Part 28
Dora was just about to answer, when suddenly her cellphone was snatched by Bayu who immediately cut off the call from Azzam. Then put Dora's phone on the dashboard of the car without speaking. His gaze was just straight ahead with his jaw clenched. Bayu was holding back his anger and Dora knew it.
"Sorry!" he said softly. Bayu glanced at it and then focused on looking ahead again. "I'm sorry, Dora!" said Dora again. Bayu pulled the car over again, took a deep breath and then turned to Dora.
"Sorry for what?" asked Bayu. Dora did not answer because she was confused about what to answer. "Brother can I ask?" asked Bayu again. "Ask what?"
"Why lately Dora seems to be avoiding my brother, doesn't reply to my chats, answers the phone as necessary. Why?" asked Bayu. Dora looked down and didn't answer.
"And one more thing, why lie to your brother if Dora is dating Azzam? Dora is lying, right?" asked Bayu again.
"Dora never said that Dora likes and is dating Azzam. Brother himself drew conclusions yesterday." Dora replied.
"So who made Dora fall in love?"
"Why do you want to know that?" Poo or jealous?" This time, Bayu, who was silent, could not answer.
"You can't answer, right, that's all right. It's better to start the car again. Dora is sleepy and wants to get home quickly."
"Jealous brother!" answered Bayu quickly. Dora stared in disbelief. Bayu grabbed Dora's hands, brought them to his chest and held them tightly.
"Because Ra's jealous brother, even from the first Dora asked if you wanted to answer jealous brother! Because you liked and fell in love from the first time we met in the canteen." Dora withdrew her hand, then looked down at the floor of the car.
"Next week, I will take my parents to Dora's house." Connect Bayu again. "Because you will propose to Dora to be your wife!" "Hah!"
"Ra, why are you silent. Dora angry?" asked Bayu when Dora had been silent all this time.
"Nope," replied Dora.
"Then why? Dora refuses brother's proposal? It's okay, Ra, then."
"Not bang, but bang Malik," Dora said quietly.
"Malik why? Are you still expecting him? Didn't Dora say yesterday that she doesn't want to accept her anymore?" Dora looked at Bayu who looked worried waiting for his answer.
"Brother, yes, for so many years you have been able to keep your love, why has it turned so impatient and jealous?"
"Hehehe, because brother is tired of keeping feelings in silence, Ra," said Bayu while grinning.
"What Dora means is that you should try to contact Malik first. Later, I'll let Dora speak nicely. So that your friendship doesn't break," explained Dora.
"The number is not active, Ra, this afternoon before I followed you, I tried it."
"You know where the village is, right? Why don't you go there, ask his parents, how come they don't know how their child is now."
"You're right, Ra, I'll take Wawan there tomorrow."

"Hmm, why is this mama's child smiling to himself from earlier, huh?" Mom asked Dora.
"Ugh mom, don't worry about it."
"What's the good news? Please share!" asked her mother again.
"Hmm Ma, what if someone wants to propose to Dora as his wife Ma?" Dora asked carefully.
"What do you mean?"
"Bang Bayu Ma, next week he wants to come here with his parents to propose to Dora."
"Dora, what do you want or not, instead of going out with his best friend, Malik. How will their friendship be?" Mom asked while stroking Dora's long hair.
"Dora is starting to fall in love with Bayu Ma, and Dora wants to marry him. Regarding Malik, today's plan is that Bayu will go to his village to find information about Malik."
"If mom and dad agree, Ra, even when we came home from the inauguration of Bayu's office yesterday. We had time to assume that you are the one that Bayu likes. It's true, isn't it?"
"So what about Mom?" asked Dora.
"What's the matter, did you tell Bayu that mom and dad are ready to accept their parents' arrival at any time!"
"Thank you Ma, Dora is very happy," said Dora, hugging her mother.

Meanwhile, far away in a village. "Are you sure this is Wan's house?" asked Bayu doubtfully.
"Earlier, the mother in the shop pointed me here, right?"
Bayu nodded, with hesitant steps Bayu entered the very beautiful courtyard of the house. There is no leaf litter scattered even though there are many trees growing in the yard. "Assalamualaikum!"
"Waalaikumsalam," answered someone from inside. The door opened and a teenage girl appeared still in her school uniform.
"Who are you looking for?" he asked.
"Mother is on deck, we are Malik's friends. Want to talk a little!" replied Bayu.
"Wait a minute, bro, just sit there first!" While pointing at an amben on the terrace of the house. The teenage girl entered the house, not long after a middle-aged woman appeared who introduced herself as Malik's mother.
"I'm Bayu ma'am, Malik's best friend and this is Wawan's friend too," Bayu introduced himself to Malik's mother.
"Oh, this is Bayu, Malik talks a lot about you," said Malik's mother.
"Oh yes, but I have lost contact with Malik for 3 months. Can you help me contact him?"
"That's actually... Wait a minute huh!" The mother hung up her sentence, then went inside. Soon he came back out and invited us both to go inside.
Bayu thought the mother wanted to chat in the living room, but apparently not. They continued through the living room to a room. Bayu and Wawan were invited to enter, and they were really surprised to see the view on the bed. A man was lying weakly and that man was Malik.
"Malik, you----?" Bayu could not finish his speech. He hugged Malik, who could only lie down, not feeling the tears running down Bayu's cheeks. He quickly wiped it off before he lifted his face.
