I'm Not an Old Virgin
Chapters 22.2
A hand patted next to the shoulder of a handsome man wearing a white cocoa shirt who was standing pensively on the small balcony of his room. Shin glanced towards the back of the hand that landed on his left shoulder.
"You're Dul."
Abdul smiled broadly."how brother? a success?"
Shin sighed heavily." I'm so scared of Dul."
"Fear why brother?"
"What if Norin turns down my proposal Dul? I just want to end my life if that happens."
"Ha ha ha. Shin doesn't seem to have a god only to speak of wanting to end life. Don't be a pessimist, you have to stay optimistic. If Shin's brother's proposal is rejected at this time, brother can ask for it back later. As long as life has not been separated from the body, just pursue it until it can."
Shin heard Abdul's proposal while narrowing his eyes. He did not expect Abdul a young man aged fourteen years had a more calm and more mature mindset compared to him.
"Patience and pray, brother."
Shin nodded slightly then smiled.
"Aren't you going to the garden again today?"ask Shin.
"Yes right, brother, therefore I am here to tell Brother Shin. Because, other friends are ready to be prepared below.
"Yes, let's go down now."
"Wouldn't you change your clothes first?"
Shin looked down at the clothes he was wearing."oh yeah, I forgot ha ha."
Then Shin and several tens of santri flocked to go to the garden while carrying a water pump machine and a long hose.

"Assalamualaikum brother Inay!" call a young princess in front of the room of one of the beautiful adult santri.
"Wa'alaikum salam. Uh, what's the matter princess? the owner of the room answered after the door was opened.
"Sister, earlier Umi Husna asked the Princess to tell her sister after the dzuhur prayer later her brother was told to face Abah at his home."
"What do you need, Abah kira, kok tumben."
"well, the princess doesn't know sister."
"Yes put, thank you, brother will be there."
"yes, my sister, yes, then the princess said goodbye first."
After performing the Dzuhur prayer together, Inay rushed to the residence of his uncle, Abah Ahmad. After arriving at the uncle's house, it was seen that Husna was waiting for him on the porch.
"Assalamualaikum!"
"Wa'alaikum hail Nay, come in. Abah is waiting for you inside."
Inay nodded and followed Husna to his house. Abah Ahmad was waiting for him on the sofa. Inay greeted the middle-aged man first.
"Sit Nay" Abah said.
Inay nodded then sat on the sofa facing Abah while looking down on his face.
"Look Nay, I want to tell you something that this morning there was one of the santri in this cottage who faced Abah and expressed his desire to menghitmu Nay."
Inay looked up at Abah Ahmad.
"And according to Abah's view of the man who wanted to preach you, he was a good and responsible man even though he was said to have not been here long ago but Abah saw his seriousness in learning everything."
"Ta but...how did the man know about Inay bah, while Inay never appeared in front of the prince santri and vice versa?"
"She said she accidentally saw you at the market yesterday Nay."
Inay frowned and tried to remember who the man he had met yesterday at the market was. Before long Inay remembered that there was a young man who helped him when the goods he was carrying fell.
"A..what.the man is still a dozen years old bah?"
Abah smiled." Not Nay, this guy if Abah thinks he's over thirty."
"Nay, sorry in advance, I didn't mean to force you. But think of yourself Nay, think of your future. You cannot spend the rest of your life living alone for the rest of your life.You must have a life partner to accompany you in joy and sorrow. You should also have descendants as your successors. Especially now that you're thirty years old, Nay is fit to be married."
"Ta.but..what...the man knows how Inay's condition is.....yet no longer..suci Abah, Umi?" ask Inay. With a serious face staring at the two people sitting before him.
"Because Inay wants a man who wants to marry Inay must first know the lack of Inay so that later he does not feel disappointed or not feel lied to."
"Already Nay, he already knows about your condition and he wants to accept all your shortcomings."
Inay flabbergasted." Is that true Abah?" inay did not believe what he heard from Ahmad. The man would accept her who was no longer a virgin.
"really. How's Nay? are you willing to accept this man's proposal to be your husband?"
Inay shut up for a moment.
"Can Inay ask for one night only. Abah, Umi?" ask Inay seriously.
Abah and Umi look at each other and smile at Inay.
"By, Nay. Ask God for guidance first. Hopefully after that you can decide which one you think is best."
Inay nodded.
"Then this is all about gardening an acre I want because I don't have to suck anymore nimba water well." Akbar joked while watering the plant with a hose.
"I'm also a bar" Thoriq chimed in.
"If I even want to make a fish pond if there is already water like this." Abdul.
Akbar and Thoriq turned their heads towards Abdul including Shin.
"What is Dul fish for?" ask Shin.
"Yes for fish. The results can be sold the same at eating children santri as well."
"Well, your delusion of the height of Dul, making fish cattle will cost a lot. Besides who else would be a donor if not Mr. Ali. Not necessarily also pak Ali obey your wishes," said Akbar.
"Nobody's a bad one, right? who knows from fantasy to reality he he he." Abdul spoke to Akbar.
"Yes Dul, we just make a fish pond" Shin said.
The three friends turned towards Shin with serious faces.
"Sister Shin isn't kidding, is he? or did Shin just want to comfort Abdul?" ask Akbar. He did not believe what Shin said.
"No, I'm serious. But, you are the only one who is looking for an idea how to make a fish pond because I do not understand the fish livestock.you just mention the nominal cost so that I fund it."
"But brother, making a fish pond requires empty land, while this garden is already full of the same plants."
Shin's eyes circled around the garden and his gaze was fixed on a large garden.
"Who does the garden belong to?" point Shin at a garden next to the garden they manage.
"It's a garden owned by paijo sir. The richest man in the area.
"Do you know where the house is?"
"Tau brother. But, what did Brother Shin ask her for?"
"To buy his garden."
Abdul and his two friends saw Shin.
"Why are your facial expressions like that? it's ugly."
"What...kak Shin seriously want to buy a garden owned by paijo sir?"
"Yes I'm serious."
"But, the garden is too broad, if to make the most fish pond we need three hundred meters only.
"No problem. The rest of the land you can grow it with vegetables or fruits. We'll buy the seeds.
"Sir Shin is serious?"
"I never joke when I'm serious."
"ha ha ha...!"
"Has all the plants been watering?"
"It's over, brother," replied Akbar.
"Yes, we're going home now. Later after the Dzuhur prayer we go to the owner of the garden."
Then they rushed back to the cottage because the time had shown at one noon and they had to perform Dzuhur prayer.
"Is his house still far away?" asked Shin in between walking towards the house of Paijo sir which is located in a village quite far from the cottage.
"Half an hour, brother."
"What, there's no public transport here?"
"No brother, no ojek."
"What is an ojek?"
"yes it is. the person who gives the bike a ride but pays.
"motor?" suddenly Shin remembered Norin who always carried a motorbike when he went to work.
"I miss my angel very much" Shin said involuntarily.
"What brother, miss the angel?" ask Thoriq.
Shin was flabbergasted and then closed his mouth.
"Oh, no. That's not what it means." Shin smiled smirkingly.
"Is there no ojek in Korea?"
"Oh, there's no. Don't be a motorcycle taxi driver. People who have a motor can be counted with fingers and it is not an ordinary motor."
"What I'm saying is, Koreans are rich rich Thor.Where's anyone riding a motorcycle to and fro.they all have a car instead of a motorcycle.
"Oh, it's not like that. Actually there are several reasons why Koreans do not use motorcycles.the first is safety and security issues. Koreans prefer to use cars because of the minimal risk of accidents. In addition, the streets in Korea are designed for four-wheeled transportation only. So that many automatic cars and other vehicles that go at erratic speeds and this is very risky for motorcyclists. Next is the temperature factor. In Korea during the summer, temperatures can reach 39 degrees Celsius. It is much hotter than the average temperature in India. So it will be very uncomfortable to drive open in the heat of the heat. Also in the snow season. Extreme cold temperatures can make a person shiver and freeze. Not to mention if snow is covering the streets. The road can be very slippery and dangerous for motorcyclists. And lastly, the price of cars in Korea is very affordable because Koreans love domestic products so cars there are not imported but domestic production, so the selling price becomes cheaper. So even the lower middle class can buy it."
Abdul and his two friends listened to Shin's explanation while mangosteen mangosteen.
