Mahabbah Love Khalisa

3

Ashar's Adhan reverberated from all directions which was also a sign that the Khalisa and Huma story sessions had to end. They must immediately fulfill God's call to perform the Ashar prayer.

Of course they do not dare to delay fulfilling the call of God just because they are busy telling stories.

Since Khalisa's meeting with Levin in the hospital, they met quite often on campus amid Levin's busyness by a pile of never-ending college assignments. Several times also Khalisa participated in the meeting of the Mualaf Community to share knowledge.

After Khalisa prayers read the Qur'an as usual, he has a target of completing one juz per day. He also read the translation of the Qur'an and understood its meaning. Do not forget to muroja'ah for the sake of maintaining memorization. If there is no college assignment then he does all that up to magrib. But if there is a task, he does the task of lectures first and reads the translation of the Qur'an after the prayer of the magrib.

The clinking sound of the bell distracts Khalisa, he puts the Qur'an back into place and out of the room still wearing a face to shorten the time.

The Khalisa Apartment is quite spacious if only for itself. There are two rooms and a bathroom, a living room that blends with the dining room according to the wishes of Khalisa who does not want too many walls. The apartment also has a fully equipped kitchen and cooking utensils as well as its own workspace.

Before opening the door, Khalisa saw a monitor next to the door that displayed the face of a short-haired girl shoulder to shoulder. As if he knew he was being seen by the owner of the apartment, the girl waved her hand and showed him a plastic package.

"Just home?" Khalisa opened the door.

Without being invited to enter the girl who was standing in front of the door directly barged in through Khalisa. He is Rindang, Khalisa's best friend since childhood who lives right next door to Khalisa's apartment.

Rindang Anjana is known as a young beauty influencer who is popular among teenagers today. Relying on her beautiful face and ideal body Rindang successfully became a selebgram with followers of more than 100 thousand. But whatever profession is being shady, he is still a friend of Khalisa.

"Yes, very tired." Shindang put the plastic package he carried and lay down on the sofa. Rindang was even still wearing the alma mater suit of Duta Wacana Christian University, he just changed his shoes with house slippers and put a lecture bag in his apartment and went here.

Khalisa walked towards the refrigerator taking one bottle of Rindang's favorite kale juice. Bottled juice is almost always in the refrigerator Khalisa and Rindang because he drank it every day.

"Who was that?" Leafy saw 2 used instant noodle cups on the dining table.

"Just been here, forgot to get a machine." Khalisa took two cups of used noodles on the table, poured the rest of the gravy into the sink before throwing the container into the trash. "What did you buy?"

"Jason bought it." Rindang opened a plastic package bearing the name of one of the minimarkets. Jason was Rindang's lover half a year ago when they met on campus. Jason is his level brother who is also a committee ospek Rindang. So their mainstream stories become lovers.

"Food all this?" Khalisa sat next to Rindang taking out bottled drinks, whole wheat bread, cereal and oatmeal from the plastic one by one. "Jason knows what you can eat."

"Suntikin dong." Rindang gave an injection shaped like a ballpoint pen to Khalisa.

Rindang took off his suit and attached it to the back of the chair. Khalisa revealed Rindang's shirt and injected insulin into the woman's stomach.

"Eat my rice." Rindang's face was flat even though Khalisa was injecting him, he was used to getting the injection.

"What rice?"

"White rice."

"No, I can't." Khalisa shook his head strongly.

"Well, why?"

Khalisa saw Rindang off guard, what question is that?

"A little bit." Rindang held Khalisa's arm, "doctors say it's okay but a little."

Khalisa breathed a heavy sigh. Maybe for most people white rice is just an ordinary staple food that is not special but for diabetics like Rindang, white rice is a special food that he can not eat every day.

Rindang was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes mellitus by a doctor 2 years ago while he was still in high school. At that time Rindang felt his world had collapsed and dark, he would not be able to live a normal life like before. But at such times besides his parents, Khalisa was the one who always strengthened him so that he could survive until now. Khalisa who always spread a positive aura to Rindang so that he can be more grateful for life.

"Where is your design book?" Rindang looked up at Khalisa's hand, "it takes my idea, it's impossible." He had finished a plate of rice with chicken breast and steamed broccoli seasoned with a pinch of salt.

One of the reasons Khalisa and Rindang's friendship has survived until now is that they both have a hobby of making clothing designs. The difference is that Rindang can achieve his goals by continuing to study in the department of product design while Khalisa must set aside his hobby for the responsibility he has carried towards the hospital.

"Nothing is." Khalisa stirred up the dragon fruit juice which was only half a part, because he had eaten with Huma earlier so he only saw Rindang enjoying his special meal of white rice.

"How is it?" Rindang frowned looking straight at Khalisa.

"So there was a girl who accidentally swore her drink to me, my book was also wet and I was entrusted to Mas-mas in Mangan Gelato."

"Why not take it home?" Rindang moved to clean the dish and wash it.

"Fear of tearing on the road so that it's safe I put the cold there, the mas-mas want to coke." Khalisa sipped dragon fruit juice to the toilet following Rindang, "all yes." He put the dirty glass in the sink so that Rindang also washed it.

Rindang turned to look at Khalisa with narrowed eyes, "who is that guy?"

"Hm?" Khalisa's eyebrows shot up, "he's a new employee."

"His name?"

"Azfan."

"Repaint the man." Rindang chuckled to dry his hands with a small towel next to the sink after washing dishes and glasses.

"Why do you talk about it, instead of just saying you need an idea for a task?"

"I'll go back, take a shower." Rindang waltzed away leaving the food and drink he brought earlier on the table of Khalisa's living room. Lazy shady brought them back, after all he ate here more often with Khalisa. "You want to pray too, right?"

"Yes." Yeah." Khalisa turned his head just before Rindang came out.

Khalisa replaced the face he was wearing with black bergo because he had to go out to get rid of the trash. He collected the garbage scattered on the table and put it in a plastic bag lining the trash can. Khalisa was surprised, he only lived alone but his trash place was always full every day.

Khalisa slightly dragged the garbage bag which turned out to be quite heavy. This must be because this morning he made a lot of fruit juice. There was a lot of fruit stock in the refrigerator that was almost rotten so Khalisa made them into juice instead of throwing it away. Of course the juice from fresh fruit is healthier, but Khalisa bought too much fruit so he could not spend it in a short time. Though before going to the market he had promised to buy enough fruit but the promise was somehow evaporated where after seeing a row of fresh fruits, he wanted to buy everything. It is a female trait that is difficult to remove.

"Loh, Azfan!" Khalisa was surprised to see Azfan in the lobby when he finished disposing of the garbage in the shelter located next to the apartment. "Mas live here too?"

The man was also surprised to see Khalisa, he no longer wore his work uniform. Azfan wore white material pants and a gray hoodie that made him look cooler.

"So you live here?" Azfan circled his gaze around, people who live in luxury apartments like this must be only rich people while for him to set foot on his marble floor he was happy. "Khalisa?" He hesitated to mention Khalisa's name a second time. But Azfan wondered why Khalisa was not at all awkward to call his name as if they had known for a long time and became friends.

Khalisa reviewed a smile hearing Azfan mention his name, "yes." He nodded. "Kok I haven't seen you in all this time?"

"Well, isn't there a regular courier anteous?"

"Yes, because I want to go home so I anterin also let me spit."

"What's his name, who knows I know."

"Rindang Anjana." Azfan mentioned the buyer's name on a plastic bag that wraps two cups of vanilla butterscotch gelato.

Khalisa mendelik, since when Rindang eat gelato means Rindang is not allowed to eat processed sweet like that.

"Khalisa know?"

Recognize from birth. "Yes he lives next door to my apartment, and I want to go back."

"Thank you Khalisa." Azfan followed Khalisa to the elevator. "Oh yeah, this is your prayer beads."

Khalisa turned his head after pressing the number button on the elevator.

"Oh, I'm missing there, thank you." Khalisa took his digital red bagbih in Azfan's hand. Khalisa forgot that the prayer beads were not there with him because he had many beads of the same color.

"Call Azfan just don't have to use Mas anyway it looks like we're the same age." Azfan stepped in following Khalisa when the elevator door opened and three people exited from there.

"You went to college here too? what department?" Khalisa pressed the number 26 where his apartment unit is located.

"Ahwal Al-Syakhshiyah, Khalisa himself?" Azfan was really awkward with Khalisa alone in this narrow room, it felt like he wanted to get to the destination floor immediately. Azfan docked to the side of the elevator keeping distance from Khalisa.

"I'm a pharmacy."

Azfan suddenly turned his head to see Khalisa hear the girl's answer, initially he suspected Khalisa was a designer but if you think again there is no major in design at UII.

"Even though I love drawing, I'm a pharmacy kid, weird right?" Khalisa chuckled, he was already used to such a reaction.

Azfan shook his head, "it's precisely Khalisa's great because he can divide his mind between college and hobbies, I'm sure you have a good reason why you choose pharmacy instead of design."

Khalisa glanced at Azfan, through the tail of his eyes he saw a tall figure with hair cut to the side that was also looking at him.

The elevator door opened, a middle-aged couple entered the elevator carrying groceries. They are Khalisa's neighbors on the 25th floor.

"Good evening, Mr. Ira and Mr. Bowo." Khalisa greeted the two of them kindly.

"Hello Khalisa, I can finally see your face again after a long time without seeing." The woman named Ira put her groceries shaking Khalisa's hand.

"Iya Khalisa denger son-in-law of the Father and Mother just gave birth yes, congratulations Ma'am, sir."

"Yes, Mother and Father always ask God to be loved by a grandson as beautiful as you, praise God our prayers are granted." Ira said with a big smile that made Khalisa smile.

"Aw Bu Ira can, I follow his horror."

"Tomorrow to come to the apartment, we want to make a thank you for the birth of our grandchildren, invite Rindang all together." Bowo was listening to a conversation between his wife and Khalisa.

"Inshaa Allah, I'll come sir." Khalisa.

"We will make halal food so you can join us." Ira Timpal.

"Thank you Mom, actually Bu Ira doesn't have to bother with that, I'm so good eh means not good."

Azfan could not help but laugh at Khalisa's joke, he was amazed at the figure of the girl he just met today. Carrying Khalisa is very friendly and comfortable to chat with, Azfan is increasingly shrivelled to be next to an extraordinary girl like Khalisa.

"You can make me laugh the most." Ira laughed wide patting Khalisa's arm slowly.

"Khalisa, we go first, tomorrow don't forget to come." Bowo came out first followed by Ira who waved to Khalisa before the elevator door closed again.

"That's just my neighbor, they really like to give food." Khalisa smiled faintly at Azfan as if he understood that Azfan was wondering about a couple who had just stepped out of the elevator.

The elevator doors opened again when they reached the 26th floor, Khalisa came out first followed by Azfan. They passed through a long corridor to the right and left of which were doors with different numbers.

"That's because Khalisa is good to everyone." Reply Azfan, he saw hundreds of numbers on the doors, he became curious how many apartment units are here.

"Here we go." Khalisa pressed the bell on the door and waited for a while. The smile on Khalisa's face faded when the door was still closed, where was Rindang? "Where is she, still a bath maybe."

"Well, are you there?" The voice made Khalisa and Azfan turn their heads, looking Rindang popping his head through the open door.

Khalisa looked up, he saw the door in front of him. "I'm sorry, ma'am, I got the wrong push, this is my apartment."

Azfan smiled broadly at Khalisa's clumsy face.

Khalisa lowered his head in hiding his face reddened with embarrassment, why could he forget that just now he pressed the bell of his own apartment. Why can he remember thousands of people's names but forget his best friend's own apartment. Basic Khalisa! be shy!

"This is someone who has caught your fancy." Tukas Khalisa with a trembling voice as he restrained the laughter, the laughter he was aiming at himself.

"Oh from Mangan Gelato huh?" Leafy out until not only his head is visible, his body that only wears pants and t-shirt oblong lilac is also visible. The clothes show the level and smooth legs of Rindang.

"When did you eat gelato?" Khalisa saw Rindang suspicious, "didn't he just eat rice?" Khalisa did not want to suddenly high blood sugar.

"For you, this is your favorite, right?" Rindang received two cups of gelato from Azfan's hand. "Thank you, yeah." He said to Azfan.

"Sama-sama, if so please excuse me first, Khalisa thank you already anterin me." He briefly smiled at Khalisa before leaving and said hello.

"Oh so that's what Azfan is called." Rindang handed the gelato to Khalisa by force and immediately entered before hearing Khalisa's nagging.

Rindang deliberately ordered the gelato to find out the figure of Azfan that Khalisa was talking about. Actually, he did not really expect if Azfan would deliver his order but apparently he was lucky because once the experiment directly succeeded.
