Rasidha Bidadari Clear-eyed

Chapter 3 - The warmth of the family

Rasidha followed Ayna's steps, he still felt alien in a place that had not been there for a long time. His busy life in Cairo and living with Hana, the adoption of the Saints made him focus in education. 

He just smiled and nodded his head, when he heard Ayna's words that did not stop during their journey. The teenage girl who was so excited about the gus and also the handsome ustadz of teaching money, on the other hand she shook her head.

"I'm sure you'll like it and be comfortable living here." Racau Ayna who smiled excitedly.

"Ayna, you shouldn't have said that. Look at your age now! How did bi Aisyah and uncle Doni come to know this?" he thought that scared the cousin sister.

"I only reveal the truth" elak Ayna, who was afraid to hear the name of her father mentioned.

"Oh, forget it. I won't say anything to them. Oh yes, how is the condition of Ainun's grandmother and Baharuddin's grandfather? I haven't seen them in a long time." 

"Alhamdulillah, grandparents are also healthy without lacking anything." Sahut Ayna is excited. "They always ask the circumstances of Brother, when Rasidha visited us.when Rasidha visited us. That's the only word they always ask me. Really, I'm so happy to see Big Brother and a little surprised."

While Rasidha continues to be a good listener, he misses Ayna who is so fond of babbling nonstop like a parrot.

The journey down the place was not felt when Ayna told a lot about the pesantren run by her father. Because his grandfather was no longer able to take care of himself considering the age that is not young anymore.

"Assalamualaikum," said Ayna and Rasidha compactly, smiling their typical smile when in the doorway.

A couple smiled at them, and hurriedly welcomed the arrival of the guests. "Rasidha, why don't you tell Grandma?" Ainun hugged the body of the girl he had missed so much over the past few years. Very fond of Palestinian girls who lost both parents. Everyone already knew the facts and truth, moreover Zaid also told them.

Rasidha welcomed the embrace warmly. "I miss Grandma too."

"But you never called us." Ainun pretended to be sulking, he wanted to see how the answer of the beautiful girl before him was.

"I rarely hold a cell phone, Grandma."

"Yes, Grandma knows that. Surely you are busy studying and getting the cumlaude predicate." Praise Ainun who smiled proudly, while Rasidha only smiled. 

After the embrace was over, Kyai Baharuddin invited Rasidha to sit down and wait for the arrival of Doni and Aisyah who were still teaching in the classroom. "We were very surprised by your arrival, did your parents know? Why didn't they tell us first?" 

"Sorry, I came without telling you first. My intention and purpose here is to settle down and also study for a few months" Rasidha broke up with great confidence.

"We do not dispute it, demanding knowledge of a very necessary thing. Rasidha wants to stay with grandparents or in the dorm together with Ayna?" kyai Baharuddin said with a smile.

"In the dormitory, Kek, Rasidha wants to feel santriwati here." He answered with a soft voice.

"Yes, if the decision is so. Rasidha can live anywhere, because this place is also your home." Sela Ainun gently stroked the head of the beautiful girl next to her.

"So I sleep in my room, how about it?" chirp Ayna who raised her hand.

"That's a good idea, from now on Rasidha can watch over and also guide Ayna to be good again." Sahut Ainun, while the name mentioned was a little pouting.

"Rest first, Cu. Tomorrow morning Grandpa will organize the class according to the class."

"Yes, Cake."

Rasidha went into the room, before going to the dormitory he would stay overnight at the house of Kyai Baharuddin. Immediately remove the phone and contact someone to say if he has arrived. 

"Wa'alaikumsalam, dear."

"I've arrived and now I'm at Ayna's grandparents' house."

"Thank God, take care of yourself and your health. I told your uncles and aunts there, don't bother them."

"Yes, Mom. Rasidha hang up the phone."

"Yes, honey." 

Rasidha laid his body on a mattress that was not too big, grateful for what he gave. Still remembered the words of his parents, and deeply sorry. "Why should I know the truth in such a way? I shouldn't have come over there and heard Mom's father's conversation." 

In the evening, Rasidha prayed maghrib and prayed for the safety of the biological parents and adoptive parents who had raised him. Do not forget to recite and chant the holy verse of the Quran so melodious, a sound that makes anyone amazed. 

"God, his voice is beautiful. This is what I miss most about Rasidha in murottal." Murmured Aisyah, she intended to invite dinner, but was stunned when she heard the recitation of the holy verse of the Qur'an so melodious was the beginning.

"shadaqallahul adzim." Rasidha closed the Qur'an and kissed it, placing it on high. Just now he wanted to open his face, but caught the figure in front of the door smiling towards him. "Any aunt Aisyah," said he, who immediately let out a hug, she longed for the place and also the friendly people, very lucky to have a family like them.

"Sorry, Aunt can only see you now" said Aisyah who returned a hug from her niece and let go after a few seconds. 

"I know Auntie's busy, is Uncle back?" 

"Uncle will be late, after taking care of your uncle's boarding school also takes care of the company's business."

"No problem, Bi."

"It's dinner time, Auntie's been cooking to welcome you. Oh yeah, how's your mom's dad and Azzam?" 

"Thank God they're all healthy."

At the dinner table, Rasidha saw some dishes that had been presented on the plate. Although the food is fairly simple, but he really misses the cuisine that comes from the house, back to remembering as a child who was served with the same food, the same food, so foreign and after trying he became addicted. 

"Sit down, brother, don't look at it. The food was to be eaten," joked Ayna making everyone laugh, the teenage girl who became a cheer in the family.

"Of course, Aunt Aisyah cooked it for me." Rasidha replied to the guyonan.

Just finished reading the meal prayer, there was a voice not far from them. Rasidha turned his head and saw Who came, who turned out to be Doni, Ayna's father. 

"Am I late?" 

"No Abi" said Ayna, who kissed her father's hand. 

Truly, the happy little family could be felt by Rasidha, he was very grateful if he became part of that family.

"May father and mother not know my intention here" said Rasidha.
