"Iqbal?" Bilqis repeated Sisi's words. The side nodded.
"Sister is joking. Where could he like me. We are friends, brother." Bilqis does not believe Sisi's statement on Iqbal.
"She's loved you for a long time. Remember, I almost drowned in that artificial lake. He even got confused because you are not aware," explained Sisi who told me about Iqbal's feelings. Bilqis was silent for a moment, his mind was laughing considering the incident when he was saved by the man they were talking about, when he almost drowned.
"He sincerely loves you Dek. He did not even dare to express his feelings for you. Afraid you'll be angry with him. He can't do it if you hate him. And choose to save feelings for you," continued Sisi holding both shoulders of his best friend.
On the sidelines of their chat, Felisa comes with a drink and some food for her guests and daughter. At first he heard their talk. Looks like she's got to convince her daughter about the man who loves her.
"What's your brother saying, baby." The woman wearing the maroon hijab put her tray on the table. After that join the princess and her guests.
"Well, how do you know?" ask the woman who looks pale.
"Darling, don't know you. When he was so attentive to you. When she's worried about your situation. Isn't he the one who's always there when you're in trouble. Is it still unclear to prove that the man loves you so sincerely." Felisa looked at her daughter's face with confidence.
He'll try to make his daughter forget Hanif. Because of the man who bears the title of doctor. Not love her. The man was only concerned and encouraging for his daughter. He didn't want his daughter to misjudge someone. A truly sincere person loves only, he cannot see clearly.
Felisa also did not want to until Hanif established a relationship with his daughter on the basis of pity. Not on the basis of loving each other. He did not want the child he had cared for for for 22 years wrongly chose a man to be his life companion. She did not want her daughter's fate to be the same as her best friend once was. He won't be able to see it.
Bilqis seemed to think for a moment with what was conveyed by his friend and his mother. It's true, come to think of it. Iqbal is always there when he needs to be. Without feeling, a round of clear water came out from his eyelids. How stupid he has been all this time. Wasting someone who loves him.
"Bun, please meet Bilqis with Iqbal." The woman wearing a knee-length dress then looked confidently at her mother to meet the man who had always loved her.
"You're right, honey, would you like to see Iqbal now?" felisa asked her daughter, and answered a nod by her daughter. The side was happy to hear it. Finally, his best friend found his true love. Most importantly, the problem is resolved.
Felisa then calls Iqbal to come to his house. Maybe his daughter wants to ask him directly. To convince his heart more. The side was too tight for his best friend. Considering the day is getting late.
"Thank you, brother. I told Bilqis everything!" said Bilqis hugged his best friend and brother tightly for him.
"You deserve a happy Deck. Your happiness is with Iqbal. You are strong! In the fight against your illness," Sisi retorted and removed his body from the arms of his best friend.
"So good-bye, assalamualaikum!" Sisi went straight out of Bilqis' room to go home.
On the way, he called his girlfriend. Tell me the problem is over. He was very happy, because he could solve his problems without having to hurt his best friend. "Assalamualaikum," he said to the man across the street.
"Later home tonight, I want a surprise for you. Assalamualaikum." After expressing her intentions to Hanif, the woman who was still wearing her doctor suit hung up. It was clear his face was so bright.
At about 19:30, an MPV car entered the gate of the whitewashed house. A man wearing a shirt with a collar on his neck came down from the car. A smile emanated from the man's lips. His feet went to the main door. A middle-aged man and a peach-veiled woman welcomed the young man's arrival.
"Waalaikumussalam, come in son Iqbal!" reply Dino asked his guest to go inside.
The three of them entered the living room. Iqbal sat down, accompanied by the owner of the house. While Felisa, she goes into the kitchen to pick up a drink and calls her daughter.
"Darling, Iqbal has arrived. Meet him there!" Felisa told her daughter that the man she was waiting for was already in front.
"Bun, Bilqis kok so gini deg-degan ya." Felisa smiled at the words of her daughter. Bilqis immediately pouted.
"That's a sign you also have the same feeling Iqbal," replied Felisa giving a tray containing drinks to give to her guests.
With nervousness, Bilqis also headed to the living room with a tray in his hand. Seeing that his daughter had come, Dino stood up and said goodbye to his guests to go inside. After putting his drink on the table, Bilqis invited Iqbal to drink it.
"Drink the tea, Bal." Iqbal could see clearly that the woman beside him looked nervous.
"You're why Qis, how pale. Still sore? If it hurts why is it forced out?" cecar Iqbal panic. Bilqis. Trying to neutralize his feelings so as not to look nervous in front of Iqbal.
"There's something I want to ask you." Bilqis paused his words. "Do you like me?" Now Iqbal who looks wrong after hearing a question from Bilqis.
"I.i.."
"Jawab Bal, you have to answer the truth." Iqbal took a long breath.
"You're not angry, are you?" ask Iqbal back. Bilqis nodded. "Tell?" Further.
"No Muhammad Iqbal Alfahri." Iqbal smiled broadly. He held both of Bilqis' hands. After that, try to calm his heart first. After that, he opened his voice.
"I love you Bilqis Humaira. Really, really love you." Heard a statement of love from the man before him. Makes Bilqis blush in shame. That's exactly what my mom and her best friend said.
"Since when?" Iqbal remembered it.
"Since the first time I met you," he replied then bowed.
"Congratulations?" Iqbal nodded.
"I'm not approaching you to be your best friend. But want to date you. But you always say, we're best friends. From there I never told you. I'm afraid you'll hate me." I don't know when they hugged. Maybe romantic words that make both of them get carried away.
Bilqis' parents, who peeked at her daughter from behind the curtains, were delighted to hear that they were in a relationship. Bilqis is now aware that her feelings for Dr. Hanif are not love. But a feeling of admiration for the young doctor. It turns out that during this time, Bilqis also had the same feelings as Iqbal. It's just, he didn't notice it. Or maybe it is closed to the principles they set out to create.
