Dr. Yudha

It was Monday, as usual Yudha was going to the hospital for work.

"Ma, Pa, I go first" Yudha said to her parents who were having breakfast at the dinner table.

"Aren't you having breakfast, baby?" ask Helena the Mama.

"In God I fast Ma" said Yudha.

"Oh my God" said Helena.

"Yudha, did you meet Ardi yesterday? Papa look at your sosmed, what's the show? That's in your contract, right?" ask Rendra.

"Ardi taught the nursing child at my college, lived in the front building of my contract, at that time I got a limo pizza voucher that ended that day, yes, I want to spend my own pizza, he said, so I invited them to eat together" replied Yudha.

"Oh, there's a woman too, who is she?"

"Oh, that's Najma Pa, time forgot," said Yudha.

"If the one who wears Papa's veil also knows it's Ardi's wife, the other one next to him,"

"It was Qumil, Najma's friend from childhood, her neighbor as well, she attended the same college as me, the Qumil family who accompanied Najma when she got married" Yudha continued.

"Oh yes, papa just remembered, who had a Muslim clothing store right?"

"Yes Pa, why?"

"You don't want marriage?" tanya Rendra shot Yudha directly.

"Yes want Pa, but know for yourself there is no candidate," Yudha scratched her non-itchy hair.

"That's a pretty girl" Rendra said.

"Huh? Girl, you mean Papa Qumil?" Yudha.

"Yes" said Rendra.

"He's still in college second semester Pa, our lifespan is also far,"

"Regular college can be married, which can not get pregnant right." said Helena who seems also happy with Qumil.

"Don't you mind if I'm with Qumil?" ask Ardi.

"Ga papa, as long as you are happy" said Rendra.

"Ntar deh Pa, try to think again, I left first, many patients today, assalamualaikum," said Yudha.

"Waalaikumusalam," replied Rendra and Helena.

After Yudha's car leaves the house, Helena and Rendra continue their conversation.

"Mas actually asked Yudha to marry Qumil?" ask Helena.

"Yes, just like anyone, who is good, polite, as long as we make children happy,"

"Why suddenly changed dear, pas Yudha asked for ta'aruf with Najma, Mas seemed to disagree,"

"Najma is too good for Yudha, he graduates of pesantren, while our son used to still like the aura, now I see he has started to change, see for himself he now often fasts sunnah too, so do I, hopefully can be a sholihah soul mate," said Rendra.

At lunchtime, Yudha sat on the sofa of her break room. Since he didn't have lunch, after the prayer, he just relaxed on that sofa.

He took his device and replied to some messages that he had just responded to, and he wanted to see the photos he took yesterday while with Ardi, Najma, and Qumil. He looked at it several times and focused on the image of Qumil.

'Maaa Allah is also beautiful this girl, but does she want me to marry, we are at a distance of ten years, ' inwardly Yudha.

"Assalamualaikum," said Ardi who nongol from behind the door.

"Waalaikumusalam, here bro enter," said Yudha.

"Ga eat?"

"Fasting,"

"Oh, what else is bro?" asked Ardi who was sitting next to Yudha.

"This week kumpulin again, your house is good bro make a gathering," pinta Ardi.

"You have heard that Najma is the same as Qumil" said Yudha again.

"That Qumil already has Ar's girlfriend?" ask Yudha then.

"There's no power, why? Do you like Qumil?" ardi Goda.

"My father likes him" replied Yudha.

"Well, what does that mean? Papa you want to marry me again?" Ardi was surprised.

"Alright, I like Qumil for me to marry,"

"Well, who is Yud?"

"Yes,"

"How do you want to? Wanna?" ask Ardi again.

"I'm not the one who should be asked, he's Ar, if he wants a young marriage, he's still in college one semester two, I know, I'm this old,"

"I'm with Najma also ten years apart Jud,"

"Oh yeah, Najma, ask Najma what's going on" Yudha's head thought.

"Solicit what?"

"Nanjain to Qumil, but yes do not blatantly ask.

" Yes, I know what you mean, in shay Allah I will tell Najma, yes I want to visit the patient to the general hospital first, Yud assalamualaikum," Ardi said before leaving.

"Waalaikumusalam" answered Yudha.

"Ah, hmmm Mas tau ga, Qumil was very understanding with doctor Yudha, almost every time I called him he must have called it the name of doctor Yudha," said Najma when her husband conveyed the meaning of his best friend earlier.

"Is she?"

"Yes, really,"

"Have, I'll say Yudha, but don't tell me that Qumil ngefans, it could be pensive for him, ah how would you say it," Ardi thought hard.

"Eh Mas, but I don't know yet if Qumil wants to marry a young man,"

"Yes, try tanyain, but don't tell Qumil that Yudha wants to invite him to marry,"

"Yes, if there is an opportunity in Allah I ask, but why is it that Doctor Yudha suddenly? Do you like Qumil after our meeting yesterday?" Najma.

"Yudha didn't say he liked it, his papa liked it, look at the photo of Qumil in ig Yudha" Ardi said.

"Oh," when he was jealous of Qumil, when he had dinner with Yudha's family, his father looked stiff and rarely smiled at him. Perhaps it was because he was an orphan, while Qumil's parents were still complete. Ah but now he felt much better after marrying Ardi, instead of comparing Yudha with Ardi, both good people, but Allah certainly gave the best soul mate for His servant, and Ardi is the best for him.

"Well, why? Sad, didn't you go to Yudha?" ask Ardi. Najma felt troubled by Ardi's question which was true, but tried to cover it for the good and safety of his household.

"Who says I am sad, just surprised how suddenly the doctor Yudha likes Qumil, and I am not sad, does not God always give the best for His servant, he said, and this is the best match of God for me," said Qumil who smiled broadly while cupping Ardi's two cheeks who finally smiled as well.

"Naik yuk Mas, it's cold here" asked Najma, because from then on they both sat in the living room and talked after reading the Quran.

"Yeah yuk, it's our night up," Ardi stood up.

"Mas," call Najma spoiled.

"Yes Babe,"

"I want to carry,"

"The payment is expensive to carry to the upper room,"

"Whatever it is Mas, I pay Sir," 💕💕
