Mahabbah Love Khalisa

19

Khalisa was awakened by the sound of pounding the apartment door that was heard hunting. Since Khalisa was in the living room, he could clearly hear the voice. It turned out that it was firmer than Khalisa's estimate, it was appropriate that Rindang felt uneasy let alone that banging happened more than once.

Khalisa grabbed his phone and opened the camera and pressed the video and pointed it at the apartment door which is only 3 meters from where he is today. He saw the clock on his cell phone, at 01:13. Just like Rindang said. Then Khalisa's gaze focused on the monitor next to the door hoping to see someone in front of him. But as if to understand if Khalisa saw the monitor screen, the person closed the camera so that Khalisa could not see anything.

Khalisa's heart was racing, honestly he was afraid because he had never faced something like this before. Khalisa suspects that the person is intent on terrorizing Rindang as well as attracting the attention of his best friend. Being a selebgram is not as beautiful as it looks.

Didn't any other residents hear this blow?

Shortly after the pounding was no longer heard, Khalisa stopped recording the 3-minute video. Khalisa was sitting on the floor because during hearing the blow he held his breath so tense.

Who'sis that? why did he get into this apartment? is that one of the apartment staff who is obsessed with Rindang?

Khalisa wondered to himself, no one can prove that for sure. Though Khalisa was already convinced that he could know the figure but it turns out that the person first closed the camera in front of it as if memorized in its location. Not wrong again, surely the person understands very well on the ins and outs of this apartment.

Khalisa was curious to see firsthand, his hand holding the doorknob about to turn it around. But Khalisa remembered Azfan saying that never open the door for the person. Finally Khalisa undo the intention to throw away his curiosity.

Khalisa stepped into the guest room, because he was awake then all perform tahajjud prayer.

Khalisa's phone rang long when the new owner finished his ablution. Khalisa suspected it was his mama who used to call in the middle of the night to wake him up praying tahajjud.

"Hello, Ma." Khalisa.

"Khalisa, Mama heard from Mama Rindang you guys were attacked by three men who did not know Rindang fans, Khalisa all right?"

"Ma, Khalisa is okay, Mama don't have to worry." Khalisa's voice was soft so as not to make his mama worry. "But now that Rindang is still in the hospital, he must have been shocked after the man had abused Rindang."

"Khalisa, you are far from Papa and Mama, you must take care of yourself, do not walk just the same as Rindang let alone to a quiet place like that, Mama and Papa can't calm down after getting this news."

"Mama believes in Khalisa, here Khalisa is safe inshaa Allah thanks to the prayers of Papa and Mama there."

"How can you survive them?"

"So Azfan hurriedly came after Khalisa's phone, he fought the three men until the police finally came."

Mama Khalisa stopped for a moment not immediately reply to Khalisa's sentence.

"Azfan did look good when Mama met him the first time, oh yes Khalisa, Ama tomorrow morning went to Yogya with Ai Aisyah."

Khalisa was surprised, why did his Ama suddenly go here? "Why did you suddenly come here, Ma?"

"Khalisa knows what Ama is like, after hearing the news that you and Rindang were attacked by the men Ama immediately wanted to go there so Ai Aisyah nemenin Ama because it is impossible for Ama to leave alone."

"Why didn't Ama tell Khalisa first?"

"If you know for sure Khalisa can't, Ama also miss Khalisa."

Khalisa let out a long sigh, he knew how stubborn his ama was.

"Yes, you prayed tahajjud first yes, Mama closed first."

"Yes Ma." Khalisa cut his connection after saying his regards.

Khalisa put down his cell phone and put on his face after holding a prayer mat to establish tahajjud prayer. Khalisa tried not to think about the events that he experienced today including someone who banged on the door of Rindang's apartment.

Levin dropped out after 2 hours of class. From earlier he could not focus on his lecture material because he kept thinking about Khalisa. Levin has heard news that Khalisa and Rindang recently experienced incidents of sexual harassment by 3 unknown men. Once the class is over, Levin goes straight to Khalisa's class to see how things are going.

From a distance Levin sees Khalisa sitting in front of the class with his friends. There was a feeling of relief that permeated Levin's heart after seeing Kalaan Khalisa. Levin's footsteps were slow because he wanted to get to the front of Khalisa's class.

"Eh-eh that's a medical guy who was yesterday wearing Khalisa's shoelaces." One of Khalisa's friends whispered as he saw Levin step towards them.

Khalisa followed their point of view, it turns out that the medical guy they were talking about was Levin. Khalisa waved at Levin who commented a big smile at him.

"Jeez Khalisa is very lucky to be dating FK's son, that's my dream guy." Clarin whispered, and soon moved away from her seat as Levin got closer.

"Hus, what the hell are you guys talking about." Khalisa was talking to his friends who were talking about Levin.

"Hello sister, nyari Khalisa huh?" Clarin greets Levin first with the sweetest smile he has ever shown anyone.

"Well, is it okay to bother you guys for a second?" Levin greets Khalisa's friendly friends.

"Oh no problem at all Brother." They say.

Khalisa's up, "what's up?"

Levin gave the code to get a little away from Khalisa's friends.

Khalisa walked right after Levin through the classroom corridor.

"I heard about Semalem, how are you?" Levin watched Khalisa from top to bottom.

"Thank God, thank God that I'm so worried about you."

"Last night it was the coolest thing in the 19 years I lived on earth." Khalisa grinned because he felt the sentence was funny.

"How did you get away with those guys?"

"I called Azfan, luckily he came straight."

"You call Azfan?" Levin asked, did he not hear wrong? why Khalisa called Azfan, of course they were friends but he did not know that Khalisa and Azfan had been friends so familiar that at the crucial moment Azfan became the first choice for Khalisa. Even if Khalisa contacts Levin, he will come to rescue Khalisa and Rindang.

Khalisa answered Levin's question with a nod.

Levin threw away his bad thoughts, "what matters is that you're all right." He smiled blandly.

"I want to go home, Koko won't?" Khalisa remembered his ama was coming this afternoon so he had to go straight home.

"I have an organization meeting."

"Oh." Khalisa mangosteen, "if I go first." Khalisa stepped forward to wave at Levin implying disappointment on his face.

Khalisa narrowed his eyes looking at the two women in front of the main gate who were also staring at him. Khalisa gave a big smile running towards them.

"Ama Ai!" Khalisa was half screaming. "Why are you here, I just want to go home." Khalisa hugged Renata who stood holding a cane.

"I can't wait to see you." Aisyah blinked her eyes at Khalisa.

"Khalisa's fine, right?" Renata examined all parts of Khalisa's body, he was most protective of his first grandchild.

"Ama, Khalisa is fine." Khalisa grasped Renata's hand to calm him down, "come home, here the heat will be burnt skin."

Renata laughed, "it's impossible that Ama's skin is burnt, Ama has used sunscreen."

"Oh yeah?" Khalisa grinned, failing to seduce Renata to immediately return to his apartment.

"I want to see you last night who saved you."

"Who? Azfan?"

Renata nodded.

"Azfan if this hour works Ama, then we even disturb him." Khalisa turned to the right where Mangan Gelato's courtyard was visible from here. Usually the place is crowded by students who just finished class.

"Where does he work?" Aisha asked.

"Azfan works there Ai." Khalisa pointed to a place where the yard was full of motorcycles.

"It will be late afternoon if it is." Aisyah agreed with Khalisa.

"Want to see you now." Renata insists.

Khalisa shook his head faintly understanding the nature of Renata, "yes come on, Ama can not walk there, if not strong Khalisa fatong."

"You're strong enough to carry Ama." Renata hit Khalisa's back slowly.

Azfan developed his smile seeing Khalisa at the door. But Azfan's expression slightly changed to see a middle-aged woman stepping behind Khalisa then followed by another woman in her 40s. Is Azfan's guess right? is that Khalisa's grandmother?

"Azfan!" Khalisa waved at Azfan.

Azfan replied with a sweet smile because he was busy making gelato for the buyers. Khalisa seemed to walk towards Azfan while guiding Renata.

"Oh this is Azfan, you're more handsome to look at directly." Praise Renata for seeing Azfan.

"Azfan, this is my Ama, just to meet you immediately."

"Hello Ama." Azfan nodded his head greeting Renata clumsily, he nervously met them all of a sudden. "I should have met Ama."

"Well, if you go to Khalisa's apartment, we'll have dinner together."

Azfan turned back unexpectedly if Renata directly invited him to Khalisa's apartment.

"Okay, thank you for coming here and inviting me." Azfan nodded politely, unable to refuse the request even though he was embarrassed that it would be the first time he entered Khalisa's apartment. Last night Azfan just drove Khalisa to the front door and then went home.

"If I go home first, I'm afraid to interrupt you at work." Pamit Khalisa's.

"Don't forget to come yes, you should try Ama's cooking." Renata warns Azfan once again.

Azfan saw the departure of Khalisa, Renata and Aisyah to the front door. Azfan's smile broadened after his encounter with Renata. Somehow Azfan so impatient to go to Khalisa's apartment, where does the shame go? I don't know.
