"Miss... There was a person in front" Faraz shouted as he nengucek his eyes. Last night he stayed up late to do his work that was delayed so he slept again after the dawn prayer.
But his favorite aunt did not also show his nose makes Faraz inevitably have to open the door.
"You? Why are you here in the morning?"
"Morning morning? It's 10 and a half, Sarfaraz"
"Yes on?"
"Am I not allowed in?"
"What are you really doing?" Faraz asked while deliberately standing right in the middle of the door, gesturing the guest not to be welcomed there.
"First, the guest is king, so treat me well. Second, I'm older than you, so show your respect for the older ones. Third, I'm your sister's future husband, which means you'll be your sister-in-law, so show your affection for your sister-in-law"
"Is there any more duty to you, Mr Degazi?"
"Some, call my future wife. We have an appointment with the designer" Amar said in the style of a boss. Making Faraz must refrain from punching the handsome face of his sister-in-law candidate
"Two of you?" ask Faraz full of probes.
"Within, on our trip the three of us because there was Bobby, and later we were also three because there was Valerie"
"Who's Valerie?"
"Designer's gonna make your sister's wedding dress. Now let me in or get Maryam!" amar's orders made Faraz snort.
"First, I'm your sister-in-law's candidate, so don't command me and show your manners to your future sister-in-law. Second, you must be accompanied by your family members or Maryam's family, the driver and designer are not included. So I'll accompany you"
Still standing in the doorway, Amar watched Faraz from top to bottom. The architect was wearing only knee-length pants with sleeveless and barefoot shirts. As for Amar, as usual he is very neat with his expensive suit.
"You don't work? It's already 10 and a half hours and you haven't even taken a shower yet, how will your company grow if you're lazy slack"
"Hello, Mr. Degazi. Who are you commenting on me like that?"
"As a senior businessman I only advise juniors like you"
"You..."
"Amar, have you come?" faraz's words had to be cut off because his mother "Faraz arrived, why did Amar not ask to come in? Maryam was again ready at the top" said the mother and casually Amar entered through Faraz who just stared intently at her.
"Thank you, Auntie" said Amar then landed his butt on the sofa without being invited.
"Faraz, are you going to the office?" asked the mother because she saw the appearance of her son was still random.
"Engga, Ummi. Faraz wants to nemenin Maryam"
"That's right, there's Amar's grandmother who won them over"
"It looks like his grandmother did not come" said Faraz because Amar had told him that.
"Yes, Aunt. Granny's got a headache, so you can't come along"
"Hem so, has he taken any medication?"
"Have" replied Amar briefly.
"Yes, if that's the case, Faraz you're quickly ready to be ready gih" ordered the mother who directly obeyed Faraz.
Amar breathed heavily, he really did not want to disturb Faraz but whatever the power, Maryam would not want to walk alone either.
While in her room, Maryam was ready. She wore a Muslim dress as usual and was paired with a wedgez sneaker. Somehow he prefers sneakers rather than flat shoes or shoes that are too girly like Afsana.
Maryam was very surprised actually when told by her Abi that her marriage to Amar was two weeks away. Maryam was in disbelief and it was too soon for her, but her Abi explained that the sooner the better. Maryam did not expect for two more weeks she would become a wife when she was still quite young.
"Maryam, Amar below" called her Ummi as she entered Maryam's room.
Asma looked at her daughter with a glare, she was also surprised because as soon as her daughter was getting married.
"What's up, Ummi?" asked Maryam softly who saw her mother look sad.
"Ummi didn't expect that soon you would get married, son" said the mother as she rubbed her cheek "Ummi pray that your household is filled with happiness and God meridhoi her"
"The Ridho of Allah lies in the ridho of the elderly, Ummi. Did Ummi and Abi meridhoi Maryam marry Amar?" maryam asked and then grabbed her mother's hand and kissed the back of her hand.
"Of course" replied the mother with her sweet smile "Oh yes, her grandmother Amar is sick, so you go with Faraz"
"Well, what's wrong" Maryam replied.
Amar won't take Maryam to a boutique to find her wedding dress, but he will call a famous designer to make her a beautiful wedding dress, Valerie.
Valerie is an Indonesian designer but works in Australia. And specifically Amar called her to Indonesia for the sake of the future wife.
And for the wedding ring, of course Amar would not take Maryam around the gold shop to find the ring they wanted, but Amar had called Alexander, someone who would make their wedding ring specifically.
"I don't want anything too fancy, too simple" Maryam told the beautiful, elegant woman in front of her, Valerie.
"I flew from Australia to Indonesia just for you, Maryam. How could I possibly make a simple dress for you" Valerie replied. Currently, the two are in a boutique owned by Valerie who is kolala by her sister. And his own sister, Becca, measured Maryam.
"And don't worry about the price, because Degazi's money won't run out even if you ask for ten expensive dresses" Becca continued to make Maryam small.
"Make a loose yes, because I don't want to wear a too fitting" said Maryam who still holds the principle that Muslim women should not wear clothes that form the curves of his body.
"You're weird, every woman wants a dress that fits her body to look sleek and sexy" Becca replied.
"Yes but I don't want anything like that"
"You can understand, you take it easy, Maryam. I'll make a dress that suits you" Valerie exclaimed.
"Is her dress ready in two weeks?" ask Mary again.
"It's too urgent, but we promise it'll be over quickly. Amar paid us very expensive, so we'll just focus on your dress"
"It's so overkill" Maryam murmured that Becca and Valerie laughed, because like her Maryam didn't want to enjoy the money Degazi spent.
"If I were you, I would definitely make the best use of Degazi's money. Shopping for branded goods, I will even ask for a wedding gift of a luxurious house, luxury car or ask for some of his property" said Becca.
"Astaghfirullah" muttered Maryam who heard Becca's rant and it again invited Valeri and Becca's laughter.
After finishing the dress business, Amar now brought Maryam and Faraz to meet Alexander at a jewelry store owned by Alexander. Dresses and rings are two of the most important things.
Once there, they were immediately greeted by a sexy girl and immediately drove them to meet Alexander in his room.
"Good day, Mr. Amar, Mr. Sarfaraz, and Miss Maryam" Alexander said. After a little chat, Alexander showed the design of the wedding ring to Amar and Maryam. And they can choose to use anything, diamonds, gold, rubies, sapphires or whatever the bride and groom want.
"Where do you want, Maryam?" ask Amar.
"Just give it up" answered Maryam because she was confused which one to choose.
"I suggest this one..." Alexander pointed to one of the rings that his model simple with rectangular diamond stone that makes it look beautiful "It looks very suitable for a girl as graceful as Miss Maryam"
"How do you think?" ask Amar to Mary.
"Good" Maryam replied, because all the pictures she saw were very good.
"The model is simple, but the sparkle of a diamond with a rectangular model will be very beautiful on the ring finger of prospective Madame Degazi" continued Alexander "So, let me measure your ring finger, let me measure your ring finger, Miss" Alexander reached out his hand but Maryam reluctantly welcomed the gesture.
Of course, Maryam never came into contact with anything that wasn't her mahram.
"Let me" said Faraz to make Alexander confused.
"But why?" ask Alexander.
"He had no contact with the non-muhrim, so let his brother measure his so" replied Amar and Alexander nodded in understanding. Then he gave a device to measure the finger and told Faraz how to measure it correctly.
"Well, it's done" Alexander said after Faraz had measured Maryam's finger "I'll try to get this ready before your wedding day"
"Thank you very much, sir" cried Maryam. And after talking about several things including payment, all three were saying goodbye.
Faraz could see his sister looking happy, and of course Faraz was also happy to see that.
He rubbed Maryam's head and said
"Hopefully this smile of your happiness will never be lost, Dek" Faraz said very gently and affectionately. And at once it reminded Amar of Amora. If only Amora were alive....
"I promise I will always make her happy, Sarfaraz" Amar said confidently.
"Must!" faraz said "If until my sister cries because of you, you will end up in my hands" he said sharply but it made Amar chuckle. While Maryam could only sigh because like her Faraz would not be a good sister-in-law to Amar.
"Maryam has class at 2, so now can Maryam anterin to campus?" maryam asked as she looked at the two handsome men in front of her.
"Yes" replied Amar and soon his third got into the car Amar for winning Faraz did not bring his own car. Not because of anything, but he did not want that until his sister was just alone with Amar. Faraz even had Maryam sit in front and she sat side by side with Amar in the back.
After taking Maryam to her college, Amar was about to drive Faraz home. But Faraz asked Amar to take him to his office because he had so much work to do.
And to be honest, they used to be very nice in the car because they were talking about the Amar hotel project. But now alone in the car as a prospective brother-in-law, ah somehow Faraz and Amar alike feel dislike because of their respective egos. As a result both are equally silent, making Bobby wonder and glance at them from the rearview mirror.
"These candidates-in-law are like a pair of sulking lovers"
