Mahabbah Love Khalisa

76

Khalisa's pushing a wheelchair took Renata for a walk around the hospital for a breath of fresh air because these days Renata is not out. This morning Renata's condition was much better, when the doctor examined him, his blood pressure was stable as well as his blood sugar. Renata showed significant development so doctors stopped referring him to hospitals in Surabaya.

"Akong wants to come here this morning." Tukas Khalisa pushed his wheelchair towards the hospital's side garden, which was overgrown with ornamental plants.

"Yesterday when Ama called she said she didn't miss but today even wanted to come here." Renata Cibir.

Khalisa laughed, Jaya did not want to show his love excessively when in fact he was very bucolic to Renata.

Khalisa sitting in a garden chair circulating his gaze to the various corners, he took a breath in a breath of air of the last-goal. Hospital air can not be called fun but Khalisa grateful at least the park here is very well maintained so that patients will not be too stressed.

"Ama said lately it's been difficult to sleep, Ama thinks what?" Khalisa asked gently rubbing the back of Renata's hand.

"Khalisa, do you have any problem if you live in a narrow place with Azfan? if Khalisa does not want Ama can buy one apartment unit so that Khalisa is not confused to find a place to live later." Renata's view makes Khalisa could not bear to see it.

"Ama, Khalisa is not at all a problem to live anywhere because for Khalisa, there is Mas Azfan then everything will be fine, it's good that the place is narrower so that Khalisa time is not much seized to clean the apartment." Khalisa boasted Renata's soothing smile that she was fine wherever she lived. "I know, the apartment was Ama who chose and Khalisa really liked the same place but later if Mas Azfan wanted us out then Khalisa would follow it."

Renata sighed heavily imagining her beloved granddaughter not living in her chosen apartment.

"Ama believe you're the same as Mas Azfan?"

Renata finally nodded after arguing with himself, instead of distrusting Azfan. Renata just does not want to repeat the same mistake when Daniel and Ica just married first. They had to sell the dowry to pay for the contract of the house. Renata doesn't want that to happen to Khalisa.

"Let's go in, Khalisa's gonna show you the dress." Khalisa left, he has not shown his homemade dress to Renata.

Khalisa saw Azfan at the end of the corridor walking towards him and Renata.

"I just wanted to let you know that Akong has come." Tukas Azfan, "i am the one who pushes." He replaced Khalisa pushing the Renata wheelchair.

"Mas already eaten?" Ask Khalisa while holding Azfan's hand. Khalisa asked Azfan to have breakfast in the hospital cafeteria while he took Renata for a walk.

"I also bought rice pecel for Haura."

"Thank You."

"Haura?" Since last night Renata heard Azfan calling Khalisa Haura. "That's Azfan's call to Khalisa?"

"True Ama, it means pure white and it fits perfectly with Khalisa." Azfan looked at Khalisa for a moment.

"What a pretty name." Praise Renata.

Arriving at Renata's ward, they find Jaya, Ica and Zunaira waiting. As soon as he saw Khalisa, Zunaira immediately jumped to embrace his Cece. Even Zunaira who weighs almost the same as Khalisa was whining for a sling. Zunaira was upset that Khalisa did not return home first but went straight to the hospital.

"Cece hasn't eaten yet so don't be strong carrying Zunaira." Khalisa was looking for an excuse so that Zunaira did not ask for a sling.

"Gendong Mas is here." Azfan stretched out his hand to hold Zunaira.

Khalisa turned his back on Azfan, strong isn't he?

Azfan nodded faintly, "strong, Haura's arms are strong."

"Geez, don't ask for a sling." Ica Scolds.

"You're carrying the back." Zunaira jumped up in excitement.

"Can." Azfan crouched down in front of Zunaira.

Zunaira quickly climbed onto Azfan's back making the others shake because of his behavior.

"Can you go home today?" Tanya Jaya as Renata climbs back up to the top of the gurney.

"Not Pa, we'll wait until Mama's fully recovered." Ica replied, she had just met with the doctor about Renata's condition this morning.

"Udah come down, pity her Mas tired." Pinta Ica on Zunaira.

Zunaira said he got off Azfan's back and sat down next to Khalisa. Zunaira is hyperactive who can't be far from Khalisa.

"Loh Zunaira doesn't go to school?" Khalisa rubbed Zunaira's long hair.

"Zunai truant Ce, want to meet Cece he said." Ica pulled Renata's blanket to the waist.

"That's not okay dong should be school later go home school directly here."

"But Cece was supposed to go to college, but why is Ce Khalisa here?" Reply Zunaira.

"Cece can attend online school." Khalisa mentowel Zunaira's nose is anxious, will his son be similar to Zunaira? if so, Khalisa will be overwhelmed to answer every question of the child.

"This is Zunai Akong's bench." Jaya patted her thigh asking Zunaira to sit on her lap.

Zunaira.

"Why?"

"Later Akong's femur cracked because Zunai is heavy." Tukas Zunaira with an innocent face that invites laughter. Apparently Zunaira is self-conscious that he is heavy but he still likes to ask for Khalisa's sling when his skinny Cece is not able to lift his body.

"Can't Zunai go up to Ama's bed?" Zunaira pointed at Renata's gurney, he wanted to go up there.

"Can, here." Renata happily allowed Zunaira to ride.

"But didn't the bed collapse?"

"It is not possible to collapse, if the collapse Zunai should make the same report that has a hospital because the gurney is less strong than Ama and Zunai will be light." Jaya glanced at Khalisa who was sitting beside her.

"It's strong." Quick reply Khalisa.

Zunaira asks Azfan for help to raise her to the top of the gurney right next to Renata's feet.

"Assalamualaik." The door opened and Aisyah and the twins emerged from behind the glass door.

"Mosur." Answer them.

"It was a rame here." Aisyah put the package on the table, she brought food and Renata's laptop. Last night Renata asked Aisyah to bring the laptop.

"Loh Fatah same Fatimah not school too?" Khalisa rubbed the head of Fatah who experienced it then Fatimah—si beautiful which is very similar to Umar. Among Jaya and Renata's grandchildren only Fatimah does not look like a descendant of Chinese. Fatimah inherited the face of Abi.

"Don't be surprised because his Akong used to like truancy." Tukas Renata while looking at Jaya.

Jaya complained about the protest for leaking bad things to their grandchildren. Because they used to go to school in the same place, Renata knew all about Jaya's behavior.

"Jeez Akong, I did not expect it turned out to like truancy." Khalisa LEDEK.

"Ssshhh later imitated Meme you the naughty." Akong pointed at Zunaira.

Renata was happy to see his grandchildren gathered like this minus the Kafa and Azmal that were impossible to truant. During this time Renata saw Azmal was his most diligent grandson among others. But seeing this was enough to make Renata happy, the bad thoughts that had been up for some time now evaporate with laughter heard in the room.

"Mas, sit." Khalisa patted the empty spot beside him to get Azfan to sit down.

Azfan rushed to sit beside Khalisa, he was happy to gather with the Khalisa family like this. They are all cheerful and able to create a warm atmosphere. Azfan used to imagine the Khalisa family was a stiff person and rarely joked. Their chatter is just about business and expensive stuff. But Azfan was wrong, all the Khalisa family was very friendly and immediately received Azfan except Kafa.

"The rice hasn't been eaten yet." Azfan whispered in Khalisa's ear while glancing at the food box on the table that was almost forgotten.

"Oh yeah, I forgot." Khalisa took the box and left with Azfan for breakfast.

Zunaira, who was engrossed in Fatimah, was unaware of Khalisa's departure. If he knew for sure he would whine to go wherever Khalisa went.

******

Khalisa chose breakfast in the park that he and Renata came to earlier because the atmosphere in the place was quite comfortable especially to enjoy a pack of pecel rice.

"I can roll over?" Azfan pulled out his phone to read the Qur'an through the app.

"May you love."

The aroma of peanut sauce wafted when Khalisa opened the rice pecel wrap, saliva filled his mouth cavity saw rice with vegetable ferns, genjer and bean sprouts plus tempe fried and rempeyek.

"Where according to Mas, is the rice pecel here?"

"Enak kok and more or less the same as pecel in Central Java but sometimes if the pecel there is using a drum well if here use peyek."

Khalisa started to enjoy his food after reciting the prayer.

"Can I request a letter?" Khalisa asked after spending the first bribe.

"Can you, what letter?" Azfan happily invited Khalisa to ask for any letter to be read.

"Al-Anbiyaa."

"Good baby." Azfan opened Al-Anbiyaa's letter and began to read it.

Eat breakfast much more delicious accompanied by the melodious sound of Azfan. Khalisa had just memorized the translation of the letter so he asked Azfan to read it. The letter also describes the people who turned away and did not believe the revelation that was sent down to the Prophet Muhammad.

"I'll buy you a drink first." Khalisa tidied up the food and put it in the trash.

Azfan saw Khalisa's departure, he had bought mineral water earlier but they forgot to bring it.

The location of the canteen is not too far from the park so that Khalisa can immediately get water to push the tempeh stuck in his throat.

"Free for Ma'am." The cafeteria guard refused Khalisa to pay for the mineral water.

"Bak Lusi was yesterday given free time today is free too anyway?" Khalisa still gave a piece of money 50 thousand to the canteen keeper named Lusi. "Thank you, yeah." He hurried from there.

"This boy is mostly!" Lusi wanted to pursue Khalisa but Khalisa had already disappeared.

Khalisa half ran through a crowded corridor by the patient's family. When else could he be jogging like this.

"Khalisa, what's wrong?" Levin passed Khalisa at the end of the corridor.

"Eh," Khalisa stopped, "Coko wants to go home?" He sees Levin carrying a bag and jacket attached to his arm. Levin's face looked tired from having to watch the night.

"Yes, why are you running around?"

"There's nothing, just want to exercise after eating." Khalisa developed a big smile showing his neat rows of teeth. He held his stomach, ah Khalisa forgot that running after eating was not good for his body at all.

"Don't run around in the corridor, danger."

"I'm sorry, doctor." Khalisa linked his hands in front of his chest apologizing because he could harm others. He just avoided Lucia.

Levin chuckles, why Khalisa's behavior is so adorable. Unfortunately Levin can't have Khalisa, too bad.

"Oh yes I just heard that Rindang shahadat, is it true?"

"Totally." Khalisa.

For a while Levin seemed surprised because he did not think that Rindang could worship because Khalisa's friend was very diligent in worship. Maybe Levin would not be too surprised if he heard the news from others but different again if the one who said it was Khalisa—the closest person to Rindang. Of course Khalisa is not lying.

"Can't you?" Levin gawking.

Khalisa's eyebrows raised, what does the meaning of the sentence really mean? if Levin himself had ever tasted what sweetness the direction that once approached him.

"May Allah guide whomsoever He will." Khalisa finally answered.

"I know but a Rindang Anjana?"

"I didn't believe it at first either when he said, Khalisa I want to follow your Lord." Khalisa imitated Rindang's style of speech at the time. "I thought he was just kidding or mabok again but it turns out he was serious, he broke up Jason in front of Mas Azfan and I then firmly he said he wanted to follow Lord Khalisa." Khalisa was still goosebumps when he recounted it.

"God willing." Levin could say nothing but praise to God who had guided Rindang.

"Koko can invite Rindang to join the community of converts because there Rindang will meet many people the same as it seems, of course I will also accompany him."

"Let's call him."

"My sweet and cute Koko Kamsia, yes Koko has been careful on the road." Khalisa waved at Levin and passed from there.

Levin stared at Khalisa's tiny back, which grew farther away and disappeared after turning right, it was the road to the hospital's side garden.

"He must get rid of the habit of praising others." Levin murmured while holding his cheek which was warming up when Khalisa praised him. Vin knew he had a husband.
