Mahabbah Love Khalisa

83

One by one the students came out of the room after the class ended. They go to the cafeteria to fill their bellies, play ball on the field or just sit chatting under a tree. The beautiful view of the campus makes them feel at home there.

Kafa was still wearing a white practicum suit when he came out of the laboratory. He went down the corridor to the cafeteria following his friends who first came out earlier.

Kafa's steps came to a halt when he accidentally saw Khalisa and Azfan sitting under a trembesi tree.

"They brought supplies?" Kafa frowned seeing Khalisa feeding Azfan the rice from the lunchbox that was on his lap. "Did they really not have the money to buy food outside?" Kafa folded his arms in front of his chest, seeing his cousin like that made him pity but Khalisa looked happy. Even Kafa could hear their laughter from this distance. "They're happy with that box of rice?"

"Who is the same?"

Aghast at the sound of someone beside him, he saw a girl who seemed familiar but where they had met.

"Who are you?" Kafa asked because it seemed like the girl knew him.

"Me?" The girl pointed at herself. "Mahira, we've met at Jinggo's hotel."

"Oh yeah?" Kafa doesn't remember if they ever met, come on he's not Khalisa who can remember everyone's name.

"When we were breathing in front of the ballroom, I was wearing a kebaya."

"Is that important?" Kafa raised his eyebrows next door, after all he did not want to know the girl wearing the FIAI suit.

"Now, no." The girl named Mahira instantly turned cold, she passed from there leaving Kafa.

"Gee!" Kafa half-cried stopping Mahira's steps.

"What?" Mahira turned.

"That's your shoelace coming off." Kafa does not want to see Mahira fall in front of him, if that happens then he has to help him, Kafa does not want to do it.

"Is that important?" Mahira stepped back with the shoelaces removed.

"Basic freak." Kafa chooses another path to the cafeteria for fear that Mahira thinks he is following the girl.

Khalisa turned towards the corridor as he heard Kafa's voice. But looking at the source of the voice he found nothing there. Had Khalisa misheard so much of his miss with Kafa. Khalisa did not expect that they would fight for months. Even when Khalisa sent the message, Kafa just read without replying. Did Kafa dislike Azfan so much that it had to be like this. After all Khalisa has proven that he is very happy about his choice to live with Azfan.

"Why Haura?" Azfan plucked a grain of rice at the corner of Khalisa's lips and ate it. He followed Khalisa's point of view but there was no one there.

"I'm like Kafa's voice, is it just my feeling?"

"Nobody's there but this is the medical children's lab." It's possible that Khalisa heard Kafa's voice but he was gone before Khalisa found him. Because all this time Kafa has always avoided meeting Khalisa. "Haura misses Kafa?"

Khalisa smiled and nodded faintly, he did miss Kafa.

"Propay ya." Azfan held Khalisa's left hand. "We pray that Kafa will forgive us soon."

"I'm also not good with Ai, every phone call she always apologizes because I and Kafa have not been at peace when this is not her fault at all." Khalisa looked down at the rice and the last piece of shrimp, Azfan always ate voraciously and finished Khalisa cuisine. It makes Khalisa always eager to try to make other dishes. "Udah ah don't discuss it again, let's finish the meal stay a little." Khalisa continued to feed Azfan, he brought rice, fried bihun and prawns sauces pasture from home because usually after going home from college Azfan went straight to the store without eating first so Khalisa took the initiative to bring his cuisine to campus.

When the class finishes, Khalisa and Azfan meet at the campus park or by the lake for lunch together. Although not a fancy food especially expensive but they are happy. Simple things like that make their relationship stay harmonious as when they first got married.

"I wash my hands first." Khalisa went to wash his hands in a nearby faucet.

"Have you?" Azfan saw Khalisa back, he pulled Khalisa's wet hand to wipe him. "This hand is magical, right?"

"Why?" Khalisa did not understand the meaning of Azfan.

"If bribed with these hands the food becomes better."

Khalisa blushed to hear Azfan's praise, he lowered his head to hide his cheeks that began to blush.

"Oh yes Mas, the day after Ma'am Ayin did not meet Kak Fawas as well." Ayin was the wife of Fawas, they were married three months after the marriage of Khalisa and Azfan. Ayin is from Surabaya and settled in Yogyakarta after marriage. Since first meeting at the wedding, Khalisa and Ayin immediately familiar and became good friends until now.

Khalisa is easy to be friends with anyone. In fact, he can also be familiar with Naira since meeting again at the lecture event at that time. They often exchanged messages and talked about many things. Khalisa can embrace anyone to be his friend.

"Where?"

"Mas may be the place, we haven't specified it."

"Al-Bayan Museum." Azfan suddenly remembered the museum, they could meet there as well as explore the museum full of the Qur'an. Hangout while learning.

"May, I'll tell Ms. Ayin."

Azfan nodded, he stuffed their used food box into a green cloth bag.

"Haura, is Geza handsome?" The sentence Khalisa yesterday still can not forget Azfan even he had trouble sleeping last night thinking about it.

"Why do you suddenly ask that?" Khalisa was confused to get the strange question.

Khalisa thought, he doesn't even remember yesterday saying that.

Azfan was about to repeat Khalisa's sentence yesterday but a student wearing a suit majoring in pharmacy first approached them so that Azfan undo his intention. The man called Khalisa with a sheet.

"This is a list of design forms of medicine that we discussed yesterday, if there is less please you tell me, I have made grub chat with other children you can check." The man put the sheet he was carrying on the table. He is Beni one of Khalisa's students.

"Okay, thanks Ben." Khalisa nodded and smiled faintly which did not escape Azfan's attention.

"I'll go first."

"Yes." Yeah." Khalisa nodded back.

"What's that?" Azfan asked after Beni left from there.

"I have a practicum of drug form design and these are the pictures that I and the kids have designed." Khalisa showed the sheet to Azfan.

"I thought Haura was just designing clothes but it turned out that it could make medicine designs as well."

"Although both designs but the two are clearly different."

"Then why is Haura smiling?" Azfan looked at Khalisa inside.

"Hm?" Khalisa's eyebrows raised, why today Azfan is so strange. Doesn't he like to smile?

"I just had to see Haura smile at Ben-Ben." Azfan's face is grim, it feels like he wants to cover Khalisa's face with whatever is nearby at this time so that no one can see his wife's smile.

"He's Beni and why Mas kesel I just smile nothing."

"Some day, smile at Haura who is a girl."

"Oh if you go to the guy I'm pouting, like this?" Khalisa put on an angry expression that actually looks funny to Azfan.

Azfan shaking.

"How come?"

"Look this." Azfan put on a flat face making Khalisa laugh at him.

"It's funny my husband." Khalisa pinched Azfan's cheek, if not in the campus area he would have bitten the man's cheek. "I'm sorry I told you Geza is handsome, I'm sorry, next time it's not so anymore." Khalisa grasped Azfan's hand, he remembered yesterday saying a sentence that made Azfan jealous even though he did not intend to.

Azfan nodded, of course he could not be upset for too long at the adorable Khalisa.

"I'm gonna sleep a little while." Azfan placed his head on Khalisa's lap and closed his eyes. Sleeping with grass under a shady tree will make Azfan easily sleep.

Khalisa looked at Azfan rubbing his hair, suddenly tears welled up in his eyes looking at her tired face. Azfan never had time to take a nap because he had to go straight to the store after college. Working in college is not easy. Plus Khalisa who can not help Azfan complete college assignments because their majors are different.

"Assalamualaikum, sorry Brother." A student approached them, he was the younger brother of Khalisa and Azfan in the organization HAWASI. "I'm Zahra."

Khalisa nodded and placed his index finger over his lips as a signal that his younger brother named Zahra was to slow down his voice for fear of waking Azfan.

"What's Zahra doing?" Ask Khalisa in a soft voice.

"I want to ask Mr. Azfan about tahfidz guidance next week is there a limit to the number of participants?"

"Sir Azfan just slept, indeed Kak Luthfi did not tell you because he made the guidance program."

Zahra glanced at Azfan who looked soundly, "sorry Brother, if Kak Luthfi tell you for sure I will not come here for nanya." He had walked far almost to all corners of the campus just to meet Azfan, what a hard thing to wake Azfan, he thought. "Please dong Kak, wake up Kak Azfan for a moment."

Khalisa reached into the pocket of his suit to contact Lutfhi as the chairman of HAWASI. Although Azfan was appointed to guide rote but still Luthfi who determined all the rules. Khalisa also could not have awakened Azfan.

"Let me help ask Kak Luthfi later I will tell you, your name is Zahra right, I save your contact anyway."

"I'm in vain here." Lirih Zahra's.

"No effort is wasted." Sahut Khalisa made Zahra shut her mouth, probably thinking Khalisa would not hear her grunts. "I'm sorry, I can't get up on Azfan but you've got the answer to your question."

"Yes, thank you, brother, sorry to interrupt the time." Zahra smiled faintly nodding her head and said a salute retreating from there.

Khalisa answered Zahra's greetings kindly so as not to offend his younger brother. Khalisa had no choice because Azfan had just gone to bed. Moreover, seeing the face of Azfan who looked exhausted made Khalisa powerless to wake him up.

Khalisa is happy if Azfan is more widely known since winning the MTQ race. In addition to being invited to complete studies, Azfan also often guided the Qur'an tahfidz with other ustadz. But sometimes Khalisa also pity because of the many activities that Azfan has to lack rest. Khalisa could only pray that everything Azfan did was a blessing to them and to many people.
