The Incomplete Love
Friend Forever …

Abby took care of her mother who looked beautiful and radiant. Zee and Aira stood behind Qiara, admiring their timeless Buna beauty.

That day was all happy. Liam and Aira come with Hanna and her family. Hanna who still harbored the guilt of having been a household destroyer Qiara and Thoriq were finally able to breathe a sigh of relief.

Thoriq was looking forward to this day. Wearing a gray suit, he seemed impatient waiting for his woman.

They only invite the closest people. Qiara's brother, Dhanu, came with the family. Also the companions of Qiara, came with the couple. Not to forget Jeremy who came by holding a grandson.

The boys had stood gallantly in matching suits with Thoriq. The plan, Mas Dhanu who will marry Qiara, while Kalandra took her mother in after kabul.

“Buna, we have to get out now.”

Qiara nodded.

“Buna can have their own time?”

Her daughter and daughter-in-law embraced Qiara affectionately before heading out to the wedding boardroom held at one of the Donavy family's hotels.

Devan's extended family was also very supportive of Qiara's marriage. They saw how long Qiara had endured the grief after Devan had gone home.

Not a few hotel employees took the time to give good prayers to Qiara.

The woman dressed in a chantily-coated brocade dress saw the look of her face.

The radiant highlight is gone. Tears rose in the corner of his net.

He opened the hape. Happy photos with Devan are still stored there.

“Dev, why do I feel like I betrayed our love?”

Qiara's wiggly fingers played a hape screen that continued to display her photos with Devan.

“I .. I cannot do this.”

Qiara took off the ring Thoriq gave her, took the jacket and left the hotel.

***

Kala knocked on her mother's room door. Dhanu and an officer who was about to ask for Qiara's signature stood beside her.

“Buna, this is Kala. Can enter?”

Not hearing the answer, Kala grabbed the keycard and stuck it to the black box.

Kala, Dhanu, and the task force found Qiara in the penthouse room.

“Buna ..”

Kala grabbed her father's gift ring lying on the dresser with a note that read:

I just still love him so much, Mas. I’m sorry.

Kala and Dhanu exchanged looks.

***

Thoriq heard the report from his son with a hard-to-read look. Without waiting any longer, he got out of the hotel and took a taxi.

He was not disappointed, let alone angry. Austria he was worried about Qiara. The shadow of the woman he loved so much once again left him far more terrifying.

He directed the driver to the funeral. Without wearing a jacket, Thoriq headed to where Devan was staying.

And there was Qiara, sitting beside Devan's headstone crying.

“Qia ..”

Qiara lifted her face, looking at Thoriq's face which was unusually relieved to find him.

“Sorry Qia, Mas. Qia can't ..”

“Qiara, Mas really don't mind that. If Qia doesn't want to get married, I'll understand. Forever Mas will love Qia even though you are not his wife Mas.”

“Why? Why do you love Qia?”

“I guess, I just can quit you. I can't stop loving you.”

“Then Qia loves Devan?”

“Alau Qia still love Devan,” said Thoriq firmly.

Thoriq sat beside Qiara.

“I'm mad at you, Devan,” he said softly after a moment of silence.

“What?” Qiara looked at Thoriq's face with a questioning look.

“You once promised not to make Qia sad. See now. Your wife's eyes are swollen, her nose is red.”

“Devan promise it's the same Mas?”

“Yup, because he asked me to promise him something.”

Qiara looked at Thoriq with raised eyebrows. Thoriq stared at Devan's name engraved on the gravestone.

“What promise, Mas Thoriq, do not make Qia curious.”

“Qia, Devan asks Mas to promise to take care of you if fate takes it first.”

“Dev ..” Said Qiara, who did not expect her husband to say that to Thoriq.

“Qia, once Mas reneged on our sacred love and promise. This time I don't want to break a promise to take care of you. All this time Mas took care of you through Kala and Liam. But Liam now has a priority and Mas hopes Kala will follow. Abby will be with her husband if she gets married. Triplets are spread across three continents. Zee is too small to take care of you. That is the reason Mas to England so that it can be easier to maintain Qia.”

“Mas, but Qia is not married ..”

“Allow Mas to be a friend and always near you. That's enough. I'll find a way to always take care of Qia. Don't go again, Qia. Mas please.” Thoriq's voice trembled and his eyes began to glaze over. Hurriedly rubbed both netraanya.

Qiara nodded in agreement.

“Mas, sorry Qia.” Pinta Qiara was unable to look at the Netra Thoriq.

“Maybe we are not a match in marriage, but as parents to Kala.”

Behind him Liam came running closer. The man was really worried.

“Kala, Liam ... sit here ..”

Thoriq invited his son and son-in-law to sit on a bench near Devan's grave. Kala helped her mother to stand up.

“Aduh if this, Buna feel old, deh.”

“You look young, Buna ..” Kala suddenly grabbed his mother.

“Buna, sorry Kala for urging Buna to marry Aya. Kala did not want Buna to be sad for a long time, but Kala did not realize that Buna was still very much in love with Daddy.”

Qiara looked up at Kalandra's face. His hand held his son's forehead.

“Tumben comments sane. Are you okay?” Qiara's eyes flashed with humor. Kala is back with the number one woman in his life. He kisses the Bunanya's forehead.

“Buna also do not fear themselves, Kala will always take care of Buna. When it was like dying time could not find Buna in the penthouse and in the entire hotel.”

“Mafin Buna's. At last, Buna can't breath.” Qiara patted her son's back.

“Promise never to run away again.” Kala kept his mother.

“Appointment!”

Kala then kissed her mother again.

“Buna was panicking.”

Liam who listened to Kala and Qiara's conversation also nodded his head in order to understand the mother's feelings.

“The heaviest love is love that cannot have,” he said in a soft, sweeping voice.

“But that's proof of sincerity, when can't have, but keep on keeping without having to go through the restrictions,” he continued to stare at his father's tombstone.

“Buna loves Daddy, but can no longer have. Aya loves Buna but in Buna's heart there is still Daddy. Love is beautiful, but complicated.”

“Thank you, his words are very encouraging, yes ..” Thoriq glanced over while smiling wryly to the Love Guru.

Qiara appears to still be at home in the tomb of her late husband. His head was leaning against the chest of the Kalandra field.

“Daddy must be happy there, because Buna loves it so much and misses it so much,” Liam said as he pondered. Thoriq nudged his son-in-law who instead shifted away.

“No, Daddy definitely does not want Buna to be sad for a long time..” Resist Qiara remembered the records and albums left by her husband.

“But Buna can't be happy without Daddy. It's called catch 22. There will be no chicken if there are no eggs, but eggs are also from where it comes if there is no chicken.”

Kala and Thoriq leaned towards Liam who was considered increasingly upset.

“Buna, in the letter Ali Imran verse 139 there is a prohibition to grieve. “Do not be weak, and do not (also) grieve, for you are the highest (hearts), if you are the believers.”

Qiara gasped at Liam's words which suddenly resuscitated him.

“I didn't ask Buna to marry Aya. I just hope Buna stops being sad. Buna was used to being sad. Six years is a long time to get someone to form a new habit. Buna, turn your attention to the positive.”

“Buna has tried, Liam ..”

“Did Buna succeed? How much in a day does Buna dissolve in sadness?”

Qiara swallows saliva.

“Buna, humans can be strong because they are forced to. Sometimes, kindness has to be forced. Buna remembers teaching me to pray five times. Buna forced me to wake up in the morning blind and then wudhu and pray right?”

“I mean Liam, Buna should force herself to be happy?”

“Yes. Because Buna is so used to being sad. Of these six years, when was the last time Buna felt happy?”

Tears were pouring from the corner of Qiara's eye. Unable to answer Liam's question, the woman bit her lower lip. Declining habits on Abby.

“When, Buna?” Liam embraces Bunanya.

“When to go to Scotland. Buna with Mas Thoriq. But ..”

“Wait, we're not there yet. Why was Buna happy then?”

“Because Buna gets attention, Buna feels protected and not alone. But ..”

“Shortly, Buna, we have not yet reached but ... Quickly reply, Buna. Moreover?”

“Buna has a commensurate interlocutor because there are things that Buna is difficult to talk about with children.”

“Buna dear not the same Aya?”

“Sayang .. “ Qiara closes her lips with both hands. Realizing the real answer comes from the bottom of your heart.

Liam smiled meaningfully as he looked at the lewd Netra Buna he loved. The son continued Qiara wiped away the tears from the corner of her bunny eyes.

“Daddy will never be willing if Buna continues to grieve. Daddy lives for Buna's happiness. Be happy for Daddy. If Buna loves Aya, is comfortable with her, halalkan, because it is not good for two humans who are not mahram to khalwat. Maybe Aya and Buna can refrain from adultery, but what about slander?”

“Buna wants to meet Daddy in heaven later ..”

“Buna Darling, Aira and I have been in the boarding school. There are many opinions about the conditions experienced by Buna. One of the hadiths says a wife who married several times because the husband died or divorced then in heaven she will meet a husband who is the best man as long as they are not divorced in the world. There is another hadith that says in heaven will meet the last husband.”

Liam continued, “But can't a devout wife enter through any heaven's door? Isn't heaven the most beautiful place and we can ask for anything? There is only real happiness, Buna. A wife can enter heaven from any door of heaven as long as she establishes prayers, performs Ramadan fasts, keeps ********, and obeys her husband.”

Everyone listened word for word as it flowed out of Liam's mouth.

“God has prepared a partner for all the inhabitants of heaven. In this world we have to collect a lot of practice as a provision to enter heaven. Marriage is the longest worship. Buna was married to Daddy for more than two decades. No one doubts your purity. Now, Buna has the opportunity to re-open the door of any heaven that Buna wants.”

“Is Qia confident in your decision?”

“In shaa Allah, Mas.”

“Friends forever?”

Qia nodded steadily while smiling.
