A sunny morning, bang Zamy was on as usual. In the corridor of the hospital to his study, he met with doctor Zein who immediately held his right shoulder.
"Zam, do you feel there's anything odd about Doctor Jo?" Doctor Zein opened the conversation.
"What's so awkward about Doc?" Bang Zamy smiled kindly asking back to Doctor Zein.
"Many doubt Doctor Jo's appointment letter, it looks like it's full of games." Doctor Zein, his best friend at the hospital, whispered in his ear.
"Let's go, may all the speeches come true...." Bang Zamy wasn't so enthusiastic about discussing Doctor Jo's problem. He obeyed just like the wishes of the manager and the ruler.
"You're supposed to be Zam, you're much more competent in everything, that's the view of our peers and probably almost all of the workers at this hospital." Doctor Zein seems to be sorry. His tone saved disappointment.
"Here you go, don't bother with that. Work with your heart, under the leadership of anyone, as long as you optimize your abilities, everything will be better. I'm in ya." Bang Zamy spoke towards the Deputy Director's room, replacing him who patted Doctor Zein's right shoulder who was only able to mutter inwardly.
"Indeed he'd rather lead a hospital this big than maniac s€ks like Doctor Jo...." Doctor Zein passed.

"Tok tok....!" Bang Zamy took off the phone in his hand. Secretary in.
"Why Ri?" He asked Riri who had been his secretary for almost a month to replace Lidya's mother who was on leave.
"Father is called to the Upper Room, we have Alwi sir." Riri informs.
"Who told you?" Bang Zamy asked in passing.
"The HR head just called Doc." Riri smiled kindly answering.
"Thank you Ri, I'll be there soon." Bang Zamy thought for a moment. Wasn't what he heard after publishing the letter of the executor of the task, mr. Alwi went to Jakarta to meet Mr. Erick Tohir directly to discuss the problems of hospital management who had transferred ownership of shares in the hospital managed by PT. Tin, tbk to holding BUMN hospital, PT Pertamina Bina Medika IHC/Pertamedika IHC.
Bang Zamy headed for the Upper Room that his secretary meant. Wearing only a short shirt and long Navi-colored Chinos pants, he got to the room in three minutes. He knocked on the door, someone opened it from the inside.
"Assynolt...." Bang Zamy salooned and nodded with a friendly smile to the long-bearded Alwi sir sitting on one of the meeting chairs. Next to Mr. Alwi appeared two people who were no strangers to him. Mr. Sukirta and Zulkarnain, they are part of the 'red army'. One of the two determinants of the vote in the decision of important hospital meetings.
"Waalaikumsalam, sit Doc." Mr. Alwi invited bang Zamy to sit on the chair opposite to him. Two people near the exit, the three of them stayed in the room.
"How's Doc doing?" Mr. Sukirta was making small talk.
"Good sir alhamdulillah. What did I get called here....?" Bang Zamy sat steadily staring at the eyes of the three in turn. He didn't particularly like to talk to the officials on it.
"Anu, we know now our hospital is in the spotlight. It means that our hospital is currently in a bad condition." Mr. Alwi spoke while opening a small black agenda book in front of him. He shifted his phone that was previously on the agenda book. Bang Zamy silently listened without interrupting. His smart face looks so calm waiting for Mr. Alwi to speak.
"And yesterday I met directly with the envoy of Mr. Erick Tohir on this matter and concluded that the decision to elect the President Director was returned to the Internal Board, including the Board of Commissioners, Board of Directors and Medical Board." Mr. Alwi is still talking seriously, his hand twitching on the table offsetting his speech. While bang Zamy, not even a little interjected.
"Doctors may be surprised why PLt. He's not Zamy sir, is he?" Mr. Alwi smiled kindly. Bang Zamy smiled in response slowly.
"Slightly surprised sir usually there is at least a little confirmation to me...."
"Well, look Doc, to be honest, our quality of totality supports you. But before the discourse of the change of President to you, some lines have first confronted us. They instead proposed Doctor Jo who replaced the position of President. Well apparently, this is only known to us, now the Auditor is aiming at anyone who also receives the flow of funds for the development of the building. And not only that, the procurement of health equipment last year was also problematic. It is administratively correct, but after the tender comes out there is a payment for the transaction settlement of promises before the winner is announced."
"I mean sir?"
"We deliberately made Plt. He said Mr. Jo first, that's so we can also clean up the board of directors, the board of trustees, the development board and the medical board itself."
"I'm not really ambitious sir. If entrusted to me I will also not refuse, insyaAllah works according to tupoksi and optimizes efforts for the good of this hospital. Be ready to take responsibility. If the trust is to Doctor Jo, I am fine, as a representative, ready to accompany running programs that have been discourse when providing assistance to contract employees."
"Hahaha, I've heard that too. It's kind of funny, but let it be, they're trying to get ahead, we're just trying to survive." Mr. Alwi leaned against the chair while confirming the coffee.
"The bottom line at the meeting later we will deliberately see their partisanship. Because those who are suspected of receiving illicit funds are many, not a two-man. The problematic ones will definitely side with Doctor Jo, because each one wants to be protected because they know that Doctor Zamy is unlikely to want to hide their mistakes." Mr. Alwi is further and further speaking. Bang Zamy again could only remain silent, listening seriously word for word.
*****
Almost an hour later, Doctor Jo came in after four times knocking on the door.
"Please Doctor Jo, how are you? The three red squad members welcomed kindly."
"Healthy sir thank God, thank you in advance for entrusting me even though the new executor of the task." Doctor Jo stared at the friendly smiling Zamy bang. While the combination of eyes and mouth and facial features of Doctor Jo looks so confident and like a deliberate bragging in front of Bang Zamy.
"Hehe...." Only that was heard coming out of the mouth of Mr. Alwi followed by his two colleagues. The rest is just plain stale bases without the slightest mention of the problem of the change of the new President. Until they disbanded, there was no mention of Mr. Alwi to mention the matter of the President Director, they deliberately diverted the conversation when Doctor Jo re-positioned herself to be the person most deserving of the position of President Director.

On Sunday night, the long-awaited time of Bang Fathur arrived as well. Mother and father had come to Pangkalpinang from Mentok since Friday afternoon, they came to make an official application. I have prepared all the necessities. A set of beautiful bed linen is made like a duck and its children. White towels are made like rabbits. A pair of shoes, a pair of sandals, an umbrella, a long cloth, a set of makeup supplies were all prepared, I asked to make the delivery with a paid officer in the hospital. Not to forget I also ordered 2 fruit parcels and 2 beautiful baskets of various wet cakes. I don't know who I'm preparing this for. Bang Fathur feels like an older brother to me, but Nindya is my half-brother. So because both of them are my closest people, I was so eager to prepare all the needs.
"Oh yeah, let's go if you want to go." Bang Fathur answered. He took a shower this afternoon. Like a bachelor girl's wedding, bang Fathur seems so excited.
"This is the last yes Thur.., after that there is no divorce and another marriage." Mothers mewanti-wanti. He had no problem at all when bang Fathur wanted Nindya as his wife. For mothers, Madam Nindya is like me, the war is also very similar if they both get to school until further.
"God willing, ma'am." Bang Fathur showed his right thumb to a smiling mother shaking her head. Bang Zamy and dad put all the deliveries in the car. Me, Yuk Mairoh and husband, Uwak Rangga, my mother's brother and his wife also joined. Bang Rahman did not participate because there were activities with his employees.
We went to Nindya's house which was not too far from my house. Ten minutes later we arrived, each of us holding a delivery basket. We were greeted by papa, Aunt Mira, some middle-aged women and male neighbors of the house, a friend of my father whom I did not know. The living room sofa is removed and replaced with a clean and fragrant red carpet. As soon as I came I went straight to the family room serving a variety of fruit and wet cakes to be served. On the street I was like a guest-behaving to be a family party bang Fathut, but when I got to host. Finished serving fruit and cake I went into the room mbak Nindya who seemed very nervous. Ever since Isya said she had urinated ten times. I laughed heard it.
"Dek, how will people respond, pity the same Fathur bang, he married me who is all deficient. Moreover, in terms of education, I only graduated from Junior High because I did not finish until graduating from High School." Nindya is still worried.
"Whose desire to marry?"
"That's the Fathur, even refused many times, eh he still insistent and even proposed directly to father."
"Well then there's no problem anymore. Ma'am is married to bang Fathur not by anyone's response." I cheered.
"Dek, how did Fathur's mother respond? I feel so ashamed." Madam Nindya spoke again in a soft and careful voice. She was wearing an old Riyani-color ping robe with her long headscarf. I don't know who's been dressing her up, but looking at her like I'm looking in the mirror. She's so pretty. I praised him many times.
"Mother was very nice."
"He accepts me or doesn't deck?"
"Definitely dong you're welcome in his family's mother."
"Ah right deck?"
"Yes." Yeah."
While we were in the room, suddenly a mother came and immediately took Nindya out.
"Nindy let's get out" he said later, then I followed behind.
"So.., the purpose of our arrival here, Mr. Ram, is none other than and not, hoping we can connect the family rope even tighter. Representing my eldest son, our one-soned widower proposes to your daughter to be able to accompany Fatur across the household ark until death separates." Papa spoke very confidently. He performed after about ten minutes of mingling, speaking stale with some of the citizens who were also present invited Papa.
"Thank you for the goodwill of Mr. Rey's family to one of my citizens. Now we all want to hear the answer from Mr. Ram as Nindya's parents. Please Mr. Ram." Mr. RT as the tongue connector of this application event, talking with a fluffy smile.
"Eehhmmm like this, Mr. Rey, you proposed to me what proposed to my daughter earlier?" Papa started fishing. Some people started smiling.
"Owh then, in order to avoid misunderstanding, we repeat the proposal by the concerned only Mr. Ram." Dad was like deliberately teasing a surprised Fathur bang. The agreement at home that proposes is father, why can it change? Although a lecturer, bang Fathur momentarily misbehaved to hear it.
"Agreed, agreed, agreed. Big time still ask to be disguised father?" A citizen chimed in. Inevitably, bang Fathur had to open his voice.
"Alright, assalamualaikumwarahmatullah...." Bang Fathur sat up more upright. He took a deep breath once more while the whole room answered his greetings.
"Look at Ram.., I've thought carefully, discussed with family and diridhoi by both parents, intended to propose a daughter om Ram named Nindya to be my wife." Bang Fathur smoothly spoke. I saw mother pinching Yuk Mairoh's thigh while whispering seeing her expression bang Fathur. I don't know what you whispered.
"Well this is clear, Mr. Rey...." Papa answered who was immediately laughed at by everyone present.
"Well, the answer is, sir? Don't make a young man's heart beat impatiently...." Mr. RT continued after the noise had stopped.
"Listen pack eRTe, Mr. Rey, Ms. Nia and all. I am old, I love to eat cork fish, Fathur happens to love fishing cork. So I thought, it would be nice to have a boy who likes to fish...." Papa deliberately narrated.
"So it's accepted this isn't his proposal?" RT asked again.
"Certainly accepted...." Papa replied.
"Alhamdulilbornabbil'alamiin...." Mom and Dad are grateful. Bang Fathur seemed so happy.
"Is there a ring?" Mr. RT reminded. Bang Fathur who just shook his head.
"Let's just pack for the wedding." Bang Fathur immediately replied and could be understood by RT sir.
*****
Just like the application process for bang Fathur and mbak Nindya. Plus a little old stale base, finally agreed the marriage will take place in three months. Either I give birth first or they get married first. What is certain is that the way of seriousness bang Fathur really has been proven. He loves Nindya and has been proven with a proposal. It is only a matter of time, happiness awaits both.
