56. Bismillah Fight

Amira's request is getting louder the day Kirana hears. To appease her daughter, she left Amira for a few days at Bang Adnan and Lucy's house. Kirana has also several times invited Amira to her Papa's tomb to at least remind her that Amira actually also has a father who has infinite affection for her.

Kirana started to heavily come to take Amira to music lessons because every time she went there they would meet with Galih who turned out to have 2 classes on the same day as Amira's class. Several times Kirana saw Amira whining to ask her good om only who accompanied her to play making Teh Gina forced to say yes than the boy sulked.

“Sorry, Mr Galih can I speak with you?” ask Kirana.

“You called Gina with call ‘teh’, why call me ‘Pak’? If you want you can call me with a more familiar call, ‘aa’ for example,” he said.

“Are they allowed? Sorry I'm just scared, too much is on my mind right now,” Kirana said.

“Not to be afraid, neng Kirana I have not had a boyfriend or wife. I am still single, so if you want to call me with a familiar call, no one will be angry. Gina won't be angry anyway she's not my girlfriend, she's my cousin,” she said.

“Ahh.., I think Gina tea is your girlfriend. That's why I was so scared, my son also often missed calling you,” said Kirana.

“There is still 15 minutes before my class starts. Neng, would you like to talk to me at the front stall, no? Yuk, aa the deal,” said Galih.

“But Amira..,”

“Amila sendilian ndak papa kok Ma, Amila is already besal,” he said.

Want to not want Kirana to say it. He really had to straighten things out with this guy.

Galih and Kirana headed to the front stall. Sitting face to face at one of his tables. Galih asked Kirana for permission to order a plate of vegetable rice because she had not had time to eat at the office. Kirana the hell yes, he will not forbid anyway he was here also just invited.

“I can't believe Kirana's sister is Bang Adnan,” said Galih shortly after finishing his meal.

“Have finished a? Cepet one meal,” said Kirana who was quite surprised because these few minutes only Kirana spent daydreaming while playing a straw on her ordered iced tea glass.

“Because if aa eat it long will be sprayed with your brother,” he said again.

Galih told me last week that she met Adnan who replaced Kirana to bring Amira here, which is why Galih could tell if the beautiful woman sitting in front of him was the younger sister of her senior in Brimob.

“Sorry that Bang Adnan is fierce,” said Kirana tried a rather relaxed language.

“Ngak papa, it's his obligation. Your brother is kabid propam if not firm and disciplined will be what his men will be. Precisely I salute your brother's cooperation,” said Galih inexplicably made Kirana embarrassed even though he was not the one being praised.

“Oh yes earlier neng said something to talk about?” ask Kirana.

“Ah it's about my daughter Amira, I want to apologize because she always calls you the wrong way. I have reprimanded him many times but he always repeats it again and again. I'm sorry, if you're really uncomfortable you can scold me now,” Kirana said.

“Actually I didn't correct the call because I was happy to be called so. Yes maybe neng Kirana thinks I'm a strange person, but I've often imagined ‘if later had a daughter must be funny. He'll call Papa and be spoiled to me’ that's why I let your daughter call me that. A little treat my ambition, you could say,” he said.

“Sorry, what is aa serious about not having a boyfriend or wife? You see I really don't want to ruin people's relationships,” asked Kirana.

“No neng. aa single from birth. Whole life has never felt the courtship.if about falling in love ever anyway, to a girl who was working at the cafe that I visited. But it's also just monkey love. I do not know the girl whose name, how is it now also do not know,” explained Galih.

“Amira's father was named Raihan. The police, too, died of illness a month after Amira was born. He doesn't know what his father looks like that's why he rarely tells it. If he told about the figure of Papa he meant Bang Adnan because during his childhood he had lived with Bang Adnan and his wife,” replied Kirana who understood the direction of Galih's question.

“Oh, sorry about your husband. Also be sad,” said.

“It’s okay, long gone,” Kirana said.

“Neng Kirana. My class is about to start. Amira also soon the class is finished, right?” bring Galih.

Kirana nodded. He walked up to the shop owner's mother to pay for his iced tea but was quickly defeated by Galih who immediately gave the shop owner a 20 thousand note and pulled Kirana's hand to stop tinkering at his wallet.

“Monggo change,” said the mother.

“Matur nuwun Bu,” said Galih who turned out to be quite fluent in Javanese. Kirana thought that Galih was thick with her people because she always called Kirana with sundanese call, she also talked about herself aa.

“I think aa can't speak Javanese,” says Kirana.

“Yes because long time in jogja and friends in the office many who use Javanese so little learning. Learning the language we live in is a must, right? As a sign that we appreciate the place where we live. This land has lived me. This special city means something to me even though my hometown remains number one. But as long as it is still in NKRI, it is the same land as my homeland as well,” he said.

“Now I believe aa brimob,” said Kirana who knows this kind of character a little.

Kirana and Amira resign. Having already rained, Galih is happy to help Kirana and Amira get on top of her car. After carrying Amira into the car, Galih drove Kirana with an umbrella so that the two would not be rained.

“Dah papa, Amila go home first,” says Amira.

“Drug, be careful yes. Neng, again it rains slippery roads, do not speed yes,” Galih said to Kirana and Amira.

“Home a, assalamualaikum,” says Kirana.

“Waalaikumsalam,” replied Galih with a friendly smile.

Gina saw. He only smiled mischievously as soon as he realized there was something different from the look in his cousin's eyes at the mother of one of his students. Gina continued to follow Galih who was putting an umbrella in front of the class.

“Ciee anyone want to get a girlfriend,” Gina Goda.

“Not necessarily, but if yes yes alhamdulillah will not refuse,” replied Galih.

“But as far as I'm concerned she's a widow, aa sure? Do you want to find a girl who is still a virgin? Aa nih popular you know, many of my friends are much prettier than she wants to be aa,” said Gina.

“They don't want Gi. The widow wants a girl, she's still a girl. The same in the eyes of God. I've already been called Papa. Aa nih has really wanted to be a father. finally Ijabah also will pray a third of the night aa,” Galih said to Gina.

“Gi, she's good, she's sholehah, she's also a tough woman. About beautiful bonus. insyaallah aa want to fight him to be a companion, you will approve right?” ask Galih.

“Aa this will undergo, Gigi can what?” said Gina who could only agree with Galih's intentions. After all her intentions were good, so Gina did not have to worry about losing Amira as her protege. His hopes were high for the boy.
