let Henry and Intan sit on the sofa. Intan put her husband's wheelchair on the couch.

"As parents should gradually counsel the child from heart to heart. It looks like Zayn still has an inner wound in the past" Intan said.

"Yes, it seems so, Mam," said Fira.

"Children like Zayn need to be guided. Even if it's not instant. Need process. It seems that Zayn still has a memory of your problems with Kirsandi first. Or Zayn thinks Alira and Sabrina once disturbed the peace of your family first," explained Ratih.

"Oh Allah, how should Fira go, ma'am?" lamented Fira.

"You stay patient. Give them fair attention and affection. Pray for Zayn so that his heart can accept Alira as his sister" said Ratih.

"I'm not good with Henry" said Fira.

"That's okay, don't be okay with me. I'll understand the home life later" Henry said.

Ressa came with a few glasses of syrupy water. He put the syrup on the table. With courtesy, Fira's third sister invited her guests to drink syrup water. Henry, Intan and Lee Hyun Joong greeted Ressa kindly.

***

The time of Ashar has come. Fatih invited Henry to Ashar prayers at the mosque around the housing estate. Henry also took his papa while pushing a wheelchair. Fatih handed Zema to Lefia. Then Lefia invites Zema and Alira to play in a small garden right behind the house.

Ratih invited Intan Ashar prayers at a small mosque in this house. But Intan signals that Ratih first in the mushola. Intan sees Fira sitting on the sofa. Near him, his son-in-law, he sat beside Fira. Intan embraces Fira. To ease the burden of Fira.

"Fira doesn't pray?" ask Intan.

"Salat, Mam," replied Fira.

"Patient, yes, son. So a mother is heavy, but if done with sincerity, God willing, the reward obtained."

Fira nodded. "Yes, Mum."

"Maybe now they're troublesome. But, God willing, if they are adults, will help us when we are old. So teach the children well."

"Goddess, Mam. What was it that Fira thought after seeing this, Henry changed his mind?"

"No, Henry accepted Fira as sincerely as he did. Mami had given Henry a description of the real household. Not only beautiful, but also the trials and tribulations. Mami also advises Henry that Fira also had a bitter past. Henry wants to make Fira and the kids happy" explains Intan.

Fira sat straight in front of her future mother-in-law. "Mommy, what's it like to be the wife of a successful entrepreneur? What are the many temptations and trials? How did Mami and Papi survive the wedding?"

"Mami used to go through a period of bitters and acids like Papi. Until Papi succeeds, Mami is happy. There are many temptations and trials. If Papi is he has a principle, if his success from the prayer of the wife of shalihah like Mami. Love between us because of God. Married for worship. That's all."

"Soalah as far as Fira knows, men if it is successful must be a lot of temptations and tests. Sorry, Mom, Fira so remember the previous household. Yeah, hopefully, it won't happen again in the future."

"God willing, if Henry has Mami back good guidance. Actually Mami also wants to tell you a secret of Henry's past that you don't know. It's precisely Henry has more deep trauma than you."

Fira gasped at Intan's statement. Successful and intelligent men like Henry have secrets that traumatize him. Intan sighed for a moment before explaining about Henry's past secret. These two women looked at each other seriously. Fira can't wait to hear Intan's story.

"When Henry was first grade in High School, Henry had many friends. You know, Henry's a simple man, don't want to show he's a rich kid. But, with so many friends, he became trapped in the vile life of the mafia," Intan explained.

"meaning?" Fira frowned.

"Actually the problem is between Father A and Father B. Well, the A and the B are friends with the school Henry," continued Intan.

"Hardi and Tommy's friends, huh, Mam?"

"Oh, no. Hardi and Tommy are Henry's best friends."

"Keep, how else?"

"Reverse to the problem of Father A and Father B, yes. So this second father has an endless grudge. Henry's father once rebuked Henry not to be friends with the two children. But Henry didn't believe it. Even Papi and Henry become hostile," added Intan.

"For Henry chose to be friends with these two friends. Papi kicked Henry out of the house. Papi already knows that A and B are mafia sons. Danger, right, if that is so? Henry chose to live independently since High School. Some of Mami helped Henry without Papi's knowledge."

"What's deep Trauma, Mam?"

"The deep trauma was when Henry was in the red circle. That is, Henry and his friends were held captive by his father A for a week. Just to watch B torture in front of Henry and his friends. Finally, B died. Since the tragic incident, Henry has been traumatized by a major problem. If the problem is small, he can face. However, if it's a big deal, he can run away from reality or lock himself up in the room."

Fira then covered her mouth with her palm. "Innalilahi wa innailaihi roji'un!"

"But Henry told Mami. Ever since Henry knew you. Who used to be called Fira. Henry seemed to find a bright spot in his life. He said Fira was good at motivating others in youth-motivation groups. You both have trauma. What about Fira?"

"If Fira-alhamdulilah has recovered from the trauma. Ever since Fira has made love to Henry in the past" said Fira.

"Alhamdulillah. Actually, Henry has been to a psychologist and followed a study to reduce his trauma. Yes, maybe by loving Fira, the trauma can also be reduced. Mami hopes Fira continues to accompany Henry."

"I didn't expect Henry to have the trauma of having a big problem. Is this what you call a self-reflective soul mate?" Fira nodded while touching her chest that was pounding.
