Aeleya's Story

TWELVE

Moments later, there was no more chattering from Andra's mouth. Aleeya was sure she must have entered her room. So because it was safe, Aeleya finally came back out of the room and headed to the bathroom to ablution. However, his habit of performing tahajud prayers should not be abandoned.

After performing the four rakaat tahajud prayer, Aleeya rested his eyes with sleep before he did not forget he turned on the alarm to wake up at 5am so that he could perform the morning prayer at the beginning of time.

The next day, Aleeya who had taken a shower of prayer and changed clothes went straight to the kitchen. Likewise with Windy, without asking them to help Pure Aunt who already looks busy making breakfast for them.

“Tante cook what? Let us help Aunt.” Windy's bidar headed straight for the kitchen while Aeleya was seen washing dishes.

“This is just for fried rice with Dika's favorite fried chicken,” replied Pure Aunt while smiling kindly.

“What time is it now?” Ask Pure Aunt to the two of them.

“Half hour 6 aunt” Aleeya and Windy answered almost simultaneously.

“Yes, Pardon.. Andra Sama Dika has not woken up yet. Difficult kali arguablyin, every day must be built for dawn prayers that children” Gerutu Pure Aunt then rushed to the room of his bachelor child.

“Andra, Dika... WAKE UP!!!” Arriving in their room, Pure Aunt immediately turned on the lights and shouted calling the names of her two bachelor children.

Andra and Dika immediately wriggled together by rubbing his glare eyes due to the light of the lamp.

“Apaan ma, not yet dawn.” replied Andra without opening his eyes, instead the man covered his face with his pillow.

“Not yet dawn what is ANdra, it try to see the clock.. It's 6 and a half. Getup!! Morning prayer again you two..” Tell Pure Aunt and then pull the blanket and pillow Andra. Dika was sitting with sleepy eyes.

“Ayok Dika, wash your face.. Take wudhu.. Prayer...” Pure Aunt is still grumbling at length, Dika has walked gontai towards the back while Andra has not yet moved from his bed that makes Pure Aunt even more upset.

“Andra…. You are yes, it is difficult to say. Already grown up too, not ashamed of the diligent and sholeha girl. Seeing your lazy behavior this will ilfil women the same kamu” Umpat Aunty Pure.

“Iya, Yes Mama... Five minutes more.Andra still sleepy this night, last night could not sleep” said Andra still closed his eyes.

“Can't sleep why are you? Must be staying up, huh? Play games, yes?” Accuse Pure Aunt of her child.

“Bukaannn... There was a troublemaker last night so he could not sleep..” replied Andra with a muddle unclear.

“Not many more reasons you, Andra. It's fast there take ablution...” Tell Pure Aunt, but.. Andra did not open her eyes at all. He even slapped his body.

“ANDra...!!!!” Pure Auntie Jerit again. Aleeya and Windy who heard it all from the kitchen, only smiled faintly while shaking their heads.

...***...

That morning Aeleya and Windy went to the hospital for a medical exam as a condition for re-registration. Aeleya and Windy went to the side and were escorted by Pure Aunt. Fortunately Pure Auntie had no scheduled supervision that morning, otherwise they would have faced again with Andra's arrogant attitude if the man drove them.

Arriving at the hospital, it is quite crowded also re-listing participants who come for a health test. Aleeya Langusng took 2 queue numbers for him and also Windy. Then they sat in the chair waiting until their names were called.

A moment later Windy permits to Aeleya to wc. After Windy left for WC, – arrived there was a man approaching Aeleya and sitting right next to him.

“Assalamua’alaikum, ukhti.. Sorry to interrupt..” He said by saying hello and calling himself Ukhti. Either because of his reclusive appearance or because of something else, the man called himself ‘ukhti’.

“Wa’alaikumusalam, Iya.” Aleeya replied in a quiet voice by shifting his body slightly from the man who was already sitting next to this.

“Again waiting for the health test queue too right?” Guess with a warm smile. Aleeya glanced at the face of the man who invited her to this chat.

“Iya,” Arsyila replied with a faint smile and then pretended to be busy with her phone.

“Oya, if you can know what your majors are?” Ask the man again.

Aeleya stopped her activities in the world of maya and looked back to her left side.

“I obstetrics.” Aeleya answered this time without a smile.

“Ohh.. Mother midwife turns out, if I am nursing.” He said by introducing his own style, even though Aleeya did not ask.

“What queue number are you?” The man asked again which made Aeleya feel uneasy. That's how Aleeya is, she's very careful about communication with the opposite sex. Which sometimes maybe the man who invites him to chat will assume that he is arrogant when it is not the truth. Aleeya just wanted to keep it, she wanted to always be careful. Not excessive in acting especially with the opposite sex.

Aleeya was also afraid that if she was over-served, she would be addicted. Once when he first started hijrah, the temptation of the opposite sex very often approached him. That was the toughest temptation when he first started setting himself up for hijrah. Where, alternating his boyfriend in the past it came to invite him to just share the story either by phone or smsan. It used to be possible that Aeleya would be quick to respond because most of Aleeya's friends are male – and she feels more comfortable telling stories and gathering with her boyfriend weighed her friend female.

However, after he knew everything about the relationship between men and women in Islam, he who began to study and study, finally set himself up to really move from it all.

“Hai, why daydream anyway?” The man rebuked because Aeleya did not answer his question. Aleeya who was jolted in shock with the reprimand instantly felt uneasy.

“Sorry, Ask what was it?” Aleeya.

“What queue number are you?” the man repeated his question.

“Number 35” Reply Aleeya potluck.

“Means near donk with my queue number. My number is 36” He said.

“Oh, yes.” Said Aeleya who no longer knew what to say.

“Oh, yes Can...” Aleeya replied directly.

“What is your hp number? Let me save” he said again.

Aleeya immediately looked at the man in surprise.

“Yes I mean we exchange numbers so let's be happy you contact me” Obviously the man seemed to be aware of Aleeya's confusion.

“Sorry, not how, I mean.. Why don't you take help with others, especially men” said Aleeya with advice.

“Loh how is that? You mind ya?”

“If you have to be honest, yes” Aleeya replied steadily.

“Ooo.. okay dech.. Then, I'm sorry I interrupted” said the man finally and then left Aeleya.

A little while later, Windy from the WC came and sat down next to Aleeya.

“Lya, who was you talking to?” Windy asked who had seen Aleeya talking to a man.

“Not knowing who, he was the same as me queue number what” replied Aeleya.

“Ooh.. Oya, what is the queue number called?” Windy asked as he glanced at the registration section.

“It's not long to mean” replied Windy after knowing what number is in the examination room.

After half an hour later, finally their queue number was called as well. Aeleya and Windy entered the examination room simultaneously, once entering it was restricted to only 3 people. So, the other person who entered with them was the man who had invited Aleeya to chat earlier. The man threw a sweet smile at Aeleya as their eyes clashed. Aeleya was speechless by swallowing her saliva.

After finishing the medical tests, Aleeya and Windy who were thirsty just left the hospital to buy a drink.

“Lya, order food yuk? Hungry nih!” Take Windy by holding her stomach.

“Yes, can I lah” Aleeya replied.

Aleeya ordered fried rice while Windy ordered fried noodles. As they waited for their order to arrive, suddenly a man came and sat near them. Aleeya and Windy immediately turned their heads simultaneously towards the man who had the eyes.. The man who was inviting Aleeya was chatting in the waiting room earlier.

“By joining right?” He asked because he saw the astonished look given by the two women.

“Other seats at full, only here doank empty” More. Aleeya looked around the crowded cafeteria and all the seats were full except for where she and Windy were.

“Oh, yes please.who is ngemarang” Windy replied kindly. Aeleya just looked down.

“Sorry yes, if I feel uncomfortable here” He said again while glancing at Aleeya.

“No, not at all uncomfortable. Is it Lya?” TanYA Windy while nudging the shoulder of the woman who again lowered her head. Aeleya just nodded.

“Oya, you guys took the health test too right?” The – man asked but this time the question immediately went to Windy because only Windy was the one who looked at the man's face.

“Iya, you also yes?” Guess Windy

“Iya, Yes .. Introduce my name Fauzal.” He said by introducing himself but without extending his hand.

“I'm Windy, and my friend is Aleeya..” Windy said.

“Ooo... Windy yes, and who was next to him?” Fauzal asked with a glance at Aleeya with the tip of his eyes.

“Aleeya,” Reply Aleeya finally.

“Hhmm.. Aleeya, a good name..” His sigh slowly but still clearly heard by Windy and Aleeya. After that, Fauzal had a light conversation with Windy. Aleeya did not participate in their chat. He prefers to be quiet.

A few moments later, their orders arrived. The three of them were busy enjoying their respective meals without speaking at all.

Aeleya ate slowly and felt a little uncomfortable eating face to face with Fauzal. Even though the man ate without looking at him, it was still that Aleeya felt uneasy.

Aleeya looked around the canteen that had started to quiet down. Aeleya hoped that the man in front of her would become self-conscious and immediately move on, Aleeya also became not free to chat with Windy. Aleeya glanced at Fauzal who again fed a spoonful of fried rice to his mouth. Unexpectedly, the man even returned Aleeya's glance.

“Why Lya, lyrics?” Ask with a meaningful smile. Aleeya flinched with an already red face holding back the embarrassment.
