Mahabbah Love Khalisa

111

Kafa stepped wide through the crowded corridor by other students who also just left the class. They were busy talking about the announcement of the newly released MTQ race by the committee. Kafa had no intention of eavesdropping but their speech was forced to rush into his sense of hearing.

Kafa took out his phone and opened the campus website to see the announcement.

"Gee!" Exciting Kafa spontaneously saw the name of Mahira nangkring in the champion hope 1, he thought Mahira would only get a charter award as a participant but it turned out Mahira was able to win the race despite only hope 1.

"If the road is not while looking at hp, it will hit people angry."

Kafa raised his face hearing someone reprimanding him, who else would dare to say that if not Mahira. Kafa immediately put on a cold face while putting the phone in his pants pocket.

"Congratulations on your victory, I think you can only babble turns out to have qiroah talent as well."

Mahira tried to put on as flat an expression as possible even though her heart was filled with flowers blooming like sakura in spring. Hundreds of butterflies also reached the branch of the cherry tree urgently filled Mahira's stomach. What kind of feeling is this?

"I don't really have talent but because I practice a lot."

"But your voice was pretty good at the time."

How much did he say? So not very good then?

"Where are you going?" Mahira asked, "want to go home?"

"Why? want hitchhiking? can't."

"Who wants to ride, I've bought a bike so it won't ride you anymore."

"Oh." Kafa oh ria. Was he disappointed? of course not, is it not good if Mahira will not ride Kafa anymore.

"Come with you to the parking lot." Mahira goes first, Kafa hesitates to go with Mahira but eventually follows her steps.

"Which bike are you?" Ask Kafa when he gets in the parking lot.

"The red one." Mahira pointed to one of the bikes parked among the other bikes. "Again charge anyway, hopefully the power is full."

Kafa wants to buy a bike like that but he can't ride it. Since childhood Kafa never learned to ride any type of bike, either a paddle bike, electric bike let alone a motorcycle. Khalisa was only able to ride a bike after going to college. Looks like Kafa should learn after this.

"Why did you see my bike? wanna ride?" Mahira narrowed her eyes looking at Kafa full of probing.

"No." Kafa shook his head, "I'm back first." He passed from there leaving Mahira in his car.

"Say I want to, a lot of prestige." Mahira sneered as she stepped towards her parked bicycle not far from where she was standing just now.

Kafa should have gone straight back to the apartment after college but this afternoon he turned his car towards Khalisa's shophouse. He wants to learn to ride a bike with Azfan. Kafa doesn't want Mahira to mock him if he finds out he can't ride a bike.

Some teenagers were memorizing the Qur'an on the first floor of the shophouse when Kafa got there. Kafa said his greetings in a soft voice fearing to disturb them. It seems that Kafa will have to wait until Azfan finishes the guidance.

"Cece in the kitchen, Kafa." Azfan said after answering his greetings.

Kafa nodded his head towards the kitchen even though he actually had a need with Azfan. But Kafa can't wait there.

Khalisa seemed to be busy stirring something on the frying pan to his back at the kitchen door. The smell of fried chicken smelled as Kafa stepped closer and closer.

"Gee!" Khalisa screeched as the spatula in his hand slipped off, he reflexively dodged but the hot oil splashed slightly against his leg. Khalisa looked down but for nothing, he could not take the spatula lying on the floor.

Kafa immediately took the spatula, making Khalisa surprised because of his sudden arrival.

"Why, when did you come?" Khalisa took a new spatula.

"Must." Kafa puts the spatula in his hand into the dishwasher. "Be careful dong Ce."

"Udah be careful, but the spatula is not to be held." Khalisa laughed at the end of his sentence, "dinner here is the same as the children in front."

"Why didn't Cece use ART?" Kafa is not able to see Khalisa cooking, cleaning the house, taking care of her husband and college at the same time, not to mention that now Khalisa also has to start plunging into caring for Alindra Beauty. Why Khalisa should do that.

Khalisa smiled before answering Kafa's question, he raised the brownish chicken and moved it to a tissue-filled plate.

"Why should Cece use ART?

"Cece has to cook, clean the house, go to college and work alone especially now that Ce Khalisa is pregnant."

"Cece can still handle all the kok anyways Mas Azfan always help Cece and Cece sincerely ngelakuin everything, this is not as you imagine Kafa." Khalisa turned off the stove after moving all the chickens to the plate.

Highlighting Kafa's cold eyes like a tiger ready to pounce on its prey, he could clearly see Khalisa's exhausted face. But Khalisa always said that he could handle everything alone or alone with Azfan. Kafa can do nothing but pretend to believe Khalisa's words. The house is not as beautiful as it looks.

"I want to learn to ride a bike." Kafa leaned his body into the kitchen island.

"Suddenly, what's up?"

"Just want to learn the same Mas Azfan, only he has a bicycle."

"I haven't asked Mas Azfan what he wants."

"Will definitely." Khalisa knew very well Azfan could not refuse Kafa's request. "Tomorrow in the morning if you are now afraid of the afternoon, let you be more satisfied to learn it."

"okay." Mangosteen kafa.

Kafa has a strong determination to be able to ride a bike because in front of Mahira he has to be a guy who can everything. Kafa already felt he had an advantage in everything but after seeing Mahira's bike earlier, he only realized that he could not ride the sepeds. Ah Kafa should have learned to ride a bike since childhood in order to. Now it feels like Kafa lost a quarter of his confidence. Just because Mahira can both bike and Kafa can't.

"God willing, Alhamdulillah can already memorize juz 30." Ustadzah Hafsah praised Rindang who made the memorization deposit today.

Shady smiled shyly, he was not the type of person who easily blushed. In the past, although there were many men who praised the beauty of Rindang in front of him directly, Rindang never blushed let alone misbehaved. But when Hafsah who is the teacher of the female members of the converts community, Rindang could not resist the pounding in his heart.

"New juz 30 Ustadzah instead of 30 juz." Rindang chuckled, fortunately he was wearing a veil so no one could see a red tinge on his cheek.

"That's been good, hopefully after this more diligent reading of the Qur'an, memorizing and applying it in everyday life, we should be proud because we have the Qur'an that has governed all human life."

"Thank you, I was lucky to meet Ustadzah."

"Not Rindang, I'm the lucky one to meet you, I learned a lot from you." Hafsah grasped Rindang's hand, he also learned a lot from other converts who studied every day in this place.

Leafy leaves provide an opportunity for others to memorize. This activity becomes fun for Rindang, sometimes he also muroja'ah with Khalisa and Azfan in their home. Rindang felt that she was the luckiest woman because she had a friend like Khalisa who, although they were different, Khalisa always appreciated that.

Rindang grabbed his bag and out of the room, he could not wait to read the letter he just memorized during prayer later. Every day Rindang wants to memorize a new letter because sometimes feel bored with the same letter, although in fact he should not feel like it. But the boredom of Rindang also became a spirit sprint so that he was more active in memorizing.

"Thunder!"

Shady turned around hearing someone calling him.

"Jason." I saw Jason approaching him. "You're here too?"

"Yes." Yeah."

Shady mangosteen, he did not know what to behave in front of Jason. Rindang didn't want to talk to Jason.

Levin was about to get out but after seeing Rindang talk to Jason, he spontaneously stopped his steps. Levin couldn't hear what they were talking about and didn't want to know that's why he didn't step into the yard because his car was parked right next to Rindang's. Levin hopes he still has a chance to get Rindang married one day.

"Rindang, I've converted."

"Wo zidhao." I know, So what?

"I want to improve myself to deserve to marry you."

"Thank you for doing that, even now you deserve but sorry—I don't necessarily want to." Rindang put his bag in the car seat. "Don't make me your excuse to improve because you'll be disappointed later, make God your only excuse."

"Rindang, but during the courtship I've treated you well even as your photographer." Jason's face turned grim, he did not like to hear the phrase Rindang.

Rindang closed his eyes withholding emotions, he always wanted to pay for Jason's photography services but the guy always refused.

"Thank you so much Jason, you're so good with me, may God repay your kindness because I can't repay all that kindness, I'll pay for your photography services." Rindang still said in a flat tone so as not to offend Jason.

"I don't need money, you know that." Jason has lived well. "At the same time we always use your camera."

Well that knows, keep on what the problem is?

"You want a wedding?"

Jason nodded.

"Is that not excessive, you treated me well for a year but I have to repay you by serving you for a lifetime?"

"The shade isn't what I meant,"

"Stop Jason." Rindang immediately got into his car, he had expressed all his head to Jason. There's nothing else he should talk to Jason about.

After Rindang's car was not seen, Levin immediately stepped towards his car. Jason was still glued to where he stood, he still could not accept the words of Rindang.

"Let's go home." Levin pats Jason on the back.

"Yes Vin." Jason put on a forced smile. Do you hear the voice of Jason's heart that was broken into pieces after getting rejected Rindang.

Jason didn't run the car immediately. Jason clung his forehead to the steering wheel digesting every word Rindang said just now. Jason felt that Rindang had changed a lot since they broke up. Why is Rindang so haughty that it doesn't even give Jason the chance to come back. Though Jason has gone so far to pursue Rindang.

Do I have to go back?

Everything you do is in vain, Jason.
