"Want a show ya bang?"
"yes. Maryam Aqiqohnya.."
"I can attend...?" Zainal similarly asks but compels.
"Please...! But bakda isyak his show. Are you tired of waiting?"
"No papa bang I'll wait. I have no other show"
Bang Alif nodded his head.It's up to Ani not to be home.

"i am. ih......" Laila beat her husband's arm in a fit of rage. As usual, there is always something to worry about. Family understood. If the two of them are silent to each other, everyone becomes confused as to how. If Lukman and Laila don't talk to each other then one of them is really angry.
"It's ...kayak is being massaged..." Lukman held his arm that was hit dearly from the laila, he knew if his wife did not really hit him let alone want to hurt him.
"I know it's a sign of your love for me...." Lukman walked towards the living room of Alif's bang house with a spoiled laila in his arms.
"iiihh.. narcissistic.." laila gave Lukman a small pinch.
"You don't like your mother later, son. You have to be a patient child..." Lukman stroked his wife's belly, which had begun to grow.
"Start.start... You asked me to relax...." Laila beat up lukman again. She is anxious for her husband if he has started to say patient and smart because he realizes that he is impatient and not smart.
"kdrt this yank..."
"Belvin..." Laila pretended to be upset.
When already in the living room that was clean from the table and chairs, two people were sitting face to face. Lukman frowned and looked at the man in front of his brother.
'like familiar, but who?'
" Mr. Zainal...." Laila greeted the man without awkwardness. He even knew it was the face of his former boss.
"Zainal...?" Lukman was still a bit doubtful despite hearing the name from his wife's mouth.
" How's bang..?" Zainal spoke and Lukman still remembered it was his typical calm voice and he thought it was a bit spoiled for a man's voice there was no nebebass-ngebassnya.
Lukman turned his head to his wife, his heart suddenly hot because he realized that his wife knew Zainal very well even though her face had changed. He remembers his wife chasing Zainal. Laila, unaware of her husband's feelings, walked into the living room, bowing her body and holding her stomach.
"excuse me bang.." said Laila as she passed behind the Alif bang.
' Once in this family Laila now looks different. Just wear a veil. Lucky you la...' Zainal nodded when he saw Laila.
Zainal is jealous of Laila who easily enters the family of bang Alif. Zainal's eyes also looked at Laila's already enlarged stomach. How many months, he thought.
" How many months has it been?" ask Zainal on lukman
"hem.... How are your parents Zein...?" Lukman did not answer Zainal's question again even asked back.
"what's healthy if mom is...."
Inside the house there was a noise between the voices of the women and plates and spoons clanking. Preparing a dinner like that.
Zainal repeatedly looked towards the closed curtain. His eyes could not hide his curiosity.
"It's not coming home if you're looking for it..."
"Ha.. no. I'm not looking for him... "
His mouth and heart seemed to be out of sync.
'Why bang Lukman always knew what I was thinking'
" What about the girls you're betrothed to?"
"Did you know?" Zainal smiles.
"hem., I heard it from dad.."
"So far nothing interesting yet." replied Zainal.
" It's because you don't want to open up to Zein" Lukman said.
"Let's bang...."
"I know you're a basket eye. Why is it so picky now. That's not your style..."
"Yes yes yes I'm a basket eye.not like a brother who only once fell in love and immediately married..."
Bang Alif was only a listener among them. Lukman and Zainal are like brothers. It is undeniable that Bang alif also likes Zainal and wants him to be his sister-in-law but he does not want to obey his desires.
"What can I do against my mother who asked me to get married. This morning my mama forced me to meet a girl again and this afternoon she threatened to go on a hunger strike if I wasn't willing to marry her." Zainal's face suddenly became serious. He looked at Alif asking for an answer.
"solat Istikharah Zein. according to Imam Al Bukhari and Imam Baihaqi Rasulullah saw said there would be no loss for people who are deluded and will not regret people who are scorned."
