Karma 2 (Najwa Humaira)
Chapter 53: Arunika's Love
A girl with a blue sea hijab who was increasingly giving off an aura of charisma made Abil smile thinly. Then choose retreat without wanting to say anything other than greetings that become curious. He knew the girl's gaze was still fixed on him.
"Good morning, Principal's Miss." Mr. Mahmud welcomed the girl who was busy staring at the departure of the gardener. Somewhat strange because all this time the daughter of the owner of the school has always acted very well.
Miss Love Arunika. A beautiful name with the face of an adult girl but has a lineage of ageless. He was only twenty-three years old and a few months ago began to join the school to replace his mother who is now lying in the hospital.
The school where he presided was the legacy school of his late father who held the title of a kyai. For various reasons, however, leadership was taken over by the mother. At that time, he was still studying in Cairo. So no wonder when the familiar saw Abil.
The lesson session begins. The students were busy with studying, while Abil was sweeping the front yard of the school. The young man did not forget to recite from the heart because his surroundings were filled with invisible creatures. It doesn't matter how many, but the creatures wonder.
What makes him stay where he shouldn't be? Of course as an indigo can understand how the pattern of action of the creatures. Even so does not mean going against all creatures once in a while. He is also an ordinary man.
Time passed so fast that it came to rest. The children started to leave their classrooms. So did Najwa and Emir. The two brothers will always have lunch together because they bring provisions from home. Of course the goal is just the back garden of the school.
That habit is also known to Abil. The uncle who chose to wait for the two nephews under one of the shady trees. He did not care about the tree dwellers who were busy staring at him. As long as it does not disturb, it will be left like the wind.
How will it be scared? When he saw the devil he thought of it as a kite. Strange, but even the heart is not daunted when looking at invisible creatures. Well then or now. It is like enjoying a live streaming movie. Less is more like that.
"Assalamu'alaikum, can you sit next to me?" The soft greeting voice distracted Abil who immediately turned towards him. A smile became a warm welcome, "If you don't mind, Mas."
The girl sat next to Abil but put her food in the middle as a barrier. There is an unspeakable sense of pleasure in the heart. It was his inflamed feeling of wanting to find a thirst-quenching relief. Destiny brought them back together again. I don't know what dream last night but who was obviously grateful.
"When will you return to Indonesia?" The two hands were intertwined with a sense of unworthiness.
Abil was silent for a moment to give Love a chance to express what was disturbing the girl's mind. After all, the two of them are not muhrim who must guard themselves from the temptation of shethan. Moreover, surrounded by creatures who clearly like to tease the faith of humans.
"Not too long, what about you? I hope you've had better." replied Abil politely without looking at his side, making Love who occasionally steals a look of embarrassment.
"Alhamdulillah mother is better, Mas." replied Love with half the truth because the condition of her mother is getting worse.
The conversation halted due to the arrival of Emir and Najwa. Where the brothers looked at his uncle seriously. A question that does not have to be asked but can get an answer right away. Well because curiosity is clearly in sight.
"He, a college friend and the occupant of the boarding room next to my room while doing a mass internship." explained Abil without saying stale.
