THE BEST BROTHERS

S4 Chapter 19 "Back Home" The Best Brother

Najwa has been in the hospital for 3 days. Finally Najwa today allowed Doctor Luthfi to go home, of course it was also due to orders from Doctor Habibi. Annisa styled all of Najwa's clothes aided by Arsyad. Najwa saw only his mother and brother who were busy preparing for his return home. Annisa and Arsyad occasionally show their romance in front of Najwa. Najwa just smiled seeing her parents happy like that.

"Mother, Abah, forgive Najwa. Najwa always makes you sad. Abah, what is this thing called sincere? I spoke sincerely of taking Dio off, but this heart could not at all. L loved her. Love her so much, forgive Najwa, mother, Abah. Najwa can't, really can't" Najwa murmured.

Doctor Habibi enters Najwa's room. Today is also her last day in Indonesia. He wanted to say goodbye to his mother and brother, especially to Najwa. Because tomorrow he must have left for Budapest, following papah and opanya, who is setting up a hospital there.

"Assalamualaikum" Habibi said.

"Wa'alaikumsalam" answered Arsyad, Annisa, and Najwa.

"How, Ainun, is it okay? Glad to be home?" ask Habibi.

"Yes, Thank God, Doc. Yeah, happy, of course. I missed home too, doc," said Najwa.

"For your health, if you are sick, I am not here anymore" Habibi said.

"Doctors go abroad?" ask Najwa.

"Yes, I have to go there tomorrow morning. Actually I still want to be here, but papah and opa have told me to go there" Habibi replied.

"Then did the doctor go there?" ask Najwa.

"My friend, he died 2 years ago" Habibi replied.

"Oh, sorry, doc," said Najwa.

"It's okay" Habibi replied.

"It is sad, doc, if we are left behind our loved ones and loved ones" said Najwa.

"Yes, Ainun. Have you ever been abandoned by someone you love so much?" ask Habibi.

"Yes, ever. Ummiku, I haven't had a chance to make her happy, but she has left me" replied Najwa.

"And now, Dio has left me, Doc," the words were only in Najwa's heart.

"Oh, so mom?"ask Habibi.

"Abah sama mama, remarried during Najwa class 2 Junior High. After 2 years of death, '" replied Arsyad.

"Oh, so it's like that. But, Najwa is very similar to mother," said Habibi.

"Indeed, we are similar, from the little Najwa many say that Najwa looks like me, Doc" said Annisa.

"True, Abah is a match with mother, his son is similar, anyway. He said, if one in the family there is a soul mate Abah," said Habibi.

"That means you'll be a match for Ainun, you're just like Abah's face, a bit like, anyway," Annisa slit.

"Ah, mother could have, don't make me kegeeran mother. Where could Ainun be my soul mate. Yes, although I wish mother. But, all God has arranged, we can only pray and ask, right, Ainun?" Habibi.

"Yes, it's like that, Doc. Well, how long do we want to date, if our duty is only as a guardian mate people want how else? Isn't that right, Doc?" Najwa.

"Yes right, yes we just pray, just once, we will be found again later," said Habibi.

"Yes, Doc. Who knows the doctor there can be a mate," said Najwa.

"So, sometimes God meets his soul mate in a unique way, sometimes also by way of coercion, because through matchmaking, sometimes by way of instant, just met 1 month, the next month married. Yes that's a soul mate. And, there is no harm either way, we hope to be a match with whom. Like the Doctor, who now hopes to mate with me. But, don't know later. Only God knows everything, because God's soul mate, death, and sustenance know" replied Najwa.

"The "perfect answer. I'm getting sure I want to ask you to be my soul mate. Maybe Abah and Mother allow, but not necessarily God allows, and I also know, behind all that, there is your heart, your heart that will determine, which will determine, and I will wait for God to open your hearts for me to stop by, Ainun" Habibi said.

"Yes, we also need an introduction. The doctor doesn't know me yet, doesn't know if there's a past or not in my heart and in my life. And so I did, all I knew from the doctor was the present situation, not knowing and knowing any more. Not that love must also know each other first, baby also must know each other first. The saying goes, "Not knowing, not loving." Isn't that what it is, Doc?" Najwa.

"It's true Najwa. Hopefully, we're a match, and hopefully when I get back here, you haven't got another guy. If you have, then you are not my match, Ainun," said Habibi.

"Yes, Doc. Yes, we can only accept what God wants for us, Doc" replied Najwa.

As Najwa and Habibi get closer, they exchange stories about their daily activities while waiting for Annisa and Arsyad to pack Najwa's belongings.

"Will you go home to pick up the driver?" ask Habibi.

"Yes, but still in Arkan school, yes right, Abah also wants to take care of Najwa's care administration," replied Arsyad.

"I'll take you, Abah? All of you want to say goodbye to opa, tomorrow I have to go abroad," pinta Habibi.

"How, Najwa?"ask Arsyad.

"As for Abah, the important thing is that I go home, Abah is not at home" replied Najwa.

"You, huh? I want to meet opa first, Najwa," Habibi's pinta.

"okay, deh. It's a pain for doctors" Najwa said.

"It's often okay too, Ainun. If I'm still here, baby today is my last day here" Habibi said.

"Yes, it's all for the career of the Doctor, the parents told him that, which means it's the best for the doctor" Najwa said.

"Yes, too" Habibi replied.

"Oh, yeah. Is she ready?"ask Habibi.

"Here, this will go to the administration, take care of the administration," replied Arsyad.

"Change, it's yuk, go home. Habibi has taken care of it all" Habibi said.

"Dok, don't be like that. Abah, don't like it, Abah has been a hassle, doctor," Arsyad said.

"Change, don't think about it. Abah, mother, and you Ainun, don't ever think I'm doing all this because I want to ask Ainun to be mine. No, I'm not like that. This was all, because Ainun was already a part of this hospital. Ainun who was able to restore the smiles of all my patients, whenever my patients would undergo chemotherapy or surgery, all the spirit because Ainun was their encouragement. Either way, Ainun's heart when making them smile was fine or not. This is all I do for the services of Ainun who have provided motivation and passion for children" explained Habibi.

"But I'm sincere, Doc," said Najwa.

"I'm also sincere. And, when you're completely healed. I beg you, keep the fables in this hospital for children, also in the halfway house that Doctor Wulan manages. I've talked about all this to Doctor Wulan, later Doctor Wulan who arranged everything" Habibi said.

"Okay, I'll try 1 week once or twice to fill the fairy tale here, Doc" said Najwa.

"Yes, thank you, Ainun, just as much as you," Habibi said.

Akmal takes Najwa home. Akmal did not expect, Najwa also wanted to be delivered by him to his home. Najwa was sitting in the back with his mother, while Arsyad was sitting next to Akmal who was driving his car. Every now and then Akmal sees Najwa Dau in his rearview mirror.

"If I'm not going abroad, I'll propose to you as soon as possible, Ainun. But, I don't want to disappoint papah and opa, they ask me to take care of the hospital there," Akmal murmured with an occasional look at Najwa from the rear-view mirror.
