The Charm of The Twins
74 Means two Men

Hilman glared in disbelief at what Ammar said. While Ammar immediately lowered his head because he was stared at by his mother. Gede looked at Hilman. He did not think that Hilman thought he was non-Muslim. Ammar, Bram and Ayra. They already know if Gede Muslim.

Because Qiya is not a princess who does not understand her breed as one of the descendants of Kyai Rohim. Where in gugguh and imitated by some santri. Although the three children of Ayra no one followed in the footsteps of the grandchildren born from the womb of Siti, who served to advance and develop her hut.

But for Santri-santri Kali Bening and citizens of Kali Bening will have great respect for Ayra and her children. Especially after sitting on the SD bench, Putri Ayra has mondok in Kali Bening.

It is impossible for their daughter to fall in love or ask if Gede is non-Muslim. Hilman smiled towards Gede. He smiled as a sign of respect. But in Gede's heart could see the gaze of competition.

"If you are indeed a match with Qiya. So today I am sure there are women who are more suitable and have prepared God for me." Inner Gede.

"Yes I'm here to propose to Qiya. But I am sorry, I am a Muslim by birth. My name sounds like a non-Muslim. Because the ones who gave me names and who raised me they are non-Muslims" said Gede steady.

But Hilman clenched his hand. Visible twinkle amazed in both eyeballs Ayra. He could see this man named Gede there was firmness. It just doesn't seem to be broken direction.

"It seems they've met before. Is this because Cita came here in a hurry." Inner Ayra was observing two men who were fighting over their only daughter.

"I hope today your Rama becomes Arjuna who gets the heart of the teacher Drona aka Papa Bram." Say Cita who imagined Doctor Gede like Arjuna who studied with Guru Drona, so that a person named Ekalaya was rejected as his student.

But when going to compete, the teacher asked for a ring on the thumb in Ekalaya's hand. So Arjuna became the winner of the competition because for archers it is not easy without a thumb.

The two girls were between the parapet between the vestibule and the living room which was used to welcome guests from the boarding school or close family.

You actually like Qiy, same doctor Gede. This is if you don't like it. Your parents, too, don't like it. Not only is doctor Gede injured and crying but I as Hanoman in your love story will be heartbroken and can also feel her pain of heartbreak." He whispered near the ears of his friend.

Qiya was silent. He was not worried that Doctor Gede would be rejected. But he was worried Hilman proposed to him first. Then Doctor Gede must wait first.

"Diem was Cit. This even can not hear what is being talked about." asked Qiya as if he did not hear the question and the contents of his best friend's heart.

"I'm hungry and thirsty Qiy.... My legs were also sprained. Then look at Ravana and his Rama." Whisper the Mind again.

Qiya looked at the feet of her best friend. That is what makes Cita love her best friend. Although they have different beliefs in religion. But find them loving each other as fellow human beings are so beautiful and sweet. Qiya immediately crouched down and looked at Cita's feet. As if he had forgotten his sense of regret about who would propose to him first. Princess Ayra's day was too gentle to be more self-centered when someone needed her.

It sometimes makes Cita angry because he sometimes likes to liken if it is not necessary to be a candle to make others happy.

"Why didn't you say that from earlier. Who's here first?" Qiya Protest.

"Ye.. who peed.." protested Cita.

Qiya stood up and took the backpack on his best friend's shoulder. He hooked on one shoulder. One arm squeezed Cita's arm. He led his friend to where Nur and Ibrahim were.

In the front room Mr. Toha also reflexively said the same thing to Bram.

"I'm sorry, Nak Bram and Nak Ayra. You're here to propose to Qiya again." Said Mr. Toha while looking at Hilman, Gede alternately.

"Who is this guy. Is he my grandfather? he's the father of that man?" Gede's doctor asked, observing Mr. Toha in his wheelchair. But when with family members, the grandchildren and their children prefer to push the chair..

Hilman is the proud grandson of Mr. Toha. He is intelligent, obedient and also loves himself very much. Although many other grandchildren but because they are often together when little Hilman make their inner contact is quite strong. Until Hilman separated from him when his wife was sick with stroke and he could not take care of Hilman. So at that time Mr. Rendra lodged his son in pesantren. So that he does not worry about the condition of his son if along in living looking for money.

Not to mention Mr. Rendra almost always looked down on the teachers of the child. He thinks pesantren is like a daycare. Where he pays then he does not think that the importance of parents to the child's teacher or have respect and love for the teacher who has taught and guided his child.

So this is what Hilman might be. Long time in the cottage, man, can be smart to read the book but the first intention when it is lodged that is not in line with the parents who should expect their children to be children Sholeh not so that the child is not wrong and he does not mind his son is free to go anywhere running a business.

Just now Bram wanted to answer Ayra's one right hand as if her one finger was spinning twice but fast enough. Then the rotating index finger landed on the tip of his eye like cleaning the dirt in his eyes. That way people will assume that Ayra cleans her eyes that feel there is dirt. The finger swivel before landing on the tip of his eye is a body language that only an aging partner understands with him.

"Ehm.... Hereinbefore. Mr. Toha, Nak Gede. We're gonna propose to a girl tonight for Ammar. And we've been telling the girl's family. So I apologize, what if tomorrow afternoon Nak Hilman and Nak Gede come here again. Around 4 o'clock maybe. I was home at the time. I apologize for not finishing preparations for tonight. We welcome what Mr. Toha and Nak Gede want. We also had to ask our daughter. No matter how he is going to live it. Yet... " Bram's words stopped he hesitated to continue saying no.

Bram had learned a lot about adab during his marriage to Ayra. Especially adab to his parents or in-laws.

But he also had to touch the figure of Hilman so as not to be too confident.

"But we, as parents, also want to take part in our daughter's big decision. I don't want my daughter to be sad let alone hurt when married for choosing the wrong life partner" Bram said firmly.

"Cool.... Checkmate. If I were Hilman. I'm not coming tomorrow. Dalem is Papa's word." Inner Ammar. He was happy at least two men could not carelessly to his sister. Bram's wise but firm figure makes Ayra feel relieved.

He actually asked for time if he wanted to reject Hilman, not in front of Mr. Toha. The love for Kyai Rohim and Ayra also saw a lot to hear the story of Abinya how the figures of friends, neighbors who always succeed the event Abi, cottage activities. Even if you think about it, Mr. Toha is one of the meritorious people in the boarding house Kali Bening. Although Mr. Toha himself never puffed his chest on the people or children of Kyai Rohim's descendants.

Ayra understands Mr. Toha's love for Kyai Rohim, she hopes to continue to have a good relationship with her family. And maybe hope his grandson can make the grandson of a friend also a Teacher for Mr. Toha.

The three Bram Guests also enjoy the drinks and dishes that have been provided.

"I hope tomorrow that Hilman and Nak Gede can come here by themselves so that they can talk from heart to heart. I'm also confused because you guys came together. Who came first Nak Hilman but who first conveyed his wish Nak Gede. Then tomorrow be fair, I also want to know what you two are like." Obviously Bram is back.

Mr. Toha mangosteen. Hilman smiled happily. He knows where Bram's talking is going. Whereas Gede he still held back the crumbling feeling of his body and hoped that he could get the same answer from old man Qiya. Not that he is confident. But chatting with Qiya last time, he could make sure if there was a mutual attraction, yearning for each other to be together in their hearts. But aware that the idol of the son of Sholehah, he also had to fight to reach the heart of the girl's parents.

So that afternoon Gede was forced to stay at the hotel, buy new clothes and could not accompany Niang Ayu. He actually forbade Mother and Niang Ayu to follow. He only worries if he is directly with his parents. Because Gede thought, the chance of him being accepted fifty fifty with the chance of him being rejected. Then at least if rejected, enough he who feels shame and pain. Parents do not feel because they are not present.

"Later Niang, if it's positively received. We just officially applied. This I also have to go through the selection first it seems." Gede said to Niang Ayu via videocall.

"Well, use selection. Is it more than one who applied Kiya?" Niang Ayu said curiously.

"QS. Q-I-Y-A-S. Qiya Niang's." Gede Say.

"Qiya. Yes Qiya. How many people have proposed to him besides you?" Ask Niang Ayu.

"One, that's also his former fiancee" Gede said as is.

"Ge..."

"Yes Niang."

"Watch your Nadong knowledge. Cower down like rice. You have to be honest about what could be the reason you and Mayang ran aground. So as not to return to be a problem in the middle of the road." said Niang Ayu..

The conversation ended with Gede asking for the blessing of Bu Ratih and Niang Ayu for his convenience tomorrow.

Niang Ayu actually knew from Ratih that Ayra was the daughter of Kyai Rohim. He could be present to accompany the grandson hoping to be accepted by his proposal. But he did not want the sacred relationship of marriage to begin just because the impression of unpleasant refused because he was good friends Umi Laila and Kyai Rohim.

Although rarely to Kali Bening. But Ayra will also remember the figure of the doctor from Bali if met.

"God knows best for Gede. You must not worry too much about Ratih." said Niang Ayu when he saw Bu Rati pensive.

Madam Ratih quickly wiped away her tears.

"Hopefully this time he won in the trial in this world of Niang. It was enough that he at the trial only asked for one name to be on his birth certificate. Hopefully Gede can withstand the pain in Mas Rendra and intend his proposal not because he wants to beat the son of Mas Rendra. But really want to marry Qiya." said Ratih sobbing.
