LOVE IS NOT LIKE
Chapter 2's

The clock was pointed at 8 am when he arrived at the airport parking lot. "2 hours away muttered Ali while getting out of the car and took his suitcase rather hastily2. He looks good in his pilot uniform. His thick eyebrows with his plump eyelashes make him look more handsome. Not infrequently there are some passengers who invite him to take selfies. Not even infrequently also passengers mother who crumple pinched his cheeks. He is actually uncomfortable, but wants to be yelled at by mom2. He just shook his head thinking about it.

It looks like Andra is sitting in one of the cafeterias while playing his phone with a hot cup of coffee in front of him.

"after again want to flight why even relax? ,gue aja keburu2 because late wake up. "inner ali while walking to meet him.

"why still relax? Another flight yet? "asked ali a little annoyed

"eh cap.. Sorry cap, so have not been able to make coffee, fear sleepy" replied Andra while showing the grin of his horse.

"corpio.. We also have to check the plane first" ali timpal said as he walked away. Andra followed him. They headed to the management office first to carry out the breafing.

When I was breafing. Ali and Andra walked into the plane. The cabin of the plane is still empty. It only looks like the cabin crew is busy preparing everything before taking off.

"Cap morning? "what a stewardess with her symmetrical smile. Ali replied with a smile.

"i'm not called Ca? "asked Andra in a seductive tone.

"well me nyapa loose.. "Jawab Ica while passing by flicked her lips towards Andra.

"you know, tar love"ledek Ali while walking towards the cockpit. Andra just laughed while ica grumbled in annoyance.

Andra saw something different from the look on Ali's face. He was more silent. Usually he will ask her to tell a story to just get bored. Andra knows exactly how the attitude and character of this sahabtnya, understand they have been friendly since Junior High. But the difference is Andra joked more about work, while Ali did not. Therefore, Ali first got the title of captain. But that doesn't make them jealous of each other.

"Li.. Loe why, tangled kyak shirt has not been rubbed? "asked andra while walking.

"Gpp kok, again bete aja" replied ali briefly.

"inget li, loe's work brought many people's lives. Do not let you focus just because the mood loe again angry. Yes, I don't want to die young. I'm not married yet" Andra said accompanied by laughter that filled the cockpit. While Ali only grinned at the attitude of his best friend.

"Gue wants to be teased Ndra ama temen my father, it's my father's mandate before he died" said ali arrived2 with a lazy tone.

a few seconds of silence. But soon afterwards andra's laughter shook the cockpit. While Ali immediately snorted annoyed to hear him laugh.

"Not giving that advice, what. Even laugh. Basic"grutu ali

"sorry hll.. I immediately thought I would marry you if I were married. Loe aja deket ama cwek ngk ever. "say Andra while laughing. Ali rolled her eyes lazily hearing Andra's joke.

"this li, I'm serious. Try to think2 first. It seems loe Pdkt first is the candidate loe. Besides this will be the mandate of his father loe first, and I think your father also has thought mateng2.ngk maybe you father play make a decision, let alone this for his son,.!" andra said, patting Ali on the shoulder.

"But why should I try, while my brother. He married the same person he chose" said ali rather annoyed.

"do you know why? " said Andra while looking at ali's eyes seriously. Alipun.

"that's because of your destiny" answered Andra with a big laugh. Ali only showed his flat face while menonyor jidat Andra.

"Udah ah, just take off this" said ali who was still a bit upset because Andra was unceasingly teasing him.

After completing all the checks and already got information from the ATC (Air traffic control) the plane took off perfectly. The atmosphere was quiet again inside the cockpit.

Ali took a deep breath. He began to focus his mind on the work that has this great responsibility. He should be able to be professional. Let this matchmaking business be thought of later . Now the focus is on the plane.

"Well pah, ily pamit yes, doain may the assignment of ily in Bali smoothly" said prilly while hugging his parents.

While with her brother, she had already said goodbye because today Prilla had to leave in the morning because there was business at the new school where she taught. He could not take her to the airport.

"definitely dear, lati2 yes, do not forget to eat, continue to pray" said his father with a smile.

"get ready, boss" prilly joked while saluting the papa. Papa and his mother just smiled amusedly at the behavior of his daughter.

Today he was assigned to Bali for a month. This was his first assignment out of town. Actually he did not want to take this job because he wanted to be close to his brother who had just returned home after a year did not meet. But what can be done. His work is related to humanity. Jdi he tried to accept. It's only been a month anyway.

It was seen that several passengers were preparing for their seats, he immediately looked for his seat. "Ah that's it, 28E.detail the window again"in prilly . He went straight to his chair , threw his ass in the toilet seat and pulled out the earphones he brought.Slank's song titled I can't be his friend to enjoy this not-so-long journey.

After the pesawar takes off, he enjoys the view of the blue clouds. It feels calming, her mind. Arrived2 he remembered the matchmaking back. He felt that he was not completely sincere if his beloved brother was going to get married. Naturally, because he was very close to his twin, he was afraid that his brother's attention to him would be divided if his brother was married.

"about 2 my sister-to-be gimna yes the guy? Not bad, huh? "ask prilly in the heart. Her little heart really worries about her brother, she is afraid that her brother will get an arrogant husband and likes to play hands.

"Amit-amit o Allah" said Prilly with a shudder of horror. He really couldn't imagine that. Because he did not want to think too far, he decided to close his eyes, until he fell asleep carried away in his dream.

******

This is the first day of teaching after his return from Kalimantan. Actually many offers from various schools both smp and smk. But he prefers to teach in kindergarten. The reason is because he likes anak2. For him the present generation must be formed from the basics first. And to form a good character must start early.

She wears a long black skirt suit with a blue batik shirt.she looks gracefully wrapped in a blue hijab decorated with reading glasses that frame her hazel eyes.

Looks like some of the students have arrived. Some play at the park. He smiles at the boy sometimes.

He immediately looked for a teacher's room. He has not submitted any application documents.

When he arrived at the teacher's room, the atmosphere was already a bit crowded. It looks awkward because it's new.

"bu Prilla huh? "suddenly2 there was a voice of a woman reprimanding him with a smile.

"iya ma'am" replied ila smbil as she returned her smile and shook hands.

After the business was completed he was assigned to teach in the Ceria class. This kind of school has 3 classes.

The atmosphere in the classroom is a bit boisterous with the voice of anak2. He entered without hesitation while saying Bismillah.

"good morning everyone, asslamuaaikum wr wr. "why do you smile. And reciprocated by anak2 didiknya.

"well, first2 mother want to introduce first yes, the name of the mother annisa aprilya, commonly called prilla, but here you can call the mother with the mother ila. I'm here to replace Imel's "say prilla with a friendly smile.

Suddenly, a student asked

"mommy imel why mom? "ask plain girl with chirped hair 2 on the right and side.

With a gentle smile he replied "yes, because mommy wants to have a baby dede" answered prilla.

After that he began to pass one by one his students while getting acquainted. Anak2 makes him bhagia. In essence he feels comfortable when close to anak2.

At 10 he finished teaching. Throughout the hallway of his school he was busy playing a message with his sister.

Then he decided to call.

"asslamualaikum deck, nyampe what time?"

"waalaikumussalam kak, this is new. This is also again the airport"

"yes already heart2 yes as long as far away from us. The prayers are guarded, the eating is also"

"iya brother. I was big time. Ngk dyingetin also already know" replied ily with an arrogant tone

"you yes, yes, my sister wants to go home first. Tar until my sister's phone home again" said ila while opening her car door.

"assalamualaikum"

Waalaikumussalam"

The streets don't look too crowded. Some people seem to be busy with their own business. Since the beginning of his return he was teaching earlier he was thinking about the matchmaking. He scrunched his forehead while thinking. The matchmaking made him not enjoy the day2 that he should have enjoyed. He should be taking off his longing with his family without the burden of a meaningful thought.

"o Allah, help me" said Prilla while still focusing on driving her car.

He thought about many things about the match. Is her husband nice, fierce?

She could not imagine what it would be like if her future husband would forbid her from teaching.

He also fears that if he gets married, it's time to joke and have a joke with Prilly. Because she knew, Prilly was very close to her even though they had different characters.But from that, the thing that Prilla feared the most was if later her husband would limit her to the things that Prilla liked. Whether it's teaching or something.

But on the one hand he also has to think about his parents. Promise is debt to be paid. If he refused it would hurt them greatly, let alone all this time they had never asked for anything from him, except when they asked him not to become a teacher. But that's what he refused. And with a heavy heart his parents must return to his decision. Even though as time goes by they can accept it.

Marriage is a sacred thing. This is not just about ijab qobul. It's about religious perfection. Marriage is not only about the union of two different families, but it is also the union of the 2 human hearts, the union of 2 different characters. Then how to unite if she does not love her future husband? .

Love can grow when she is together, but she is very afraid if she cannot love her husband. She was afraid she could not be a good wife. He is afraid of sinning.

Prilla inhaled a deep breath 2.trying to calm her mind back.

"Astaghfirullah haladzim" he said softly to eliminate his wolf.

After 30 minutes of driving he arrived in front of his house. He parked his car. And go straight into the house. He did not forget to say hello

Her mother was sitting in the living room reading a magazine. He approached her and kissed the back of her hand.

"alhamdulillah smoothly ma. Anak2nya also baik2 ngk bandel2" said ila while throwing her body to the sofa.

He removed his glasses. Laying dimeja.

" what does my husband look like? "ask ila.

"ciee's.. The Kepo? "momish fashion

"iii.. Seriously ma? "lila whine with manyun lips.

"that's for sure Mamak hasn't met in person. But said your papah, he is good" he replied while stroking the head of ila.

"what "profession? "continue the indigo

"He's a pilot"

"huh.. Ma pilots? Mean bkal rarely at home dong? " Prilla was a little surprised.

"yes that's how. But gpp kan.lagian usually the pilot was handsome to know" said mamahnya with a seductive tone.

"au ah's.. Ila wants to go to the room first"reply as Ia passed by leaving her mother.

*****

After the shower, I decided to go for facetime with her sister.

"Hello, assalamualaikum? "sapa ila's.

"waalaikumussalam beloved brother.The tangled face is very sis, rub first there? "ledek Prilly seeing the lazy face of her brother.

"what the hell?"answer the lazy.

"happy, sister, will be married again"

Prilly answered with a laugh.

Prilly's laughter made her even more lazy.

"dad..kak don't want to talk seriously"

"yes, ily was horrified? "

"sister is actually not ready for marriage, brother is afraid brother can not love husband sister, brother is afraid not bebecus bewives. Brother is also not ready fruit far the same you are the same mommy papa". Said Ila with eyes starting to glaze over. He poured all his heart out on his sister

. Across the phone, Prillly also listened with a sad heart. Marriage can make her brother this weak. In fact, you could say his kakanya is not a typical cwek that is easy to strip off.

"sister. "say ily lmbut.

"some things in this world are met with unwanted things. What we think is good is not necessarily good in the eyes of God, and vice versa. But everything that is good in the eyes of God is best for us. Ily know, you must understand more about it. Ily sure sister can be a good wife for the husband of the sister later.whatever the decision of the brother later ily will support kok. Ily was sure, brother ngk would be wrong in this matter " . Prilly said softly. As much as possible he calmed his brother's heart.

Prilla fell silent. He seemed to be digesting his sister's words. It justifies his speech. Maybe this is his path of destiny. He also started to be a little more calm.

"yes, brother istirht first. Ily was also just to take a break as well" said Prilly so as not to make her brother continue to think about this.

"iy deck.. Assalmuaaikum"

"walaikumisslam"

Tutt.. Phone terminated.

*****

2 Days later.

The sound of the alarm clock feels very disturbing. He immediately turned it off. The clock shows at 5 a.m. Rushing he prepared to perform the dawn prayer. His head still feels heavy.karna he can only fall asleep at 3 am.

Finish the prayer and shower go to the kitchen. It looks like his mama is struggling with a skillet and kawan2nya. Prepare breakfast.entahlah, from the past mamah never want to use the services of art. He prefers to do it himself. He said it was the wife's responsibility to take care of the household. Arrived2 his mind went straight towards the matchmaking. What if she couldn't share her time and couldn't take care of the household by herself. Ah, you will be disappointed, in Prilla, sipping a glass of warm water.

"morning darling? "

"morning is ma?"answer Prilla softly

"do you want2 school?

"uh ma'am.. Mama mostly think what the hell to forget the day? "asked Prilla with a chuckle

"astaghfirulag.. Forgot son. Maybe the age factor, so you have to hurry2 ngasi mama grandson. My mom is old"

Jelbb.. Prilla immediately choked to hear the words of her mother.

"just not married, already want a grandchild" answered Prilla lazily.

"will pause again" replied his mamah meltedek.

"have you got an answer? Mama hope it doesn't bother you."

"insyaallah already ma" answered Prilla while arranging breakfast dishes.

*****

Ali just got back from his flight. He went straight to the car park. It looks like Andra is waiting for him while sipping hot coffee by leaning on the car door.

"very long to the toilet? "asked andra ketus.

"sorry, it's gone. "answered ali with a knotty smile.

The streets are still running. Not much has passed.See there are some people who exercise in the morning. And he remembered it on Sunday. Maybe the matchmaking plan has made him so senile temporarily, inwardly.

"n't come by the apartment? "asked andra

"no, I want to go straight home, there's a little business." Briefly Ali

"his matchmaking? "city Andra .

"what the hell you know," replied ali rather annoyed.

The clock was set at 6am when he got home. He immediately entered after parking his car garaged. She seems busy cooking in the kitchen. The smell of cooking made him turn towards the kitchen. Assalamualaikum bun,

Waalaikumussalam, uh the mother's son has come home.say the mother resi while hugging her one2-year-old son.

"it's clean 2 it's breakfast" the whole bunch.

Ali agreed as he walked to the 2nd floor to his room.

After the shower, he prepared for breakfast. Knee-length jeans combined with a black t-shirt make it look less like a pilot, more like a kid who just graduated high school.

Finished breakfast ali help mom take care of it. Helps to wash dishes. Funny indeed, but for him it is ordinary and does not need prestige.

"Li.. Sit here"pointing the bench next to him. "have you determined the answer? You promised today you'd answer" said the mother while patting Ali gently on the shoulder

O Allah, may Ali's decision be right, inward ali.

"Bismillah.. Ali accept bun. Ali agreed" replied ali with a smile although somewhat forced.

The Bundnya immediately hugged him. "yes we're there tomorrow" said the sage mother who made Ali shocked. That quick? Ali murmured in his heart.

*****

The atmosphere in the family room was quiet. Prilla knew her papa would ask that soon.

"what's your decision, son? "ask papa directly to the heart of the conversation,"papa hope you can grant papa's request this time"

"ila accept pa" answered Prila with a bow.

His father smiled and his mother hugged him.

"does your sister know? "asked mama.

"already ma, last night. And he supports it" replied Prilla quietly while fixing the location of the glasses to relieve a little of her anxiety.

Prilla should now be able to accept all of this. This might be his path. He just hopes that his decision is right.
