The more days Haifa and Aina got closer but unfortunately it has been almost a week now Haifa has not yet met Aina. The cause was none other than that Haifa was busy with her script. Every now and then Aina contacted through a video call and every video call Aina always whined to meet Haifa.
"Aina mit you" said Aina over there with her adorable face.
"Aunty also misses Aina. Later if aunty holiday we go yuk road. Aina want to?"
"Now. Tama papa too?"
"Don't dong we're both." said Haifa.
"Do you want to walk with me?" asked Alvin who only sounded his voice and without face.
"No. Papa aty tantik tama Aina is not tama papa." protest Aina.
"Yes aunty same Aina kok we walk alone together. Girl time okay."
"Okay aty. When?"
"No. Papa didn't give me permission." said Alvin.
"Papa is naughty" Aina said as she beat up Alvin who turned out to be beside Aina.
Haifa just shook her head to see the struggle of the son and father across there.
"Ouch ouch. I'm a pity." persuade Alvin to stop Aina from hitting him.
"Ainaa." call Haifa from across the street.
Aina refocused on the screen on Alvin's phone.
"Papa naughty aty."
"Yes aunty knows. Papa Aina is naughty. But it can't be the same with the Papa."
"But but papa said Aina can't meet him on the road before him" Aina said with a frown.
"Yes but Aina can ask for permission both equally papa."
"Yes aty" said Aina according to.
Alvin smiled as softly as Haifa told Aina and as obedient as Aina was to what Haifa said. Though they had no blood relation at all, Haifa had no obligation to advise Aina nor did Aina have any obligation to follow Haifa's advice. But reality says something else. They seem to be equally bound.
"Now I'm sorry dong is equally papa."
"No. Papa matih naughty."
"If Aina does not say sorry Papa later Aina is not allowed to play the same aunty how?"
"Wouldn't. Aina wants to play tama aty tantik."
"That means you want to say sorry to papa?"
Aina nodded then looked up at Alvin.
Alvin pura did not see and put on his flat face.
"Papa." call Aina while pulling Alvin's shirt sleeve.
"Hm." replied Alvin.
"Papa see this." call Aina.
"What." said Alvin while looking at Aina.
"Tolly papa Aina naughty tama papa."
"Hm."
"Father tol."
"OKAY. But, hug and kiss papa first."
Aina immediately hugged and kissed Alvin. Forgetting for a moment her aunty beauty across there.
Haifa did not see him but she smiled.
"Aty pretty." call Aina as she recalls their call.
"Yes." Yeah."
"When are you playing Aina again?"
"Hm. What Sunday is it?"
"You." replied Aina enthusiastically.
"OKAY. But Aina has to get permission, papa okay. Aina please, baby. Aunty has to study again. Assalamualaikum."
"yes aty. Alaikum talam."
After I finished calling Haifa. Aina is back with Alvin.
"So papa can't go with papa putli?"
"No Papa's. Aty Tantikna doesn't want to play tama papa. Papana tih tuka naughty tuka jail."
"Promise me you're not naughty, not jail either. But papa can come. Papa did you promise that time to buy Aina just as aunty ice cream lget not?"
Aina tried to remember.
"Oh yes. Papa promises to buyin and klim make aty tantik. Papa also promised to be in ortik bundana Aina" said Aina.
"Huh? What dear?"
"Papa promised to be in or tantik bundana Aina." replied Aina while pursing her lips.
"Aina try to help papa ask dong same aunty beautiful. Want to be Aina's mom?"
"Aina wants tana" said Aina.
"Yes, Aina asked Yes."
Aina nodded in spirit. While Alvin continues to think and pray to be given the best.
Before going to bed, Alvin sent a message to Haifa.
"Assynolajet. Sorry distracting. I just want to thank you, you have helped me teach Aina good things. Even though you have no obligation to do so. But you want to advise Aina and teach Aina. I say thank you." wrote Alvin and sent it to Haifa.
It was up to the time that Haifa and Aina had set to play together. At first they made a pact somewhere then Haifa asked Alvin to leave them both. But with all Alvin's efforts and Aina's help, Haifa had to be willing to go all three. Haifa actually does not like, how can she like him and Alvin it is not mahram but Haifa feels too often interact with Alvin. Good via chat, phone even one car.
Not much different from Haifa, Alvin also felt so. As a man he felt unable to appreciate a woman when he had to continue interacting without a halal bond. Alvin also as a man must be able to take decisions at any risk. Although the decision that Alvin takes will make Haifa stay away from him, especially from Aina or whatever the risk is Alvin must be ready. Rather than continue like this?
After a few hours of walking the road starts from the park, playground, bookstore, toy store and ends at the place to eat. Now they're on their way home.
Haifa sat in the back while holding onto Aina who was asleep. Alvin is loyal behind the wheel.
Whether intentionally or not this song was played in Alvin's car.
I found a love for me
Darling just dive right in
Follow my lead
Well I found a girl beautiful and sweetÂ
I never knew you were the someone waiting for me
'Cause we were just kids when we fell in love
Not knowing what it was
I will not give you up this time
Just kiss me slow, your heart is all I own
And in your eyes you're holding mine
Baby, I'm dancing in the dark with you between my arms
Barefoot on the grass, listening to our favorite song
When you said you looked a mess, I whispered beneath my breath
But you heard it, darling, you look perfect tonnage
Well I found a woman, strong than anyone I know
She shares my dreams, I hope that someday I'll share her home
I found a love, to carry more than just my secrets
To carry love, to carry children of our own
We are still kids, but we're so in love
Fighting against all odds
I know we'll be alright this time
Darling, just hold my hand
Be my girl, I'll be your man
I see my future in your eyes
Baby, I'm dancing in the dark, with you between my arms
Barefoot on the grass, listening to our favorite song
When I saw you in that dress, looking so beautiful
I don't desire this, darling, you look perfect tonnage
Baby, I'm dancing in the dark, with you between my arms
Barefoot on the grass, listening to our favorite song
I have faith in what I see
Now I know I have met an angel in person
She looks perfect
I don't desire this
You look perfect tonnage
"Good song." said Alvin.
"Hm." Haifa replied.
"Haifa." call Alvin.
Haifa did not answer.
"Maybe Aina has asked a lot. I don't know what understanding you gave Aina."
"But by continuing on like this I don't feel right."
"I mean father?"
Honestly, Haifa's mind has branched out to where.
"As a man I have to make a decision. Whatever the risk is."
"I don't understand" Haifa said.
"Listen to me first. I'm not done yet."
"Now I'm asking you. Will you if I come to your house you meet your parents. Then ask you to be a mother to Aina as well as my wife?"
Haifa is silent, she is petrified. I don't know what he should answer. Haifa had never thought that there would be such a part in her life.
Alvin saw Haifa's tension from the windshield. Haifa was surprised.
