THERE'S ALWAYS A LEANING PLACE
Be married?

“Eat him, do not get too late in grief! It's sad, but don't ignore everything. Ardi is actually worried about you, but with the condition of om and aunty right now his presence is more needed there. He hopes you can confide in Tuti.”

Early down. He realized his mistake, had added weight to the burden of his only puppet brother.

Suddenly I looked confused. He stared at the device in his hand and took turns.

“Kak ...” says Early doubt.

Via looked at Dini questioningly. He did not know what his cousin meant.

“What's up, Din? How do you seem to be confused?”

“I—ini Doni vicall's. I don't want Kak Doni to see my face,” said Dini lirih.

Via smile. He understands the dilemma. Doni must have seen that Dini was online until he called her. And, it seemed that the guy did not accept rejection. From earlier the device vibrated non-stop.

“You wash your face first, there! Let Brother pick up his phone,” said Via.

Dini nodded in agreement. He handed her a bright flat object and then darted into the bathroom.

“Assalamualaikum,” says Via.

”Waalaikumsalam. What's wrong with you? From yesterday you weren't online, my chatt was ignored.” Doni seemed impatient to pull out his tinker until he did not notice who picked up the phone.

“It's me, Don, Via. Here again in the bathroom.  I borrowed his HP to contact Ardi.” Via is a little lying.

“Oh, are you in Medan? Since when?  I thought it was in Jember. Dini also said she wanted to go to Jember because Mas Azka married. How are you even in Medan?” doni said bertilubi-tubi.

“Iya, yesterday I was in Jember because Mas Azka got married. At the moment we flew to Medan because Om and Aunt had an accident,” replied Via calmly.

“What did you say? Om and Aunt in an accident? You mean papa and mama Dini?”  Doni clarifies.

“Yes, they had an accident on the way to the airport going to Jember. Dini and Ardi are okay because they are in different cars,” explains Via.

“La—lalu condition om and aunt how? How did you not tell me?” sorry Doni.

“Alhamdulillah yesterday afternoon has been operated on and this morning has started to improve. Staying restored. About Dini did not tell you, it was because he was in shock.  Until this morning before I came, he was so scared. While Ardi focused on om and aunt. This I just came from the hospital to tell Dini about the condition of om and aunt,” said Via.

“Now Early how?” Doni sounded worried.

“Alhamdulillah is calm. He wants me to take him to the hospital. Well, this kid just got out of the bathroom. Din, this is your future husband's phone,” exclaimed Via as if Dini did not know that Doni called.

Dini approached Via and received his device.

“I stay first, yes! Do not cry in front of the husband. Later Doni directly fly to Medan,” joked Via.

Dini chuckles. He was also busy chatting with Doni as soon as Via out of the room.

An hour later, Dini left the room to meet Via and Bu Aisyah. He's neat and fresh.

“It's ready. Din?” ask Via.

“Already, Brother. Come on, we're leaving now!” take Dini impatiently.

“Come! It seems impatient. From yesterday even menggumpet,” ledek Via.

Smiling with shame. In his heart he regretted his stupidity.

They're back in the hospital. He seemed impatient to meet his parents.

“Kak, really papa mama is better? Brother didn't lie here, did he?” ask Dini.

“Abviously Big Brother looks a lie?” ask Via back.

“O yes, Din, what did Doni say? She wants to come here?”

“It was yes. But I forbid it. Tomorrow he starts college.”

Via nodding. He looked at his cousin's sister.

“Sorry, Din. Don't you want to get married soon?” ask Via carefully.

“Of course want. But we are still in college. We don't want our lecture to be hampered because of the hassle of taking care of the household.”

“Kan can stay in college smoothly even though he is married. No problem either, sir. Ni Dek Azka. He has not finished his master. While Meli, his wife also has not been run S-1. They don't want to be stuck in a forbidden relationship.”

Early jerk. He looked at Via and looked at him.

“”We will not collect kebo, not fornicate, “ sahut Early ketus.

Via realized the error of his words. He rubbed his arm gently.

“Sorry, I don't mean that. You see, Din, whose name is fiancee is not yet legally religious and state. As long as you're engaged, you'll miss each other, imagine each other. When you meet, you shed your longs. Maybe with a hug, a walk together hand in hand, and so on,” said Via softly.

“That's normal. There are even more couples than that. Kissing with girlfriend is also common,” protest Early.

“Custom, but that does not mean that religion is justified. Such a relationship was the same as approaching zina, my sister. I just reminded you, anyway. Sorry, yes.”

“Tante apologise in advance. Aunt just wanted to say that what your sister said was right, son. Aunty doesn't defend him because he's Aunt's son. But what is clear is that marriage is much more beautiful than fiancee or courtship. Believe me, dating after marriage is more enjoyable because there are no worries beyond the limit,” added Bu Aisyah.

Early silent. He tried to digest the words of Via and Bu Aisyah.

It was not as if their journey had arrived. Bu Aisyah told Via to accompany Dini. While the mother took care of Zayn in the hospital garden.

“What papa can talk to?” ask Dini.

“Not just chat. Serious talking can also. What do you want to talk about? Throw off your relationship with Doni?” ask Via while glancing at his spup sister.

“Ih, Sister Via! Dini is worried papa why-why,” said Dini while pursing her lips.

Via chuckled at the Early reaction. Before reaching the treatment room of Mr. Candra, Via's eyes pounded on the figure of a very familiar guy. He was chatting as it seemed. Flat box objects are held in front of the face. His lips were repeatedly pulled into a smile and laughter.

“See there! He looks happy, doesn't he?” whispered Via while pointing at the guy who was making a video call.

“Isn't that Azka's sister? What's he doing?” early Mummings. He stopped his steps. He noticed the guy with a probing look.

“Surely being vicall Meli. Understand, newlyweds. He's dating again. Happy, right? I don't know when they met, their missed savings must have piled up. Well, to let go of longing, meteka want to do just that, whatever. There will be no problem. Want at home, at the hotel, anyway free.”

“Ih, Sister Via. How to get to hotel all.”

“Lo, it could be.  May want special privacy,” said Via.

Early silent. His brain turned around imagining Via's speech.

“Well, so baper right? Go, move! Om and aunt must have been waiting,” take Via while pulling Via hand.

Follow the steps of Via. His mind was still filled with Via's advice. Marrying.
