Mahabbah Love Khalisa

33

"Khalisa." Ica barged into Khalisa's ward without knocking on the door, too shocked to hear that Khalisa fell off the bike last night. Ica stared fixedly at her eldest son who was lying on the bed, although Rindang said there were no serious injuries to Khalisa but still as a parent he was very worried about her. Moreover, Khalisa lived far away from them.

"Mama, Khalisa is okay." Khalisa stretched out his arms to embrace Ica, behind which Daniel followed and a woman dressed in shari'i like Ica also entered last. Khalisa waved at the woman who was now smiling widely at him. Unlike Ica and Daniel who put on a worried face, the woman remained cheerful.

"Is it really okay?" Ica examined Khalisa from top to bottom.

"This is just a doang." Khalisa revealed her veil pet to show the bandage on her temple.

"Geez, this is still a wound especially on the head." Daniel.

"Father, Khalisa's okay." Khalisa reached out to kiss Daniel's hand and then Ica. "Aunty won't hug me?" Khalisa glanced at the woman behind Daniel.

"Let's wait for your turn." Sahut woman, he was Dianis friend of Ica since childhood. If Khalisa has Rindang and Huma then Ica has Dianis who is willing to share her joys and sorrows with her. Dianis stepped closer to Khalisa and hugged him.

"Aunty how are you?" Khalisa misses Dianis with his crisp jokes and his cooking.

"Well, you see that Aunt's body is stretched this means Aunt is good and happy." The sound of Dianis's cry filled the room.

"Sh." shush." Khalisa placed his index finger on the lips asking that Dianis lower her voice.

"What's wrong?" Dianis whispers.

Khalisa turned his head to the left looking towards the back of Azfan who was establishing the Dhuha prayer. From earlier no one realized the existence of Azfan because it was blocked by the bathroom wall.

"Khalisa, who is he?" Ask Daniel.

"Azfan Pa, so Semalem Rindang and Azfan take care of me but Rindang was home to take a change of clothes, they also brought Khalisa here."

Ica nodded in understanding, she sat on the edge of the bed rubbing Khalisa's arm. Actually they had met Rindang at the airport earlier. Rindang tells everything but he asks Ica and Daniel not to show his concern to Khalisa.

"Khalisa's been trying to make us all not worry about him, so Rindang begs Tante and Om to pretend not to know about this incident in front of Khalisa."

"Whose bike are you carrying?" Ask Daniel.

Khalisa did not immediately answer his papa questions, he promised to tell his parents everything.

"Khalisa didn't fall off Pa's bike." Khalisa lowered his head, in fact he could have answered the origin by saying he fell from Azfan or Huma motorbike but he did not want to lie. Better Khalisa told me everything even though he had to go back to remembering the dark incident last night.

Ica touched the back of Khalisa's hand that was not infused, "Papa and Mama already know everything."

Khalisa raised his face in surprise, how did they know?

"So Rindang picked us up at the airport and he told us everything." Ica looked at Khalisa in the shade, she was very worried about Khalisa but was reluctant to show it in front of the child.

"Previous that such a thing will never happen again with you."

"Why didn't you just move to college in Banyuwangi?" Dianis suddenly replied. He sat on the same couch as Daniel.

Khalisa shook his head, before deciding to study in Yogyakarta of course he had thought about it carefully. Khalisa never expected to experience something like this after almost a year of living in Gudeg City.

Azfan who was offering prayers after the dhuha prayer almost turned his head to hear the words of papa Khalisa, since hearing the voice of others who entered the room Azfan so did not focus on prayer. But Azan still tried to return solemn in his last rakaat.

Is Khalisa moving? Azfan wondered that not hearing Khalisa's answer, what if they never met again.

"You want to move apartments, let Papa find an apartment that has more security guaranteed."

"Pa, Khalisa likes that apartment, Khalisa will take care of himself." Khalisa reviewed a smile to calm his papa. "Otherwise, in a moment of testing, Khalisa wants to focus on that."

Azfan moved from his alphabet, he folded the prayer mat and greeted Khalisa's parents.

"Sorry Azfan, we are interrupting your prayer." Daniel received Azfan's helping hand. He shifted his seat so Azfan could sit down.

"God is so handsome." Dianis spontaneously praised Azfan who wore a sarong, cocoa and skullcap.

Azfan was surprised to get the praise of a woman who looks the same age as the Ica.

"What is your relationship, I mean how can you keep Khalisa here?" Dianis who always kepo it began to interrogate Azfan.

"I am a friend of Khalisa Aunt." Azfan replied with an awkward smile.

"Jeez Khalisa Pinter really choose temen."

"Astagfirullah Aunty I never picky temen." Khalisa. "Azfan does not need to be horrified by the talk of Aunt Dianis who likes to worry."

Azfan nodded stiffly.

"Did you come here just to tempt Khalisa?" Tegur Ica on Dianis who just grinned as innocent.

"Agreed." Khalisa secretly showed his thumb to Dianis without the knowledge of Ica and the others.

Dianis squinted with laughter because she never misjudged a guy. Although his age stepped on the head of four but Dianis still can distinguish handsome men and not.

"By the way Geza wasn't invited?" Geza is the eldest son of Dianis who soon also graduated from High School just like Kafa.

"Well, just stopped by her minimarket."

"Azfan, thanks for saving Khalisa, you did it twice."

"I have to do it, sir." Azfan continued to remember Renata's words that Khalisa left him.

"Hm?" Daniel raised an eyebrow looking at Ica, they looked at each other for a while.

"Mmm I mean— as our friends do have to help each other." Azfan immediately added a sentence that could cause the ambiguous understanding.

"Assalamualaik." The voice of a man at the door distracted them.

Dianis who was closest to the door immediately opened the door to let the pale white man in.

"Shop." Khalisa was not too surprised by Levin's arrival because they had spoken on the phone earlier.

Levin greets everyone who is there one by one and asks why Khalisa could suddenly be hospitalized when last night they had met and Khalisa is fine.

"Night Khalisa fell off Huma's bike." Ica's reply represented Khalisa who was a little confused to get Levin's question.

"But it's okay." Khalisa added before making Levin worry excessively.

Levin wondered why Azfan was here first and wore a sarong that gave the impression that Azfan had been here for a long time, or even stayed over. No, it's impossible for Azfan to stay.

"Sorry Ko so we have to cancel our promise."

"No, it's okay we can eat together anytime." Levin commented on the sweet smile, "the important thing is that you're healthy first."

"Sit Vin." Daniel moved to sit on the bedside chair so Levin could sit on the sofa. "What promise do you have?" He sees Khalisa and Levin alternating.

"So Ko Levin wants to buy me a meal with a member of the converts community also coincides with my birthday yesterday when I said there is no need to give any gifts." Khalisa.

Azfan's lips twitched a little, he did not know if yesterday Khalisa repeatedly.

"If you want to eat together do not need to fit Khalisa birthday right?" Ica Sahut.

"Yes Aunt." Levin grinned widely showing his teeth white and neat. "Azfan has been here for a long time?"

"Yes." Yeah." Azfan nodded. Since last night.

Now Levin's face was really grim why Khalisa told Azfan but didn't tell him. If it wasn't Levin who called first, Khalisa wouldn't have told him.

A doctor and nurse entered the room to check on Khalisa. The doctor asked them to come out first except for Khalisa's parents.

"Khalisa has done a full-body CT scan and no internal injuries, if need be a psychiatrist we will schedule it for Khalisa." Obviously the doctor after the examination on the wound in the temple Khalisa and some bruises on the calf and arm.

"How's Khalisa?" Ica saw Khalisa who still put on a cheerful face as if to say that everything was fine but the more Khalisa like that he was sadder and did not want to leave the child.

"Khalisa is fine." Answer Khalisa.

"Well then the medicine do not forget to drink, tomorrow I will check again if Khalisa is improving then it can go home." The doctor left the room with the nurse who had replaced the infusion bag with a new one.

Ica moves in to embrace Khalisa, knowing Khalisa needs him despite trying his hardest to endure the grief.

"Mama and Papa do not have to worry, Khalisa will soon return to Banyuwangi."

Ica nodded rubbing Khalisa's head, although now Khalisa has grown up but for him Khalisa is his little daughter who always needs supervision from himself and Daniel. But he also could not continue to be here leaving Zunaira and Azmal for a long time.

"You're a strong boy." Ica kissed Khalisa's forehead fondly, "crying is not wrong, losing Khalisa will cry is okay."

Khalisa bit his lip, he's been holding it since this morning. Khalisa thought that after crying so much last night in Rindang's arms, everything would be fine. But after hearing his mother say so Khalisa could not hold it anymore, he hugged his mother and cried without a sound.

Daniel turned his face away from seeing the child crushed, his hands clenched, he would give no mercy to anyone who had made his child like this.
