The Bujang Lapuk
Silly Plan

After four days in the hospital, Za was released. Not only did his father and mother pick him up, but Fadhil also drove Za home. The man had never been absent from visiting Za during treatment. Even if only an hour and two hours were waiting for Za.

"Thank you, Nak Fadhil," Za's father said as Fadhil bade after driving Za home.

Za was a little relieved because Fadhil did not stop for long. Just bring down the luggage that is not how much, then bring in. After that he came home.

"Well, who paid for the hospital? Mas Fadhil?" ask Za to know.

"Why is that?"

"If Mas Fadhil pays, I have to turn back. Mas Fadhil is not sincere. Yesterday he helped Za actually motorbike for her reward Za must want to marry him. If he pays the hospital fee, the payoff will make no more sense, Dad."

Za immediately regretted having slipped. He has not revealed about Fadhil's coercion to marry his father or mother.

And his father just shook his head while smiling at Za's words. "You run away to whatever extent, whose name is a soul mate will definitely meet, Za," said Za's father.

Za didn't say. He left his father and went into the room. .

Staring at the calendar pictured by her school institution, Za calculated the numbers in this month. Eleven days minus four days Za was hospitalized. Seven more days Fadhil will come. Not to propose, but to marry her. No need to apply twice. Fadhil has automatically pocketed the blessing of both parents Za. And Za is getting dizzy.

Za began to think of a way, at least to delay if he could not refuse. Delaying for nothing. Because if you wait ready, maybe forever Za will never be able to say ready if you have to mate with Fadhil.

Za took back her veil and put on the head covering. He's getting out of bed. Tidy up the veil in front of the mirror before exiting the room. Although his body had yet to recover properly, yet he had to immediately execute an idea that suddenly flashed across his head. He didn't want to waste his time which wasn't much.

Arriving in front of Alya's house, Za happens to find Ghani feeding her father's pet bird.

"Mas!" call Za from outside the fence.

Ghani seems too focused on training the birds. Until Za's voice that was indeed slow was not heard by him.

"Mas Ghani! Shhhh!"

Ghani. "Eh, Za! Are you sick again?"

"When you came home."

"Just come home already your leisure," replied Ghani. "Sorry, yes. I haven't seen you back yet."

Za throbbing. Then he entered the fence, although Ghani did not allow him to enter.

"Tumbens. What's up, Za?"

"I need to be with Mas Ghani."

Ghani put the bird feed in his hand to the floor. Za's voice sounded very serious. Because usually he only meets Za who is a whiny.

"What's wrong?" ghani asked as he sat on the porch seat next to Za.

Za seemed to be thinking hard. It felt heavy to reveal his head iso to Ghani. He doubts Ghani can be invited to work together. Considering Alya's sister was a little bit gesrek.

"Mas Ghani won't help me?"

"What please?"

"Mas Ghani.want not to be my fake boyfriend."

Ghani squinted his eyes. Her laughter would explode if Za had not glared at her. "No want to. Lying is a sin, Za," he said later.

"I'm serious, Mom. Not long. At least a month," urged Za.

Ghani was really laughing looking at Za's serious face. "Because I have to lie, Za. So your boyfriend really, I want to."

"Za, if we lie or take it seriously, we will definitely be asked to marry your mother. Your mother wants you to get married quickly. Don't expect to survive even if you invite me to date a lie. I'll be shot when I want to marry you. Are you ready for your own?"

Za's brain is suddenly dead-end. All of Ghani's words make sense. He should have considered carefully before meeting Ghani.

"What's wrong, Za? You must be fooled again, huh?"

Za could only sigh. Ghani's mother was a confiding friend of Za's mother. Of course Ghani knows the rumors about Za. Moreover, Alya had found Fadhil coming home.

"Udah. Just take it, Za. Who knows he is your soul mate," said Ghani smart-ass. "If you really don't want to, just tell your mother if you want to be with Mas Ghani" the man continued with a cry.

Za throbbing. He had mistakenly come to Ghani. Not the solution he got, but his head just got dizzy. The plan was canceled because Ghani did not want to be invited to cooperate. But it is true what Ghani said. Although they only pretend to be dating, it does not take long they will be married. Like Bian and Alya for example.

"Mas, don't tell mom about that, yeah,"

Za left Ghani's house without waiting for an answer. When he got out of the fence, he was surprised by a car parked in front of his house. I don't know whose car Fadhil used to pick him up at school. And also drove him home from the hospital.

"Why did he come again?" mumbling Za. The steps are getting harder to get back home. But where should he go back if not to his parents' house.

"You've been anywhere, Za. Go and don't say." There was panic on her mother's face. Probably thought Za would run away.

Za wasn't as comfortable as it was leaving the house. His life depends on his parents. What would he eat if he wanted to run away just to avoid his match with Fadhil.

"Well, is he quiet, Za?" tajya his mother again.

"From Alya's house, ma'am."

"Well? Alya same parents are no longer home," her mother frowns.

"Mas Ghani is there" said Za, with ease, he entered the house.

"Yes. But why are you nyamperin Ghani? Not good to see the neighbors. Later you will guess you're weird nyamperin guy." Madam Rahma followed Za while continuing to ask.

"Just talk for a while" Za replied, not caring if her mother was still curious.

Za greeted Fadhil who was sitting in the living room with his father.

"Mas, how come here again?" asked Za innocently.

"Yes. Send medicine to you. The pharmacy was in line. You are tired of waiting. So I drove home and I just took the medicine."

Za smiled awkwardly. Why does Fadhil have to be so understanding as Mas Bian, anyway? his gerrick. Lest he'd been told Mas Bian more about me. It could be, because Mas Bian is now Fadhil's team.

Za was forced to sit down as her father went inside. So was his mother. The two men were compact as if having Za accompany Fadhil.

"What does Ghani need?" tanya Fadhil surprises Za.

"It's not that important."

"It doesn't matter why you have to come to his house?"

Fadhil's tone made Za dislike him. Fadhil seems to have the right to regulate it.

"Please, my. We have nothing to do, so Mas Fadhil doesn't have to know all my affairs" Za replied firmly.

"Of course you should know. You're my future wife."

"New candidate, right? It means that Mas Fadhil has no right to interfere in my affairs" said Za annoyed.

Fadhil replied to Za with a faint smile. "So you accepted being named my future wife?" Fadhil's words made Za silent.
