The Substitute Bride

Chapter 16 (Crocodile Tears)

"Busyet by now, Ta. After fighting the same thugs where else can bruise like this?"

Tasya was busy compressing the slightly purplish bruises. The girl was not surprised enough by the bruise on Tami's shoulder. He has been accustomed to treating wounds on the body of his best friend this one even since they were still sitting in school. Tasya is well acquainted with temperament, Tami. In front of his family Tami could have shown his spoiled nature plus crybaby, but another story if faced with oppression. Tami is not a professional martial artist, but he could be hurt to defend women from the oppression of the bullies in school.Even he sat sweetly in the guidance and counseling room with some troublemakers to listen to free disconcerting lectures earlobes. Tasya guessing-defending an oppressed woman-is a form of expression of Tami's remorse for once failing to protect her mother from her ex-husband's crimes.

"I've been retired a long time fighting with thugs. It's penance, it's insyaf" he said half annoyedly.

The truth was that she was not upset by the question Tasya asked, but considering who had made her turn into a feminine girl really changed her mood. Adam once said that he only needed to be a woman because Adam would protect her by keeping all her heart, but in reality it is just nonsense because in the end he is also the one who hurt his heart and feelings.

"Yes, Ta. Forgiver. Don't insist on it, you'll be hard. Don't you run out of the village office, will you?"

Tami looked at Tasya with her eyebrows raised. "Well?" tanyanya, wonder.

"Bikin certificate is not able to. Can't move on from him."

Tami directly landed her punch on Tasya who was already laughing like mbak Kunti. Tami tells herself that her heart is fine now. But what Tasya said again disturbed his feelings. Then is it true that the cry of his soul, if Alvin is just an escape. Although that was true, he was determined to make Alvin the most beautiful escape of his life.

"Yes, yes. The first bruise on my shoulder was not because of the same fight thugs but because of the same wall bump and the second I had moved on from him. If you ever talk about him again, I'm sure you'll sleep in this hospital as a patient and I'm sure you won't remember how chronologically you got there." mencamTami fiery.Talking about "he" really ignited his anger.

"Calm down, Ta. Istigfar, many things about Allah. Do not let anger destroy your soul. Breathe in, ek outin. Take a breath, get out" Tasya said as he raised his hand along with breathing air and then removing carbon dioxide.

Tami mimicked what Tasya exemplified while having much to do with his heart.

Astagfirullahhaladzim, astagfirullahhaladzim. Calm down, Tamj, calm down. Remember Tami, now the devil must be making a bonfire in your heart. If you keep manas they can burn satay there while partying ria.

"It's quiet? " tasya asked if her best friend had returned to cold mode.

Tami inhaled once more and then exhaled slowly. A smile on his face. Perhaps the devil has folded the tent and not become a camp, failed to bring the victory trophy.

"If it's calm, can not tell the chronological story why it can get bruised gini?"

Tami breathed for a moment and began to tell stories.

"So gini, Shay. Last morning after dawn prayer I went to the house of in-laws to ask for materials to make omelets. Omelet the first is charred, the second is salty, the third is ome..."

Tasya quickly cut Tami's conversation. If left to talk all the frills that are not important will also be told. Truly wasting his interlocutor's time.

"Stop-stop, Dad. If you tell them everything, an hour might not be over. The point is the story of the scene when you just fall. Don't tell long."

"Oh that, this morning I was the same Mas Alvin fell down the stairs because my legs landed in the wrong place, as a result of my back pegged on the wall."

"Keep why not compress from this morning? Doctor Alvin's bruising too?" ask Tasya streak.

"Yester on Mas Alvin's back I've been compressing. I did not compress the bruise because this morning it came directly from a patient who had a minibus accident. So busy, no time."

"Don't you ask to be compressed by doctor Alvin at home?"

Tami. "She's nawarin anyway, but if the press had to undress first I jump from the chair."

Tasya gawked in disbelief. She knew that Tami never opened her aura in front of a man who was not a mahram, but the same time her own husband was embarrassed. Heh, there's only this Tami.

Tami knew that God tested his servant by presenting a special feeling that slowly slipped into an empty space called the heart. His mother once said that when we meet the wrong man then all the things that exist in man are considered perfect. He is the most perfect Adam on the earth of God. The wheel of life feels like it doesn't work without it. But sometimes therein lies the negligence of the human child. He forgets that there is a noblest man whose love is infinite to his people. Even at the end of his life his love grew greater for his people.

Yes, Prophet. He taught people to love each other, to love each other. He is the most glorifying woman.It has become an obligation to place love to Allah and the Messenger of Allah in a special place in the heart.However when the wrong love is present, then it will disturb and even slowly seize the special place. Tami had felt it, like not resting on the earth again when stepping.

But if the man is the right person then he will wholeheartedly fight for you. He is not perfect and you will hate that imperfection, but believe that true love has a special place as well, but will not take over a place that is not his right.

Tami doesn't want to be selfish. It never crossed his mind to make Alvin a place to escape. His determination was only one moment to accept the request of his parents to be a bride that brings happiness to everyone by connecting the cord of friendship that was almost broken.

Married to his future sister-in-law - let alone Alvin's love of dying with his sister - makes Tami have to try more to captivate the man. He is not sure what the reason Karina dumped the man who desperately fought for his love, but one thing he knows that the man has been legally a perfecter of half his religion. Alvin has rights over her and she has rights over her husband. And one of those rights is the right to replace Karina's privileged position in Alvin's heart. He took this decision not one-sided from his heart, but he discussed it first with his Lord.

"Hey, Ta. Bengong. Again, what the hell?" tasya asked as he patted Tami's cheek.

Tami jumped in shock, after almost five minutes the girl only realized that the bag containing ice cubes that had been attached to her shoulder was already hanging sweet on her father's face.

"Subhanallah, here's the child." Tami grumbled in annoyance.

In a hurry he took a mirror to see the condition of his cheek. Tasya just frowns not clearly see the panic of Tami.

"Oh Allah, gini red sampe, Shay." Tami did not stop mumbling while taking the powder to touch up.

"Who told you to dream until you don't remember the world?" tasya said with a plain face, "Who is it? Doctor Alvin, huh?"

Tasya's question was to let him evaporate in the air. He was too busy polishing the powder on his reddened cheeks. Though before going to meet Tasya, he fought hard to steal free time to learn a simple make up tutorial. Really make this girl's blood rise. Fortunately he was already insyaf, if not can be rempeyek him.

"Eh, wait a minute" Tasya said as she held back the tip of Tami's shirt. "Where are you? Very rushed."

"You are giving lunch to my beloved husband" Tami replied with a glare.

Tami deliberately emphasized the words of my beloved husband because he knew very well that the girl in front of him was already very keen on marriage. Thought marriage is easy times, lha make breakfast for her husband just hard to ask for forgiveness. Tami sneered in her heart. More precisely the scorn he was pointing to himself. But the reaction that awaited Tami did not appear. Tasya remained firm with a line of sweet smiles that adorned her face. Not as annoying as usual. Perhaps the girl was tired of looking for a soul mate who never sent God.

As Tami prepared to leave the hospital staff's dugout her steps were again stopped by Tasya's handrails on her arm.

"Otherwise, Shay?" tami began to lose patience.

Tasya raised his palm into the air.

"Where's the payoff?"

Tami rolled her eyeballs. It turns out that Tasya again needs capital to find a mate. It is fitting that today he did not have a story session like the usual days.

"You just count how much in total, I'll pay in your wedding envelope."

Tami passed by leaving Tasya who had already blown his lips.

"Patience, Tasya, patience. You are the one who wants to get married so yes just accept it with the air if anyone offends you about the wedding." said Tasya monologue himself.

.....

Tami walked down the hospital hallway excitedly. With the exception of his aching back, all these things throughout the day warmed his heart. There was a feeling he had never felt before when others were talking about Alvin. His heart is like a flower that blooms mulsi.

While wailing his eyes lurked to and fro looking for the whereabouts of a man who slowly but surely slipped in his heart. The man whose name he always mentioned in prayer in the third of the night even though sometimes the man made him inflamed because of his indifferent and heartless attitude.

Tired of walking around every corner in the hospital, Tami decided to shift her steps to her husband's room. Perhaps the man was resting after four hours in the operating room.

As Tami's steps were nearly six steps away from the door, her two compact legs came to a halt. He stared there while looking straight ahead. A woman he knew was standing right in front of the door. The woman looked surprised, but only for a moment. A beautiful smile adorned her charming face moments later.

Tami swallowed her saliva and returned the woman's smile.

"Assalamu'alaikum, brother Mira." Sapa Tami with courtesy.

He knew the woman. How not, even when not married to him - Alvin praised his alertness and agility in the operating room and compared him to him. Of course, even Tami could see the enormous professionalism the woman had. He prefers to accompany Alvin on the operating table rather than sitting sweetly caring for his son who is lying in the treatment room.

"Wa'alaikumussalam, Tami" he replied with a sweet, timeless smile from his face. "From Doctor Alvin, huh?"

"Yes." Yeah."

"Doctor Alvin again prayed in the mosque. You just wait inside, at least he'll be back soon."

Tami nodded in agreement.

"Tami want to eat lunch for Doctor Alvin?"

"Yes." Yeah."

"Sister also ran out of food into the. I cooked a lot at home this morning. Because most of them are sisters, just bring them here rather than rubbing them at home." explained Mira.

Perhaps the woman was not happy to see Tami who brought a lunch box, so she explained that Tami did not misunderstand.

"You made him eat, yeah. Poor he must have been exhausted after the surgery. Brother go first yes. Assalamu'alaikum."

"Wa'alaikumussalam."

After her greeting was answered, the woman passed leaving Tami. By setting a lightning-fast step Tami entered Alvin's room. The girl was so curious about the contents of the lunch box that Mira meant.

One minute...

Two minutes...

Five minutes...

Ten minutes...

Even the clockwork felt slow as Tami looked at the contents of the box from Mira. Compared to the contents of his stock box, Mira had like the sky and his own in the earth. It sinks and is buried under a cold layer of soil. A comparison that is not comparable.

All of a sudden, the girl rattled herself while staring at the slices of her homemade food. Oh Tami, regrets do come later. Why also do you arrogantly refuse the offer of cooking lessons by your three mothers? Now get ready to write them an apology letter.
