Assalamualaikum Ukhti
Chapter 33

A bright morning, as bright as Sir Heri's heart this morning.

The birds even chirped as if singing along to welcome the sun this morning. Even the sun had entered the room through the cracks of the window, as if greeting the owner of the room.

However, it was different with Icha this morning. Waking up with a puffy face, to get rid of it this morning Icha soaked with warm water.

This morning, Mr. Heri was sitting on the couch reading documents on his phone with hot coffee.

“For Pa,” greet Dika when he saw his papa sitting on the living room sofa.

“Morning,” her mouth put her phone on the table.

“How about your sleep last night, is it very good?” ask her sir.

Dika nodded.

“Lumayan,” sahut Dika.

“Oh okay. Papa has asked Anton to prepare all your wedding files and also prepare everything that will be brought to your candidate's house when the application later,” said Mr. Heri without further ado.

Anton is, the one who's trusted in it. Anton takes care of all that Mr. Heri needs if out of town.

“Ago fast, Pa?”

“Faster is better. There is a saying, don't procrastinate on something good.”

“Iya. True too,” added Dika agreed with the words of the papa.

Ms. Sintya had just come out of her room, she frowned in surprise seeing this morning. Her son and husband chatted warmly on the sofa, unlike usual her husband was always cold towards Dika.

“For Ma,” saya Dika.

“Beauty. Where's your sister?” tanya Bu Sintya has not seen Icha since.

“Icha here Ma,” says Icha who just came down the stairs.

Ms. Sintya looked behind her.

“May,” saya Icha.

“Morning is also a pity,” says her mama.

They all stepped towards the dining table, to have breakfast together.

Today, Mr. Heri is very attentive to his two children. He took the food and stuck it on their plate, because this morning his assistant cooked fried rice for breakfast.

Again Bu Sintya frowned in wonder, as did Dika. He was so amazed to see the change of his papa this morning which changed drastically, from the previous always indifferent and cold to his children, except Anggun.

“Oh yes, Ma. Starting today, you should prepare everything you need for your application later. Mama ask for help to the people in this house, do not do it alone.”

Ms. Sintya looked at her husband confusedly.

“Lamaran?” ask Ms. Sintya.

“Iya. Soon our sons and daughters will be married.”

Dika frowned in wonder, as well as Bu Sintya. Only Icha was not surprised and tried to be calm.

“Princess? Mean Mas? I don't understand which daughter you're talking about,” asked Ms. Sintya.

“So this .. let Papa explain first,” said Mr. Heri.

Dika looked suspiciously at Icha who was still busy feeding food into her mouth, accidentally blind they met each other. However, Icha quickly shifted her gaze.

“Papa match Icha and Aditya and the wedding plan Abang and Icha carried out simultaneously.”

“Hah! Why is it like this? Papa last night didn't talk about this!” dika protest.

“This Papa wants to talk about it to you,” said pek Heri relaxed.

“This is all Icha's own request to Papa, last night he told Papa. If, he doesn't want to be lived by his brother getting married. Therefore, Icha says he wants to be matched. Isn't that Icha?” heri looked at her daughter.

“Icha! Is it true that you asked Papa to match you?” tanya Dika looked at her sister in full search.

Icha looked at her brother and then alternated with her Papa.

Icha nodded slowly.

“Ich. Why don't you talk about this to Mama?” ma'am Sintya asked a little annoyed with her daughter.

“Pardon Icha, Ma.”

“Already. You've heard, haven't you. This is Icha's own request,” by Heri.

Dika put the spoon roughly, then left the dining table.

“Abang!” call Mr. Heri with a loud enough voice.

Dika stopped his steps.

“Papa not done talking ... Back sitting!”

Dika sighed violently, then sat back in the chair.

“Mama is disappointed with you Icha,” said Bu Sintya looking at his daughter.

“Ma, already! This is Papa and Icha's decision. So don't blame the princess, Papa!” firmly Mr. Heri.

“Huft .. alright. If this is indeed Icha's own decision, Mama just come along.”

Ms. Sintya finally resigned.

“Nah that's so good. So, Papa planned if the wedding reception Icha and Dika will be held in the same place.”

“How?” ask her sir.

“If this is better for Icha, Brother just agree Pa!” still staring at his sister who had just looked down.

“Good. If all agree Papa will ask the person who takes care of everything and you Dika, tell the family Indah, if Papa is ready to want to meet them.”

“Iya Pa,” sahut Dika netranya can not be seen his sister.

“Then, Papa wants to go to the office first.”

Dika and Icha take turns kissing the back of the hand.

After Mr. Heri was gone from their sight, Ms. Sintya and Dika were still staring at Icha asking for an explanation.

Dika suspects there is something wrong behind him and has something to do with his sister's silence since yesterday.

Icha still lowered her head, not daring to look at her brother.

“Ma, Bang. Icha want to go to work first,” pamit Icha want to move from his seat.

“Wait Icha. Mama wants to talk seriously with you!”

Hearing her mother's words, Icha sat back in her chair.

“Icha, Mama is not angry. But, now Icha has to speak honestly to Mama. Is this true of all Icha who want?” asked Ms. Sintya still could not believe it.

Icha did not answer, just looked down silently.

“Icha, are you deaf? Mama is talking!” bentak Bu Sintya's.

Icha closed her eyes to hear her mother's scream.

“Ma ..” call Dika.

Bun Sintya looked at Dika, who shook his head.

Ms. Sintya let out a rough sigh, then got up from her seat and stepped towards her room.

Icha looks like she wiped her tears.

“Icha, let's go. Brother will take you,” take Dika.

Icha nodded.

Dika first moved from his seat, then Icha also followed his brother.

On the way to his workplace, Icha was quiet. He leaned on the shoulder of the chair while looking out the window.

“Icha still remember! In the past, if there was a problem at school or Icha in the bullies. Icha always complains to Brother, Icha always cries in the arms of Brother.”

Dika glanced at the glance of his sister who was still staring out the window.

“But, now Icha is an adult huh. Even taking the decision on your own, Icha is great! Brother is proud of Icha,” added Dika again.

“If the load is on its own responsibility, it will definitely feel heavy. But, if together with facing it will definitely be light, it can even reduce it.”

Dika knows the resigned breath, let alone see Icha just silent do not answer.

Actually Icha took pains to hold back her tears so as not to go down, especially in front of her Brother.

“It's been Icha's decision to marry Bang,” said Icha slowly, while holding her voice.

“But, why suddenly, deck?” ask Dika.

Icha did not answer.

“Huftt .. well, that's Icha's decision. Brother hopes this is purely Icha's own will, not someone else's encouragement!”

“Pardon Icha Bang,” Ogre Icha.

Dika glanced at the glance of her sister who wiped her tears, Dika was increasingly convinced this was not her sister's will.

There was a push from behind that forced her to get married.

Before long, they arrive at the place where Icha works.

“Thank you Bang. Icha working part, Assalamualaikum ..”

Icha kissed the back of his brother's hand.

“Waalaikumsalam .. be careful deck,” say Dika.

Icha nodded.

Icha opened the car door slowly, then closed it again. When he had not left the place, he was still staring at his sister's back. It was obvious that Icha let out a long sigh before getting into her place of work.

“I'll find out. I'm pretty sure there's someone behind you. You be patient deck, this will not be long.”

From a distance, Dika saw the new Fahry coming.

Tin! Tin!

The sound of Dika's car horn, Fahry turned to the source of the sound.

“Dika,” murmured Fahry saw the car Dika still parked on the shoulder of the front road where he worked.

Dika opened half the glass of his car, then took out a little head.

“Fahry, come here a minute.”

Dika half yelled.

Fahry nodded, with big steps Fahry met Dika.

“Iya, what's up?” asked Fahry slightly bowed.

“Log in the car for a moment. There's something I want to talk about,”.

Fahry nodded, then opened the car door. After landing his butt perfectly, Fahry closed the door again.

“What's up? It looks very serious,” asked Fahry.

“Fahry. Did Icha meet someone yesterday?” ask Dika.

Fahry seemed to think, he remembered Icha meeting with anyone yesterday.

“Sorry, I asked you. I'm just making sure, Icha met anyone yesterday.”

“It looks like Icha didn't meet anyone suspicious. Yesterday there were only customers who came, to see the book,” said Fahry.

Fahry said as is, if Icha did not meet anyone but the store customer.

Dika nodded in understanding.

“Alright then. Can I ask for your help?” ask Dika

“Bby. Hopefully I can help,” said Fahry.

“Please keep an eye on my sister, tell me if she meets a suspicious person.”

Fahry frowned.

“Sorry if I ask this. What happened to Icha?”

“Entahlah. These two days my sister changed, more quiet than usual.”

“God willing I will always keep him from evil, if there is anything suspicious I will contact you directly.”

“Thanks a lot Fahry. Sorry I always bother you,” said Dika.

“It's okay Dika. I am very grateful to you, have helped you.”

“Good. If there's nothing else to talk about, I'm at work,” said Fahry.

“Iya, Fahry. Sorry to interrupt your time.”

“No need to apologize,” says Fahry.

“Assalamualaikum ..” Fahry said hello.

“Waalaikumsalam.

After talking for a while in Dika's car, Fahry entered the store.

Once inside, Fahry wanted to put his little bag in his closet.

The closet is located in the back, there is a special room for store employees. However, his steps came to a halt when he faintly heard the sound of sobs from the direction of the bathroom.

"Who is crying?" ask in the heart.

As he remembered not seeing Icha when he went inside earlier, he only saw Santi and a few other employees.

"This seems to be Icha's voice," he murmured again.

"What's Fahry?" diana asked the shop owner's wife.

"Astaghfirullah .. mother," said the little Fahry while stroking his chest.

"What are you doing?" ask Diana again.

"Sorry, Mom. I heard sobs coming from the toilet, so I stopped, Mom."

"Who's in the toilet?" ask Diana marketing.

because before, he was looking for Icha but did not find it. He saw Fahry standing at the bathroom door.

"Since then I haven't seen Icha. What is the Icha inside?" diana asked Fahry and at that time Fahry also suspected that the one in the toilet was Icha.

"Icha," Call Diana.

"Icha, are you inside?" shouted again.

Not long ago a voice sounded from inside the toilet.

"Yes, it's me. Just a minute, yeah" said Icha.

Diana breathed a sigh of relief, but not with Fahry still grinning with a wondering feeling.

Chequek!

The bathroom door opened, Icha's eyes were puffy.

"Icha. are you crying?" ask Diana directly.

Icha shook her head slowly.

"You don't lie. We've been friends for a long time, you can't lie."

hearing the words of her best friend, Icha immediately hugged Diana's body and returned to tears.

seeing that, Fahry left the place, not wanting to disturb.
