Mahabbah Love Khalisa

124

After returning from the mosque Azfan directly to the room looking for the existence of Khalisa. Azka wasn't in the box either. Where did Khalisa go, there is no way he ran away from home because he was jealous of Azfan right? Azfan shook his head strongly, he should not think about anything.

The screen of Khalisa's phone is on, stealing Azfan's attention. There was a message from Zunaira. Azfan grabbed the phone and put it in his pocket.

Azfan checked into the bathroom with the floor wet, which means Khalisa had just come from there. Azfan went to the next room and called his wife but there was no answer. Azfan should soon find Khalisa in their house that is not big but because of panic he feels the house is too wide.

Azfan went downstairs to the kitchen, there was no one there. Finally Azfan came out through the back door, a sense of relief enveloped him when he saw Khalisa in the backyard with Azka. Azfan's heart was pounding because it did not immediately find Khalisa.

"Umma, assalamualaikum." Azfan approached Khalisa who was sitting in a small chair while holding Azka.

"Mosur." Khalisa kissed Azfan's hand for a while and pretended to focus on Azka, he kept his hand busy wiping Azka's head.

Azfan sat next to Khalisa, usually kissing his hands back and forth for just one second.

"Umma is praying?"

"Udah."

"I'm sorry Umma." Azfan embraces Khalisa, he does not want them to fight for too long. Especially if until Khalisa silenced him, Azfan did not want to. "I won't be taking pictures of women anymore."

Khalisa glanced at Azfan. It's not that easy, did I say your perfume is too fragrant so that women worshipers want photos only with you, I was not invited when I was his wife.

"I wouldn't want to either, but you allowed it dear." Azfan is often invited to take photos with female worshipers, it was not the first time. But Azfan always refused as much as he could but because Khalisa had given permission, he was not able to refuse them.

"If I forbid later they think strangely, besides you can refuse loh Mas."

Azfan smiled, "all right next time I'll push back."

"Other times?"

"I'll reject it."

Khalisa still put on a ketus look.

"Honey, if you want I will only accept invitations to study that are only men."

Khalisa's looking, "really?"

"I'll do anything for you baby, I'll always put you first."

Khalisa smiled, Azfan's words made him melt helplessly like ice cream dried in the hot sun.

"Hug me." Azfan stretched out his arms to embrace Khalisa, "O Allah my wife if angry make a scene."

"mma ... Umma!"

Azfan unravels a hug hearing Azka call his Umma. They were surprised because this was the first time Azka had spoken like that.

"The baby can call Umma?" Khalisa's eyes sparkled to see Azka.

"Call Abi too dong dear."

"Azka, Abi wants to be called as well" he said."

Azka laughed in response to Abi's words but the one that came out of her mouth was Bababa ...

"It's Baba huh?" Azfan pointed at himself.

"Maba." Azka uttered the sentence while laughing cheerfully, her clear neutrality made Azfan and Khalisa fascinated.

"Abi can still come to the study even though the congregation is female, I will not dispute it anymore as long as Abi does not take photos of the congregation as before." Khalisa touched the back of Azfan's hand and grabbed it. Khalisa must understand that Azfan's existence is not just for himself. Azfan belongs to the community, he must convey the verses of the Qur'an through his qiroah. Khalisa cannot be selfish.

Azfan smiled, Khalisa was easy to forgive even though he had been made afraid. Indeed, there is no household that runs smoothly without problems but as much as possible Azfan succumbed whenever they disagree.

"Oh yeah," Azfan reached into his pocket giving Khalisa's phone, "there's a message from Zunai."

"She's sending pictures again, Mama canin Zunaira hold hp every Sunday." Khalisa checked the message from Zunaira. "Lt!" Khalisa throws his phone looking at the photo that Zunaira sent.

"What's wrong?" Azfan was surprised to pick up Khalisa's phone on the floor, he saw a photo of Zunaira holding a fat cat. It is only fitting that Khalisa immediately threw his phone. "I deleted ya." Azfan hastily deleted the photo.

"Ah Zunaira is a real fad." Khalisa clenched his trembling, sweaty hands.

"Maybe Zunai accidentally, he's still learning." Azfan rubbed Khalisa's back to calm him down.

Khalisa took a deep breath and exhaled. Khalisa repeated it several times, it was the way that psychologists taught him when he was scared.

"I'm erasing it, calm down."

Khalisa nodded slowly swallowing his saliva with great difficulty.

Azfan's attention was shifted when Khalisa's phone was back on and vibrated long. Papa's name is on the screen.

"Papa call me." Azfan returned to give Khalisa's phone and took over Azka so that his wife would be more free to talk to Daniel.

Azfan moved from his seat pet Azka took him for a walk around the empty backyard. There is only one mango tree that is small. When he had just moved here Daniel planted mango tree seedlings in a narrow backyard.

"Assalamualaikum, Pa."

"Waalaikumussalam Khalisa, Alindra Beauty is sued for the use of harmful ingredients in anti-strechmark creams that we just launched."

Khalisa turned away trying to digest back the sentence his father said.

"Khalisa calm first because this is not the first time, Ai Aisyah was also once sued about Alindra Beauty shampoo but it turns out the product she used is fake."

"Pa, but nowadays there are almost no fake Alindra Beauty items on the market."

"Papa know, so we will investigate first, Khalisa calm aja Alindra Beauty has a license BPOM and the cream has passed the selection test."

As a person who took pharmaceutical education Khalisa believes that the composition used in the cream is appropriate and there are no harmful ingredients.

"Papa has sent a letter of his lawsuit to you, please read it to Azfan, he must know better."

"Thank you Pa." Khalisa put his phone down, knowing that this was the risk of his job. Making a product is not easy, Khalisa has spent his time and energy to make the product. Khalisa has tried the cream himself and 5 others. They also showed no allergic reaction to the cream.

"What's wrong?" Azfan looked at Khalisa expression after receiving the phone call.

"Some of you sued Alindra Beauty more precisely the anti-strechmark cream I made." Khalisa thrust his phone to get Azfan to read the lawsuit.

Azfan read it carefully, there are photos of reddish bruises on the skin of the arms and abdomen, he suspected it was a sign of evidence included with the lawsuit.

"He's suing on charges of using harmful ingredients on the cream?"

Khalisa nodded, "Bi, he has evidence of the doctor's records."

"Honey, you're calm because we also have a license from BPOM, he won't be able to sue us."

"But this guy's skin is so bad that it's swollen and purplish let alone that he's pregnant, it's natural that he demands us."

"According to his address, he's not far from here, what if we go there to see his condition."

Khalisa nodded, his feelings mixed between being hit and worrying about the condition of someone who had demanded it. But he was also afraid of the good name Alindra Beauty. This is the first time Khalisa made a product, initially he was happy because the society received well when the cream was just launched.

Like the streets, of course there must be holes or pebbles that will make us stumble and fall. Khalisa had to get up, if he let himself fall because of the pebble then it was the same he had lost to himself. Khalisa just need to get rid of the gravel. It's just that the way is much more complicated than the gravel on the streets.

******

The minimalist style house with a small garden in front of the house looked quiet when Azfan and Khalisa arrived. Khalisa checked the phone to see if it was the address of someone who had reported Alindra Beauty to the police. That woman's name is Elena.

Azfan went down first to ask Elena's whereabouts to someone who was around. Shortly after talking briefly with two people outside, Azfan re-entered the car.

"He's in the hospital." Azfan is running the car.

"Everything's gonna be okay, baby." Azfan reached out his hand rubbing Khalisa's arm.

"May Bi."

10 Minutes drive to the hospital. It was the hospital closest to Elena's house. Azfan estimates Elena was admitted to this hospital because the surrounding residents did not specify the name of the hospital where Elena was treated.

After asking the receptionist they headed to the third floor of the hospital. Azfan's guess is right, Elena is being treated at this hospital.

"May Elena be all right." Khalisa murmured as they took the elevator.

Azfan turned his head to look at Khalisa. Azfan wondered which one Khalisa was more worried about, Alindra Beauty or Elena's condition so that the look on his face looked so riled up.

"Room number 32 isn't it Bi, is it?" Khalisa stopped in front of room number 32.

"Yes right."

Shortly after the door of the room opened, a doctor and two nurses came out.

"Doctor, I'm sorry to ask if this is Miss Elena's room?" Ask Khalisa

"Yes right."

"Thank you doctor."

The doctor left the room followed by two nurses.

"Who are you?"

Azfan and Khalisa saw a thick man in his 40s standing at the door.

"I am Azfan and this is my wife, Khalisa." Azfan reached out to the man.

The man stared at Khalisa and Azfan alternately without replying to Azfan's hand.

"I'm the one in charge of Alindra Beauty, let us take a look at Ms. Elena's condition."

"If you want to come here just to ask us to stop this case then it's a waste because I'm going to continue our report to the court."

"No sir, we really want to see Elena's condition." Reply Khalisa politely.

Eventually the man allowed Azfan and Khalisa to enter.

A woman was lying in a gurney, she was Elena while the man was her husband.

"They're who Pa?" Ask Elena.

"From Alindra Beauty."

"I'm sorry in advance because we're suddenly here without telling." Khalisa.

"What's your purpose here?" Ask Elena with a brush.

"We just want to see how Ms. Elena is doing."

"I'll show you how badly the cream made the surface of my stomach's skin break." Elena uncovers the blanket.

Azfan immediately turned his eyes away, that was the part he should not see.

"Let's go out first." Pinta Khalisa's.

Azfan nodded and immediately got out of there. He believes Khalisa can handle this. Khalisa is used to interacting with strangers and he can handle it well.

"I apologize personally for making Miss Elena's condition this bad." Khalisa approached, he could not see the surface of Elena's skin that was purple. "We'll cover the cost of your treatment."

"You think after saying that I'm going to drop that lead?" Elena raised her chin, "i don't want to be needed arbitrarily just because Alindra Beauty is a big brand."

"No ma'am, we will still follow the rules according to the law but now let me take care of the hospital administration."

Elena nodded.

"I understand how you feel because I've also been pregnant."

"Don't know, this is my second pregnancy and I previously used anti-strechmark cream other brands no harmful effects but Alindra Beauty instead of preventing strechmark even make my stomach like this."

"Once again I'm sorry, can I see the cream you're wearing?"

Elena's husband gave Khalisa a green cream tube with the words Alindra Beauty.

The cream has two variants, white tube without fragrance and green with the addition of fragrance bergamot and lavender.

"Did Miss Elena have an allergy to bergamot?" Ask Khalisa.

"I'm not obligated to answer your question."

Khalisa nodded back the cream to Elena's husband.

"You're here to take care of the administration, right?"

"true."

"Please." Elena's husband pointed at the door asking Khalisa to leave the room immediately.

"I'm sorry then." Khalisa said he did not want to make Elena even more angry because he asked a lot.

When exiting Khalisa did not find Azfan there. Khalisa turned to the right and left looking for the whereabouts of Azfan, there were some people along the corridor but he did not see Azfan.

Khalisa stuck a cell phone to his ear calling Azfan's number. The connecting tone was heard several times but there was no reply from Azfan.

The elevator took Khalisa down to the first floor. Khalisa walked to the administration to pay for Elena's hospital fees while still trying to contact Azfan.

Where did Azfan go when Khalisa only spoke briefly with Elena earlier but Azfan disappeared as quickly as that. There's no way Azfan left Khalisa alone.

"Maybe wait in the car." Khalisa took his card back after paying Elena's hospital fees.

Khalisa stepped out of the hospital, looking up at the dark sky. They will not be able to pray magrib at home.

"Where's Abi?" Khalisa looked back once more but as far as the eye could see he did not see Azfan. Finally Khalisa stepped towards the hospital mushalla because the adzan magrib had reverberated. Khalisa believes Azfan will also go there when he hears the adhan.

Fortunately, Khalisa brought a mukena in his bag so that he did not worry about running out of mukena in mushalla.

After the prayer Khalisa sat a little hidden to wear his socks.

"Let me put it up."

Khalisa was surprised to see a man suddenly take over her socks but a second later she smiled after learning that the man was her own husband.

"Where are you from?"

"I'm telling you in the car soon." Azfan put Khalisa's socks on and his shoes on.

They rushed back to the car. When he came out of Elena's room, Azfan deliberately followed the doctor who examined Elena.

"Bu Elena has a history of allergies to bergamot before so this cannot be said to be the fault of Alindra Beauty because we have made a dose according to the provisions, not carelessly, he said, we also create a variant without fragrance for those who are allergic to bergamot."

Khalisa nodded, he also thought like that. Now he must consider whether to replace fragrance with other essentials while bergamot more interest.

"Umma also added lavender essential to minimize allergic reactions, and we have tried it on someone who has bergamot allergy proof that he is fine."

Khalisa sighed heavily, too many things in his head for him to think about. It feels like Khalisa's head is about to break but fortunately the head is made by God if it is not sure it has fallen apart because it is unable to accommodate too many thoughts.

"We can definitely get through this." Azfan pulled Khalisa into his arms.
