If in Anugrah's room the atmosphere looks awkward in Iskandar's room. The man was replying to a message with Dita until it did not feel like midnight.
“I sleep first, yes!” reply Anugrah ended reply message from Dita.
“Okay, good night and don't dream of me.”
“Em,”
Ari had peeked out till jannah's best friend was curious because only this time he saw Iskandar so different. Even with Aisyah, she never returned a long message until she forgot the time.
“Who the hell, Is? Don't tell your future wife.”
“Complicated.” Ari sneered and then tried to close her eyes again even though it was difficult. He remained agitated all afternoon until tonight.
“What's up?” tanya Iskandar curious.”
“Don't say no. I know you're thinking something.” Ari looked at her best friend fixed, “Long wants to be betrothed.”
“Alhamdulillah, then?”
“He doesn't want to because he already likes others. She asked for my help to cancel this matchmaking.” Iskandar was still staring at his friend's black bead.
“You know for yourself I dare not argue with my parents.”
“Your sister has seen the photo of her future husband?” Ari nodded. “She has taken heart on you and asked for my help to convey her request to you.” Iskandar frowned in wonder.
“What request?”
Ari looked at her friend doubtfully, “Like likes you. He asked you to propose to him.” Iskandar's eyeballs are perfectly rounded.
“How can it?”
“She has liked you for a long time and has taken a lot of heart out of you when she saw you coming home from Egypt. At that moment he did not dare to say it. He also thought that at that time you must have been intent on family. But when Mama said that she would marry her friend's son, she immediately refused and asked me to help her tell you this. Sorry, Is. I didn't mean to burden you. I'm just giving you the security.”
“Does he know I already have a future wife?”
“Not yet, I just found out about this matchmaking problem this afternoon. She called me right away when Mama told me about this matchmaking plan.”
“Look, maybe it's better if I meet him in person. Give me the number, I'll ask her to meet. Anggi is still unstable, he should we tell you carefully.” Ari nodded in agreement and put the phone number into Iskandar's hand.
“I'll call him tomorrow while on campus.”
“How are you related to Aisyah? I never heard you suffer from him again?”
“He is busy taking care of his script.” said Iskandar.
The next day…
Panic struck Mr. Wicaksono's house in the morning. Cut and Rendra panic when they find a wheelchair in Wulan's room without its owner.
“What's mungki?” tanya Cut then saw the husband.
“In Room Anugrah.”
“No way, Non-“ Bibik's Greeting came to a halt as the two husband and wife settled into the son's room,
“What's up, Bik.” Ask Brother Julie.
“Custom, Ma'am. Husband and wife. It happens often here. No need to wonder.” Bibik smiled and went back to the child's room. Rendra the expert on the battlefield tried to turn the doorknob turned out
“Locked, Ma.” whispered Rendra.
Rendra does not want to lose, “We check CCTV!” whispered Rendra then headed towards the middle room. Rendra types something on her phone and then looks at the television screen. Cut, Bibik shut up not believing what they were watching. Sister Julie just shook her head slowly to see the height of a family that she thought was strange. Rendra smiled slightly as she shook her head.
“Already, no one asked. Just act normal, okay!” they nodded while smiling meaningfully.
The atmosphere of the house back to normal, Rendra and Cut invited Kak Julie, Pure Mother and Pak Fahri to pick up Iskandar on campus and invite them to visit Mr. Wicaksono's apple orchard. The plantation air is very good for the health of Pure Mother and Pak Fahri who are already old.
“Assalamualaikum, Pa.”
“Walaikumsalam,” replied Rendra via phone line.
“Sorry, Pa. I can't come with. There's a guidance schedule today and I completely forgot.”
“Hem, okay. Say my apologies to Grandpa and Grandma yes!”
“They said your sorry was just received after you brought your future wife.” Goda Rendra's.
“God willing, I'll take him if he has time.”
There was a knock from outside Iskandar's room. He immediately ended his call.
“Log in!”
A veiled girl entered Iskandar's room. The two's eyes met. The door of the room was left open. “Assalamualaikum,” says Anggi softly.
“Walaikumsalam, sit!”
Yes, the veiled girl is Anggi, sister of Ari. Earlier this morning, Iskandar sent a message to Anggi to invite him to meet on campus.
“How are you?” asked Iskandar with a smile.
“Not good, Brother. Brother Ari must have told you about the matchmaking, right?” Iskandar smiled then nodded slowly.
“What Ari has said if I have already menghitah a muslimah?” Anggia raised her chin then looked at Iskandar's bead. There was a sense of disappointment running from his heart.
“So you never liked me? What is my lack in the eyes of Brother?”
Iskandar sighed, “You are perfect as a sister for me. Just to the extent of it, Big Brother can't be more than that. This brother is not as perfect as you imagine. Brother does not want you to be disappointed after we get married and you only realize if your expectations do not match reality.”
“Figures, Brother and others love you as a sister. We have our own boundaries with our best friend's sister. Our affection for you is only limited to respecting you as a sister and helping to keep an eye on you from afar if you do wrong.”
“But I don't want to be betrothed, sister. Please help me!”
“Have you seen your future husband?” Anggi nodded slowly.
“Then how will you like it if you just see it not.”
“I don't intend, Brother.”
“Look, how about Big Brother accompany you see who that man is? Who knew you would love it.”
“I still don't want to, Brother.”
Iskandar almost gave up facing the girl in front of him is enough to make his brain sharpened quickly. Before inviting Anggi to meet, Iskandar had first asked permission from both Anggi parents. Iskandar did not want any slander in the future. From there, Anggi's parents asked Iskandar to persuade Anggi to accept this match.
“So, answer honestly! Is Brother dear to me?”
“Sister love you even from the first time when you to pesantren.”
Degs…
Some were broken but not wood. Aisyah who was about to enter the room Anugrah suddenly stopped suddenly when she heard clearly the words of her future husband. He turned back away from Iskandar's room with teary eyes.
“It turns out the title does not guarantee someone faithful. I hate you, Mas.” He immediately left the campus.
Back to Iskandar's room. After various moves finally the girl wants to also meet her future husband. Iskandar also had to promise to interview the man from A to Z. “This task should fall into Ari's hands, why am I the one doing this job?”
“If Brother is not sincere yes already canceled. I was also lazy to meet that man.”
“But she's a doctor, don't you want to have a doctor's husband? Kan cool,” god Iskandar.
“Doctor is a cool suit same title doang. Others are the same as other men. What's cool.”
“You are strange, the veiled girl speaks calmly, softly unlike you.”
“Kak, son of ustad also not necessarily alim like his father. Part of the veil to cover the aurat instead of covering the properties.”
“Sister, sin does not refuse matchmaking?” They had entered the car to go to a destination that was none other than a hospital.
“A girl is entitled to be betrothed let alone the choice of parents is certainly the best. The proof, your parents' choice was a doctor. In fact, your brother is a lecturer. Meaning according to your parents, the doctor is the best to accompany their child. Doctors also have more money than teachers. Your life must be prosperous.”
“Money does not determine happiness.”
“But to be happy needs money. Do you want to starve and eat love? You have to use logic in choosing a husband. In addition to religion, looks, materials also need to be considered.”
“Keep, what did you see from the girl?” ask Anggia later.
“Kakak has done salat istikharah and then it flows just like that. Brother proposed to him then he agreed and just asked his parents.”
“What if the girl turns out to have been betrothed?”
“He is unlikely to accept if he has been betrothed to someone else. Brother already said, haram a Muslim menghitbah above the other Muslim sermons. My sister's wife understands that. Of course he will refuse if he has been preached by others.”
The car stopped in the hospital parking area. “What's the name?” ask Iskandar to Anggi. Both are in front of the registration desk.
“Mbak, if you want to see Doctor Rendra neurologist where ya?”
“Sorry, Ma'am. Saturday has no schedule of practice. If you want to seek treatment, Mbak can come every working day.”
“Em, we're not here for treatment, ma'am. We need a moment, about where can we meet him?” ask Iskandar.
The clerk glanced at the clock, “At the moment, Doctor Rendra is on picket. He may be in his room.”
“Where to, Ma'am?” tanya Anggi.
The officer then pointed at the pamphlet indicating the direction of the nerve poly. “Just follow that lead, Ma'am, Mas.”
“Thank you.”
The two again walked following the instructions displayed along the hospital corridor.until arriving in one of the rooms bearing the name “Dr. Rendra, Sp.N”
“Don't cry as soon as the beauty is gone. Come on, we're eating ice cream.”
Chequek…
Two pairs of humans stared at each other in question-filled gazes…
“Ck, it turns out she also has a boyfriend.” Anggi's words were not heard by Iskandar. He stared fixedly at the girl in front of him let alone the girl's hand was embracing the friendly white-clothed man beside him.
"Come, Brother. We've seen with our own eyes.”
Anggi managed to take a photo of a pair of lovers in front of him and then send for the mother. “Alhamdulillah, now this matchmaking is definitely void. Come, Brother. We should celebrate.” Anggi said with a big smile behind his veil.
“Aisyah!” call Iskandar then stare at the arm of Aisyah who still faithfully embrace the arm of Doctor Rendra candidate from Anggi.
“Sorry, what's the need?”
