CAKA (Love Me Because of God)

Chapter 28 (Is It Wrong for Widows? )

Mama Indri always felt annoyed with Andri, because now Andri always defied his orders.

"You're Mama's son, Andri. So, you should have obeyed Mama's words, but what are you doing now? you've changed since you met Nayla."

"Ma, I'm sorry if Andri has a mistake against Mama, but Nayla never had a bad impact on Andri, even vice versa, because thanks to Nayla, Andri's life is getting better, and so on, and Andri never neglects to practice worship again, because Nayla always reminds Andri to be closer to Allah SWT."

"Mama cape talking to you, now it's up to you, Mama will not care anymore about your life, you should now take care of your beloved Queen."

Andri decides to go to Nayla's room to deliver food, rather than continue to argue with Mama Indri, because Andri does not want to be an ungodly child.

After arriving at the door of Nayla's room, Andri knocked on the door and said Greetings first before entering.

"Nay, you eat first yes," said Andri by sitting next to Nayla who is currently daydreaming.

"But Mas_," said Nayla who was immediately cut by Andri.

"There's no buts, and I don't accept rejection. Nay, I don't want you to get sick. You don't keep going like this, pity Brother Jefri if you keep torturing yourself."

"Mas, I'm sorry that Nayla always bothers Mas Andri."

"No Nay, you've never troubled me, and I'm always happy to be able to do everything for you. Now eat yes, crying also needs energy," said Andri, then feed Nayla.

Ms. Fatimah who saw Andri managed to persuade Nayla to eat, was happy, because from that Nayla was very difficult to persuade.

Thank God, Son Andri managed to persuade Nayla to eat. It seems Nayla also still has feelings of love for Nak Andri. hopefully they are destined to live together, pity Nayla has not had time to feel the happiness of a household, but also the family, because Nak Jefri died at the age of their marriage just a few weeks, said Ms. Fatimah in her heart.

After finishing feeding Nayla, Andri decided to attend the Jefri tahlil event which was about to begin.

"Nay, I go down first yes, soon Kak Jefri tahlil event will begin soon," said Andri.

"Mas, can Nayla come down? Nayla also wants to pray for the late Mas Jefri."

"Are you strong?" ask Andri.

"God willing, I am strong" replied Nayla.

Nayla is helped by Fatimah Bu walking down the stairs, but Nayla's body still feels weak, so Andri decides to help her too.

Neighbors who were present at the event stared dislikefully at Nayla who came down with the help of Andri, so they were heard talking about Nayla.

"Now her husband died, it's just tacky with his ex" said one of the middle-aged women who came to the event.

"Yes yes, not one birthday Widow is also nervous. Looks like she's happy, her husband died, so she can turn back the same ex," said one of the other neighbors.

Nayla's heart ached to hear the words of those who spoke it, and Andri did not accept the words of others who had spoken ill of Nayla.

Nayla felt moved because Andri had defended her, as well as Bu Fatimah who was increasingly amazed by Andri.

"Nay, you don't have too many thoughts yes, there's no point in us listening to the words of others, we don't ask them to eat, and importantly we don't harm others" Andri said, and Nayla nodded her head and smiled with teary eyes.

Many were present at the Jefri tahlil event, including all Jefri's men, and Papa Ervan welcomed the friendly arrival of all, in contrast to Mama Indri who continued to put on a sullen face.

Before the tahlil event began, Papa Ervan first gave a speech that began with the reading of Basmalah and Salam.

"I have previously thanked all those present at my Son's event, and as the parents of the late Jefri, I apologize if during his life the late Jefri had done something wrong," said Papa Ervan, then the tahlil event was continued with the reading of the do'a.

Throughout the show, Nayla continues to shed tears, as Nayla recalls her friendship with the late Jefri.

Goodbye Mas Jefri, may Mas Jefri calm in nature there, from now on Nayla will mengikhlaskan departure Mas Jefri, said Nayla in her heart.

After the tahlil event was over, one of Jefri's men handed over the basecamp key to Nayla.

"Sister-in-law, this is the key to the basecamp, who knows Brother-in-law wants to take important items belonging to the Boss there," said Rahmat.

"Thank you, Grace, but what if Mas Rahmat and the others were about to enter the basecamp if the key was given to me? ask Nayla.

"We have a duplicate key downstairs, whereas it is the key of the basecamp and also the upper room of the Boss residence. Patient brother-in-law yes, if there is anything Brother-in-law can contact us, and we hope that Brother-in-law will continue to manage the business of the late Boss Jefri."

"Let me think about it first Mas, once again I say thank you, and please give my thanks to others."

"Yes, brother-in-law together, Then we'll excuse you first" said Grace, then said Greetings before going home.

After Grace's departure, Nayla is returned to the room by Andri and her mother.

"Mas, money from all friends Mas Jefri should be used for tahlilan events only," said Nayla by giving an envelope containing money given all friends Jefri to Andri.

"No need for Nay, it's best to keep the money for your needs. Nayla does not need to worry, God willing if for Tahlil Kak Jefri, me and Papa have prepared it," said Andri by returning his money to Nayla.

"But Nayla doesn't feel good if it doesn't help the cost for tahlil's event."

"Don't talk like that, we are family, and it's our responsibility to prepare everything. Then go outside first yes, it is not good if it is too long here. Ma'am, I'd better sleep with Nayla alone here, pity Nayla if sleeping alone, let Abah and Kak Halim sleep in the guest room only," said Andri.

"Thank you very much, son Andri, sorry if we have been troublesome" said Ms Fatimah.

"Not at all Ma'am, Andri did not feel bothered by Mother. Now Nayla rest yes, Nayla do not mind too much, leave everything to Allah SWT," said Andri.

"Thank you very much for everything, Mas" said Nayla with a sincere smile, and Andri nodded her head and smiled in response.
