Falling in Love with Champion Qori.

Chapter 47. Kayla Arsyad Al - Banjari.

'Tok tock..' Alifa knocked on the door of the residence of the leader of the boarding school darul Huda slowly. After a few taps, the door opened from the inside. Ummi Khasanah was smiling behind the door.

"Assalamualaikum ummi" said Alifa as she extended her hand to Salim to ummi Khasana and kissed the back of her hand with reverence.

"Waalaikumsalam son, come in.ayo in. Abi has been waiting for you in the family room." said ummi khasanah gently.

Alifa certainly surprised, not usually kyai waiting in the family room. If he is called usually he waits on the living room sofa. 'What's the matter exactly?' inner Alifa raging.

Ummi Khasanah invited Alifa to go inside to the family room at the residence of the family of Kyai Abdullah.

Alifa continued to walk her feet following the ummi khasanah towards the family room. He was surprised not to play it turns out there besides Kyai there is also Gus Al. The figure that has been very stealing the attention of all santri darul Huda.he sits beside his father with a limit of one empty sofa.

"Assalamualaikum kyai" said Alifa then Salim with reverence to the owner of the boarding school darul Huda.

"Vaalaikumsalam. Please sit down son "

"Alright kyai.., thank you." replied Alifa politely.

Alifa also turned to Gus Al and greeted him while cupping his hands on his chest as a form of greeting and respecting him.

"The Assalamualaikum Gus Al."

Gus Al who had been silent smiled in response to Alifa's attitude with an unbecoming heart.

"Waalaikumussalam." answered Gus Al briefly.

"Sorry kyai, ummi, is it true that Kyai called me?" alifa said fearfully and softly after she sat in front of her kyai.

"Yes Alifa, we deliberately call you to come to ndalem here because ummi misses you. It's been a few days not seeing you it feels like it's been a long time."

Alifa responded to the speech of ummi khasana with a smile. because Alifa knew, it was just a pleasantries that ummi khasanah said alone.

"Sorry ummi, I am busy preparing for the final exam."

Gus Al who had been silent, just glanced at Alifa who thought it was very beautiful and interesting. Gus Al did not dare to look at Alifa directly, other than here there are ummi and her Abi.., he did not dare to behave more towards the santri Abi who had stolen his attention. Gus Al did admire Alifa since the beginning of his parents' house. Gus Al just silently silent to hear the word for greeting between his father and his best santri.

"You are indeed very diligent son. 13 years you are in the boarding house here are very many achievements that you have achieved so it feels darul Huda is reluctant to let you go." ummi khasanah.

Alifa just smiled in response to the words of ummi darul Huda.

"Well..!"

"If you could know how old you are now?"

"I still want 17 years, kyai. three more months just 17."

"How many years have you been living here, son..?"

"Maybe it's almost 13 kyai years."

"Sorry kyai before, sorry have I been disappointing kyai and ummi ?" alifa asked with a little fear.

Kyai Abdullah just smiled.

"No son, no one disappoints us. Precisely the extended family of Darul Huda thank Alifa who has many incised dozens of proud achievements that he achieved so far." said ummi khasanah sage.

"Well..!"

"I'm kyai..!" alifa replied while looking at the face of Kyai Abdullah who felt a little tension.

Alifa was confused by this situation. He did not understand exactly why he was called here. From earlier kyai and ummi khasanah only spoke with a confusing question for Alifa. At a glance, Alifa turned towards Ummi Khasanah and Gus Al. Alifa jolted it turns out that Gus Al was staring at him with a difficult gaze to interpret. The two look at meet. Quickly Alifa lowered her head to avoid her embarrassment because Gus Al was also staring at her.

Kyai took a deep breath before continuing her speech.

"Look Alifa, we and our family are calling you to come here because there are things we want to say. I hope you're not surprised by what I'm going to say."

"Inshaallah kyai. What exactly is kyai..?"

Kyai Abdullah turned to his son, who was sitting next to him.

"Alifa.., this is my only son he is named Kayla Arsyad Al-Banjari. He came here a few days ago after many years in Cairo. You must have known him before."

Alifa was getting confused by this situation.

'Dad.., help your son this.' Inner Alifa raged incoherently with a mind that was not-not in the middle of this kyai family.
