Mahabbah Love Khalisa

41

The warm sun touches the surface of Khalisa skin who is sitting on the beach enjoying the view of the sea in the morning. After the prayer Dhuha Khalisa rushed to the Jinggo Resort owned by his mother because in addition to home, since childhood he also spent a lot of time in the resort located on the beach.

When Khalisa small resort buildings are only on the beach. But now guests can also choose a room that floats on the sea. Most guests are from newly married couples. Jinggo resorts have grown a lot from year to year without removing the nuances of nature.

Khalisa left after being satisfied to play with the sea water that made his hands feel sticky. Khalisa carried a lot of medium-sized paper bags on his right and left hands. Inside there is bakpia pathok, a key chain that Khalisa bought in Malioboro and a new lipstick product Rindang choice. Khalisa will give it to the employees here.

"Good morning Brother Zelva Mbak Dania." Khalisa commented on the smile greeting the two receptionist employees.

"Author holiday, Ce?" They replied with a friendly smile.

"It's a really long holiday, room number 3 is not empty?" Khalisa has asked his mother for permission to spend the night here later. Khalisa usually stays in room number 3 but since he studied the room is also used for guests.

"Ce's empty, a week ago Ms. Ica said to empty the room first because Ce Khalisa wanted to go home." Answer Zelva.

Khalisa smiled, his mother was so attentive when he also did not necessarily stay here. But Ica emptied the room for Khalisa.

"This is for Zelva and Ms. Dania." Khalisa placed two paper bags on the reception desk.

"Thank you, Ce." Say them simultaneously. Look Khalisa never visited with his bare hands, there must be something that Khalisa gave to the employees there.

"Sama-sama, I'll go ahead first." Khalisa went to the kitchen to meet Dianis and the employees there.

"Good morning everyone." Khalisa distracts those who are busy cooking. Their attitude was immediately on standby to prepare if Khalisa needed anything. "That's okay, continue your work." His word.

"For young Miss." Dianis approached Khalisa. "Where are you now?" He asked because the last time they met Khalisa had just come home from the hospital.

"Everything okay, this is for the head chef, thank you for cooking us good food." Khalisa gave a paper bag for Dianis, he has written the names of employees in each paper bag.

"You have breakfast here, right, they again make croissants whose dough from yesterday can not be perfect." Dianis peeked into the batik patterned paper bag.

Khalisa nodded, he came here indeed for breakfast. Khalisa put the paper bag on the table near the door so that after finishing making breakfast they can immediately take it.

"Consider Ce by him." Say them.

"Yes together, the spirit of everything." Khalisa yelled at them before leaving the kitchen. "Let's be the first one for me."

"Ready Ce."

When Khalisa came out of the kitchen, he saw Ica coming down the stairs at a fast pace.

"Why Ma?"

"Bi Mar said there was a guest from Jogja, Khalisa there is a promise from Jogja?" Ica was still looking at her cell phone screen looking at the CCTV footage on the home page. He saw a car parked there. Mar won't let a stranger in until Ica allows it.

"Not really." Khalisa shook his head, he didn't feel like he was making an appointment with anyone. His friends on campus also no one wants to visit him here. "Not Ko Levin?" Ask Khalisa.

"Not Ce, try Cece check his phone who knows the person's phone."

Khalisa reached into his sling bag taking his phone and checking some incoming messages.

"There is no Ma."

"It's Bi Mareta's phone again." Ica put a cell phone in her ear, "who's Mar? lecturer Khalisa?" Ica was surprised to see Khalisa who was similarly shocked.

Khalisa frowned, he did not feel he had any problems with the lecturer because yesterday's exam went smoothly without obstacles. The value of Khalisa can also be very good. Even if there is a problem with the lecture, it is impossible for a lecturer to visit his students first, especially without telling him before.

"Let's go home first." Bring Ica.

"Ma's Mom." Khalisa's looking for someone to share his gift with. "Mbak Yuni asks for help later love to the friends yes, already there is a name, thank you Ma'am." Khalisa gave the remaining dozens of paper bags to Yuni one of the employees there.

The journey from the resort to the house only takes about 10 minutes by car. But those 10 minutes were long for Ica and Khalisa because they were shrouded in curiosity in someone who suddenly visited their home. And lecturer? despite thinking about it Khalisa could not guess which lecturer suddenly came here.

"That's Papa's car, Ma." Khalis pointed to Daniel's car, which went into their yard first. "Cook Papa's coming home too?"

Ica did not answer because she did not know why Daniel had come home. Mareta also called Daniel to come home. What happened to Khalisa, why the lecturer had to go all the way to Banyuwangi to meet Daniel and Ica.

"Ma, that's Mr. Husein my religious lecturer." Khalisa was surprised to see Hussein standing next to a car and another man who had a taller body and a burly body.

"What religion?"

Khalisa gawking feels like dejavu because some time ago he also asked Syifa. Maybe it's because they live in a different religious family environment.

Ica got out of the car first to approach Daniel, "kok Papa come home?"

"Sir Hussein said the phone was coming here." Daniel answered, he rubbed Ica's back before greeting Husein and his son.

Khalisa also greeted the lecturer politely and fearfully—takut because he never thought Husein would visit him home. Khalisa believes Husein came not without reason, and why to bring the man. Khalisa looked at the man who was smiling sweetly towards him, his eyebrows and his thick eyelashes as if smiling along with his lips.

Called Fawas. Khalisa recalled Syifa's remarks while they were at the Ulil Albab mosque when Fawas came to guide the prospective participants of the MTQ race including Azfan. Khalisa admitted that the sound of Fawas was so beautiful that it made the feathers bristled at that time.

"Sir Fawas." Sapa Khalisa's.

"Khalisa." Reply Fawas.

Khalisa felt the moment of akward happened a split second, he wanted to run away from here.

Daniel let them enter first even though he was curious about the purpose of their arrival here. Daniel believes Khalisa is not the type of trouble-making student or special student that his lecturer should visit. Khalisa is like any other student.

"Before we apologized for our sudden arrival." Hussein began to speak. The lecturer in his 60s repaired his thick glasses that had perched perfectly on his pointed nose.

"I'm sorry," Khalisa interjected, "I didn't make any trouble on campus, did I?"

Husein smiled as well as Fawas who occasionally stole a look at Khalisa.

"Not Khalisa, even you became one of the students who got the best grades."

Khalisa can be a little calm because the arrival of Husein is not because he made trouble. But Khalisa increasingly curious about the purpose of Husein and Fawas here.

"A few weeks ago Fawas saw Khalisa when he was leading the qiraah exercises at the Ulil Albab mosque then the following days Fawas often noticed Khalisa on campus and finally today I came not as a lecturer Khalisa but Abi Fawas."

Daniel's body stiffened, his eyes turned sharply to understand the direction of the conversation Husein, a lecturer of Islamic religion of Arab descent. Ica looked at Daniel, she also understood the meaning of Husein's words while Khalisa looked down at the shiny marble floor, surely Mar finished mopping this morning.

"We'd like to propose to Khalisa." Husein's words made Khalisa and his parents very surprised.

Mareta almost dropped the tray in her hand hearing that, really she had no intention of eavesdropping but her ears were still functioning so well that she could hear the sentence. He put two cups of tea for Husein and Fawas as well as two jars of pastries.

Khalisa who was originally watching the floor now raised his face to see Husein and Fawas at a glance then papa and his mother.

Mareta glanced at Khalisa, he had been taking care of Khalisa since infancy so he also felt heavy if anyone proposed to Khalisa.

"I'm sorry if Mr. Daniel's family only wants men of Chinese descent to be Khalisa's partner?" Ask Hussein.

Daniel straightened his body to a brief thump before answering Husein's question.

"Before the arrival of Mr. Husein and Fawas was very sudden on a busy day when my wife and I worked, we did not make specific criteria about the Khalisa couple, he said, the most important thing is that he is Islamic and they love each other so I will respect that relationship." Daniel slightly raised his hand so that Husein would not interrupt first because he had not finished speaking.

"But for now Mama Khalisa and I have not thought about marrying Khalisa because he only wants the third semester." Daniel looked at Khalisa with calming eyes.

"There is certainly nothing wrong with getting married young, Fawas has just graduated from Dirasat Islamiyah faculty and has taught at one of the private universities in Jogja, Fawas is quite established to get married."

"May I ask Fawas?" Daniel saw Fawas.

"Please Mr." Reply Fawas.

"Same Mama Khalisa can go back to the resort so Papa's here." Pinta Daniel on Ica.

"Yes Pa." Ica appealed to Husein and Fawas to take Khalisa with her because they were at the resort before Mareta called.

"Why do you want to apply for Khalisa, why?" Daniel asked after Khalisa and Ica came out of their stately home.

"When I first saw Khalisa, I saw she was a good girl and a good girl, she really kept her eyes on him but at the same time she was also a cheerful girl who was easy to get along with her friends then I steadied myself to go to Banyuwangi and intend to menghitkah Khalisa."

Daniel nodded in understanding.

"I really appreciate the good intentions of Mr. Husein and Fawas who have come all the way here."

"We're going to give Khalisa time, we know it's too sudden so Khalisa doesn't have to answer right away." Typal Hussein.

"Well, thank you, please tea Mr. Husein and Fawas." Daniel invited them to have some warm tea on the table.

As a papa, Daniel knew this must happen where his daughter would be proposed to a man. Although Daniel is not ready yet but he knows slowly the sea he has to give up his daughter to get married. And Daniel couldn't imagine it all, he still wanted to spend time with his children.
