Habibillah Hawaari
Suppressing Ego

Ricky looked at the young man who was now sitting in front of him ordering food and drinks after he had answered the greeting he said. While Zaid casually ate the order that was presented in front of him. The man was starving because he had not had lunch.

"Sister Ricky didn't eat ?" asked Zafran to see his brother's best friend silent without touching the dish in front of him.

"Is your taste different now ? It's all your favorite food. Let's eat I ordered it according to your favorite menu." Invite Zaid who also noticed his close friend a little different after his sister joined the table.

"It wasn't my favorite menu that changed, just because I wasn't hungry." Zaid knitted his eyebrows together because he knew his best friend. Ricky was never like that as long as he was friends with her. Anything must be eaten, because this is his favorite menu.

"Hey, don't look at me like that. I told you my face was handsome but remember you're married." Said guyon with the gaze of Zaid as if reading his mind that was suddenly bad mood due to the presence of his sister.

"Ck, let's eat. You're so happy with me if you don't eat. I ordered it. It's not good to waste food anyway." Ricky started feeding his food into his mouth.

"You were serious about seeing the girl you like ?" Zafran choked when he heard his sister's question that was difficult to control. Zafran is really not happy to discuss about personal problems in front of his brother's best friend. Despite all this time his relationship with his close friend his brother was firmly entwined. The man smiled awkwardly at Ricky who was also curious about the response of his best friend's sister.

"Hehe sorry, Brother Ricky. So it's about my personality." Ricky nodded slowly while still eating his dishes. While Zaid begins to understand Ricky's attitude towards his sister is a little different. If it used to be possible Ricky would advise him not to be close to the opposite sex as advising his own brother, now looks indifferent even seem to avoid.

"No problem, answer your brother's question." Ricky said trying to calm down to cultivate his heart that began to heat up. Zafran nodded while giving his thumbs up as a sign of agreement.

"I met him, so lucky to have met at the parking lot. I really like him more. Long time not seeing it made me so interested in his words and attitude that was full of politeness." His words were clearly full of happiness and so looks enthusiastic. Ricky sighed slowly, regulating his breathing which began to be tight to hear the words of his best friend's sister. Regardless of who used to like it. However, Ricky is obviously angry with himself for liking the same girl as his sister. Zafran is not a stranger, since being friends with Zaid, makes him feel like he has a younger brother. The man clenched his burly hands withstanding the turmoil in his heart that was so upset and claustrophobic with the circumstances.

"Right, Brother got curious about how he looked. Do you have a picture of her ?" Zafran smiled when he heard his brother's words. The man nodded as he opened his cell phone looking for a photo of the woman he loved so much. Zaid is clearly increasingly convinced that his best friend is keeping a secret that he does not want to tell when he notices Ricky's attitude when he asks about the girl his sister likes.

'Seems like my guess is right. That girl is the same girl.' Inner Zaid concluded when he saw the reaction of his friend's flat face looks so cold to resist the annoyance. Ricky Trying his hardest to hold back his emotions, the man wants to see a photo of his girl in Zafran's cell phone. Really he was so anxious about a photo that he thought it was too presumptuous to keep a picture of a newspaper that has not been mahram on his cellphone.

"This" said Zafran who was directly shown to his brother.

"Haha, what the hell is this. Where's her face ?" said Zaid returned his sister's phone with annoyance. Without Zafran and Zaid noticing, Ricky smiled faintly when he saw the photo of Billa shown by Zafran.

"This is my sister. The successor to Abah's boarding school." Ricky smiled at the familiarity of the Brothers.

"Did you know that picture I took secretly as she was about to leave after filling the holaqoh"

"Well, you're secretly following him ?"

"No, I accidentally saw him from behind. That's why I took the photo from behind. Just a photo like this, my heart rippled when I saw it." His immediate curses made his Brother pinch his favorite Brother's arm. Ricky saw how big Zafran felt about Billa. He began to understand, it seems that Zafran really likes the girl he also likes.

"So your view Dek, Istighfar can't be like that. You understand very well the devil plays when our eyes as a Brotherhood see the opposite sex who is not the mahram." Zafran nodded in understanding while drinking the ice presented before him.

"Let's know, I wanted to wipe it off my phone but I was so worried I couldn't see it again when he was alone. I'm sure he's a lot to like. But if I bring in another CV, it will be rejected." Zaid patted his sister's shoulder that looked so sad with the rejection of the girl he loved so much.

"What makes you sure about him ?" ricky asked in the end after being silent for quite a while. The man wondered why his best friend's sister liked Billa.

"Sholihah" he answered clearly with his trademark charming smile. Zaid shook his head seeing how big his sister felt towards the girl he liked. While Ricky nodded in understanding with one word it showed a lot of meaning that is in the figure of Billa. No he denied, Zafran's speech is true as it is.

"So, I'm sure you taught him this semester, right ? He's already in semester five. Ricky Mentopen's College isn't it ?" Ricky smiled thinly without interest to answer Zafran's question. Another case with Zaid who began to understand the beginning of his best friend liked a student girl himself.

'Hem, I get it now. It turns out they were the same girl. Astarghfirullah.' He said inwardly staring alternately at the two men of different ages before him.

"Your journey is still long, if he has refused to step together then look for another. There are many girls out there who are also Sholihah like her. Don't waste your time waiting for uncertainties that he's not necessarily your match. It was just a waste." Zaid got up from his seat and left his desk to the cashier to pay for the food he ordered and his sister after saying her opinion. The man just doesn't want Zafran to constantly expect uncertainty, but Zaid agrees that the girl he likes is married to Ricky. Judging from any side, Ricky is much more mature than his sister who has just been in college.

"No need to listen to things that make you lose heart. If you are sure he is the best for you. Then fight." Said Ricky suppressing his ego, as Big Brother of course he did not want to compete with his own Brother. Although not a real sister. But Ricky really thinks he's a little sister, the guy decides to surrender to fate. If Billa accepts, the man will defend. But if Billa refuses, then he will try to recant.
