The Repentance of the Sinner

98.A Challenge

...Happy Reading's...

Because of a scream and de sahan voice that did not even belong to Nicholas, he was forced to leave this morning to return to the place where Alisya was born.

"Yank, isn't your dad mean?" Nicholas drove his car at a moderate speed, while trying to write off the info about his father, so that he could prepare himself before meeting Alisya's father in person.

"No." Alisya answered with ease.

"really? how about facing someone like me?" Ask Nicholas back.

"Why did you?" Alisya felt astonished by her lover's question.

"No idea, haven't you noticed me all this time? can't judge myself that?" Somehow he began to be sensitive if he had mentioned about Alisya, but he used to be a person who belongs to the class of fools with other people's opinions about him.

"Kok instead so change it anyway?" Alisya does not know where the actual direction of the conversation from Nicholas.

"Hey baby, if you don't know and don't want to know anything about me, then you don't care about me?" His tone sounded as if Nicholas did not accept that Alisya would not know about him.

What the hell is this story?

"Emm. No, I don't need to be so nervous, I'm handsome, charismatic, fine, just perfect for me, nothing to worry about." And giving compliments is the best solution according to him.

"really?" Nicholas' face even blushed after him, rarely his lover would praise him.

"Hmm. although sometimes mengeselin too anyway."

"That right?" Nicholas immediately pinched Alisya's cheek.

"But I love you." Alisya said later, which was able to make Nicholas' body more heated because of the shingles.

Beeeerr!

"Yank's badar hug?" Nicholas began to act, as if the magnetism in Alisya increasingly radiated its power.

"No way, I'll tell you dad loh mas later!"

"You're a little bit of a father just keep going!" He returned to fix his seat and straightened his gaze towards the streets.

"Patience, patient people dear to God, okay?" Alisya chose to rub Nicholas' cheek, so that he did not sulk again.

How happy was Nicholas' heart when Alisya said the word affection, because usually the woman was rarely willing to express those words.

"You're going to jump on Bodat yank?" Ask Nicholas back.

"What do you mean by Hanny?"

"Well, who else!"

Because yesterday he heard himself that Alisya's father asked Hanny to come home with him.

"Because it's my father's request, I told him, but I know for myself, Jeremy wouldn't let Hanny go without him, so maybe those morning rituals just caught up with us."

"I guessed it." He has memorized the true habits of his boss in terms of the morning, especially lately as if his mesvm nature is getting crazier.

"Kasian is actually Hanny, right? isn't her body crumbling every day being bullied by her husband?"

"Pfftthh, I think the one who often oppresses not Boss Jeremy, but your friend!" Moreover, Nicholas had seen himself in the video when Hanny was always the guide about the rocking bed.

"What cooking?" Alisya was horrified as she thought about it. "But if Jeremy keeps getting bullied why does he keep asking?" Ask back.

"Yes because of that. emm. said people uwenaaak tenan it feels yank." Although he has never felt it, but as a man he has also had a solo career, just like a pleasure, especially if there is an opponent, it is certainly incredible he thought.

"What a hell, it's not clear!" Alisya did not want to ask further, because the shadow of the black bell at that time was still clearly recorded in her holy brain.

"Here you go, tonight we might be able to practice it."

"Well, how about tonight anyway? don't worry about you!"

"Aren't we told to go home to get married? means tonight is our first night dong yank?" Nicholas could have concluded it himself.

"Woah..why are you so sure?"He stared in amazement at the face of his lover who was not as me as before.

"The instinct of the dong yank man, hehe.." Answer while chuckling.

"People when asked to marry impromptu panic mas, why do mas even look happy as if without burden?"

"Because even before you were a widow I was ready to marry you, I only gave a moment's pause for you to enjoy your single time at that time, but instead stabbed the mafia!" He returned to the sewot when he remembered the events of that day.

"That's it, it's over."He was lazy to discuss it because the edges would definitely only be noisier.

"From now on, I'll never let you walk away from me for even a moment, you know, baby?"

"You're threatening me?"

"Preethah!" But Alisya even smiled amusedly in response.

"What did you say?" Nicholas sharpened his gaze, the new age of Alisya the woman who dared to curse him, in addition to Hanny his arch-enemy of course.

"Nothing, soon we'll be there." Alisya can only smile when she hears a change but can make her heart cool, because it turns out that happiness is not complicated, even small things can make us feel peerless happiness.

Finally, Nicholas' car arrived at Alisya's birth house right when the dzuhur prayer adhan reverberated.

"Assalamu'alaikum father, mother." Alisya immediately kissed the hands of her father and mother alternately when they arrived were greeted at the door.

"Wa'alaikumsalam, is this the new mother's son-in-law?" Ask Alisya's mother who was very curious, that night she only saw it at a glance, not even so clearly because it was night.

"Yes mom, my name is Nicholas." Nicholas replied with complete confidence as he kissed Alisya's mother's hand.

"You're muslim?"

When Nicholas wanted to take turns shaking Alisya's father's hand, but Alisya's father looked away, he deliberately hid his hand behind his body.

"Huh? Yes sir." Nicholas who initially felt confident, now the feeling began to fade little by little.

"Then we go to the boarding house now, you will be the priest of the santri in the congregational prayer this time." Said Alisya's father firmly.

He just wants to know, how strong the mental prospective son-in-law, because being a priest when congregating is not easy, but it is also not too difficult, it all depends on each of us.

If being a priest during congregational prayer alone is not able, how he wants to become a priest in his small family later, because he must be the head of the family and take responsibility for all in the world and the hereafter.

Duars!

At once Nicholas' feet felt suddenly limp, not that he refused or did not want to, but if suddenly became the priest of hundreds of santri and also ustad and ustadzah there, Nicholas feels still not ready, because about the science of religion he is even far from perfect, maybe even reading him compared to the santri there is certainly still far behind.

"Step up your body, we're leaving right now!" Alisya's father said as he saw Nicholas suddenly holding his daughter's arm tightly, as if asking for help.

"Darling, help me." Nicholas' whisper with a face that's rattled.

"Don't you learn a lot that day? did you never pray all this time?" Ask Alisya who actually wants to know also, how far the lover knows about worship, because he thinks it is also very important.

"I've started to be diligent yank, but if suddenly immediately became the priest of the santri in the boarding school, I'm not ready yank." Nicholas is back.

"Why?"

"The text of the letter is still short, the reading is also not so faseh." Obviously Nicholas with a face that looks apprehensive.

"No matter mas, the legal requirement of prayer does not depend on reading a long letter, because even short does not matter."

"But yank I'm still not ready, help me talk to your father dong, next time I'll study more vigorously with Sholeh or Abah, okay?"

"If it's a condition to marry me how?" He had expected, his father would not give any other conditions other than in terms of worship, let alone material conditions because Alisya's father tidka matre, she doesn't even like having a rich daughter-in-law.

"Huh, really? haduuh... I became more afraid, if later my reading something wrong, am I immediately eliminated?" Nicholas asked who was panicking.

At first he was confident to come, because he had prepared a fantastic ring and dowry, but let's not be asked what the dowry was, he said, just now he came already directly given a challenge with things that are not in accordance with his expectations.

"Pfftthh... Why do we think we're in what competition? just do the best I can." Alisya replied that even felt funny.

"Mas can not imagine, if later I tremble trus not focus, trus wrong how?"

"The intention is all because they want to worship with God mas, not because of the wishes of Father or whoever it is, just be it, Nicholas certainly can and can, I believe in you mas." Alisya as if injecting energy into Nicholas' body by restoring his confidence, whatever happens later Alisya will not bother him because everyone has the right to be given a second chance as long as it is about goodness.

"All right."

Although hesitant, Nicholas tries to believe that he can, if you can choose he is better to face thousands of competitors than to be in a stressful situation like this.

Finally, with a step without confidence, Nicholas walked behind Alisya's father into the courtyard area of the boarding school.

"Ehh...? What is this show, it seems like they are not just among the santri?"

When they entered the Hall of the boarding school, Alisya had wrinkled both eyebrows because he saw so many pilgrims present, not even just in the mosque alone, in the hall until spread dozens of long mats.

"Yes, with the neighborhood as well." Replied Alisya's father lightly.

Degh's!

"aa.. Ay's.. Dad.. sa. I didn't become their priest all right, I'm part of the afternoon for sure Dad?" Nicholas asked who was nervous and trembling to see the number of pilgrims there.

"Why do you have to be in the afternoon, Dad deliberately asked Abah to invite the people around, to introduce the new son-in-law of Dad, hurry to take the water there, the prayer of this congregation will begin soon."

Duars!

Even Nicholas' body seemed to be hollow when he heard the words of Alisya's father who seemed to strangle his neck, especially when he saw the residents still keep coming to meet the Hall of the boarding school.

Although a little but still up yes bestie😁 is important their story continues until the end of this month.
