Brother, I Love You
226. Once more

Bilal turned his gaze towards his handphone ringing on his desk. Seeing who contacted him, Bilal also dialed the green button on his phone screen.

"Assalamu alaikum Ustdaz Indra !" greet Bilal.

"Greetings to Ustdaz !" reply from phone call.

"What's up ?" ask Bilal.

"Why has Ustadz never come in these few days ?" tanya Ustadz Indra's.

"I'm very busy !" answer Bilal.

"Hani is defressed, because she does not accept getting married to Hidayah !" the Ustadz Indra.

Bilal was silent for a while," That's his family business !" reply later.

"Yes ! it's his family business, but Hani defresses by loving you too much !" Ustadz Indra once again.

"What am I supposed to do, whereas I can't possibly enter the realm of their families ?" ask Bilal.

Ustasz Indra fell silent, scratching his back neck behind the phone. He was also confused, but he also felt the need to pass the news to his best friend Bilal.

"Ustdaz Hamzah was admitted to the hospital because of that. Ustadz Hamzah was suddenly hit by a high blood pressure attack" he reported.

Bilal let out a long sigh, Bilal was confused as to what kind of reaction ?. Bilal did not hate Ustadz Hamzah for rejecting his proposal. It's just that Bilal is confused, and feels reluctant if he has to meet the family at this time. Bilal is also an ordinary human being, he needs time to fix his feelings that are being upset because he cannot have Hani.

"Give my regards to Ustadz Hamzah, may he recover soon. For now I can't divide the time to get there !" reply Bilal.

"Yes ! I understand being in your position. Later I will say your greetings" said Ustadz Indra.

"Ustdaz Indra ! I'll secure that shop for you. Looks like I'm not going there for an indefinable time. For the results of the stall, share it for people in need" said Bilal.

"Where is Ustdaz Bilal going ?" heboh Ustadz Indra direct.

"Where am I, still in town. I'm just looking safe. If I still go to the boarding school, it could be that I will be accused of being the source of trouble in the Ustadz Hamzah family" Bilal replied. Bilal breathed." Not what I meant for su'uzon. If I show up there, I'm afraid Hani, the more she can't control herself if she accidentally sees me" Bilal said.

Ustadz Indra nodded his head behind the phone, understanding what his best friend was saying.

"Send my regards to Hidayah, if you meet him later. Tell him, his marriage with Hani later, has no effect on our friendship" Bilal said again.

Uatadz Indra sighed, should Hidayah not have proposed to Hani. Because Hidayah himself knew that Hani was crazy about Bilal. I don't know what reason their friend was intending to marry Hani.

"Later I will say" replied Ustsaz Indra.

"Then I hang up the phone, I'll get back to work. Assalamu aleikum !" bilal said again.

"Greetings hallow !" the Ustadz Indra.

Bilal shut off his phone.

That feeling that called me, why did he even hang up the phone first?, the inner Ustadz Indra.

.

.

The news of Ustadz Hamzah entering the hospital, had reached the ears of Mr. Ilham and Ms. Maryam. So is the news of Hani who suffered from depression, has reached Hidayah's ear through his friend who still survives in the boarding school.

Hidayah sat quietly in his desk chair at the company of the Papa. Hidayah pensive, what are the shortcomings?, why can't Hani accept it?. What are Bilal's advantages?, until Hani is crazy for Bilal.

Faces, they are equally handsome. And they also have sufficient knowledge of religion. And even in terms of economy, according to Hidayah, he is far superior to Bilal who only as a seller of ramas rice in the pesantren neighborhood. He is the sole heir of the company.

Why can't you accept me Hani ?. I liked you and loved you before you knew Bilal. I love you Hani!, until I can afford to corner my own friend. Until I'm willing to lose my friend in order to have you. Batin Hidayah

Hidayah leaned his head against the back of his chair, turned his face up, unconsciously the clear liquid came out of the corner of his eye.

Hidayah felt sorry for himself, because the idol did not accept his love.

Bilal and Indra were his roommates in the dorm since madrasyah until aliah graduated. They were close friends even if they never fought, they were like brothers. However, even like that, Hidayah never told Bilal and Indra that he liked Hani. Hidayah chose to bury her, seeing Hani who liked Bilal.

Now, is it wrong of him to fight for his love for Hani ?. Hidayah also dared to propose to Hani, because he heard Bilal who had not received Hani. Hidayah thought he had a chance to slip in the heart of a Hani.

Amar takes Hani along to the Hospital, after Hani begins to improve. Amar managed to calm Hani down, making Hani's heart more steadfast after listening to his advice.

'A daughter is the most precious treasure for a father. Until the guard is even tighter compared to looking after boys. Although you are not Abi's biological daughter, Abi's blood also flows in your body. Although we are not born of the same woman, but look!, our blood is the same color and viscosity. How could we possibly topple you for our luxury.'

'While with Bilal, Abi did not know his family at all. Yes ! maybe Bilal can accept you and will definitely do you a good job. But what about his family ?. Can Bilal's family be sure to accept you?, not necessarily !'

'Marriage is not just bringing two people together. But unite two large families. And Abi chose the Hidayah family, because all this time our family has been close. Abi is more calm if you leave it to people he knows. Abi didn't mean to subvert you at all.'

That's the series of advice Amar to his cousin's sister.Yang managed to make Hani think, not to prejudge them.

Amar embraces the body of his cousin's sister into the car. Karna Hani who was embarrassed, with her behavior just now who shouted cry out in trance.

Amar took Hani in, sitting in the rear passenger seat. Arriving in the car, Amar still left Hani in his arms until he arrived at the hospital.

Arriving at the treatment room Ustadz Hamzah, Hani immediately ran to hug Ustadz Hamzah who was lying on a gurney.

"Sorry Uncle Hani !" cry Hani sobbed." Hani admitted wrong !. Hani wants to marry Uncle Hidayah. But Uncle promised, Uncle must be healed !" crying Hani again.

Without Hani realizing it in the room, there was already Hidayah and his parents.

"Uncle is right!, I have to choose Hidayah, because Ustadz Bilal has been selling expensively to Hani" he cried again.

Hani is a spoiled figure with all his behavior. Perhaps because since the departure of his biological father, no one had the heart to scold him. To make him do as he pleases. And he is still 18 years old today, of course his thinking is not mature enough. He still has to be directed, to be able to think more mature.

Ustadz Hamzah, who was conscious from earlier, raised one hand, rubbed Hani's head. Hani is the daughter of her own biological sister, of course what distinguishes Hani with her two children, is only the woman who gave birth to her. Because in Hani's body as well, his blood flowed very thick. What's more now, Umi Fatimah Hani's biological mother has also become his wife.

Hani raised his head from above the chest of Ustdaz Hamzah, looking at his uncle's smiling face to him.

"Uncle is aware ?" ask Hani.

Ustadz Hamzah nodded his head slowly.

"Uncle apologize !" ustadz Hamzah lirih.

Hani shook his head." I love Uncle !" his reply.

Of course Hani loved his Uncle, because Ustadz Hamzah was the figure who replaced Abinya who had died. His uncle loved him, no different from his two cousins.

"Ukhti Hani !"

The voice turned Hani's gaze toward the sofa. Hani sharpened his gaze briefly to Hidayah's face.

"Once again I'll propose to you, but I don't mean to force you. Because I've liked you since we were kids. I have been holding my love for you all this time, because I want to give you the opportunity to gain your love for Ustadz Bilal" Hidayah said." Just like you, I also want to fight for my love for you" continued Hidayah.

"Hani ! I ask you once again. Will you be my companion ?. Accompany me to seek the pleasure of Allah ?" asked Bilal without removing his net from Hani's face.

"I don't care how long or short your hair is Hani !. What is important to me is that you cover it well. Do not show off your aurat to any man. I don't care how much you love Bilal right now. What I need right now to your preparations to start a new life with me !" say Hidayah again.

Hani bit her lower lip and thought silently. Hani sighed deeply, to try to expel to his hesitation.

'What you like is not necessarily the best for you. What you don't like can be better'

Amar's advice was ringed in Hani's ears.

Hani directed his gaze towards Amar, then pointed it at Ikbal's face, further obscuring every face of the person who was in the room.

Hani took her breath back while closing her eyes. Slightly hesitant, Hani nodded her head, a sign of receiving Hidayah's proposal once again. Of course it is with various considerations, because given the advice of Amar before going to the hospital.

"Alhamdulillah !" exclaim everything.

Hidayah commented on her smile, despite knowing Hani did not love her at the moment. At least at this time, he managed to knock on the door of Hani's heart.

The day passed

Today is Hani and Hidayah's wedding day. Earlier this morning they had carried out the kabul ijab at the pesantren mosque. The show went very smoothly without any obstacles.

Today also Hani will be brought back to the family home of Mr. Ilham. Every day Hani would go to school from there. Hideyah himself will take her.

.

.

Hani is married to Hidayah. Bilal can only sigh deeply, trying sincerely with the divine provisions robby, if Hani is not his match. Bilal also chose to busy himself by working and preaching to and fro. After the new school year, Bilal decided to continue his education to the college. For now, Bilal doesn't want to think of a soul mate.
