The Charm of The Twins
78 Arrival of Two Men

Bram and Hilman seemed to tell a story about the political conditions as well as the atmosphere of their region which is often the basic needs up and down. Even the oil that had occurred scarcity became an interesting chatter from Bram and Hilman.

When the two people look familiar and fun, the presence of Gede actually makes the mood of Hilman immediately turned ugly. He who had felt above the wind because of the warmth of Bram in welcoming himself and told about many things that he really liked and mastered. Now it must be interrupted by the presence of doctors who become rivals.

Doctor Gede greeted Bram and also Hilman.

"I'm sorry it's too late, sir, I was lost. It's new to me in this town." Said Dr. Gede who did have time to spin how many times to ensure the house whose number is the goal. Until he took the initiative to ask people, then he knew that he had passed the house how many times.

"Oh it's okay. Please sit down." said Bram kindly.

Hilman gave Gede a little space. At the Gazebo, the three men were just talking about common things. Precisely in the kitchen the women there busy their eyes glanced towards the Gazebo which can be seen from the kitchen.

"Where's the brother whose name is Doctor Gede?" Tanya Nur was curious.

"That's Nur, who wears a brown shirt. Looks like the people's representative knows your brother's favorite color thing." Seloroh Ammar while biting his apple. He saw the green clothes worn by Hilman because his sister did like the color.

But seeing her brother enjoying the fruit while standing up. Qiya, who was seen using an apron in the kitchen, pulled out a chair and sat Ammar down.

"Ndak ilok." said Qiya with a smile.

Ammar half laughed at Qiya's face.

"Tell Nur, was your face the same as when I was in my sister's room?" Ask Ammar. Nur returned to where he sat.

"I can't even be happy or show my expression. Because I was lying in a hospital gurney when Ibra proposed to me." Nur said as she looked at her husband who was sitting cross-legged in front of Umi Laila.

"Nur, are there no signs yet of Ibra beginning to remember?" tanya Qiya while peeling cucumber which is certainly a favorite menu of the mistress at home was also Umi Laila.

"not like him. But Mas Ibra had found one habit before he went missing" Nur said.

"Why not try to exercise control to the psychologist to recover faster." Sara Qiya to her sister.

"Nur did not dare. Mas Ibra also at that time did not agree to Papa's advice the same as brother's advice." Nur.

She did not have the courage to ask or take her husband to a psychologist. Her husband's cold impression actually makes himself more distance.

Ayra asked her housekeeper to deliver the cake she had ordered to greet the two people.

Bram was observing from behind his glasses. Two men for whom there was a resemblance in the eyes, eyebrows and nose. But indeed Hilman's body is a little thinner than doctor Gede. Like Dude Herlino, it is more or less like the good looks of Doctor Gede. But his body was a little white from the artist.

"So nak Gede lives in a Muslim minority huh. How can I worship there." Bram asked curiously.

"Thank God, I met Niang who really had the concept that do not interfere between religions with the nation. Especially for the business of helping fellow humans. He never looked at his religion. But more to the person needs help and must be helped." Doctor Gede.

Yes Niang Ayu and husband long enough to live in Kalo Bening. The figures of Kyai Rohim and Umi Laila have their own place in their hearts as a minority living in the majority. How the figure of Grandpa Shidqia Nafisah has an understanding and thought about Indonesia is not a religious country but a country whose people are religious. Indonesia is a national state not a religious state. Kyai Rohim is one of the scholars who do not contradict between religion and Pancasila. For him, Pancasila is not a religion and does not change religion.

"Betul, the middle eastern state alone failed many communities, and failed in coexistence with the diversity of the nation. It's even so easy a war mem noah ma'am." Hilman also commented on what Bram also conveyed exactly as what his father-in-law had chattered when there were some groups who always made a rowdy country. Religious life in Indonesia as if only his religion and his beliefs are the most true.

Though living in Indonesia is so beautiful because it can pray, fasting even make a living without worrying in case anyone hurts, if - if the family at home is sick. As a Middle Eastern country, do not enjoy the Salat lail, pray five times they may have to rush because it could be anytime a missile targets them. Or the enemy is coming to their place. Beautiful Indonesia, which has approximately 714 tribes, can live side by side and can worship quietly.

"Yes. Sometimes these days. There are a group of people who pay less far, less thick ngopinya. Pancasila is considered to be the same as religion. We who live in Indonesia and based on Pancasila, are considered heretical. Really sometimes want to laugh, but I am happy, son Gede can learn Islam that is full of gentleness even though living in a minority environment." said Bram who was seen leaning his body on the chair of Lesehan in the Gazebo.

Bram also asked Hilman's opinion occasionally regarding what he thought from the point of view had been one of Furqon's students.

As they chatted, it seemed Ayra was approaching.

Soon the Maghrib prayer. The arrival of two guests who almost 5 o'clock arrived was deliberate by Bram. This is where he will see one of them. Not only the point of view of prospective daughters-in-law seeing the world but also how they worship. He knew what he was like when he got married. It is zero religious science. He did not want to happen again the story of his wife who is smarter than her husband.

Hilman felt more and more in the wind. Kala Ammar proclaimed the Adhan and He was asked to be the Imam of the Maghrib prayer. He also confidently imitated the Magrib prayer. Santri who was hymn long enough, made the reading of Al Fatihah and a short letter which Bram said was not short that Hilman read so melodious. He also when praying again chose the best dhikr.

Gede was not discouraged when Hilman was asked by the prospective in-laws to become priests, he was more self-aware. He is not an alumnus of any boarding school. So to become a priest, Hilman is indeed more deserving than himself. After the Maghrib prayer, Bram asked his guests to eat together. At dinner, Hilman looks the last to come to the dining table. Maybe he read some of the practices he used to read when he finished praying.

Umi Laila, Eyang Lukis and the Bram family occasionally glanced at the two men who both dared not raise their heads. Bram deliberately pulled the chair that was beside him. When the guest is present. And the two men sat next to him Ayra, Qiya and two of his family. Ammar sat on the side of Bram, who was also on Hilman's side.

Abraham sat next to Gede. He sat down by Ibrahim's side. After dinner, it was as if what Bram had planned went smoothly. He asked his two guests to pray Isya had just returned home.

If it was in the prayer magrib Hilman who was asked by Bram to become a priest. Now Bram invites Gede. Instantly the doctor's face was pale. He who had been the mother of Hilman felt inferior to him.

"No Sir. Let me be more worthy." refused doctor Gede.

"It's okay. Honor for me can be a makmum nak Gede." said Bram.

"Or let Mas Hilman alone." said Gede politely while his gesture allowed Hilman to become a priest.

"It's okay, Gede. I was a priest of Magrib. This is not a mosque. But Mushola. Please." Hilman. He could have replaced Gede who was asked to become a priest by Bram.

He understood the purpose and purpose of Bram asking them to come in the afternoon. He deliberately refused, at least the inner Hilman if the assessed reading and how to lead prayer, then Hilman was one step ahead. Then of course the choice of his in-laws will fall on him who is better to become a priest instead of Gede who is not an alumnus of boarding school.

Ammar patted Gede's shoulder while whispering.

"Come on the sister-in-law. To be my brother's priest. Masa' became a prayer priest only you are not confident." Ammar's passion for the man he prefers to be his sister-in-law rather than Hilman. So he felt as if he was timses for the handsome doctor's union with his sister. It seems to be part of the mind. The two doctors are united in marriage.

Finally Gede accepted the prayer. He preferred the letter of Al sinlas and Annas when praying. Al Fatihah he read was not too sedaying and sounded melodious. Because he's not an expert. For him, tajwidnya right, his lafadzs did not change the meaning of it was enough. His prayer was not too long either. Generally prayer. So that the prayer feels fast for Umi Laila who is already old but still strengthen themselves to pray standing. Eyang Lukis is not strong anymore to stand because his osteoporosis is quite disturbing his leg bones.

That night Gede actually survived a little because his nerves were not too big. Because the girl of his heart is not praying like him.

In the front room. Bram also asked two men he saw who might be confused to convey how to want to say goodbye. The two men were waiting for who would come home first.

"So this is Hilman's son, son Gede. I thank you for your gentlemanly arrival, my honor and pride because you liked my son without dropping his marwah as a girl." Bram is stopped because the housekeeper came with Ayra.

Then he shifted a little asking his wife to stay there to accompany him.

"However, there's no way I'm accepting you two for my daughter. And whatever the outcome might be, it's all in Qiya's heart. We just approve. And may our daughter's choice also be our blessing." Bram said to two men who looked tense from earlier.

"So come on, you'll be here in 5 days. Let me re-create the schedule. But before that can I ask you something like Hilman and Nak Gede?" ask Bram.

"Please sir" said the two men simultaneously.

"What is your capital to love and make my child happy? And what do you like about my daughter?" Ask Bram. This was actually the end of the selection he gave for the two people.

Hilman confirmed his sitting position.

"I apologize before if yesterday's incident might hurt Mr. Bram and Bu Ayra as Qiya's parents. I actually do not know if Papa to make a decision without talking to me first. Second, I liked Qiya for a long time. For me Qiya is the perfect woman in the present era. He has all of the criteria of women who are chosen to be wives of "Hilman said which also conveys the proposition and some opinions of scholars about the criteria for choosing a wife.

"Yes, she was chosen for her beauty, for her wealth, for her faith." Bram responded to what became Hilman's excuse.

He looked mangosteen and allowed to taste the snacks in front of them. Bram turned to Gede.

"If it's Nak Gede?" Bram asked as he turned towards Gede.
