The moments leading up to his parents' departure to the Holy Land were the most confusing moments for Gerdy. He was between two equally difficult choices. Both are not the best way out.
"I saw something to say" Abi said shortly before taking a bus to the quarantine inn. "Say before it's too late."
Gerdy shook his head with a grim face. He is not willing to say. How could he equip their holy journey with a desolation?
"Good way, Abi." Gerdy hugged her sadly. "May Abi be well in the Holy Land."
"Take care of your sister" Umi's message held back tears when she got the chance to hug her last child. "Don't quarrel. You must be patient with it."
Vishnu has gone secretly. He was stuffy looking at the scenery around. Tears poured out everywhere as if they would never meet again. They go for Hajj, not to go to the battlefield!
Vishnu met the girl who was waiting in a separate place with the introductory group. This girl is a different model, veiled. Perhaps you are tired of girls who look brave, or just looking for a sensation.
"Who is he?" ask Gerdy on the way home. The girl came home with the mothers who also drove her parents.
"Andini," said Vishnu while driving a car casually. "The Son of Mr. Sekel."
It should not be separated from Bu Sekel. He did not memorize the son of the secretary of the village. They have been since childhood boarding schools.
"Your new boyfriend?"
"That's it."
"You changed your girlfriend for a PIN number."
"She is not far from her sister."
"Don't set a bad example."
"It's good there's nothing."
"Damn."
"This one looks serious. Umi same Bu Sekel has started rafters."
"You're nothing, right?"
"Hold it never has."
"Times?"
"He said not muhrim, haram. Dating with Andini is a sermon rather than talking about love. I don't know why I haven't broken up yet."
"Sign you're in love."
"Perhaps because it fits Umi's taste."
"The one you're dating."
"It's better if Umi agrees."
His sister was right, Gerdy thought bitterly. The consent of the parents needs to cover the household ark. She wouldn't be so confused if the pregnant one was Karlina. They just confessed to the khilaf.
"Abi is also acc like him," said Vishnu.
"Prilly how?" gerdy fishing rods. "Say he wants a pedekate."
"That's exactly what I lost track of" said Vishnu bland. "I called the school and moved. His friends no one knows where to move."
"Have you asked her sister?"
"I could get slapped if Umi finds out I'm coming to her house."
Gerdy fisting. "Love needs a fight."
"I'm just looking safe. Umi agrees with Andini."
Gerdy hopes Vishnu will be a good man. Not following in his brother's footsteps. Not changing girlfriends and falling into a free life. May Andini be the last port of Vishnu.
The girl is suitable for Vishnu. She is not only beautiful and good at keeping up appearances, but smart at taking care of kitchen work.
He immediately went to the back with Karlina as soon as he got home. They're helping cooks for the ratiban tonight.
"You'd better get banned" said Gerdy. "Work in the kitchen is hard."
"Andini again be well prospective brother-in-law," said Vishnu. He knew that the match was a cover. "Everyone said they were fit to be residents of this house."
"He's not your candidate yet. Not good for his parents."
"To be told to help his parents."
"No school?"
"Just returned from Masturiyah."
"Have graduated?"
"Move to Aliyah in the sub-district town."
"Wild near you?"
"Not really."
"Don't treat you like your previous girlfriends."
"Sister Gerdy is exactly Umi! What don't I have feelings for?"
"Feelings have, just likes shorting."
"Umi's more sadistic."
"should."
"I was forced to marry a hanged man."
"Good."
"What good?"
"Bet than you who are hanged."
"I want to be free."
"But you want to?"
"Yes just live as they are. Ta'aruf. Darling if it's removed. Andini's beautiful."
"Silvana is beautiful."
Silvana is their house manager. Beautiful, educated, but single immortal.
"That means don't look at his face."
Perhaps Umi is worried about seeing the freedom of Vishnu's life. He wants to restrain it with official ties, but it can't be mixed yet, that's about the picture of hanging mating.
But there is something more to worry about.
Gerdy got karmic from imaging in front of his parents. Remembering that, he was worried.
"This morning I went back to Bandung" said Gerdy. "There's college."
"Who is the welcome to represent the family at the ratiban tonight?"
"Sir Lurah."
"match it."
"It should be Mr. Sekel."
"Gruby."
"I told them, but I'm trying to get home as soon as possible." Gerdy takes out the keys to his father's safe and ATM card and is thrust into Vishnu. "You hold it."
"Abi handed over the same sister."
"I leave it to you." Gerdy felt his sister deserved more trust. A dirty man like himself does not deserve to hold a mandate. "I want to be honest with you because you're my only brother."
"So all this time you've been dishonest with me?"
"No."
"What about?"
"I married Nadine eight months ago."
Vishnu surprised. "Seriously?"
"Enough you know. Then I give up that trust with you."
Vishnu can already guess why his brother married secretly, must have been an accident. Quite simply, a jumping squirrel must fall too, as the saying goes. Fortunately, her brother fell on the rug. His friend impregnates a widow with two children, does not it fall on the rock of his name?
"Kok can be an accident, even though there are many signs."
"He didn't take pills."
"Can it be outside?"
"It's an experience."
"Much on the internet."
"In your life, how?"
"His name is High School, curiosity is very high. Just want to know."
"Your boyfriend isn't suing?"
"He's not playing with me. Many men. I don't want to get her gum. Then I'll split up fine."
"Previous girlfriend?"
"Tests drive before buying a car."
"Gen Z is that right?"
"What year was my sister born? Do you think you've been gentlemen?"
"I'll be a father soon."
"It's a good thing I'm in a hurry to get away from the last boyfriend. Otherwise, it's like a big brother."
"Lagian High School toys college boy. They're experiences."
"I thought she was a good girl. It's not the same with big sister's wife, lots of girlfriends."
"Nob just vilified my wife. Nadine's just a friend."
"He did that too. But my friend used to catch him checking in."
"Nadine never checked in. He only did that once.same me."
"Amazing out. So naturally Brother Nadine demands. I thought he was a regular."
"He's not demanding. He knew I wouldn't run away from responsibility."
"I would too if I were the first. I'm just a used-goods shelter. Then I'm the same date who's a lot older."
Gerdy cannot blame Vishnu. He set a bad example. He should not be too open to his brother.
"So Prilly and her mother live with her sister?" ask Vishnu.
"Don't talk about Prilly because there's an Andini."
"Son't have to say from the beginning that there's been an accident."
"I must have been told to leave Nadine and marry Karlina."
"Don't blame Umi."
"I don't blame Umi. I know their families don't deserve to be made of them."
"And you chose an unworthy family?"
"I've been friends with Nadine since childhood. I know his nature. So I think he's the best fit to be my life partner."
"He's a perfect brother-in-law. I'm proud that you can get it. But his father's ugliness is a disaster."
"You recognize Nadine as sister-in-law?"
"He's Brother Gerdy's wife, how do I call him?"
"I'm glad to hear it."
"Keep me how?"
"Please tell our parents if I don't have time to tell them."
Vishnu silent.
