TOAST
* Slice 152, Different Love


As soon as he arrived at the shophouse, Dafi brought Qeena's bag. They went upstairs. Dafi helped Mak Nuha up the stairs. Qeena was still downstairs, heading to the bathroom on the lower floor, not long after that Dafi had come back down.


Dafi mangajak Qeena chat first.


"It was Mas .. Go home first, it was night" said Qeena.


"Ga ... Mas tuh the type that must be run directly if there is nothing" replied Dafi insistent.


"Mas get out .. want to be locked" said Qeena.


Dafi instead pulled out Qeena's hand, planning to be invited to a place where they could chat more freely.


Damar came and saw Qeena being pulled by Dafi's hand.


"Mas ... Mas ... what the hell is this" Damar said as he removed Dafi's hand from Qeena.


"Don't interfere" said Dafi.


"I have the right to interfere, Qeena is my future wife" Damar said.


"Wife candidate? if you know yes ... Qeena is my wife" Dafi said firmly.


"Huh????? don't be kidding me" said Damar ga believe.


"Ask the same Qeena .. I'm really her husband" challenge Dafi.


Damar turned his gaze to Qeena. Qeena was silent.


"Qeena .. is it true that Mas Dafi said?" ask Damar.


Qeena nodded slowly.


"Couldn't you? you .. ahhh" asked Damar in disappointment as he approached Qeena.


"Eh .. don't make a fuss here yes .. mending you follow my car, later we talk together let me run around the problem" invited Dafi who felt bad already many have noticed them.


Bakulan Bunda employees who live in a new shop just came. Qeena put her mother in them.


"I brought the key, so the key was revoked" Qeena said.


Dafi's car drove to a cafe that was open twenty-four hours. Damar followed from behind.


"Mas ... why do you have to do this anyway" opened Qeena while in the car.


"Why?" ask Dafi.


"You've said it if Qeena who wants to talk directly to Sister Damar" said Qeena annoyed.


"When do you want to cover this up?" ask Dafi.


"Sampe is ready" said Qeena.


"Can't speak politely to your husband" Dafi advised.


Qeena silently faced the road.


"Are you really serious about Damar?" ask Dafi.


"How important is the question to be answered?" Qeena.


"Whatever" replied Dafi lazily speaking again.


Arriving at a cafe that was not far from the shophouse, the three of them talked.


Dafi told me all the things that happened that night. Damar and Qeena listened in silence.


"This is not possible if Qeena can do rich that, but you don't know if Mas Dafi who knows all this, his sister is flirtatious .. let alone his brother right?" Damar.


"Eh... the new son just said no filtered yes" Dafi scorned with a cynical smile that makes people feel harassed.


"Wouldn't Qeena's intention be condescending, if Mas why don't you go straight to the Tantenya house? wasn't the body laid there before?" Damar.


"That's why if anyone else tells a true story. It was already said that my plane had a lot of delay until Jakarta had passed the Maghrib, it was recommended to go home, if I forced it to Kelapa Gading as well as tahlilan studies already sparse. So the same family is advised to go home directly, tomorrow morning new to Grandma's grave" said Dafi.


"Ga need a long story, the point is I want to take responsibility even though until now I do not think about why it could happen. Not just maintaining the family's self-esteem, but also Qeena's self-esteem. I hope you understand and stay away from Qeena. I will legalize our marriage" Dafi said.


"Ga can do dong" insisted Damar.


"Qeena .. take off the ring" Dafi ordered.


Qeena was also surprised why Dafi knew that the ring around his finger was from Damar.


"Do you want me to leave or do you want to leave alone?" ask Dafi firmly.


Qeena removed the ring and handed it to Dafi. Dafi thrust the ring before Damar.


"Mas can not be one-sided dong" said Damar.


"There's nothing we need to talk about anymore, it's all clear, right?" ask Dafi.


"Qeena .. Brother can accept you as you are, whatever your condition, brother no problem" insisted Damar.


"I'm telling you this so you can understand why Qeena should break up your relationship, not to indulge her disgrace. I thought you were an adult, right? can dong cover this up. Don't think she's holy anymore, she's a good girl. I've made the decision to legalize our marriage, not just because of it, but I believe it's God's destiny that I and Qeena must live" dafi said while taking the money out of his wallet and then placed it on the table.


Dafi pulled out Qeena's hand to get out of the cafe and into the car. Damar can not catch up, it feels like his feet have not been able to stand up to hear the reality he just heard.


Breaking Qeena's cry in the car, Dafi running the car, he decided to muter first. Hoping that Qeena's cry could be finished before she reached the shophouse.


For nearly ten minutes Dafi heard only Qeena's cries.


Dafi took the mineral water that he had ordered at the cafe but had not been drunk. Proceeded towards Qeena. Qeena.


"Well crying?" ask Dafi.


"Where are you going?" said the new Qeena ngeh if the direction is not to the shophouse.


"Just get out" replied Dafi.


"Mas don't macem, just take Qeena anywhere" said Qeena.


"Aren't we married? maybe because there is no ring then forget if already married" ledek Dafi.


Dafi rubbed Qeena's head slowly. After that hold Qeena's wrist (the car matic so no need standby hand on the gear). Grasped it tightly with Qeena's fingers.


"Now we have a clear relationship. How can this relationship be called a brother-sister relationship. Honestly ... I used to think you were just a sister, even preparing to be a sister-in-law for you. But when Mas said the marriage contract that night, everything changed ... You feel a sense of affection that is difficult to define. Sampe.. sorry .. give up Mas's relationship with Zahwa. I thought she was the woman who made Mas feel love completely, but it turns out the same you Mas feel different from the woman before. Not comparing or telling stories of the past . but Mas just want you to know if Mas has established the heart of choosing you. Kaya Mas ga ready if we have to step apart from each other. If he who is next to you is the reason we step away from each other, isn't that questionable? More and more days, the taste for you is more than just a brother to his sister. The taste of a grown man for a woman. Now the goal is just to want


you are happy, smiling, trying to treat you as a queen in the heart of Mas, embracing yourself completely not just your hands" Dafi said as she kissed Qeena's hands.


Qeena was rather shocked to hear the outspoken confession of Dafi. Qeena knew exactly that Dafi was not a romantic figure who easily spread words to women, he was a rigid figure and did a lot of things in silence.


"Mas ... Qeena thought the man was the source of the calamity. Men where they are the same. They are beings who are filled with**** and have no shame" Qeena opened.


Dafi still held onto Qeena's hand as she focused on driving the car but at a moderate pace.


"Qeena grew up from a family of ga intact. Just know your mom. Get used to the stories of women who are hurt by men. Mak Leha's ... Mak Nuha .even throughout the course of life many women who fared the same even worse than them. Qeena never opened her heart to Mas Dawn. There is a fear of starting a relationship. When I met Aa' Zay .. began many of Qeena's views that changed, although in the end the same, the man always forced us women. Especially if it is already tied to marriage, all the words of the husband can not be denied. Qeena was only worried about fate like the women around Qeena... But Kak Damar offered something different, with patience he would wait and maksa" continued Qeena with his heavy breathing.


Dafi remained silent, giving room so that Qeena would feel comfortable for her to take out all her junk all this time.


"Added the bullyan of those who consider us contemptible. As a child, some say they have no father, poor and even painful is to accept the reality as an out-of-wedlock child ... It hurts Mas .. indeed we can not make everyone like us. Qeena has tried to accept the insult that comes, the heartache of course, but has promised the same yourself if you do not want to be a burden that hinders to develop" continued Qeena.


Dafi pulled over his car, took some tissue, wiped away the tears that were still flowing on his cheek Qeena gently. Release the hand from Qeena's hand. Then continue the journey.


"You may be insulted, may be hurt .. but make it a trigger for your spirit. To prove to those who have underestimated you, that you are strong and will be more successful than them. And Mas is ready to give spirit .. and see you on top" Dafi encouraged.


"Ga is that easy Mas" replied Qeena.


"There is something easy in this world. Heartache when bullied is sure, but please let the heart plong. Those who insult us are not always better than us. They can be jealous of what we have" Dafi said.


Qeena again drank the mineral water in the bottle, she tried to digest Dafi's words. All this time he only confided in his mother, never got the widest view that Dafi expressed.


"You must remain positive in the face of insults, simple aja . consider them jealous of what you have. Insults do not mean you are lacking and do not deserve to be admired. It could be because you are different and special so they envy you.


At least with them insulting you, meaning they also pay attention to you. Even salut the same patience and fortitude that you live so far, not all can stand tall in your rich problems. Mas will always be faithful to listen, advise and accompany you. You can tell all the complaints that are felt, no need to be covered up. For your views on men, you can't stand up for your fellow men. Because surely you would say fellow men must cover each other up. Indeed, there must be a man who is hurtful, now you see yourself .. You prove yourself, Mas will try to be a different man from other men you know" said Dafi.


Qeena looked at Dafi's stern face from the side. In the dim light of the street, Dafi looked different from the Dafi that Qeena was familiar with.
