LOVE IS NOT LIKE
Chapter 3

A few days later.

After both Ali and Prilla's parents agree.  Finally they decided to make a proposal and discuss the wedding plan.

 Ila is still ready in front of the mirror. The white-colored gambis with floral embroidery look so beautiful and fit in the frame.  He smeared thin makeup on his face, because he did not like to make excessive makeup.  For a moment he looked at himself in the mirror. "23 years, am I ready to get married?  Can I be God? "lyrih Prilla while looking at her own reflection is reflected.

His eyes felt glassy thinking about that. It is not easy to decide something. Especially when it comes to his life. Married is a continuous worship, he can easily make it to his heaven.

And after 3 days in a row he thought about it accompanied by Istikhoroh prayer. Somehow, his heart felt easier and more comfortable, even though his anxiety did not go away.

"maybe it's time for me to be devoted to her parents" prilla murmured.

The knock on the door of the room made him come back from his mind.

"unlocked, go in" he replied.

He looks like he came in wearing similar clothes. Her smile made her calmer.

"unfortunately Prilly can't come yes Ma, but it's an important day for ila" she said sadly with her tears.

Mama Ully put on her son's face. Wiped Prilla's tears with her thumb.

"that's it, gpp.  Ily also can't come, not because you don't want to, right? That's because his job is to serve the community, and he must be prepared for all the consequences" replied mama Ully gently.

Actually this engagement plan happened very quickly. After both parents told each other that their children agreed to the match, they immediately came to propose. It was only a day away.  Ila then told Prilly. Prilly actually really wanted to go home, but he could not.karna where he was assigned was indeed being right2 lack of medical personnel. In a day, sometimes Prilly has to move to 3 to 4 villages. But Prilly had promised that she would definitely come to her brother's wedding. And that was enough to calm him down.

Ali is getting ready in his room.  He looks so handsome in a black suit that looks so fit in his sturdy body.  He then looked at himself in the mirror, questioning to himself whether this decision was right or wrong. He still could not believe that he would soon be married. Live a new life with someone she doesn't know. But as much as possible he will try to love his wife. He looked at himself once more in the mirror and decided to pass out.

 It was seen that her mother, Kaia, Dani and Fikri were waiting for her.  Smiles hung in their lips as they saw Ali coming down the stairs.

"tumben handsome ni man" ledek Dani who is none other than his own brother-in-law.

"yes, I want to meet the future wife"timpal kaia with a soft tone.

"already.. Let's leave. Afraid of bad luck" said mother resi.

While Ali only snorted annoyed at their taunts.

"ayo champ, "take ali to Fikri and hold it, to cover up his gnarly taste. Because after all this is the first time he will meet someone who will later become his wife. Someone she doesn't know at all.

                                       ****

 Prilla came down the stairs gracefully, accompanied by her mother. Seen the family of the candidate was joking, chatting what it was. 

"oh so this is my future ghost" said mama resi as she approached Prilla and hugged her. Prilla smiled kindly and returned the embrace of her future father-in-law. After taking off her embrace, Prilla gave a nod with her sweet smile to the people present at the proposal.

Suddenly his eyes were fixed on the figure of a man and a small child who was playing the sofa which was located somewhat cornered. "isn't that the man and child he met in the airport? " the murmur of Prilla in the heart.

"Ali.ini you know your candidate" said the mother resi while bringing Prilla to sit near him who is also close to Ali

.

Spontan Ali turned his head and looked at the girl's face for some time when Ali was stunned by the woman's elegance before him. Isn't he the one he met in the airport?  Batin Ali's.

"You" said Ali and Prilla in unison with somewhat surprised expressions.

"so you know each other? " ask papa Rizal.

"had met in the airport" replied Ali without turning his eyes, while Prilla who was aware was being stared at Ali immediately lowered his head in shame.

"it's a soul mate" Kaia ceplos accompanied by laughter. Ali and Prilla just smiled. Smiling more embarrassed.

"yes let's do the show! " said mama resi who made Ali realized again.

The event starts with getting to know each other and continues with the core of the event.  The show went well.  The sound of laughter with various jokes two families now dominate the living room of the Prilla house.  While Ali and Prilla are still confused about what to do.

"bride-to-be don't be quiet. Ajakin around the house there La" said mamah gently, trying to make them closer again. Of course immediately got the approval of the mother of resi, papa rizal,kaia and Dani.

Unable to resist, Ali and Prilla agreed with clumsy smiles.

Prilla walked towards the garden behind the house, while Ali followed behind him with a distance not too far away.  Once at the park Ila chose to directly sit in the garden chair facing directly towards the pond kecik with the fountain right in the middle2nya.  Ali followed and sat next to each other, and kept his distance.  For a moment a silent atmosphere enveloped the two of them. Occasionally the sound of parrot chirping belongs to papa Rizal who fills the atmosphere.

"Ekhmmm " Ali cleared his throat. "She said she had a twin?"ask Ali 

"Yes." answered briefly.

"no one? " Task Ali.

" now again ditugasin diBali. Had wanted to go home, but could not because there again lack of medical personnel "welder answer.

"she wears the same hijab with glasses? "ask Ali again and make ila wonder.

"why emang? " tanya ila with an astonished expression while fixing the location of her glasses.

"klo yes.. Afraid that later could not be different where the wife where brother-in-law, the danger" replied Ali with a small laugh.Hearing that Prilla laughed, and without him knowing a pair of eyes Ali noticed him. Look at that smile so dazzling.  He had often cursed women who were more beautiful than him, but no one could stupefy him. He was unlike most women he had ever met. The way he looks is different. She looks so beautiful even with a simple makeup polish. Ali then regained consciousness.

"do you laugh?" ask Ali .

"funny aja.. Alesan is silly to know."

"my grandfather did not wear a veil and did not pack glasses, but do not ever think klo adekku will look sexy, because he does not like it that way.  He still maintains decency despite not having a headscarf even though "Prilla explains. Ali muttered the sign of understanding.

In Prilla's heart was somewhat astonished, finding that Ali had a sense of humor as well.  When seen, his face is dominated by a frozen attitude and rarely a smile. But it made him not deny that his good aura still emanated even though he put on the flatest face.

 The silence began to disappear between them. And somehow reach chat chatter between brands just flow even though it still seems crisp.   They ask each other questions, whether about work or hobbies. I don't think they've been talking long enough.  Suddenly, the fikri came to them with a small run.

"father.. Papa. "call the fikri while running towards Ali. Prilla who heard that was astonished. Seeing the look on his astonished face, Ali smiled and said" I told him to let it be more familiar" Ali explained. 

Hearing that, I took a sign of understanding.

"Hai fikri. "why ila while pinching the cheek of the 5-year-old.

"Hi aunty." replied with a 5-finger smile that showed her rows of white teeth.

"Called oma" said Fikri as he pulled Ali's hand.

Prilla and Ali followed.

 In the guest they are still busy chatting with laughter.  The atmosphere feels very friendly.

"well.. There they are" Mother said as she watched them emerge from the direction of the front door. They just smiled and walked towards the empty sofa while Ali sat near his mother while holding Fikri.

"Prilla Ali, we've decided that your marriage will take place at the end of next month. Let's not be too complicated, the plan is we just want to invite relatives with friends deket only, you agree ngak?" papa rizal. Prilla and Ali only nodded in agreement, although in fact they were very surprised because of the quick wedding plan.

Next month Prilly's coming anyway. So he can definitely attend. Mumbles in the heart.

Ali's family left at about 11 p.m.  After finishing in order2, please go straight to the bathroom to take a shower and prepare for the prayer.

Prilla threw her body into the basket with the blue sheet. His mind suddenly floated on the figure of Ali.  The figure she met in the airport turned out to be her future husband, is that how narrow the world?  Ask ila while chuckling small. Judging from the way he spoke he seemed to be a good person, although it was somewhat obvious that he rarely smiled. The jet black eyes with thick eyebrows and pliable eyelashes feel so perfect decorate his face.

"astaghfirulva". Said ila arrived2 because he realized that he was imagining the man who had not become his mahrom.  Just this time he felt stupid because of men. Before, it was never like this.  Is this love?  Gumam ila lirih's.  He then prepared to shower and pray.

                                          *****

Ali finished praying to lay down his body in bed patterned Barcelona club.  He then imagined the face of Prilla, the girl who made him stunned even though he just looked into the eyes of hazel framed glasses.  He smiled remembering his behavior that was looking at Prilla was caught by the master. Although handsome and have a good position, Ali is not the type of person who likes to spread charm on women.Even among his coworkers, Ali is famous for being very difficult to get along and familiar with women. But even though there are so many women who tease him. He shuddered imagining it.  Then his mind went back to Ila. He is still amazed by the way Ia laugh, not excessive and looks worried. His Muslim appearance made Ali even more stunned by him. "desire wife candidate" muttered Ali. Then he decided to sleep rest after he had not had time to rest after the flight.
