The Angel Behind the Veil

Curious Taste Aryan

At the home of Arya and Cantika, he was greeted with a delicious dinner.

"Let's Cantika Nak, Arya boy, Auntie has prepared dinner for you" Bi Susi said as she served food at the dinner table.

Arya thought inwardly along with the bad taste "Thankfully Cantika refused when I invited her to dinner outside, otherwise Bi Susi would have been disappointed for having painstakingly prepared this meal." Inner Arya while staring at Cantika.

Cantika even thought of himself who had not prayed maghrib, but he was not happy to leave the dining room at this time. Moreover, Bi Susi was very sincere about preparing dinner tonight.

Cantika decided to sit down and eat. Then he brought food for Arya. He can call his prayers later.

After the dinner was over, Arya went to her room. While Cantika helped Bi Susi clean the dining table and kitchen.

After all the work was done, Cantika also went to her room to pray. He called the prayers maghrib and isya.

Cantika continued his writing.

He found a lot of inspiration today, so he wrote late into the night.

Cantika mobile phone alarm rings, dawn prayer time arrives.

Cantika woke up ablaze and prayed, after which he read the Qur'an in a very slow voice. She was afraid that Bi Susi would hear her voice again.

But even though he had lowered his voice still heard. This time it was not Bi Susi who heard it but Arya. Arya had woken up and was thirsty so she wanted to go down and get some water. But as he passed the room Cantika next to his room Arya heard a very small melodious voice.

Curiously Arya knocks on the door of Cantika's room, she feels it is Cantika's voice. Although it sounded foreign but he was very familiar with the voice of the woman he loved.

"Who?" Ask Cantika while hastily clearing her prayer tools and Qur'an. Fortunately, the door was locked.

"I." Answer Arya.

Cantika opens the door for Arya. "What's Ar? do you need anything?" Ask Cantika.

Arya looked to the left and to the right looking for the source of the voice earlier. "What did you read?" Arya's question made Cantika panic.

"Emm nothing, why?" Cantika was feeling very nervous.

"But I heard a very beautiful voice just now. It's obscure and very small, it seems like the language is also foreign to me but I'm sure it's your voice." The word Arya made Cantika even more nervous.

"Ah that, yesterday I heard a very beautiful foreign chant. That's the song Bi Susi heard yesterday. I liked it so much that I studied it and tried to sing it." With great difficulty Cantika found the reason.

"Oh let me hear, that song is so beautiful and heart touching." Arya said curiously.

"It's just a song, I'm going down to the kitchen right now." Cantika said, it was clear to Arya that Cantika would not allow her to hear the song.

But Arya's not a coercor "Yes I've been going to get off drinking." Arya said controlling her curiosity.

Seeing the arya go Cantika felt uneasy, but in addition she also felt bad if she continued to hide this from Arya. Cantika decides she will tell Arya everything but when the time comes, Cantika finds her father.

I don't know when that happened, Cantika really misses the father figure she has never met.
