He's Not A Bad Boy
Chapter 49 - Ngidam Khaira

A few weeks passed, Khaira was still in the cravings zone which really made her only able to rest at home, even therefore she had to take bedrest leave from her coke.

Morning sickness that Khaira experienced apparently made Boy also have to take leave to be able to take care of his wife, although he still lives in the house of in-laws. Though he had bought a house for them to occupy themselves, only he realized that now Khaira was in need of the figure of the mother in her first pregnancy.

As of now, Khaira chose to rest on the front porch of the house with her beloved husband. Not only the two of them, even Ainun, Umar who was on vacation, and Oma Sofi also accompanied them while chatting.

"Sister, if I ask for something that's a bit difficult because of my cravings, will you still grant it?" asked Khaira suddenly, making everyone who was there instantly look at each other.

Yes, asking for something difficult when cravings is not the first time Khaira did, before she had craved something that only existed in the hometown of Boy, lucky there was Silvi who immediately came to bring it.

"God willing, dear," Boy replied with a smile, though his heart was a little agitated.

"I want to eat young mango has Mr. Gunawan that, from earlier I drooled see it." Khaira pointed at the mango tree beside her house.

"Oh, that's it, it's not hard" Boy said with relief. "Umar, let's accompany brother there," he continued to invite the sister-in-law.

"okay, Bang. Thank goodness it was easier this time." Umar lightly langaing come because he considers his brother's wishes this time easier than usual.

"Eet, wait here first." Khaira restrained the two men then immediately went to her room.

"What's wrong with him, Bang?" tanya Umar started to get agitated.

"Maybe take a bag for the mango" replied Boy casually.

Shortly after, Khaira came with two negligee and two plastic bags. "You guys put this on and climb yourself, yeah. I'm sorry I dreamed of a tough woman's story last night, I wanted to see her for a while, but there's no way I'm asking Mama and Oma, so you're replacing them, and using this to look like a woman.

The faces of the two men instantly paled, especially when Khaira placed the negligee in their hands. "Bang, I retract my words if Brother's request this time is easy" whispered Umar.

"Me too, it seems that out of all these most difficult requests, we have to fight for life and dignity" Boy whispered.

"Why silence? come on, take it easy, I'll ask permission from Mr. Gunawan, you'll be executed. Okay?" Khaira immediately walked quickly while pulling the hands of two men who now looked resigned.

Ainun and Oma Sofi were now just holding back the laughter of seeing them. Somehow Khaira is so excited this time, usually during these hours, he will lie down more often because of dizziness.

Boy and Umar are now struggling to climb a tree using a negligee, with a plasphic pouch tied around their necks.

"Bang, pray for me, may no schoolmates see me here, may my future be ruined among the women if that happens" Umar said with a reddened face to endure embarrassment.

"Aamiiin, pray for me too hopefully no santri will see me, ruined my reputation if that happens" Boy replied.

The two men now began picking some fruit while occasionally looking towards Khaira who was busy chatting with a young girl without a hijab.

"Who is he?" asked Umar who was curious because the girl looked the same age as him.

"Well, why?"

"Beautiful, Bang," replied Umar, grinning until unconscious if he had just stepped on a nest of rang-rang ants.

"Bang, Bang, what the hell, sick ... Aww." Umar grimaced in pain as some rangrang ants began to rush him.

"Hey, what's up, Umar? ... Aww aww." Boy also grimaced as the ant attacked his legs to his body.

The two men quickly slumped down while scratching their bodies like they were swaying, making the two women below instantly laugh.

A few minutes passed.

Boy and Umar have returned home with their faces wrinkled. Their upper clothes were forced to be removed because their bodies felt hot due to the bite of rang-rang ants.

"What, Brother?"

"Yes, it's true that from my opinion, if from the baby I can't promise," Khaira said with a serious face, making Boy and Umar look at each other again and immediately pat their eels.

***

At a boarding school, Abah Rahman called Ali into his room. For a few days he felt so unwell that he just stayed in his room.

"Son, Ali, can you change your brother to B? Abah was not feeling well to attend the meeting of the pesantren leadership there. Normally Boy would have replaced you there, but now he's on leave" said Abah Rahman.

"Could Abah, God willing. When's time?"

"Tomorrow the activities, so you can go there tonight."

"Good, Abah. God willing."

That night Ali had just arrived at city B airport. The plan is tonight he will rest in a hotel that is very close to the location of tomorrow's activities.

Ali walked into the lobby dragging a suitcase. After getting the room key, he continued on his way to the 3rd floor where his room was. The man was made quite surprised when a very familiar figure to him turned out to be in the same elevator as him.

"Silvy?"

The two looked at each other for a moment before Ali finally lowered his gaze. Being in the same elevator only the two of them kept each other quiet for a moment.

"Why are you here?" tanya Ali started the conversation.

"Against the pesantren meeting, it seems like the reason you came here is the same, too" Silvi guessed and got a nod from Ali.

"Oh yeah, how are you, brother?" ask Silvi.

"Alhamdulillah, fine. You?" ask Ali back.

"Alhamdulillah, well too," the woman replied as she checked the contents of her bag.

"This, Brother Ali once said if we meet again, I can give it back to you, right? It's time now."

Ali was slightly stunned when she saw her legendary handkerchief standing before her at this moment. He did not expect that Silvi would be faster to return the handkerchief. "Oh, all right, thank you." There was a sense of unwillingness to take it at this time, but he had no reason to ask Silvie to keep it.

Shortly after, some people entered the elevator and it was a little narrow to make the two get closer.

"Sir, have you forgotten Boy?" lirih Ali's.

"Hmm, thank God, it seems so, brother. Slowly I was able to accept Boy as my Brother and Khaira as my Ipar" Silvi replied.

"Alhamdulillah, then has anyone insulted you?" ali asked, this time he had to make sure he was not late again.

"What's wrong, brother?" ask the woman.

"Someone wants to take you to ta'arruf."

Silvi was surprised to hear Ali's words, he was about to ask again but the elevator door opened when he was on the floor he was on, inevitably the woman had to come out immediately.
