Anisa

"Yes Sis, it's getting late in the afternoon and it will be evening soon. I'll leave the motorbike, okay? I'll pick it up tomorrow morning while I'm going to work." said Anisa, Fauzana just nodded her head and smiled. Then Doddy and Anisa said goodbye to go home, from inside the house a middle-aged woman was seen walking hurriedly.

"Oh, why weren't the guests told to come in first, Fauzana?" asked the middle-aged woman.

"I already offered it, ma'am, but Sis Doddy said another time because it was already afternoon." Fauzana answered, it turned out that the person who came over was Mrs. Fitria, Fauzana's mother.

"Oh really, Doddy? Who is he? Anisa's guy, right?" asked Mrs. Fitria again.

"No, ma'am, she is Anisa's older sister. "I just found out that Doddy is Anisa's sister because I went to her house several times and never saw Sis Doddy there." said Fauzana then she followed her mother's steps into the house.

Unlike usual, that evening Doddy sat on the terrace after having dinner with his family while enjoying a cigarette. Even though the rain had stopped and the wind that had been blowing quite strongly this afternoon was now only a gentle breeze, it was true that the night air at that time felt cold because of the impact of the heavy rain this afternoon but for some reason Doddy seemed reluctant to leave the house like he had wandered around the night before. his friends.

Doddy, who was sitting on the terrace at that time, glanced into the house. There in the front room, only Mr. Abraham and Mrs. Hasnah were seen chatting while watching TV. Doddy stood up from his chair and walked into the room.

"Ma'am, please call Anisa, I need something!" Doddy asked Mrs. Hasnah.

"Yeah, just a moment." Mrs. Hasnah stood up from her seat then walked towards a room where her sister Anisa was.

"Anisa! Sis Doddy is calling you!" Mrs. Hasnah shouted from the front door of the room.

"Yes ma'am, just a moment!" Anisa said from inside the room. Not long after, he opened the bedroom door and met his mother in front of the bedroom door.

"What's wrong ma'am? How come Sis Doddy keeps looking for me?" Anisa looked surprised.

"I don't know, he just asked Mom to call you. There's your brother on the terrace!" said Mrs. Hasnah while pointing at Doddy.

Anisa immediately stepped onto the terrace to meet her sister,

"What's wrong Sis?" asked Anisa who was sitting next to Doddy.

"I want to ask, have you known Fauzana for a long time?" For a moment, Anisa just stared at her sister's face in silence.

"Ever since I graduated from civil service and worked in the same office as him." Anisa answered flatly.

"Oh I see, she's a good person, different from the girls I've ever met." Again, Anisa looked surprised and looked at her sister's face, as if she wanted to find out what was going on with Doddy.

"Why are you looking at me like that Anisa? There is something strange?" continued Doddy, Anisa was surprised.

"Ah, no, Sis, I'm just wondering why you're talking like that? "Usually when I talk to Brother about female friends, Sis Doddy just doesn't care." Doddy was a bit embarrassed to be accused by his sister like that.

"Sis Doddy likes Sis Fauzana, right?" Anisa continued, making Doddy only answer with a smile.

"Hmmm, I already thought why since yesterday afternoon Sis Doddy's attitude has been strange. Even tonight, Brother usually goes out with his friends, but now why not?" Doddy was increasingly cornered.

"I'm just too lazy to go outside. "My body isn't feeling well, and the heavy rain last afternoon made the air feel really cold tonight." Doddy answered casually.

"Oh, Sis Doddy just admit that Sis Doddy really likes Sis Fauzana, right?" Doddy just smiled, he was confused about what to say. Since he met Fauzana yesterday afternoon at the house, there had been a strange vibration that made him uneasy and uncertain.

Doddy has always been known to be indifferent to members of the opposite sex when it comes to feelings, most of the girls he knows only consider them friends. If we talk about Doddy's face, he can be said to be one of the most handsome young men in the district, and also in terms of the material things he has, it's no wonder he is the idol of the girls in his village and even the areas he has visited.

"I'm just in awe of him." said Doddy after taking a deep breath.

"You can hide your facial expressions, but not your heart and attitude. The change in your attitude was clearly visible when you met Sis Fauzana. "But it seems like it will be difficult to win Sis Fauzana's heart. To be honest, you're not the type of guy she wants." said Anisa, who actually really hoped that her sister would marry Fauzana and make Fauzana her life partner in the future, but because the difference in attitudes was so striking, Anisa was pessimistic that her sister would be able to win Fauzana's heart.

"What type of guy does Fauzana want?" Doddy asked, wanting to know more about Fauzana from her sister.

"A pious man, obedient to religious teachings. "Always pray five times a day, and be diligent in carrying out other acts of worship, such as fasting which will soon be carried out by Muslims in general." Anisa stopped talking and took a deep breath, clearly showing disappointment, if none of the things she said were found in her sister.

Doddy, his only sibling, is a stubborn figure, never obeying or listening to his parents' advice, let alone their words. Every night he always wanders around with his friends, coming home late at night and even early in the morning. Never mind carrying out all the acts of worship prescribed in religion, he never even prayed.

Likewise, by fasting, his older brother, whom he really loved and respected, since their life was much better, actually made his older brother increasingly distant from the substance of his creator. He spent Ramadan after Ramadan only by fasting at the beginning and the last day, whether it was legal or not, because even on the nights of Ramadan, let alone attending tarawih prayers, he still carried out his habit of wandering around incoherently and even drinking alcohol.

For a moment, Doddy saw his biological sister's eyelids, clear water dripping down her cheeks. Doddy became even more confused because Anisa suddenly started crying.

"Anisa, why are you crying suddenly? There's no feeling that my words hurt you, what's wrong?" Anisa wiped the tears from her cheeks with her palms.

"I love you, brother, I don't want you to be like this all the time. How will you be able to win Sis Fauzana's heart, if Sis Doddy never wants to change herself." said Anisa who was again unable to hold back her tears, Doddy looked pensive thinking about what her sister had just said.

Doddy immediately reached out his hand to gently stroke his sister's hair.

"Anisa, forgive me, okay? I promise that starting today I will try to change my brother's living habits, I will show you that I can become the man Fauzana wants. "Starting from this Ramadan, I will fast for a whole month, pray five times a day and try to do tarawih like everyone else." Doddy promised, one hand still stroking his hair and the other hand wiping the tears that fell down his sister's cheeks.
