POV AZIERA MALIK

"Zie,I won't let you get married earlier".Remember that!!!"

He gave me that word with a serious look.It seems he is warning me not to even dream about that.

I was blank for a while to hear that.I was curious why he bring up about marriage matters now.I asked him directly rather than thinking about it much further.

"What's on earth,you are talking about this?"

"I guess you are amazed to see this marriage function.Rather than  letting you dreaming further I warned you earlier never to think about it.Achieve what you want first,then you can think about all those marriage".

"Reyhan,I can't said that are you really care about my future or just want me to accompany you for a little bit longer more".

He laughed childishly.Trying to make funny of me.I looked around the wedding hall decoration but not at him.Trying to make we look like strangers sitting on one table when the guest start to stare at us .I was undescribedly annoyed with him.Not enough of making funny of me,he added some more to boil up my anger.

"Lol,this world gonna spin just fine without you here.So stop thinking anything great about you".

Out of nowhere,Jasmine appeared on our table and sit beside my brother.She is the one dare to tease my brother.My brother will bear with her since he is not the type acting harsh on non mahram girls.(someone not bloodly related)

"Then I think Zie have nothing that stop her from getting marriage.Your brother world will be more peace if you move from here".Jasmine stare at him.She already start her game now.

I was happy when someone is on my side now.Seeing my brother's cheerishness getting low to see Jasmine, I join her game to make it more excited.Excited to annoy him more.

"Yeah,I guess I can discuss with atta(father) and amma(mother) once I'm ready".

He was shocked to hear that.He look at me blankly but I can feel his mind is criticising me unstoppably.Finally some of words spit out.

"Woah,I guess my sister much advance from my parents in idea of getting married.Are you that ready?You don't even that good making a cup of coffee,how can you think about getting married?"

Jasmine can't stand still and backing me up this time  in order to tease him more.

"Reyhan brother,this is 2017.Nothing is hard.We can use instant cofee instead of worry about it.Pour 250 ml hot water and ready".

Reyhan who was putting dishes on his plate stopped for a while and smirk at Jasmine for a seconds.Something popped up in his mind this time.

"Don't you stir.I guess you husband will choke down and never think about drinking your coffee again".

Jasmine was about to burst out and I quickly attack him instead of her.

"Hey,bro.You just can't  feel anything when you are sleepy and simply said that my coffee is terrible.Woah,I regret making coffee for you every morning".

"Is it?Am I that worst?".Reyhan start to refresh what it looks like every morning of him.

I stare at him and smile simply.He works hard.My one and only brother.I admit he is smarter than me.But he end up working as technician when he refuse to further his studies.He act like he was not interested in studying anymore.Deep inside,he wants it that much.He decides to take up some of my atta's burden so that me and my younger brother able to get a normal life.

"Hmm,you always worn out when you back every night.It's even hard for you to wake up...."

He cut off my words since he hate when someone pity on him.

"Yeah..I know...".

Jasmine silent for a moment when we are talking like she was not there.

"Woiiit,I can't get whether  you arguing or care for each other?Am I watching drama here?Just stop I felt disgusted with you guys".Just continue the drama at your home,now let's eat first".

My heart and mind seems to dragged back to this memories.The silent road and empty bus makes me don't exist there but lost into those memories too.Those was some chit chat of us one year ago.We went to Jasmine's brother wedding.Me and jasmine,Reyhan and Jasmine's brother,Syahir.We are a circle of friends.I missed my brother Reyhan so much.

I miss to make bitter coffee for him.It was true my coffee was terrible.He saying the truth.I purposely make it bitter so that he never sleep back once he wake up .A good coffee just  make him lay back on bed and finally close his eyes for some more time.

I miss every night that I will wait for him to back.Sometimes I fall asleep at the couch if its late night.It is a uneasy feeling when he don't back home yet.I can't even rid off thinking why he was so late today for sometimes.To overcome it,I decide to wait him even he warned me never to do that.Tired of advicing me he just let me do it.

I guess all this memories start to bloom in my heart because of this marriage proposal.Plus meeting Uzair just now make me realise that I really gonna married soon.

I was about to reach my home.So I start to grab all my things that on my next seat and looking outside the bus in order to press the bell.

Once I get down,I was startle to see him.Neither stepping forward or backward,I just stand there.

"What's wrong".My heart whispers.
