Halal Lover
The Part 11
"We can only plan, the rest of God determines."
***
TODAY Nazwa went to study with Acha. Before the day after tomorrow they faced UNBK who was in sight.
This was the umpteenth time the girl had attended an event like this, after her separation from Raka.
"Wa. I bought a ticket to enter first, huh? You wait there," said Acha while pointing at the waiting bench.
Nazwa nodded slowly. "Don't be long, ye."
"Sip my boss."
Nazwa sat alone on that bench. He took his phone from the backpack he was carrying. The opening of a green application whose message content comes from many groups.
Singlet Istiqlal🐣

Where the hell is this? Tumben quiet 😕
Nazwazivaran_
Again in the study, Vin.
Alvinganteng_
Where's Wa? Same who?
"Laughter. Come inside!" acha exclaimed who suddenly came with two tickets in her hand.
"Attent, Cha. I'm in Alvin's group chat again."
"Alvin chat in the group?"
Nazwa. Still focused on typing replies. However, the reply was knocked out because there was another message coming in first.
Natashaaarasyid

Nazwa glanced at the bellowing Acha as he watched.
Alvinganteng_

Natashaaarasyid

Alvinganteng_

Natashaaarasyid
Here you dare! I'm waiting for the study now!
The group of three humans continued to notify Nazwa's phone.
"Astaghfirullah's. Acha already, Cha. Istighfar you're alvin's mah will have no end." Nazwa nagged at his best friend.
Now reversed. Sometimes Nazwa is more chatty than Acha.
"I know Alvin!" acha murmur.
"Ati-ati will upset you in recorded sins."
Acha immediately beristighfar. Regretting frustration. But, it cannot be denied. Sometimes whatever Alvin did always made his white blood soar drastically.
"Come on. He said he wouldn't come in." take Nazwa.
The two girls walked to the entrance. Just two steps walk. Acha's phone is back.
Alvinganteng_
Otw.
Acha widened her eyes. The confused Nazwa was only able to sigh once more.
"Why else is this kid?" muttered Nazwa slowly.
"Alvin otw come here," hissed Acha while showing Nazwa his phone.
"Just like this."
Acha forehead wrinkled. "Barin?!"
"Keep in for anything?" Nazwa rolled his eyes lazily. "This study is for the public."
"But it-"
"Udah, come. The hunt starts to fall." Nazwa grabbed his best friend's arm. "Don't forget the silent cell phone."

AFTER reviewing the study from Ustadz. Now comes the time for Ustadz core to fill the event.
"To Ustadz Hanan Diafhakri, it is welcome to fill out the next study" the host said.
Take a middle-aged man with his whole life to the stage. Men who still look healthy. Not only Nazwa and Acha, other study participants also participated in observing the Ustadz.
Nazwa widened his eyes. That figure was like a stranger to him. Observed once again. And ... sure you are!
It was his brother's best friend. The father of the man who proposed to her last day.
So, her best friend's an Ustadz?
Nazwa understands now. He's looking down deep. I hope his position is invisible. Because he was sitting on the front bench.
"Sstt. Why continue, woi? That's how the study started to know." Acha nudged Nazwa's arm.
"Well?!" Nazwa looked surprised.
"You why? Sick, huh?" Acha touched his best friend's forehead.
Nazwa shook his head slowly. "Not really."
Acha sighed then went back to looking at the study before him. It wasn't that Nazwa wanted to keep this a secret from Acha. But in hindsight, it felt like he was not ready to admit everything.

AFTER the study was completed, they decided to have a threesome lunch at the Cafe where Alvin worked.
Yep. Threes. Because Alvin was following the two girls after the study.
"Vin. How did you follow us earlier? Don't you have to work?" ask Nazwa.
They are still waiting for their orders.
Alvin seemed confused to answer. "Eee .. a-I .. yes, anu,"
"How come you're hinting at me anyway? Ask in lamar, huh?" alvin sarcas.
Actually he was happy, because there was another reason to divert the question of Nazwa who did not know how he should answer.
Acha's cheeks are like boiled crabs now. Said he didn't like it. But still like baper when in gombalin. Basic Acha.
"Why are your cheeks?" alvin Goda. "Oh, I know. Don't you really want me to apply, huh?" Alvin clucked. "OK deh. I will graduate and succeed."
And, the man was increasingly aggressively teasing a girl who he said was his best friend.
Nazwa just shook his head. It has become a daily food to watch the debate of these two people.
"Diem you!" acha murmur.
"Udah, no. Plump-headed. If a new soulmate knows the taste." Finally it was Nazwa who broke up.
"Nowellie!" pekik both. Unconsciously they spoke at the same time.
Acha quickly pointed at Alvin. "He started first!"
Alvin's eyeballs widened, as if they couldn't. "Have a son! You first!"
"Astaghfiullah!" geram Nazwa's. "I went to the toilet first. Pinknya, once I get here, you guys have to get along. If I have another debate, I'll go home!" nazwa said then passed to the toilet.
"Eh, Wa!" call Alvin.
The man then glanced at the cynical Acha. "For you!"
"You're guilty of me?!" Acha stood up from her sitting position.
Alvin was silent. There would be no end to arguing with this woman before him. Because according to the number one theory in the world that he has heard; that women are always right.
Acha then sat down as before. The two of them still stared at each other.
Suddenly, Nazwa's phone lying on the table lit up. Show pop-up notifications from Nazwa's Line app.
Abi💙
Assalamualaikum, deck. How did you answer about last night's match? This is the mother of Alif already asked ...
Acha and Alvin glared. They haven't finished reading it yet, but the phone is dead.
"Vin. You read, right?" ask Acha slowly.
Alvin nodded faintly. "Why didn't Nazwa tell us the same story, Cha?"
Acha replied with a sledgehammer. "Don't think negatively first. Maybe Nazwa has his own reasons, so he doesn't tell us this is the same."
Alvin laughed bitterly. "We don't have a two-week tenure, Cha. We have always been open to any problem. Why isn't Nazwa?"
"Later ask carefully," break up Acha final.
Then Nazwa came and sat down. Their orders have arrived. But Acha and Alvin were still silent to each other. Not as usual. Did they get along with the discussion? Think Nazwa.
"Cha, Vin?" call Nazwa.
Acha turned to look with an awkward smile. "Eh! Aye! You-you're a long time, anyway?"
"Why are you nervous?" nazwa asked with a frown deep.
"I .. i-"
"Why aren't you honest with us, Wa?" Alvin cut Acha's speech. Making Acha grimace and stomp on Alvin's feet with his shoes from under the table.
If normally the man would be prying, but this time he was just silent. With a deep look, looking at the food in front of them.
"You mean?" Nazwa was confused. He did not understand the direction of this conversation of his best friend.
"You're being betrothed, aren't you?" shoot Alvin directly.
The deg!
Uh! How do they know? Think Nazwa.
He then glanced at his cellphone which apparently forgot not to put in the bag. He checked it and it turned out to be true. There was a message coming in from Abi who asked about his match with a man named Alif.
"I-I'm .. I'm confused about what to do, Vin, Cha." Nazwa swallowed the salivary with great difficulty. "I want to tell you the same story, but I'm scared. I'm ashamed to tell you guys that you have to marry young."
Both of the girls eyes were glazed.
Uh! Nazwa was really afraid that his friends would be disappointed.
"You didn't give abi an answer, did you?" Now Acha is speaking.
Nazwa shook his head slowly. "I'm confused."
"See? And you didn't tell us the same about this? You can ask for our opinion. Then, what do you consider our friendship, Wa?" sambar Alvin's.
Nazwa's tears are shed. Acha immediately pulled him into her arms.
"Udah Vin!" acha Reprimand.
Alvin breathed heavily. Let the girl cry until she calms down first. Honestly, Alvin was very disappointed to know all this.
"What do I do now?" nazwa asked after feeling calm.
"Do you know that guy?" Alvin asked back.
Nazwa nodded slowly. "That time he and his cousin once cheered me on when I passed out at the stop. He also paid for my groceries when I lost Kak Upal at the Mall. And ... Last night, she came with her family. Apply me. Turns out his father was Abi's best friend."
"Thank you, Wa!" acha exclaims who got the plot from Alvin.
"Why the hell, Vin? You're jealous of Nazwa in someone else's application?" acha sewot.
"Diem you!" ketus Alvin's. "So what's your decision?"
"I'm still confused. You know for yourself I'm too young to be married. And, in three days, we're just going to the National Examination." Nazwa's tears flowed again, "but, I prayed istikharah. Although I haven't got an answer yet."
Nazwa sighed. "But on the other hand, abi was very supportive of this matchmaking, Vin, Cha. And, I don't think I want to disappoint abi."
"Yes, you have accepted it" said Alvin. "The man, God willing, is a good man. He came politely, with his family. Intention is good to invite you, not invite worship. God willing he can take care of you."
Acha nodded. Approve Alvin's remarks.
Although, no one knows. That in Alvin's chest was like being pelted with tons of rocks. Feels claustrophobic. For some reason, she did not want Nazwa to marry another man.
Nazwa breathed a heavy sigh. "But I haven't been able to escape Raka, Vin."
Get pissed off Alvin's lips. "You must forget him. Or I myself will get Raka off the face of this earth."
"Very cruel, Mas," chuckles Acha.
Nazwa closed his eyes, taking a deep breath. "I'll give the decision to them later tonight. God willing, this is the best. Pray."
Alvin nodded. "good. I concur. Whatever your decision is, that's what you have to live with. Do you know that every decision you make is going to be risky?" Nazwa. "But if one day that man makes you sad, you should say the same to me. I'm the one who's going to come forward to beat him up."
"Sok-sook!" hisses Acha.
Nazwa. "You forgot I had two handlers at once?"
Alvin grunts loudly. Makes Acha laugh win.
And Nazwa is very grateful to have been reunited with the two people who are with him now.
Seriate.
