(Not) Layla Majnun
Mosaic 76

#Albifardzan

I'm in the room. Go straight to the bathroom. Take ablution after that stretch the prayer next to the bed.

"No prayer, Ndre?" much

"Yes. Wait a minute," he replied.

While he took ablution I performed the Qobliyah Sunnah prayer isya'. Just as Andre was coming, we started praying.

We are both used to praying while traveling. There is no joke about who is a priest. Anyone can, who is ready first. There is no contradiction or impoverished pretext of faith and science. Pray yes jama'ah, set the heart on the Alloh.

I fold the prayer mat back and put it on the nightstand. Let go of the kopyah and lay my body in a super comfortable mattress. It might not take me long to get stuck.

"Bi," call Andre he's also right next to me. He leaned his back and crossed his legs. His hands are chested. His eyes are staring at me. Questioningly.

"What's wrong? I'm sleepy,"

He did not answer directly. Still staring meaningfully.

"Layla, what are you for?" ask Andre suddenly

"Well, why ask about that. Don't worry about me your best friend and you want to get him through me,"

"Ck! Nope. I want to know, what is Layla like to you?"

Andre questions the same thing.

"Like what, how? She's my sister, my Layla. What else is it like?''

Andre sighed.

"And yes Bi... If Layla wasn't your sister. Are you going to like it too?" ask Andre full of questions

I'm still digesting the question. Why did he suddenly ask like that?

"I love him now, let alone like him. Don't understand I'm the same direction you're talking about,"

"So, if you could marry Layla, you would also try to get her?''

Deg deg deg

"What kind of thinking is that, Ndre? Be married? I'm weird talking about it,"

"Not strange, Bi. But I swear, Bi... That's when you carried Layla. My heart, Mak jleb.... Sick scrapping! I've never been so jealous of people."

"You're jealous look at me, Layla?" I laughed hearing that.

"The oath is very sick. Moreover, you are already carrying it like in the horror movies earlier,"

"Haha.... Your hallucinations are real, right,"

It's true that the horror movies we just watched were some that showed the same scenes as I did. But that's not because I want to make the same scene. Yeah, because there's no other way but to carry Layla to the room. It would be unbearable if he slept alone in the living room. Moreover, this house is not ours.

Even if I accompany it will be no better.

"I'm a guy, Bi. I used to see those kayaking people. But look at you with Layla just now, I swear! I am very tired. Whatever, you want to say I'm better or like what! But I'm really speechless. Lo's view of Layla was deep,"

"Ck! Loe guys, right?! We're both boys! You must understand, what do I mean?!''

"Yes, Understand! But that kind of thought wasn't in my mind, Ooonn!" Exclamation

Andre silent. He still looked. Like I didn't tell you what really happened.

"Indeed, if it wasn't me who'd be fat, Layla?" much

"I can,"

"Add ngawur!"

"Well, why? If you can, why can't I?"

"I am his sister. I'm also used to carrying Layla. Since childhood, who carried Layla when she slept like that, yes, me,"

"Based since childhood?" Search Andre

"Yes, it used to be a back car. He is now big, sleep is also his condition is not possible I carry behind. He woke up,"

"For a long time from childhood to adulthood, never loe deg degan when carrying Layla?"

I'm eye-fishing. Andre's question is getting weird. I shake my head.

"Everything?" ask Andre to make sure

"Nothing like that" I replied.

"Well, you're not siblings, are you?"

The deg! I was stunned for a moment when Andre said that. It felt like my heart was hit by a huge rock to create an irresistible tightness.

"So I thought, if you were unfortunately Layla more than unfortunately sister to sister. Because of your overprotective attitude towards Layla. You did anything for your sister. Not to mention, once you never was like another brother who complained about his sister. Look at the two of you, I'm not a sister but a couple. Huh! But thank God, if you really know your limits."

Andre spoke at length. His views were not nearly the same as those of people in general. Not infrequently indeed, Layla and I he considered pairs because maybe our faces do not have the resemblance of brothers. This is because we are not siblings.

I guess only strangers feel our relationship is different, but it turns out that my best friend Andre feels the same way. Is that right, I'm over-inflating Layla? To make me or Layla bound to each other? So we used to do both things, without wanting anyone else in it.

"Layla is an adult now, bi. Soon she will fall in love with the opposite sex. As a good sister don't put too much pressure on her, let her grow up like a girl in general." Says Andre

I smile. My heart feels hot. I want to argue. But what Andre said was true.

"That I said doesn't mean I didn't justify your actions. After all, Layla must be proud to have a sister like you, who takes care of her so much." Andre continued

"Perhaps, I still consider him a child, yes Ndre. I'm ordinary," I said with a faint smile.

"Maybe,"

That night I could not find my sleep. The conversation with Andre opened my mind a little. Layla's recent change in attitude may also be due to my overprotective attitude.

At the dining table. He looks like he doesn't like me watching Salwa. Perhaps it was because I never showed my attention to anyone else in front of Layla. Maybe that's what pisses him off. Moreover, Salwa has the same age as himself. Could she be jealous, for fear that I would consider Salwa a sister like her?

I shook my head. Funny when jealous like that. Worrying. But I can't be sure if it's true that layla is jealous, or maybe there's some other reason?
