139. Fikri's Anxiety

Throughout the application event, Hilya seemed unable to hide her nervousness. Many times he rubbed the sweat on his forehead with the back of his hand. Hilya also did not understand why the sweat would not stop flooding her face and body.

When Hilya will again wipe his face, suddenly a handkerchief made of cotton material looks outstretched towards him. Hilya looked up to find out who the owner of the handkerchief was.

"This cake don't use your hands. If you don't, your makeup will wear off and your face will be rich" Nathan said without turning his head.

Hilya seemed to think for a moment and grabbed the handkerchief. He carefully tapped the handkerchief on his face and neck to dry his sweat. Nathan, who sees Hilya using his handkerchief, smiles.

In front there Nicko and Ramadanti look misbehaved because it continues to be teased by family representatives.

"Say people, silence Girls when proposed means to want. But this time I don't want to use what people say. I just want to represent everyone present here, We ask that Ananda Ramadanti is willing to answer directly Mas Nicko's statement earlier," said the man with a funny face.

The family representatives were greeted by applause and cheers from guests. Everyone agreed with what the man said.

Shamefully Ramadanti stood up and expressed her willingness to accept the proposal of Nicko and his family. Ramadanti's answer certainly makes the atmosphere more crowded.

After the handover process of some 'given' items, the event was continued by eating together. All guests are welcome to taste the dishes provided. On that occasion Anna called Hilya to accompany her to a meal.

Hilya hesitantly approached Anna.

"Oh yes Danti, know this Hilya of Bang Nathan," said Anna introduced Hilya to her future son-in-law.

"Greetings to Hilya. Mas Nicko once told me about your brother," said Ramadanti with a smile.

"Well, what can be said ?. Kan We only met once and this is the second time you know," said Hilya.

"There's. But does Brother want to be horrified here ?" challenge Ramadanti while glancing at Anna who is taking food at the table.

Hilya seemed to frown upon hearing Ramadanti's words. A moment later Hilya smiled while shaking her head in the belief that what Ramadanti said could make her embarrassed in front of Anna.

From a distance Nathan was seen observing Hilya's interaction with her mother and sister-in-law. He smiled proudly to see Hilya easily blend in between his family.

"Don't look at the Bang. Cepetan diiket let it go," said Nicko while carrying a plate of rice complete with side dishes.

Next to Nicko looks Fikri sitting quietly while feeding Arafah.

"This one has to be patient Nick. Precisely if chased even run away," said Nathan while smiling meaningfully.

"Ga need to be pursued as well, ntar even fell kasian. At least you can show him if his position in your heart remains safe," interrupted Fikri while rubbing Arafah's cheek affected by the spice.

Fikri's words surprised Nathan while Nicko seemed to cough. Both did not expect that the calm Fikri had a fairly stunning vocabulary. And a moment later the three brothers laughed out loud.

"You need to laugh, Nath. Serious brother, you know," said Fikri later.

"Yes Bang. I know," Nathan said with a meaningful smile.

"You know what's still here ?. Sana temenin Hilya eat !" fikri gemas said.

Nathan got up because he could not stand the sharp look of Fikri. Slowly he approached Hilya who was eating alone because Ramadanti had to accompany Anna to take dessert at the dinner table.

Without a sound Nathan sat beside Hilya. Stay like that for a while. Hilya realized Nathan's presence because Ramadanti never sat next to him after accompanying Anna earlier.

"So does ngeliatin keep on anyway ?" hilya said, but made Nathan smile.

"Father. Just want to say there's this on your cheek" Nathan said as he picked up a grain of rice on Hilya's cheek.

Hilya's face was shamed with shame. The girl also rubbed her cheek that Nathan had touched with her fingers.

"Still," said Hilya lirih.

"Sama-sama," Nathan said with a smile.

"So Nicko is your sister, your pantes are similar" Hilya said.

"Yes. His only sister. The family's love that turns out to be stepped on his brother just because his brother has not been able to convince the woman he likes so far," said Nathan who is more like a satire than an answer.

"Who ?" hilya did not understand.

"What ?" nathan asked as he looked at Hilya.

"Ck, yes the woman that Nicko's sister likes," Hilya reluctantly said.

Nathan frowned because he had not expected Hilya to ask like that. It seemed that Hilya had yet to realize that what they were talking about was in front of her.

"Curious ?" ask Nicko with a smile.

"Ga too. Don't be told because it's not important to me" Hilya said, rising from her seat and hurrying after Anna and Ramadanti.

Nathan looked gaping as he looked at Hilya who was moving away from him. While on the other hand, Fikri and Nicko were laughing heartily to see Nathan abandoned by Hilya.

Fikri and Ayu were seen lying on their beds. Arafah slept in another bed on the left side of the bed.

Since the night that Fikri 'fought' with my ghost that, since that night also Fikri worries if the creature returns getting bigger. He did not want to be away from his children and wife because he was worried about their safety. Therefore he decided to sleep one room with them in the same room even though the bed is different.

But until far into the night Fikri could not close his eyes. His mind wanders on to his bitter past.

Fikri recalls the events as she began to realize she was different from living in an orphanage. Little Fikri, who was still named Saba, was often confused to see himself in a place with a large number of residents and all had no blood relation to each other. While at the same time he watched children his age live and live at home with his parents and two brothers.

Everything changes when a couple comes along and adopts him. They gave the affection that Fikri needed all this time. And since the age of seven when applying for Primary School, Fikri has a full name, Muhammad Fikri Saba, which is a combined name of his adoptive parents and his birth name.

But Fikri's happiness was again taken when he was a teenager. Both of his parents died in an accident.

Lucky ustadz Zulkifli who is a friend of his adoptive father is present to be his life saver. Ustadz Zulkifli gave a heartfelt affection. Caring for, educating and supporting Fikri until he can get a Bachelor of Religion. Even Ustad Zulkifli gave her a job and helped prepare for her marriage to Ayu. Fikri considers ustadz Zulkifli as a father who is welcomed with pleasure by the ustadz.

Then Bayan and his family came to complete his life. Fikri was also happier.

But since attending Nicko and Ramadanti's proposal, Fikri felt something was lacking. If he has a father who is also a twin of Bayan, then where is his mother. The question kept echoing in Fikri's head and made him uneasy.
