AGAPE (SELFLESS LOVE)
Give Rest

The man who from any direction looks handsome is still fixed looking at the moon as Gama the younger brother continues to rub his sturdy shoulders.

Maxim and Enda were fighting smoke, Hikam was playing a cell phone, Mr. Yudha was sitting faithfully by Agam's side.

"Sister, I just saw Brother crying. But, I was also sad to see my sister-in-law, I think my sister-in-law has epilepsy" Gama said.

"Sst."

Mr. Yudha put an index finger on his lips. Wishing Gama could be silent, did not add burden in the heart of Agam.

"Okay."

Gama made a gesture as if to zip his lips.

"Sir, Yudha," call Agam.

"L-yes, w-what's up, sir?"

"Please ask Maxim for a cigarette, I want to smoke" he said. While his gaze was still focused on the moon.

"Sister, no. Mom will be angry. Mother does not forbid us to smoke, Agam also always reminds me not to smoke, how the hell? Consistent dong, Brother." Gama astonishment.

"Sir Yudha, hurry."

As if he did not care about Gama's words, Agam still asked for cigarettes.

"Good, sir."

Mr. Yudha hastened. He knows Agam is under severe stress. So, he can't refuse.

"What?! Big boss wants to smoke? No sir, why are we staying away? Because he was allergic to cigarette smoke, we ever smoked nearby, Mr. Agam immediately coughs, even to the point of vomiting." Maxim refused Mr. Yudha's request.

"Lha, how do you go, dong? He's stressed out, Max."

"Pity of our big boss, hmm .. hopefully the boss's girlfriend is safe, very horrified if you find out why. Crazy, gorgeous, full package, sexy anyway."

"Yes, Max. You heard her voice no, anyway? Horrified as well, how raucous. Oh, God she so georgeous," decak Enda.

"Enough!"

'PLAQUE.'

'PLAQUE.'

Mr. Yudha landed a powerful slap on Enda and Maxim's cheeks. They grimace.

"You guys don't be so presumptuous, yeah!"

While snatching cigarettes and lighters from Enda's hands.

"Ma-sorry, Sir. Please do not complain to the boss," lamented Enda as Pak Yudha passed.

"This is the cigarette."

Mr. Yudha gave a cigarette to Agam.

Without hesitation, Agam picked it up, put it on his lips, then Pak Yudha pressed the lighter to help light a cigarette.

And sure enough, one cigarette suction with the filter, is enough to make Agam cough.

"Uhhhuk, uhhhuk, uhhhuk."

Agam continued to cough nonstop, until his eyes were reddened and watery. But Agam seems to lose control, he still holds the cigarette and will suck it again, when clearly he still coughs.

"Sir Agam! Enough's enough! This is not how you get rid of stress!" Angry gama.

'PLAQUE.'

This time Gama lost patience, he slapped Agam, then snatched the cigarette and stepped on it to the ground.

Maxim, Enda, and Mr. Yudha, for a while can only listen, as well as Hikam.

"Jr ...."

Then Agam vomited, but nothing was spewed.

"Mr ...."

Mr. Yudha approached and massaged his shoulders.

Agam continued to spit out the wind, he crouched down while holding his stomach.

"Nr ...."

Gama hugged his back.

"Sister-in-law must be fine, please don't be like this. You have to be strong."

Gama sobbed behind Agam's back. Just this time he saw his brother was helpless like this.

"You're weak as it turns out, Linda doesn't deserve a weak man," Hikam made things worse.

"WHAT ARE YOU SAYING!"

Mr. Dirut wrathful. It stands, and ....

With one round of the body, Agam kicked Hikam's stomach without being prevented by anyone, until Hikam toppled from the park bench with the position of the head on the legs, feet on the head.

"Hahahah, taste! It's delicious, no" ledek Enda, and Maxim also chuckled.

"Sister, enough!"

Gama hugged Agam who was going to attack Hikam again while continuing to cough.

And when Hikam was about to avenge Agam's actions, Berli's father came with Uncle Jordan.

"Pa-Uncle, how's it going?"

Agam dismissed Gama and immediately approached his uncle.

"Uhhuhuk, uhhuk."

"Why you?" ask Uncle Jordan.

"Agam was forcing smoking, even though cigarette smoke allergy," said Gama.

Berli's father looked at Agam with a fixed gaze, as if he was back to making sure that the man was indeed worthy of his daughter.

"Geez, how are you so determined, Ben? Enda, quickly buy green tea, "Uncle Jordan ordered.

"Okay" Enda hurried.

"Let's sit there," Uncle Jordan asked as he pointed to the circular park bench.

"Said Mr. Yudha, you have an important meeting, right? Quick go Ben, HGC needs you."

"Uncle, what is Uncle thinking?! Uhhuk, uhhuk, I can't leave before I see her condition."

Agam shouted, even pointing at Uncle Jordan because he was upset.

"What's? Really true?"

Agam stared intently at Berli's father, as if he wanted to explore the truth from Berli's father's words. Berli's father returned the gaze of Agam, and he became the first to turn because Agam's eyes were so domineering.

"I want to see it before the meeting. Max, I want a mask and glasses. Hurry," he said.

"Ben, sit down first. Please take a breath, calm down and listen to Uncle's explanation. The doctor said, Linda should not be bothered by anyone, her blood pressure is still high, Linda must be really calm and well rested," explained Uncle Jordan.

"Keep, why can't I see it, Uncle?"

"No Ben, not now. Linda's been taken care of, now you focus first on dealing with your problems because after you finish the meeting, we will have an important event."

"Can't be Uncle, I can't go to the HGC before I see him, at least I have to ask the doctor who's treating him." Agam.

"Ben!" snapped Uncle Jordan in a loud voice.

"WHAT!"

Agam's voice was no less loud.

"Tonight, Uncle and Mr. Berli agreed to marry you and Linda."

"WHAT?!" the words Agam and Hikam are in unison.

Enda and Maxim looked at each other, then smiled. Mr. Yudha and Gama put their hands together, tos high five.

"Dad, I'm not serious, right?"

Hikam immediately held Berli's father's hand. The words of Uncle Jordan hurt him terribly. How could the opportunity to get that angel-like woman lost in an instant?

No this can't happen.

"Father seriously, Hikam," replied Berli's father.

Father Berli's eyes did not look at Hikam, he was staring at Agam who was currently hugging Uncle Jordan because he was moved.

"Uncle, this isn't a dream, is it? I'm going to get married? Please say it again."

Agam still does not believe in this happy reality.

"Yes, Ben. Seriously uncle, let's hug your future in-laws, apologize and thank them, "persuade Uncle Jordan in a soft voice.

Finally, with all his courage and novelty, Agam approached Berli's father. Stammering, he said ....

"Dad, thank you. I will take care of Linda with all my soul and body. I also apologize for all my mistakes, sins, and past lives."

pagam stood and looked down in front of Berli's father.

Hearing Agam's voice, Hikam retreated. The mountainous regret had now disturbed the recesses of his heart.

If only he had refused to go to the city, maybe .. he would not have met Linda face directly, would not have seen her beauty up close, until finally his old love blossomed again, he said, and I really wanted Linda.

Yes, maybe the same as Angga, Hikampun wants Linda's cohesion. Right, it could be like that.

"Dad, I'll go first, just move on."

Hikam turned back, and when he passed Agam, he whispered ....

"Congratulations, you're lucky. But remember, luck always pairs with misfortune. Careful."

I don't know what Hikam meant, Agam doesn't care. He was still down, waiting for Berli's father's response.

"Hikam, where are you going?" Berli's father called Hikam.

"You go to that mini market, Dad." Hikam replied without looking.

"Oh," Berli's father let Hikam go, then looked at Agam.

"Sir, here's the drink."

Enda came to bring green tea, immediately gulped Agam to neutralize the effects of cigarette smoke allergy according to Uncle Jordan's direction.

"Come here" said Berli's father.

And Agam approached nervously. Seriously, Agam thinks it's better to be a speaker at an international forum, rather than having to interact with prospective in-laws who actually hate him.

"Yes Dad."

His head lowered even more when he was at the closest distance to Father Berli, until his chin came into contact with the chest.

The hospital garden, the breeze of the night and the beauty of the moon, bears silent witness to how a Agam is really clumsy and stiff.

"I bless you for marrying my daughter, which is important you guys are halal first, get married religiously tonight as well. After that, you take care of everything."

Berli's father spoke as he tearfully patted Agam on the shoulder, then fell on the garden chair staring at the yellowish green grass refracted by the light of the lamp.

"Thank you, Dad ...."

Agam was well-mannered, he knelt down and grabbed Father Berli's hand and kissed him while asking ....

"How much dowry did you ask for?" said it.

Berli's father held Agam's hand long enough, Agam's hand felt soft, yet so cold and sweaty. Berli's father found out that Agam was really nervous.

"Actually, I don't need as much dowry as you can and should. But, if I don't mention it, I'm afraid you'll give it too much. So, just a set of prayer tools, and 9.7 grams of pure gold," replied Berli's father.

"Ba-well," said Agam with a smile.

Then unexpectedly by Agam, Berli's father, suddenly hugged his shoulder, and cried. He was confused, but he did not dare to ask again.

Agam was more confused as he also saw Uncle Jordan bowed lethargic while rubbing his eyes.

Did Uncle cry too? Wh why? What was?

Agam asked in his mind, but the joy of soon marrying Linda melted all her troubles.

After Berli's father let go of his embrace, Agam was immediately excited.

"Sir Yudha, take me to the HGC now."

"Good."

Mr. Yudha is ready.

"Gama, will you help Brother?"

"Ready."

Gama saluted.

"Emm, while Brother is close, you help him find his dowry. Can you?"

"Ready, Brother. I'll ask someone for help, hehehe. Can, right?" asked Gama while blinking his eyes.

"This time there's tolerance, it can be" said Agam.

"What are our duties, boss?" ask Maxim.

"You accompany Gama. Enda, you stay here, accompany Uncle and Dad."

"Good, boss."

Enda and Maxim nodded in unison, staring at Agam's departure with Mr. Yudha.
