LOVE IS NOT LIKE
chapter 4's
The clock has been pointed at 8 pm when ila has finished checking her protege duties. He then prepared some material that he would teach tomorrow. He took the dinakas hp and then squeezed his sister no. The voice still sounded for a while.
"assalamuaalikum sis"sapa ily.
"waalakumussalam" answered gently.
"home home? "
"this is again on the road, how was the application event sis? "asked ily enthusiastically
"alhamdulillah smoothly on deck, how is your duty to be avenged? Ngak? Ask ila later.
"alhamdulillah smoothly brother. He is also good2. Oh yeah, sister-to-be how's the guy? "ask ily with a curious tone.
"that's it" answered casually
"that's how? "answered ily with a somewhat seductive tone.
"the handsome kalo is handsome, only if you see a glimpse of his parents kayak rarely really smile.so it was cold" replied ila
"sister should be grateful, it's a sign that he does not easy TP TP to other girls" replied ily while laughing. "but the person is good ngak sak? "ask ily then
"the way he talks, the cake is nice, polite, too. Just that, rarely a smile" replied ila with a small chuckle.
"thank you if that's my brother.I'm also sure that papa's choice will also not be wrong anyway" replied ily gently
"and hopefully also the decision of the right brother deck"
"aamiin, so when's the wedding?" ask ily
"end of next month, you must come." replied ila with emphasis on the word come.
"ready, if this ily will dateng.what the hell is not for my beloved brother soul mate" timpal ily accompanied by his crisp laughter.
"could you, yes you have rest, do not forget to pray, continue to eat regularly, do not eat a lot of candy, later toothless"lead with a ticklish giggle.
"okay deh, tpi if make candy ngak promise you" replied ila
"ngeyel, yes, you have a heart. Assalamualaikum"
"waalaikumussalam"
Ila tried to close her eyes but could not. She then went to the balcony of her room, the air felt cold tonight, the breeze hit her pink hijab. Usually he set the murotal quran if he can not sleep, he has done.But somehow he can not sleep yet.
Getting married at a young age never crossed his mind though. He still wants to find new things that he has never met. But sometimes what we plan is not in line with God's plan, but that does not mean he blames fate. He believes that what God has planned for him is the best course for him. Maybe with the match God wants to keep him away from adultery. Isn't there always a good thing behind what we think is bad? And it takes foresight to realize it. Because sometimes we are too carried away by emotions that we cannot see the good side of what happens to us, and we easily blame God, assuming that God is unfair.
His mind suddenly remembered Ali. The one who will be her husband. Many men have expressed love for him, but he always refused by arguing that he did not want to date. Many were more handsome than Ali, but somehow reaching out, the man seemed to have something he had been looking for. Ali looks cold with a flat face expression, but so hearty said that Ali has a soft side that will someday be known.
Drtts... Drtts..
The ringing sound of the cell phone resuscitated him from his daydream about Ali. He hurried to pick up and saw a message from someone he had just thought of. And he just remembered that he had exchanged phone numbers with Ali. He opened the message.
Ali
Assalamualaikum
Ila looked at it with a smile. And immediately reply.
Me
Waalaikumussalm
Not long after Ali returned to reply.
Ali
Kirain is asleep, not yet😅
Me
Cannot😂 yet
Ali
Sorry, tomorrow's the show? If I don't want to take you to the park. Itung make that introduction.
Long enough to think about Ali's invitation. That's because he never walked alone with the opposite sex. But Ali's intention to take him on the road is good too, he can little by little know about Ali's personality. He then typed a reply for Ali
Me
There is no. But Fikri ajakin huh?
Ali did not reply for long
Ali
Okay all right, tomorrow I pick up the ass off yeah.
Me
Ok
Ali
Assalamualaiku
Me
Waalaikumussalam´s chat.
So I decided to sleep. Somehow the drowsiness he had been waiting for since had finally appeared as well.
*****
Ali still plays his guitar. Sing some of his favorite songs. His mind was still not separated from ila. Whether reaching for the thought of inviting the path just appeared, he thought he would reject his invitation. Apparently not, even though Ia wanted Fikri to come with them. Ali guessed before, if a girl like Ila does not want to walk only two, especially with a non-mahrom. Therefore, he immediately agreed when I wanted Fikri to come along.
"limited edition girl" muttered Ali with a knotty smile. Ali realized that he had now begun to admire the girl named Prilla.
Many girls more beautiful than ila who had approached him.But Ali was not interested at all. Even Andra has often made a betrothal with his friend2nya. But sia2, Ali remains uninterested.However different from ila. It can not be ruled out that Ali was already entangled with him since the first glance. Although he had just been introduced to ila, he felt comfortable, what else when he joked with ila in the backyard. He felt that there was a happy spot in his heart that was open.
Ali smiled faintly realizing what he had just thought.
The air was cooler outside, Ali decided to go inside to his room. The mother looks like she is watching tv. Ali approached him.
"kok have not slept bun, already this malem you know" asked Ali gently while sitting on the side of his bundle.
"not sleepy yet, son, you are the one who rests" replied the mother with a warm smile.
"It's 4 days off" replied Ali
"yes, but you also need a lot of rest, the pilot should not take the plane just because of lack of sleep"tip his mother chuckled.
"there was only the mother, it was Ali up first yes. Go to sleep. Mother do not malem2" Ali said as he passed to his room.
Arriving in Ali's room immediately put his body in bed. Soon his eyes closed. Taken to the dreamland.
*****
The sound of the alarm clock woke ila from her deep sleep. He blinked his eyes. "it's 5 o'clock" muttered ila while putting back the alarm clock was uttered. He rushed for morning prayers.Finished prayers he went down to the kitchen. Sure enough, his mother was busy struggling with cooking utensils, preparing breakfast. Ila rushed closer.
"morning mah? "softer ila.
"morning darling." replied mama uly with a smile towards her.
"who would you like to help? "ask ila.
"that boy, "mama uly replied while pointing at the vegetables to be cooked.
Ila rushed to pick up and sat down at the table to eat.
"eh mah, Ali want to take the road? "asked me nervous
His mother showed a somewhat surprised expression, but not for long his mother assented with a smile.
"gpp really, after all, mama believes that Ali's son is good." replied mama uly without turning her attention to cooking activities.
"lagian ila also told Ali to take Fikri, his nephew ma" he said later.
"yes, mama believes in you" replied mama uly softly.
Finished helping with the cooking, Ia rushed to get ready to teach. Today he wears formal dress. Looks very graceful, especially decorated with matching color hijab, the more it makes it look more beautiful.
Mom and Dad were waiting for her for breakfast. Suddenly he remembered his sister, he really missed her.
After breakfast, I rushed to school.
"i left first yes mah, pah" said ila while kissing her parents' hands.
"beware son" said his father who will also prepare to go to the office.
Ila replied with a smile. Then drive the black car casually.
The atmosphere of kindergarten is quite crowded. Some of the students who already knew him greeted and salim him. He also replied with his best smile. It is his own satisfaction to be a teacher, mind2 that he has been waiting for a long time.
He walked to the teacher's office. It seems some teachers have arrived. Prepare the material to be taught.
"morning ma'am ila" said Mr. Anton in a slightly seductive tone.
"don't want to be teased ma'am, she ma playboy" said madia suddenly.
Ila just laughed at hearing it.
"ciee, is this jealous? "reply Mr. Anton did not lose frenzy.
"ihh, ogah jealous am a guy model cake pak anton" cibir bu nadia.
"already, don't joke mute" lerai ila while chuckling at their commotion. While guru2 others are used to seeing things like this.
The class has started.ila rushed to her class. Looks like the students are neat on each bench. After he finished praying, he then passed his students one by one.
"well, today I will open for hours of story, and today I will tell the story of ashabul kahfi, the story of ashabul kahfi, have you heard it yet? Ask ila girly
"not yet ma'am" replied his disciple in unison.
"well, this story tells about 7 young men who fell asleep in a cave for 309 years, long huh? " said ila. While the students look enthusiastic listening to him.
Ila also started her story. His 2nd disciple listened seriously, occasionally joking a little so that the atmosphere was not too monotonous. After almost 15 minutes of telling the story, Ia stopped the story.
"i'm not finished yet, is it? "tapping one of his students. Because he deliberately hung the story.
"yes ma'am" said another student
Ila smiled and said "you want to know the continuation of the story, wait 3 more days huh? "answer ila while giggling at the disappointed expression of his student.
"hayo, can't be angry. Mom's story time is only 15 minutes. Now it's time for you to do the coloring task. "say ila with a smile
Classes are running normally. Classes are over at 10. Ila rushed towards the meeting room, preparing for the monthly meeting.
*****
The meeting was completed at exactly 1pm. After the completion of the prayer dzuhur ila immediately rushed home. Driving his black car through the crowded streets of the capital.
He turned on the radio in his car, so as to divert his boredom during the road. After a 30-minute drive, he arrived at his home. He then parked his car.
Seen Mr. Maman, the gardener at home is tidying plants in the front yard. I smiled at him too.
When opening the door the atmosphere looks lonely, his mother who used to watch tv is not visible.
"maybe more sleep" muttered ila.
He rushed to his room. After taking a shower, I walked to her mother's room. But her mother does not exist. He then went down to ask Maman.
"where are you, sir? "ask ila after finding maman sir is in the back garden.
"sorry non, just forgot to take pesen madam. Madam there is a condangan event to the house of the non" replied maman sir while showing the grin of his horse.
"oh yeah it is. Thank you sir" said ila then rushed to the kitchen.
After lunch I decided to take a nap. Today he felt very tired. Moreover, in a moment he had to prepare an event for his school birthday where he taught. He was assigned to the section of the show as a creative.
Not long after he was shut down. Forgetting a little tired in his body.
*****
The clock was set at half-time at 4pm. Finished asar ali prayers get ready2 for safety with ila. Ali wore casual clothes, with black jeans combined with navy-colored shirts. After he finished he rushed out of the room to meet the fikri who was waiting for him while watching his favorite upin ipin cartoon.
"hi handsome" said Ali surprised Fikri who was seriously watching cartoons.
"ayo departs, "take ali while reaching out to lead the fikri.
"let's go papa" replied Fikri girang
After saying goodbye they left.
Ali's car drove smoothly through the streets of this elite housing complex. Penetrating the streets of the capital that will soon be jammed because it coincides with the clock home office.
Ali's house with Ila is not too far away. Because the road has not been too jammed Ali can be a little faster to drive his car. Arriving at home ila, Ali immediately parked his car. Take Ali down. He then pushed the bell. But there's also no answer. Until not long ago, Maman sir came.
"sorry, who's looking? " tnya mr. maman is friendly.
"sorry sir, look for ila. Can you please call? "please ask Ali.
"oh yes den, I call.Let's go in first" bargained maman sir.
Ali and Fikripun go inside the house. Sit on one of the sofas. There are some pictures on the walls of this house. The time of Ali's application did not have time to pay attention around this room. Tiba2 his focus is adrift on a photo. The photo shows 2 very similar faces, their faces look very worried with 2 pigtails of hair, which distinguishes only one wearing glasses and one not, and Ali could immediately guess that the one who cursed the glasses was ila. Even people will be very difficult to distinguish them because their faces are very similar.
"sorry yes, I overslept" suddenly2 ila voice diverted it.
Ila is seen still using her robe with brown khimar. His face is still very visible. Guess if I just woke up.
"yes gpp kok" replied Ali with a smile.
"wait a minute yes, I want to pray first it's ready2.oh yes, what would you like to drink? "ila bargain .
"don't bother" replied ali.
"yes already tar if you want to drink call sir maman aja yes, fikri if thirsty say yes? "say ila while smiling at Fikri."Ready aunt" Fikri also assented.
He rushed up to get ready2.
Ila did not have much time to prepare2.lucky just now she had a shower. After all, Ali is not good with Fikri if you have to wait for him for a long time. After praying asar ila change clothes and get ready2. He simply applied a thin powder brush and pink lipbalm on his lips. Today she wears a light blue robe with a matching colored hijab.
He then went down to approach Ali and the fikri who had been waiting for him.
They also went to the park not far from the house.
The atmosphere of the park looks rather crowded. They also decided to sit on one of the park benches close to anak2 rides so that Fikri could play. The silence was not between them. Without realizing it, a pair of eyes Ali noticed it.noticed how beautiful ila even though only using simple makeup.
Tiba2 Fikri came over.
"father.. Want ice cream"grim Fikri
"yesama aunty "pretty Ila offers the avenged girly smile of the fikri.
Alipun was waiting for him in the garden.
Not long after they returned with 2 pieces of ice cream.
"that's just 2. Where's papa? "asked Ali with a look on Fikri's face.
"Papa together with a beautiful aunt" replied Fikri while driving to the game rides that he had left behind. While ila just smiled amusedly at the words of fikri.
"You want, I buy it? You said Fikri you do not like ice cream, so I did not buy it" said Prilla offers.
"it is not necessary, you are" replied Ali softly but still his flat face still dominates the look of his face.
"Can you ask me something? "asked ali with a serious tone. He stopped for a moment from eating his ice cream. Glancing at ali with a smile and then answering "please, while I can still answer, I will answer" answered politely.
"what's the reason you accepted this match? "asked Ali with a curious face.
Ila breathed out slowly.
"i just don't want to harass my parents repeatedly. I too often make them give up because of my will. And maybe in this way I can make them a little happy.When again I can make them happy. They're everything to me. They never demanded anything from me, and this time, when they were talking about our matchmaking, their eyes seemed to expect me to agree to it. "say crazy. Eyes glazed. Holding back her cries. Ali refreshed every word from Ila carefully while still watching her eyes. Ali knew that this girl was holding back tears even though she was blocked by glasses.
"what is the reason you took it?"ask ila back.
Ali distracts him. Looking at the view of anak2 who was playing in the park.
"more or less the same reason I am with you. Maybe this is our destiny La. The path we must walk with sincerity. Wouldn't everything feel lighter when we are sincere and sincere in what God has set? "say Ali while smiling at Ila. Ila nodded while nodding.
"do you have to?"ask Ali later.
"i've thought many, many2. I'm not a typical person who wants to live things based on a sense of compulsion" answered gently.
"Can you love me? "asked Ali again, still staring.
"the word of a love person can be present because it is accustomed. At the moment I have not said anything, maybe so. But I'm sure we can do this together. I don't know who will first feel the shakes. But I hope we can be together2 foster that sense. Aren't we going to live together soon? "asked Ila while bowing in shame. This time he talked a lot with men. Usually no. Ali smiled at the reply from Ila.
"i promise I will try to love you Annisa Apprilya" Ali replied with a glance towards ila. Ila who snorted him also blushed in embarrassment.
"o Allah, the ice cream is liquid sampe" said ila arrived2 and was about to throw away the remaining ice cream that had melted it.
"don't throw it away, milabazir" Ali said suddenly.
"keep wanting to be flanked? Want to take it home in the fridge again? "asked ila wonder.
"here let me finish. This is the purchase of the money"jawan Ali chuckled.
"surely? My ex is" wondered Ia wonder.
"sure, bring it here"
Ila also handed the melted ice cream to Ali. Alipun spent it without feeling uncomfortable though. And without Ali knowing, I secretly pay attention to ali. She smiled seeing him.
Seen Fikri is still cool playing with various rides at the park. The twilight is very visible. The orange color dominates the sky of the capital today. Seemed sad and soothing. Ila looked at her watch, seen the clock was already pointing at half 6.
"home yuk? It's late afternoon" Ia said to Ali. Alipun. While Ila rushed to Fikri who was still playing.
Peacock home. Throughout the journey is more often dominated by silence. While Fikri fell asleep comfortably in the lap of ila.
Some time later ila eyes also closed with the fikri in her lap. Ali saw him smiling.
