The Step Sister of Tiri

299. S2 - Akmal wants to meet

“Hira, let's eat first! Invite your husband too,” call Umi Rikha when he sees his son and daughter-in-law still sitting on the front porch.

"Yes, Umi" said Hira who then invited the husband to dinner.

At the dining table there are already abi, umi and Khairi—kak Hira, who just happened to arrive with his wife.

"What do you want to wear, Mom?" ask Hira slowly. However, it could still be heard by everyone who was there.

"Just use the fish, baby," answered Arslan who made Hira glare at her eyes.

She already said that if at the cottage do not call 'honey' but the husband seems to forget. Until in front of both parents still call like that. Arslan who was aware of his mistake also looked nervous. He just answered without looking around.

"Ma– means fish, D–dhek." Arslan looked stiff as he called his wife with that call. He couldn't, rather unusual.

"It's okay, Dhek. What's the problem with calling baby. We all know, really!" said Khairi—kakak first Hira— in a seductive tone.

"Apaan, anyway, Brother. Brother eat only, don't talk much," interrupted Hira made everyone in the room laugh.

Although in the ears it sounds strange with the call, they are happy to see the romance shown by Arslan and Hira. Everyone continued to eat quietly, until finally everything was done as well.

“Sa ... Dhek, where's the drink?” pinta Arslan was immediately taken by Hira.

"Already, call dear is also okay.than stiff so. Don't mind Hira, she's shy. Abi also does not want, if until his daughter-in-law feels uncomfortable in this house," said Khairi.

"Already, Brother. Brother enjoy eating it," interrupted Hira with annoyance.

"Khairi don't bother your sister, continue" said Abi, who then drank the drink. "But Abi agreed with what your brother said. Abi doesn't want Abi's daughter-in-law to be uncomfortable in this house. Just call it as you want."

"Yes, Abi."

"By the way Nadhif didn't come home, Umi?" ask Hira.

He actually also missed his second brother, who is currently abroad for college.

"Sister you're on a lot of errands so can't go home. He's gonna be very busy, besides college, he's got to work." Hira nodded, the woman was very amazed at her brother, who was currently taking a master's degree abroad.

After finishing the dinner, everyone returned to their respective activities. Khairi returned to the mosque, there were still some things he had to take care of, while Abi Hasan and Umi Rikha were relaxing in the living room. Arslan was trying to help Khairi. However, forbidden by abi because he knew, the son-in-law was also tired. A day of work plus a trip here, let the man rest.

"Darling, about our wedding, you want when and how?" adam asked as they slept.

Zea seemed to think for a moment then replied, "Actually I have not thought about it until now, Brother. I'm still thinking about college."

"Didn't you want us to have a party? Are you ashamed of my situation like this?" adam asked in a sad tone, looking at his feet that felt hard to move.

"It's not like that, brother. Like our plan at the beginning. If I want it later, after college I'm done, we'll talk about marriage. For now just leave it like this. Not out of embarrassment or anything, but I want to get it done one by one."

Adam nodded, since his feet could not walk, he was often offended by even simple words. He had tried to forget about it, but everything was not as easy as he thought. The man also often felt insecure.

"Yes, it's late. Let's go to sleep!"

Zea nodded, then slept in her husband's arms. The two have not spent the first night. That's because Adam's leg has not healed properly. Both also do not want to feel forced, let over time make them happy.

"Do you need Papa to go to the hospital?" ask Papa Hanif.

"No need, Pa. Papa must have done a lot of work. Papa also helped Adam to run the restaurant. Adam apologized, it was too much trouble Papa," said Adam who felt guilty to his parents.

"What are you talking about? No one feels bothered, as long as you can recover quickly, Papa is happy."

"Of course, Pa. I'll try to get well soon."

Hanif went to the office. Adam went to check on Zea alone because Kinan, had to prepare a tahlilan event for the in-laws later that night, which was still on the sixth day.

While on his way to the hospital, Adam's cell phone rang. There was an incoming call from an unknown number. Despite the hesitation, he still picked it up, afraid that it was an important call.

"Hello, assalamualaikum."

"Waalaikumsalam, with Adam's brother?" ask the person across the phone

"Yes, I'm alone. Who is this with?"

"Good day, sir. We from the police would like to say if brother Akmal wants to see you. He is currently in the hospital, which is near the police station."

"Akmal is in the hospital? What do you mean it's Akmal my half-brother?" ask Adam who wants to confirm his hearing.

He did not know about the state of his half-brother. All the man knew was that Akmal had been arrested by the police, it was saha. Papa Hanif who deliberately covered everything from Adam.

"Good, Sir. I'll be there later. I am currently going to the hospital to check. Maybe it'll just get there."

"Yes, sir, it's okay. All right, sir, thank you in advance, assalamualaikum."

"Getishalight."

"Who's calling, brother?" zea asked while looking at her husband.

"Police, they said that Akmal wants to meet. He is currently in the hospital. Do you know what Zea she's sick of?"

"I don't know, Brother. I don't know him. I also didn't ask papa and mama, they hid everything."

AdaM just nodded and then looked out the window. Something was stuck in his mind. She fears that both her parents are involved in the cause of Akmal's hospital admission. The man immediately brushed aside what he had thought. It must be just his fear.

"What's wrong, brother? Looks like Brother is very upset. Didn't Akmal also have the same evil brother, until Brother like this. Why are you thinking too?"

“No way Akmal is Brother. Even though there was no blood flowing between us at all, but for Brother he was still a brother. Regardless of how he looked at brother."

"Well, brother, but don't overdo it. Later even brother who will be hurt more. Big Brother knows for himself how cruel they were to the same big brother all this time. Even when little brother has been expelled, how about getting big now."

"Already, Mama also never taught us to take revenge on others. Especially people we know. As for what they get, let God give it. We, as ordinary people, can only pray for them to become better people."

"Hopefully Brother's prayer is answered. That's if they still have a heart" said Zea tightly.

"Here, don't talk about it again. We are soon to reach the hospital. Hopefully, the results of the examination will be good. Brother can also immediately undergo therapy so as not to bother you too long."

"Son, what the hell! I never felt bothered at all. It's just that I'm happy to be with a sister like this." Zea hugged her sister and put her head on the man's shoulder.
