Unconditional Love

Sabila

I'm busy with some make up brushes which will make up my face as naturally as possible. I grabbed my compact powder and started to apply it evenly on my face, then I reached for a soft pink lip cream which will emphasize my tiny lips which do look cute when wearing soft lip cream.

Meanwhile outside the room, several people were busy arranging buffet dishes for my family's special guest who had just arrived from Jakarta. The special guest was Mr. Abdi Permana's extended family. In short, Mr. Abdi was my father's best friend since they were one year old. The two of them are still on good terms despite the distance separating the two of them, Pak Abdi's family has moved to Jakarta since fifteen years ago. Meanwhile my father still lives in his hometown, Yogyakarta. Mr. Abdi's family just arrived two days ago in Jogja, he came with his wife, son and daughter-in-law named Laras.

Laras is the first daughter in-law of the Permana family, she is married to the Permana family's eldest son, his name Rahman Permana. They just got married one year ago, but until right now they have not been blessed with a child. Meanwhile, the youngest son of the Permana family, Tommy Permana, will be matched with me. Tommy and I have known each other three months ago through our respective parents. At that time my father was on a video call with Mr. Abdi, then they both introduced their children to each other. And since the brief meeting on the video call, an hour later I received a message from an unknown number and none other than Mas Tommy.

From there we met and tonight Tommy's parents came to hold a proposal ceremony between Tommy and me. Currently, my feelings for Tommy are absolutely nothing special and we have never had a relationship like lovers. But somehow this matchmaking started, but what is clear is that I know very well that the decision that my father took to match me with Tommy was the right step.How could I not, I am the only daughter in this family. I don't have brothers or sisters, so my father doesn't want his only daughter to fall into the wrong hands. My father can be sure that I will pair with Tommy because his really know how his best friend is in educating children.

By saying bismillah, I intend all of this for worship and also my devotion to my parents who have taken care of me from childhood until now. I heard from behind the door of my room, it looks like Tommy's family has arrived. Shortly thereafter I heard my door knocked by my household assistant named Auntie Sari.

"Sabil, the guest has arrived, You don't want to go out of your room?". Said Auntie Sari.

I said. "Yes, auntie, wait a minute."

I immediately stood in front of the mirror to make sure I didn't get the wrong costume. After my appearance felt safe, I immediately rushed out of the room to meet my parents in the living room.

"Well, this is the one you've been waiting for a long time". Said Mr. Abdi.

I smiled too. "Yes sir, sorry for waited me a long time."

"It's okay no problem, after all we also just arrived. Oh my god, you are always getting more beautiful, Sabila." Exclaimed the Tommy mother.

"...". I am shy and not said anything.

"Sabil how are you?". Asked Tommy.

"I'm fine, thanks. And you?"

"I'm also kind, in fact I'm very happy because I want to be matched with a beautiful angel chosen by my parents". Tommy muttered.

Tommy's words also brought laughter to everyone who heard them. Meanwhile I tried to hide the blush on my cheeks so that no one else would know. Tonight's program also feels very warm because the conclusion of the meeting of the two families is to discuss my wedding with Tommy, which will be held next month. I don't know how to express this, because actually I really don't have any feelings for Tommy. But no matter, I will marry him soon, so I must be able to open my heart and learn to love my future husband.

<i>#Back to the future.</i>

<i># 1 years later</i>

<i>

A month later. (Prologue continuation)</i>

<i>You won't understand what it feels like to be me, who has to spend a lot of time in bed. Can not carry out my duties as a wife and now my husband must take my role in managing the house. Really I can't stay in this condition for long, I want to recover, I want to be the perfect wife who can take care of my husband.</i>

Suddenly Sabila's daydreams shattered when her husband came to see her in the room.

"Honey, let's eat first. Earlier I made porridge for you. I mash all of these ingredients so you don't have to worry about not being able to chew them, right from yesterday you ate juiced fruits, now you can eat heavy. That's why I made the porridge for you". Said Tommy, who immediately put the tray of food on the table.

Sabila's heart was very sliced, how could she not. She must see that her husband who is inexperienced in cooking should be able to do everything for her. Sabila's tears rolled down her cheeks, she really wanted to be healed.

"Sabil, why are you crying? Don't you cry, I'm sad." Said Tommy

But Sabila's tears kept coming out incessantly. "Already yes honey don't cry anymore, let me guess why you are sad like this. You winked your eyes once if the answer was yes and you blinked your eyes twice if the answer is no, can you?". Tommy muttered.

Sabila blinked once, then Tommy started his question. "You must be touched to see I can cook?". Tommy asked enthusiastically, putting on a grin.

Sabila also blinked her eyes twice. "Why don't you, dear? Then what is it?". Tommy said, thinking again, but Sabila's tears came back.

"How come you're crying again dear". Said Tommy, who immediately wiped Sabila's tears. "You are sad because you see the condition I have to switch roles to care for you, honey?". Tommy asked softly.

Sabila also blinked once which was followed by more and more tears.

"Enough dear. Why should you be sad? I sincerely go through all this, don't you worry, OK?" Said Tommy, who immediately rubbed his wife's head and kissed her forehead.

"Listen to me dear, my love is unconditional. I love you with all my heart and soul, I never mind how your condition is? The most important thing for me is that you get well, dear".

Sabila also blinked her eyes once again, she was truly grateful because her husband was so responsible for her. Sabila doesn't know what will happen anymore if she doesn't have a husband like Tommy.

Soon there was a sound of the bell, Tommy immediately rushed to open the door. "Wait a minute, honey, it looks like a guest". Said Tommy, who immediately rushed to the living room.

<i>Assalamualaikum.</i> Said the guests.

"Waalaikumsalam, papa, mama. Hi, Laras when did you return to Indonesia, where is Rahman?". Asked Tommy enthusiastically.

"I just arrived two days ago, Rahman is still busy with his business. The plan is that he will come here in two months, as well as to take care of passports and other documents. So when I heard Sabila was sick, I asked to papa and mama to take me visit Sabila, but I'm sorry I just came here now. Because two days ago I was jetlagged, I couldn't do anything. " Said Laras.

Tommy smiled. "Yes, it's okay sis, no problem. I am happy, you came here to visit Sabila". Tommy muttered.

"How is Sabil's condition Tom? Has there been any development during this month?". Asked the mother.

"Not yet mam, just pray for Sabila's recovery. Okay, let's go in, Sabil is in the room". Said Tommy, who immediately invited his family to meet Sabil.

Sabila also heard someone's voice walking towards her room, she recognized their voices. It was her father and mother-in-law, but there was also a woman's voice that seemed familiar to Sabila. It was like the voice of her sister-in-law Laras, but as long as Laras is in America with her husband, Rahman.

Not long after, Tommy opened the bedroom door and announced their arrival. "Honey, let's see who comes? There are mama, papa and Laras. Laras only arrived two days ago and now she's here to visit you". Said Tommy.

"Hi Sabila, how are you? I'm sorry about what is happening to you, I wish you a speedy recovery." Laras said, kissing Sabila on both cheeks.

"Sabila, don't forget to take the medicine. I'm sure you'll be cured". Murmured the mother-in-law while stroking Sabila's hand.

This time, Sabila's happiness was complete, besides she has a husband who is super patient and always cares for her. She also has a mother-in-law who also loves her very much, Sabila never stops giving thanks in her heart.

"It's really poor Tommy, you have to take care of the undead like this. Why not just die altogether, instead of living but instead causing trouble for many rich people like this." Laras muttered to herself.
