《 FACE BEHIND VEIL 》

MOVE ON Part1

MOVE ON

 

After returning from the ruined event, the family and relatives of Ustad Fakhry also gradually retired and went home, staying some of them, namely the Alinka family, and the family, the future husband of Zainab and the Shema family as friends of Alinka.

 

Right in the living room of Abi Fakhry, Umi Fatimah, Faiz, Zainab and her future husband and Alinka and his family were gathered to accompany Abi Fakhry's family who were in mourning.

 

All looked deathly pale and unexcited, tinge of tired faces clearly visible on the look on their faces.

 

Abi Fakhry also seemed to vent his disappointment to Faiz because it was still carried away by emotions.

 

“So now you still want to obey your own will Faiz? After what happened to you now?” abi Fakhry said with emotion.

 

“still want you to reject the will your parents gave you just for your own good?” he rebuked Faiz.

 

“Nothing, Abi intends to match you with a chosen person Abi so that you avoid the name of the disappointment Faiz, do you not understand?” continued snapped Abi.

 

“Already, already Abi, Abi patient first. Abi don't even get carried away by emotions.” Sahut Zainab is seen trying to calm Abi.

 

Faiz was just speechless, looks a very tangled face and gloomy. There are many thoughts that he is contemplating.

 

Umi is only seen shedding tears lamenting the fate of her eldest child.

 

“Sorry before Abi I spoke up, not intended to interfere, but just for input. It is better for Abi and all family members to calm the mind first, give time for Faiz to make his heart feel calm and after a conducive state as before, give time to Faiz, then Abi can give advice back to Faiz and input for his future.” Ustad Farid said very politely.

 

“Iya Abi for free now Abi venting Abi's disappointment at Faiz's brother that can only make Faiz's brother become more down.” Sahut Zainab recounted her future husband.

 

Abi just stared at Faiz who looked moody and lethargic.

 

Then Faiz was seen going to his room and closed the door and locked it.

 

Abi's facial features look angry, but Zainab and Ustad Farid soaked it immediately so that the uproar did not occur in the middle of the family members.

 

“Sabar Kyai, let Faiz calm himself first by being alone, maybe that way his personality will return to how it was and then we can again take his heart.” Abi Hasan Alinka's real father.

 

Finally, Abi's anger was seen to subside after hearing the words of Abi hasan and Zainab also her future husband.

 

Alinka is seen only holding umi Fatimah who drooped limp in the chair while continuously dripping her tears.

 

After the debate, then all returned to their respective homes including Alinka and family.

 

Along the way Alinka recalled the state of her foster sister which made her look dreamy for a very long time.

 

“Lin, Alin!!!” shema's shock awakened her daydream.

 

“Eh yes arrived yes?” alinka replied in surprise.

 

“Journey is still far away, I saw from earlier you daydreamed continuously, again thought Faiz ya?” ask Shema.

 

“You don't get carried away by Lin, there we can all follow down if all come to mind and feel sick.” Shema.

 

Alinka was only seen breathing very long.

 

“Oyah the day after I returned to Cairo, now baba has taken care of our return.” Sahut Shema's.

 

“Lusa? Can't I have another week of Shema?” alinka asked in sadness.

 

“Sorry can not Alin, baba kingdom has been waiting there.” Shema replied while continuing to focus on driving.

 

“I still want to be with you.” Say Alinka with teary eyes.

 

“Let's meet again at the best point according to Allah.” Shema replied with a sweet smile.

 

Then they embraced each other.

 

Arriving at Alinka's house, they immediately rest because tomorrow may be the last day Alinka can be with Shema.

 

On such a silent night Alinka looked at Shema's sleeping face, as if reluctant to part her heart was so heavy that she took her home.

 

“Good sleep Shema, rest, sweet dreams, someday we will regroup at the best point according to God.” Whisper Alinka while peeping her forehead.

 

Morning dew spread in every corner of the universe its coolness is now starting to feel, its shine mbak diamond gem exposed to sunlight that radiates the beauty of its light.

 

“Good morning Shema, how did you sleep tonight?” Tanya Alinka who used to wake up first to help mom prepare dishes in the morning.

 

“Thanks to Alin, maybe the effect of yesterday's trip was too tired to drain all the energy.” Shema replied while occasionally still looking yawn and wriggling her body.

 

“Iya I also saw you last night so soundly, that I could not bear to intend to prick you first.” Alinka said while holding back her smile.

 

“Basic queen ignorant you, if I've already nothing more ignorant in your appeal Alin.” Shema replied to her joke.

 

“Oyah.. Where do you want me to take you today?” Alinka asked while busy tidying up all the dishes on the dining table.

 

“Ke anywhere we find a photo place that is aesthetic as usual.” Shema answered excitedly.

 

“Oh.. Yes I will take you somewhere.” Alinka.

 

At exactly 07.00 am, Alinka family and Shema family also enjoy breakfast together before they do their respective activities on this day.

 

Alinka and Shema intended to find a good photo spot in Alinka's hometown, while wan Aziz joined Abi to look at the gardens and rice fields, in addition to Ummah Rubya learned to cook Sundanese cuisine. Such was their activity before the return of the Shema and family tomorrow to return to their country.

 

“Come Alin, I can't wait to explore this new place in your area.” Sahut Shema while preparing in front of the house.

 

“Wait Shema, you are sure you are strong, we walk quite far through the village and the hill.” Answer Alinka.

 

“Alin, aren't we in the dorm used to leave for college on foot, it's the same as now.” Shema said so confidently while holding Alinka's hand and dragging her to step.

 

“Tap.. but Shema...!!!” alinka's speech was interrupted because Shema was in a hurry to invite him to walk.

 

“Let's cape say yah!” alinka said after they started their journey.

 

“OK!” answer Shema who keeps focusing on the point of the road that she will be poking.

 

“By the way we want to find a photo place where?” ask Shema curiously.

 

“Bukit..!!!” alinka answered with such vigor.

 

“Hah... hill? Not all mountains?” sahut Shema's.

 

“Byok if you want!” alinka replied with excitement.

 

“There is?” tanya Shema hesitated.

 

“There are banyaaakk,,!!!” Alinka said as she spread her hand.

 

“Hem... Next time Deh Alin tomorrow will I go home soon so there will be no more time.” Answer Shema gloomily.

 

“Iya.. but promise yes, sometime play here again, nginep longeraa.!!!” sahut Alinka then hugged Shema.

 

“InsyaAllah yes Alin.” Shema hugged Alinka back.

 

Arriving at the destination,,

 

“MashaAllah.. Alin..!!!” sahut Shema with a glued view.

 

“Beautiful is Shema?” alinka asked while showing the atmosphere around her.

 

The expanse of the valley covered with green grass looks exactly like a field covered by small, smooth grasses, not to forget also looks white fog that resembles a fine cotton with perfect rays of morning sunlight.

 

 

“It was not in vain that we passed through the terrain rather uphill, a little steep but paid for by all this beauty.” Alinka.

 

“Iya true.” Answer Shema.

 

“You come here often Lin?” ask Shema?

 

“Honestly I'm also the first time I came here.” Alinka replied while shutting her mouth.

 

“Why?” ask Shema.

 

“I'm a home child Shema who rarely goes out of the house even if it's just an eye wash.” Alinka replied a little amusedly.

 

“Now be an adventurous child well with me.” Sahut Shema's.

 

Then they smiled and started shooting.

 

After being satisfied to take a picture they immediately returned home and saw the image.

 

“Show you also took a picture of yes Lin, suitable for being a photographer.” Follow the Shema when they get home.

 

“Maybe it's just a coincidence Shema.” Alinka replied.

 

“But this is nice original.” Said Shema while continuing to stare at her favorite camera screen.

 

“Color maybe you are also good at posing Shema so a very suitable alloy.” Alinka answered while following her camera screen.

 

“Where-where do we fit Lin, then from that, we do not get separated.” Sahut Shema hugged Alinka.

 

One day passed, when Shema's visit to where Alinka ended, she had to return home to continue her life there.

 

Alinka also took her home to the airport, how heavy Alinka's heart when she had to let a friend go far from her side.

 

The atmosphere of haru was no longer able to be contained back, when Alinka saw his best friend passed away from him. But Shema promised, if someday they would be reunited.

 

Shema has returned to her home country, now is the time for Alinka to organize a new life in her hometown, she intends to build a small foundation and continue her preaching which was previously delayed.

 

After the struggle and the process he took alone finally Alinka was able to realize his ideals to wake a boarding school for his beloved Abi. Although it is still very small and simple but Alhamdulillah Alinka already has santri that he taught himself, indeed occasionally Abinya intervened to just help become an additional educator.

 

In addition to the success of Alinka build a boarding house for Abinya, on the other hand Faiz has not been heard from, even Alinka and Faiz have not contacted each other because of their new activities.

 

After the failure that Faiz had experienced and the downturn that Faiz felt, Faiz was finally able to rise again and was given the mandate to take over his main duties as the sole heir to Abinya's boarding school. Faiz had held obligations at the foundation as the main owner but only lasted for a few months, after Faiz got a call to work as a lecturer at one of the universities in Madinah, Madinah, Faiz took up his duties and left and stayed there for a while. The length of Faiz's service in Medina for 3 years and during that time also Abi Fakhry always tried to offer a future for Faiz, namely by always betrothing Faiz with children of Abi's own acquaintances who abi believed with all his heart. But again Faiz also refused with the reason of wanting to focus on devoting himself in his workplace. To the extent that Abi and Umi were worried and Umi fell ill.

 

Hearing the news that Umi fell ill to Alinka's ear and soon he saw the state of his adoptive mother.

 

By being escorted by bang Hasan by riding a simple motorcycle, Alinka also arrived at the residence of Ustad Fakhry which at that time looked very quiet.

 

When Alinka entered the gate and tried to say hello, no one answered her greeting.

 

Alinka's feelings are increasingly haunted by fear and worry about the state of her adoptive mother, suddenly there is a santri child who approached her and asked, asking,

 

“Assalama... Brother Alin yah?” ask the santri boy.

 

“Wa’alaikumussalam..yeah, by the way the situation is very quiet, Abi and umi are not at home?” alinka answered and asked back to the santri child.

 

“Sorry brother, if Abi as usual he is preaching out of town, at home there is only umi but he is not feeling well.” Answer the boy.

 

“Oh like that, but umi's state is okay right?” ask Alinka.

 

“Because sister see for yourself the state of umi, I briefly open the door first.” The boy then went to the back door of the house and the front door was wide open. Finally Alinka and bang Husna were allowed to enter by the santri.

 

Not wanting to waste a long time, Alinka immediately went to the room and called out to him from outside.

 

“Assalamualaikum.. umi, umi, this is Alin...!!!” sahut Alinka in haste.

 

Then Alinka opened the door of the room and look Umi was lying on the mattress. Soon Alinka approached Umi who was lying on her bed.

 

“Umi...!!!” alinka Sahut.

 

Then he looked towards Alinka and,

 

“Alin... is that you son? Umi is very longing....!!!” suhut umi while spreading her hand.

 

Soon Alin embraced and hugged Umi.

 

“Alin also miss umi, sorry Alin just had nengokin umi here.” Alinka replied with tears.

 

“Where have you been, son? After the failure of Faiz's marriage as if all lost without news.” Umi said while stroking Alinka's head.

 

“Alinka is busy with the affairs of the Alinka umi foundation development and now Alhamdulillah the foundation has been established even though it is still very simple.” Answer Alinka.

 

“MashaAllah.. Thank God, son, now you have your own foundation?” tanya Umi was surprised to hear all of Alinka's stories.

 

“Iya umi Alhamdulillah, oh yes umi, Zainab and other sisters are Where? Tumben really lonely house, then brother Faiz?” ask Alinka curiously.

 

“Zainab is now working in one of the offices that he dreamed of long ago, while your other sisters they are still at school his return must always be late afternoon before magrib.” Answer umi.

 

“Then Brother Faiz, he no longer lives here.” Tell the umi story.

 

“Means umi?” ask Alinka curiously.

 

“Kak Faiz is now working in Medina as a lecturer, he departed after one month of the event, Faiz also had to hold Abi's foundation for him to manage himself, he said, but maybe if Faiz had always been here, he would always have remembered those bad memories. Therefore Faiz decided to stay in Medina while calming down.” Umi is obviously at length.

 

“Keep why umi could get sick like this? There must be something else Ii think about?” ask Alinka worried.

 

“Umi is worried about Faiz's future, many times Abinya tried to match him with Abi's choice but Faiz always refused, Faiz also never looked close to any court, either, while the desire of Umi and Abi Faiz soon married because Ustad Farid want to immediately marry Zainab near this time. Although Faiz had sincerely if Zainab stepped over him but Zainab still did not want to step over him so this makes umi and Abi confused.” Umi story with sobbing.

 

Alinka also pondered and thought of a way out.

 

 “Then Brother Faiz until when to work in Medina umi?” ask Alinka.

 

“The devotion Faiz took was 3 years after that only he was able to return to his homeland, but if the way it works is liked by the owner of the foundation, Faiz could be asked to stay there forever.” Answer umi.

 

Alinka is more dizzy thinking about how she helped Faiz get a mate while he is now no longer related to each other.

 

“Ya already umi now calm, soul mate, death and sustenance someone has been arranged by God, our task is only to follow the scenario of his life. Umi do not take dizziness later umi plus pain.” Alinka said trying to calm umi.

 

“Kalo you can stay again here umi will definitely not be like this.” Umi.

 

“But sorry umi, now Alin already has a new responsibility for the boarding school that Alin just built. But Alin promises Alin will often nengokin umi ya.” Alinka said trying to comfort the heart of Umi.

 

“Oyah, later umi talk in about your new foundation to Abi, maybe there are friends Abi who can be a regular donor to your foundation.” Umi

 

“Iya thank you umi in advance.” Answer Alinka.

 

After a few moments of longing for each other, it was time for Alinka to return home. Because the distance between Alinka house and Fakhry Ustad residence is very far it takes all day to travel back home. Therefore Alinka can not wait until Abi came home preaching, because usually Abi went home preaching can be until the night until the new day until home. So Alinka decided to go home early.

 

“Umi.. Alin could not wait for Abi to come home, Alin had to quickly return home, because maybe the children santri had been waiting for Alin there so now Alin wanted permission to go home.” Alinka with a heavy heart.

 

“Umi still miss nak.” Umi said while kissing Alinka.

 

“Alin is also umi, but want how else.” Alinka then they embraced.

 

In the end Umi also allowed Alinka to go home and arrive home safely.
