Mahabbah Love Khalisa

121

This morning the sun shines so bright as to be happy for Mahira and Kafa who will soon hold an engagement event. Four cars from the Kafa family's side have filled Mahira's courtyard.

At first glance, the appearance of Kafa family members looks much different. Kafa's brother from his abi wore a wide headscarf even wearing a veil, it was a stark contrast to the style of clothing of the family members from Aisyah's side.

Previously Aisyah had also told that Mahira should not forget that Kafa comes from a mixed family of Javanese and Chinese. So Mahira must get used to living in the midst of differences after marrying Kafa later.

"Don't tense." Azfan whispered to Kafa as he got out of the car.

Kafa did not reply, if Azfan told him now then it was too late because he had been tense since from the apartment.

"Sinyo, lengjing xialai, yiqie duhui hao qilai de." Samuel—, one of Kafa's brothers, also tried to calm Kafa, who had not spoken a word. He said everything would be fine, after all they have arrived here.

"Relax Nyo, it's not here to cancel the proposal." The other one made a laugh.

Kafa just laughed insipidly, his om joke was not funny at all according to him.

"If Om see from his picture, your future wife wide eyes, pinter you choose a partner."

"It just so happens, Om think I choose a pair see the shape of his eyes?" Kafa finally made a sound.

They are welcome to enter the living room. There are no special decorations because they do hold the event simply.

Mahira looks dazzling with mocca and khimar gamis dress in matching color. Mahira only uses thin makeup from her brother's hand because she does not have the skills to use make-up. Mahira does not want to take the risk if his face will look like a clown if he tries to use his own make-up.

Kafa who saw Mahira could not take his eyes off, in his heart he grumbled why there should be a proposal event like this. Why they don't just marry.

Kafa's heart rumbled like Mount Merapi which had erupted a while ago. But this rumble only Kafa could hear it. Mahira walked over and sat down beside her mother. The views of Mahira and Kafa meet and are locked for a while. Mahira pursed her lips tightly afraid that she could not control herself and uttered a strange sentence in front of her family and the extended Kafa family that came today.

Mahira did not know most of the Kafa family, only Khalisa and Azfan were no strangers in his eyes.

Mahira remembers the first time she saw Kafa when they were following Ta'aruf's charm. Kafa becomes the brightest freshman among the others so Mahira can find him right away. Mahira's eyes are the smartest to find a handsome guy.

"Geez don't miss college here, a lot of handsome guys." One of Mahira's friends whispered. They were lined up in the field with other freshmen to follow Ta'aruf's charm.

"You want to go to college or find your girlfriend?" Mahira grumbling.

"Let's see that guy over there."

"Thou shameless not to be called." Mahira let down her friend's hand, "if I think the most handsome one is she, who again loves welcome." He pointed to a narrow-eyed man who was giving a speech as a representative of new students with his chin.

"But baby he's not one of our majors."

"I don't care what matters is that he's my husband." Mahira rolled her eyes.

"Woy wake up, dream you're Mahira's height!"

Mahira laughs at getting a punch on her arm hard enough, enough to wake her up from delusion.

One day Mahira ventured to greet Kafa in the parking lot. That day Mahira did not bring her bike, she tried to talk to Kata to ride the guy's car. But Mahira was surprised because it turns out Kafa is not a friendly person, on the contrary he is very fierce but Mahira is not afraid at all. Mahira actually increasingly wants to be friends with the fierce Kafa.

Mahira did not expect that his celebration at that time would soon become a reality.

"Don't keep looking at it." Mahira's mother whispered because her son had been looking at Kafa for too long.

Mahira blinked her eyes from her long daydream of Kafa.

Umar said his greetings for the beginning and said the purpose of their arrival here. The other Mahira brothers were initially surprised when they saw Umar getting out of the car. They did not expect that a man who had proposed to Mahira was the son of a famous ustadz. Umar was often invited to study in Central Java so he was a familiar figure for them.

"Bismil was bornrahmanirrahim, I came here Inshaa Allah with good intentions, I hope that Father and Mother bless our relationship, there is no other purpose I want to ask for the daughter of Father and Mother," Kafa looked straight at Mahira's father and mother. "Mahira Atiqah to be my life partner."

"How's Mahira?" Mahira saw the princess.

No, sir, I'm still very sane to accept Kafa. How handsome again today.

"Bismil was bornrahmanirrahim, yes, I am willing." Mahira commented a big smile, her eyes glazed over as she said the short sentence. He did not expect that he would reach this stage before he finished college.

"Bismilahbornrahmanirrahim." Aisyah pinned the ring on Mahira's ring finger. A time like this Aisyah remembered when she did something similar to Ica first. Aisyah learned from her parents who did not approve of Daniel and Ica's relationship, she should not do such things to her children. Therefore when Kafa says he is in love, Aisyah immediately supports the decision of the child to propose to Mahira. Aisyah believes that a woman who has made Kafa fall in love is no ordinary girl.

"Thank you Ummi." Mahira kisses Aisyah's hand.

"May your relationship be smooth and always be guided by Allah." Aisha hugged Mahira.

Mahira assures Aisha's prayers in her heart, for some reason her tears suddenly melt as Aisyah embraces her. Mahira feels like a real mother's embrace.

Various dishes and fruits were presented in front of them. Mr Mahira said the fruits came from their own gardens.

"May the food fit on the tongue." Said Mahira's mother.

"It certainly fits, our tongues are also Javanese tongues really." Reply Ariel, he is Aisyah's cousin who at first glance looks like Khalisa.

"Azka's carrying Abi yuk." Azfan was about to take over Azka who was asleep in Khalisa's arms.

"It's okay, Abi just eat."

"Replace, Umma must have been a pegel from earlier carrying Azka right?" Azfan took over Azka slowly so as not to make the little one wake up.

Finally Khalisa bribed Azfan so that the husband could still eat while holding Azfan. After having Azka, they could rarely eat together. Especially when eating out they must be replaced unless Azka sleeps and can be placed in a stroller. But that is the pleasure of being a parent.

After returning from Mahira's house, their car was filled with dozens of bakpia boxes made by Mahira's parents. Not only that, there are salak fruit and guava dersana which is a favorite of Khalisa. Mahira's parents were so kind to bring them so many bakpia and salak.

"Papa see your first product sale smoothly." Daniel in the front seat turned to Khalisa.

"Alhamdulillah Pa, many who give a positive response to the product." Khalisa saw his first anti-strechmark cream sales data reach 10,000 pcs across Alindra Mall and Alindra Beauty official store in e-commerce. For Khalisa it is very remarkable considering he was the first time to make his own product.

"Thank you Azfan, you've taken care of Khalisa so well that it can be what it is today." Daniel patted the arm of Azfan who was focusing on driving.

"I didn't do anything Pa, Khalisa was amazing." Azfan smiled with his eyes fixed on the street.

"Now you have to focus on the same thesis first, there is Nadira who can help keep Azka." Sahur Ica, Azka is in her arms. "If you need anything, don't forget to tell Mama or Papa, we are ready to help you and Azfan at any time."

"Ma Sure." Khalisa.

"Papa seneng because you can channel the knowledge that you have on campus for useful things, but Khalisa if one day you want to open your own boutique, Papa is ready to make it happen."

"For now, Khalisa has not thought to open a Pa boutique because it makes the design just not perfect." Khalisa laughed at the end of his sentence, sometimes when he missed his designs he could only see his sketchbook. I wanted Khalisa to make the design into clothes but he didn't have enough time. Because choosing materials for one outfit, Khalisa can spend hours. For now Khalisa only focus on Azka and his thesis.

Azfan felt this was unfair to Khalisa because he could still do his hobby of making calligraphy while Khalisa had to refrain from sewing. But Azfan also can not do much, he can only help Khalisa as much as possible.

"Oh yeah what is your Tahfidz Park?" Daniel almost forgot to ask Azfan and Khalisa.

"Alhamdulillah, there is already one person who has managed to memorize 30 juz Pa."

"God, congratulations Fan, Khalisa." Daniel saw Azfan and Khalisa alternately, he was amazed at them because of the dense activity of Khalisa and Azfan can still open the guidance.

"This is all inseparable from Brother Fawas who has helped us guide the children of Pa." Azfan said humbly.

"Khalisa doesn't do much Pa." Khalisa.

"It is precisely Khalisa who plays the most part." Azfan said, "he always cheers me on when I'm tired."

Pipi Khalisa met to hear Azfan's praise in front of his parents.

Ica smiled at Khalisa who was blushing in shame. He can feel that happiness can be created if they help and benefit others not with the luxury or wealth they have.
