Pursuing the Duplicate Love of My Wife
19. If only

"Where will you be, brother," said Syifa.

"Just tomorrow night I'll pick you up, Fa, and you must be ready," said Fahmi who still kekeh want to invite, also want if the girl is willing to come. "Oh yes, Fa, I heard from Abi Hamdan .. Now you are teaching Elementary School teacher, huh? How much do you pay monthly?"

"Alhamdulillah, Brother. That's fine." Syifa smiled wryly while still bowing her face.

"How many lumayans? There's 10 million a month?"

"No, 3 million, sister," replied Syifa.

Fahmi suddenly heard the answer from Syifa. Though actually do not have to be surprised like that, because the average teacher salary is fairly small. "3 million? Seriously you, Fa?"

"Yes. Why, huh, brother?"

"Small pay. I'm only 3 million to make a day at the most, let alone after college in Cairo. I think half a day of prayer," kekeh Fahmi, maybe he thought it was very funny. But according to Syifa, it was just like an insult. It feels bad to see him laugh too, make it enchanty.

'I feel like Fahmi's arrogant, huh? Is it possible that he is such a person?' inner Syifa.

"Yes, yes, the Fa. I'll go home first then. I have an appointment with my friend who owns an expensive watch shop. Just want to buy a watch because," said Fahmi while standing up and justifying the shirt.

"Yes, Brother. Brother be careful on the street." Syifa smiled with great compulsion. Then stand up.

"Assalamualaik."

Salam palaikum."

Fahmi stepped out of the house, then shook hands with Abi Hamdan and Umi Maryam before returning home.

"How's Fahmi, Fa? Perfect, right?" ask Abi Hamdan who just went inside with his wife.

"His face is perfect, but not with his heart" Syifa replied with a frown.

"That means?!" Abi Hamdan's eye brows seemed to be in chains.

"Kak Fahmi turns out to be arrogant, Bi. Don't like me as much as a cocky guy." Syifa shook her head, then stepped towards her room. Abi Hamdan and Umi Maryam followed.

"How arrogant? Don't bother you, Fa. His son's polite like that." Abi Hamdan looks in disbelief.

"In fact, he was arrogant" said Syifa, then tidied his books on the table. "The first time I talked about my salary, he said small. More than his pocket money. Not very much."

"Kayak is so not arrogant, Fa, it is indeed true .. if compared to your salary is bigger the pocket money he. Fahmi 'is a rich man's son, '" replied Abi Hamdan. Clearly, he seemed to side with Fahmi, and assumed that the man was the perfect man for his son.

"I know, but still not pantes is to be talked, Bi," said Syifa pouting.

"But Abi hopes you and Fahmi get to know each other better, Fa. You guys are very suitable because," Abi Hamdan said while sitting in bed with Umi Maryam.

"Fahmi's father proposed, not Abi's intention. But it doesn't matter either, anyway, if you guys ta'aruf, Fa."

"I don't want to!" firmly Syifa while shaking rapidly.

"Why?"

"Kok Abi asked why? I already gave you the answer, I don't like it because Fahmi's sister is an arrogant man."

"That's just your feeling, Fa. Can't su'uzan the manga," admonished Abi Hamdan. "Lagian .. You also just talked once. I don't know his true nature yet. Though his original son was very nice, polite again. Yeah, right, Umi?" Abi Hamdan looked at his wife. Ask him to agree with his opinion.

"According to Umi too, anyway," said Umi Maryam. He gave an answer according to what was judged from his point of view.

"Whatever, the point is I don't want to!" syifa.

"You can't just reject it that way, Fa, no good. And about Fahmi taking dinner .. we all have to go," he said, then stood up, then walked out of Syifa's room.

So did Umi Maryam, but before coming out she stroked the top of Syifa's head first.

The girl was also upset. Then sit on the bed. "It's so weird Abi. The same turn Mr. Joe he immediately asked me to refuse him, but the same turn of Kak Fahmi I can not immediately refuse."

Syifa paused for a moment, then exhaled heavily while looking at her ring finger. And instantly, Joe's grieving face suddenly reflected in his brain. "Hhhaaa .. If Mr. Joe were not a Christian, but yes. His name is destiny."

***

In Joe's office.

The handsome, narrow-eyed man stood up from his work chair, having finished his work until 7pm.

Both of his legs also stepped closer to Robert who was lying on the sofa with a prone position. The boy fell asleep from his sleep, after he took an afternoon bath with Joe. She was taken to eat from lunch, she was angry and chose to lie on the sofa while looking at the wallet-sized photo in her hand.

"It's a kid, he can sleep without lunch" Joe murmured as he shook his head. He grabbed the child's body, then carried it. Want to take her home.

However, a piece of photo that Robert had been holding had suddenly fallen on the floor, with a closed position.

Joe slowly crouched down, then grabbed the photo. And after seeing it, it turns out that the photo is not the usual Sonya photo he knows if the child is always looking at him, but the photo is a photo of Robert with Syifa.

I don't know when the photo was taken until it was printed like that. The background is like being in the room but Robert is wearing a red and white uniform.

Both of them smiling happily, Syifa embraces Robert's shoulder while Robert shows off his V-shaped finger.

"When was this photo taken? What was yesterday?" mumbling Joe. Then he did not realize he was touching Syifa's face photographed it. But instantly, his chest felt a throbbing pain for some reason. "If you weren't Muslim, Fa, I'd have you."

...Should anyone succumb means 🙈...
