Mother To Aina

BUA 10

"Father, Akel Alvan. Aty said Zia tepet matuk." cried Aina from the door.

Alvin and Arvan turned.

"Aty pretty." said Aina while running when she saw there was aunty beauty there and immediately hugged Haifa's leg.

Alvin was shocked for the second time.

"Aty tantik come on matuk." take Aina with a friendly smile and hold Haifa's hand.

"Oh yes please come in" said Arvan.

"I.. This fix the house, Zia? Dr. Arvan?" haifa asked either of whom the question was addressed to.

"Yes right. Please go ahead." said Arvan again.

"Eh. Thank you." Haifa replied.

"Come on." take Aina. With Haifa's hand.

Haifa simply nodded then followed Aina.

"Pelmiti papa" said Aina when she felt her path was a little blocked by Alvin.

Alvin shifted his body a little. But his eyes were still focused on the two as if there were 1001 questions that Alvin wanted to say.

"Alvin's eyes." reproves Arvan.

"Well, what bang?"

"Hah Hah Hah. The eyes keep it really ngeliatinnya. Saucy huh?"

"Abang knows? The big brother?" ask Alvin.

"Your brother is the one who shakes. He said the other day his shirt got Aina's ice cream. You familiar?"

"She's an Alvin student."

"Really?"

Alvin nodded.

"Well, it could be Vin. Aina is also very cute."

"Can what? Could snakes?" answer Alvin origin.

"It's up to you Vin." replied Arvan then immediately entered the house leaving Alvin.

During the study, Aina seemed to be a henchman and calmly sat in front of Haifa.

The interaction between Haifa and Aina came to the mother's attention.

When preparing for the Maghrib prayer, they had a chance to talk.

Until finally we get to the question.

"I'm sorry if you can tell Haifa is married or still alone?" ask mother.

"Haifa is still a student" Haifa replied.

"Where's college?" ask mom again.

"In UIN ma'am."

"Gee. Mother's son too, Alvin's father Aina. He was a teacher there too. Haifa know what?"

"Oh. I.. I.. Yes ma'am. Haifa knows. Haifa also happens to be Alvin's student" Haifa replied. I don't know about the lecturer on that one it feels like there is a particular frustration for Haifa. Keep waiting, he said Mr. Alvin Aina's father. Means Mr. Alvin is married or maybe a widower. What if Ina knows?

At 20:00 the new event is over. Haifa was about to go home but it turned out to be outside in heavy rain.

Haifa's online taxi order does not get a driver. Maybe because of heavy rain and the track is quite far away.

"Where did you get the taxi?" asked Alvin who arrived to appear from inside the house.

"Astagfirullah. Not yet sir." Haifa replied without seeing Alvin.

"Usually when it rains like this the driver is rarely picked up.  Especially if the track is far away. Moreover, it's night." said Alvin.

Haifa looked at the watch in her hand and it was already 20:15. Haifa could only take a breath and exhale slowly hoping that one of the online taxis would take her order.

'Let's dong driver please.' Haifa said in her heart.

Haifa's movements are currently Alvin's concern. Alvin knew Haifa was not calm and wanted to go home soon. Moreover, it is already night and the destination location is still quite far away. Weekend like this can be expected to travel to the location of Haifa destination can take approximately one hour.

"Eh Haifa hasn't come home yet?" asked Zia who happened to be out of the house.

"Eh yes brother. This is another taxi ride online."

"Oh yaudah if so in his waiting yuk." invite Zia.

"Do not thank you. It's an online taxi that's close." Haifa lied.

Zia nodded.

"Then."

"Sister Alvin, take Aina for a second. Did you put it to bed?"

"Alvin wants there to be a little."

"OKAY. If that's Haifa, Alvin I say in first." said Zia.

"Yes Brother." answered those who were answered with meaningful smiles by Zia.

"Don't you come in, too?" haifa asked in the courage because Alvin had always been there.

"I think you are waiting for an online taxi until any time you will not be able to. The more night it will be more difficult plus the rain does not stop and your goal is far away."

Haifa was silent, Alvin was right but Haifa should also be how? It was his only option so he could go home. If you ride another public vehicle Haifa also has to walk forward at least looking for angkot. It also will not be sure to get.

"I happen to have business in the campus area. If you want you can be with me." Alvin bargained, please forgive Alvin for lying here.

Haifa looked towards Alvin.

"I'm just offering, it's a coincidence. Try to consider. Waiting here an hour ahead is not necessarily you get. Please as soon as I have not much time" said Alvin.

"Don't think about it like we're just the two of us. You can sit in the back. How is it different from you taking an online taxi you are also only two with the driver, right?" alvin said again to see Haifa who was still silent.

Haifa was still silent while weighing in doubt. I didn't realize Alvin wasn't there.

Tin... Tin...

The sound of the car horn makes Haifa have to make a decision as soon as possible.

"I don't have much time" Alvin said from the car.

Haifa reluctantly put her foot in the direction of Alvin's car and carried herself into the car and sat in the back seat.

Alvin was driving the car. Alvin occasionally sees Haifa through the glass in his car.

"I'm sorry." said Alvin.

"For my treatment that was arbitrary at that time." continued alvin when his statement was not responded to Haifa.

"That's the father's right." said Haifa.

Until arriving at the destination there is no more chat from them.

"Where are you next door?" ask Alvin when he gets around campus.

"Father just drop me off at the campus parking lot, sir."

"My need is to get you not to visit campus."

"But I said it..."

"That's just my excuse. If I hadn't lied about my reasons, would you have wanted me to drop off?"

Haifa just shut up.

"Why? I was wrong again?" ask Alvin.

Haifa was silent again.

"So where are you?"

"Haifa." rebuked Alvin for Haifa being silent.

"Eh yes? That's my boarding house not far away sir at most 100 meters from here. Let me just get down here." Haifa replied.

Before Haifa left Alvin, he moved his car forward.

"Here?" alvin asked after arriving in front of a boarding house."

"Yes" Haifa replied, thinking Alvin would know where the hostel was. Though the instructions given are only 100 meters from the campus. But it's important now that Haifa has to get down from here.

"Thank you so much sir" said Haifa as she got down from Alvin's car.

Alvin just nodded.

"Haifa wait." call Alvin after getting out of the car.

Haifa, whose position was about to open the gate, turned back to face Alvin.

"Can I talk to you for a second?"

"But here the princess there must be no men who enter."

"Anything from my words is there any indication that I want to enter?" ask Alvin.

"But I said..."

"I just want to talk 4 points with you. In the right way."

Haifa silent.

"Can?" ask Alvin again.
