IZAL POV'S

############

My three brothers simultaneously saw me as soon as my father finished patting me on the shoulder.

"Is there a problem with you, Zal?"

I just shrugged and gave a sweet snort.

"What are you hiding from us?"

You sit back beside me.

"What do you know?"

"IMPORTANT!"

Brother Alif reprimanded me. I'm just mumbling too.

" What's wrong sir?"

Brother Andi asked.

"Izal cancelled the wedding"

"not cancel. Izal postponed it"

I defended myself.

"It's not like that you hear".

" What's up Zal?"

Brother Fian is embracing my shoulder.

"Can Izal get married at the time like he is today?"

"Will you be happy if you know you're canceling a marriage because of her?"

"Izal wants at Izal's wedding our family is cheerful, happy. Not like this now, sir".

I rubbed my face. And look at father.

"Izal wants to get well first to watch Izal's marriage. What is Izal's wish wrong?"

"What did you say to Sabina's family?"

"Izal said, if Sabina wants to wait please. But Izal couldn't determine when the wedding was. Izal wants to heal first. And if anyone else asked Sabina first, then Izal would let her go"

"Crazy you Zal. If Sabina really let you go?"

"Not Izal's soul mate. Not getting married is okay. Izal will take care of Ade until he recovers".

"Don't be like that Zal. Sabina is a girl. Like you're playing him".

"Izal explained to Sabina. That's everything for Izal.

"And what does Sabina mean to you?"

This time I was quiet for a long time.

"Once sir. Izal did not feel Bina was the perfector of Izal's life. But one thing Izal knows is that his wife can be an ex. Not with brother. There's an ex-wife, no ex-sister".

"You're still traumatized Zal?"

Brother Fian patted my shoulder again.

"No brother, Izal can already forget the betrayal of the former Izal".

"There must be something else that made you change your mind, right, Zal?"

Brother Alif asked while looking at me.

"Sabina was too involved"

"Intermed?"

"Yes brother. Bina gets angry when she finds out Izal paid Azwa's tuition. Bina was angry when she found out Izal was selling motorcycles. He said he could give it to his younger brother's motorbike if he was afraid to see it again. Crazy, right, brother? Did we buy that bike? I love Izal to sell anything".

I explained everything with a little emotion.

"Bina was also angry that Izal often visited ade. He said there was no time for him. Izal just visited ade afternoon. He's from open the cafe until it closes there. Which time is less for him?"

"Sir Alif agreed. Cancel the wedding. Not yet a wife is like that. Later brother who met his parents"

"Aliiff"

Reminds me of Alif.

"Seriously sir, such a woman will not be able to enter our family. We need loving women. Who care about each other. Not only love her husband but also her husband's brother".

You take a long breath.

"Father follow what Izal thinks is good. Who will be Izal. But please, in good words, son"

"Izal has spoken sir. But Sabina turned the facts around to her family".

"What did he tell his family?"

"The marriage was annulled because the money ran out for medical expenses".

Brother Andi cursed.

"ANDREA!"

"Let's go there Zal, let brother Andi twist that mustache of his father Sabina".

"ANDRU"

Again, he rebuked Andi.

"Kesal Andi sir".

"Izal is also upset brother. That's why Izal said it right away. Let's just say what you say is true. The money for the wedding preparations is over. So now my wedding is cancelled".

"What did they think after that?"

"Izal went right away, brother. Izal was upset, rather than Izal cursing at them Izal better go home".

"Why don't you take us there?"

"Our family is very sad. Izal can solve it himself".

"It's not finished, is it? Sabina's mother called Grandma crying about Sabina's sadness that you canceled the wedding"

"The family is full of drama, sir. Sabina also has nothing to lose. Izal never did anything beyond bounds. Izal just kissed Sabina on the cheek".

"We have to finish everything. We're going to Sabina's parents' house. Arrange it with your brother Alif".

I looked at Brother Alif who was replied by Mr. Alif with a nod. Then he stood up and went back to the hospital room.

"When can we get there, brother?"

Brother Andi asked Brother Alif.

"Tomorrow or the day after. Sure there's nothing else you're hiding Zal?"

I'm shaking.

"I don't want to say goodbye to Ade. There's an appointment tonight"

Brother Alif stood up, knocking on ade's room door. And go inside. Not long after Alif came back out. Me, Brother Fian and Brother Andi kissed Brother Alif's hand before Brother Alif left us.

"Surely kiss the cheek?"

Brother Fian teased me.

"I'm still sane brother. Know where zina and sin are"

"Aren't you interested in Sabina?"

"The first building says like. Always aggressive first. Izal accepted Bina because Izal wanted to try to open his heart"

"So all this time Bina who always acts first?"

"Yes, the time of application was Bina told her family first. There has been no conversation between us. Afraid of family embarrassment, Izal asserts Bina's willingness to do the proposal".

"What is his love for Bina like you?"

"The possessive is brother"

Brother Fian answered Andi's question.

"You want to know one more thing?"

"WHAT?"

Brother Andi and Kak Fian spoke out.

"Bina used to ride in the bathroom in Izal's room at the cafe."

"Continue?"

I smiled at the curious faces of my two brothers.

"She pura fell in the bathroom using only a towel"

"Then Zal?"

"The tyrant is not stupid. When Sabina asked Izal for help because her legs hurt. Izal called four female officers. Izal said please pick up Sabina in the bathroom and take care of her. Izal walked out of the room and let the women inside"

"Well, you're normal Zal?"

"Entah brother. Although Sabina dressed sexy and seductive in the room Izal work in the cafe. But Izal has no interest. According to Permissions such as ******".

"Hus, don't say another woman like that"

"Try sister thinks, Sabina is hijab right? Izal hasn't been his mistress. But every time he goes to Izal's room. She opened her hijab even wearing sexy clothes. What a good woman like that. So every time he came, Izal would opt out of the room. Therefore Izal likes to be in the back room near the kitchen if there is Sabina. If indeed Izal must be in the room Izal. Izal must have invited one of the employees to come in".

"Yes as well. Is there such a woman? I thought it was just in the Noveltoon short story".

"It's my sister, it's Sabina's proof"

Me and Brother Fian laughed together.

Before long the voice of Azan roared. We also prayed at the Musholla hospital. And you know what? We pray with patients of this hospital.

Someone was smiling to see us. Some just keep quiet. Some even hugged. The hospital knows us because we often visit.

It is from these patients that we realize one thing. They need attention and affection not insults or scorn. They want to be hugged and hugged instead of thrown away and left on the street.
