Let You Sick: Husband Not Considered
Episode 11: The Taste of Being Left Behind
All he could do was watch and help the procession until the man who had touched his heart became the husband of another.
The assumption of sister felt by the two of them is not without reason. It was because of Qadira's attention to Rafiq that exceeded anything, even his attention to himself. Not because he was the son of his master, but there was a different taste he wanted to show the man.
The sense arises from the treatment of him, the treatment wants to have and keep a man who is not his mahram. A man who can move his heart to want to be his companion. But until now that feeling, just stop at the extent of wanting it.
Once said from the lips of Qadirah, but the man's response only considers himself as his sister and no more than that. That made her retreat slowly even though she felt that the man also liked her.
And Samira's feelings are true. In his room, Rafiq was thinking about Qadirah. The woman who thinks is very good to him, the woman who is very concerned about him even though only small things are noticed by him. So why did he not make Qadira his partner?. Is the attention that Qadirah has given not qualified enough for Rafiq to make him his companion.
"What happened to me?, why did the woman come at such an inopportune time. Or maybe...this is the right time, which God gave me to choose? I don't know..."

Elsewhere, in his room. The woman is still thinking whether the decision she made was right or ..., before the sacred day took place she thought she had to strengthen her heart before she regretted it in the end.
"Neng, my father asked Neng to meet him in the family room" said bi Naroh who is now right at the door of Samira's room.
Hartono today did not go to his office because of the pain he suffered relapsing. This opportunity he also used to gather with his son and wife to discuss the application to be held next week, as well as the info he got from Musabir
"Good bi" said Samira from inside her room. And then bi Naroh passed from there.
"Dad heard from Rafiq's brother next week, Wednesday they will come to propose. Dad just reminds you to strengthen your heart. Do not make father embarrassed" said Hartono, who is now his son and wife are in front of him.
"Aren't you going too fast?. "next week Samira has to take the exam" asked Samira who felt the matchmaking her family did so quickly.
"You want to wait until when?, next week after the application, take care of your college leave immediately" Pinta Hartono.
"Well Dad" said Samirah without denying Hartono's prison earlier.

In another house, inside the room of the woman who was able to disturb Rafiq's current mind.
"Let this taste settle forever, let it sit until it may be replaced by a new taste, or perhaps the same taste in a different person"
"Why is he married now, I hope that after my return he has strengthened his heart to Sesil. The woman Hanna spoke of. Why is it that when I'm in this house again, she's married. I won't hold back from looking at her with another woman"
"Lord, at least send me a protector, so that I can no longer continue to expect it. Right now I only depend on his mother and father to be my protector. These are the ones I can rely on. But I don't know when I'm waiting for my protector?. I. I just want him to know that I just want him"
GECK! GECK! GECK!
The sound of the door made Qadirah rush to stand from his place earlier, after performing the morning prayer still sitting there thinking of the man, the man from his master.
"Qadirah.. Can you come in, son?" Ask Hanna from outside the room. Not opening the door directly, he was still waiting for approval from Qadira for it. Even though he considered her a child. But somehow he did not dare to do the same with his son.
"Mom didn't hear an answer to my question yesterday. Is there any reason you just came to mom's house again?. Mother is always waiting for you." Hanna asked after entering and sitting on the bed with Qadirah.
Qadira also explained everything that had happened to him after leaving this house. And Hanna gave him a hug as if giving him strength.
"Let's help mom prepare breakfast" Hanna asked shortly after letting Qadirah shed her tears until Qadirah was satisfied.
"Good ma'am" Qadirah said afterwards.
He and Hanna head to the kitchen. There they saw Aisyah preparing some bread for the family's breakfast later.
"There's still something Ayesha needs to prepare?"
"Oh yes ma'am, Aisyah hasn't made her chicken porridge yet". Answer Aisha.
Hanna was very familiar with what Aisyah could do right now, she also did not want Aisyah to do anything, to prevent herself from being exhausted. Hanna just wants her mother and her second-in-law to be healthy.
"Let mother and Qadirah make it, you just sit first" the mother's pinta that Aisyah immediately obeyed.
After the breakfast dishes were all finished and arranged neatly on the table, one by one the family members began to arrive in the room and occupy their respective seats, not least Qadirah. He was sitting next to her Aisyah.
"How about you Rafiq, ready next week for a proposal?. Wednesday we are there. Set your heart, for there is no other choice but to marry after that day. I don't want to hear the word but after." Father opened the subject this morning.
"Let this taste stay in the heart for a long time" Qadira told himself after hearing everything the man's father said because he felt there was no hope.
"Okay Dad" replied Rafiq
"Musabir, you and your wife help me prepare everything for the proposal later" Adnan's request, which now leads to his eyes on his first child.
"Good dad"
"And for you Rafiq besides mental, prepare his application ring. Don't forget. That's why yamg peling matters. Choose as you please. Or at least take your mother. Usually women understand the most about choosing" said Adnan again set his sights on Rafiq.
After a busy breakfast from the day before, the family members left the room one by one according to their own eyes this morning. Adnan and Rafiq chose to drive along with the same car to the office. The only ones left were Qadirah and Hanna and bi Ratih
"Son... Can you accompany Rafiq to choose his engagement ring?. I can't accompany her" asked Hanna without explaining why,
"Well ma'am" Qadirah answered, and then Hanna passed from there.
