Short Message from Class Brother

ZAHRA'S REQUEST

"Emmm i-iyaa ummi, delicious. It's delicious, it feels very suitable to my tongue" (Jawab Izzan stammering with nausea, because eating pepes made by Zahra)

"Rasain kamuu, eat it so people do not like ignorant!" muttered Zahra while glancing at Izzan accompanied by his smirk smile

***

After finishing dinner together, Hafidz and Aziz invited Izzan to the security behind the house. The three men, now sitting on the relaxed bench in the garden

"Zan" (Call Aziz to Izzan)

"Yes brother" (Jawab Izzan was brief while looking at Aziz who was also looking at him with a serious look)

"So don't ask, what can I do?" (Ask Aziz in a serious tone)

"Sure brother, please" (Jawab Izzan)

"How do you plan to propose to Zahra? have you prepared?" (Ask Aziz while pouring warm tea for him, for Hafidz and Izzan)

"So, sister, I was planning to apply for her on the school's Student Party day. I want to surprise him" (Jawab Izzan was honest and enthusiastic)

"Dik, sorry. Zahra wants to hide your relationship with others" (Hafidz's now-voiced speech)

"hidden? why should I hide my brother?" (Ask Izzan to Zahra's two older brothers)

"Before you answer it, you want to ask Zan first" (Hafidz said)

"Yes, brother, please whatever it is I must answer honestly" (Tukas Izzan steadily)

"Before you met Zahra and were betrothed to her, did you have a relationship that was more than just a friend to another woman?" (Ask Hafidz to Izzan, which makes Izzan seem to sigh long)

"Yeah brother. I used to be close to some women. But nothing more than dating, eating, and taking them shopping" (Jawab Izzan honestly)

"Are there any of them who still insist on chasing you?" (Ask Hafidz again)

"I don't know for sure who's still trying to catch up with me, brother. But most notably, only one. Naya, yes Naya. He was one of my ex-girlfriends" (Jawab Izzan while scratching his non-itchy nape)

"Tell me all about him Zan, so that later there will be no misunderstanding between us. And I hope, whatever you say is true" (Aziz said to Izzan, making Izzan nod quickly)

Hafidz and Aziz seemed to nod their heads in understanding. They both saluted Izzan's response. Because for a man who is drunk, surely their brain will lose with his lust

"Do you still love that girl named Naya?" (Ask Aziz while looking deeply into Izzan's eyes)

"No brother, absolutely not. I had already thrown away my feelings for her" (Jawab Izzan was quick on a steady basis, and made Aziz look deeper into his eyes looking for lies)

"It's not wrong to choose a prospective daughter-in-law, bah" muttered Aziz after finding there was not the slightest lie on Izzan

"Now, may I ask for an answer about Zahra who does not want to tell our relationship to others?" (Ask Izzan very curious)

"Let Hafidz answer him, for he is the closest to Zahra" (Take Aziz as he gazes at Hafidz who is drinking his tea)

"If you answer him, are you sure you will obey him?" (Ask Hafidz while putting his glass back on the table)

"Yes, for sure" (Jawab Izzan quickly)

Hafidz smiled faintly and began to explain,

"Sik, Zahra asked to hide your relationship because of three things. First, after you conclude, your mass must always be chasing you and your treasure. We all know, when it comes to property, everyone must justify various ways to get it. So Zahra was afraid, if anyone would hurt her and your family because those people in your time couldn't let you down. Second, he still wants to continue his school first and lastly he is still not ready to disseminate your relationship to the public. He told me that he was afraid that you would be underestimated when the public knew you were married to a 2nd grade High School child" (Hafidz explained)

In every word of Hafidz, Izzan always listened to him well. He had already understood enough with the explanation given by Hafidz, that,

"Haahh. alright, brother, I will talk about this with papa. I hope, papa does not mind to agree to it" (Read Izzan while sighing long)

Hafidz and Aziz nodded in agreement with Izzan's words, and the three of them decided to enter the house because the air was getting cold

"Sister, Brother Hafidz and brother Aziz go in first. I'll call papa if I stay here. Because by noon, I haven't informed papa" (Izzan's remarks to Hafidz and Aziz)

"You don't have to worry, Zan, brother called your father. He lets you stay here" (Speak Aziz with a faint smile)

"Thank you brother" (Izzan said to Aziz)

"Yes, let's go fast. Here the air is getting colder" (Tukas Aziz while first stepping into the house, which was then followed by Hafidz and Izzan)
