..."At least, if I can't make you fall in love, I can't make you angry and hate." - Elfira Marwah...
...****...
...Do not be sad, God is with us!...
Suddenly, Alvin's words reappear in Fira's mind. As if strengthening the heart that was holding a sharp thorn. Injured? Sure hurt. But Fira tried to hold him as much as possible.
Fira breathed out slowly. Who's afraid? I am strong, really! I'm ready! He encouraged himself in his heart.
"Sister Fira and Kak Fahmi live here together?" That innocent question came out of Halwa's mouth.
Fahmi rounded his eyes perfectly. The thing is, he hasn't prepared for any lies to that extent. Lying that Fira was his brother he did it accidentally.
Haha, rasain! Eat the question! Inner Fira while smiling satisfied.
Fahmi looks nervous and confused to answer what. "Eum, yeah. Lt's..."
"Hmm, Halwa knows it, sister. There must be a reason. And it seems Halwa does not need to know," said Halwa.
Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar...
The voice of the Maghrib Adhan echoed, a sign that it was time to break the fast. As they chant their hamdalah as a form of thanksgiving to the Giver of Enjoyment.
Halwa thrusts a jar filled with dates at Fahmi. "Nih, Brother. Dates first, from Halwa's umminya."
Fahmi took three dates. Halwa offers Fira and is accepted with pleasure.
Fira bit the sweet date while making this sweet, sweet date. Semanis open with them. Fita smiled wryly.
They finished their meal solemnly. Not a word was said during their meal. Only the twang of the spoon accompanied their togetherness.
In a small room, they perform Maghrib prayers after breaking their fast. Fahmi envies Fira and Halwa. The reading of the letter that Fahmi chanted so calm the heart of who heard it. Fira had been used to hearing Fahmi's readings and again his heart was touched also dissolved in the tranquilizing reading.
Beside him, Halwa had already shed tears while living the meaning of the verse Fahmi recited in the second skakaat.
"Kullu nafsin dzaiqatul death. Wa innama tuwaffauna ujurakum yaumal - qiyamati faman zuhziha ani - nari wa udkhilal - jannata faqad faaza. Wa mal hayatuddunya illa mata'ul-ghur."
Verse 185 of the letter of Ali-Imran means, "Every living person must feel death. And verily you will be paid in full in the day of resurrection. Whoever has been taken out of the fire of hell and allowed to enter heaven, he is very fortunate. And the life of this world is nothing but a trick." (QS. Ali Imran: 185)
At the end of the prayer, Fira kissed Fahmi's hand right in front of Halwa. Of course, it confused Halwa. What they do is like a husband and wife, when Halwa knows they are brothers.
Fira looks so solemn kissing Fahmi's hand. Upon awakening, Fahmi immediately took off his hand from Fira, leaving Fira shocked. Fahmi bumbling attention Halwa.
"Hehe, because I'm older, so this Fira likes to kiss my hands." Fahmi.
Halwa just nodded while rounding her mouth to form the letter "O".
"When, when, do you salute me?" Ask Fahmi to Halwa.
Fira shuddered amusedly at Fahmi's question which he thought was alay.
"We're not halal, brother. Even without real salim I really appreciate and respect Brother. Moreover, Brother has not helped me," replied Halwa. "That salute will apply if we're already kosher, Brother."
What does this conversation mean? Fira asked confusedly in her heart.
Fahmi. Seeing the figure of Halwa, he remembered his high school friends who often bullied him first. A veiled girl whom he always pulled the end of his long veil. No other, because Fahmi liked the girl. Although on the other hand, at that time Fahmi liked changing girlfriends.
Two years later after graduating from High School, Fahmi gets word that the veiled girl died, called the Creator. Hatinha was very sad when he heard the news. He himself did not understand, why could he like a veiled girl? She has a much more beautiful boyfriend.
Apparently, he thinks dating is just for the fun of spending time together. More than that, he can also get more attention, although the contents of the wallet often he relakan to treat or buy something for the girlfriend.
Really, how bad it is to be dating!
Fahmi was devastated when he learned of the girl's departure. And now, he found Halwa. The sweet girl who always made her heart feel calmer.

"You have to be strong, Fira. You have to be strong," muttered Fira cheering herself up who almost collapsed facing Fahmi and Halwa.
He is currently sitting on the bed. Try to take a deep breath and then exhale it slowly.
Do not be sad, God is with us!
Those words again strengthened his fragile heart.
In the next room, Fahmi notices Fira who is in his room. The door that separated their two rooms opened, so that each other could see.
It is very clear if Fira is strengthening herself. His movement stroking the chest made Fahmi fixated. Fahmi kept watching Fira. There is a sense of pity when he saw the wife he believed was hurt. But how else? Fahmi really doesn't love Fira.
Lately his mind has been in turmoil. Although it is always chaotic if you keep thinking about how to love Fira.
Finally, Fahmi enters Fira's room. He walked over to Fira who was closing his eyes while sitting slowly. He decided to sit next to Fira. Carefully he sat himself down.
Fira opened her eyes slowly then turned her head towards Fahmi. "Gapain come here?" Ask Fira.
"Wrongly yes, found your own wife?"
Fira was stunned to hear Fahmi's confession, that he was his wife. At least she is still considered a wife.
"You've been talking about pretending to be my cousin?"
That stupid question made Fira want to let out all her sadness.
"It's okay! I am immune. If it can make you feel good, please!" Fira's voice is strong-witted.
"Why are you being told to pretend to be my cousin?" Ask Fahmi.
"Here I am, my being by your side as a wife can't make you fall in love. If I don't help you and refuse to be your cousin, you can hate it and be angry. At least, if I can't make you fall in love, I can't make you mad and hate."
Fahmi this time was silent. Even though this is a big mistake? Fahmi Inner.
"What made you survive without my love all this time?"
"Alvin said yesterday, getting married is the longest service. I am the same time you worship and I cannot dispute you! All this time, I've been waiting for a lot of the same things as you!"
"Before I wanted to say, I didn't like you to call Alvin's name in front of me" Fahmi said.
Fira remained silent.
"Okay, what are you waiting for?" Fahmi.
"Wait for you to love me, wait for you to guide me in the way of God and teach me how to be someone who is good and loved by the Creator. "
This time Fahmi froze.
