Talak After Shah
Mr. Malik Ibrahim



I pushed my brother's body away from me. Still sobbing I ate all the food on the table.


"This fish must be from my father's pond" I said as I pinched the fish meat and put it back in my mouth


Ozkan let Indah eat with tears, she still did not want to be frank


Lovely put down the spoon and turned back towards Ozkan who was still loyal to sit beside him


"Don't answer my question yet?"


Brother grinned and I who was still upset was singing my lips


"Abang to Indonesia yesterday" said Ozkan lirih


I quickly looked at my brother


"House your parents and propose to you in front of them"


My eyes are back in tears


"Seriously?" I hold back the crying


Ozkan nodded


I quickly hugged my brother and returned as if crying


Ozkan gently stroked the shaky beautiful shoulder


"Even your two sons agree" Ozkan continued


I'm sobbing more and more


"I'm sorry for lying to you, this is what you did because you wanted to surprise you" Ozkan said slowly


I didn't answer all the explanations brother, for me everything was clear


"Tomorrow morning my brother is going to Turkey, asking for his blessing on his parents"


I nodded and took off my arms to my brother. Then rubbed my face rough


"Don't lie anymore, I don't like it" I said


He smiled and pulled my nose


"What do you want on our wedding day?"


I frowned as if thinking hard


Then I shook my head and went back to picking up the lunch box


"I want to eat" I said, making my brother laugh while shaking his head


"That's my mother's brother, because the brother from yesterday hasn't eaten"


I stopped my chewing and stared in disbelief at my brother


"Seriously?"


Ozkan nodded


I quickly scooped up the rice and grilled fish for my brother, then fed it


"Actually brother yesterday ate on the plane, so the provisions of the mother did not eat brother, deliberately wanted brother to eat with you"


"ahhhhh, so sweet" I said spoiled.


Be both of us, and brother is more and more sweet to me all day

"Today you come to the office ummi ya Ndah" said Ummi when I came down from the stairs


I nodded and walked towards him


"Ready ummi, whatever ummi orders I will carry out"


"Smart!!" praise ummi while chuckling


Then I followed Ummi walking out of the house and into the car


Because I was used to working with ummi, so once I entered the ummi office, I immediately turned on the laptop and took a pile of reports


"What is this, ummi?" much


Ummi nodded and sat down in his chair


Then I focused on working on the ummi report. And ummipun like me, he immediately focused on his work


For hours I stared at the laptop screen and once stood facing Ummi asking what I did not understand, and many times also stretched the body so as not to be too sore, even once I walked in the room, stood by the window, gazing deep into another skyscraper.


"Great, today the youngest brother of ummi husband who lives in Dubai will come here, his name is Malik Ibrahim" said Ummi when we had lunch at the cafe near the office, we used to hang out for lunch


"Oh yeah, ummi?" my answer is enthusiastic


I listened carefully.


"He's here to go on vacation and visit Alima, his beloved niece"


"Since ummi's husband died, he rarely came here, maybe because of his busyness or it could be because he was sad because his brother was gone"


I smiled at Ummi's words


"She had three children and was all men, and had all married"


"But very dear, his wife had died five years ago while his youngest son was in college the first semester"


My face immediately turned sad to see Ummi moody


"Five years ago?" much


Ummi nods.


"Ummi didn't attend her funeral?" I asked because I remember ummi never went to Dubai, even when three young masters invited a vacation to Dubai ummi refused


"His wife has been ill for a long time and is being treated in her native Yemen. So he's buried there"


I o long heard the answer ummi


"And today he's coming here, he said it was four hours ago. And ummi's sure, now she's home"


"Ummi if you want to go home is okay ummi, let my ummi work handle" said I


Ummi shook his head and looked seriously at me


"Ummi can ask for your help?" ummi said slowly


I take ummi seriously


"You want to keep Malik company while he's here?"


Deg deg deg!!!


My heart rate immediately beat irregularly.


"It's only for a moment that he's here, once he gets back to Dubai, you can be normal as ever"


I nodded slowly, I cannot argue


...****************...


We went home like we used to. On the way ummi told Pak Farhad to stop by a cake shop, told him to buy various cakes to take home, to be served to Mr. Malik Ibrahim, his sister-in-law


The car was getting closer to home, and I was getting nervous.


Unlike the ummi, his face was more cheerful.


Finally the car arrived and stopped in front of the terrace. Quickly Mr. Farhad opened the door for ummi, and I came down after ummi came down


Then we entered the house together


"Assalamualaikum, Ukhti" a voice greeted us


With a cheerful face ummi immediately welcomed the hands of middle-aged men who have a typical Arabian face and also wear the same clothes as other Arabs


"Kayf kanat alrihlatu? labuda' son of muteab (how was your trip? you must be tired) Ummi said as he walked in


The man named Malik then guided ummi. They immediately sat in the living room, and a waiter immediately took the cake that had been brought ummi


Because ummi sat down, I took the initiative to go up to my room. Just as my feet stepped onto the steps of the stairs, ummi immediately called out to me


"Hey, Lovely. You come here first!"


I turned around and walked towards Ummi, standing beside him


"Well, Malik, this is the beautiful thing I told you about"


Mr. Malik immediately looked at Beautiful without blinking


I smiled stiffly at him. He then cupped his palms together in his chest, and I did the same


"Malik Ibrahim bin Maulana Ibrahim" he said, introducing himself to me


I nodded my head and said my name


"'ana Indah, 'ana muazafat walidatik wa'ana min 'iindunisia" (I'm Beautiful. I am a Ummi employee, and I am from Indonesia) said I introduced myself


"Nice to meet you" said Malik again


And I nodded back.


"Can I ride um?" my share with ummi


Ummi nodded, then I said goodbye to Mr. Malik and immediately I darted up towards my room
