Mahabbah Love Khalisa

82

Khalisa and Azfan returned to their usual activities. After college Azfan will go directly to his calligraphy shop, keep the store while making calligraphy and wall displays that are in great demand by buyers from various circles. Sometimes Azfan also meets the invitation to study after getting encouragement from Khalisa who said God gave Azfan the gift of a beautiful voice then it is not fair if he only saves for himself.

Usually the committee will give money to Azfan after the study is completed. Azfan kept the money in his own savings, he and Khalisa had plans to open tutoring for those who wanted to memorize the Qur'an. Even though they did not know when they could raise enough money to open such a place. They gather little by little to realize the dream.

Khalisa and Azfan learned from Daniel who made the convert community until now has many members almost all over Indonesia. He also learned from Jaya who built a special hospital for those who are less able.

Without feeling their marriage entered the eighth month. The two households walked harmoniously and lovingly although sometimes spiced up a little quarrel. But neither Khalisa nor Azfan hesitated to apologize first.

This month they also had to get out of the apartment that Khalisa had occupied since the beginning of his studies at UII. There are a lot of memories left in that apartment. Good neighbors, friendly apartment staff and a comfortable environment made Khalisa heavily abandon him. But he also did not mind living anywhere as long as with Azfan.

Every month Khalisa always hopes that he has a late period that indicates the presence of a fetus in his stomach. But God has not granted their prayers to have children until the marriage runs 8 months. Azfan never demanded Khalisa to get pregnant, he accepted whatever the circumstances of his wife. For Azfan marriage is not only about heredity, there are still many things they can do in terms of worshiping God.

They found a rented house close to the campus. Not too big, but enough to live. It has two bedrooms and one bathroom as well as a living room and dining room that is not spacious. Fortunately Khalisa has quite complete furniture so when moving residence he does not need to buy new. Many kitchen tools wedding gifts from friends Khalisa that can still be used today. It helps them save money.

Khalisa was also assisted by his two best friends, Rindang and Huma and Geza moved things from the apartment to the house as well as arranging. Coincidentally the Geza boarding place is close to the new homes of Khalisa and Azfan. As for large items such as sofas and cabinets, Khalisa uses the services of moving house.

"Drink first." Khalisa put iced tea on the table for Rindang, Huma, Geza and Azfan who rested after arranging the items in their house. Khalisa poured iced tea for Azfan.

"Bak didn't pour me tea?" Geza raised his glass.

"Pour yourself." Hiss Azfan.

"Oh my goodness, Azfan, that time cannot be."

"Can't."

"Don't try to wake up a sleeping lion, let me pour it for you." Huma poured tea for Geza to stop fussing about it.

"Thank you Maira." Geza sumringah's.

"Maira?" Rindang and Khalisa repeat Geza's call to Huma in surprise.

"But to my surprise, that's his name." Geza said after sipping half a glass of iced tea made by Khalisa which was slightly tasteless. He wanted to protest but pity Khalisa who had made it.

"Yes but no one called Maira before." Rindang sneered.

"That's a special call to make Geza memorable in Huma's heart." Khalisa.

"Don't like teasing if there's no serious intention." Azfan put down his empty glass. He shifted his body so that Khalisa could sit down.

"Beneer Fan, this child does not have to hesitate to say the same thing." Huma pointed at Geza because he likes to make it wrong when he knows Geza is a guy who is adept at joking while tempting the opposite sex. Huma had already tried to build a fortress to ward off Geza's temptation but it didn't work. Since first meeting Huma has paid more attention to the handsome handsome Geza—si that is cute and likes to laugh even though his laugh is crisp like crackers.

"And Maira herself said that we're the same age." Geza doesn't want to lose.

"Khalisa, you're a nasehatin a child." Huma surrendered to Geza, he had to keep himself as an unmarried Muslim. Huma became embarrassed at Rindang who was so maintaining his character as a woman even now Rindang has Istiqomah wearing a veil except to the campus because it is a Christian university. While Huma felt that he was still far behind by Rindang.

"Don't like to spread the charm of a hot-tempered chick." Omel Khalisa on Geza.

Azfan spontaneously turned to Khalisa, he frowned because Khalisa said Geza was handsome.

"What?" Khalisa returned Azfan's strange gaze. Did he make a mistake?

Haura, how dare you say another handsome guy in front of me? Haura, you must get punished!

"Let me be the son of a kayak like Madam Khalisa, I would have married Maira." Sahut Geza lightly as if marriage is as easy as turning the palm of the hand.

"Close your ears." Rindang covered both ears of Huma so as not to hear Geza's chattering.

"Mending you home." Remove Huma.

"Wait a minute don't esmosi later hypertension." Geza pulled something out of the hoodie pocket he was wearing. "Make Maira."

Huma turned his head to see a figure of a Harry Potter character who was holding a stick, it was a figure issued last year and Huma did not have it.

"I'm sincere about not asking for anything in return." Geza convinces Huma who looks hesitant to accept the figure in his hand. "Funny right?"

"It's funny." Huma snatched the figure and held it, he could not refuse it because he liked Harry Potter. "But my favorite character is not Harry Potter."

"Keep who?" Geza regretted buying the rare figure if it turned out Huma did not like it.

"Who is that?" Azfan whispered to Khalisa, he did not understand what Huma and Geza were talking about.

"That's the antagonist in the Harry Potter movies." Khalisa clearly in a soft voice.

"Let's go back, let Khalisa and Azfan rest." Take Rindang before Huma dissolves into the discussion of his favorite series with Geza.

"Oh my goodness Ririn's mother likes to rush this when it is still afternoon." Geza pretended to glance at the circular watch in his left hand.

"Ririn who, you really like to change people's names." Rindang.

"I'm not changing but if the Chinese name likes to be repeated, Ling-Ling, Ping-Ping, Yang-Yang, what's wrong if I say Ririn."

"Wrong!" Sahut Rindang and Khalisa together make Geza ciut.

"Humma, let's go back." Leaf pulled Huma's hand.

Finally Huma also obeyed Rindang, he also had to immediately return to the boarding place because his college assignments had piled up.

"Thank you Gez." Huma did not forget to thank Geza who had given him the Harry Potter figures to add to his collection.

"Yes, I've been coming back too, ogah to be a mosquito repellent here." Geza is moving.

Azfan and Khalisa drove them to the front of the house.

"Thank you guys for helping Mas Azfan and I move house." Khalisa.

Rindang took off Huma's hand to hug Khalisa, used to live next to him making it heavy to leave Khalisa. Rindang had tried to hold him back since then but he could not hide his sadness of separating from Khalisa.

"If you need something call me yes, I have 24 hours for you." Rindang Gumam.

"Yes." Yeah." Khalisa patted Rindang on the back. "Although we will rarely meet but I always pray for you that God will protect you and strengthen your heart to always love Him."

Rindang tightened his embrace, they indeed still live in the same environment but the busyness of each will definitely make the two meet less and less often. Life will not always go the way we want it to. There are times when they must succumb to the most important situation prayer is always offered for the good of each. They realize that as they grow older, friendship is not only about meeting but also about sacrifice.

Khalisa waved at Rindang and Huma who got into the car while Geza was on foot because his boarding place was quite close from the rented house of Khalisa and Azfan.

"I'm sorry." Lirih Azfan, he felt guilty for making Khalisa have to live far away with Rindang.

Khalisa shook his head, this is not a mistake, Azfan is entitled to Khalisa more than anyone.

"Let's go in." Azfan closed the door and Khalisa came in.

"Mas." Call Khalisa.

"Yes?" Azfan turned his head for a moment, he was tidying up the used glass of tea and taking it to the kitchen while Khalisa followed behind.

"Let's go see a doctor."

Azfan turned around after putting a dirty glass in the sink.

"So we know why I didn't get pregnant until now."

Azfan nodded, if it was Khalisa's wish then he would obey.

"Haura check first if our money is enough to see a doctor because the cost is not cheap." Azfan rubbed Khalisa's arm, he spoke carefully.

"I want permission to use my money if we don't have enough, all this time I have never used my own money so this time I beg Mas Azfan to let me use that money." Khalisa has a considerable balance in his personal account but since marriage he has hardly used the money at Azfan's request. Khalisa tried to be a devout wife while appreciating Azfan.

The look on Azfan's face implied disappointment, he was disappointed in himself for not being able to meet their needs. Azfan's income has been sufficient for his own tuition fees and living needs that have been saved by Khalisa.

"Well, I'm sorry, baby." Azfan embraced Khalisa, he did not want to make Khalisa disappointed but what can be done, he has not been able to have more income.
