MY HUSBAND MY BEST FRIEND'S BROTHER

CHAPTER 12

Aldo walked to the door after closing the gate as before.

Alki and Destra got out of the car to Aldo who was on the porch.

"Assalamualaikum". Aldo said at the door. But there was no voice from inside the house.

Salam Aldo is said from within after his third salutation.

"Waalaikumsalam". said someone from inside the minimalist house. She is Ratna Aldo's sister-in-law.

Ratna looked first from the window of her house to see who was coming. After recognizing who had come, Ratna immediately opened the door of her house quietly.

"Eh you are Aldo, please come in.

"Where is my brother?". asked Aldo who was still standing at the door.

"Your brother is still in the mosque for the magerib prayer.

"His praying magerib kak Ahmad straight back first ngak mbak?". asked Aldo again

"Usually your brother after praying isya has just returned". replied Ratna

"Then we go to Aldo's mosque".

"Yes Om, we all pray the pending magerib prayer.

"Well sir if so". replied Aldo

Pak Agus Alki's personal driver immediately lowered his master's luggage to be handed over to the host.

"Oh yes, we have prepared dinner for us later, so that Ratna ngak hassles to prepare it.

"Alhamdulillah". Ratna Seru

Your mother was confused to prepare what dinner for you because it came suddenly like this".

"You really like to make these surprises". Imbuh Ratna's.

Aldo just smiled broadly at his confused sister-in-law.

"Yes, we went to the mosque first, Assalamualaikum".

"Girishama".

They left Ahmad's residence to immediately go to the mosque which is not far from the house.

Aldo informed Alki of the existence of the mosque which was clearly visible from Ahmad's residence. And Alki gave advice to walk only.

Mr. Agus, his personal driver, Alki, was also with his master to go to the mosque.

After the departure of her guests to the mosque, Ratna stepped up the steps to ask her son to help her prepare their dinner dishes.

"Darling, have you prayed?" Ratna asked who had been inside her son's room.

"Already, just finished, what's up bun?".

"Help me to prepare dinner, your uncle is coming!".

"Uncle is up to bun?". asked Caca cheerfully

"Huh?". asked Ratna in surprise

"Hehehe, actually Caca met Aldo's uncle at the cafe near Bun school.

"Well, don't you tell me about your father and your mother?". Ratna asked.

"Uncle who asked Caca not to tell Daddy and Mommy.

"You are". Ratna said by pinching Caca's nose lightly.

"Uncle now where's bun?". asked Caca.

"In the mosque followed your father".Ratna answered

"Here you go, help Mother in the kitchen.

They went down the stairs together to go to the kitchen. Caca raised his eyeballs when he saw several medium-sized multi-storey bowls at their dining table.

"A lot, who brought a bun?".

"Your uncle and his friend". replied Ratna.

"Thank God so we don't bother to prepare it, is it Bun?".

"Yes dear". replied Ratna.

They immediately served the dinner together.

**

Aldo, who had been chanting his delayed magerib prayer, circulated his gaze in search of his elder brother.

It is not difficult to find his brother because in the mosque it already looks a little quiet. Only a few remain inside the mosque.

"Assalamualaikum sis". said Aldo who saw Ahmad sitting cross-legged with an ustad.

"Waalaikumsalam". replied Ahmad and immediately embraced him.

"Loe, how can I know I'm here?". asked Ahmad after stretching out their arms.

"From mbak Ratna.

"Have you been to Loe's house?".

"So, brother". replied Aldo

Alki and also Destra approached Aldo after completing his obligations.

They shook hands to get to know each other and they also shook hands with Ustad who was near Ahmad.

"Wouldn't we go back to my house Mr Alki?". asked Ahmad

"Later Mr. Ahmad, we will wait for the Isha prayer here". Answer Alki.

"All right, Mr. Alki". Ahmad

They filled their time by talking about religion with a Ustad who was also there.

There was no time to perform the Isha' prayer. Destra was asked to pronounce Azan by the ustad.

Without a refusal, Destra agreed to the request.

Destra who had been educated in pesantren for 3 years certainly did not have any difficulties for this.

The melodious voice of Destra made Ahmad and Aldo amazed to hear the chant of Azan brought by Destra.

"Not in vain loe I schoolin dipesantren son". said Alki in heart touched to hear the melodious voice of his son.

"Mother, why the dinner plate for 6 people, we only have four bun?. Ask Caca wonder

Ratna who heard the babble smiled.

"The mother talked to you earlier, if your Uncle came with his dear friend". Ratna answered.

"Oh yes, hehehe".

"Caca will wear the hijab, baby". Pinta Ratna told Caca to use her hijab because they were going to have dinner together with her non-muhrim.

"Alright mother, Caca understands by mother's intentions". Answer her with her sweet smile and continue rearranging the food on the table.

"Subhanallah, how sweet is the voice of Azan, Bun?". Caca said admiring Azan's clear voice.

"Dear, maybe the immigrants who stopped at the mosque were dear". Answer the mother who also admired the voice of Azan.

"Well, for example, Caca knows who the man is and he is still single, Caca immediately asked to marry bun!". His exclaim with his scorned cry.

"Why do you want to marry a man who has such a sweet voice without getting to know him more closely first?".

"Surely he is also good at teaching mothers". replied Caca

"Then?".

"Surely she will lead Caca to heaven, Mother.

"Why can you say someone who is good at teaching will be able to take you to heaven, dear?".

"Because he will stay away from and obey all the commandments of God in the book of Our Lady's Qur'an.

"Done!". Caca exclaimed with joy at having prepared their dinner.

"Mother, Caca Salah first yes". Take it again

And was taken by Ratna smiling.

"May God give you the best mate for you son". Say it in your heart with glassy eyes.

Caca stepped towards her room to immediately clean up to carry out her obligations.

Ahmad invited his guests to return to his house after finishing performing Isha prayers at the mosque.

They walked together to the residence of Ahmad.

"Assynoga". Ahmad said before entering his house, as did Alki, Aldo, and Destra. Their arrival was only welcomed by my Ratna.

"Waalaikumsalam".Ratna answered and kissed the back of her husband's hand.

"Caca where's Deck?". Ask Ahmad

"The room is bang, probably still praying". Answer Ratna. And was taken by Ahmad tanda understand.

"Please enter Mr. Alki and Mr. Destra". His speech let the boss enter from his sister.

"Thank you Ahmad". Alki answered and stepped into the house.

"Dek introduce this boss where Aldo works".

"This is my wife Mr. Alki.

With a smile Ratna cupped her palms in front of her chest as a greeting of introduction.

Alki and Destra also cupped their hands just like Ratna did.

"Evening is ready to bang". Ratna said that dinner was ready.

"If so let's eat". Ahmad said with a friendly smile. To bring dinner.

When they were about to step up to the dining table Caca came down from his room wearing Muslim clothes.

"Pamannon". Greet her and fall into her uncle's arms without paying attention to her surroundings. Warmly welcomed by Aldo. Alki was amazed to see the beauty of Caca.

Destra, who saw Caca dressed as a Muslim, kept a smile on her face. Alki who saw Destra continue to smile immediately nudged him slowly to resuscitate his son.

"It's worth loe really want to marry with this child.

"Subhanallah, how beautiful you are dear". Aldo admired the beauty of his nephew.

"Sorry Mr. Alki and Mr. Destra, my son is indeed spoiled for his uncle Aldo". Ahmad slightly raised his voice to remind Caca that there are still others around them.

"It's okay, Ahmad". Alki smiled.
