LOVE THE CHILDREN OF JURAGAN
Equally Confused

After Mentari finished changing clothes, he and Erdana headed to Kartika's doctor's room to listen to the doctor's briefing.

Yasmin returned to the ER.

The busyness in the room made Yasmin forget the time. He will read the message Erdana sent to him when the time has shown at 2 pm.

Yas, I called but you didn't pick it up. Busy again, huh? I

and Mentari is home. Don't forget lunch, do you? Your stomach acid yesterday recurred?

I've left your medicine left in the room with Prayuda.

Yasmin smiled reading a message from Erdana. Although Erdana was busy with Mentari's problems, her husband still noticed her. Maybe the cure left in his room was what made Erdana know that Yasmin was getting acid attacks again.

"I want to have lunch first, okay?" pamit Yasmin on the nurse guard then she immediately headed to Prayuda's room to take the medicine.

tock.....

"Lake in!"

Yasmin opened the door to Prayuda's room when she heard the owner of the room let her in.

"Sister....!" Yasmin stopped seeing Elif there. The two sat on the sofa facing each other. On the table there was a bushel containing food that was almost exhausted. It looks like they just had lunch together.

Yasmin's heart was like being pinched seeing them seem familiar to one another.

"Sister, sorry to bother you. I want to take the medicine that Erdana's brother left me with." Yasmin said.

"Oh, it's on the table. You haven't had lunch?" prayuda asked without hiding his worries.

"Yet, brother. Since then, the ER has been very crowded. The patient who entered did not stop. So there's only a chance for lunch." Yasmin said as she glanced briefly at the Elif doctor. Somewhat upset also because since then the doctor has disappeared from the ER in case there are 3 pregnant patients who need special treatment.

"Even if you're busy, you should think about your health." Prayuda got up from his seat and immediately approached Yasmin. Unexpectedly, he took Yasmin's hand and gave a massage between her thumb and index finger. "This will give you first aid. Sick right?"

"Yes, brother." Yasmin replied as she endured the strange swish that appeared all over the surface of her skin due to Prayuda's touch.

"That's a sign your stomach is in trouble. Let me take a massage for a second, and then you take the medicine."

The Elif who saw that made his heart become hot. He had indeed seen that Prayuda was very attentive to Yasmin. Although Prayuda once said that he had known Yasmin since she was a child, because their father was a good friend, but as a mature woman, Elif could see there was something Prayuda was hiding behind the gaze.

"Erdana Furkan is your husband, right, Yasmin? And Mentari is his wife too? So you're polygamists?" Elif finally asks to corner Yasmin.

Yasmin's face turned slightly red. But he smiles too. "Yes, doc. I'm Erdana Furkan's second wife. I have great respect for Mentari as my first wife. We lived happily despite our polygamy because Erdana's sister was a fair husband and never let us down as his wives." Yasmin pulled her hand slowly from Prayuda's grasp. "Thank you, brother. I'm going to have lunch first." Then Yasmin took the medicine that was on Prayuda's desk. "Excuse me, Elif." Yasmin immediately came out without showing her regret for Elif's question, which seemed to want to corner Yasmin.

Elif stared at Prayuda. "Any huh? She's beautiful, young, how do you want to be polygamous? How big is the wealth of Erdana Furkan that they want to be polygamous?"

Prayuda looked at Elif with a look of dislike. "Doctor Elif, we can't judge a person's life without knowing how they've been through it with great difficulty. Nor do we have the right to interfere in their affairs. What matters is that neither Yasmin, nor her husband did anything wrong. Polygamy is not a sin?"

Elif smiled because he knew Prayuda did not like his attitude. But actually Elif wants to open Prayuda's eyes to not see Yasmin more than a sister.

"I want to check on the patient who just finished surgery this morning. Thanks for lunch." Prayuda put his white coat back on, put his phone in a suit bag and wrapped a telescope around his neck. He also came out.

Elif clenched her hands. "I'll get Prayuda any way. How could I lose to that married woman?"

**********

"El, iftad Ernes yesterday came to the house" said Naura made Elmira who was feeding As turn her head in shock.

"Ustad Ernes is here? How am I not told, anyway?"

"He had a lecture at a mosque near our house. I met you there and you invited him here. Be him to our house."

"Oh, that's the story."

"He also expressed his intention to build a relationship with you."

Elmira releases the As food plate whose contents are almost depleted. He called As's nanny to bring his father to Rp bath and nap.

"Mom mean, Ernes wants to propose to me?"

Naura nodded.

"Then what did you say?"

"Dad said it was up to you. Ustad Ernes wants to go through ta'aruf with you. That's why I asked you to come here. If you agree, they want the wedding to take place before it's not Ramadan."

"Is that fast?"

"It's also ta'aruf, son."

Elmira rests her back on the back of the sofa. He and Ernes never left. But they are many times met through various religious events both on the water and off the water. Elmira was even close to some of Ernest's family who really liked her. Elmira fans even said a special prayer so that the famous artist and the up-and-coming ustad could get married as soon as possible.

"Son, mom and dad never forced you to marry anyone. We support all of your decisions because you are going to make them. But father and mother also need to remind your age who has entered the number 27. Ustadz Ernes is a good guy. He's a Soleh man who will definitely be a good priest for you. But if you marry her, you should think carefully about your career as an artist. You can't just take the offer to play a movie because you're getting married to a cleric's family. You might have to stop being an artist. You see some artist who married an ustadz, eventually quit her job and supported her husband."

Elmira took a deep breath During these few months, she had known Ernest quite well. He was very slang and knew how to get the Beta youngsters to listen to his long lectures. Elmira feels comfortable with him. However, Elmira can't throw Nick out of her life.

"You haven't forgotten Nick?" ask Naura.

"Mom, I still love her. Even though I cut off my relationship with him myself, the truth is that I can't just erase his name from my heart. I want to accept the good intentions of ustadz Ernes. However, I do not want to make the good man as an escape. I'm confused, ma'am."

Naura held her daughter's hand. "That's to God, son. Ask Him for directions in your prayers."

***********

"Not home yet?"

Yasmin was shocked to hear Prayuda's voice behind her. He turned his body. "Sir Pra, make it a surprise."

"It's 8 o'clock."

"I know, brother. Brother hasn't come home yet?"

"I was serving the patient."

"Oh..." Yasmin just nodded. He took his white bag and suit. "I want to go home now."

"Eat already? Me and E.." Prayuda's words came to a halt when Elif's voice sounded.

"I'm ready, doc." The elif suddenly appeared. She has changed clothes and looks beautiful with her makeup.

"Elif invited me to dinner at his sister's cafe that was just opened. You wanna come?" ask Prayuda.

"Other times. I'm tired and a little sleepy. I ate with friends anyway. The food was given by Elif's doctor. Probably from the same cafe." Yasmin looked at Elif with a smile. He now knew that Elif's doctor had purposely detained them for dinner. He deliberately wants to show Yasmin that he and doctor Prayuda have a date tonight. Is my estimate right or wrong? But why would he want to show me that he's going with Prayuda's brother?

"Have fun. Yea..." Yasmin stepped up. Prayuda suppressed his feelings as he sensed that Yasmin's eyes seemed to be hurt looking at him with Elif. Is Yasmin jealous? Or is it just my feelings?

Yasmin sat in her car. Erdana called him. Yasmin said that she did not come home because she was going to work at the hospital. Yasmin lied so that Erdana could accompany Mentari. And now Yasmin is lonely. He needs Erdana.

************

Elmira opened the door to her apartment. He was shocked to see Erdana coming. "Tumben's here? It's already half twelve. Is it Yasmin's turn? It's Tuesday, isn't it?"

Erdana was still without caring about Elmira's question.

"You want coffee?" Elmira offers.

"Can."

Elmira makes two cups of coffee for him and Erdana. He and Erdana do like black coffee with a little sugar.

"You haven't answered my question. Why are you here?" elmira asked after handing over Erdana's coffee mug.

"No home to go to."

Elmira laughs. "No house? Your wife's two, you know."

"This is Yasmin's turn. But he did not come home because he will be on duty until tomorrow morning at the hospital. While Mentari won't accept me because he knows tonight is still Yasmin's turn. Where do I try to go?"

Elmira laughed again. "It's your fate, my brother."

"Polygamy is not good. Many polygamous men are dizzy because their wives are jealous of each other and compete to attract his attention. Both my wives are racing for me to be with the others longer and not themselves."

"Then don't be polygamous."

"I love them both."

"But they don't love you, Er."

"They love..."

"If they're dear, they'll definitely be racing to get your attention."

"Yasmin and Mentari have a similar way of expressing their love. By giving up on each other. Without them knowing, I was confused as to how."

"You want to sleep here?"

"Yes. Because I know you need friends, too. Says mom, ustadz Ernes wants to propose to you?"

"Yes." Yeah."

"You want to?"

"I haven't forgotten Nick."

"So?"

"I'm also confused as to how."

Erdana smile. "Then, make 2 more cups of coffee. Because we're both gonna need a lot of time to find a way out of this confusion."

Elmira smiles. He hugged Erdana with teary eyes. "Thank you for coming tonight."

The two twin brothers were delighted that they both remained there to support each other.
