IF YOU ARE A FOOL

Eleven Twelve

The morning after the dawn prayer I faintly heard the sound of sobbing.

And after I heard open the door to hear more clearly, it turns out the source of the sound from the adek room.

"honey, that cryy Nahla?" ask Dian.

"yes, it seems so. I tried to look into her room first yes" I was worried, but I thought it must be because I remembered Brother Jo.

"morning kis first" a husband's request that can not be avoided. Or you can catch it until the next morning again.

After doing that a few minutes, because it is definitely not just the morning kiss that happens.But with its plus-pluses bonus as well.

I came out of the room and knocked on the adek room. Because it's still in the lock.

When he opened the door, both eyelids were already swollen. I don't know what time he started crying.

I hugged her for a moment before finally asking.

"dad, what's wrong with you? The plane that Jo was on was fine, right?" ask me, trying to figure out what happened.

"no brother" he replied briefly.

"trus you why cry until rich gini. Last night's feeling out of the airport was fine"

Then he walked towards the nightstand, picked up a small box and thrust it at me.

There's a letter there. Ring box. And some photos.

I was jerked for a while. Then take the letter and try to find out what makes the adek cry this great.

*Assalamu'alaikum Nahla.

As you read this letter, hopefully with joy. Because I don't want to see you sad.

Don't cry, don't ever cry about my passing. Because I'm leaving for just a minute. I'll definitely be back to pick you up someday. Pray that my education will be finished quickly. And you must also promise to remain and always be eager to pursue a doctor's education.

Nahla, I'm sorry if as long as we're together I've been telling you too much about Kayra. Maybe it was a mistake I was too chasing and hoping for something uncertain.

Without me realizing that actually God has brought me closer to someone who has a vision of mission.

I hope it's not too late to realize all this. May your heart not be filled by others more than mine.

I love you, Nahla. Whether it's as a brother, a friend, a sabahat, as we once promised. More than that, I want you to be always present in my life.

Wait for me to come back, don't let anyone reign in your heart but me. Because so is it with me. There will be no one who can take your place.

Maybe this isn't something that means anything. But I want you to wear it, as a sign that you are willing to wait for me. Let's just say it's a bond between me and you, before I officially tie it to your parents.

You are my every think Nahla.

Everything I've been looking for is in you. I hope you realize that sooner or later.

Dear you, dear you,

JOHAN*

I also felt relieved to read the contents in the letter. Grateful if in the end brother Jo realized his feelings for adek. Someone who is more deserving of her love.

I folded the paper back and opened the jewelry box. Quite interesting, just opened it has seen a flash of gemstone.

Gold ring with gemstone in the middle.

"so was this happy cry?" he hid his head under the pillow. Holding back her sobs that were still coming out.

"i don't know what my brother should be. Happy or sad. And that, there is a ring of everything...what does it mean?

I'm rattled. Why do I have to feel this way too?????"

I smiled a little at the words of the grandfather.

"it's not something strange deck. Then you're all grown up, it's time to get married. At most soon also followed brother" my tease.

"what?! Nook. Not likely. I want to be a doctor first" quickly react.

Now the crying has completely stopped.

"that's it.'s been lamar the same brother Jo. Ecieeeee"

"sister. Not that way. Where might it be a proposal. The guy went far away"

"his man did go far, but his heart...still lives here right?" I pointed at my own chest.

"kaaacak. Apaan. I really don't know, why brother Jo is acting like this" looks plain face adek who seems to have not realized his feelings.

Unlike the old me, already know but always try to refuse.

"no more deck issues. They are both big, right?

And you guys are pantes, matching. Brother support me.

Brother sure, sooner or later you will also realize the same feelings as Brother Jo"

"sister's joking. It's obvious brother Jo went a long way to erase his feelings to brother" still debunked.

"really? Did ya?

I think you know more about Brother Jo than you do. Try to accept a new leaf, do not continue to deny it. Obviously, Jo's sister has already expressed her feelings to you. Now you stay, when will realize the same feelings as brother Jo.

Sorry about the deck. For what happened between brother and brother Jo. Really, it's not the will of brother. If it was true that Brother Jo went to erase his feelings to brother, that was only a small part of the reason.

More than that, you yourself must know more about the reason for Jo.

Brother Jo is a good man, really. You are a good boy too, my dear. We all have a destiny and a way of life to go.

Whatever will happen with you and Jo. All of that despite the strong talk about brother"

Adek was still stunned looking at the box beside the bed. I clasped his hand, trying to give him encouragement and support.

"i need to tell Mama about this, don't you?"

"do not need to go first. Until you understand your own feelings. The guy's not even here, is he?" I teased him back.

Adek just nodded his head in agreement. Then back to the body on the bed.

"pantes aja kak Jo was yesterday his attitude aneeeeehhhhh very much"

"weird how?" ask me curious.

"yes strange brother. Not as usual.

The hug pack fast trus laaaamaaa. That's all the parts of my face he kissed. In fact he dared to smell my lips as well at a glance.

Trus he also nitip pesen rich gini same mom papanya "ma.pa..please keep Nahla for me". That's weird, right, brother?"

"it's not exactly deck weird. That's because Jo's brother is already aware of his feelings for you. The feelings that were possible all along were only considered as possible companions"

"oh yes, another pesen he rich gini "*wait until I come back and j*have never let any guy deketin you". But from the first brother Jo likes that, nglarang-nglarang I made in deketin guys"

"do you follow that? So that's why you never had a boyfriend?"

"that's not it either, brother. I am not interested in having a boyfriend. Deket same brother Jo it's made me feel I have everything. Why else have a boyfriend.

Besides yes, in religion also can not be called dating. Mama Papa is also not allowed. Rich brother doesn't know aj"

"yaaaa yaa, maybe his love has been since then but realized it is only now.

According to brother, you actually have the same feeling again deck, just not yet aware of that feeling" I chuckled.

It turns out that brother Jo has been possessive to adek from the beginning. And the adek sort of.

They actually have the same feeling. It's just that they haven't noticed each other. I have a hunch, will the person who once chased me be my sister-in-law???
