《 FACE BEHIND VEIL 》

A Story In The Pyramids Part1

Long story short after a year Alinka studied in Egypt, many stories and trips that Alinka had gone through with Shema best friend, his best friend, until the fall wake up the story of his struggle to reach his ideals and now his romance story will soon begin, because now there is a male figure from Egypt the son of a kyai, because there is a boy from Egypt, who is watching every second of Alinka's activity and busyness. He was the first person in the country to become interested in the veiled woman who was not as beautiful as the beautiful Egyptian native woman who was above average, but strangely he still admires Alinka with all her simplicity.

"Lin. we have been in college for quite a long time and the time will certainly not feel quickly passed, you have no intention before your lecture here ends, he said, want to find the original partner of people here or our generation, do not mind the heck you got there??" shema asked as they walked around on holidays, to the historic sites in the city.

"Focus on learning first Shema, when I want to go to college while looking for a mate." Answer Alinka simple.

"Finding knowledge is indeed an obligation, but if suddenly you in the near future dapet mate, it's a bonus from God his name." said Shema ridiculous.

"Apaan deh Shema, start kumat ya, you ngawur ni.." said Alinka while laughing.

"Don't worry Lin... I'm serious." replied Shema.

"Just accept it yes, may your prayer be the best for me" said Alinka kalem.

Then Shema hugged Alinka while continuing to walk down the places that they would visit.

"Lin. actually, there have been people who really admire you." Shema.

"Huh.... who...??" ask Alinka confused.

"You know about Maher al hadr..?? Yes the husband of ustadzah Jamilah our lecturer." said Shema.

"Tau. he is a very influential person in this city right." replied Alinka.

"Well, they had a single son named Amer al-Hadr." Shema continued.

"Then what does this have to do with you telling me all that...??" ask Alinka curiously.

"Actually there are many native women here and Indonesian students who really admire Amer, but unfortunately she is a little choosy child, whether the type of rich girl how she wants." Obviously Shema.

"Truuuss...!!! Directly Deh Shema do not turn around rich gini topic of your conversation, actually you want to say what...??" I'm a little pressing on Shema.

"He actually admires you." said Shema.

"Huh.... who...??" ask Alinka.

"America.. Amer al-Hadr, a handsome, well-established, intelligent man who is the ideal of every woman, as well as his gentle attitude that makes a characteristic of him." explained Shema so proud of an Amer.

"Later on, the problem is that I don't know about the Amer Amer who is Shema" said Alinka innocently.

"Makanya, which you take care of it is not a grandiose textbook, about the romance of the occasional cake, it is not possible for the rest of your life to go through alone." replied Shema slightly echoed in the innocence of Alinka.

"Yes sorry, about knowledge must be compared to romance" said Alinka with a laugh.

"Of course, rather than the story of Amer only, mending we continue to eat yuk, laper nih it is noon anyway." invite Alinka while pulling Shema walking towards the place they are headed.

The next day, when they were in college.

"Lins... It...!!!" sahut Shema while running called out to Alinka.

"What's Shema??" answer Alinka.

"There's a nice greeting for you" said Shema, smiling with a happy smile.

"Who...??" ask Alinka.

"America." replied Shema in a whisper.

Alinka just looked at the face of her best friend, then she continued her steps towards the classroom.

"Well, why are you so funny." asked Shema.

"Shema's.. Shema. you said Amer was a picky person, if the real woman here is beautiful she is not interested let alone me. I don't believe at all in what you said Shema, I'm sorry.." explained Alinka.

"Oh so that, be careful if later the person will suddenly appear in front of you, Lin.

And they also walked to the classroom because soon the course will begin.

After the lecture hours were over, Shema and Alinka intended to go home to the dorm, because the weather that day was very hot and hot, but while in the campus corridor they passed one of the men with a tall, white, distinctive face like the Egyptians in general, with gray eyes, with gray eyes, it was guessed by Shema if it was Amer cow's dream of women.

"Lins... Alin... You want to know how rich Amer is??" whispered Shema while slightly nudging her shoulders.

"Surely he exists." asked Alinka.

"Did you see that white car?? And the one near her who was wearing the black shirt was Amer." point out and continue Shema's explanation.

"Oh that... Why would he come here...??" ask Alinka.

"Maybe she'll pick up her mommy next time" Shema replied.

They watched the young man for a long time, and when Alinka decided to go home, someone suddenly called out to him from behind...

"Ukhty...!!!" sahut.

Then the two of them looked at each other and looked around, to make sure that the one he called was Shema and Alinka.

"Well, there's no other feeling here besides us, who did he call...??" alinka whispers to Shema.

"Maybe he called us." Answer Shema.

They both dared to look back.

And sure enough the man called them,,

"Why did the person called from earlier not look at me either...??" ask the man.

"Sorry, we don't know if I'm calling us" Shema replied.

"Sorry to interrupt the trip for a moment, can we contact...??" said the man.

"I know who you are." Shema replied with a smile.

"Ukhty's the other one...??" ask the man.

"Sorry, my friend is a little quiet and shy." Answer Shema.

"I like women like that." The answer.

"Did my name Amer." Say him with a respectful greeting to Alinka.

Alinka answered.

"My name is Alinka." Alinka said as she put her hands together.

"You're an Indonesian student...??" ask Amer.

"Yes right." replied Alinka.

"What a brave woman, to gain knowledge so far." said Amer a little praise Alinka.

"Dad, Amer, what else is on this campus??" ask Shema.

"It just so happens to be taking us home." replied Amer.

"Oh.. That's it, can it not be Amer??" said Shema.

"May, of course I can." replied Amer.

"What's it doing now??" ask Shema.

"It just so happens that, continuing to manage the abi university in the neighboring city, then there is a little business in the field of hospitality in one of the famous tourist attractions in another city." Clearly detailed.

"Masyaallah.. if it is so busy...??" shema said with admiration.

"I happen to just monitor it all from home, because there are already trust people who are given assignments in each place, he said, but occasionally I also intervene to jump directly into the field if there is free time. " Answer Amer.

Suddenly Alinka pulled Shema's hand and whispered.

"Let's go home, why are you so excited to talk to him."

"Yes, yes.wait a minute, but there is a chance." replied Shema.

"Dad Amer, thank you for the time you have been able to have a little chat with me." Sahut Shema's.

"With pleasure ukhty, if we can be friends can we...??" ask Amer

"It's perfectly fine." replied Shema.

Then Alinka pulled Shema's hand back.

"You know the rules on our campus, right...??" whispered Alinka.

"We can't deket the same guy" he continued.

"But if we meet often we will become closer" said Alinka.

"Yasudah." Shema answered trying to find a middle ground.

"Why...?? Is there a problem...??" ask Amer.

"Emh. U. not Amer, this is Alin coming home, his word is not strong hot." Shema replied a little lying.

"What have you guys been up to..??" ask Amer.

"Public vehicle." answered Shema.

"You've come home careful, sorry today you haven't been able to take you home, because I have to pick up umi first." Amer said while apologizing.

"Yes, papa Amer, if we go home first," replied Shema.

"Assalamu'alaikum.." Shema and Alinka said as they walked home.

"Wa'alaikumussalam.." replied Amer as he waved his hand.

Arriving at the dormitory.

"You why the hell do Shema dare to talk Amer??" my lament.

"Why, no papa dong, the person he himself wants to know." Answer Shema.

"But I don't feel good about the rules here" I said badly.

"Why Alin, we do not violate the rules, just a light conversation, anyways in public places also do not hide from us, plus we three Alin remember." Answer Shema.

Alinka just sighed as if something was still stirring her heart.

"Already, if you are not comfortable with this introduction, let all this flow like water worthy yes, do not have to chat again even if only small talk, no need to see you again, no need to meet again, even if it's just a greeting, if he's ready, he will definitely seriously invite you ta'aruf ya Alin." Shema tried to calm me down.

"The color I don't want to put the feeling back, but at the end of it he just stop by is not really" said Alinka, recalling the events of his first love with Salman.

"And my fault is too much, making me sure of himself, when he himself actually already has a love and it's not for me." Connect Alinka.

"Have you had an early love for Alin??" ask Shema.

And Alinka nodded her head.

"It's not easy to be attracted to someone, just because he treats you well, it could be to everyone he is like that." said Shema.

"Yes and I were stupid, overconfident, and thought he liked me" Alinka replied in a sad voice.

"You're not stupid Alin, you're just happy about the excess and make you think he treats you special if you're special to him, though the fact is not you are special in his heart but him." said Shema.

"The truth does hurt Alin sometimes, but then you don't have to be sad and remember it continuously." Shema Message.

Then Alinka hugged her best friend Shema.

"Related Alin, now there is me here and now you are also in adulthood, you should have matured in terms of relationships, so you do not need to be misdirected again huh, yes, god willing I will escort you to halal." said Shema while hugging and caressing him.

"Thank you." replied Alinka as she continued to hug Shema.

A few days passed, after the meeting, Amer never asked to be reunited and Alinka was doing his activities normally.

But, after the meeting, there was always something special that Amer gave to Alinka, whether it was a set of prayer tools, or not, the Qur'an and other items that are more useful to use Alinka worship, all Amer gave to him.

Until one day when Alinka was not feeling well, Amer also gave his attention by bringing doctors to Alinka dormitory to treat him. And all that attention came to be realized by all the students on campus, especially the one class and one class with Alinka, they were envious to see Alinka get more attention than a man dreamt of many women in the city. To the extent that Alinka is almost hostile to everyone.

"Oh so this is a lucky woman who gets more attention than Amer." Sahut one of the students of one generation with Alinka.

"When the appearance is ordinary, even strange to look, the clothes are not covered, just cover all parts of his face so that no one sees at all," continued the other student friend.

"Most not sure if American parents can bless their relationship, Amer families are not ordinary families, they are honorable people in this country, he said, in stark contrast to this caste of immigrant women, clearly she is not a native of this country."

Such was a little conversation and the nyiny of Alinka's college friends when they felt envious of her,

Until then it made Alinka mentally drop back, like the trauma she had often experienced so far she felt back.

Fortunately Alinka has a friend who really care and is always there when Alinka happy or sad.

"Oh Alin, do not because of their words you become down, you must be stronger, remember your main purpose of fighting in this country for what and continue your struggle, you must be stronger, until your success can silence their mouths." Shema is very wise.

Alinka's spirit was stirred again when he heard the words of Shema.

"Thank you Shema, you've always been there for me." Alinka said as she hugged Shema tightly.

3 Months passed so quickly, until one day Amer intended to give one surprise to Alinka, namely to want to introduce him to both Amer parents and at the same time intend to directly propose to him.

And all the news was heard to the Alinka family in Indonesia, especially the family of Fakhry and Alinka's own birth Abi, because Amer has been quietly approaching and asking permission to get to know Alinka more deeply, To the extent that Faiz Alinka's adoptive sister also knows and she feels hopeless because Alinka already wants to belong to someone, Alinka, so since then Faiz also decided to ta'aruf also with one of his preferred newspapers.

Two weeks after Amer asked Fakhry's abi and Hasan's abi for permission to introduce him to his extended family, Amer actually came and picked Alinka up at his dorm, shema and her family accompanied her as the guardian of Alinka's parents who were in Indonesia and could not suddenly attend on the happy day.

"Assalamu'alaikum...??" Said Amer from behind the dorm door.

Then Shema also opened the door for her, in addition, Alinka was still preparing and tidying up her appearance in a room assisted by the Shema Ummah himself.

"Wait a minute, your candidate has not finished ummah make up in so be patient to wait for him." Shema said while joking a little at Amer.

"It's okay Shema, just relax, don't rush too, too" Amer replied with a smile.

Then Wan Azis as Shema's father, trying to accompany Amer for a moment to talk to avoid boredom because of waiting.

After a few minutes Amer waited, then Alinka was ready and began to leave the room accompanied by Shema and ummah.

"Son Amer, now that your candidate is ready, let's get going." Ummah Rubya.

Amer was instantly stunned, when he first saw Alinka's slightly different appearance.

So without wasting a long time, they immediately went to the Amer parents' house.

Some time on the way, they arrived at a house that was so magnificent as a palace, since then Alinka's heart began to be not careless, deg-degan, groggy and fear mixed into one.

When they got out of Amer's car, they were welcomed by several Amer's parents' domestic assistants, because Amer's parents had many domestic assistants themselves, his own house is like a palace in fairyland.

"Let's get in...!!!" Sahut Amer while inviting Alinka, Shema and ummah rubya walk ahead of him.

When entering the very high door towered like a gate, Alinka's feelings increasingly unreasonable, trembling, cold sweat and even limp all felt, because this is the first experience in his life can get to this point.

"Assalamu'alaikum.." said Amer to his parents, then he kissed the hands of his parents followed by Alinka.

" Wa'alaikumussalam son, so also you bring someone who you often tell us." Ummi Amer answered while stroking the head of her only child.

" Loh...is not this student who ummi teach at the campus son, so he's the person you've always admired?" Ask ummi Amer.

" Na'am ummi, she is indeed an ummi student who has been teaching, sorry Amer has not been able to tell all the identities about her, but today everyone will know who he is who Amer will make his future wife." Amer replied affirming it to both of his parents.

" If abi agrees, son, as long as it's all good for you and makes you happy." Sahut abi Amer's.

" Thank you for supporting our relationship." Amer replied smiling happily while hugging his brother.

Then ummi Amer suddenly approached Alinka and focused on paying attention to the appearance of Alinka from head to toe.

"America, by the way with a covered woman like this are you sure her face will be as pretty as she looks?" Sahut ummi Amer.

" Amer believes ummi, behind the niqob that always protects her there is a heart that can sincerely love and accept Amer as Amer is, as well as for Amer himself, for example, Alinka's face is far from our expectations, Amer will still accept him as he is, because Amer chose him because of Akhlak and his attitude ummi." Reply Amer sure.

"So when do you want to talk about it? And where's the family from who can attend the event later?" Ask ummi Amer back.

"It so happens that madam, I was given the mandate to be the guardian of Alinka because her family from Indonesia has not been able to come here suddenly, but God willing, on the day of preaching later, because her family from Indonesia has not been able to come here suddenly, alinka's family can be present all and for today maybe only I can be the guardian for Alinka himself." Wan Aziz said very carefully in speaking.

" Okay then, come sit down, let's continue chatting while enjoying the banquet that I have prepared." Ummi Amer replied, inviting Alinka and the Shema family to sit down.

" At last Lin, you will soon be at the sermon and thank God the Amer family will accept you." Bisik Shema happy.

Alinka without being able to answer Shema's words she just nodded and smiled.

"So you're ussuluddin's schoolboy, right, semester 3?" Ask Ummi Amer to Alinka.

" Na'am ustadzah." Alinka replied while bowing.

"I admit you are indeed the brightest student in my class, you are different from others but. I actually intend to match my only child with my business partner, but Amer himself rejected it and preferred you, so my message is never to let my son down." Ummi Amer.

Alinka nodded without saying.

"Ummi take it easy, Amer believes that Alin will never abuse Amer." Amer defended him a little.

"Jaudah please enjoy the dish I have prepared." Ummi Amer said to Alinka and the Shema family, then they continued to talk while enjoying the dishes that were available at the table.
