"Respect the people who love you because they won't live forever.”


●_●


     “Why go home so fast Farzan? Though today we will talk about the orphanage that you proposed it.” Astagfirullah, I just remembered that the day after tomorrow we chose a plan to entertain orphans in the orphanage where I used to be. And now that six o'clock past seventeen means forty-three more minutes I have to go to Adibah's friend's wedding. “How? “


     “How is it? Today there is a wedding I have to visit with Adibah.”


     “Yaelah Farzan, if the meeting is postponed tomorrow I and Qamariah can not join, because we both have other charity events, there is no way I will waste my best time with Qamariah, he said,” said Sultan, or commonly called Sultan Afandi. He had always liked Qamariah, only that the girl did not have the slightest intention to date even she was very avoiding the act.


      Islam does not forbid us from dating, but Islam does not forbid us to love someone


     I retreated a few inches from where I was standing, then returned to my seat earlier. How else? I should have been responsible for my decision, and Jihan wouldn't have gotten married just because we were late, right?


     “Ya. How long have we been talking about this? “


     The sultan seemed to think. “Perhaps about thirty minutes.”


     I looked back at the watch on my left hand that had shown six o'clock past twenty minutes, which meant that I was only forty minutes late and I might be a few minutes late to get home.


     “Oke, you call the others first I wait here, “ my words later, which the Sultan approved. Not long after that she came out of my room to call some fellow doctors and nurses who participated in this charity event.


      Until we finally get together, we start talking about the charity event. Starting from the place, the conversation will be delivered, until the gifts that the children will get there. The orphanage is, the one I've been in, hopefully going well, aamiin.


     “Ya. I and Dr Riska will arrange the funds and gifts later,” said one doctor. Everyone agreed to his words, until finally everything was finished and there was nothing more to discuss. I resigned to go home immediately and get to the apartment as soon as possible.


     Not forgetting I stopped to buy martabak, Adibah's request this morning before I left for work. Allahu akbar, I forgot to tell Adibah that in a few days he will go to college, why the forgetful nature of Adibah is transmitted to me.


     After all, I finally arrived with a white canteen in my right hand. My legs then stopped when I got to the front door. I knocked on the door, a split second later the door opened, displaying Adibah there. Why is his face like that? Salompas is now attached to his head with a reddish nose.


     Adibah kissed the back of my hand. “Why you? “ my.


     “So finished fixing the water shell, a long time ago just finished. “


     “Why not contact me?”


     “Log in first Brother Farzan,” order. It is true, his voice sounded hoarse like a cold.


     “Sister Farzan has eaten? “ asked while continuing to hold my hand to the sofa. “Feed first yuk kak Farzan. “


     “Why didn't you contact me? “ my question again. I know what the answer is after this, he will answer Brother Farzan if asked do not ask back. And it's true that he answered as I thought. “I first questioned this Adibah. “


    “So Dibah tried to call kak Farzan but the number is not active, so Dibah thought kak Farzan is busy, so I work alone. “ Astagfirullah, I just remembered, if this morning there was a sudden operation.


     “Yes already, I went up first to take a shower. I'm hungry,” said I then left Adibah. But just a few steps away, he called me. “What else? “


     “To Jihan's house so no? “ I almost forgot again.


     “I take a shower first, after that we go,” I said. He was so happy to hear it, clearly visible from his smile. I went back to my steps and again he called me. My advice is directed at him.


     “Where's the date? “ This thing I almost took a shower if only Adibah did not remind me. I handed over the martabak and left Adibah without stopping again.

        After arriving at the building where Jihan's wedding reception was, Adibah and I immediately went down. From a distance I saw Fauzi with some of Adibah's friends whom I didn't know his name. Fauzi looked at us, more precisely at Adibah with a smile. By Allah, if killing were not a sin, I might have done it by now.


     Adibah looks mediocre to the presence of Fauzi.


     “Cieee, newlywed,” shouted one of Adibah's friends, while pinching Adibah's waist. Does this include the tradition of today's children? Perhaps, Adibah once pinched my waist as well. And wait, he said a new replacement? Our marriage was a year old and it was a long time ago.


     “Old wedding, kelesss,” said Sri Ramadhani. I knew his name because he was a friend of Adibah whom I saw first, while in musollah.


     I saw Adibah smiling in response to the words of her friends, was she originally quiet? Why is it that with me he talks so much? Even spoke without pause to the point that I didn't understand what he was saying.


     “The father of the handsome doctor. His marriage has long continued to ponder when it will follow. “ After a few seconds words from Adibah's friend, Fauzi suddenly coughed. It should have been me or Adibah who was shocked not him! “Why? Want to ask when you have children too? Allahu Akbar Fauzi got married there just had a child. “


     “Come, rather than standing outside we better enter, Jihan must have missed us,” Adibah said. I know, he's trying to shift the conversation.


     I accidentally saw Fauzi always approaching Adibah. I immediately held Adibah's hand, this is actually the code for Fauzi to wake up.


     “Kak Farzan's. When is our wedding reception? “ ask Adibah. “That's been impatient. “


     “I will even marry you back, by again saying a marriage contract based on love. Unlike the first maybe just because it was forced,” I said. Adibah's hands are unceasingly holding my hands, I love it. “ I want to bond with you out of love. “


     “Sister Farzan promise? “tanya Adibah make sure.


     “Yes, I promise. “


     “Wallahi? “


     “Wallahi. “


     “For God's sake? “


     “Astagfirullah Adibah. I told you wallahi, yes wallahi. “


     “Yes, by Allah the Almighty,” I said, I am not good at arguing with him this time.


     I did not think that it turned out that the groom was Abdul, yes my boarding friends first. “Farzan? “ ask Abdul make sure. I nodded with a smile. “Yes Allah, Gua will not be able to meet you again, “ said Abdul while hugging me first.


     The end of my shirt feels pulled. I know, the culprit must be Adibah, and I know he'll ask a lot of questions about Abdul. “The decoration of the building with the theme of nature turns out that the wedding is you, “ I said with a laugh. Abdul wanted to be a soldier.


     “Alhamdulillah cave ideals granted. That you? Now what is your goal to be a pilot? “ Yes when I was very small I really understand the profession of pilot, to the point that I really want to be a pilot at that time, but fate who knows now I'm another profession.


     “Not, now I'm a doctor.”


     “Wah! Amazingly a Farzan who was afraid to see injection and injury could be a doctor. “ Abdul laughed and I laughed. Again, destiny no one knows.


     And again, I felt my clothes pull someone back. I looked at Adibah. “Why? “ my. Adibah just wanted to talk but had to stop when she saw Abdul's face, what was wrong? My friend's face is handsome and nothing is scary in the least.


     “Adibah, we also want to pass! “ upset one of Adibah's friends.


     “Ihh New also a one-time hug with Jihan has been told quickly! Not very understanding! “ upset.


     Wallahi, she looks so funny.


     “But the problem is that Adibah behind people in line is like someone else waiting for a shot. “


     And right, the queue was indeed very long, they were staring at us probably while cursing at us. “Ayo Adibah get off. I go first, don't forget we reunion, “ my words approved by Abdul.


      It also sounds that Adibah is talking also with Jihan, the last one is clearly heard by my ears, if in talking like this, “Don't forget the funny pounding huh,” and also I saw Jihan pinching Adibah's waist.


     "It should be, you used to have," Jihan said with a laugh.


     After coming down, I was inundated with many questions by Adibah regarding Abdul, I had expected.


     “Ka Farzan how can you know Jihan's future husband? Eh is wrong is already a marriage contract so now it is legal, not a candidate anymore but husband Jihan? And what's his job? How's people? Rough or not? He's good if someday Jihan asks for a teddy bear? Jihan likes a teddy bear. What if he doesn't like women like that? Oh my God Farzan I can't imagine Jihan without her teddy bear! Just to school he always brought a teddy bear, because the teddy bear was hanging in the bag of Jihan funny that Farzan. Jihan continues to be strange, she likes to eat bitter melon even though pahittt very ..” Adibah's oath returned to his habit, speaking without pause. He asked while whispering. I don't know, where to answer her question first. “Sister Farzan answer! “


     “I replied where should Adibah start? “


     “You want me to repeat? “


     “Not necessary. Abdul was my best friend at pesant-“


      “So, he's the same age as Farzan?” the question I asked nodded. “Means mature dong.”


     “Yes he is an adult. The job is tent-“


     “Ber-“


     “If the husband talks again, listen first do not cut into pieces like marta,” annoyed me. He has a hobby like this.


     “But brother Farzan was also cut off the talk Adibah, kayak marta. “ It feels like to drink sleeping pills for Adibah! I am sorry, God.


     “But who first? “


     “Brought. “


      “So?”


      “Falsely wrongly awarded. “


     “Smart child. “


     “Yeahhh. “ Adibah looks very happy to hear my last words. “Just heard, the wrong person said smart. “


     Be patient! Be patient! Be patient!


     If only I didn't love him, I might have left him here, or not in the tiger's den! Astagfirullah Farzan's.


     "Kata Jihan, paninya¹ not much kak Farzan. Only one hundred million, he said, take from the custom of his father do not know what custom, if only the custom bugis probably more expensive pananya, " said Adibah. A hundred million little? My salary for a month is not like that.


     "That's a lot of Adibah. "


     "Yes that's a lot of Farzan's brother. But if you wear it for a wedding like this, maybe not too much."


     "Too redundant" I said. I'm a newcomer, not a Bugis native, so it's only natural that I don't know what the function of the panai money is. Moreover, said Adibah panai and dowry different, so the groom must have a lot of money to marry a Bugis woman.


     “Adibah, “ call me. He cleared his throat, replying to my words. “Respect the people who love you because they won't live forever.”


     “Sister Farzan said so! Not liked it! “
