Mahabbah Love Khalisa

66

Khalisa's gaze was not very clear when he just opened his eyes, he vaguely saw the figure of Azfan right in front of his face. Khalisa smiled looking at Azfan's calm face that was sleeping. Khalisa heard Azfan's soft snoring, he was anxious not to touch Azfan's nose.

Khalisa closed his own mouth so as not to cause laughter that is too tight while pressing Azfan's nose pointed. He moved to Azfan's thick eyebrows though not as thick as Fawas's.

Azfan squirmed as he felt someone's hand touch his face. Khalisa immediately put away his hand because he had awakened Azfan.

"It's dawn?" Azfan asked with a hoarse voice typical of people just waking up.

"Not yet." Khalisa tightened his body at Azfan to get rid of the distance between them.

Azfan hugged the tiny body of the wife who was so easily caught and closed his eyes again. For a moment Khalisa's body stiffened because it was not accustomed to the existence of Azfan. But after a while Khalisa could relax when Azfan patted his back like he was putting a child to sleep.

"It's cold." Azfan Murmuring.

"Want a warm bath?" Khalisa's drowsiness had disappeared completely because he was used to waking up before dawn.

"Good idea." Azfan opened his eyes to look at Khalisa's face.

"I fill the water first." Khalisa was about to break away from Azfan's arm trap but Azfan just tightened his embrace. "Mas, he said he'd take a shower."

With a heavy heart Azfan let go of his embrace and let Khalisa get out of bed. He got up and hurried to make up their messy beds. Even one pillow was poked on the floor pitifully. Azfan wondered what they were doing last night until the king-size bed was so messy.

Wait a minute, Azfan just heard Khalisa call him Mas, since when?

Initially Azfan lowered all the pillows and two flower petal-shaped dolls at the end of the bed so that he could easily tidy up the bed cover that looked tangled.

Azfan reassembled two pillows and folded up the thick blanket. Finally, he placed the doll in the corner of the bed as before.

"It." Khalisa came from behind the bathroom door. He was shocked when his bed was tidy. Ah apparently Azfan is good about cleaning the house. Khalisa know when visiting the boarding place Azfan, although narrow but Azfan arrange it until comfortable to live. "Mandi with ya."

"Hm?" Azfan's eyebrows raised, taking a bath together? He never even thought about it before. "Haura isn't afraid?"

"Fear why?"

"Fear I did something like last night." Azfan walked over to Khalisa in front of the bathroom door.

"Will it again?"

"You're tired, right?" Azfan rubbed Khalisa's hair gently.

"That's not something I'm tired of."

Azfan chuckled at Khalisa's adorable expression, "shower." How could Khalisa say it was not something tiring when Azfan could see clearly if Khalisa was exhausted. Moreover, they did not rest from the morning.

"You take a bath, I want to take a shower." Pinta Khalisa, he had filled the bathtub with warm water and sowed sea salt and soap until the bathtub was full of foam.

"I've never bathed in a tub like this."

"Nothing goes in, it will fit right in your skin shower will be soft like a baby."

"Is this the secret that Haura's skin can be smooth and white?" Azfan climbed onto the tub full of foam.

Khalisa laughed, he didn't even notice that.

"You want this shampoo?" Khalisa showed Azfan a black shampoo bottle.

"Alindra?" Azfan read the shampoo brand, he did not know if Daniel company also issued shampoo products like this.

"Yes, Alindra Beauty has a lot of shampoo, soap and other care products that are handled the same Ai Aisyah."

"Gee." It was the only thing that managed to come out of Azfan's mouth from being too amazed. "All of the Haura family are very productive."

"I pinched his head all together." Khalisa took over the shampoo and wet Azfan's hair before pouring a little shampoo because Azfan's hair was not too thick. Looks like Azfan just shaved it off.

"Thank you Haura." Azfan closed his eyes enjoying Khalisa massage on his head.

"Akong said success does not belong to lazy people, if we prefer leyeh-leyeh while playing hp while others work then do not be surprised if success cannot be ours."

Azfan smiled, it was fitting that he almost never saw Khalisa standing still without doing anything. Every chance Khalisa definitely draws a clothing design or something else. It turns out that the nature has been instilled in the Khalisa family since childhood.

"Haura isn't ashamed to have a husband like me?"

Khalisa stopped his movement because he was surprised by Azfan's question, he did not like Azfan to ask like that.

"I'm not a great man like you." Azfan only had a small shop, it was thanks to the kindness of Daniel who let him use the store building. If not for sure until now Azfan still works at Mangan Gelato and there is no time to follow the activities of the organization.

"Awh!" Azfan squealed as Khalisa massaged his head tightly. "What's the matter, baby?"

"Don't like it, I don't like it." Khalisa ended his massage service and took a shower. "Before proposing to you, I've thought about it many times and days so it wasn't a decision I took rashly, it was the result of my long thinking and I had no reason to be ashamed." Khalisa said it all with excitement, there was a sense of tightness that perched on his chest when Azfan said such a thing.

When Khalisa's family agreed to marry Azfan, why did he think that Khalisa was ashamed to have a husband like him.

They both fell silent. Only the gurgling of water was heard in the bathroom. Azfan finished his bath quickly and wore a white bathrobe hanging near the bathtub.

Khalisa also finished bathing and wearing the same bathrobe with Azfan because it was provided for them.

"I'm sorry." Azfan held Khalisa's hand at the door, "excuse me, Haura, I won't ask you that question again."

Khalisa turned his head, his eyes reddened not because he wanted to cry but because there was a foam shampoo that entered his eyes just now.

"In my eyes, you're perfect there's no reproach."

Azfan pulled Khalisa into his arms, he regretted asking Khalisa like that. It has offended Khalisa.

"You must walk confidently beside me, everyone praises you, you are handsome and have a good voice, you always reflect the nature of ghadhul bashar, how I did not fall in love with you."

God, why can Haura say something that makes this heart feel calm.

"I can only devote all my love to you." Azfan kissed Khalisa lama's forehead, he was really grateful because Khalisa accepted himself without demanding anything.

Azfan went down the stairs carefully, from up here he could see a spacious living room with a heart-red sofa. There is a Daniel and Ica wedding photo on one side of the wall and a family photo with the largest frame size even bigger than Khalisa's dowry.

When he first visited this house Azfan did not pay too much attention to the photos, last night he also did not have time to see it.

On the other hand there are many calligraphy arranged so neat that it is unsightly. Three of them are calligraphy made by Azfan that Daniel bought during the campus festival. Azfan's smile turned out Daniel really put it on display.

"Papa." Azfan looked at Daniel as he opened the main door of the house. He thought Daniel was leaving first.

"Let's go together, I'm waiting for you." Daniel got up from the chair on the front porch, he put the prayer mat on his shoulder. "By the motor."

"If so let me drive Pa."

"okay."

They boarded a Honda Scoopy owned by Daniel that he had since the beginning of married Ica and can still be used until now as long as the distance is not too far away.

"It's an old motorbike, still using gasoline." Daniel climbed behind Azfan.

"But still good, Pa." Azfan turned on the motor and started running it. The security guard opened the gate for him deftly.

The mosque can be reached 5 minutes by motorbike at moderate speed especially during the trip Azfan and Daniel fill it with small talk. Daniel's friendly care like Khalisa made Azfan easily familiar with the in-laws. Especially before they also often chat either directly or over the phone.

"Azfan." Ica brought a plate of dates over to Azfan who had just entered.

"Yes Bu Ica uh Mama." Azfan is not used to calling Ica as mama.

"Please take this upstairs, yes, for you and Khalisa." Ica thrust the plate at Azfan.

"Thank you Ma." Azfan took over a plate of dates from Ica's hand.

"Papa wants to." Daniel came out the door.

"There's a back, Pa." Tukas Ica, he kissed the back of the hand of the husband who had just returned from the mosque.

"Whoever consumes seven dates ajwa in the morning, then on that day he will not be exposed to poison or magic.” Daniel mentions the hadiths of Bukhari and Muslim history about the ajwa date.

"Eating this is okay, Pa." Azfan offered the date to Daniel.

"Eh don't that Mama has already calculated for Khalisa the same Azfan, in the kitchen there are still many, come." Ica pulls Daniel into the kitchen to eat dates.

"Mommy's cheek can't you?" Daniel grabs Ica from the side and bites her cheek.

"Papa shameless to know there is Azfan." Ica nudged Daniel to stop doing that.

Azfan smiled at Daniel and Ica who were so romantic as newlyweds. Azfan stepped up the stairs to get to the room on the floor. He knocked on the door before opening it.

When entering Azfan saw Khalisa was reciting on a prayer mat using digital prayer beads. Khalisa stopped his activities and turned to hear Azfan coming.

"Mama give me dates." Azfan also sat on the prayer rug offering the ajwa date he brought.

Khalisa reviews the smile of putting his prayer beads to eat dates after saying bismillah.

"I'm a bribe, my hands are clean." Azfan feed the date to Khalisa and he even separates the seeds.

"Nothing to drink, I'll go downstairs and grab a drink." Khalisa went from the top of the prayer mat to fetch water because the bottle in his room had been empty since last night.

Khalisa was surprised to see Mar at the door.

"I'm sorry, Non Khalisa, I was told to drink." Mareta gave Khalisa two bottles of mineral water.

"I just wanted to come down to grab a drink, Mama, really attention." Khalisa smiled widely because Ica was so attentive to him and Azfan.

"Later Non same Mas Azfan want breakfast below or food I anterin here?"

"I'll be down in a minute, thanks to Bi Mar."

"Together Non, excuse me first."

Khalisa again closed the door and placed two bottles of mineral water on the table.

After spending 7 dates, Khalisa asked Azfan to listen to his reading. He was memorizing the translations of the Qur'an that had been lost in some juz. If he can remember people's names then another case with the translation of the Qur'an, several times Khalisa did not smoothly mention it.

"What letter, dear?" Ask Azfan.

"Starting from the first verse of An-nisa, O people! Fear your Lord .... "

"Do you want me to read the Arabic first?"

"May I be better." Khalisa was happy if Azfan wanted to read the first verse for him so that he could more easily remember it.

Khalisa noticed Azfan who was reading the letter of An-Nisa the first verse. Azfan's melodious voice filled the room, if the AC could cool Khalisa's body then Azfan's voice could cool his heart. The good news is that Khalisa can hear the sound every morning without having to open a laptop to play Azfan video during an MTQ race on campus.

"Haura please memorize the translation." Azfan cried but Khalisa did not dwell, "Haura." He slightly shook the wife's body, "you daydream?"

"Hm? not really." Khalisa rubbed his face, he admired Azfan too much to realize that her husband had finished his reading.

Azfan smiled widely, why is Khalisa's behavior so adorable.

"How can you remember that Haura wasn't serious."

Khalisa laughed embarrassedly, he should not face this way with Azfan because he could not focus because of the good looks of the husband.

"I'm hungry so I can't concentrate." Khalisa held his stomach, to be honest he was hungry because yesterday only ate a little. Khalisa did not want his wedding dress to look ugly because he ate too much. "You hug first." Khalisa stretched his arms around Azfan.
