A UNITY THAT CANNOT BE UNITED

SENTIENCE LIMITED TO AFFECTIONISM

Isaac really did not expect if one seemed to have to face the siege of five women who seemed not to give him a gap to just infiltrate and escape. He is not used to dealing with real women.

"What is this?" isaac asked nervously and his face let out a cold sweat.

Siska leaned close to Isaac and squinted, making the young man even more clumsy.

"Sak Siska.." rebuked Isaac.

"What is your relationship with Selina?" search Siska.

Isaac exhaled and smiled awkwardly. "Nothing. We're friends." lt's the young man. "Is something wrong?"

"Of course, Isaac." said Lystri. "It's very suspicious."

"Selina's attitude towards you, it's not like the attitude of a friend to his best friend, but rather the attitude of a woman to her lover." Intan said.

Isaac shook his head. "But the swears. That familiarity looks more like a brother and sister, doesn't it?" he returned to self-defense.

"Huh.. karena very lying." said Siska.

Isaac could hardly escape. Fortunately, Faisal appeared and rebuked the women.

"What the fuck? How come my friend is surrounded like this?" faisal shouted in a fierce voice. The five women were shocked and immediately retreated.

"My friends have a problem what are the five brothers?" probing Faisal furrowed his brows, but did not demand an answer. Instead, he looked at Isaac. "You want to skip, huh? Wanted by Mr. Najamudin! I've been told to yell at you." Faisal's angry.

"Come to class!" exclaim that young man.

Isaac was truly helped by the charade that Faisal had so convincingly performed. The young man caught up with Faisal who stepped in first leaving the herd of women who were upset because their investigation was interrupted.

"Thank you, Fais." said Isaac sincerely.

Faisal stopped his steps and turned to look at Isaac. "What's the matter with them? I think they're curious about you."

"Let me tell you somewhere else" Isaac said.

"Today too" Faisal said.

Isaac nodded. "Today too, tonight."

...*****...

Selina sat hugging a pillow. He still muntab with the decision of both parents who grant the appeal of the sermon despite the tough request a week from Selina to Azkiya into other considerations. But the girl was sure that they would trust Isaac more than her beloved Aldi during their five years of love.

There was a knock at the door. Looks like one of them is going to talk to Selina again. The girl decided to shut up.

"Seli. Time to eat, son. Come out." ask her mother.

Selina remained unmoved in her bed. The door opened and the mother entered. He then stepped up and sat down on the side of the bed.

"When do you want this to happen to Selina?" asked his mother in a slightly complaining tone.

Selina glanced at her mother, then looked back to the front. The mother sighed and then lowered her head. "Personal mother thinks of nothing but your happiness. You are our only child. That's why your papa's as good as you are."

"But not by selling me to those people, Mama" Selina flatly said.

His mother raised her face to look at her daughter. "You think we sold you? You're right in your accusation to us, son."

"Ma, then what's the comparable term to that? Is it because Isaac is protected by those people, and Papa is also their working relationship?" hatch Selina. "Try putting yourself in my position!"

The parobaya woman took a breath and nodded. "Yes... Mama understands how you feel... Mama also experienced it."

Selina furrowed her brows. "Experiencing how?"

"Do you think your presence is a fruit rather than a love?" lure the woman.

Selina surprised. "I mean Mama? You two got betrothed?"

The woman nodded with a withered smile. Selina sighed as well while glaring. His eyes are getting wet. The woman stretched out her fingers sweeping through Selina's shoulders gently.

"Selina, you may insist on defending Aldi. But, Isaac.your underclassman was the one who first came to ask you." said the woman trying to give understanding to her daughter. "You know, you asked for a week-long suspension through Mrs Azkiya, just to hope that Aldi would quickly propose to you during the suspension. But did you know that it violates our ethical and religious beliefs? Aren't you a santri who's been given an understanding for that, aren't you?"

Selina was silent at the words. There's nothing wrong. Only his heart did not accept. Mother sighs.

"Your father granted the proposal of the people of Buana Asparaga, not just for business purposes. But also for your benefit in the future. Rest assured of your father's decision, Selina. If you have any doubts, whatever kindness we display will still look ugly in your eyes." said the woman then got up and stepped away leaving Selina alone.

Selina snorted angrily and then looked at her dress. He grabbed it and searched Aldi's number and contacted him. Shortly thereafter, a voice sounded.

📲 "Hi, Selina." greet Aldi first.

📲 "Hi Brother. There's time, isn't there?" ask Selina.

📲 "Why Selina?" tanya Aldi furrowed his brows.

📲 "Sister can pick me up? I'm bored at home." Selina said sulkingly.

Sounded for a moment****** long breath.

📲 "Sorry, Selina... Tonight, I can't." Aldi said in a sorry tone.

Selina immediately looked grim on her face, but then tried to remove it. The girl smiled stiffly. A forced smile.

📲 "Yes, sister." Selina said in a soft tone. "I'll rest first. Daaahhh." he said he broke off the mobile conversation and then threw the device to the side of the pillow. With a snatch, the girl lay down trying to sleep.

...******...

Aldi put the device down and looked at the woman by his side. "I'm sorry, there's a little distraction" she said then stroked the woman's hair.

"Your boyfriend, is he?" asked Natasha who was still smiling enjoying the caress on her hair. Aldi nodded slowly.

"But I refused before" said Aldi. "Tonight, I just want to keep you company. You're still in Marisa. This moment won't be there every time, you know."

Natasha laughed for a moment then looked at Aldi. "Then, where are we going tonight? The romantic atmosphere would certainly be more I want right now."

"What if I rented one of the rooms at Marina Beach Resort last night?" mole Aldi. "Everyone enjoys the beautiful view there."

Natasha instantly widened her eyes, smiled and nodded. Aldi stood up and stretched out his hand and grabbed the woman. The two of them then walked out of the room.

...*****...

Selina's solitude was again disturbed when the door was knocked for a moment and then turned off. His mother appeared and hurriedly arrived at the side of the bed. Selina woke up with a fad.

"What the hell else, Mam?" asked Selina lazily.

"Ishak is coming." said the woman shaking the girl's heart. He's surprised.

"What Ma? Isaac show up here?" selina exclaimed in shock.

The woman nodded. "Come with the other young man. Now the two are talking to your father."

Selina tightened her jaw. Mother poke. "Papa told you to meet him."

"Eh, it's not so good." his mother scolded. "Let's go downstairs, make the proper arrangements and meet the boy."

"Lazy, Maaa.." - Selina reluctantly sulks.

The woman only glared at her eyes for a moment then turned and left Selina. Exasperated, the girl got off the bed and stepped closer to the closet thinking what way to repel the hated young man.

...******...

Faisal was really unexpected after listening to Isaac's conversation with the parobaya man. More shocked when he found out that Isaac had proposed to his own elder brother. Both marriages count days.

"I asked Oom for permission, so that I could take Selina for a walk in order to explore each other's feelings" Isaac said.

"Oooo.. please, please son Isaac." said Candra approvingly. "Oom believes in the Son. Please take care of Selina, will you?" the message.

"Surely, Oom." Isaac said with a flat smile.

Candra nodded. Shortly after, a woman appeared. Faisal looked up and immediately exclaimed.

"It's true!!!!" he was shocked to almost fall from the chair.

Candra turned her head and joined the bar, while Isaac just gawked at the girl's appearance. Selina deliberately wore pajamas with a face thickened with powder plus a decoration similar to a harlequin pattern.

"Son! What are you doing again?!" sergeant Candra was furiously mixed with shame.

Isaac laughed and got up. "So..is this Selina's sister?" he approached and laughed again, then looked at his future wife's face and laughed again.

"I'm sorry, son Isaac." said Candra with great embarrassment.

"No. No Oom.." he then laughed. "Sister Selina, it fits with the makeup. Where'd you like to show?"

"Damn it!" grouse Selina.

At first, he deliberately made such an appearance to make Isaac angry and consider himself inappropriate. What happens is the opposite. Isaac was more amused. The young man took the device and photographed it.

Candra rise. "Yes, it's Isaac's son. Oom back then huh? Please play with this clown." said the man then left the room quickly, so embarrassed by his daughter's behavior.

Selina waited for her father to leave and the girl sat down again in her father's former seat. "What are you going to do here?"

"She wants to take you for a walk" replied Isaac.

"No." declined Selina. "I want to sleep."

"No." Isaac said flatly and coldly again. "Now Brother change clothes and come with me."

Selina glanced cynically at Isaac. Faisal himself was only silent and awkward, but did not want to interfere in the affairs of the two brides-to-be.

"If I don't change clothes, what do you want?!" challenge Selina.

Isaac finally took a deep breath and nodded. "alright. Stay with that appearance. As long as Brother comes with me." he relented.

Selina could gawk at the young man's words. He did not expect all his plans to be immediately destroyed with the attitude of succumbing to the young man. But Selina remained on her feet. He nodded.

"Let's!" his challenge.

Isaac sighed again and then nodded and got up. Faisal himself had already fancied ahead of time. Isaac extended his hand to Selina, but she brushed him off.

Once again, Isaac sighed and relented while Selina frowned, feeling like she had won a match. Both arrive in front.

"Bro, I'll just go home, okay?" pinta Faisal with clear mimic. "I don't like being a mosquito repellent."

"No." reject Isaac. "Ente stay with us. We'll pick up Ichi. It just so happens that he's at his house, because every Taekwondo training schedule, he'll ask for permission to take a vacation at his house."

Faisal could no longer deny and refute. He had to nod in lethargy. Selina stared at the street.

"What are we riding?" ask Selina.

Faisal ran straight to the road and Selina saw a vehicle. Selina pointed at the vehicle. "We're riding in that vehicle?" ask the girl.

Isaac nodded. "Yes. I rented the vehicle for two whole days."

"We're going for a walk for two days?" selina said with a cloudy face. Isaac shook his head and smiled flatly.

"No, just last night." replied Isaac quietly and took Selina to the street and boarded the vehicle. Faisal was the driver.

The vehicle drove down the Trans Two Way road to the south. Isaac touched Faisal's shoulder.

"We go into the hall." Isaac commanded.

"Ooo... Find a shortcut, huh?" faisal hatch.

"No. to Ichi's house. Didn't I tell you?" isaac answered with annoyance. "Well, if you've memorized this path, I don't need to be a delivery boy anymore, do I?"

Faisal laughed and turned the vehicle into that passageway. They walked down the densely populated alley and continued down the paved road as Isaac commanded.

The vehicle stopped at a moss-green painted residence. Isaac looked at Faisal and Selina. "Wait here. I'm going to pick up Ichi." he said and walked out.

The man stepped into the residence and knocked on the door of the house. Soon after, Ichi appeared wearing fashionable casual clothes. The two then stepped onto the road and got into the car.

"Nyokap again join the family gathering in Botubilotahu." said Ichi. "He's home, probably at ten. We still have three hours from now."

The vehicle again rolled away from the residence, along the asphalt road that penetrated into another Trans road known as Hulude Banggu.

Faisal controlled the vehicle as it crossed the Hulude Banggu area to climb the bridge and take them to the central market complex. The vehicle again drove south with the goal of Tree of Love Beach.

They arrived later and parked the vehicles and then one by one went down. Selina's tacky appearance came to the attention of visitors. They even documented Selena's appearance.

Isaac only sighed because he held the shame of Selina's behavior and Ichi painstakingly held back the laughter. Selina simply smiled at Ichi and stared cynically at the always looming Isaac.

"Why? Shame huh?" selina Todong.

"It's over." he said then looked at Ichi. "Sir. Order the menu already." the question is.

"Siiip.." said Ichi. "What message did Selina have?" ask the girl.

Selina ordered her favorite food and drinks. Faisal is too.

"I am the one who deals." said Isaac.

"Hm..songong.." sneered Selina.

Isaac was really offended by the ridicule. But as much as possible to arrest him. His hands were clenched and his face reddened. The young man glared so as not to be provoked by emotions while staring at Selina.

Ichi chose to go quickly across the street and order the menu. Faisal could only sigh and then smile.

"It is good that you are angry" Faisal commented. "God willing will be more friendly."

Isaac looked at the young man cynically while Faisal laughed. But the young man's laughter suddenly vanished when he saw someone he knew sitting a few blocks from their seat.

"Natasha.." said Faisal unknowingly. []
