《 FACE BEHIND VEIL 》

PART5 TEMPORARY FAREWELL

Arriving one morning that Faiz and his family have been waiting for, today is a very Faiz moment later than ever, after a long time struggling in the country of people, without family, and so on, without a brother, Faiz lived in Cairo alone at the beginning before Faiz had many friends.

In the dormitory where Faiz was staying, he was very busy to immediately prepare to go to the event venue, while his family was busy preparing at his inn, they were forced to come apart, separately, because Faiz had no time to pick them up.

The phone suddenly rang loudly, one call came in and the abi immediately picked it up.

" Assalamu'alaikum bi...?? " alin said on a phone call.

" Alin...?? " ask abi.

" Yes bi, this is Alin." she replied.

" Thank God, how's Alin doing...?? " ask abi back.

" Alhamdulillah bi, Alin here is fine, people here are no less friendly with people in Indonesia." replied Alinka to her.

" Thank God son, Abi was happy to hear it. Hopefully you can follow your brother Faiz ya fast graduation and soon return to Indonesia. "said abi happy.

" abb... Alin had just entered college here, the time had to graduate, still a long journey bi, not yet started, right later after the new graduation brother of his new school year began. " sahut Alinka with a slight smile.

" Once we've all missed you dearly, let alone your sister, not to mention your brother is almost angry with abi, because he could not meet you. " abi said a little story to his adopted daughter.

" Mashayallah bi to such an extent. insyaallah if Allah has allowed us to meet again yak. " replied Alinka.

" Continue now you can come to the graduation ceremony sister?? Not dear if you do not come, Faiz can really angry abi. "continue to ask abi on her.

" Emh. abi before his Alin apologized, because Alin was not given permission to attend the event, as his Alin could not attend for now. " alinka replied while apologizing.

Abi was silent and did not say a word.

" Bi.. abi...?? " call Alinka 'cause she didn't hear Abi's voice back.

" How did Faiz feel today, should he be happy in this historic moment son, but he should accept the fact that his own sister could not attend his special moment. " abi said sadly.

" Sorry bi... Alin had tried to ask permission from the lecturer but still Alin did not get permission bi. " replied Alinka.

" you are better now greet your sister and your umi, they must miss you very much. "sahut abi while giving her mobile phone to Umi.

" Assalamu'alaikum son. umi kangen." Umi's heart while shedding tears.

" Wa'alaikumussalam's... The same Umi Alin also miss the same umi, umi and what family?? " answer and ask Alin.

" Alhamdulillah umi good son, but your sister keeps asking about yourself, umi until run out of words to answer let alone to them when they always ask about you. "wanted umi.

" Where are they now mi...?? " ask Alinka.

" There, they're ready to go to the show again" replied Umi.

" Who is mi...?? " ask Zainab who arrived passing in front of Umi.

" Brother Alin nak." replied Umi to Zainab.

" Brother Alin... brother...!!! Zain kangen, when can I meet. "sontak suhut Zainab while grabbing a cell phone from the grasp of umi.

" Zainab... What do you say deck,,?? God willing, we meet quickly." said Alinka.

" We're in Cairo, why can't we see what's wrong, brother...?? " ask Zainab sadly.

" Not yet dear." replied Alinka.

" Where is Salma with Fitria...?? " ask Alinka back.

" They have a brother." replied Zainab.

Then Zainab called her two sisters.

" Hello brother Alin." sahut Salma and Fitria.

" Hey baby...!!! " alinka said so happy to hear the voices of her family members.

" Sister today we meet yah...!!! " sahut Salma and Fitria.

" God willing, dear. if Allah allows." replied Alinka.

" We miss our sister, don't you miss us?? " ask Salma and Fitria.

" Honestly big sister misses a lot, but how else, sister still has a lot of business here dear." replied Alinka sounding sad.

" Can't you just delay for a moment, brother?? " ask them.

" I'm sorry dear. "that's all Alinka can say to her two sisters.

" So now you can not attend the graduation event kak Faiz kak?? " tanya Zainab and the phone was taken over by Zainab again.

" I'm sorry brother Zain." said Alinka sadly.

" Can't do this, brother...?? " ask Zainab.

" It's Zain, but my brother still does not get permission from the lecturer." replied Alinka.

Zainab was immediately silent and gave the phone back to Umi, and she entered the room.

" Zayn... Zain. "call Alinka.

" Like his brother angry son, this is the moment he was waiting for by his start while still from home." Umi's reply told Zainab's state of disappointment with Alinka.

" Zainab is angry, is Zainab disappointed with Alin?? " ask Alinka sadly.

" Want how else na, their expectations do not match what they want." replied Umi.

Alinka had shed her tears, but she would try to persuade Zainab not to be angry again at him.

After a few moments of conversation with Alinka, then the family of Fakhry's ustad was immediately to the place of Faiz's graduation ceremony, because he had waited a long time there.

" abb... Umi... !!! " said Faiz from a distance, after seeing his family arrive at that place.

Then Faiz immediately approached the parents with his younger brother.

" She... !!! " sahut abi while looking at Faiz who has been wearing a complete graduation shirt and his toga.

" Dashing her you son. " said Umi while stroking her face.

" Sister..what a handsome man with your clothes this brother. "said Salma and Fitria.

" Alin where's bi... mi... ?? " ask Faiz.

Abi and Umi did not have the heart to deliver this bad news to him.

But...

" He will not come here" said Zainab while surly.

" What does...?? " ask Faiz in wonder.

" Yes he will not be present to important events for the sake of his busy life, he has changed brother, just a moment he just stayed here" said Zainab upset.

" Yes...!!! " sahut umi told Zainab to shut up.

" Unlike that, son, who was his before, Alin had tried to ask permission from his lecturer, but alin unfortunately still could not get permission from his lecturer son. " obviously umi while calming Faiz.

And Faiz was silent and disappointed in Alinka's attitude.

" It's mi, maybe before Faiz is not so valuable to Alin." said Faiz while moving into the event building.

" Faiz. son. that's not what Alin means.. Understand the circumstances, son. "said Umi while chasing Faiz.

" It's mi, let Faiz's feeling calm first, it's natural that he's a little disappointed, but if he's an adult he'll understand his own really, really, let's better get inside the building soon because soon the show will start. " said abi while hugging Umi and invite her into the building along with her 3 daughters.

Not long after the show started.

In addition, in a different place Alinka is busy preparing her surprise for Faiz, he had prepared a large bouquet of flowers along with gifts and other knick knacks to enliven the important moment, then Alinka was dressed so special just for today.

With Shema's new best friend, they immediately headed to the event building and waited outside the building, intentionally, because if the event is over, the graduates will come out to the front door, and it would cross the invited guests who could not enter the building, then across the front yard of the building, and that was the strategic place they chose to succeed his surprise for Faiz.

For several hours waiting, the end of the event was finished, and when the main door of the building was opened and the graduates came out, along with the nuclear family who can accompany him in the building to go to the front yard.

Alinka and Shema prepared to unfurl the banner they had prepared earlier, while carrying a bouquet of flowers and other gifts.

They waited a long time, and at the end of his Alinka saw the figure of Faiz from a distance, he did not immediately call him after Faiz's steps drew closer and he called Faiz while waving his hand.

" Sister Faiz... Brother Faiz... The...!!! " said Alinka while waving her hand.

Then Salma was the first to see the wave of Alinka's hand, and to hear his voice.

Then Alinka stretched out her arms, hugging Salma as Salma approached her.

" Salma kangen brother. said her brother will not be present here. "saw Salma while hugging Alinka tightly.

Unable to say a word, Alinka could only smile while hugging Salma.

Then the views of Faiz, Zainab abi and Umi were immediately directed towards Alinka.

Fitria immediately ran after Salma who was hugging Alinka, followed by abi and umi.

" End of it you can attend too son...!!! " sahut abi and umi.

" Look at Faiz and Zainab, a little disappointed in your decision yesterday, there go persuade them not to be angry again at you" said Umi and abi.

Alinka nodded her head and immediately approached Zainab and Faiz who were stopped far from the direction Alinka stood.

" Yes...!!! " sahut Alinka wanted to embrace Zainab.

But Zainab threw away her face.

" I'm sorry big brother, this is just a surprise" said Alinka trying to explain everything.

Zainab did not look at Alinka.

" Zain is disappointed with brother.pardon brother yes...!!! " alinka said, pleading with Zainab.

" Here look into the eyes of brother Zain first, if brother lies, brother will not dare to go to Faiz and look into your eyes." explained Alinka while holding both hands Zainab.

Then Alinka immediately hugged Zainab and said.

" If your actions don't make you forgive your sister, let your sister not be considered a member of your family again" Alinka said, shedding tears.

And Zainab finally withered after seeing the tears of Alinka.

" I'm just afraid of losing the figure of Alin's brother whom Zain already considers to be Zain's own brother" Zainab said, hugging Alinka.

And at the end of it they embraced each other and cried.

Then Faiz turned to look at Alinka, suddenly feeling full, and came to Alinka while saying..

" Thank you for the surprise of the deck. " said Faiz while staring at him.

Then Alinka looked back at Faiz while giving a bouquet of flowers that he had brought specifically for his brother.

" Congratulation yes bang, barakallah for his knowledge may be useful and can be a successor to abi." said Alinka while shedding her tears and a little smile.

Faiz received the bouquet and stroked his head with a smile.

Conscious of Faiz as only a foster sister for Alinka, and she cannot embrace Alinka as warmly as she can hug her own younger sibling, warmly, although there was no more feeling in their hearts, but they knew there was a limit between them.

" Alin ready this all together Shema bang from yesterday, because Alin yesterday asked permission in advance on the dukturoh and thank God he gave his permission, because he gave his permission, then Alin immediately prepared everything for his brother. " said Alinka while smiling a little relieved.

" Is this banner included?? " ask Faiz.

Alinka nodded with a smile.

" As if you want the promotion of the opening of a new store aja you deck, brother until made a banner loh." said Faiz while laughing at the silliness of Alinka.

" Maybe I mean Alin, afraid you don't see him, if he only makes a small cut in his hand." said Abi with a laugh.

" ha... Yes, yes bi. " replied Faiz while laughing and his eyes were always on the figure of Alinka.

This is the first time he can see Alinka's figure directly in front of his own eyes.

" How about Iz, after seeing your foster sister directly...?? " ask umi.

" Sholihah mi, and more than Faiz's expectations that Faiz had thought." Faiz replied judging Alinka's figure.

" Well, how did you think Alin was?? " ask Alinka.

" Yeah... That's...!!! " answered Faiz with a smile.

" That's how my brother, who obviously dong. "sahut Alinka urged.

And Faiz was just smiling looking at the behavior and facial expression of Alinka who was curious and felt kepo.

" That's the attitude of Faiz kak, his jail began to fall, like to make people curious without answers. "said Zainab while continuing to hug Alinka.

Again, Faiz was laughing at the attitude of each of his different sisters.

After that, they went straight to the place to eat to just celebrate the happy moment and enjoy quality time with his family.

At the restaurant where they eat, they relax and talk to each other to release longing, and before the end they will be separated again between distance and time.

After Faiz got his S1 title, did not make him quickly able to mukim and continue his abi pesantren in the country, but there is still an S2 title that Faiz must achieve, he said, while steadying themselves, to seek the companion life of the angel of the paradise of his next world.

Because the time of the graduate lecture was very short, then Abi asked Faiz not to linger long to always be alone,, because abi realized the age of abi is getting older and he wants to immediately get a son-in-law and grandchild from his eldest son. And Faiz also responded to the request of the abi that after winning the title S2 Faiz will soon be his goodwill. Although he does not know who he will stop, but Faiz only handed it to the creator, because he is sure, the choice of the creator will never be wrong, because he believes, the choice of the creator will never be wrong, and will be the best for his life.

" Iz.. after this pesan abi, you may continue your graduate studies here, but abi also asked, do not feel at home for long by yourself yak nak...!!! Because you know, the more days abi will grow older, abi very bestows all hope abi on you, because you are the backbone of our family later." Say abi to her.

Faiz nodded his head with a smile.

" So which candidate is this man?? " ask Zainab on a whim.

" There is no deck, do not fad, mentang mentang you already have Farid's palace" replied Faiz.

" It's just a sewot, it's a singles effect for too long. "said Zainab teases Faiz.

" Maybe if Faiz does not visit find a candidate, we can help find a bi for Faiz to choose. "sahut umi.

" What does she mean mi...?? In matchmaking...?? " ask Faiz.

Umi just winks her eyes and smiles at her.

" No, as long as Faiz can find his own, Faiz does not want to be matched" Faiz replied.

In addition, Alinka can only listen to the conversation of his family.

" Don't want to be unwilling Kak, what if Farid has been talking about Zain, it's impossible Zain stepin 2 Zain's brother at once" said Zainab.

Alinka and Faiz looked at each other...

" Yes already if you want to marry first please, do not think brother. "sahut Alinka and Faiz compact.

Suddenly Alinka and Faiz looked at each other again, while closing their mouths, because they had accidentally talked like a compakan.

" How can you be with the hell." said Zainab while laughing.

" Aaahh... code of nature nih bi. mi. "sahut Shema participated in the excitement of the conversation.

" It just happens to be. " said Alinka and Faiz compact again.

" Tuh kan together again. "sahut Zainab sambol laugh.

And finally all can laugh off seeing the wrong behavior of Alinka and Faiz at that time.

Evening was approaching, it did not feel that time was passing so quickly, and the time Alinka and Shema had to return to the dormitory on time.

With all his family members including Faiz, Alinka arrived at the Dormitory on time.

" amma... Abi.. thank you for today, Alin is happy, has been able to meet umi, abi and sister, especially met brother Faiz for the first time, his first time, his brother, hopefully next time we can get together like this again" said Alinka before entering the dormitory.

" Yes the same son, good good here yes, take care of health, and immediately go home with good news. " answer umi while stroking Alinka's face that was neatly covered by her veil of pride.

" God willing Umi, always doain Alin the best yes, the prayers of umi and abi are always the main hope of Alin in living life" said Alinka again.

" Later brother, often deh tengokin you do not papa right deck?? " ask Faiz.

" Hem.. if you get permission from the lecturer insyaallah no papa, thank you before him." replied Alinka.

" Thank you also for the surprise, don't be sad yes, you are not alone there is still a brother, maybe for a while brother will go home first to Indonesia, Indonesia, but after that brother will come back here again to finish college S2 brother. " explained Faiz.

" Yes brother.. thank you, hopefully the graduate lecture smoothly yes.." said Alinka while praying for Faiz.

" When we return to the inn first son. "sahut abi.

" Yes bi. please. " replied Alinka.

" See you again at another time ya ade ade. "said Alinka while waving her hand, as they left Alinka.

It's finished today's activities, which are quite draining of their energy and emotions, and now the time of Shema and Alinka was resting quietly in the dormitory, while waiting for tomorrow and the lecture activities begin.
