Aeleya's Story

NINETEEN

Aeleya was still silent, it was true that she felt grateful that she was no longer disturbed by the stupidity of the Fauzal but at this time it was the same if she had to sit next to each other again with the opposite sex. He just wants to be alone.. He is very uncomfortable being around a man who is not his mahram.

"You sit here?" Aeleya asked by raising one eyebrow. The ship had left the port.

"Emang why ? You want to kick me out, right?" Asked Andra who this time immediately turned to look at him.

"Hmmm... " Aleeya just muttered then turned her gaze to the window. He saw a blue sea that stretched beautifully. His heart and mind became cooler and calmer looking at the sea. Aleeya smiled with satisfaction at the beauty beside her.

After that, they kept quiet. Andra appears to have put a headset in her earpiece. Aleeya was sure she must have been listening to music. Then he covered his face with a hat and seconds later Aleeya heard the sound of the clucking from this man next to her. It turned out that the man had fallen asleep. Aleeya. Drowsiness somehow suddenly approached him and finally he fell asleep as well.

Aeleya woke up when the ship stopped, Aleeya thought they had arrived then she immediately woke Andra up. Aleeya called Andra, but the man did not hear the call because he was so fast asleep. Aleeya was confused as to how to wake him up, it was impossible for her to touch the man. Aleeya shook her head, then she decided to further raise her voice and called out to Andra.

"Andra, hi.. Wake up.. Have we arrived yet? The ship has stopped." Aeleya said but again there was no answer from Andra. Aleeya glanced at Andra's ears which were sometimes headsets.

"Hmmm.. Assumption.." Then Aleeya looked back, where Fauzal was sitting. It was the same as that guy was asleep. Then an idea appeared in Aleeya's mind, she took a pen from her backpack, and then unscrewed the pen and then stabbed the tip of the pen into Andra's hand with a little force. Aleeya's efforts succeeded. Andra finally woke up.

"Ouch, sick.. What the hell was that..?" Andra asked by holding her hand that was pierced with a pen by Aleeya.

"Because of this" Aleeya said, showing her pen in front of Andra's face.

"What the fuck are you ha? I put my hands on the pen" Andra said with annoyance.

"I woke you up, called you but you didn't hear me. Sound sleep so I initiative thrust the tip of this pen into the skin of your hand. Sorry if it hurts." Clearly Aeleya was feeling a little bad.

"Yes, it hurts" answered Andra fiercely.

"Wake me up?" Andra continued asking.

"Ships stop, are we down here?" Aeleya said as her hand pointed outwards.

"Not Aeleya, it's still a long way away. I told you since the beginning of the sea journey about 3-4 hours. It's only been 1 hour we've been walking." Obviously Andra.

"Yes, sorry I forgot." Answer Aleeya.

"You're sleeping again, sorry to interrupt." Aeleya said she felt bad for waking up the sleeping Andra.

"Can't anymore. It's gone for the sleep." Answer Andra with a ketus. Aleeya just kept quiet.

After that, silence. Andra looks busy with her phone. Aleeya fills her allure by reading her little Mushaf which she carries with her wherever she goes. The light blue Mushaf is his favorite Mushaf because it is a gift of someone special to him. Suddenly Aleeya's thoughts led her to remember the man who had given her the object.

"Let's say this Mushaf is a Gift for a special rib, may it remain Istiqomah, Aleeya."

That was one of the messages that always cheered Aeleya in her hijrah process. But, after he successfully migrated and studied with other shaliha women, the man even moved away and instead he changed his phone number without informing Aeleya. Two years ago Aleeya no longer got news from Aal, want to ask for a new phone number from sister Hilma, Aeleya did not dare. The shame that was blocking him, it was better that he harbored this feeling in his heart, a deep sense of silence.

"Youth... Even daydreaming.." Suddenly Andra broke Aleeya's daydream about Aal. Aleeya immediately looked at this man next to her in confusion.

"Why?" Aeleya asked.

"Your friend who's the one nginap where is he ?" Andra asked the porch pointing at Fauzal with the tip of his chin.

"I don't know. Why don't you ask her directly." Aeleya said with a shrug of her shoulder.

"Lazy. You're his friend cook he doesn't tell me anything about you." Andra.

"Yes he has no story," replied Aleeya.

"Just like.." Andra said and then covered her face with a hat, it seemed like this man would go back to sleep again. After that, Aleeya again continued reading his Mushaf in a quiet voice.

Moments later, Andra woke up and glanced next to Aleeya who was still at home with the chant of the Mellifluent-sounding Verse of the Quran in her ear.

"Your voice is good to read the Quran, why not join the Quran aj reading competition, Definitely champion one" I don't know what wind suddenly the man who always acts ketus Aeleya even praised him like that. Aleeya immediately stopped her reading for a moment.

"Thank you for the compliment, but I haven't thought of entering the race yet" Aleeya replied with a faint smile but did not look back at Andra.

"Why? Less self-confidence, right? It's good, Lo." Andra was back to praise.

"No reason, I don't want to. It's good the art of Reading the Quran is contested but it would be nice again if this Quran reading is made or studied for life guidelines" Aleeya replied.

"Yes.. Yep.. Yep.. But that's for those who want to, but most people are now lazy to learn the Quran." Andra with a joke.

"That is the importance of preaching, if there are many calls and calls to study the Quran Inshaallah many who want especially if they already know the amount of reward in learning the Quran." Replied Aeleya who seemed to itch her tongue to preach Andra. However, his little heart immediately said.

'Remember Aleeya, the ikhwan studied him with the Brotherhood as well, as well as the akhwat'

"Why are you dressed like this? Isn't it hot? Not been the hot weather for a few days, did not add that sultry." Said Andra who suddenly even shifted their conversation by asking about the clothes Aleeya was wearing.

Aleeya was silent for a few seconds, in her heart she was wondering, is it worth her explaining about how to dress properly in Islam to Andra?? No need to ask anymore, Aleeya already knew the answer.

"Do you really want to know what the answer is??" Ask Aeleya again.

"Hmmmm... Andra, you will get the answer to your question, but not from me. Nantik I give someone contact ustad to you, and you can ask as much as the ustad." Aeleya said at last. Andra was immediately confused.

"Well you are, why ask with all the rest. Don't be. Don't have to be anymore." Andra said then covered her ears with a headset. Aleeya no longer responded to it and re-permeated her Quran reading.

Finally it was 4 hours away by the small ship, they arrived at a subdistrict located at the very end and furthest from the capital.

All the passengers got off the ship slowly, the waves at that moment were rather strong. So that when they stand the small ship feels swaying - a shake that makes passengers who have been standing become adrift left and right.

Likewise with Aeleya, the strong wave made her head slightly dizzy so that when standing she could not balance her body so that made Aeleya even collapse towards the back. Behind there was Andra who was ready to catch the body of Aleeya who began to collapse.

"Eh.. Uh.. Why are you Aeleya??" Asked Andra who had held back the Aleeya backpack he was holding.

"Astaghfirullah's.. Sorry, sorry.. I'm a little dizzy from rocking - rocking his boat's gini." Aeleya replied, it was lucky that Aeleya had been carrying her backpack so Andra did not touch her body when she almost fell down earlier but rather she was holding onto the part of Aleeya's bag.

"If you are dizzy, sit down first. Don't be forced to come down. Only if the wave is a bit good." Andra said she gave advice. Aleeya agreed to the suggestion, and then she sat down in her chair earlier.

After all the people came down, only he, Andra and Fauzal, remained.

"Where are you still dizzy??" Ask Andra. Fauzal who heard the question from Andra went straight to their seat.

"Aleeya why ? It hurt?" Ask Fauzal with concern.

"The smell dizzy him from the wave earlier." Andra answered.

"Now is it still dizzy?" Fauzal, who was carrying it, asked again.

"Not anymore." Andra answered again.

"I asked with Aleeya, not with you huh!" Fauzal said with annoyance because he had asked Andra who answered him.

"Like me if you want to answer. Is it your same problem, huh?" andra said with ketus.

"Mending you down, why else here?" Andra continued again this time with half-exorcising.

"Like me, I want to go down with Aleeya." Sahut Fauzal with his eyes glaring.

"Don't see Aleeya still dizzy, let her rest first." Andra said again.

"OK then I wait for Aeleya until she does not turn around anymore" said Fauzal still with hardness of heart and then sat in the chair of the ship. Aleeya who heard the debate immediately stood up.

"Excuse me.." Aleeya said and then moved her legs out.

"Eh, where are you going?" Andra asked as she caught up with Aleeya who had already gotten off the ship.

Fauzal did the same.

After getting off the ship, Aleeya sat in a chair near the stall. Suddenly he felt nauseous and dizzy. Aleeya pinched her head tightly and then searched for something from inside her bag. He took a headache medicine and immediately swallowed the medicine.

"Still sick?" Andra came and sat down next to Aeleya. Fauzal stood in front of them.

"Yes, still." Answer Aeleya.

"Yes you've sat there first, I want to call your brother first, so I can pick us up." Andra said at last. Aleeya just nodded her head.

"You okay, Lya? Have you taken medication?" Fauzal asked and sat down beside Aeleya. While Andra has gone from there to find a good signal to be able to call.

"It's a little bit dull." Aeleya replied and went back to sipping her drink that had stayed a little.

"It's drinking again" said Fauzal and offered a sealed drink.

"Thank you, but this is still there to drink me." Reject Aleeya subtly.

"You're almost done, take it." Fauzal said half forcefully.

"Eh, move. You better drink that water yourself. Come, Lya. We'll wait there aj.." Invite Andra by pulling Aeleya's backpack that will not want Aeleya to follow where Andra took her..
