The next morning, Fadil acted as usual. It was as if last night was just a dream that had no meaning at all. Today, Fadil doesn't have an important plan. He just wanted to relax at home, while accompanying the mother chatting with some guests who came. Ulil who still feels confused with Fadil, that morning has come to visit his best friend's house.


'' Assalamualaikum'' said Ulil after knocking on the door.


'' Wa'alaikumsalaam.. Lil, come on in!'' exclaimed Zaenab's mother who happened to be in the guest room.


'' There is no madam?'' asked Ulil who went straight in and shook hands with him.


'' There, that! again in his room. When did Lil come? I think mom just saw!'' said Zaenab's mother.


'' Mom, I just got home yesterday afternoon. You see, get overtime tasks from the company. So it can not go home faster.'' explained Ulil then sat on the sofa.


'' Lil, haven't had breakfast yet?'' ask Fadil out of his room.


'' Udah mas Fadil, just before here.'' he replied while showing a slightly distended stomach.


Fadil smiled looking at Ulil. He sat with her in the guest room.


'' By the way, where do you work Lil? it could be too late!'' ask Fadil.


'' Anu mas Fadil, I work at Hotel Puri Indah Garden, part of COTD.'' Ulyl while grinning.


'' Lho, is there really a Lil job like that? I think I just heard!''


'' There is Fadil! that you mean, open the car door and markir, he..''


'' Lil.. Lil, you are! it has never changed since before. I like to joke.''


'' Yes, because Fadil used to tell me to be a parking attendant! now it's even real.''


When Ulil said that he worked at the Puri Indah Garden hotel, Fadil seemed to remember something. However, he did not proceed to investigate it any deeper. Dreet.dreet..Fadil mobile phone vibrates. Seen on the screen of the phone, a VC call from someone.


'' Hello, Assalamualaikum ma!'' greet Fadil after finding out that the one who was contacting him was Sintya.


'' Wa'alaikumsalaam warahmatullah, where are you again?'' ask Sintya to Fadil.


'' Now at home ma. Most unfortunate little later, Fadil want to go to his house kang Zul. Make it a point when he returns to the pesantren.''


'' Oh yes, my mom is in Jakarta?'' Fadil asked back.


'' I'm from semalem dear. It's mom and everything else at home, again at breakfast. Have you had breakfast yet?'' syntya said, while pointing her cellphone camera at the person there.


Andika, Arya Wijaya, and also Nadia, waved their hands to the camera greeting Fadil. Fadil smiled and returned the wave of their hands.


'' Fadil, what about your marriage? have you talked to the Tiara family?'' Sintya could not wait for the news.


'' Alhamdulillah ma, it's all gone. We also yesterday had a ring and clothes for the wedding later.''


'' Oh, thank goodness then. So when's his H day? mama can't wait to see you guys hanging out at the pelaminan.''


'' God willing, run out of this hajj eid ma.'' said Fadil smiling.


'' How long is it still? kirain mama next weeks so!''


'' Ma, more or less only two months away, not long. It all takes time to prepare.''


'' Yes baby! but mama feels impatient, want to quickly get close to the prospective mama.'''s ghost.''


'' Patience dong ma. God willing won't run the chased mountain. Oh yes, yes, yes first! fadil has a guest again! not good if later didiemin. Afraid of stale ma!'' said Fadil while grinning to glance at Ulil.


Ulil who had been listening to Fadil's chat, he became sullen. In his heart he was upset. Then he softly said:


'' Ish mas Fadil, what is this cake? can be stale if it continues to be didiemin.'' said Ulil with his face bent.


Sontak Fadil so chuckled at Ulil's behavior like that. He was most pleased, if his friend was already putting on a frown so. It was like a double strike when fishing. Across the phone, Sintya, who saw Fadil chuckling happily, suspiciously asked:


'' Who's the guest, Tiara?''


'' No ma, this is a friend of Fadil.'' Fadil replied still chuckling.


'' What girl is a guy?'' syntya's getting suspicious.


'' Boy ma, fadil''''s best friend.''


'' oh. kirain chick. Just watch out! if you are still close to another girl!'' mencam Sintya is worried that Fadil is cheating on Tiara.


'' No ma, where there is such a Fadil!'' exclaim Fadil who saw Sintya's worries.


'' Yes! please take good care of yourself, as well as the future mother-in-law. Never make her sad! if you dare like that, just prepare to receive punishment from mama!'' syntya said then gave a kiss of affection to Fadil in front of his cellphone camera.


'' Yes yes, yes! very fierce, like his former candidate.'' muttered Fadil slowly, then smiled back at the kiss from Sintya.


'' What? what was that talking about?'' syntya said that was not so clear, hearing the grunts of Fadil.


'' No ma, Fadil did not say anything kok.''the answer then said hello to Sintya.


As people say, if you look carefully. The person who will be our soul mate, either in terms of appearance or nature and character. Then there will be similarities with ourselves or with our family. Just like Tiara who not only has a face similar to Susi Wijaya Sintya's mother, but also a little fierce like Sintya.


As Fadil closes the call, Zaenab's mother appears from within. He had seen and heard Fadil's conversation with Sintya. Gently, Zaenab's mother advised Fadil.


'' Son, after all, Sintya is also your mother. No matter what a mother, she always tries to give the best for her children. So, as long as not to worship Allah, you must follow the advice and also keep the courtesy towards him.'' said Zaenab's mother gave advice to Fadil.


After chatting for a while, Fadil invited Ulil to go to Zul's house. After saying goodbye to his mother, Fadil and Ulil left in his car. When Ulil saw the license plate of the car, he seemed to remember something.


'' You know why Lil, come on in! how come it's even dumb?'' exclaim Fadil to Ulil who is still in front of the car.


'' Lil, please don't make my stomach hurt again! please just for today! let me take a break from laughing due to your behavior patterns. Please!'' said Fadil then honked his car horn.


When Ulil was contemplating and remembering something, he was surprised. The shock of Ulil, even it makes Fadil immediately chuckle. Seeing Fadil who chuckled, Ulil actually increasingly put up his annoyed face. And on the contrary, the more face Ulil like that, then Fadil can no longer hold the amused feeling in his heart.


'' What is this Fadil doing? it's so nice to piss people off!'' ulil said after entering and sitting next to the steering wheel.


'' Eit, it's so good for Lil! it's not just you who like to make me sprain. Look at! I came out with tears because I laughed at your behavior, replied Fadil while wiping his tears with a handkerchief.


Although Ulil was annoyed with Fadil, but he could not be angry with him. He was correct with Fadil's attitude. The more he showed annoyance to her, then Fadil would never consider himself angry. Instead Fadil will increasingly consider himself to be funny. Therefore, Ulil was most confused. How to show anger to Fadil.


'' Lil..!, don't keep that funny face. I couldn't stand her squirming. Do you want me to die because I saw your face like that?'' Fadil while patting Ulil's shoulder slowly.


Hearing Fadil speak of death, Ulil's heart was filled. He could still feel, how his heart could not accept the reality when his best friend Fadil died some time ago. His sense of regret instantly disappeared, and changed into a fear of losing his best friend.


'' Yes, yes, I give up the same as Fadil. I can at least and do not know, how to let Fadil know, when it is time I was angry with Fadil.''


'' Well then, you don't have to be mad at me Lil! After all, there is no point in getting angry. Make you later get old fast kayak wa' Uban. You want?'' fadil Goda.


'' Ish, that's delicious! when I want to be compared to wa' Uban. Yes it is much different time mas.''


'' Yes the difference is far away, but it looks close, replied Fadil then chuckled.


'' That is to say, how close does it look?'' Ulil.


'' Yes it is, your body right! same with wa' Uban, both men mean he.'' Fadil tease Ulil.


'' This Haish mas Fadil, is as good as anything. If that's the hell! everyone knows Fadil.mas Fadil. There are - there are these Fadil mas.'' said Ulil amused by the joke Fadil.


'' Yes! we're leaving now!'' bring Fadil.


'' Okay mas Fadil. Let's go!'' replied Ulil excitedly.


Fadil then stepped on the gas pedal of his car. Slowly, the car moved from Fadil's house to Zul's residence. While passing by Tiara's house, she sees Tiara in the room with her best friend Rina. Fadilpun immediately stopped the speed of his car.


'' Tin.''


Fadil honks the car horn and opens the windshield. Tiara who saw Fadil, immediately went towards him along with Rina. When they got near the car, Fadil said:


'' Tiara, I want to go to kang Zul's house. You want to come?''


'' How Emm! Rin, would you like to stop?'' tiara asked Rina.


'' Yes, it is up to you, Tiara, I'm scared.'' replied Rina.


'' Actually, yes, it can be too. But, I haven't spoken to father and mother.'' said Tiara.


'' Yes, let's go there! should I ask their permission?'' Fadil.


'' I don't think it should be A, let Tiara talk to them.''


'' Yes, I've been waiting here?'' fadil said with a smile to Tiara.


Seeing Fadil's meaningful smile towards Tiara, Rina who was next to Tiara became mistaken. He already knew, that the young man who was talking to Tiara was Fadil with Alan's body. However, Fadil's current appearance, plus the first time he saw the face closely, made him feel groggy in front of Fadil.


'' Rin, how are you? alright!'' greet Fadil to Rina.


'' Alhamdulillah, well mas.'' replied Rina then immediately lowered her head.


When Fadil was still with her former body, Rina herself was one of the girls who liked Fadil. However, because Fadil had chosen Tiara, Rinapun could only support Tiara who felt more worthy of Fadil. Just as Ulil did to Tiara.


Shortly thereafter, Tiara entered the house. He went out with his mother. Seeing Bu Lilis get out, Fadil then got out of his car and walked towards Bu Lilis. Ulil who had not had time to visit the house of Tiara, he also came down and greeted Miss Lilis.


'' Oh, boy Ulil! when's come? I heard, you went to Jakarta.'' asked Bu Lilis surprised to see the presence of Ulil.


'' Mom, I just arrived yesterday afternoon. Minal 'aidin wal Faidzin bu, Tiara, Rina.'' said Ulil and greeted them.


Tiara cupped her palms together in front of her chest, as Ulil would invite her to shake hands. Ulil immediately understood what Tiara was doing.


'' So where are you going?'' ask Miss Lilis without further ado.


'' Oh this ma'am, we actually just want to go to the house of kang Zul, want to visit there. At the same time want to ask kang Zul, when he returned to the pesantren.'' said Fadil explained.


'' Oh, Zul the other day brought me here?'' ask Bu Lilis.


'' Yes ma'am.'' replied Fadil and Tiara simultaneously.


Seeing how her compa Tiara and Fadil answered the question from Bu Lilis, they all smiled looking at the two. Tiara immediately lowered her head, while Fadil smiled wrongly. Looking at the two of them like that, Miss Lilis only understood.


'' Yes already, if you want to go please!, but be careful and go home do not get to the afternoon.'' said Miss Lilis let them all.
