Season 2: eps. 11.

Rizky was sitting in a cafe not far from the office where Amir worked.

He ordered a cup of coffee to a waiter. Then I called Amir.

“Assalamu’alaikum, Mir. My brother arrived at the cafe. You brought him here.”

“Wa’alaikumussalam. Fine, Bang.” Amir Sahut.

At the office, Amir sees Arumi tidying up his desk. He himself looks confused, how to invite Arumi to go to meet Bang Rizky.

He slowly steps his foot towards Arumi's desk.

“Emm, Arumi.” Sapa Amir quietly while scratching his head that does not itch.

“Iya. What's Bang Amir?” Ask Arumi who looks ordinary.

“That, emm. I want to take you to cafe.” Amir said nervously.

“What? A cafe? In what order?” Arumi.

“I want to introduce you to My Brother.”

“Oh yes? Why?” Arumi wonders.

“If you want to know. Then come with me.” Amir said firmly.

“Hmm. All right, I'll come with.” Arumi Sahut.

Amir nodded and walked ahead of Arumi. Arumi followed Amir from behind.

After walking for about five minutes. Finally Arumi and Amir arrive at the cafe.

Rizky waved her hand at Amir, then Amir and Arumi walked towards Rizky's desk.

“Assalamu’alaikum, Bang. Sorry, I just finished work.” Said Amir while sitting next to Rizky.

“Wa’alaikumussalam, no problem.” Answer Rizky. “So, this is the woman you told me about.” Further.

“Tell?” Ask Arumi curiously.

“Ah, the.” Amir looks embarrassed.

“Let Brother alone explain.” Rizky mediates the two of them.

Amir looks relieved.

“So, before we discuss more serious problems. Brother wants to ask you first. Are you ready?” Rizky asked Arumi.

Arumi who still did not understand could only nod her head slowly.

“Do you already have a future husband?”

“Hah?” Arumi looked very surprised.

“Be-yet sih.” Replied Arumi nervously.

“Alhamdulillah.” Rizky. “Today, my purpose for inviting you here with Amir is to ask, are you willing to be Amir's wife?”

“Hah? Mean apply?” Ask Rumi.

“Iya.” Sahut Amir precedes Rizky.

Arumi lowered her head and looked like she was confused to think of something.

Rizky and Amir looked at each other. Fill their minds together. Could it be that Arumi wanted to resist but felt bad?

“If you mind..”.

“No, not that.” Arumi immediately cut Amir's sentence.

“Then why do you look upset?” Ask Amir gently.

“I have a condition, do not know whether you are willing or not.” Answer Arumi slowly.

“What are the conditions? Just say.” Pinta Amir's.

Arumi was silent, as if she was putting together a sentence in her mind.

“I have a Brother. If I step in getting her married, then you should give her whatever she asks for compensation.” Arumi answered while lowering her head.

“Oh, that's all. Not a big deal.” Reply Amir. “If I am able, I will definitely give you whatever he wants.” Further.

“Alhamdulillah, I'm glad to hear it.” Arumi.

“Alright, day already want maghrib.” Rizky. “We'd better go home. Next time if there's a chance we'll definitely meet your brother.” Reciprocity.

“Good, thank you.” Arumi Sahut.

“We will take you home.” Amir.

“Ah, no need. I can take a taxi. Later keburu maghrib.” Arumi politely declined Amir's offer.

Amir drove Arumi to the front of the cafe and found a taxi for him. Rizky was waiting for Amir in his car.

“Arumi very polite and meek girl. Reminds me of Aura. Allah is not wrong in choosing Amir. And I'm sure Arumi and Aura will definitely become Brother Sisters who get along.” Rizky said to herself while watching Amir and Arumi.

Not long after that, Amir got into Rizky's car. The two of them went straight home with relief and happiness.

At the Arumi house.

“Assalamu’alaikum, I go home.” Arumi said as soon as she entered.

No one answered his greetings.

“Looks like Brother Arin is not home.” Mumbled.

“Somehow Arin's sister's reaction will be when she finds out that I'm going to step over her marriage. May Brother Arin Ridho O Allah. Aamiin.”

Arumi went to take a shower and continued to pray maghrib. After that he continued to tilawah.

After a few yards, he heard the sound of the door opening. Arumi stopped his lie and went to meet Arin.

Arin sat in front of the tv holding his head.

“Kak why? Dizziness?” Ask Arumi.

“Nothing. Just think of something.” Answer Arin.

“Oh, so.”

Then Arumi was silent. He was compiling a sentence to convey this happy news to his Brother.

“Kak.”

“Iya.”

“If I get married sooner than you, how?” Ask Arumi slowly.

“What? Married?” Arin looked very shocked to hear this word married.

“I-iya, Sister.” Replied Arumi nervously.

“Married to whom?” Ask Arin enthusiastically.

“With Amir.”

“Amir? Who's that guy?”

“He's my co-worker in the office, Kak.”

“Then how is his family background?”

“He's Young Master's sister Rizky.”

“Young Master Rizky? Who has a five-star hotel business?” Arin widened both his eyes.

“Iya, right. Sister knows him?”

“Unknown, but he's quite famous. That's why I'm familiar with his name.” Answer Arin.

“Thank you once Arumi will be part of Young Master Rizky's family. I'm so envious.” Arin murmured in the heart.

“Then, will you not work again after marriage?” Ask Arin.

“I haven't discussed this with Amir.” Answer Arumi.

“Alright, I bless you both.” Said Arin while stroking his sister's head. “After our parents are gone, I am where you lean. Now it looks like my position will be replaced soon.” Further.

“Sister, there will be nothing that can replace the position of Brother.” Arumi hugged Arin.

“So, are there no men that Big Brother likes, maybe we can get married together.” Arumi suddenly said.

“Plak.” Arin flicked at Arumi's forehead. “Do you think getting married is as easy as choosing clothes in a boutique?”

“Ahehee, of course not.” Answer Arumi. “I was just thinking, maybe there is someone Big Brother likes in silence, like I was before.” Further.

“You mean? Have you liked Amir for a long time?” Arin was a little surprised to hear Arumi's words.

“Iya, Brother. Since when did I start to like it. He's a nice guy, sholeh, he never even stared flirtatious at his female co-worker. Unlike most men out there.” Arumi answered seriously. “So, I often mendo’annya secretly, hehe. Thank God grant Do’aku it.” Sumringah.

“Ma is Allah, my sister is very smart to keep a secret.” Said Arin while pinching Arumi's cheek many times.

“Douh duh. Pain, Brother.” Said Arumi with a spoiled.

“Tau pain. Then why never tell it to Brother? Are you afraid Big Brother will snatch it from you?”

“Of course not. My brother is the best man. It is impossible to do that.” Arumi said and smiled broadly.

Arin and Arumi look at each other, throw smiles at each other and embrace.
