The Angel Behind the Veil

Sunday Service in the Church

When he saw Arya coming down the stairs Cantika just looked down like he felt embarrassed for no reason.

Arya instead smiled sumringah.

As the three of them were having breakfast, Bi Susi opened the chat.

"Oh yes, son Cantika this morning, before Nak Cantika came down to the kitchen Aunt accidentally heard there was a melodious voice like a song that was so beautiful and melodious from inside Nak Cantika's room" Said Bi Susi which made Cantika nervous.

He has been praying in private all this time. He had also lowered his voice while reading the Qur'an, but why could Bi Susi hear it.

Arya was curious about Bi Susi's words but she waited for Cantika to answer them.

"That's mm, I woke up so early so I played music on Bi's handpone, maybe Auntie heard that music."

Reply Cantika a little nervously.

"But her voice was very strange, Bibi's intention was very unique and beautiful. The language is so foreign, Aunt herself doesn't know what language it is." Said Bi Susi again feeling curious about the voice.

He was sweating cold and getting nervous.

"Iya Bi, now many songs and modern music from various countries so the language also follows the country of origin of the music and the song."

Clearly Cantika painstakingly thought.

"Oh so, yes, this old Aunt no longer pays attention to the progress of music so it does not understand foreign and modern music."

Bi Susi believes in Cantika's words.

Arya is just a listener at the moment.

After finishing breakfast Arya and Bi Susi prepare to go to church.

"Where's Bi?" Ask Arya when she leaves. He didn't see Cantika at the moment.

"Wait for Auntie to see."

"Sorry Ar, Bi, I can't seem to come." The word Cantika suddenly came before Bi Susi called out to him.

"Why?" Tanya Bi Susi was confused.

Cantika just kept her head down while looking at the tip of her foot.

"What's up Can? are you not well?" Ask Arya.

"Emm, I'm embarrassed. I haven't been out in a long time, let alone to church. I'm afraid to disturb people who are focused on worship there." Said Cantika slowly.

Arya can guess maybe Cantika is not confident meeting the crowd. He was very sad about Cantika. He swore he would heal the wounds on Cantika's face.

Cantika was touched by Arya's words but she also felt very guilty for hiding everything from Arya until Arya thought she had a terrible wound on her face.

He wanted to tell Arya everything, but then he thought again if Arya would stay away from him if she knew Cantika was a Muslim? Cantika is afraid of losing her only best friend so she cancels her intention to tell Arya.

"Yes you go quietly, when you return lunch will be ready." Cantika said with a smile.

Although he could only see his expression from the eyes but it was enough for Arya to understand Cantika. It felt like he wanted to take Cantika to a great surgeon, or he himself could operate on Cantika's face. But before that he had to wait for Cantika by herself to be willing to show his face.

Lunch time is still long, if cooking now will be cold when served. So Cantika went up to her room and opened her laptop.

He continued his novel with the title "Help Islam."

Since his mother did not, he locked himself in his room and filled his day with writing.

He was busy writing until 1 day.

After writing he went downstairs and started to get busy preparing lunch.

After all, Bi Susi and Arya had also returned from the church.

Cantika directly serves food.

After eating Arya invites Cantika out for a walk.

"Can, this afternoon we go out, I want to buy something and I need you to help me choose." Arya said to Cantika as they were together climbing the stairs towards the top floor.

"Where?" Ask Cantika.

"Follow please!" Arya said pleading.

"Emm fine, but it shouldn't take long." Cantika said after thinking.

"okay!" Aryan Promise.

They both walk each other, Cantika first and Arya behind. Suddenly Cantika sprained and almost fell. Arya reflexes catching him.

Their views meet. Arya's heart was burning and Cantika blushed in embarrassment.

"I'm sorry, I'm not careful." Cantika said ashamed.

"Other times more careful what if I'm not here?" Arya said attentively.

"Yes." Yeah." Cantika's face was reddened and felt hot because the pose was very itim. It was fortunate that her face was covered in a veil so Arya did not see it.
