Khadijah the Angel of My Heaven

Chapter 9. There's No News

"Wa'alaikumsalam. sis, it's usual to sulk him again," said Alia smiling wryly.

Azril immediately parked his car on the side of the road and approached Alia.

"Here let me be real first," Azril took Alia's bike and put it in the back of the car.

"Eh, what's not a hassle, sister?" Alia feels bad.

"No trouble, just calm down! The day is not dark either. About expertise no doubt, I'm studying mechanical engineering anyway."

"Yes, sister" Alia was speechless in astonishment.

This guy is really versatile and perfect, he thought. And he felt more and more inferior to Azril.

"Where'd this go?" asked Azril who is still focused on improving Alia's motorbike.

"Since nganterin kemen kak work, the motor again in the workshop because."

"Working victory?" ask again.

"Working and high school friends first,"

"Oh!" answer Azril briefly.

"Where did you end up?" ask Alia.

"Out of Abah, give me my CV to give to you." replied Azril lightly.

Alia was tense.

"Ah that, did you read my CV?" alia asked hesitantly with embarrassment.

"Thank you for starting first. I'm actually surprised because it's the first time this is invited ta'aruf a woman, usually I take ta'aruf first." honestly Azril.

Alia fell silent, she tangented to what to respond.

Actually Azril did not mean to underestimate Alia, he was instead amazed at the girl, the girl was open and what she was.

In contrast to Alia, she felt very embarrassed inviting Azril to ta'aruf first. It feels like he just wants to disappear to the bottom of the earth, even though he had never dated before, let alone ta'aruf with a man. But if he does not try and try he will regret it himself, so he does not care about the results later, the important thing is to pray and be sure.

"However the result will be, I hope it will not affect our friendship, Ma'am," said Azril.

"Well!" Alia's daydreams fell away instantly, " Uh yes, sister, just calm down. I accept my brother's decision with a big chest." said Alia smiled stiffly.

"I haven't decided yet Ma'am, be patient, yes" Azril smiled amiably.

"I.. Yes Brother," Alia grew nervous and threw her face away in every direction.

"It's over, let's try it first."

When Azril tried Alia's motorbike, the motor could turn on again and Alia was sparkling happily.

"Thank you, brother!"

"Together Al,"

"Then I say go home first, Brother, already want this magrib adzan."

"Yes Al, be careful on the road! Here's my business card, save it if you need help" Azril said as he offered his card.

"Okay, thank you very much." Alia reflex clutched the card on her chest and smiled happily.

Azril smiled and nodded back to Alia.

Then they went home to each other's homes.

Two weeks later..

Alia did not meet Azril at all, even she deliberately came on Sundays also in order to meet with Azril, but in fact already twice Sunday Azril did not come to teach children in boarding schools.

When Alia asked Umi Mutia, she also did not know about Azril's news. If to ask Azril's mother, Umi Mutia was also too reluctant.

Alia was increasingly agitated and thought that Azril had deliberately avoided her and rejected her subtly. He knew if in the end the result would be this, he would definitely be rejected and heartbroken. But it is undeniable that he really hopes to have a Sholeh man, even though his expectations are only 1.

Every third of the night, he wept at God, asking God that his heart be firm and sincere in accepting all the harsh realities. He entrusts himself to God, following wherever destiny will take him. But one thing he believed, if indeed he did not match Azril, God would have prepared a better soul mate for him.

One afternoon, at Pak Hamid's Bakery, Alia was working as usual.

"Al, please deliver the cake to this address, because our customer this one is the owner of one of the famous restaurants, take care of the cake! Do not get any defects, so the safest you ride grab aja," ordered Uncle Hamid.

"Every uncle! I will take care of this cake with all my body and soul!" alia said as if she was going to a dangerous place.

"That's your grand drama Al! Go there!"

"Hehehe, yes uncle!"

Alia immediately darted away to the restaurant address given by her uncle.

After arriving at the luxurious restaurant, Alia immediately met the restaurant clerk and gave her Boss an order.

When going out of the luxurious restaurant, Alia's eyes caught the figure of the man who had been disturbing her mind, the man she missed so much.

"Oh so because of that woman, Mr. Azril avoided me, so it's like it's a broken heart." Alia's heart suddenly felt tight and sore, "O Allah why it hurts so much, it hurts too much to see her with others" murmured Alia with teary eyes.

He immediately came out of the luxurious restaurant because he could not see the man he loved sitting and familiar with other women.

While Azril who accidentally saw Alia out of the restaurant, then immediately chased after the girl with a smile that continued to expand. I don't know why it feels so good to see that girl again.

Alia was standing under the tree on the side of the road waiting for her order grab to come, her heart was not fine. He wanted to fly so that he would quickly get to work and cry happily in the bathroom.

"Assynolajet.. Sister Alia,"

Azril's voice suddenly sounded from behind.

"Was.. Alaikumsalam.. Brother," Alia was surprised.

"How are you doing, Ma'am?" azril asked with a sweet smile, she looked at the girl full of longing.

"Alhamdulillah good brother, brother himself how are you?"

"Thank God I'm good too, sorry I didn't tell you two weeks ago and we couldn't meet, because I had to visit several cities to review the new factory that was going to be built."

"Yes, it's okay I can understand."

"Eh how's the boarding school?" ask Azril.

"Thank God everything is fine sister, everyone there misses sister." replied Alia.

"Thank God I'm happy if everything's okay. Insyallah if my work is loose I will come to the cottage again, I also miss Abah, Umi and the students." said Azril.

"Yes, uh I'm back, brother! The grab is coming" said Alia.

"Wait!" Azril reflex held onto Alia's arm to prevent her from leaving.

Alia was reflex to see his arm that was held by Azril, although not touching the skin directly but able to make the heart both beat uncharacteristically.

"Astaghfirullah Hal'adhim.. Sorry I didn't intentionally!" Azril immediately distanced his hand from Alia's arm when he noticed it.

"It's okay, sister," Alia smiled sweetly.

"Let me drive you to the store?" bargain Azril.

"But I already have a message grab sis, sorry yes!"

Then Azril gave two hundred thousand bills to the father of the grab and canceled Alia's order.

"So, why is it cancelled?"

"I think it's important that I compensate for his loss, so that he can find another passenger. All right now you can't refuse me anter anymore, just think of it as making up for my mistake that didn't give you any news at all these two weeks,"

Azril's words immediately made Alia flowery, she wondered why the man felt guilty when he did not give her news, even though they were not prospective fiancees or married couples.

"Eh then what was the candidate for Azril? Will it be just like that?" said Alia who just remembered that Azril was with the woman he thought his future wife and remember that he was not excited anymore.

"No, she's not my future wife Al. He's just my staff, I didn't just come with him but with two more men, so just let them back alone, we had two cars with us." Azril.

And while making Alia's heart so relieved, she thought there was still hope to take another step forward, she would try and make sure everything was clear, she said, so whatever the result later he will receive with chest roomy.

And finally, Alia was escorted Azril back to work and after Azril returned to work again.

**

On Friday Azril visited the boarding school, and again did not see Alia there.

Azril also ventured to ask Alia's whereabouts to Umi Mutia, and Umi said that Alia was sick and could not come today. Umi also said if the children are disappointed because there is no cake and Alia cuisine. While Umi himself is not so good at cooking let alone making cakes.

And in the end, Azril ordered food and cakes to be eaten with Abah, Umi, and the Santri.

They are very happy and grateful to their idol Ustadz.

And the night Azril returned with a slightly disappointed feeling.

After Azril's departure, Umi Mutia immediately contacted Alia who was lying weakly on her bedroom bed.

Umi says that Azril is looking for him, so Umi encourages Alia to get well soon and meet Azril again.

While Alia smiled happily, although she did not know how the man actually felt to her, but she was glad that the man asked her whereabouts.

**

On Sunday Afternoon..

Alia comes to Azril's house, she wants to meet with Bu Hajjah Fatimah and Pak Haji Faruq personally. This was the first time he had ever been to a man's house. There was a feeling of fear, shame, awkwardness and others, as if gathering together as one inside his chest.

"Assynoltomodel.." Alia said her greetings as she entered the main door and a servant approached her.

"Wa'alaikum.. Warahmatullahi.. Tabarakatuh.. What is it, miss?" ask the waiter

"Hm.. I want to meet Mrs Hajjah Fatimah, is she home?" alia asked hesitantly.

"Some, please sit down, miss. Let me call." said the waiter and Alia nodded and sat down on the luxurious sofa in the mansion.
