Not Just a Taste

Chapter 47

...~Happy Reading~...

"What's wrong?" Joseph invited his younger brother to sit under the angsana tree, a common place where he often saw a girl spending time memorizing prayers and short letters there.

"So, Umma told Maira. Is it true that the day after we go to Jakarta? Are you sure?" maira asked so fixedly looking at the sister's face.

"God willing," answered Joseph nodding his head slowly.

For a moment, Maira fell silent. Trying to find a gap of seriousness in Joseph's face. Ensuring that what is convinced by his only puppet sister is true is certain so that there is no disappointment behind.

"Isn't this what you want, hem?"

"Maira really wants this. But, uh,... "

Joseph smiled again when he saw the face of his sister who was now even full of anxiety.

"Son't you have to do this?" ask Maira again.

"God willing, brother sincere."

Unknowingly, the girl's eyes glazed over as she looked at her brother's face.she immediately hugged the man she cared about after the father so tightly.

"Hopefully you can keep this trust. And hopefully later, you can have some happiness with Eleena."

"Amina"

Meanwhile, in a different place. Precisely in a house building that is quite large but seems so quiet, like the heart of the owner.

Two girls, who had just turned off their car engines, immediately got out and ran to enter the house.

"Assalamu'alaikum! Jerry's! Out!"

"Waalaikumsalam, non Eleena, non Sarah" replied a middle-aged woman who had already worked at the house.

"Bi, where's Jerry?" ask Eleena to the point.

"Den Jerry's on top. Again learn Non,"

"Learn what Bi? Where's she abis from? To the chuff?" eleena asked consecutively making the woman smile knot.

"Learn naji Non,"

"Whatt!" the second scream at the same time. And without a second thought, the two girls immediately ran to the place where Aunt had told them.

And sure enough, Eleena and Sarah can see that the man is now learning a foreign man who as a teacher najai Jerry.

Eleena fell silent, she recalled the moment she was in the cottage. Where he had to learn to memorize letters and prayers were also short letters.

And where he had to argue in each of his studies with Joseph and Maira.

Missing, if you may say Eleena did miss that time. Although he was not long in the cottage. It was only less than two months, yet he felt that he already had so many memories there.

Memories that always make his heart erratic. From the chaotic to the calm also shook.

"Like Jerry really serious," Sarah muttered so slowly but still able to be heard in Eleena's ears.

"Hemm, Alhamdulillah. At least he really meant it," Eleena replied quietly as she continued to look at Jerry who was still learning to teach.

After a while, Eleena and Sarah waited. Now Jerry was finally finished and immediately approached his two friends who he had seen since.

Actually, Jerry had been wanting to get to Eleena. However, because of his hesitation with his teacher, he finally undoes that intention. While learning, that he must have kept his distance from the girl.

"What are you guys doing coming here?" jerry asked when he was in front of Eleena.

"Why did you convert to Islam?" eleena asked back.

Instead of answering, Jerry smiled in response to a question from Eleena.

"Aren't I better looking than this?" jerry asked while confirming the peci in his head.

"Jer!"

"Where is your veil El? You are more beautiful if you wear covered clothes. And if you ask, why did I convert to Islam? I just wanted to give myself a spell before I met the woman who was fateful for me." Jerry replied at length, instantly making Eleena speechless.
