THE BEST BROTHERS

S3 Love For Them. Chapter 23 "Wife Candidate"

Arsyad and Annisa kiss their son, they give a unique goodbye to the office again. Arsyad walked ahead of Annisa at a rapid pace. Annisa walks quickly following Arsyad to the car park.

"Son, don't be quick, I'm in heels!"exclaiming Annisa who is still far behind Arsyad.

"Who told me to wear Heels,"tukas Arsyad while folding his hands over his stomach.

Annisa fast-tracked, with her mouth unceasingly speaking.

"Nobody told me, I like to wear heels!"annisa said in front of the face of her sister-in-law who was standing firmly in front of her car.

"Lake in!"arsyad.

"Ih, rough,"tukas Annisa.

"His proud and arrogant soul came out again, no one, do not care that I will fall for you and want to marry you, my proud and arrogant brother-in-law! Even if it happens to be married, it is because of my children and your children as well." Annisa muttered inwardly with a face that was upset with her sister-in-law.

"Why silence?"ask Arsyad.

"What am I supposed to say!"annisa hatch.

"Kok you sewot,"tukas Arsyad.

"Who sewot who, one's own rough,"tukas Annisa.

"Who is rude, indeed my way is fast, indeed I speak like this, then what is in question?"arsyad asked as he looked at the face of Annisa who was already angry at him. Annisa slightly glanced sharply at her sister-in-law.

"No need to glance,"tukas Arsyad.

"Sister, what exactly does sister want to talk about? The brother was even angry indistinctly," said Annisa.

Arsyad threw his breath out violently, he leaned himself in the car seat.

"I don't know what Almira meant by asking for all this, nor do I know why the children asked me and you to get married" Arsyad said, rubbing his face.

"I don't know either, sister," Annisa said.

"I'm not talking to you" Arsyad said.

"Yes, I'm out, I'm back in a taxi," said Annisa by opening her car door.

Arsyad held Annisa's hand, telling her to stay in the car.

"Don't come out, I want to talk" Arsyad said.

"So he said he didn't talk to me?"ask Annisa.

"Sister, let's explain to the kids that we can't get married" Annisa said.

"Yes, later we will explain, later tonight you are still staying at papah's house, right?"ask Arsyad.

"Yes, I'm still staying at papah's house, until my house is finished in order again" Annisa said.

Annisa was silent again, Arsyad was silent by looking forward, until now, Arsyad has not yet driven his car to go from Caffe Shita. They were still in the car that was still stopped in front of the caffe, until Rico saw Arsayd's car that was still in front of Caffe.

"They turned out to be talking in the car, I guess where to go" Rico muttered inwardly.

^^^^^

Annisa is still thinking of those who want Annisa and Arsyad to get married. Even Annisa is confused by her children who really want them to get married.

"Why do they want us together, brother?"ask Annisa.

"I don't know, Nis," Arsyad said.

"Sister, if they insist?"ask Annisa

"Forced us to get married" answered Arsyad

"What did you answer?"ask Annisa again.

"Forced we should get married at their request" replied Arsyad again.

"Sister, do you realize you're answering gini?"ask Annisa.

"Yes sober, Nis. Very aware," replied Arsyad.

"Son, I cannot replace Arsyil in vain in my heart, I love him so much, there is no love other than for Arsyil and my children" Annisa said.

"Sama, me too, just Almira the woman I love, there's no one else but her, even though I used to love you, but it's the wrong love, and another one, and another one, love for my two children" Arsyad said.

"Then how?"ask Annisa.

"Hows it? I don't know either, they must keep telling us to get married, Nis" Arsyad said.

"Yes, definitely Kak, they must still tell us to get married" Annisa said.

"Yes if they insist, we get married, this is all for our children, those who ask. We're getting married, but I'm sorry if I can't be the perfect husband for you" Arsyad said.

"Yes, I know, there will never be any love in our marriage brother, there is only love for them, they deserve to be happy, because the happiness of our children is to see us together, brother, although there is no love between us" Annisa said.

"Yes, right Nis, we have love, but only love for them, not for the two of us" Arsyad said.

"So?"ask Annisa.

"Yes, we do what they want, are you ready Annisa, married without any love, married but not like a married couple in general who love each other and give each other love?"ask Arsyad.

"I'm ready, brother. For the sake of those I love so much" Annisa said.

"Are you ready?"ask Annisa.

"Yes, I'm ready, I'm sorry, this is all for them" Arsyad said.

"Yes, forgive Nisa too, sister," Annisa said.

"Would you like to go to the office again?"ask Arsyad

"Yes, I'm going to the office again" replied Annisa.

"Sister to the office too, right?"ask Annisa.

"Yes, you will go to the office again, you will take your brother, you will go home" Arsyad said.

"Yes, no," said Annisa.

Arsyad drove his car to the office, unknowingly they turned out to be almost half 5 in the afternoon,

"Aren't there any jobs in the office? Or want to meet Lintang?"ask Annisa who just saw her watch,

"Why bring Lintang?"ask Arsyad.

"Sir, look what time is it?"ask Annisa while showing her a circular watch in Arsyad's hand.

"Astaghfirullah, already afternoon it turns out, already half 5 pm, yes we have been looking for the mosque only, we pray ashar, then we go straight home," said Arsyad.

"Yes, sister," said Annisa.

"It turns out our debate takes a lot of time, Nis," Arsyad's Cucoa.

"Hmmmpp," replied Annisa.

"Nis, you're okay, right?"ask Arsyad

"Yes, brother. Sister, after the mosque, take me to Arsyil's tomb, "ask Annisa.

"Yes, later sister interracial," said Arsyad.

Arsyad drove his car to the mosque. The mosque that first met Almira, Arsyad again remembered Almira while in the mosque.

Annisa and Arsyad get out of the car, Arsyad walks towards the male ablution, so does Annisa walk to the female ablution that is far from the male ablution.

After Arsyad took ablution, Arsyad entered the mosque and performed the Ashar prayer, after finishing the prayer, he sat down and prayed. Arsyad remembered Almira again, in each of his prayers, he always mentioned the name of his late wife.

"God, if I should marry Annisa, my sister-in-law, I would do it, for the sake of my children and the children of Arshil. Almira, I will grant your request, dear. I'm sorry, I married another woman, it's all because of you that I love and the children that I love as well" Arsyad muttered in his heart.

Immediately the shadow of Almira approached the reverie of Arsyad who was still sitting in the mosque. Almira, who was meeting with Arsyad, returned her prayer beads.

*Flashback On*

"*Sorry, you own this car?"ask Almira.

"Well, what's wrong, mba?"ask Arsyad.

"Thank God I finally got to meet my father" Almira said.

"I mean mba?"ask Arsyad curious.

"Sorry sir, does this belong to you?"said Mira while showing Arsyad's prayer beads.

"Alhamdulillah, did you find him? Yes, this is mine, I looked for it from yesterday. Thank you for returning it." said Arsyad.

"I found this yesterday, when you were walking this bagbih fell out of your pocket, and I took it and chased your car but it was going very fast, thank goodness I can give this back to you. This is her prayer pack," explains Almira,

Almira gave her prayer beads to Arsyad.

"Thank you mba, this is a relic from my brother mba. Again thank you," Arsyad said.

"Yes sir, thank God, I can return it before I leave for Cairo" Mira said.

"Cairo?"ask Arsyad curious.

"Yes, next week I will go to Cairo to continue my S3 in Al Azhar" Mira replied.

"Ohh, I also graduated from Al Azhar Cairo, mba," Arsyad said.

"Ohh yeah? Yes sir, I'll go home first." Almira returns home.

"Yes, thanks again. Mba can you know her name?"ask Arsyad.

"I'm Almira, just call me Mira."

"I'm Arsyad, don't call the father anymore mba, just call Arsyad," Arsyad said

"Oh yeah, I'll go home first, Arsyad," Mira said.

"Yes, Mira's heart" Arsyad said

"Assalamualaikum" said Mira.

"Wa'alaikumsalam" replied Arsyad*.

*Flashback Off*

Arsyad sobbed considering the first time he met Almira, and did not expect, from a prayer beads into a sacred bond of love.

"Mira, you can ask me to marry Annisa, you don't know what it's like, you have to fulfill your last request to Najwa and Shifa. It hurts Mira, it hurts so much. Arsyad is back.

Indeed, the atmosphere of the mosque is very quiet, there is only Annisa and Arsyad. Annisa is in the female shaf and Arsyad is in the male shaf. The room which was only in the bulkhead was wearing a sealing cloth, making the sound of Isak crying Arsyad so loud it sounded in Annisa's ears. Annisa heard all that Arsyad said, and she finally found out, this mosque is the witness of the love of Arsyad and Almira.

"Sister, I'm sorry, I'm just living up to the last wishes of Kak Mira and our children. My heart still loves my husband, and I will never love another man but my husband. My arsyil, I'm sorry, I'm going to be your sister's wife, this is all for Shifa and Dio. I'm sorry I betrayed you, Arsyil. To the end of my life, you are all I love." - muttered Annisa. He wiped away the tears that burst out from the corner of his eyes. It was so hard for Annisa's chest, to be married to her sister-in-law, who used to love her. But, now his heart belonged only to Almira, his late wife.

Annisa came out of the mosque, so did Arsyad. He came out of the mosque and took Annisa home.

They're already in the car. Annisa and Arsyad looked at each other.

"You've been crying?"ask Arsyad and Annisa at the same time.

Arsyad and Annisa just fell silent and stared at each other.

"Your eyes are puffy, sister," Annisa said.

"I know, brother misses Kak Mira, brother feels guilty with our marriage later, I am the same, brother. Especially after I married my sister again, Arsyil has become someone else to me, and there will be no way I will meet her in heaven later," Annisa said with tears returning.

"This mosque, you know Almira first, right?"ask Annisa.

"Nis, forgive brother, this is for the sake of the children and Almira's last request. You may love Arshad forever, I will not force you to love me, and you must be the same, do not force me to love you back as before, for there is only Mira in my brother's heart, she's the girl you love until now, even to the end of your time" Arsyad said.

"Yes, this mosque, witnessed the meeting of the elder brother with Almira" replied Arsyad.

"I won't force someone to love me, brother. Most importantly our children are happy with our marriage" Annisa said.

"Sister, take me to Arsyil's tomb, "ask Annisa

"Yes" replied Arsyad.

Arsyad drove his car to Arsyil's funeral. Arsyil is buried next to Andini's grave. Arriving at Arsyil's funeral, they walked in unison. Annisa rests next to her husband's headstone, Arsyad leaves her, she goes to her mother's grave.

"Syil, I'm sorry I'm going to marry Arsyad's sister. This is all because of our willing child and because of Kak Mira's last request. I know, after I got married to Arsyad, we couldn't gather in heaven. Because I've been your sister's wife. I'm sorry, Syil. I love you, I love you forever" Anmisa said with her sobs.

As Arshad prayed beside his mother's grave, he shed his tears, since the departure of Andini, Arsyil and Almira, Arshad became very fragile, and now had to accept the new reality again. He must marry his sister-in-law, the wife of the late Arsyil, his sister.

"Mom, tomorrow or the day after, Arsyad will marry Annisa, the woman whom Arsyad once loved, but Arsyad does not love her anymore" Arsyad muttered in his heart.

Arsyad took turns sitting next to Arsyil's tomb, he rubbed Arsyil's headstone. Arsyad saw Annisa crying beside her husband's grave.

"Pardon my brother, this is for the sake of your children and my children, those who want us to get married. I won't take Annisa's love from you, she'll love you forever, Shil. Sorry brother, honey. Brother will look after your children, and will look after Annisa. However, brother will never love him" Arsyad said softly.

Annisa heard what Arsyad said, she did not expect Arsyad's love. And vice versa, Arsyad will not expect his love. She hesitates about getting married without loving her partner.

"I can, live in a household just for them, not even love, let everything go as it is. I love you, Arsyil," muttered Annisa in heart.

^^^^^

It was almost evening Annisa and Arsyad had just arrived at Rico's house. Najwa and Shifa were sitting on the porch. Annisa gets out of Arsyad's car and lights them up.

"Hi, what's the mother's son doing again?"ask Annisa.

Najwa and Shifa immediately embraced Annisa who had just reached home.

"Kok mama's eyes are swollen? So, is it crying?"ask Shifa

"Yes, Aunty's crying, huh?"ask Najwa.

"No dear, it was just dust" Annisa told a lie

"Mother lies" Shifa said.

"Yes, Auntie don't lie" Najwa said.

"Mother is not lying, let's go this beautiful mother's child, go inside, because the day has begun to evening," Annisa said.

"Mother? Can Najwa call Auntie, mother?"ask Najwa.

"Of course." Annisa hugs Najwa and Shifa. Arsyad developed his gymnastics seeing the happy nawa.

"Then, can Shifa call Pakde, Abah?"ask Shifa.

"Of course you can, baby. Here are two beautiful girls Abah, hug Abah." Shifa and Najwa Menik Arsyad. Arsyad kissed his two daughters.

"Let me give in to them, yes defeat my ego. I don't need Arsyad's love, all I need is their love for us. Yes, I and Arsyad's sister." muttered Annisa who saw her daughter was happy to call Arshad with the name Abah.

"Let's go in, where are Dio and Raffi?"ask Arsyad.

"At the grass, playing ball" Najwa said.

"Have you taken a shower?"ask Annisa.

"Have dong, mother," they answered.

"Let's go in" Annisa said.

They went into the house, Arsyad closed the front door, because it was beginning to evening, Annisa went inside to clean herself, while Arsyad, who was cleaning, went into the house, he headed to the back porch calling out to Dio and Raffi who were still playing the ball in his match. Arsyad sat next to Rico

"Dio, Raffi, you're still playing ball, it's late, son. It's near abah!"exciting Arsyad

"So, are you home?"ask Raffi.

"Here sit," said Arsyad. Dio and Raffi sat next to Arsyad.

"You haven't had a shower yet" Arsyad said.

"Yes, Dio hasn't had a bath, sir," Dio said.

"Raffi hasn't, either" he said with a smile

"Don't take a shower at night" Arsyad said.

"Yes, this is going to take a shower" Dio said.

"Sana takes a shower first, Maghrib will, Abah will talk to you later" Arsyad said.

"Change?"ask Dio.

"Yes, Dio can call pakde with the name Abah, as well as Raffi, can call Aunt Nisa with the name mother," said Arsyad

"Really, sir?"ask Dio

"Yes, honey. Sana take a bath, later tonight I will talk to you all" Arsyad said.

"Ready, Abah!"say them compactly.

"Finally we become big brothers" Raffi told Dio

"Yes, brother. Come on, sister, shower!"exclaim Dio.

They went inside to clean themselves up, Arsyad was still sitting in the back garden chair with his papa.

"Syad, are you getting married to Annisa?"ask Rico.

"Bah, for the sake of our children, we will get married soon, this is also Almira's wish, reward" Arsyad said.

"Alhamdulillah, finally papah efforts are not in vain" said Rico.

"I mean papah?"ask Arsyad.

"Yes, papah has fulfilled the promise of papah to Almira, because your wife was so forced papah to look for Annisa, and brought Annisa home to marry you, even Almira was eager to see your marriage before her departure. But, that hope was lost, because all of Annisa's contacts could not be contacted. Almira finally really forced papah, if one day Annisa comes home, papah must marry you both," explained Rico.

"Did Almira really say that, pah?"ask Arsyad.

"Listen to this." Rico gives her cell phone with Almira's voice recording.

"Mas Arsyad, my dear husband, forgive me for not being able to keep you company until we grow old together, maybe you will listen to this after I leave and never come back. Arsyad, despite our brief encounter, I will always love you until God reunites in heaven. Mas, I asked you something. I really wish you could marry Annisa. She is a good woman, who can be a mother to Najwa and Raffi. I took them, and married Annisa, that's all I wanted to say and what I expected. I love you, mas." From the recording of Almira.

Arsyad wiped his tears that had fallen down his cheeks. It turns out that Almira really wants Arsyad to marry Annisa.

"Dear Almira, I will grant your request, I will marry Annisa" Arsyad said

Rico patted Arsyad on the shoulder, trying to calm his son's heart down.

"You can definitely get through all of this, let's go in already want maghrib, you haven't had a bath either, have you?"ask Rico.

"Yes, come on in, let's go in." Arsyad and Rico enter the house.

Arsyad walked into his room, he was still thinking, can he live one roof with people who do not love him? Inwardly ya wonder like that from earlier.

"Well I can, live with Annisa who doesn't love me, and I don't love her either. It's all for the sake of the children and for the sake of Almira, I ikhals married Annisa." Arsayd murmured in his heart.

^^^^^

At Arsyad's office, Lintang was still waiting for Arsyad to return to his office, from then on he asked Yulia if Arsyad had gone home what not, until Yulia was a bit sewot made.

"Sir Arsyad hasn't come home yet, if you want to leave the file here, I'll hand it over, Lin," said Yulia.

"Not later wait for Mr. Arsyad to come home" he said.

"You wanna wait till Arsyad tomorrow? It's almost 6 hours after work hours, there's no way he's coming back, what else is going with his future wife" said Ray who made Lintang more hurt. Actually Ray Sangaja made such a latitude, let him not pursue Arsyad continue.

"Makanya be a girl don't be a mistake, you are not the level of Arsyad, Lin," murmured Rayhan

"Mba Yul, it's done, right? Go home yuk," Rayhan said.

"Yes Ray sir, this is going home, the husband has already picked her up," Yulia said while showing her husband who had walked up to her using full attributes, because he had just returned home bwrtask.

"First yes, Lin, this is Mr. Arsyad's room key, Mr. Ray." Yulia deliberately gave the keys to the room Arsyad so as not to be misused by others.

"Okay, I want to go home, Lin first." Rayhan walked forward leaving the latitude.

"So Annisa is Mr. Arsyad's future wife?"latitude murmur in the heart.
