The Love Story of Haifa

24. Hero Came to Pick Up.

Haifa woke up cheerfully, as she could do anything without anyone forbidding her. After the end of the morning prayers Haifa went to the kitchen. Yesterday Bi Nani said that in the refrigerator there are many food ingredients. Haifa opened the refrigerator inside a refrigerator full of groceries, everything was complete. Then Haifa opened the cupboard hanging in the kitchen, inside which were lots of instant noodles and other dry foodstuffs. Bi Nani prepared everything well.

Haifa took the basin and filled it with rice. When Haifa was about to open the water tap, suddenly….

“What else are you, Haifa?” euis' mother rebuked when she saw Haifa washing the rice.

“Haifa wants to cook rice,” Haifa replied.

“No need, let Mamah cook rice.” Euis' mother took the basin from Haifa's hands.

“But, Mah...”

“Not a but-but! Let Mamah cook, you sit down,” said Ms. Euis.

“Haifa also wants to help Mamah cook,” Haifa said.

“Do not! Bride-to-be just sit sweet,” said Mother Euis.

Haifa left the kitchen scowling, then sat down on the sofa in front of the television. Bi Ros came out of his room and saw Haifa squeeze the television remote with her face bent. Bi Ros approached Euis' mother who was washing the rice.

“Haifa why, Ceu?” ask Bi Ros.

“Ngambek, because it can not cook,” replied Ibu Euis.

“Oh...kirain angry why,” says Bi Ros.

Then Bi Ros helped Mother Euis cook for breakfast.

Without them knowing there was someone who was watching them from the laptop screen while holding back a laugh. He is Vishnu. Vishnu was busy paying attention to the family's activities through CCTV connected to his laptop. Vishnu held back his laughter when he saw the annoyed Haifa while pressing the television remote.

“Haifa, her tv remote don't be pressured like that! Later broken,” reprimand Pak Yayat.

Haifa keeps the tv remote on the table.

“Bikinin coffee for Mr and Mang Tedi, gih!” said Mr. Yayat.

 Haifa's face was immediately cheerful.

“Iya.” Haifa headed straight for the kitchen.

Haifa looked for the cup in the closet.

“What are you looking for again?” mother Euis asked when she saw Haifa opening the closet one by one.

“Again search for a cup to make coffee,” Haifa replied while looking at the contents of the cupboard one by one.

“Later Mamah. Now you watch tv.” Euis' mother leads Haifa back to the television room.

Haifa returned to her seat while pouting.

“Loh, where's the coffee?” mr. Yayat asked to see Haifa returning without coffee.

“Haifa can not make coffee with Mamah,” Haifa replied.

“Mamah is the same as Mamah Deswita, not allowing Haifa to do anything,” Haifa said with a frown.

Soon after, Euis' mother brought two cups of coffee.

“Haifa banned from working by Ms. Deswita. He was afraid of Haifa why-why,” said Mother Euis.

“Tapikan Mamah Deswita is not here,” Haifa said.

“If you scuff a little, Mamah who scolded Mother Deswita,” replied Ibu Euis. Then Euis' mother returned to the kitchen.

Pak Yayat sighed.

“Just follow what your future-in-law has to say! You have a chance to rest,” said Mr. Yayat.

“But Haifa is bored, Sir,” Haifa replied.

“Sabar, later if you are married will not be bored again,” said Mr. Yayat.

“Hopefully, Sir,” says Haifa.

During the day Haifa accompanied Dodi, Arif and Alit swimming in the pool. Although not allowed to swim, Haifa was quite entertained to see Dodi and his cousins swimming while joking.

H minus four Mother Deswita called Haifa.

“Assalamualaikum, Haifa,” says Ms. Deswita.

“Waalaikumsalam, Mah,” Haifa replied.

“Later tonight we had dinner outside, yes! Coincidentally Vienna and Wira have come, we gather together,” said Ms. Deswita.

“The Haifa family has not known its younger siblings Vishnu,” said Ms. Deswita.

“Let Pak Tono pick up after praying magrib.”

“Iya, Mah,” Haifa replied.

“Don't forget to tell your parents!” mother Deswita's Message.

“Good, Mah,” replied Haifa.

“Udah, yes! Mom just wanted to tell you that. Assalamualaikum,” says Ms. Deswita.

“Waalaikumsalam,” reply Haifa.

Deswita's mother hung up.

At half-time, Haifa and her family were getting ready to go to dinner. They were waiting for Mr. Tono to pick them up.

Assalamualaik….

The sound of a bell ringing. Mr. Yayat opened the door. It turned out that it was not Mr. Tono who came but a man whose face was somewhat similar to Vishnu who was standing in front of the door

“Assalamualaikum,” said the man.

“Waalaikumsalam,” reply Pak Yayat.

Mr. Yayat shook the hand of the Wira.

“I'm Mr. Yayat, Mr. Haifa,” said Mr. Yayat.

“I was assigned to pick up Haifa and her family,” Wira said.

“Loh? Mr Tononya where?” ask Mr. Yayat confused.

“So afternoon he was allowed to go home, because there was his family who was sick,” replied Wira.

“Oh...”.

“Please enter Den Wira,” said Mr. Yayat.

“Thank you, Om.” The woman entered the apartment.

“Haifa!” call Mr. Yayat.

“Iya, Sir.” Haifa came out of her room.

Haifa looked at the man standing next to her Father. It seems Haifa knows his face. The man is somewhat similar to Vishnu.

“Loh? The Hero? How are you here?” ask Haifa.

“Hai, Haifa,” greet Wira.

“Hai,” reply Haifa.

The hero extended his hand to Haifa. But Haifa replied by putting both of her palms in front of her chest.

“Oh..sorry,” Wira said as if Wira understood why Haifa replied to her thus.

“Pak, who came?” ask Euis' mother when she comes out of her room.

Mother Euis was stunned to see Wira.

“Who's this, Sir?” ask Euis' mother.

“This is Den Wira, Den Wisnu's sister,’ replied Mr. Yayat.

“Oh...” Ibu Euis greet Wira with greetings ala Sundanese.

All the families of Haifa approached Wira and greeted Wira.

“It's all ready?” the hero asked when he saw that the Haifa family was getting ready to leave.

“Already, Mas,” replied Dodi and Arif.

“Let's cage now,” invite Wira.

Together they head to the car park. Arriving at the parking lot Wira immediately started the car and opened the back door. All the Haifa families got into the car.

“Already in all?” ask the girl while turning her head back.

“Already,” reply Dodi and Arif.

Wira looked behind the driver's seat. He saw Dodi and Arif sitting down and facing back.

“Why sit below?” ask Wira.

“No loading, Mas. So sit under aja while throwing,” replied Dodi.

“Time from Sumedang also sits below?” ask Wira.

“Time from Sumedang is enough, Mas. But because there is Teteh it will not be enough,” replied Dodi.

“If there is no Haifa Teteh, we can not ride a car like this and can not go to Jakarta,” said Arif.

“Tuh, dengerin,” sahut Haifa while sneering to Dodi.

The hero got down from the car looking at the situation in the back.

“The seat is full, yes?” ask Wira.

“Iya, Mas,” Dodi replied.

The hero thought for a moment.

“You can not bench him ?” ask the Hero to Haifa while pointing towards Alit.

“Who is your sister's name?” ask the hero to Arif.

“Alit,” reply Arif.

“You can't bench Alit?” ask the hero again to Haifa.

“It can, Mas. Alit is empty.” Arif answered.

“What is empty?” ask the hero to Arif.

“That means light, Mas,” replied Dodi.

“Oh...lightweight,” Reset Wira.

“Could?” ask the hero to Haifa for the third time.

“Can, Mas,” Haifa replied.

“If you can, you move forward while holding Alit. Om move here,” said Wira.

“And you two are sitting in the back,” Wira said.

“You will be on Dodi's bench,” Wira told Arif.

“Or it's up to both of you. As long as you can't sit here! Later your head is dizzy and your stomach is nauseous. And you can't eat well,” Wira said.

Finally Pak Yayat moved to the back and Haifa moved to the front, sitting next to Wira while holding Alit. Dodi and Arif moved into the back seat along with Mang Tedi and Bi Ros. Arif sits on Dodi's lap. After everything was done, Wira closed the car door and started running her car leaving the parking area.
