Mahabbah Love Khalisa

106

After a few days in the evacuation area, Khalisa was able to return home alternately with other volunteers. The state of the house was quite chaotic due to ash rain, but fortunately the house was still standing upright because the building was new. That means Khalisa and Azfan have to spend longer to clean the felt.

The fine ash went through a small crack into the house so they had to clean it with a vacuum cleaner. The tool was so useful that they almost never used a broom.

The wall clock shows at 11pm when they are done cleaning everything including washing bed linen, blankets, curtains and tablecloths. They replace it with a new one.

"Would you take a shower together?" Azfan picked up 2 new towels from the closet.

"But if you take a shower together it's longer."

"No, dear dong." Not if bathing together will actually shorten the time.

"Yes, last time we took a bath together, we've been in the bathroom."

Azfan stepped over to Khalisa who was wiping the goods on the dressing table.

"Dear." Azfan rubbed Khalisa's arm, "but we're not taking a long shower."

"Who did the old one do?" Khalisa smiled at Azfan.

The question made Azfan's face flushed to the ear, he could not answer it. Azfan was confused to choose what sentence did not sound embarrassing. Come on, there are only two of them in this house, why should Azfan be ashamed.

"Come, I'll help you shampoo and massage Haura's head."

"Mas, but I didn't intend to shampoo this morning."

"I'll make Haura shampoo this afternoon."

Khalisa held a smile, there was only reason to take her shower together. But actually Khalisa did not intend to reject Azfan's invitation. Khalisa just wanted to tempt the husband even though in the end Khalisa was tempted.

"Haura's nails are also long, it just so happens to be Monday."

Azfan applied the teachings of the Prophet in everyday life including small things that began to be forgotten. Such as cutting nails on the day of destruction, namely Monday, Thursday and Friday. Or enter the bathroom with your left foot and exit with your right foot.

After his marriage Khalisa learned a lot from Azfan. Previously Khalisa only did certain sunnah such as sunnah rawatib prayer, dhuha prayer or tahajjud. But after marriage, almost their activity refers to the habits of the Prophet. Instilling love to Allah and Allah's Messenger shallahu alaihi wa sallam will make their households more peaceful and bring blessings.

People out there may think that Azfan is lucky to be married to Daniel Alindra's eldest son. But in fact Khalisa who feels very lucky, Azfan is someone who makes Khalisa always feel closer to the Maha Cinta.

"Yes, come on." Khalisa gave up, he couldn't have teased Azfan for longer.

Azfan prepared a basin filled with warm water and bath salt and tea tree essential oil to soak Khalisa's feet. Azfan was accustomed to the ritual of bathing Khalisa is adding bath salt into the actual water until now he did not know what the function of the salt. Especially for soaking the legs, Azfan added tea tree oil.

"I'm sorry, my mother." Khalisa dipped his feet into the basin that Azfan had prepared.

"No boy?" Azfan rubbed Khalisa's feet with the warm water.

"Great boy, kayaking in the salon." Although Khalisa has never cut his nails in the salon, he estimates the salon service is similar to what Azfan does.

"Haura is always soaking with this brand's bath salt, what are the benefits?"

"In fact, any brand of bath salt functions the same Mas, making relax as stiff and healthier also for the skin, it's a product that has a cement Papa so I use it continuously." Khalisa chuckled, he did not pay too much attention to a particular brand. It was just a brand that had always been in Khalisa's bathroom since childhood so he had always used it until now.

Khalisa needed to soak his feet for about 10 minutes before Azfan cut off his nails.

"I can still cut my own nails."

"But it's hard to get me to cut it, Haura has taken our baby everywhere and it's my job." Azfan cut off Khalisa's toenails carefully as well as his fingernails.

Now Khalisa knows Azfan's sweet attitude is very similar to Kirana. They were both so sweet that they touched Khalisa. It feels like Khalisa does not have in-laws but two wonderful biological mothers. The mother who gave birth to Khalisa and the mother who gave birth to Khalisa's husband.

Instead of cutting his nails, Khalisa helped Azfan wash his hair and massage it.

"The stitches are still visible." Khalisa felt a stitch scar on Azfan's head from a fallen tree branch during the ospek opening ceremony 2 years ago.

"Maybe you can't go away dear because if in the head hard to give medicine."

"If it happened, I panicked." Khalisa shook his head strongly to dismiss the memory of the incident.

Azfan smiled, for some reason he remembered when Rindang said that Khalisa liked him. Azfan was pounding considering the times when he and Khalisa were still timid to say their feelings. Until now Azfan did not say that Rindang had told him about Khalisa's feelings.

"I've never fainted before, it's the first time." Azfan chuckled, the wound on his head actually left a good impression on his mind. "I just heard Haura calling my name and everything was dark and silent."

"It was fortunate that Mas Azfan could go straight home that day." Khalisa is peeing at Azfan.

"Thank you Haura." Azfan stretched his hand upwards to touch Khalisa's chin. "From a long time ago until now Haura always took care of me."

After bathing Azfan went to the mosque to pray duhur congregation while Khalisa pray at home. The most pleasure Azfan felt after moving to a new place is the distance of the mosque quite close from it. Only about 5 minutes from home on foot.

That afternoon Khalisa and Azfan visited the Alindra Beauty factory in Yogyakarta. Khalisa's first product remains to be researched further, Khalisa will issue anti-strechmark cream after she gives birth later. He wanted to see if the cream was really effective at preventing strechmarks.

"Wouldn't have thought that the factory that I used to pass by turned out to have a Haura family." Azfan looked around, the room was full of white. They also use special clothing to enter the factory complete with masks.

"Alindra Beauty is led by Ai Aisyah, in addition to having talent in fashion and management, Ai is also proficient in the world of body care." Obviously Khalisa while going deeper into the factory. "If Mas did not know, Mama used to work at Ai Aisyah's boutique and there the beginning of Mama met Papa."

Behind his mask Azfan smiled, the love story of Daniel and Ica always sounded sweet if told.

"If I meet Mas Azfan at Mangan Gelato and it will be a historic place for me."

"For me too, by the way I have never asked Haura what she thought when I first met her."

"Let's tell me when we get home, it's not good here." Khalisa went ahead even though Azfan was very curious about Khalisa's views when they first met.

They see the process of making shampoo and soap Alindra Beauty is always a best seller because it is suitable for all circles. Soap is also liked by Marwah.

"Good day, Ci Khalisa." One of the employees approached Khalisa.

"Siang Bu Karin, this is my husband Mas Azfan." Khalisa introduced Azfan to the employee named Karin.

"Good day, Azfan." Karin also greeted Azfan while reviewing the smile behind her mask, despite knowing his smile was invisible but he still did.

Azfan replied to her with a nod and a faint smile.

Karin invites Khalisa and Azfan to sit in the corner of the room to be more free to talk about the products they will launch later.

"Sample strechmark cream do we want to send Ci again?"

"Just get back from here and I'll bring the samples."

"Are there any ingredients that Ci needs to revise?"

"Because we use a minimum of ingredient so the cream has almost no aroma, what if we add just a little floral aroma such as roses or maybe Bu Karin has another fragrance reference?"

"Maybe we can add a fresh bergamot aroma, many people like it."

"Haura, may I propose?" Azfan interrupted.

"May you love." Khalisa.

"Some people are allergic to bergamot, what if Haura makes two variants."

"Good idea Mas, so we make a variant without aroma and another one with the addition of bergamot essential."

"Mas Azfan said, because bergamot causes allergic reactions to some people so we have to add other essentials." Karin sees Azfan amazed to find out about it. Though Karin knows Azfan lecture has nothing to do with fragrances let alone the content of certain ingredients.

"What Ci Khalisa wants to try to make, happens we have essential bergamot and lavender."

"Can." Khalisa moved from his seat, he was eager to make a cream with additional aroma. "Mas Azfan won't come?"

"I'm here, just looking at the others." Azfan rubbed Khalisa's arm for a moment.

"Well, I'll stay a while." Khalisa permits to go to another room with Karin and two other employees.

Meanwhile Azfan went to the packing section, coming directly to the Alindra Beauty factory was a new experience for him. He even participated in making one of the products here. All the process is done by the machine, the factory employee is only in charge of operating the machine.

Khalisa's smile was as bright as a rose when he came out of the Alindra Beauty factory with a jar of strechmark cream samples. Because this time Khalisa added the essential bergamot and lavender he became impatient to try it later tonight.

"I want to try it too." Every night Azfan rubbed the cream into Khalisa's stomach and it made him wonder what it was like to wear the cream.

"But Azfan can't use a cream like this."

"Later apply it to my stomach too, I wonder what it's like."

Khalisa laughed, "yes, you're pregnant again cravings must be followed."

"Oh yeah, Haura said she'd tell me about our first meeting."

"The first time I met, I saw the name tag Mas and immediately like a pretentious person, surely Mas Azfan was shocked at that time."

Azfan laughed because Khalisa's guess was right.

"What amazes me is that Mas Azfan was the first left-handed person I met and Mas Azfan's writing was very good, Masha Allah is lucky now that he is my husband." Khalisa wants to embrace Azfan now but her husband is focusing on the streets.

"Actually before Mas Fendi returned to Jepara, he was told that there would be customers who always order Butterscotch Vanilla, she is beautiful and super friendly like everyone, her name is Khalisa, Khalisa Syanin Alindra." Azfan's eyes sparkled considering his conversation with Fendi at that time. "When Haura mentioned her full name at that time, I was a little surprised because—" Azfan gave a moment's pause.

"Because what?" Khalisa twisting his body put his ears well afraid if Azfan's sentence is missed.

"Because Haura is so pretty that I don't dare to look at her for long." Azfan never dared to stare for long as Khalisa's beauty would be reduced if he did.

Khalisa blushed to hear Azfan's praise, he held his cheek that felt hot.

"But when Levin's brother came I immediately thought that you were lovers because Haura looked very familiar with Levin's sister."

"I think of Ko Levin as Koko I am."

"But luckily Haura became my lover otherwise, maybe now I just dare to look at Haura from afar or even dare not look."

Khalisa developed a gentle smile rubbing Azfan's arm. With all the complicated feelings that inhabit their hearts, the two can finally unite in the sacred bond of marriage. The next few months of their togetherness will be complemented by the presence of the baby who dreamed long ago.

It has been a month since a 7.0 scalarichter earthquake rocked Central Java province. The roads began to be repaired and returned to normal. Mount Merapi activity is normal, BMKG has lowered its activity to level 1. People return to their homes and carry out activities as usual. Likewise with teaching and learning activities.

It has been more than a month since Kafa met Mahira on the college basketball court and to this day Kafa has not seen the instalment of the girl's nose. Kafa deliberately wanders around the FIAI class, because he wants to meet Azfan even though he wants to meet Mahira. Did he miss that girl? No. gabe. Kafa only felt that there was something strange about his life because there was no Mahira who used to bully him.

Where's Mahira?

Is Kafa fascinated by Mahira's change in appearance because of her wide headscarf? No. gabe. Is not the hijab of Rindang wider than Mahira. Kafa should have been more fascinated by Rindang's appearance. Uhh! Kafa ruffled his hair frustrated at not understanding his current feelings.

When he was about to leave the class, Mahira was surprised to see the figure of Kafa. It felt strange to see that haughty guy near his class. As if there were fireworks exploding inside Mahira's chest, nothing changed from the man's appearance. Mahira searched around for what made Kafa look different today. Kafa's clothes were still as usual as were his shoes. Ah right, Kafa's hairstyle looks different. It is not fair, Kafa only slightly changed his hairstyle but his good looks increased by dozens of times. Mahira is not more.

"Where's mahira?"

Mahira glared to hear Kafa looking for her. He walked over to Kafa and his classmate.

"You're looking for me?" Mahira came out from behind the door.

Kafa was surprised to hear Mahira's voice, he rubbed his neck which suddenly goosebumps. Mahira is like a ghost whose arrival makes Kafa goosebumps.

"No." Kafa shakes.

"I heard you just found me." Mahira folds her hands in front of her chest.

Mahira's friend immediately left there because smelling the scent of debate was about to happen.

"Wrong time, where may I find you." Kafa is prestigious to say it when especially the goal is sitting in front of here if not looking for Mahira. Kafa is not Khalisa who knows a lot of people.

"Yes already." Mahira turned around to pass from there when in fact he wanted to see Kafa longer. But he had to hold back, didn't Kafa dislike his nature.

"Eh, wait!" Kafa moved, he did not want his wait to be in vain. Kafa's been walking pretty far from his class here. Although the sense of prestige is mountainous but not the mountain can also erupt at any time.

"Otherwise?" Mahira put on a judes face, as Kafa used to do to her.

"I'm looking for you!" Kafa cried bitterly because he had to be frank.

Mahira smiled, Kafa finally admitted it.

"But not GR yet, I'm here to return your food box." Add it before making Mahira's ears bloom because of the GR-ness.

"Where?" Mahira looked up at his hand, when in fact Kafa did not need to return the box. It turns out that Khalisa and Kafa have something in common, namely washing the disposable lunch box.

"There's." Kafa was looking for an excuse because he didn't bring the box now.

"Where?" Mahira looked at Kafa, he did not see the food box in Kafa's hands.

"In the car." Kafa hopes to find the box in his car even though it is impossible because last saw it Mahira's box is on the kitchen shelf. There was no way the food box would suddenly float in Kafa's car.

"Well, where's your car parked?"

"Ordinary place."

They walked hand in hand through a crowded corridor by other students. Kafa brainwashed how to make Mahira forget about the box.

"You why haven't been seen lately—I mean you're usually always killing me."

"It's not you yourself who said, I look beautiful when I go out in front of you so I never show up again."

Kafa belied in disbelief, so therefore Mahira never met him. Kafa was exaggerated at the time but he did not mean to offend Mahira.

"Are you stupid anyway?" As Kafa, "so you think that makes sense?"

"Ng .. doesn't make sense, but if you say it makes sense."

"Mahira-Mahira, not all this time you have never heard my words but why suddenly my sentence that you participate?"

"But we don't have any more business, do we?"

Kafa was shocked, why did Mahira talk like that as if she did not want to see him again.

"Nothing, so we don't have to see you again, do we?" Kafa's dead red face restrained his anger, he didn't think that Mahira would say that. "Then I go." Kafa hastened the pace of leaving Mahira.

"So she said she'd go back to my food box?" Mahira saw Kafa's back getting further away. Why did it suddenly go so when Kafa himself took her to the car park.

"Not so! I threw it out!" Shouted Kafa without looking back. It was Mahira who thought she could treat Kafa like that. Kafa does not want Mahira to trample on his pride.
