Mahabbah Love Khalisa

25

"Can I join?"

The voice distracted everyone who was enjoying their lunch.

"Master." Khalisa was surprised to see Rindang suddenly here, earlier Rindang did say he wanted to join his activities with HAWASI but because he had to worship in the morning and go to the police station he could not come here. But Khalisa did not expect that Rindang would still come and want to eat together.

They were surprised by the arrival of a girl named Rindang who was foreign to them. Rindang's appearance made them wonder inwardly why the girl was not veiled. But they hide the curiosity because they do not want to make Rindang offended.

"Oh yes friends, brothers, know this my best friend Rindang." Khalisa stood up to introduce Rindang to his friends.

"Rindang please sit." They let Rindang sit down to join them. The necklace that was coiled around Rindang's neck answered their curiosity and threw away the bad prejudice.

"His box is gone?" Rindang circulated a glance around him looking for the rest of the rice box. Actually, this is just the mode to be able to eat rice.

"There's only one, you're lucky." Ikha gave one rice box to Rindang.

"Eat half, you're here to eat rice, right?" Khalisa saw Rindang, he knew what his best friend was thinking now.

Rindang grinned, apparently Khalisa knew himself more than he thought. His eyes were round to see the rice in the box, ah it had been a long time that he did not eat vegetables dikir with sambal tempong that would make him sweat because of the spiciness. No need to exercise Rindang will sweat like running around the field.

"What drink?" Rindang whispered to Khalisa.

"White water." Khalisa replied, why Rindang still asked when in the box there was already a bottle of mineral water. "Have you been injected yet?"

"Udah." Shadeat hands in front of the chest close their eyes to read the prayer in the heart before eating. Rindang here was intent on eating so he had injected insulin on the way.

"Oh my goodness, you are Rindang Anjana?" Ikha just realized that this Rindang is Rindang Anjana who has hundreds of thousands of followers on Instagram.

Rindang smiled broadly at Ikha while nodding.

"Can you take a photo?" Ikha widened her eyes, when else would she meet that famous selebgram. Ikha had to take a photo together to capture the moment.

"Maybe, after eating yes."

"God is more beautiful than the photo." They said after realizing the figure of Rindang.

Rindang blushed to hear their praise when now he was not sure whether his make-up was still on point or even messy. While the photo on Instagram, Rindang must ensure that his face looks perfect. Sometimes he adds edits to make his photos better.

After eating they actually held a photo event together there were even those who asked for Rindang's signature like a fan meeting but it was done suddenly.

"Please Khalisa for his food and help me eat his sambel." Azfan said, he picked up their junk food with other male members because the women were busy taking pictures with the selebgram.

"You really can't eat a pedicab?" Khalisa laughed considering Azfan's face earlier when eating the first feed of rice with sambal tempong.

"I've learned to eat spicy but until now I can't." Azfan scratched his non-itchy nape. "But you're so good at eating spit."

"Well, little habit, oh, Fan, how's the lomb preparation?"

"Inshaa Allah I am ready but do not know what the outcome will be."

"I'm sure you can, your voice is good, which is important to be confident." Khalisa raised his hand to pat Azfan's arm but he quickly lowered it back, he can't do that right?

"You're coming, right?" Azfan only realized there was something different from the appearance of Khalisa today, a hat perched on top of his head with the words Levin ED in the bottom corner. Does that hat belong to Levin? but why is Khalisa wearing it. Is there a special relationship between them. Suddenly Azfan regretted asking Khalisa like that.

"Inshaa Allah I'm coming." Khalisa had to come to witness Azfan's appearance.

Levin looked at Khalisa and Azfan who were busy chatting, he stepped over to them.

"What are you talking about?" Ask Levin.

"You're calm because I've told you some tips for Azfan"

"Oh yeah?" Khalisa's eyebrows raised, he did not know that Azfan also did a training session with Levin. Then Khalisa can calm down because he heard Levin had participated in the race a few years ago.

"But it won't be as good as Levin's sister." Azfan again scratched his nape, it was his reflex movement while being nervous.

"Tuh Ko, Azfan this talent already there is a good voice just his lack of confidence, he said, if I can transfer my confidence to Azfan because Rindang said my confidence is excessive if I can give a little to Azfan."

Highlight Levin's eyes dimmed at Khalisa's sentence, maybe it was just a joke but he felt dislike of Khalisa's words. Is he jealous of Azfan? no-no, why should he be jealous of Azfan. Khalisa is not good to everyone.

Azfan looked down, he wondered what it was like to live with full confidence while he always felt inferior like now, standing between Levin and Khalisa embarrassed him for not being worth these two great men.

"Let's go back." Rindang came to Khalisa, he had finished holding an impromptu fan meeting at the UII campus.

"Udah finished?" Khalisa took off the hat from earlier he was wearing, because the sun was not as hot as before he would return it to Levin. "Ko, thanks for the hat." Khalisa thrust a hat that looks plain at first glance but if viewed up close they will be able to read Levin's name on the front.

"Why behind? wear it for you, it suits you, doesn't it Fan?" Levin sees Azfan asking for his opinion.

"Hm?" Azfan's eyebrows raised, Khalisa is suitable for any wear but is it okay this time he lied? "It's good."

"Khalisa's good to wear anything." Timpal Rindang's. "Koko Masa Khalisa doang beloved, lest this hat is special for Khalisa huh?" Rindang pointed at Levin with a lookout.

"Sshhhh, let's go back for the hunt." Khalisa encouraged Rindang to leave immediately before his best friend slammed. Khalisa said he would go home first to the others and thanked them for working hard today.

"What are you talking about?" Khalisa took Rindang's hand to their car parked in front of him.

"I'm just kidding." Kilah Rindang while teasing Khalisa has become his hobby.

"Don't joke like that ah." Khalisa took off his arm in Rindang's hand when they got near the car.

Leading her lower lip restrained her smile, why Khalisa was so predictable. For a dozen years knowing Khalisa, Rindang had never seen Khalisa fall in love before. Rindang immediately knew because Khalisa looked different, even he knew it before Khalisa realized it.

"Eh, Ko Levin's name is here." Rindang pointed to the embroidery of Levin's name on the hat.

"Oh yeah?" Khalisa thought there wasn't any writing there.

"If you wear this as if you belong to Ko Levin, don't you?"

Khalisa put the hat on Rindang, "don't like to think in the distance, please." He stepped into his car.

They boarded their cars each out of the UII campus area to an apartment that was a short distance away. Khalisa got in the car because he had to bring a lot of food, usually he will walk to campus.

"Khalisa, the two people insisted that it wasn't them or their friends who were pounding on my apartment door." Rindang stepped out of the elevator, asking two men who sexually abused her that night whether they were also the ones who banged on the door of her apartment at midnight. But they insist that they are not the culprit. They look convincing when saying that and Rindang believes it. But who did it? Rindang will not be able to sleep in his own apartment if he does not know the real culprit.

"May he be just a prankster trying to get your attention." Khalisa tried to calm Rindang down even though he was also worried about it.

"I wish I were too." Does Rindang have to hire a bodyguard in case there is another incident like this? but it's a little bit overdone anyway he's not an artist. "I'm turning your hat back on." Rindang put on the hat that had been perched on his head on Khalisa.

Khalisa waved at Rindang and walked into his apartment. Khalisa placed his sling bag and Levin's hat on the sofa.

Khalisa looked at the desk calendar next to the sofa he was sitting on, his index finger touching the 13th. That is the date that the MTQ race will be held as well as the birthday of—13 June. The day after tomorrow he will be 20 years old. Her mother was married at that age.

"Ah why think macem-macem anyway." Khalisa hit his own head. He put the calendar and went to clean up before the Ashar adhan reverberated.
