Mahabbah Love Khalisa

47

Azfan entered the main gate of the UII campus with a smile blooming on his face like a spring sunflower. He was never this excited when he went to college. Azfan wondered what had made him so happy to see this campus again. Is because 1 month has Azfan not set foot here.

While passing through the boulevard street Azfan saw many new students wearing black and white clothes. This is the first day for them to carry out the Ta'aruf Charm or abbreviated as the party commonly known ospek at universities in general.

Azfan parked his motorcycle in front of the HAWASI secretariat room because he was appointed to read the Quran verse for the opening of the Ta'aruf Charm later. Azfan never dreamed of being part of the party except ordinary students. But apparently Azfan should not keep his digital voice for himself. Azfan's mind is more open, perhaps from the recitation of the Qur'an he can knock one's heart to get closer to Allah. Azfan was trying to think about the best possibility for what he was doing.

"Assalamualaik." Azfan entered the room. Some members who had attended first answered his greetings including Hasan who immediately invited Azfan to sit down.

"Assalamualaik." Another voice followed that made them turn their attention back to the entrance.

The deg!

After a long time did not see the figure, Azfan's heart so pounded not because of. Azfan smiled stiffly as Khalisa looked at him at a glance.

"I'm sorry I'm late." Khalisa put a cloth bag on a long table in the middle of the room.

"Not at all." Reply them.

"What's that?" They were curious at what Khalisa was carrying as it looked bulging and claustrophobic. In addition to being friendly and sociable, Khalisa is also famous for often sharing souvenirs.

"Banyuwangi-style sweet food so if anyone says I just doyan pedes it's wrong ya." Khalisa smiled widely greeted with laughter by them because the last time Khalisa brought rice chops with super spicy chili sauce that made him labeled as a spicy enthusiast. But that's not entirely true.

"Temen-temen should try, may help?" Khalisa took out boxes containing Bagak cake, Pia Glenmore and Savana Cake. It seems that now Khalisa has a new hobby of introducing souvenirs typical of the region to the people around him.

"You haven't tried this time to Banyuwangi because of fasting." Khalisa put a box near Azfan.

"Then Khalisa." Azfan.

"You never come empty handed." Aliyah pulled Khalisa's hand to look at his palm, "don't carry heavy, dear." Candanya.

"O Allah Ma'am, don't do it." Khalisa rubbed Aliyah's arm before sitting next to her senior.

They gather to pray together before carrying out the duties of being the committee of the Ta'aruf Charm in their respective divisions that have been determined.

The room felt quieter because senior members of Levin's class had finished graduation.

"Good-bye to each other's duties." Hasan said after he finished leading a prayer together.

Azfan saw Khalisa wearing a blue suit with a red cross on the back. That means Khalisa became a medical committee.

"What's the difference with bakpia?" Ask Ikha.

"About the same looks but the pia is more crisp and the skin is layered like Kha."

Azfan also opened his box to see 5 pieces of sponge cake with various toppings in red, green, blue and cheese and chocolate pieces.

"What is the meaning of the different toppings in each piece?" Azfan saw Khalisa.

Khalisa seemed surprised because Azfan's question, he thought no one would ask the meaning of the colorful topping.

"What does it mean?" Syifa also chimed, from earlier he wanted to talk to Azfan but waited for the moment Azfan spoke first.

"It represents a tourist destination in Banyuwangi." Answer Khalisa.

"Wah cake is not just any cake but there is a philosophy." The other law.

"Berah Island Beach, Ijo Bay, Blue Fire in Ijen crater and Wedi Ireng beach." Khalisa.

"Fear of black means?" Tanya Ikha means the name of the beach that Khalisa last mentioned.

"Wedi for sand is not fear." Khalisa laughed, Javanese language sometimes does have a meaning that makes people misunderstand.

They still had a short while before Ta'aruf's Enchantment began. They use it to eat the souvenirs that Khalisa brought, enough to fill the energy until lunch time later.

Syifa went from his seat thrusting paper at Azfan, it was a quote from Ali Imran's letter verses 102 to 106 that Azfan would read later for the opening of the Feast.

Seeing that Khalisa was curious what they were talking about but he could not hear it because the room was crowded by other HAWASI members who were chatting. The interaction between the two is getting closer. Khalisa does not want to make any prejudices because he can bring something bad to himself.

"I'm out first." Khalisa carries a box of P3Ks in his hand.

Azfan looked up to hear Khalisa's voice about to come out, at a glance he saw Khalisa's grim face. Or just his feelings because a few seconds ago Khalisa still talk with a smile on his face.

"Thank you Khalisa the cake." They said before Khalisa left the room and was not seen behind the door.

Khalisa stepped through the corridor to gather with the medical division.

"Circe!"

Khalisa was aghast to see a male figure who was suddenly in front of him. He glared after finding out that it was Kafa who had been neatly dressed in a white shirt, black pants and a dark blue suit.

"Geez already handsome gini, do you want to go to college looking for girls hm?" Khalisa was surprised to see Kafa's hair was so neat when usually combed never.

"You're looking for a son-in-law for Ummi."

"God willing, may a holy woman accept your disappointment." Khalisa mocked Kafa, "already in the field, Cece want to gather with other committee."

"Welcome on Ce duty, later if I pass out please don't let it go."

"You won't faint." Khalisa knows how powerful Kafa is because his cousin was once a national pascibra with intense training.

Gambyong Dance is the opening ceremony of the Ta'aruf Charm. This year there are 5000 new students who managed to pass the UII entrance selection with 6 non-Muslim students which means there is a decrease compared to last year.

Continued with a welcoming event by the chairman of OC, chairman of SC, chairman of LEM, chairman of DPM, Governor of Special Region of Yogyakarta and lastly the rector of UII.

The melodious sound of the basmalah reading made Khalisa who had originally lowered his head now raised his face, it turned out that this was the answer why Azfan and Syifa looked serious about something.

"Since winning the race Azfan so much more highlighted." Gumam Diah— medical student Khalisa who is also a party committee in the medical division.

Khalisa nodded faintly, he was also happy because that way Azfan could develop more. Khalisa rubbed his arm that felt cold to hear the chant of the letter Ali Imran verse 102. Khalisa followed Azfan's reading in his heart.

The loud sound of the farthest object shocked everyone then followed the screams of the participants of the ceremony a second later. A trembesi twig fell on Azfan's head.

"Bye, Azfan!" He patted Khalisa's arm.

Khalisa turned his head to see Azfan fall from the pulpit where he read the Qur'an just now. Khalisa who was behind ran as fast as possible splitting the ranks of the Party participants.

"Azfan!"

Azfan's eyes twitched, he tried to open his eyes as wide as possible to see someone who shouted his name but could not. His head was sore and sore at the same time. That's Khalisa's voice, right?

"Please palanquin Brother." Pinta Khalisa while taking off his coat because he saw blood flowing from the back of Azfan's head, he pressed the wound with his suit to stop the bleeding.

"It's just a dry twig." Lirih Azfan with a choked voice.

Khalisa turned to look at a fairly large twig that had now been transported by two organizers out of the field. No matter if it was a dry twig or a piece of cloth, it still injured Azfan. Khalisa saw Azfan starting to become unconscious.

Azfan still heard the noise around him but his gaze was completely dark.

Two students rushed Azfan to a stretcher and carried him into an ambulance.

"Khalisa, please hold on to your position." Tell Dafa who is a senior from FK.

Khalisa nodded while rubbing his face wet with tears, hoping that there would be no serious injury to Azfan's head like when he was thrown by Revan. It should be a wound to the head that makes the bleeding means the wound is not serious. Khalisa calmed himself with that thought.

They took Azfan to the UII clinic to get immediate action by a doctor. Khalisa stopped his steps in front of the ER when several nurses closed the door and asked him to wait outside. Khalisa clenched his hands full of Azfan's blood.

"Hopefully the wound is not severe." Said Dafa standing behind Khalisa. He asked Khalisa to sit on a chair while waiting for the doctor to take action on Azfan.

Khalisa nodded, he also hoped so.

"Wouldn't it be that the bleeding shouldn't be severe?" Khalisa sat in a waiting chair 1 meter away with Dafa.

"The theory is so." At least that's what Dafa learned in medicine. He was surprised by the spontaneity of Khalisa when he saw Azfan hit by the twig earlier. Dafa who was also part of the medical division was behind the ranks of the new students and he saw Khalisa running very fast towards Azfan who was lying on the floor.

"You should wash your hands before the blood is dry." Dafa looked at Khalisa's bloodied right hand even dripping on the floor until it looked as if Khalisa's injured hand. "If it's dry it's harder to clean."

Khalisa went to wash his hands on a nearby faucet. Azfan had not even finished his recitation of the Qur'an but he was unconscious first.

Dafa saw Khalisa's shoulder go up and down quickly, apparently Khalisa was still crying. He did not know Khalisa's relationship with Azfan. Dafa actually knew that Levin—seniornya had told him that he liked Khalisa but did not dare to express it. Dafa understands why Levin likes Khalisa because the girl looks sincere and likes to greet others. Dafa who only spoke to Khalisa a few times could see the kindness of the girl.

Khalisa sat down again. This year he has counted 3 times he was in the ER. First when Rindang went to the hospital then himself and now Azfan.

"Where's doctor?" Khalisa went to see the doctor out after about 30 minutes of waiting.

"There were no internal injuries, the bleeding was caused because his scalp was torn and we had already stitched the wound up." The doctor gave an explanation to calm Khalisa.

"No CT Scan needed?" Ask Khalisa.

"I don't think it's necessary but if you want to make sure it's CT scanable and we'll make a referral letter to the hospital."

"Khalisa, we'd better meet Azfan first." Dafa went along, he was curious about Azfan's condition now.

"Yes, excuse me doctor." Khalisa entered the ER followed by Dafa.

Azfan had been conscious since he was taken into the ER although at first he was very dizzy but now he felt better. Azfan did not think that Khalisa had brought him here, he thought that only two students were of course unknown to him. Azfan does not know many students here.

"No CT Scan." Lirih Azfan as Khalisa sits nearby. He heard Khalisa's conversation with the doctor at the door.

"I just want mastiin no deep wounds." Khalisa.

"I'm fine." Azfan did not want to bother others, even his own doctor said that there were no internal injuries.

"Really?"

"Yes Khalisa proof I can recognize you." Azfan tried to joke that Khalisa was not too worried about him.

"I'm sorry, what kind of relationship are you in?" Dafa finally dared to ask because he saw the interaction of Khalisa and Azfan very close.

"Hm?" Khalisa and Azfan both saw Dafa standing beside Khalisa.

"Azfan and I are in the same organization." Answer Khalisa. "Why Brother?"

"I see you guys are very familiar, Khalisa also did not stop crying as long as the doctor treated Azfan."

Azfan saw Khalisa, he realized that there was a trace of tears on the girl's face. Why is Khalisa crying? is Khalisa worried about her?

"I'm just afraid Azfan is okay." Khalisa lowered his head to hide his heated face, could not Dafa pretend not to see him cry. Now Khalisa feels he has been caught. Whether Dafa could not ask when only alone with Khalisa so Azfan would not know that Khalisa was crying earlier. Ahh Khalisa is really embarrassed, he just wants to run away from here.

Azfan thanked Dafa and Khalisa for bringing him here. In addition, Azfan switched the core because he knew Khalisa was uncomfortable with Dafa questions. Although Azfan was curious why Khalisa to cry but the comfort of Khalisa still be his priority.
