Uhuk, uhuk!
Intan who was chewing the food immediately choked. Bak was struck by lightning in broad daylight, he was very surprised to hear that he would be betrothed to the professor he hated the most.
'I'm sure this must be a dream. How could I possibly marry such an evil man? Oh no! It was like a calamity, ' Inner Intan sipped mineral water.
He did not dare to say anything because he was worried about his mother's illness.
Meanwhile Zein was still trying to be calm even though he was no less surprised than Intan. 'What dream should I marry such a spoiled girl?' inner Zein. He did not say anything, so Muh and Rani assume that Zein agreed with this matchmaking.
"Emm... It looks like the two of you don't mind? Reasonable, anyway. You already know each other, so it's not hard to build chemistery. Didn't you?" rani said without sin.
Let alone chemistrery. Just a good relationship between consulents and koas alone does not exist. They argue more often even if only for trivial things.
"I'm also happy that you both agree" said Fatma, who has been a loyal listener since.
"Other than me, Mom. His late father Intan would be happy if he knew this. Because he once put Intan on me. Hopefully Zein can keep this trust, huh?" muh said with a face that looked so happy.
‘Cih! Where possible. There I will suffer if I have to live with it,’ muttered Intan in heart.
Zein just smiled bitterly. He wanted to refuse, but he who upholds ethics could not immediately refuse before Fatma just like that. If it was just Intan maybe he wouldn't care. But he thought about the feelings of Fatma that he had previously known.
A few moments later, they came out and said goodbye in front of the restaurant. "Zein, can you call Intan and Miss Fatma?" ask Muh. He could not bear to see the two women go home together.
Zein seems to object. He does not want to drive Intan because he is worried that the girl will feel cared for. Realizing that, Intan immediately answered Muh's remarks.
"No, Om! I brought a motorbike" Intan said. At this time he did not want to get too close to the most frightening creature for him.
"Well, but it's okay for you to ride both bikes these nights?" ask Muh.
"What's up, Om. I'm ordinary, though. Even I usually go home early in the morning from the hospital," Intan said as he glanced at Zein. He deliberately insinuated the consul who he thought did not have those feelings.
"Oh my God, that's dangerous. Zein, what are you, anyway? You mean to come home alone for the night?" Muh protested to Zein. He considers his son outrageous because it is very dangerous.
"The father doesn't know. If it were that again. No other doctor complained, either. Yes ... unless you're spoiled," Zein quipped. He was upset because Intan complained.
"Yes, we go first, Om," Intan hurried away. She did not want to argue with her future husband.
"Okay, careful!" sahut Muh's. They also went home.
Arriving at Muh's house, Zein immediately protested to his parents. "Are Papah and Mamah not wrong? He's a kid, Pah. There's still a lot to go through to become a doctor."
"Why not? Didn't you guys get close enough? Did you forget, Zein? You even used to love Intan very much" said Muh. They didn't talk about the past because it was late.
"What?" Zein frowned. He did not believe what Muh said.
"You remember Intan's mother, right? Aunt Fatma," Muh tried to evoke Zein's memory.
Zein seemed to think. "Forgot to remember, anyway. Why?" tanyakanya.
"Well, we were neighbors. When Aunt Fatma gave birth, you were 11 years old. At that time you were almost graduated from SD. But you really like children. So you're the one who took care of Intan. Remember?" ask Muh.
"Huh? So she ...?" Zein seemed to not believe that the girl he was going to marry was the baby he had once raised.
"Yes, right. He is now a big boy and will soon be a doctor. Awesome, right?" ask Muh without sin.
"Astaghfirullah, Dad. I have to marry a kid, all right? I may feel guilty if I remember how she was when I was a baby" Zein protested.
"Now he's an adult, Zein. You better know how he is. A little bit of papah already knows what kind of Intan. Papah is sure that if you get to know him more closely, you will definitely fall for him" explained Muh.
Zein was speechless no more. Rebellion is also free because if the papa has made a decision then it cannot be contested.
"You will soon have to replace Papah, Zein. If you are not married, then the other shareholders will not agree. You know that, right?" timpal Rani's.
"Yes," replied Zein. Then he went to his room.
Zein is the future heir to Harapan Keluarga hospital. She had to marry Intan in order to become a director. Because, Intan's father who died had contributed to Zein's parents who were the owners of the hospital.
Elsewhere, Intan asked for an explanation from her mother. He still did not understand why he had suddenly been betrothed like that. The road to becoming a doctor is still quite long.
Upon arriving at home, Intan cleans up the body, then sits down next to his mother, then he puts his head on Fatma's thigh.
"Mom, sorry. I don't want to protest. But why did Mom suddenly match me?" intan asked while feeling Fatma's soothing hand rub in her head.
"I'm sorry, honey. Mom hasn't told you the same story yet. Actually this is your late father's request. At first, Mom refused. But I begged and said that this is all for your good. Finally I agreed and yesterday Mr. Muh called Mom. Inviting us to dinner, to discuss this matchmaking," Fatma explained at length.
"What if I refuse, Mom?" intan asked while glancing towards his mother.
"Look, Son. I hope you just go first. You don't need to get married right away. Later you will be engaged first as a process of exploration. During that time, you can get to know each other more closely and if it does not feel suitable, then there is no need to continue. How's it?" bargain Fatma.
"Really, Mom?" Intan was so excited when Fatma said that she could cancel if she did not feel suitable.
"Yes, Son. I don't want to force you. But I hope you try it before you refuse" replied Fatma. Even so, he believes that Intan will marry Zein.
"Okay, I agree then," replied Intan, excited.
***
In the morning, Intan who had just arrived at the Hope Family hospital rushed towards Zein's room. He wanted to ask Zein to cancel their match because he hated the fierce Professor who always scolded him.
Tuk, tuk, tuk!
Intan knocked on Zein's door restlessly.
“Log in!” zein said from the inside without looking at the door.
Chequek!
Intan came in and closed the door from the inside because he was worried that someone would hear their discussion. Then he drew closer to Zein and spoke without further ado.
"I hope Prof can cancel this match!" pinta Intan on Zein who is busy with his laptop.
Zein stopped the movement of his fingers. Then he looked towards Intan.
"Who dare you tell me? If indeed you do not want this matchmaking, please cancel it yourself!" sahut Zein, cold. Then he resumed his activities, without paying attention to Intan.
Intan frowned. "Oh, so you really want to marry me?" the accusation.
Zein grins. "For me, marriage is not important. I accepted this match just out of respect for my parents. If you can cancel, please! But sorry, I don't have time to discuss that trivial thing" Zein said. Then he moved on and left Intan in his room.
Zein was annoyed that Intan had so dared to reject him. For him, if anyone refuses it should be him, not Intan.
Intan was even more upset because Zein could not be invited to work together. He himself could not just cancel it. Because his family's position is not a party that deserves to cancel.
However, Intan was unyielding and caught up with Zein who was walking out of the room. "Prof! Please don't be like this! Prof knows I'm still in. My path is long. How could I get married, let alone the same fierce Professor like you," said Intan.
He was so emotional that he was released.
Flipped like that by Intan, Zein also felt challenged. He turned to face Intan who was behind him.
"Indeed why marry the fierce Professor, are you afraid?" asked Zein, while looking at Intan with a hard-to-understand look. Zein stepped forward towards Intan until the girl retreated in fear.
Coincidentally at that time the corridor of the hospital office room was quiet. So that they could discuss such a thing without fear of anyone hearing.
"Yes, I'm scared. I don't want to have a fierce husband like Prof" replied Intan bravely. But he was afraid to see the gaze of Zein who was like a wild animal was wanting to pounce on his prey. He was getting nervous when his back hit the wall and his position was supported by Zein.
"Good! Then we should get married. So you know what it's like to have a fierce husband like me" whispered Zein.
Their faces were only five centi away. So that Intan choked and pegged fear. He was worried that Zein was doing something he didn't expect.
Seeing Intan frightened, Zein even deliberately brought her lips closer to Intan's lips. It was as if he was about to kiss the girl's lips until Intan closed his eyes while looking down.
