WRONG MARRIAGE

161.

Zalfa pushed the door and entered the house. “Mas Ismail!” call Zalfa straight into her brother's room. Ishmael was half lying down and fed by Tini.

Zalfa sat down on the side of the bed. “Yes Allah, Mas Ismail is sick how not to forget me? Body Mas hot like this.” Zalfa touched Ishmael's arm.

Ishmael, who looked pale, looked back at Zalfa calmly. “Not to overdo it. It's all right. Just a fever. Yesterday also called the doctor.”

Zalfa glanced at the table at the side of the bed. On the table there are several blue plastic bags typical given by doctors that contain medicinal pills.

“But not all this time Mas always ngabarin me with Mas condition? Why not just forget me now?” Zalfa still looked worried.

“Udah no Tini take care of me.”

Zalfa turned towards Tini. The one who looked down timidly, his face red. Zalfa felt strange about Tini's attitude, why Tini seemed to blush when their views met.

“Tini, as long as I'm not around, Mas Ismail is okay, right?”

“No, kok, sis. Mas Ismail just a normal fever,” replied Tini awkwardly.

Tini's sudden attitude turned timid, making Zalfa wonder. But Zalfa did not want to express his curiosity for fear that Tini would be offended. Zalfa stared at the contents of the plate in Tini's hand which was still a mouthful.

“Hey, where were you taken? Kok, not bribed to Mas Ismail, it will still be a mouthful again,” Zalfa chirped as Tini got up to stand about to leave.

“Oh. Yes.” Tini returned and then thrust a final mouthful into Ishmael's mouth. His hand trembled so much that his spoon also shook.

“Aduh, Tini. Why are you shaking like this? Here let me take a bribe.” Zalfa took over the spoon from Tini's hand and then fed it to Ishmael's mouth.

After he finished his meal and finished with a sip of drinking water, Ismail looked at Zalfa and Tini alternately. Then he said, “Zalfa, do you agree that Mas married Tini?”

Zalfa surprised. The question is like a fairy tale. How could her brother hope to propose to Tini? Is this what causes Tini's behavior to become strange and always timid?

“This may be too fast,” continued Ismail. “But my togetherness with Tini made us feel close, complementary, and in need of each other. Gradually our feelings are united and maybe it will be better if we make this relationship more beautiful in marriage.”

“Today, Tini took care of me, took care of me, even like my own wife would be. It might not be good if we stay together in this relationship, and it would be better to be grounded instead?” continue Ismail.

“Mas, I know Tini very well. She's a good woman. Even though he's far below me, he's very good. Yes, he is good. This is not just good news for me. But also part of my happiness,” replied Zalfa.

“Still, yes!”

Zalfa nodded. He looked towards Tini who was still looking down. “Tini, come here!”

Tini's approaching.

“I am very happy if you accompany my sister,” Zalfa said.

Tini still lowered her head without saying anything.

Zalfa understood Tini's attitude. It's only natural that Tini behaves like that. She was originally a domestic assistant there, the relationship certainly made her feel awkward, even her age was still quite young because it was not even twenty years old.

“Do you agree with Mas Ismail?” statement Ask Zalfa.

“Don't ask him that again. We've talked about this before. And Tini agrees,” says Ismail.

“Oooh.. Pantesan now Mas Ismail already do not want to know me about his condition, it turns out there is already a special person who noticed him here. Hayooo...” Zalfa mocked Tini and Ismail while laughing.

Ismail chuckled back, but Tini only smiled with his face down and blushed in embarrassment.
