Mahabbah Love Khalisa

5

"Ngapain anyway all the way here just want to buy a cake." Rindang nagged Khalisa because they had been in the car for over half an hour to find the cake shop Khalisa was referring to.

Khalisa wants to buy a cake for Ria and Bowo who invite him to lunch together. Khalisa wants to buy the cake that he says is the most delicious in the entire city of Sleman. Although according to Khalisa all the cakes he tried here were delicious but he wanted to try cakes from other stores.

The road was pretty crowded on Saturday morning. After the meeting with HIQMA, Khalisa immediately picked Rindang up at the apartment to go together to buy a cake.

"You can't take me to the cake shop." Shady pursed his mouth irritated because he could not eat cake, his body did not allow. "You know for yourself that I used to love eating Red Velvet."

"Yes sorry, who else would I invite other than Rindang Anjana, you will also be invited with Bu Ria." Khalisa saw the rearview mirror making sure there was no vehicle behind as he was about to turn his car into the Paradise Bakery yard. "Here's the cake shop I'm talking about." Khalisa removed the seat belt and re-attached his bag to his shoulder. "You're here if you don't want to come inside."

"Follow it, even though I can't eat as much as I can see the cakes there." Rindang removed the seat belt and got off the car following Khalisa.

"Daunt bye." Khalisa took a step back, the row of calligraphy in front of a building was not too big to distract him. He had often seen various types of calligraphy but that was not what attracted his attention but someone who was seriously scraping ink on the canvas.

"Who the hell?" Rindang followed Khalisa's point of view. "He's that cute Mas Gelato."

Khalisa nodded faintly stepping closer to the calligraphy shop.

Rindang chuckled, "so you also admit that he is cute."

"He's a gelato, right."

Rindang sneered, said it was cute, his mind.

From a distance Azfan was not aware that there were two girls walking towards him. When viewed the appearance of both is very inversely proportional. Khalisa wore a pink robe and a long headscarf with matching colors while Rindang wore a mint-colored crop top combined with blue bele jeans. Rindang shows her hair color is blue green with her pigtails partially. He is indeed a hobby of changing hair color depending on his mood.

"Assalamualaik." Khalisa said a greeting that Azfan automatically answered but remained focused on the canvas without lifting his face at all.

"Assalamualaikum Mas gelato." Rindang said his greetings.

Finally Azfan looked up, for a moment he was surprised to see Khalisa and one friend named Rindang, if Azfan did not remember wrong. The black ink container in Azfan's hand almost fell so surprised he saw Khalisa here.

"Waalaikum—" Azfan glanced at Khalisa, for some reason he felt hesitant when he wanted to continue his greeting to Rindang.

Khalisa nodded faintly as if understanding the meaning of Azfan's gaze.

"This is the seat?" Khalisa tried to guess the calligraphy that Azfan wanted to make.

"Yes, I just got to work on it after I got home from college."

"This is your shop?" Rindang circulated the view around the store, there were many calligraphy with various writing styles.

"No, I work here." Azfan put the brush and ink in his hand and moved.

"You work in two places at once?" Ask Khalisa, how Azfan divides his time between college and work. Azfan rarely goes to organizational meetings.

"Only every Saturday and Sunday is it not time to go home."

"Your left hand is very skilled." Khalisa was about to touch the ink.

"It's not dry yet." Tukas Azfan so that Khalisa does not touch the results of his calligraphy which is only half-finished.

"Sorry." Khalisa immediately withdrew his hand, almost ruining the extraordinary work with his finger.

"Not so, I'm afraid the ink's dirtying your hand."

Shady smile seductively plus a little elbow in the stomach Khalisa makes the girl limp.

"God gave you such an amazing hand that you can produce calligraphy this good, your writing on gelato glass is also good."

"Alhamdulillah, it may be a derivative of the hand of the mother who is also skilled." Azfan smiled clumsyly whenever Khalisa praised him, he never heard anyone else so often praising his skill both writing and qiraah. But Khalisa praised everything.

"Your mother is also good at calligraphy?"

Azfan shook his head, "The mother of one of the batik artisans wrote in Giriloyo."

"Not that we've been there when nyari batik fabric make clothes that you want to wear to the anniversary event Mama Papa Ko Levin." Rindang remembers a week ago they went to Bantul and had visited Giriloyo Hamlet to look for clothing materials that Khalisa designed himself.

"Oh yes, but we go to the store anyway not directly come to the craftsman." Initially they did want to go directly to the batik craftsman place but it was late in the afternoon so they had to go home soon.

"Let's go there again, we wear twin clothes to the anniversary event."

"That's three more days, it won't hunt."

"Sunday tomorrow I go home to Bantul." Azfan chimed in.

"Frankly, Khalisa is the same as me coming with you." Sahut Rindang fast.

Khalisa's eyes are rounded, although they often wear clothes with the same motif or color for certain events but Khalisa wondered why so suddenly.

"Hm?" Azfan bengong, "but I'm on a motorcycle."

"Can you drive a car?" Ask Rindang.

"Can." Azfan.

"Don't maksa dong, shy to know." Khalisa whispered, It is not good to take Azfan with two newly known girls. Maybe for Rindang this is common but Khalisa knows that Azfan is a shy man.

"Since when have you been ashamed?" The shady whispered in Khalisa's ear. Wouldn't it be nice if they left together, electricity-saving calculations. "Azfan just calm down if you're embarrassed, I can take Jason, you show me the way."

"Are you not going to church?" Khalisa still hesitated to take Azfan away with them.

"I'm at an online service." Rindang put on the widest smile to seduce Khalisa.

"Azfan, if you don't want anything." Khalisa.

"It's okay, I want it." Finally Azfan commented on the thin smile of accepting Rindang's invitation. "Let's go morning."

"Catet your phone number." Rindang thrust his phone at Azfan.

Azfan received Rindang's phone carefully afraid of dropping it. He tapped some numbers on the touch screen and returned them to Rindang.

"Thank you Azfan, I'm sorry I'm so shady to take care of you."

"It's okay, besides even if you guys don't go to Bantul, I'll just go home." Azfan rubbed his neck in nervousness. "Khalisa and Rindang want to come here or—"

"Yes, I forgot." Khalisa pulled Rindang's hand, "the next time I want to go to the next cake shop and see you come here first."

"Oh." Azfan long Oh.

"If that's how we go first next time I stop by again look around the inside."

"See doang, buy dong." Rindang melingtek Khalisa.

"Assalamualaik." Khalisa immediately pulled Rindang's hand and took him away from there before his best friend blabbed again.

Azfan watched as Khalisa's back and Rindang drifted further away. Azfan was amazed at them for being able to establish a harmonious friendship even though the two were different religions.

Rindang eyes glittering saw a row of cakes displayed in the display case with various shapes and colors. They all look tempting. But even though their appearance is very beautiful but for Rindang it is poison, maybe he could have died with just one piece of brownies. That's because the pancreas is no longer able to produce insulin hormone.

"You can see it's happy." Rindang muttered to himself watching every cake displayed on the glass display case while Khalisa was also busy choosing the cake he would give to Ria.

"May you please write, 'congratulations on the birth of the first grandchild' yes." Khalisa had finished choosing one white cake with edible flower decorations on it.

"Udah finished?" Rindang approached Khalisa, "very fast." He saw one of the store employees busy writing using cream on the cake Khalisa.

"Emang how much longer we have here, the journey is also quite far." Khalisa's not good until they're late. Moreover, Ria and Bowo are very good at Khalisa and Rindang.

"I'm still at home." Because he could not eat, Rindang had to be satisfied just by looking at him.

"It's just here." Spray Khalisa.

"Silter." Rindang pursed his mouth following Khalisa to the cashier to pay for a cake that had been written and packed beautifully ready to be taken home.

******

The circle-shaped table in the middle of the room is full of various types of food cooked by Ria to welcome the neighbors who invited her to lunch together. Ria and Bowo held the meal as a form of gratitude for the birth of the first grandchild.

"Good day, Miss Ria." Rindang entered followed by Khalisa who brought the cake in his hand.

"Geez, what did you bring?" Ria is surprised to see Khalisa carrying a big enough box, he only invites them to lunch but the kind Khalisa actually brings him a gift.

Khalisa did not immediately answer putting the cake wrapped in a red box and immediately opened it.

Ria's eyes rounded to see a beautiful cake emerge from the box, she thanked him and hugged Khalisa. Since first meeting Ria immediately liked Khalisa and Rindang, although still young they are very polite and can appreciate older people.

"Oh yeah, this is Mom's youngest son named Revan." Ria pulls the hand of an athletic boy to introduce him to Khalisa and Rindang.

"Hello, Leafy." Rindang reached out to Revan.

"Hi, Revan." Revan shook Rindang's hand with a thin smile.

"Khalisa." Khalisa hurriedly linked his hands in front of his chest before Revan reached out to him.

"Mommy used to tell me about you two." Tukas Revan on both.

"Revan just got back from the Aussie." Said Ria inviting them to sit while waiting for another neighbor.

"Well, did you just graduate?" Rindang looked at Revan who was sitting next to Ria.

"Yes, you both went to UII here?" Revan sees Khalisa and Rindang taking turns. In the past he only imagined the figure of two girls based on the story of Ria. Now Revan can see it in person.

"I'm at UII, Rindang at Duta Wacana." Answer Khalisa.

One by one the neighbors arrived, Ria and Bowo immediately let them eat before the food turned cold.

They also enjoyed the cake that Khalisa brought and even brought home because Ria could not eat too much sweet food while the cake was large enough.
