Charm Duda Ganteng But Jutek
Chapter 13
Amara went home to her father. For a moment he thought about his meeting tomorrow with Febri whose status was married, again.
In the past, Amara was heartbroken when she found out Febri was married to a nurse who turned out they were betrothed by parents. Amara thinks Febri and his first wife are not okay. But apparently, he found out if his wife was pregnant. Unfortunately, good luck has not been on the good side of the couple.
Febri had to lose his wife and future children due to the covid outbreak that attacked ferociously at the beginning.
Amara thinks he will get a chance to get close to Febri. But still he still considers himself nothing more than a co-worker. Though Amara had dropped her pride to express her feelings since they were both at the lowest level first.
Since his first wife died, Amara never heard that Febri was close to women. Until finally, he heard even saw for himself if his heart fell back on the former who is now his rightful wife.
Heartbreak in the same person, painful! But he himself wanted that pain of his heart. Febri has often said that he and Febri are friends enough!
"Bengong!", reprimand her papi Amara.
"Neither pap!"
"Oh yeah? Papi can't believe you know Alby!"
"Gga deliberately knew Pi, he wanted to be in begal aja keep Amara help. That's aja!"
"But..he's handsome?", asked his papa Amara.
"Hey, you handsome guy is Pap!"
"Aren't you interested in Alby?"
"This guy doesn't have to be weird!"
"But..he's a devout Muslim huh?", asked papi while looking at his daughter.
"Maybe! Why?", asked Amara.
Rahardi smiled.
"You may even memorize the same readings and sayings that are in their beliefs, compared to your own! Lastly, when do you worship?"
Amara sighed. Papa's right!
"Will papi forbid me again if one day he chooses a man who does not believe in us?"
"You want to follow in the footsteps of your brothers?", asked the papi. Yes, both Amara's older brothers did choose to move faith following his wife.
"Mara doesn't know. But now, Mara had not thought about that. No man has yet made Mara a candidate."
"Boy would never know about it. But the one who forced from you, you sent a papi to replace the position of papi."
Again Amara was only able to sigh. Bored! That's what he feels when talking about his papi company.

After making peace with Marsha, I went home first to meet with Nabil. I went to the office while Nabil was still sleeping, I missed my Nabil.
"Assalamualaikum!", I greet the house person who seems to be in the back.
Justright. Mak, tea Mila, Nabil, and women dressed in babysitter uniforms even Mang Sapto were on the back porch.
"Assynnya!"
"Halaikumsalam!", answered them all. Nabil who had taken a bath seemed so carefree to see my presence.
"Jang, has the tumben gone home?", asked Mak.
"Yes mak. Later there will be a course whether college too!", I replied while holding Nabil.
"Oh yes jang, know this Ani tea. Take care of Nabil!", said Mak introducing Ani tea. I estimate his age is not much different from Mila tea.
"Good afternoon sir!", said Ani's tea.
"Don't call sir. Call sir or what, not sir!", I said. I couldn't have asked her to call my name like Mak and Mila tea to me. We don't need that familiar.
"Good, sir!"
"Teh Ani has a family?", I asked.
"Already Sir. My son is one, being educated in Akmil. My husband is a builder!"
I nodded slowly. Quite moved by his spirit!
"Where does Teh Ani live?"
"I'm not far from here, sir. Same with my husband."
"Already explained with Mak and Mila tea, how does it work?"
"Already sir. After dawn I came here. I came home after Isya", replied Teh Ani.
"Don't mind tea?"
"Ngga sir. In fact, I thank you. You can work like this!"
I'm nodding.
"On the foundation?"
"Already sir. I've been told."
"OK, thanks! You guys just rest. Nabil is just like me. When I leave, I call."
"Jang, Mak wants to cook. What are you asking?", asked Mak.
"Whatever Mak's cooking is, Alby's eating it!"
Mak. After that, I went to my room with Nabil. Let go of longing since a busy morning at the office.
