Chapter 2's



Love does not teach us to be weak, but to awaken strength. Love does not teach us to humiliate ourselves, but to exhale courage. Love does not weaken the spirit, but it awakens the spirit. [Money Hamka]


Yes Dimas remember once the wise words of Buya Hamka the famous figure from Minang who became his role model. Of love? For Dimas now love is his family that is Father, Mother, Mas Arya and Dina only it is no longer tucked in his heart. Like the collision 6 years ago that brought his love to be a wound, in addition to physical injuries also mental injuries afterwards. Dimas was still afraid that was what his heart felt.


"Dimas, you want to talk seriously with you," said the father after Mr. Jajang's family left from half an hour ago.


"Come sir?" ask her worriedly.


"Father knows you still want to live freely with your solitude, but you can't possibly continue to live alone while the age continues to grow every hour, minutes and time you need a companion to take care of you and accompany your old age," said the father who opened his glasses and wiped with a tissue.


"What do you mean by Father?" tanyanya confirmed her sitting position that began to fidget.


"Father wants you to marry Dimas, you're an adult your age is also enough to marry, she said, start opening your heart and start a new life not because you are traumatized by the time you are afraid to start." said Mr. looking seriously at Dimas.


Dimas just looked down and looked at the words of his Father, he knew his relationship with Friska had traumatized him, and now Dimas was not ready to love again.


"May Dimas think about it, sir? Dimas did not want to choose the wrong Dimas is an adult, it would be better if starting a relationship in the introduction stage first, Dimas did not want to regret for eternity because for Dimas married it was only once," he looked at me with complete confidence.


The father just smiled at Dimas, he then patted Dimas on the shoulder and went to his room. If you say his father never forced him nor did he urge him, Dimas has not thought of getting married at his age, but Dimas also could not have dragged on in the trauma he had experienced in the past.


*-*-*-*-*


Dimas returned to his office after a day yesterday he resigned because the Father asked him, Dimas still remembered the words of the Father to marry, and Dimas also still tangent how he would decide the wishes of the Father.


"Pack Dyed?" kirana said in surprise as Dimas stood on the porch of her house.


"Mm, let's go" Dimas asked wrongly.


"I bring a motorcycle sir, not good later with other employees," he said politely


"I have promised both Father and Mother so it is impossible for me to deny it" said Dimas.


Dimas walked towards the car after saying goodbye to Mamah and Papah Kirana.


Today Dimas had to keep his promise to invite Kirana employees who are also prospective wives arranged by his father, Dimas instead of reluctant to be betrothed to Kirana, if in look around Kirana sweet with hijab that he wears.


His body was not contained but not very tall - roughly only 160 in height, her skin is not too white but Kirana looks meek and polite indeed if compared to her ex Friska who like a model is much different but in her behavior Kirana is really graceful.


"Sorry sir, it's a hassle" Kirana said, bowing her head.


Dimas tangent and misbehaved, he still remains focused on driving, he does not want if Kirana thinks that no-no even becomes afraid of him because he is his superior.


"How long have you been working at Astra?" tanya Dimas broke the silence.


"Two years sir" he said.


Dimas was silent for a while, already two years Kirana worked at his company but never once did Dimas see and meet Kirana, Kirana, has Dimas been too busy on his own business without caring about employees not even knowing who the employees are? Dimas tried to identify himself.


"I'm sorry I never knew you were working at my place, maybe I was always busy so never paid attention to the employees" Dimas said with a straight-forward look.


"It's okay" he said kindly.


Dimas was stuck in traffic on the way, he felt more awkward to be with Kirana who had lowered her head while hugging her bag, Dimas glanced towards Kirana looking indeed Kirana a good child as seen from the way he spoke politely both to the parents and to her, Dimas became indecisive himself.


"On our matchmaking, do you know? Do you agree?" asked Dimas with his hand still holding the steering wheel.


"I already know that his Father Mr. Dimas came to the house, only I did not know that he was Mr. Dimas, I just depend Papah same Mamah who chose it," he said he looked at Dimas for a moment and then looked down again.


Dimas leaned his body behind the chair, he was sure that the Kirana family would definitely agree to their arranged marriage because Kirana only obeyed her parents, Dimas touched how with her


"I don't know you very well and vice versa, I'm not rejecting this matchmaking just can you be a little patient with me, now we start to know each other first?" said Dimas facing Kirana while giving his hand to shake and Kirana politely shook her while smiling at Dimas.


*-*-*-*-*


3 months passed by the closeness of Dimas and Kirana has been established, they decided to get married next month precisely at the beginning of the month. Other employees have also known the news are lucky there is no rumors confusing about their closeness because Kirana had resigned from the office a month ago.


Dimas does not love Kirana but he is comfortable with Kirana, he is always attentive and also good at Dimas especially always patient on Dimas who is typical indifferent to him in any case, as now for the preparation of the wedding only Dimas still have to be told by the Father and Mother to accompany Kirana to go to the Boutique to choose their wedding dress that will contain elements of Sundanese customs that are thick.


"Dimas doesn't work?" ask Dina.


"Snak deck, Mas would be horrified by Ms. Kirana to make clothes fittings," said Dimas leaning on his mattress while playing a game on his cellphone.


"Mas Dimas really wants to get married?" ask her with teary eyes.


"Inshaallah Dek, Maybe Mas's soul mate is coming now," he said looking at Dina at a glance and then refocus on his phone.


"If Mas is married, Mas will not stay here again and Mas rarely meet Adek, later Adek not escorted Mas again to go to school," he said with sparkling eyes.


"Sir, everyone must have a soul mate, when he has met his soul mate will definitely marry and start a new life, he said, Later also Dina will have a husband have a new family also surely our lives will change," said Dimas closed his phone and looked at Dina.


"Mas Dimas said he would not marry before, but now he is married, Adek was just afraid that Mas Dimas would not love the same Dina and Dina cuekin because he already had a wife like Mas Arya," he said then let out his tears.


Dimas looked at his sister and hugged her letting her cry for a while to spill what was in her heart, however Dimas understood Dina's fear, arya's older sister Dimas after marriage rarely visited the house even if he visited he never greeted or asked Dina also Dimas because of the focus on work and his wife and now he has moved to Bogor to work in a company there with his wife and son, and Dina knew that only Dimas was attentive and always looked after her and she would be afraid that if Dimas married Dimas would do the same thing as Arya.


"Mas maybe if you are married will not stay here again, Mas will wake up home too and later live with Mas Wife, Mas, but that does not mean Mas so forget the same family let alone the same Adek Mas this beautiful, Mas will not be this close again later but the relationship of the brothers there is no end we remain brothers only Mas later will change the status, but the relationship of the brothers, you really want to do so Mas in saying Lapuk bujang when the face of Mas kayak opa-opa korea that you like it, you know," he said.


"Ihh Mas mah if invited to talk seriously that mulu," he said he asked his lips.


"Finally you are crying mulu right Mas so do not have the heart to see it, Mas do not want you to cry you are a girl do not nangisin things that are not important anyway Mas also want to have a wife have children too, Mas do not want you nangisin girls do not nangisin things that are not important anyway Mas also want to have a wife have children too, later if you have graduated to continue marriage first from Mas kan Mas will be alone and you follow your husband" he said.


"Sorry Adek Mas, Adek is too spoiled yes the same Mas until not willing to Mas Dimas wedded continue to share affection with other women," he said staring at Dimas.


Dimas looked at his sister who wiped his tears, Dimas who was angry with his sister was blowing the veil of the sister and made Dina furious because of the jail of the Brother who loved him.


"Mas if Adek's veil will be tangled," he said tidying up his veil.


"Not your hood that is tangled, your face is very tangled like a broken cassette ah anyway worse, like," he said laughing.


Dina widened her eyes with Dimas, but a minute later she laughed with the brother's guyonan, there was little relief for Dimas to see his sister laughing with him even though he knew he might as well lose his sister after getting married later because they wouldn't be this close again.


"Mas, Adek starting tomorrow do not need to be inter-interlocked again, Adek want to ride ojeg online only yesterday to see it is here," he said.


"Lho why? Gapapa Kali Mas and Mas have not married, the marriage is next month," said Dimas.


"The marriage is two weeks away, Adek will also learn to go alone without Mas Dimas to get used to also leave without Mas, continue to say Ibu Mas starting next week in pingit, "said smile.


"Are you not going to see me? Mas do not want to be pingit already like a child in the law mendingan Mas anterin you just school," he said seduce.


"No ah, no way Mas should agree on the pingit because Adek already promised me to go alone, anyway Mas why not pingit anyway do not want to run away?" inquiringly.


"Suudzon aja you, yes already you are ready to go to school," said Dimas.


"Libur Mas, it's Sunday, now" said Dina.


"Well, yes, Sunday, uh, why do you know that the office is a Sunday holiday deck" he said after realizing it was Sunday.


Dimas just laughed at the behavior of his sister, Without them realizing that from then on Mother noticed and listened to their conversation behind the door, Mother had wanted to wake Dimas but Dina had entered first and spoke seriously, The mother who felt bad because Dina spoke seriously ended up listening to the conversation of her two children, she was grateful that her son could get along well and peacefully and was lucky that they understood each other.

Today Anindira returned to Bandung after 6 months he did not return home, yes he has been in Jogja for approximately 3 years, now he is almost in the final semester and soon he will graduate and that is what he dreams of, wearing a toga and smiling happily in front of the camera.


Already finished UAS, Anin had a vacation of approximately two weeks, he decided to go home to Bandung especially the brother he loved would get married next week and he could not wait to meet his beloved brother.


"Assalammualaikum." said Anindira opening the door.


As usual, his house was always quiet and he was used to going home without a welcome and a hug. Anindira was silent for a moment then carved a smile and directly dragged her suitcase into her room that she missed.


Since childhood, mom and papah


her father was always busy working, her father who was an official was rarely at home, and her mother also often went for events because her Mom also worked in the same Agency with her husband.


And since childhood Anindira was only close to the Big Brother, Because his Brother who was always by his side and understood him the most, Anin only had his Brother because they were only two brothers, because they were only two brothers, their age difference is only 4 years apart and that is why they are familiar and often spend time together.


Since he decided to go to college in Jogja his parents never once asked him the news, although they sent school fees and daily meals to Anindira but never one bit Anindira used the money because she knew her parents now hated her for her decision to study in that special area.


Luckily the brother always faithfully asked him news and college, sometimes Anindira wanted to contact his parents but his call never got an answer, he said, and Anindira understands her people never agree with the decisions she has taken since she went to college.


"Teteh." cried Anin as Kirana had just come with Mamah.


"Well, are you home? How come you're not telling me?" tanyanya immediately hugged Anindira.


"Suprise dong let's be shocked," he said taking off Kirana's embrace.


"Till you?" asked Mamah in a cold tone.


"Yes Mah" he said immediately greeted the Mamah.


"Yes, you have changed clothes first after eating," said Mamah who immediately went to her room.


"Teh Mamah is still angry with Anin?" ask Anin to Kirana.


"Sutt, Mamah is not angry with you if she proves you," Kirana said, then took her sister into her room.


"Teh, Anin already wants graduation next year, but Mamah just as papah no-nanya, like they are angry with Anin's decision," he said rendering himself on Kirana's bed.


"Can't suudzon ah, especially the same parents themselves, already do not be prejudiced bad, you will soon finish college will return to Bandung again live here" he explained.


"But I'm married to be alone,".


"You will also get married, we will have a life of each," he said while pulling Anindira's chin.


"Ehh but the candidate is still good? Not handsome?" ask Anin curiously.


"Alhamdulillah good Dek, he also often silahturahmi same Mamah Papah, if the handsome is relative Deck we can not compare inshaallah if the good character must be handsome face," he said.


"Surely she was married to him? I am just a mastiin aja afraid of the heartache will be with him, anyway I do not want to be disappointed and hurt," he said.


"Inshaallah this is the best choice, it will not be wrong to choose hopefully this is the last one for you," he said pulling Anindira's hand to convince her.


Anin just smiles at Kirana she is a little calm because her brother has now found his beloved companion, Anindira believes her brother will be happy after this.


*-*-*-*-*


The wedding day that will finally come, Dimas is already dashing with white clothes while Kirana looks very beautiful with kebaya clothes with hijab and plus singer in her head makes it even more beautiful today.


Dimas said a kabul with one breath, until the voice of witnesses who said Sah and those who said Hamdallah simultaneously including Kirana who also gave thanks.


With the trembling hand of Dimas pairing the ring on Kirana's finger and vice versa, In Dimas's heart he wished he could really open his heart to Kirana because he had already received Kirana in his life, he hoped that Kirana would patiently wait for him who would love Kirana sometime.


Before long the reception was enforced, the invitation of guests who were no more than a thousand had crowded the Building, Dimas and Kirana had also changed their clothes with the Gold color that Kirana chose when Fitting clothes.


"Where's Anindira? We want a family photo first," said Mamah who was standing at the pelaminan.


"So she took Faqih" replied Kirana.


Dimas just stood quietly while greeting the guests but when the name Anindira called Mamah In-laws was somehow he felt palpitations and felt reminded of Anindira he had met in Jogja five months then.


"That's Anin, we're taking a picture here" cried Mamah.


Dimas who heard the screams of his mother-in-law immediately looked at the same direction, a beautiful girl with hair in a loop with fervor on her head was walking with a small child.


Anin stared at the woman and walked towards her leaving the little boy with his mother. Dimas' heart beat faster, the woman he once admired when he first saw her was now at his wedding, more precisely now he's his little sister-in-law, Dimas never knew if what Kirana told him about her younger sister named Anindira was Anindira whom he met in Jogja during the holidays.


"Yes Mah?" the question has gone up on the lap.


"We took a family photo first" said Mamah pulling her hand.


Dimas looked at Anindira who was smiling towards him and Kirana and walked towards Mamah-in-law to take a position.


"I'm sorry for Mother's parents can exchange positions with the same Mama, Ma'am is close to the bride Mas kept his mother next to him, his father moved to the bride," said the photographer who will take their picture.


Anin walked towards Dimas, Dimas noticed Anin's face that was so beautiful even with makeup that was not excessive, he smiled at Dimas, his height was just like Dimas's ears, his body was indeed nice tall thin, thin, taller than Kirana and whiter. Anin looks very beautiful, but Kirana is sweeter and looks cute plus more polite with her hijab.


"Okay still coa his body to the side" said the photographer


giving instructions to Anindira.


Aninpun complied, Dimas as much as possible held himself back because he was really surprised to see Anindira whom he admired suddenly being next to him and he saw him directly and closer, he said, and now the fact is Anindira is his sister-in-law, Dimas sighed he was from the beginning only amazed at the face of Anindira but now Kirana became his wife of course he was more amazed at his wife now who had covered himself with hijab and more peaceful looks for him.


After finishing the family photo, Anindira greeted Dimas and Kirana before going to meet the little boy who was also her cousin. Dimas's gaze could not be separated from Anindira, he always developed his smile, even many eyes glanced at him with a look of admiration also liked, he always continued, she is indeed beautiful, her sister-in-law is now beautiful just like Dina, said Dimas.


"Dim, the girl who was the sister-in-law of Loe at that time," said Rendra saluted Dimas and whispered to him for fear Kirana heard him.


"He was my grandfather, I just found out" said Dimas.


"Wahh beware if you are cheating just as well do not let you jump both," said Rendra warned him.


"It's not crazy, I'm just amazed by him, besides now it's my brother" said Dimas.


Rendrapun then smiled and nodded then Gilang also whispered in his ear.


"Okay because Loe has married so this Adek for me, because it is very beautiful," said Gilang in Dimas' ear.


"It's up to you, but I don't want to make a brother-in-law with you" said Dimas.


Gilang took off his post and elbowed Dimas slowly before the two laughed simultaneously.


In Dimas's heart he felt unsettled, he did not love Kirana yet but he would try to open his heart, but he only touched on why God had destined him to meet Anindira whom he had admired and now became his sister-in-law, but Dimas never thought to love Anindira because for Dimas Kirana much better in terms of Akhlas and his behavior Dimas sure.
