The Charm of The Twins

The Charm of The Twins
79. Gede and Hilman In The Eyes of the Bram Family


Still with his head lowered, doctor Gede tried to catch his breath. For him talking to the parents of the woman he likes is more difficult than expressing a feeling in the heart to the idol. If at that time his chest was so tight that it was difficult for air to enter his lung cavity. And now it's happening again and more than that.


"I would like to thank Mr. Bram for welcoming me and Mas Hilman today. Why I like and what I like about my daughter...Hhhh..." Not an easy thing for a doctor who usually works with the brain and hands as well as his knowledge when it comes to talking let alone using the heart.


"I may not have the office and the property of a father. If I want to make Qiya happy with her treasures and position maybe I can't afford it. It was precisely he got from a small father who was quite successful because he had two things." Gede stopped a little because he heard laughter from his father.


"I only have love that I will try to be loyal only to Qiya if we get married. And it still needs the guidance of my father and parents if you are a match. Second, I may not be able to be like a father who has a lot of wealth but God willing, I will try with my own sweat to provide a halal living for my wife and children. Third, I might compare to Qiya, I am not as smart as your daughter. But I hope that if one day have children, a wife who is smart and good morals like the father's daughter can give birth to generations that can make the Prophet happy in the last day." After saying the last sentence, Gede seemed to lower his head.


He is not an alumnus of any pesantren cottage. But armed with his closeness with a cleric, it can even be said he loves the cleric. Often he heard if the cleric or teacher he referred always said if later the Prophet would be proud of the large number of his people. But not by his numbers alone but also about the quality of his people.


He had a dream that was simple enough for him. He can build a household by being able to both get closer to God. Because many people who just after marriage even more distant from God because busy affairs of the world.


He also received advice from his teacher, Gus Imam, where is the man if for a woman who understands religion just when she carries out her duties as a husband and seeks sustenance from the halal road and brings home halal results for her family. That is a real romantic.


Ayra who heard Gede's answer felt that her daughter had not wrongly sowed half her heart to Gede. Hilman is a scientist. But from the way of thinking, acting and behaving, Gede more make Ayra as a woman, as a mother who gave birth to Qiya, more ridho the child with Gede.


Even the souvenirs brought by Hilman and Qiya became Ayra's point of assessment. Hilman brought him a box of chocolates which was quite expensive because of his brand. While Gede, he brought honey, fruits and even a ginseng is also in the Paper bag that Gede brought. For Ayra Cinta Gede on Qiya does not make him forget that there is a family of the girl who must also be considered, must be maintained good relations. Even inside that there was no Qiya's favorite food.


While Hilman's box of expensive chocolate signifies he is only focused on his daughter. Because only Qiya likes chocolate.


Bram also felt happy for the answer as it is and not made-up though quite poetic for Bram who is a fellow man. But he could see the sincerity of the doctor. Two equally handsome men, equally intelligent, are just the attitudes that set them apart. When the two men say goodbye. Bram meets both of the older people in their lives.


"Bram Piye?" Umi Laila asked when she saw Bram and Ayra entering the living room. There all members of his family have gathered, including a husband and wife who live in one room but there is still no husband and wife activities in that room.


"Before Bram answers, Bram Rasa. Umi was more able to judge the two men. From the Maghrib and Isya prayer." Said Bram who had been sitting next to Eyang Lukis and Qiya.


"Before Umi gave a comment, Qiya used to be what her criteria were. So don't be as if we're imposing our will on him." Umi Laila


Qiya just looked down. He did not have the courage to answer Umi Laila's request.


"Let's answer." Ammar said while raising both his eyes.


"Obviously I have to be comfortable, he has to be the same as me in dealing with many things in life. Mature, wise maybe Mbah." Said Qiya timidly.


Umi Laila also enjoyed the grapes brought by Gede earlier.


"These are good guys, Bawak an Gede huh Ra?" Ask Umi Laila.


"Umi's Scene." Answer Ayra.


"Well when viewed from his Bawak. He seems wise. If you are your companion. He's not just focused on your crew Nduk. But also family." Umi Laila.


"Suit Mbah. I'd rather Buy Gede to be a partner in this family." Comment Ammar who also enjoyed the fruit of the longan brought Gede.


"Sweet.... I think it's Qiy...." Tempted Ammar after enjoying the fruit.


They were in the room laughing.


"That sweet or Arumi?" Said Eyang Lukis who was also teasing.


"Yes don't know yet Yang, it's not halal wong to taste." Ammar ceplas ceplos.


Bram looked at Ibrahim.


He is a very irritable man to talk to. I will speak sometimes if asked.


"I think there should be a sense of like. Want as perfect as any person if there is no liking it will be difficult to live together. Because 24 hours even a lifetime will be together. It's gonna be hard." Abraham said with logic.


Ammar widened his eyes. He did not expect his sister's answer could change away from Ibrahim's answer when he had discussed about marriage. They argued for hours for the wedding chapter. In the past his sister was desperate for him who was important that the wife wanted to pray and close the aurat. When Ammar is also now trying one thought with his sister. The younger brother was precisely the same as Qiya's principle. Where there must be a sense of like and comfort first later when married can grow a sense of love.


"Wow you got two big buy votes." Ammar smiled at Qiya.


"If Mama?" Bram asked Ayra. The man will call his wife with the call of Mama when with his children. If only the two then the friendly call of the Pradipta family to Ayra that will come out of the lips of a handsome man but has begun to go into the twilight.


"Mama over to Qiya. If he chooses between the two of them. Mama meridhoi and will pray for their happiness." Ayra. He did not want to comment. He already knew the answer was the same as his daughter's heart's wish.


"Women if it's up then it must be yes. 3 Bli votes. " Said Ammar still staring at his sister while teasing.


"Apaan sih Kak's. I dared not speak last night. Don't talk, just look at your brother who doesn't dare." Qiya said teasingly.


"If the Princess?" Bram asked with a smile to the side. Where was Eyang Lukis sitting by his side.


"Mama prefers doctor Gede. In fact, the mother who was sitting in a wheelchair just now felt tired enough to sit at this age. Uh Hilman just read his short letter panjaaaaanggg.... Where the prayer was too long." Speak Eyang Lukis who is accustomed to praying by sitting in a wheelchair. He was indeed quite exhausted because the new from Besannya were none other than Liona's parents for one year the death of Liona's parents. And he immediately joined Ammar and now he also wants to see the man who proposed to Qiya.


Suddenly the comments of Eyang Lukis who as it is makes the whole room smile. They agree with Eyang Lukis. Hilman either because he is accustomed to reading long enough when praying or wants to show his knowledge and eloquence in reading the verses of the Qur'an make pilgrims who may be old or who have not been able to enjoy worship a necessity it feels very heavy because the length of one rakaat in passing also pray together long enough to pass.


Without all the family members knew Bram had deliberately invited the two young men at the time of prayer magrib and Isya. Because I want to see what those two guys are like. Bram actually his choice fell on Gede.


Although the reading is not Semerdu Hilman, but what is read is true and appropriate is also wise. Because choosing short verses in the first and second rakaat while being a priest in a public place makes the elderly like Umi Laila and Mama can make worship actually not feel heavy. Because not all worshipers who can enjoy prayer in a long time. He got it from his dead father-in-law. At that time Bram asked why the father-in-law would be very long if the prayer pas not congregate. Because Bram had seen how his father-in-law's night prayers could be one raka'at long enough standing. There were only two acts of worship that he had done.


"Then if papa is alone?" Tanya Ayra who also did not call 'Mas' to her husband while with the children.


"It seems Qiya and Mas are the same. Both fell in love with Doctor Gede. The principles of the two men were different. Papa prefers Gede. He saw a man who learned from small things and Istikomah. Praying after the Adhan. Truly one of the Sunnah that people now sometimes consider trivial when the same. Sunnah. If Hilman is more focused Sunnah fasting may be another Sunnah prayer. So the wisdom of Gede earlier, the way to reach the heart of your father and family. Make papa in 'Yes'." said Bram while making the sign 'Ok' through the finger of his right hand.


Everyone chuckles at the number one man in their family. Ibrahim just smiled seeing Bram's warmth on his son.


"What a warm and authoritative figure. Why can't I interact like Papa if I'm his son." Abraham said in his heart.


Bram opens his phone. He sent a message to his daughter sitting in front of him.


[Don't open it now if you don't want to be teased by Ammar. Secret. Special for Papa's daughter.]


Order Bram directly contang two colors blue. Qiya glanced at her Papa. He held back his thumb which would open the audio message that Bram sent to his phone. While Ayra nudged Bram's arm because she saw the husband sending a message to his daughter who was nearby.


Bram is approaching Ayra.


"The expression of your future daughter-in-law's heart to your daughter." Bram Bram.


He recorded the words and sentences that Gede said earlier when asked Bram.


Ayra smiled at her daughter.


"Gede God good man Qiy. May you also be the best for Gede." Inner Ayra who was feeling happy. His three hearts have chosen the moorings of his heart. Stay again how they struggle to wade through their household noses.
