My Brother's Friend

Sah

The day that awaited arrived, Bang Reza and I were ready to go to Mr.'s house. J to do ijab qabul with her lover. An agitated and nervous face was visible there, several times he sighed while saying something and fixing the black suit that was now attached to his body

Same with me, although now I'm not living it but I am also no less nervous with Bang Reza, he said, I sat myself down in the living room chair while continuing to look at the clockwork perched on the wall

Nine o'clock this morning to be exact, we were both still anxiously waiting for Mr. J who's gonna pick us both up to go to his house. Sometimes we look towards the yard and do not dare to go out because it is still morning and of course there are still many people passing in front of our house, we avoid it so as not to arise many questions from the neighbors who will later ask things that can not make a good sleep, especially this event suddenly and certainly will be more excited if they all know

The black car turned towards our yard, we could already guess who the owner was. And sure enough, a second later the owner came out of there with a pretty shocking make-up. Knee-length pants, clothes and hair that are still disheveled, with a confident step he entered our house

"Are you ready?" tanyanya langkang without salutations

"Waalaikumsalam" I replied still in the previous position

"Eh, yes. Assalamualaikum" he scratched his head that did not itch while the grin was unclear

"Beautiful" he continued again and stopped smiling. I know he praises me, not the piety, but it's true. In this house the only woman I am so yes, of course, the compliment was directed at me. Wait, so gini again

Mr. J himself was still staring at me, he who used to see me in school uniform and other casual clothes, now saw me somewhat differently. Yes, this time I wear a hijab and also a long dress in dark blue, a dress left by my late mother that is now attached to my body, my usually innocent face now I have paved with powder and also his friends. I learned this from the internet last night

"Let's go!" sahut Bang Reza while closing the door to his room but how surprised he was when he saw the appearance of Mr. J is not understood

"Astagfirullah, Jonathan" and the owner of the name realized why Bang Reza was privileged, he realized how he looked this morning

"Sorry, Za. I slept at the restaurant, the change of clothes that were there was just this, yes I don't want to have to wear" he explained what made Bang Reza surprised

"Kok slept there, what's the matter, there's more trouble?" guess Bang Reza

"No, I met someone. He came home late at night and I was lazy to go back home" he explained

"You dated last night?" hearing that question, I immediately turned to Mr. J and Bang Reza who were now sitting by the door, I who was initially reluctant to hear their conversation now seemed interested in the question from Bang Reza

"Not a date, Za. Last night there was an important guest offering cooperation" lied Mr. J

"Oh kirain dating"

"So you're not leaving?" I was a little annoyed to hear the two of them talking unimportant things

"Yes so dong, let's go!" bring Bang Reza

"But wait a minute" said Mr. J stopped our rare two

"What else?"

"You're wearing a jacket, Za. Let's see people continue they will start to find out everything, it's bad if you have to serve your neighbors who are the culprit of the gossip" suggested Mr. J, Bang Reza asserted, after Bang Reza re-entered his room, he took two jackets and the other he gave me. We immediately headed to Mr.'s house. J

The six of us gathered in the living room of Mr.'s house. J. For the second time I came to this place, the memories of that time turned back and somehow I suddenly felt hurt and also wanted to cry. The shadow of the beautiful woman who stuck out long nails filled with nail polish still crossed my mind but once again I brushed it off and tried to strengthen my heart for Bang Reza and Syafa

"But before, can I ask?" he continued, Mr. Burhan nodded once more

"How old are you, son?" the vision went from Bang Reza to Shafa

"I am seventeen years old" replied Syafa, who this time looks different from the hijab and also the white shar'i

"I'm twenty-three and five years old" Bang Reza replied later

"Why are you married in series, can't you legally marry?" look at him again as if he was suspicious of what was happening before him. Everyone was silent, no matter what reason would be thrown out this time. There is no way the real reason will be stated here

"My daughter-in-law is working for the company, according to the contract in force, she should not get married before the contract is completed" said Mr. Burhan immediately, out of nowhere he got that excuse but for sure it could save us all

"And again, they've been dating long enough. I don't want anything bad to happen to them" the alibi was reinforced with the next excuse, Mr. Ustadz just nodded and could accept that reason

"Then will you get married too?" ustadz's view turned to Mr. J and me too. I was surprised to hear it, different from Mr. J, he even relaxed and smiled

"God willing, I'm still waiting for him to graduate" continued Mr. J, it makes me even more clueless

"Good intentions should be quickened, shouldn't they?" I'm still clumsy with what just happened. Different from Mr. J, Bang Reza and also Syafa, the three of them were smiling themselves as if they had no sin

"Okay, I'm starting now"

"Reza Anugrah bin Handi, I marry you to Syafa Anissa bint Burhan with the dowry of a set of prayer tools and also ten grams of gold paid in cash"

"I received her marriage and marriage, Syafa Anissa bint Burhan with the dowry in cash!" loud Bang Reza uttered the qabul ijab this time, although it is undeniable, last night he continued to mispronounce it and continuously repeated

"How's it?" ask Mr. Ustad to all of us

"AH!" mr. Burhan's voice echoed in the living room of Mr.'s house. J, Mr. Ustadz nodded, confirming Mr. Burhan's remark

"Alhamdulillah" in unison with all of us

"Congratulations, you two have officially become a couple. But this is only in the eyes of religion and not yet in the eyes of the law. I suggest you legalize it immediately so you can be calmer"

"Thank you, sir!" Mr. J shakes the Ustadz

"Together, Son. Oh yes, marry him immediately after graduation so as not to arise prolonged slander" Mr. J nodded while looking at me. Duh, that gaze, long ago the defensive wall could collapse if it continuously saw it like that

"God be right away, sir" Mr. J smiled back. But not with me, besides being embarrassed, I was also arranging the heart and also the heart that is now running around, I tried to prevent them from exploding at that time

"I'm sorry, I'm stepping down first. There is another event that I have to go to" Pamit Pak Ustadz at the feet of all, we agreed and did not forget to say thank you again because he wanted to marry Bang Reza and Syafa

"Sorry, I'm late!" yell someone out of the doorway
