LOVE IS NOT LIKE
Chapter 9's

Ali dragged her suitcase casually while occasionally joking with fellow pilots, as well as her flight attendants and flight attendants. The atmosphere of the airport is like a 24-hour market that is not exhausted by visitors. Some people smiled at him, which was normal for Ali. Alipun replied with a faint smile.

He chose to first buy a cup of coffee to relieve his drowsiness. Understandably, the clock is still pointing at 11 pm Singapore time. After that he immediately rejoined his friend to prepare a flight back to Jakarta.

He entered the plane in definite steps. Greet people and return the smiles the passengers gave her. Even so, there are still those who say flat face. Actually Ali himself is not a cool person, he can be said to be quite friendly. It just does not want to be said of a man who likes to spread charm to others because of his friendly nature. Therefore he only shows his true attitude only to those closest to him and those who already know him.

While on the plane, his view focused on a child who was only a year old kira2 who was being carried by his father. A smile was created on Ali's face, imagining what it would be like if he was already a father. His gaze continued to fixate on the person, seeing how the father patiently calmed his fussy anank. I don't know where his mother is.

Because the longer the sound of the child's cry was getting louder, Ali could not help coming over. After all, he was also able to hold his older brother's child when he was a toddler.

"hi is beautiful, why is it so awkward" Ali said, smiling at her father.

His father from the toddler returned Ali's smile.

"this is the same here"tawar Ali tried to hold the child.

The boy's father didn't mind. Ali tried to calm the boy down. Menimang2nya while occasionally joking. Not long after that the crying began to subside.

"where is the mother, sir? "ask Ali by still holding the baby with the cheeks of the kingpin and the pink bandana accessories.

"again ketoilet sir" said the boy's father politely.

Without Ali realizing it, from earlier the other passengers continued to pay attention to Ali's sweet attitude. They did not think that this handsome captain pilot was also reliable in relieving baby cries.

"Cap, checking the plane." said Bayu reminded from the cockpit doorway.

"okay, a moment" Ali replied, handing the baby over to her father.

"thank you cap" said the baby's father was friendly.

"sama-sama. "reply Ali. .

then he rushed to the cockpit. While the flight attendants and feeders who saw Alipun were no less surprised to see Ali who could behave very sweetly in small children. Can make baby cry.

Not long ago the plane took off smoothly.

Prilla is still busy at school with other teachers to prepare for the school anniversary.

The stage looks neat with its decoration. The guest chair is also neatly lined.

The clock was already pointing at 4 as he walked towards the teacher's room. It's time to go home, the preparations are all set. When he arrived there, the teachers were preparing to go home too, because it was already home hours. He immediately took his sling bag and said goodbye to the other teacher.

He opened his phone and immediately read the message notification from madia ma'am. Ternyta bu Nadia was waiting for him at the parking lot. Because today Ila does not bring a car. And it just so happened that madia offered him a ride.

After seeing Madia's car, he rushed to meet her and entered the car. Not long ago the red car drove away from the parking area that was getting quieter and quieter.

During the trip they exchanged stories and joked. Now they look more familiar. If outside the school environment they call enough by name.

Tiba2 Prilla remembers her best friend during High School named Keke. It has been a long time since he met. They met at school graduation. After that they never met again. You could say they lost contact. Finally, Prilla heard that her best friend was in college in America because of the insistence of parents. His daydream about Keke arrived2 crotch when Nadia hit the brakes suddenly.

"astaghfirullah" they said simultaneously.

"why Nad? " tanya Ila with an anxious look on her face.

"not La, gpp. I had a reflex just now there was a guy playing nylonong .untung ngak hit and hit." replied Nadia while revealing her hair is a bit messy.

"already Nad, the important thing is no one was hurt" he replied later. Nadia also continued her journey that had been disrupted earlier.

"eh Nad, you want this, but promise not to be angry? Ask ila while glancing towards Nadia. Nadia who heard there was a tone of seriousness immediately glanced at ila while nodding.

"when do you have a marriage plan? "asked ila while chuckling to see Nadia's expression that instantly turned lame.

"ah, lu ma. I never said it. I don't want to think about it yet. I still want to be happy enjoying my youth" replied Nadia casually.

"but a boyfriend must have dong? "asked Prilla.

"what the hell is La, I'm definitely here. I admit I am beautiful. A lot of people walk in front of my house. Tpi yes it, I have not found a suitable" explained Nadia at length with her bang. Prilla laughed amusedly at the explanation of her friend.

"the most beautiful also the front vegetable maker of the complex" Timoal Ila laughed.

"just fine." protested Nadi. "This is La. I really like the same thing as dating. For me, dating is not necessary. What is needed in a relationship is a strong commitment. People our age is not the age of playing courtship continues to lash about because the reason is not clear. "snippy Nadia with a focused gaze on the streets. "You're told to choose, I'm choosing you aja La. No courtship, but marriage proposal" added Nadia .

"that's what you said, Nad. Commitment is more needed than a dating status. "sahut ila, nadia who heard it also nodded in agreement.

The rest of their journey filled with various chats while listening to song2 from the radio.

Ali rebahkn his body was stripped just to relax his muscles2nya.Ia then took hp tooled. Looking for no kevin to invite him to hang out in their usual place to gather

Ali

Not long after Kevin replied.

Kevin

Ali

Kevin

Okay, what time is it?

Ali

Morning at 9

Kevin

Okay ready

Ali decided to leave the room for some fresh air. The mother was watching tv alone. Alipun approached and undoed his intention for the security behind the house. Mother Resi who realized his arrival smiled. Ali immediately took a sitting position next to his mother.

"Li, later after you get married, the mother wants to stay in Bandung huh? "say mother slowly.

Ali's forehead seemed folded.

"lho, what is it? Why is bun?if here you can get the same brother, Ali, Bang Dani, fikri" explained Ali

"Not that, the boutique that is built has been too long mother stayed. Mommy wants to have Al. Partly if it is supported by the air seger. Good for the health of the mother" said the mother soft resi.

Ali seemed to think for a moment. What you say has a point, too. Given the mother has a respiratory disease makes Ali could not bear if not obey the will of his mother. What his mother said was true.

"have you told your sister your brother?"ask Ali again.

"they were initially not allowed to. But eventually they will. "

"if it is good for mother gpp. But mother ngak can be alone.there must be a nemenin. Continue to straighten the buttons also do not get soy sauce" added Ali at length.

"you forgot yes, there is Baja there Bik Rum also "answered his mother while chuckling.

While Ali just remembered that there was also his cousin. Ali was only worried about the condition of his mother. Hearing the reply of his mother Ali smiled. Then took her mother into his arms. He loved his mother so much. He just doesn't want his mother why2.

Because it feels boring tv show, Ali prefers to go back to the room.

He leaned his back on the head of the bed while staring at the screen of his cellphone with the look of a tangent face.

"telephone-engga, phone-engga"Ali argued with himself. He wanted to call Ila to let her know that her car was finished and she would deliver it herself. But he was embarrassed, he was afraid of being too interested. For about 10 minutes, Ali just looked at his phone with a flat expression. Is it that hard just to cut a little business? Ali rubbed his face rough.

Why should I be ashamed? Lu is a guy. The other side of his heart said so. Without a second thought Ali immediately nailed ila no and called her. The voice sounded for a moment. Before long the sound of greeting froze his body. Hany heard her voice her heart was already beating twice as fast.

"hello assalamualaikum? "greetings for the second time. Who managed to return Ali to his consciousness.

" wa. waalaikumussalam" Ali replied with admiration.

"why mas? Tumben malem2 phone?"prilla asked softly from there.

"oh yes, your car is. Tomorrow I want anterin. "say ali

"ngrepotin mas, later let me take it" declined ila gently.

"not really, after all tomorrow I have no flight schedule" Ali said

"sorry, so often ngrepotin"

"i don't think I'm being repotined. What time do I want to deliver? "asked Ali again.

"if it's about 12 and a half? But sorry again, please attend my school. Can ngak? "say Ila .karna if Prilla told her to drop off in the morning, ila wasn't good with Ali. Early in the morning has been rumbling. So husband has not.  Think ila.

"thank you, mas. Sorry once again"Ali chuckled at Ila's reply.

"yes same2. Already malem. Sleeping"advice

Ali who without Ali knew, Ila there smiled at his words

"yes, "

"before you go to sleep can I have permission?"  Ask Ali.

"mean mas? "asked Ila with a tone of astonishment.

"i want permission to enter your dream" rumble back Ali out too.

On the other hand, Prilla smiled at the rebound from Ali. He did not deny that a man like Ali ternyta could also behave rompically. Though his face was too dominated by a flat expression.

"yeah, it's malem." answered Prilla accompanied by her small oddity. Assalamualaiku" added Prilla. .

Ali who heard Prilla's naughtiness became ashamed of herself. He himself did not know, why he could behave like that to Prilla. He never teased a woman out there.

"Waalaikumussalam" replied Ali.

A smile was created on Ali's lips. After that, he decided to sleep. Soon his eyes closed. Towards his subconscious.

****

While Prilla he was still sitting while leaning on the head of the bed. Waiting for a phone call from her beloved sister. End2 his sister is very busy so it is very difficult to contact.

His thoughts sometimes drifted on Ali. The person he had known for a few weeks. Even soon the wedding will be held. Preparation is 50%, actually the marriage business has been handed over to mama and her future father-in-law. Because he himself is busy. Not good actually but they themselves are asking to work on it. Ila herself could not refuse and resigned. Moreover, invited guests are also from relatives and sahabt close. So not too draining.

Before long, the phone rang. He immediately warmed it. Shortly thereafter, a face very similar to hers. His smile was brimming with chubby cheeks which further added a cute impression to his face.

"assalamualaikum beloved sister" he said enthusiastically while showing his sweet smile.

"waalaikumussalam manjaku's sister" replied the gaunty. Prilly looks puckered her lips because it is said to be spoiled.

"how's brother doing? "ask while leaning on her chair.

"alhamdulillah well., how are you saying mom papa? "Ask Ila teases.

"i've called my mom papa first,, weeee" Prilly said as she stuck out her tongue. She laughed at her sister's behavior.

"uh, how would the sister-to-be, he said he wanted a story? "asked Prilly full of probes at her brother. Prilla only blushed in shame because she was teased by her own sister.

"ihhh, ciee shy. "ledek Prilly to her brother.

"already ahhh dek. "pronounced while covering his face.

"let's tell you a story, can't wait! The guy's good, right? " prilly urged him to tell the story immediately.

"so far it looks good deck, he is arguably flat face, but sometimes 2 he can joke too. Continues yesterday his brother about him will ngalarang brother so teacher what has become his wife, trus said he, he did not bkaln banned as long as brother can for time. As far as you can see he is also polite deck, mature, can appreciate women" said Prilla at length.

While Prilly faithfully listened to every word spoken from her brother without even wanting to interrupt.

"alhamdulillah, sis, means now you can accept this matchmaking with air. Besides I'm sure, papah will not choose the wrong person" added Prilly, who is owned by Prilla.

"hopefully the candidate Prilly tar is that too, brother? "say Prilly with a chuckle who was immediately ignored by her brother.

"tar if already married lessin effective attitude huh dek? "pronounce with a laugh. He imagined how his sister's husband would face the spoiled attitude of Prilly who was sometimes like a child.

"no, that's a print from birth" Prilly replied as she put her lips together.

Prilly actually wanted to shout about the man who would be his choice, but he did not. He just felt not ready. This time, Prilly hid important things from her brother.

"it's a deck mallem, you rest gih. Inget health itself as well" said kakanya firmly.

"get ready boss, yeah. Assalamualaikum" pamit prilly

"waalaikumussalam" answered Prilla softly.

Phone connection terminated. Prilla immediately decided to sleep because it was already late.

Ali drove the car casually while listening to the radio which had always been a loyal friend when in the car.

Today he deliberately drove Prilla car because after gathering with his friends he will go directly to the school Prilla. Remembering the phone chat last night Ali chuckled amusedly. He himself is still surprised, why can throw a dreadful chatter of quality. This is not the real Ali. Especially for women. You could say he never seduces women, he is very maintain communication with women. Not arrogant or how, Ali understood that women use feelings more often than logic. He does not want to be labeled as a man who is easy to give hope but also easy to leave. Shouldn't women be protected and protected? Thought Ali.

The streets look crowded. The sunlight was starting to feel the heat. Ali tapped his fingers 2nd by car while occasionally humming following the song played from the radio.

Soon he arrived at the cafe where he and his friends gathered together to just let go of longing and remember the past 2 schools first. Andra and Kevin were waiting for him at one of the tables. Those who saw Alipun looked sullen.

"who knows who, who's late" Andra said . Ali only chuckled while greeting the 2 best friends.

"sorry2.." said Ali by showing the grin of his horse.

"has it been pesen yet? "ask Ali later. Andra and kevin shook their heads together. No lam they ordered the order. Smbil waited for their order to intersperse by chatting while joking.

"eh Li, I hear you want to get married huh? "ask Kevin by raising both eyebrows.

"you where are you from? "ask Ali while sipping her cappuccino.

"Who else is Andra? " said Kevin while menonyor jidat Ali.

"goddess at the end of the month. Doain huh? "

"muke gile, you want to marry the stories. "add kevin with ketus. Andra who was listening shrugged her shoulders.

"needless" said Ali casually.

"critain hunt"cooked Kevin enthusiastically.

"critain Ndra" Ali arrived2. Andra who heard it was confused.

"why me, who wants to marry me"jawb andra . Ali laughed at Andra's expression.

After that Ali told kevin that in fact he was betrothed. At first he also refused but lama2 he was able to accept. Kevin who heard it nodded in understanding. Sedangan andra is busy with his own food, not paying attention to the chat because Andra already knows.

"Or not Vin, the candidate Ali ..beuhh.. Muslimah really. " said Andra with amazement on the sidelines of his meal.

Kevin who heard Andra's words seemed to round his eyes wide. Before long he immediately laughed until it made Andra and Ali look at each other because they were surprised.

"why are you laughing? "asked andra. Alipun looked in wonder at kevin.

"pantes Li, you haven't been a girl before. Ternyta your Muslim type. Kan from the past who chased you a sexy-sexy girl" said Kevin with the rest of his laugh. His face was red with laughter.

Andra who heard it came and laughed curled up followed by Kevin who returned could not help laughing. Andra just remembered that once among the three of them only Ali who never dated, even though many women were chasing him. But no one could take Ali's heart.

"yes, why did I realize Vin. Ternyta your type is so" Andra added. Ali who heard it could only snort angrily while eating his fries, waiting for Andra and Kevin to finish their laughter which greatly disturbed Ali's eardrum.

"when is there a wedding plan, Vin,?"ali asked as the two of them eased their laughter.

Kevin who heard it just smiled.

"gue is still a mantepin heart, doain aja" said Kevin casually, who was embraced by Ali and Andra.

"mantepin aja bro, tar keburu dicomot people"celtuk Andra.

"that's it. "give Ali

"gue again waiting for a moment ps aja, lah, lu when Ndra? Tanya kevin turned the tide. .Andra who heard it choked. Ali gave him a drink.

"no one yet. Pursue one person just not dapet2" said Andra ketus. Kevin laughed it off.

"the real one?. Face handsome gini trnyta ngak guarantee the practice yes li" chirped Kevin who immediately rewarded jakai from Andra.

Ali who already knew andrapun just laughed at their behavior.

"that's it, the little kid cake knows. Doain. Moga the Andra cepet dapet" said Ali with a small chuckle. Who are possessed by them.

Ali glanced at his black watch. He jumped in shock, ternyta already at 11 past 20. He hurried to his two friends.

"campus me, I first yes. I want to know that the car has my candidate. The promise is as high as 12 because" Ali said hurriedly while greeting his two friends.

"let's say kangen"celtuk kevin. Ali who heard it just smiled.

"it's sono buru, tar he waituin" said andra who was also embraced by kevin.

Ali accelerated his steps towards the parking lot. He didn't want Prilla to keep him waiting.
