That's so dirty of me

The Part 18

It's So Dirty I'm Part 18

"Mas Alif, get down Fira!" Shouted Fira frightened with both hands that were still busy pounding the steadfast back of Alif. He wants to disturb Alif so that he is immediately taken down.

Alif who was completely unaffected by Fira's anger further accelerated his pace. To him Fira was light, perhaps even lighter than before. Could Fira lose weight after a week of cold war?

Ah, no-no! Actually the one who feels this cold war is Fira alone. Alif did not think they were in a cold war because that's why he had been looking for Fira for a week whether it was at school or in the dormitory. Alif has tried but Fira is always indifferent to his struggle.

Sometimes Alif does not understand why women are this difficult to understand?

"Mas, Fira is ashamed to know about the same people. Fira can walk alone so go down Fira now!" From then on they continued to be seen by the cottage people. This doesn't mean Fira isn't happy but because she's ashamed of being raised like this. If carried bridal style or on the back is okay, even Fira happy. But this was on the shoulders, as if Fira was a sack of rice not a human!

"Don't move." Alif's protest was not happy. Fira continued to move on his shoulders, afraid that Alif could not balance the body and ended up making them both fall.

Well, as an Alif man there is absolutely no shame in falling because it is only natural. After all, he was also carrying Fira who could not stay still so Alif was not afraid at all. But this is different for Fira, for Alif the woman is difficult to understand. Brought like this alone they are embarrassed especially to fall?

Of course Alif did not let that happen so he warned Fira not to move much.

Hearing Alif's displeased tone, Fira no longer did anything. He kept silent obediently watching Alif carry her like this. He doesn't want to provoke Alif's anger again like a week ago so he will remain silent. Annisa's problem, Alif of course did not let it pass so Fira was sure Alif would immediately ask for his explanation. If Alif needs an explanation then Fira will decide to tell Alif the truth that he is sick, he likes his own brother and must be immediately rushed to the mental hospital.

I don't know, Fira's really desperate right now.

"Mas Alif," Call Fira in a whisper, because he is on Alif's shoulder then Fira is sure Alif can hear his voice.

"Hem." Alif answered briefly, though visibly focused he could still respond to Fira's gentle call.

Fira did not immediately say what was spinning in her head. For a moment, he fell silent thinking about how Alif responded when he heard his question.

Holding tightly onto Alif's shirt, after thinking for a while Fira finally decided to say something to Alif. "Mas Alif said the answer to Mas Alif's istikharah prayer was clear. So, is that girl Annisa's sister?" It must be Annisa, Fira has no doubt about this-this answer

Hearing Fira's question, Alif flashed a faint smile from his lips and slowly stopped his steps. "No, that girl isn't Annisa." Alif replied with his steady and calm voice. Convinced that Fira could hear him clearly, Alif again accelerated his steps immediately back home. He was eager to execute Fira later so that he could not think of anything!

After hearing Alif's reply, suddenly his agitated and jealous feelings were instantly swept away. Annisa and Alif's relationship no longer bothers her because the person who will be with Alif is not Annisa.

Then, which girl is that?

"If it wasn't Annisa's sister, then who was that girl?" Tanya Fira hesitated. He hopes that the girl is also not Aisha, or actually Fira really expects that girl is him?

Ah, that's too improbable also sounds funny. How could it be Fira due to the fact that they are big siblings together from small. Fira was deeply saddened by this unfounded thought.

Once again, Alif stopped his steps to answer Fira's question. From this question Alif knew that his struggle during this time was not in vain, the person he fought to fall in love with him ended up falling as well. Getting into his long-awaited trap. Fortunately this plan went smoothly because otherwise, Alif did not know how to deal with his rocky future.

Smiling satisfied with happiness, Alif then tightened his grip on Fira's waist. He did that to keep Fira safe nearby.

"That girl is the one closest to me." His reply sounded ambiguous, making Fira even more wondering who the girl was. Can't Alif just say it directly?

Fira was very upset!

"I won't answer any more questions that smell like my wife, so you're forbidden to ask." Alif chuckled as he continued his steps, this time his steady and long footsteps became more relaxed. Give Fira time to enjoy the togetherness of the two in a strange way.

After they returned home Alif could not carry out his plan because Abi suddenly urged him to come to the office immediately. Abi said if there was a serious problem they would do there so Alif had to come immediately without delay.

Getting a sudden business like this is common for Alif and usually he will not complain. But today was different, because he had to finish his business with Fira so Alif was a little reluctant to settle his office affairs. He was afraid that when he went to the office Fira would run away again and lock himself in the dormitory like a week ago.

"Mas will be going to the office soon because there is an important affair with Abi. Later after returning home from the office Mas did not find you at home, then never protest if your dorm Mas searched." Alif's message warns Fira not to act childishly again by hiding inside the girls' dormitory. Because if Fira to repeat it then the only way is Alif will use the last way. Ransacking the princess dormitory to get the fugitive!

Fira did not know she wanted to laugh or cry when she heard it, she never knew Alif would have such a big ambition to punish her!

"Mas can't just walk into the princess's dorm." Fira shows Alif's weakness. After all, no matter how big of a threat Alif is at the moment Fira is sure Alif will not be as determined as it is to enter the dormitory. Inside is full of sea of santriwati who are definitely still girls and single, ah!

If Alif recklessly barged in then the girls would see Alif completely, indulging their sense of sight freely and Fira would never like that!

Alif shrugged his shoulders indifferently, "Why not, after all this is my boarding school so I am free to do anything." Alif doesn't care. Since he will soon replace Abi then he can do whatever he wants. Especially if it was for Fira, he would not hesitate to barge into the princess dormitory to drag his disobedient wife home!

Ah, Fira was instantly unable to say anything! He wondered since when did his brother act so haughty like this? Oh, naw! Has Fira known nothing about his brother's arrogant nature all along?

Why did he not know that his brother also had a dark side?

"I'm not sure Big Brother will be that close." He wouldn't dare not go in there?

There are too many single girls, ah!

Smiling in a knot, Alif raised his right hand to touch the top of Fira's head covered in a long headscarf. "For you whatever I'll do." Alif said sincerely, for Fira, he will not hesitate to do anything as long as Fira stays beside him. But one thing is certain, whatever it is must be within reasonable limits or on the radar of goodness. Don't because love is all equated, whether it's evil or good makes no difference. But act like pure love, looking only at goodness.

This is the sound of Fira's heartbeat now pounding. Fira could feel if her current face suddenly became hot, but strangely it did not bother her at all. He even felt comfortable because of it. He also knew that he should not think about the no-no but he could not deny that what Alif said at this time was a romantic form of a lover and not a sister-sister relationship.

He wanted to shout at himself that it was impossible but his heart refused to say that.

Looking at Fira's shy blushed face, Alif could not help his euphoric feelings. Strengthening his heart, he then saluted Fira and also warned her one last time not to try to escape again as the consequences would be very dangerous.

Alif leaves Fira who is still possessed by a sweet feeling alone in the room. Silently for a long time, Fira finally realized from her sweet daydream. He raised both hands to pat both cheeks that still felt hot!

"Mas Alif realized what he was talking about was excessive?" He muttered with a smile as he dropped himself on his bed. He had not occupied this room for a long time so when he returned today he felt the fragrance of Alif everywhere. Hem, is falling in love this ridiculous?

"Alif, Umi wants to talk to you about something." When he saw Alif coming out of Fira's room, Umi immediately approached him to discuss the match between Alif and Annisa.

"Sorry Umi, Alif can't talk right now because Abi is in need of Alif in the office." Alif rejected Uminya subtly because Abi is currently in need of him in the office.

Umi frowned in dissatisfaction, wanting to hold Alif to stay at home but she was not sure because Alif's expression said that her current Abinya really needed him there.

Nodding reluctantly, "Later after the tarawih prayer, someone wants Umi and Abi to tell you." Grabbing Alif's arm, "So you should go home and not go anywhere after getting off the mosque." Umi's message was immediately taken by Alif.

But unfortunately, Alif also wanted to talk about important things to his parents. He wanted to give them both a surprise that was never expected.

"It happens that Umi, later tonight also Alif wants to say something to you so Alif hope you take the time to chat with Alif." His smile was gentle, implying how respectful he was to Umi.

Umi was relieved because she finally could see Alif's smile after these few days looking moody. Nodding in satisfaction, Umi hears that Alif has just met with Annisa and Aisha in the garden. Said the cabin boy who he was in charge of spying on, they saw Alif, Annisa and Aisha go pick vegetables together. Hearing this, of course, Umi became happy, he was more and more happy to see Alif's happy smile finally returned again.

"Alright, meet Abi immediately to finish your business and make sure you're home tonight."

Alif nodded lightly, "In shaa Allah, Umi." He promises. Alif did not delay his work anymore and immediately kissed Umi's right hand to leave.

To be honest, he's really excited for tonight. The surprise that he had prepared for so long finally tonight he gave also to his parents, Hem, how happy he was to think of this. However, he still had one worry which was Fira. Although sure if Fira also likes it but Alif can not deny his fear if suddenly Fira refuses to be with him!

He has fought hard and he does not want what he has fought to be wasted.

Once inside the house there was still no sign of Umi and Abi in the living room. Precisely what Alif found was only Fira who looked cool watching TV. Shaking his head slowly, Alif then directly sat himself beside Fira. Reaching the TV remote, he said nothing to shrink the volume of his voice to zero. It leaves silence for both of them.

"Mas Alif really don't use greetings, anyway?" The protest of Fira was not happy as soon as she found Alif already sitting beside her. Since when did Alif come in?

And why was Fira unaware of his arrival just now?

"Greetings are also you will not hear, the sound of the tv is great, not good for people outside."

"The rest of them went to leave Fira alone at home. If in the dorm Fira can have a friend chat one two so it is not too lonely if the person on the go terawih." Since he was alone here then the time felt very boring. He decided to watch neat tv no one caught his attention so during the show watching tv he just daydreamed unclear about his future full of secret words.

How he is not sad because soon will enter the month of Shawwal, he will soon get married and live with other men. Alif will get married in the same month as her. They will live with their respective partners which of course for Fira it will be difficult to feel happiness. But for Alif it might be different because Fira noticed her sister was paying close attention to the wedding.

"Now there's a big brother so you won't be lonely anymore." Grabbing Fira's hand suddenly, Alif could feel if Fira's hand had been tense because of his sudden movements.

Smiling faintly, Alif combined their fingers like a typical lover. He acts innocent and behaves if this is normal they both do.

"Mas would like to hear your explanation of the day you entered a lot of chili into the cuisine of Annisa and Aisha. Explain why you did that to them?" Since they were currently alone at home and had free time to talk, Alif did not want to delay their time to talk about this matter anymore. Alif wanted to know why Fira dared to do such a reckless thing?

Fira knew sooner or later Alif would ask him about this but he never knew if asked directly like this was very unpleasant. He actually did not like this conversation.

Subjecting his head, "I'm not happy with their light. Back then they should have been more serious about cooking Umi but they didn't because what they had in mind was just about being able to please Mas Alif. It's like they're very much expecting to get Mas Alif blatantly." Fira used to understand Zahra who did not know anything while chasing Alif, but Annisa and Aisha were different. They already knew that women were generally shy so seeing their high desire at that time Fira was very upset.

"Therefore Fira put chili into their food so they are disappointed to see Mas Alif not eating the food they have made. He also did not expect if so scared Alif on spicy food Alif only eat desperate cuisine made. Even Mas Alif to spend it directly without glancing at any food.

"Dec," Alif let out a long sigh. He did not know to be happy or cry to see this jealous Fira. Well, at least that's a sign Fira likes it. But Alif doesn't like it when jealousy makes Fira do bad things.

"Actually at that time Mas did not know if cooked they had a lot of chili."

Stunned, Fira immediately looked at Alif not understanding. "What do you mean by Alif?"

Smiling knots, he pulled Fira's hand to get closer to her. His empty left hand was raised to gently stroke the delicate skin of the back of Fira's hand carefully.

"Mas didn't know what they were cooking that day because what Mas had in mind at the time was how the taste of the cuisine Fira was making. It is precisely Mas yunya there is chili in their cooking after hearing Annisa protest to you." That means that at that time Alif did not glance at other dishes and only thought about his cooking. Thinking of that ridiculous thought Fira's face suddenly flushed brightly, what did Mas Alif mean just by thinking about his unpleasant cooking?

"Don't joke Mas, everyone clearly knows that Fira's cooking is far from delicious and not worth eating." Fira wanted to pull his hand but Alif did not let that happen. He held it firmly but made sure the strength of his hand did not injure Fira's thin hand.

"Actually still edible kok, proof Mas can spend one plate in one meal." Smiling knots, "Nothing is clearer than Mas that your cooking is better than the first time cooking. I'm happy because you've finally changed little by little." The first dish did taste a bit strange even though he had helped Fira determine the spices. But for the second dish that did not get anyone's guidance, it clearly tastes better than the first so when eating it Alif decided to immediately spend it right then and there.

"I don't believe." Fira muttered shyly while lowering her head, blocking Alif's vision so as not to see her face which was definitely very red now.

"You mung-"

"So everyone has gathered together, thank God that we can also directly talk about it here." Umi's surprised voice suddenly made Fira panic, he involuntarily pulled his hand quickly from the large circle of Alif's hands.

Looking at his two hands that were empty without any temperature of warmth from Fira, Alif silently stared dissatisfied at the sudden arrival of Uminya.

"Mommy, Abi." Sapa Fira was polite when she saw them finally coming home as well. Although a little reluctant because he can no longer be alone with Alif, Fira still put on a sweet smile.

"I don't think it's the right time to talk about this." Abi sat down with his tired face, quite bored with his wife's behavior that had recently become more stubborn.

Umi did not hear and was directly at the core of her conversation. "There is no need to be postponed anymore because Alif must immediately make preparations to preach Annisa, the sooner the better." Uminya made their conversation clear.

Deg

Stunned, suddenly Fira's thin smile was imprinted on her lips. He felt that his heart suddenly felt tired to face the same emotions over and over again. It felt so tired once what he expected to go away and disappear was as easy as turning the palm of the hand. This made him very helpless.

Before this conversation continued to hurt her, Fira decided to get up from her seat immediately. He reasoned to feel so uncomfortable that he had to rest in the room. Umi and Abi did not feel that there was anything strange so they just let her go to her room.

Seeing Fira's dim face, Alif knew that at this time he must be very disappointed to hear Umi's plan. Similarly, Alif, he is also as disappointed as Fira. He wondered in his heart that would Umi and Abi not be able to see him if the two sons and daughters they had raised liked each other?

"Umi," Before Umi continues this conversation Alif first took over.

"Do you know if when I decided to cancel my marriage with Zahra 3 nights earlier I had already performed Istikharah prayers. The answer to my Istikharah prayer is always the same girl and it happens for 3 nights in a row." He said, waking up from his seat he immediately pulled out a special hospital envelope that he had kept for almost a month. Then, he put it on the table so that it can be seen by both parents.

"I'm grateful that my istikharah prayer answer has led me to discover a secret that all this time I was just a stranger here."

Guv

Instantly, Umi and Abi could not say anything after hearing Alif's usual sharp and relaxed voice. He acted as if those words were just ordinary words that were often spoken every day.

Smiling knots, "Umi, the girl I've been fond of all this time is your daughter and not the others. The girl I want to marry is your daughter and not someone else. And the girl who answered my Istikharah prayer is your daughter and not someone else." He spoke softly, as softly as possible. He wanted to say it in earnest and convince them both that he was very sure of what was coming out of his lips. He was very serious about wanting to justify Fira, making things much easier so that he could protect Fira, keeping her there so that she would always be by his side under any circumstances. If he could, he wanted to take Fira to a place where only the two of them could occupy him.

"So, I really hope that Umi and Abi will bless the two of us to live together. Likes and sorrows, we will live harmoniously as you both live life. Rest assured, your daughter will be fine when living with me later." Alif really hopes that both of his adoptive parents will approve of his relationship with Fira. Giving them a relieved smile as he saw when he looked at Abi Zahra when he saw Razi. It was the kind of relief he was very much looking forward to.

After giving up his surprise, Alif did not wait for a long time to stay with them in the living room. He said his greetings and intended to follow Fira who he believed was sad in his room.

After Alif left, Umi and Abi still could not say anything after seeing the surprise clearly plastered on the table. It was indeed just a paper that was light and very easily blown by the wind, but somehow for Umi and Abi it was the hardest thing in their lives.

"Although quite surprised but honestly far from the heart I am very relieved if my daughter will live with the son I have raised and educated myself." Abi muttered in relief which was of course heard by Umi.

Umi heard it of course but she still could not say anything for now.
