Mahabbah Love Khalisa

17

Azfan had just returned from the mosque after praying isya congregation. He saw his phone flickering on his desk. Azfan guessed it was his mother who routinely called him every night, asked many things such as eating, praying, how to go to college today and so forth. Azfan is grateful because his mother is so considerate and never demands him to always get good grades, from the past until now.

"Khalisa?" Azfan frowned reading Khalisa's name on the screen of his phone that had not smoothly broken everywhere. The connection was cut off before Azfan picked it up. He saw 3 missed calls from Khalisa. Azfan feeling bad, there is no way a Khalisa call him up to several times if not for important things.

Azfan immediately pressed the green phone icon and stuck his phone in the ear.

"Hello Azfan."

Azfan was stunned to hear Khalisa's voice tremble, "what is Khalisa?"

"Azfan help me .. I, Rindang, kami—" Khalisa's words stopped, his breath stinged.

"Khalisa you calm down first, you're where I'm going now."

"I ..... "

"What's around you?"

"Near the An-Nur mosque, Rindang is being mobbed by three men." Khalisa.

"Are you okay?" Azfan asked quickly, he grabbed the key and pulled out his bike in a hurry.

"Ohhhhh!" Khalisa shouted and then he heard something fall.

Azfan disconnected the connection put the phone into his pocket and stuck gas after closing the door of the boarding room.

O Allah, may nothing bad happen to Khalisa, protect Khalisa and Rindang.

Azfan's heart was pounding, his motor was speeding at high speed winding on the sidelines of another vehicle that night. Azfan never rode his bike that fast, he just wanted to get to where Khalisa mentioned.

Azfan narrowed his eyes focusing on the two men who were trying to undress Rindang. He accelerated when he saw another man holding Khalisa's hand. He drove his bike right towards the man.

The tall man cursed because Azfan's motor almost hit his body. The grip on Khalisa's hand came off.

"Azfan!" Khalisa screeched, grateful that Azfan was coming.

Azfan got off the motor and raised his fist right on the man's nose. Azfan's arrival attracted two men who had been reluctant to let go of Rindang. Seeing his friend being beaten by Azfan, they helped gang up on Azfan.

Rindang did not waste the opportunity to escape from the two men who had done something indecent to him, they fumbled the chest of Rindang down to the bottom.

"Are you okay?" Khalisa researched Rindang from top to bottom.

Shindang shook his head not having the strength to say a word.  Shady sobbed in Khalisa's arms, his body shaking violently in fear. He was grateful that there were still people helping them in this deserted place. Rindang had to go to church and worship all day to thank God.

Khalisa turned to Azfan who was trying to fight three men at once. Khalisa prayed in his heart that Azfan could defeat the three bastards.

Shortly thereafter, the sound of police car sirens approached. The three men frantically prepare to flee but Azfan manages to hold off one man he remembers from holding Khalisa's hand. The man had to bear the consequences for daring to hold the hand of Khalisa who had never been touched by the opposite sex who was not his mahram.

"Sir, this man and his two friends were sexually harassed." Azfan gave an explanation to the police who just got out of the car. One other policeman immediately restrained the man's hand in place of Azfan.

"Pursue them." The tall police order to his friends. They chased the other two people using the commandless motor twice

"Everything's on our car's camera, sir." Khalisa said as if he understood the meaning of the police view.

Azfan's view focused on Khalisa making sure the girl is okay. Azfan's heart was like a slide from his civilization when he heard Khalisa's crying voice on the phone earlier.

Azfan saw Khalisa's bag lying on the ground with items strewn around him including Khalisa's phone. Azfan crouched down to collect Khalisa's goods and put them in a bag.

"Okay, thank you." The police checked the place again.

"Thunder!" Pekik Khalisa saw Rindang unconscious, he filled Rindang's body with the rest of his energy.

Deftly a policeman raised Rindang's body.

"Come in my car, sir." Pinta Khalisa's.

"Are you okay?" Azfan approached Khalisa, he was eager to hug Khalisa like when a girl was scared when she saw a cat. But it is not possible Azfan did, he tried hard to control his body so as not to freely embrace Khalisa.

Khalisa nodded, "are you okay, right?" Khalisa's view examined Azfan's entire body as he did with Rindang just now. "Thank you Azfan, maybe if you don't come, I'm the same as Rindang udah—"

Azfan drove Khalisa's car to take Rindang to the hospital. Khalisa was afraid of something bad happening to Rindang because he did not know exactly what the 3 bastards had done to Rindang. Meanwhile, police took Rindang's car to check the video recording of the chronology of the incident.

Khalisa sat in the back seat with a huff putting Rindang's head on his lap. He rubbed the hair of Rindang which was painted straight today. Every now and then he looked into the upper rearview mirror that reflected Azfan's face.

"Khalisa don't worry, we'll be in the hospital soon, Rindang must be fine." Azfan said trying to calm Khalisa even though he could not calm down before Rindang siuman.

*******

Khalisa lowered his head in sitting on one of the rows of chairs along the corridor. Rindang has been transferred to the ward after being treated by a doctor for 30 minutes in the ER. It's just that Rindang has not been aware of himself. The doctor said that Rindang was in shock and now he has to rest completely.

Khalisa linked his two cold sweaty hands with blood.

"Your hand is bleeding?" Azfan from earlier noticed Khalisa, he sat about 1 meter from the girl but he could see clearly that Khalisa's hand was bleeding even about his mocca-colored robe.

"Hm?" Khalisa looked up to see Azfan then saw his own palm, ah right, he fell down and hit the pebble. From earlier Khalisa did not feel anything but now after realizing his hand was injured suddenly they felt sore and throbbing.

"Khalisa, you're hurt, look at her skin peeling and bleeding." Azfan approached to see Khalisa's wounds more clearly, "must be treated immediately." Azfan's face clearly seemed worried about Khalisa, but he could not do much less treat Khalisa's own wounds even though he was eager to do so.

"Later in the apartment, I saw Rindang first." Khalisa entered, followed by Azfan.

Rindang appeared to be lying down with an infusion hose on his left hand. His eyes were still faithfully closed, his face looked pale even though he had used make-up. But the incident had made her make-up wear off.

Khalisa and Azfan were startled by someone who suddenly opened the door so hard.

"Thunder!" Jason came in breathless, running from the parking lot and along the corridor all the way here.

Khalisa's retreat leaves room for Jason.

"I'm sorry to miss." Jason clasped Rindang's hand and kissed the back of his hand many times. "Sorry Khalisa I came home because my Akong suddenly fell in the bathroom."

Khalisa nodded, "already, the important thing is now that Rindang is safe here, how is Akong?"

"They're all human."

"Thank God then."

From Jason's attitude, Azfan knew Jason loved Rindang very much, he if so Jason would be worried about the situation Rindang now.

"Khalisa you go home, let me keep Rindang here."

"I can't leave Rindang here."

"You should also rest, let Azfan anterin you, huh Fan?" Jason looked at Azfan who was immediately answered a nod by Azfan. Without Jason asking Azfan to take Khalisa.

"Jason but later if there's anything direct call me yes."

"Yes, you called Mama Papa Rindang, right?"

Khalisa nodded, "they are looking for the fastest flight from Banyuwangi, maybe tonight they come."

"Then Khalisa."

"Don't say thank you, it's my duty to take care of Rindang."

Before leaving Khalisa put all Rindang medical equipment in one bag so that Jason does not have trouble looking for it such as insulin injections, blood sugar checks and sweet drinks if at any time Rindang blood sugar drop.

"Azfan, thank you for coming on time, I called you because your name is on the top of the list." Khalisa turned to Azfan at the steering wheel.

Azfan was grateful because Khalisa called him at a crucial time like that. Although it is because the name Azfan is in the top call list but Azfan is happy because he became the first choice.

Khalisa took out a handkerchief from the dashboard of his car, "i was so panicked that I didn't notice you, the corner of your lip was also injured, use this to clean his blood." He offered the handkerchief to Azfan.

"Thank you Khalisa, sorry." Azfan apologized for receiving Khalisa's handkerchief with his left hand. Azfan rubbed the corner of his lips that felt pain due to the hit man earlier.

"Today's events don't get too thought out, even if it's hard but I hope you sleep well tonight." Azfan said without seeing Khalisa because he had to focus on the road in front of him.

Khalisa nodded, not expecting to experience something like this. Two girls who were in a deserted place were indeed dangerous. Moreover, they seem to already know the schedule of Rindang today. Surely they are fans of Rindang hard-liners to recklessly stalk and sexually abuse.
