Mahabbah Love Khalisa

86

The clattering of footsteps echoed when Khalisa's pantofel shoes collided with a quiet corridor ceramic floor. His gaze swept all over the classroom looking for Kafa's whereabouts but the room was already quiet, there were no students in it. Khalisa intends to contact Kafa by phone but for free, Kafa will not answer.

Khalisa had talked to Sandi by phone this morning, he apologized for not giving the design to her. Sandi says it doesn't matter because but whenever Khalisa needs he's ready to help.

Speak slowly if Haura wants to meet Kafa, control your emotions.

Khalisa kept remembering Azfan's words when he said he wanted to meet Kafa after the last class. Khalisa hopes he can control his emotions like Azfan whenever he gets angry. Since marriage Khalisa never heard Azfan yelling at him even last night Azfan kept his voice down. It makes Khalisa feel more guilty, he should be grateful for having a husband like Azfan.

"FK's sister huh?" Khalisa asked the medical student who passed him.

"Yes, why brother?"

"Look Kafa no, he's a FK student and his eyes are narrow, his height is like mine." Khalisa mentioned the characteristics of Kafa because there are hundreds of FK students from the Kafa class so it is impossible for them all to know each other.

"Oh Kafa, I just saw him in the car park." He pointed towards the car park.

"Oh, thank you." Khalisa stepped quickly towards the car park.

The car park that was far behind the class was crowded by students who were about to go home. They can't wait to come out first to make the atmosphere become boisterous.

Khalisa finds Kafa standing next to his car and appears to be talking to a female student wearing an FIAI suit exactly like Azfan's.

"Numpang dong to the front of doang."

"Well, we know nothing."

Khalisa moved closer, he knew the student who was talking to Kafa. He is a member of HAWASI Mahira from the department of Ahwal Al-Shakhshiyah.

"This car is a pity if raised by one person, after all we have met twice do not pretend not to know, you want my name right."

"Me doesn't mean to know." Kafa was about to leave the student but his hand was held back. "Astaghfirullah don't hold on!" Pekik Kafa's.

Mahira smiled ignorantly because it managed to make Kafa angry even his face was now flushed red. Mahira wondered what kind of smile Kafa had because all this time he had never seen the guy smile.

"It can't be the same thing that isn't mahram." Kafa added because Mahira did not give up on his car.

"Yes when I want to nebeng to the front doang must be your mahram, ribet dong must go to KUA first, not to mention take care of the letters."

Kafa mendelik, why Mahira so thought that far when he just wanted to find an excuse so that the girl did not come with him. Kafa does not want to be alone in the car with the girl or any girl who is not his mahram. "Eh crazy what the hell, digress!"

"Well, if you don't want to be together, I'm my other two friends."

"No-no!" Kafa balked, it was a bad idea.

"What are you doing?" Eventually Khalisa approached the two as their debate grew heated. Khalisa did not know what was going on between Kafa and Mahira.

"Ci."

"Mbak Khalisa."

Kafa and Mahira said as they watched Khalisa approach them.

"Mbak Khalisa knows Kafa?" Ask Mahira.

"Yes, he's my brother."

"Baby sister?" Mahira looked at Khalisa and Kafa alternately, from his gaze he could not believe that Kafa was Khalisa's younger brother.

"Cousin' sister."

"Oh panties." Mahira turned the eyeballs, "it's unlikely that Khalisa's kind and friendly mother had a younger brother like him." He glanced sharply at Kafa.

"What am I?" Kafa looked at Mahira sharply.

"You're arrogant obviously, what's more?" Mahira sneered at the folded arms in front of the chest as they had already met several times but Kafa still insisted that they did not know each other.

"What's? you say I'm arrogant, don't have the same manners you don't know."

"No more fighting." Khalisa tried to mediate.

"Cece what's necessary?" Kafa sees Khalisa who seems to have come to see him on purpose. Kafa feels lucky with Khalisa's arrival because he can get Mahira out of here immediately. He doesn't want to argue with the girl anymore.

"I want to talk to you."

Kafa glances at Mahira to leave immediately, whether the girl is so insensitive that she does not want to leave even though Kafa has told her that he does not want to give Mahira a ride.

"Mahira's in my car, but I want to talk to Kafa first." Khalisa.

"Can I take my friend?" Mahira seemed excited because she finally got a ride, imagining having to walk from here to the front gate made her lazy.

"Can." Khalisa.

"I called them first." Mahira left the parking lot.

"Cece, what are you talking about?" Kafa asked after making sure Mahira was really gone.

Khalisa stepped on the wall of the parking lot followed by Kafa. Khalisa was putting together the sentence he was going to say to Kafa. He just wanted to make sure if Kafa gave the money or not.

"You met Bang Sandi yesterday?" Khalisa to the point because Kafa usually avoids not wanting to meet him. But because now Kafa seems to have no objection then more Khalisa talk directly to the point

"Yes, Bang Sandi has already transferred the money, right?"

Khalisa raised his eyebrows next door.

"So you know about that too?" Khalisa knew that Kafa could never lie, especially to him.

"Hm?"

"I'm just talking about your meeting with Bang Sandi not about money."

"Ah, m... I mean—" Kafa gagapan.

"You calm down, I've returned the money."

"Why is Cece turning his money back?" Kafa is surprised, he has been hard-earned to seduce Sandi but Khalisa actually returned the money.

"Why are you so surprised, what is your money?"

Kafa shook his head to cover his mouth with one hand because he almost got caught by Khalisa.

"When you said choose you or Azfan, I chose Azfan from that moment on I assumed you had broken up with me so please don't interfere anymore with my business." Khalisa did not want to say this but he had to act decisively to Kafa. According to Khalisa, this is not a form of concern but Kafa's attitude actually provokes a fight between Azfan and self. Khalisa does not want last night to happen again.

Khalisa was careless at Kafa's remarks, why Kafa always thought that his happiness was only about money when more than that Khalisa was very happy living life with Azfan. But Kafa was still stuck in his own mind.

"Thank you Kafa you helped me but I can't possibly accept that help whereas there is no clarity in your heart, you help on the basis of pride in yourself." Khalisa looked straight at Kafa, "Kafa, use your money for useful things, as long as you know I'm not doing it because I don't have money, my account balance is even twice as much as yours."

Apparently Jaya's grandson was given a sharp tongue, not only Kafa, Khalisa can also make Kafa speechless with his sentence. Khalisa just wants Kafa to realize that he can't just be bullied.

Last night when Khalisa told Azfan about the design, it seemed that Azfan was not too surprised as if he had found out. It is impossible for Azfan to know that from Sandi because they have never met, surely Kafa went to Azfan to say everything. Although Azfan did not say it but Khalisa can guess.

"I just don't want to use Mama and Papa's money so you don't think about helping me anymore, all this time I've tried to give in and apologize dozens of times but your hard heart is impenetrable the same sorry word, I can accept that you insult me but I will not stay silent when you make Mas Azfan offended." Honestly Khalisa missed Kafa because they were used to being together since childhood. But now that Khalisa had his own life, he did not want Azfan to continue to be hurt because of Kafa's attitude.

"I always hope we make peace and you will accept Mas Azfan because there is no point in us like this, but it is up to you."

Kafa was stunned to hear Khalisa's series of words that felt pierced into his heart. Even as Khalisa left, he fell silent in his place, motionless. Kafa doesn't believe Khalisa can tell him that.

"Which Mommy's car?" Mahira approached Khalisa with two other friends.

"That." Khalisa pointed at his car, he rubbed his wet eyes and replaced them with a smile. Khalisa had been trying to contain the emotional turmoil in his heart, he also had to swallow his tears again after saying all that to Kafa. Khalisa knew it was very painful but he had to do it so that Kafa would not be arbitrary anymore.

"They want to come with us." Tukas Khalisa on Azfan who swiftly opened the door as soon as he came.

Azfan nodded, he closed the door again and walked around the car and sat in the steering wheel. Actually Azfan wanted to ask if everything was fine between Khalisa and Kafa but he had to hold it up to the house because there were three younger siblings of their level behind.

"Until the front, ma'am, Mas." Mahira said when Azfan started running the car.

"Where do you live?" Khalisa looked back and circulated his gaze at the three younger brothers.

"I live here anyway, we're sniffing at the same place." Answer Mahira.

"If so, then we will bring you to the boarding place."

"No need Ma'am, I'm the same as a regular walk."

"Nothing from the campus." Azfan chimed in, "you show me the way."

"We're staying at Bu Lastri's boarding house, Mas."

"Ayu's mom, huh?" Ask Khalisa in a soft voice to Azfan.

"Yes." Yeah." Azfan nodded. "I know the place."

Khalisa and Azfan take Mahira and her friends to the boarding house owned by Ayu's mother. Since getting out of the boarding house, Azfan never again met Bu Lastri who used to be so good to him. While Ayu always avoids when accidentally cross paths with Azfan. Especially after knowing Azfan had married, Ayu never again approached Azfan even though the main reason for studying at UII was to meet for Azfan.

Azfan drops groceries from the trunk of the car when he gets home. They brought a car to campus because they had to shop monthly at Alindra Mall. Khalisa rarely shop there but because his Alindra Beauty products have run out so he has to take it there. Khalisa will also send some of them to Bantul because Marwah likes Alindra Beauty products.

"Haura come in, let me move in." Azfan said when Khalisa want to lift a shopping bag containing oil, sugar and kitchen spices.

"It's okay, it's not heavy." Khalisa took down the shopping bag. "What is this, Mom?" Khalisa picked up the purple-colored package tucked under the bag.

Azfan turned his head, "oh it's been there for a long time, bidding for the front minimarket cashier."

Khalisa bagged the wine-flavored candy-like package and stuffed the grocery bag into the house while Azfan picked up the rice and another bag of fruit.

"What yes?" Khalisa sat on the sofa flipping through the package.

"Candy is possible." Azfan carried the last shopping bag containing all Alindra Beauty products ranging from shampoo, soap to something that Khalisa used on his face. Sometimes Khalisa also put it on Azfan's face.

"But the rubber-kayak dalemnya."

"Rubber candy." Azfan sat next to Khalisa after moving all their groceries.

Khalisa laughed, but the gum and the gum are very different even though the name is similar.

"Open up, baby."

"If candy is for me."

"Haura won't share?"

"But this is just a pack of love."

"Yes already." Azfan pretended to put on a sad look because Khalisa did not want to share gum with him.

Khalisa opened the plastic wrap impatiently until the contents jumped out. Khalisa lowered his head to grab the thing under the table.

"Astaghfiullah!" Khalisa was looking at what he was holding, it was the man's safety silicone. Khalisa had seen the picture on the internet when studying biology High School first.

"Why?" Azfan was confused to see Khalisa's reaction after knowing the contents of the package.

"The cashier said what time did this nawarin go to Mas Azfan?"

"Say—" Azfan remembered the cashier's remark at the time, "not herein Mas, again discount." He imitated the cashier's style of speech.

"Keep answering what?"

"Well, that's it, I did."

Khalisa laughed again until he fell on Azfan's lap, even he let out tears because Azfan was so innocent.

Azfan still does not understand why Khalisa laughed, what is funny.

"It's a tool that men use when they're making love." Khalisa obviously after stopping his laughter. "Sort of contraceptive."

"Oh yeah? why did I never wear it?"

"Em not everyone wears it, do you want to try it?"

Azfan shook his head, "waste me." He took it out of Khalisa's hands and threw it in the trash. It seems like next time Azfan has to be more selective before deciding to buy something.

"Haura didn't fight, did she?" Azfan changed his position to face Khalisa.

"I took care of everything, Mas met Kafa last night, met where?"

"Kafa came to the store."

"After this I'm sure he won't bother Mas Azfan again." Khalisa pulls Azfan's hand to kiss him.

Azfan nodded slowly though deep in his heart he wished their Kafa relationship back to what it used to be.
