Trapped in Love with the Idol

22. The Deepened Taste

Returning home from school, it was raining, Balqis and her three friends were pedaling their bicycles quickly fearing the rain would soon grow heavier.

Dinda and Po who originally planned to stop by the newly opened hijab shop near the school building were also forced to delay.

They were still pedaling bicycles together until later in the T-junction Balqis took in a different direction from his three friends.

"Don't forget it later afternoon naji Qis."

The word Dinda reminds me of when Balqis turned.

"Yeahaaa..."

Balqis.

Balqis sped up her foot on her bike until she stopped at Aki's house.

Balqis got off the bike, carrying her new bike through the side door to be placed in an empty room near the kitchen for fear of rain.

"Assynoltoupe..."

Balqis said hello.

"Getishalight."

Albar's voice answered Balqis's greeting.

His voice was like from the terrace between the kitchen and the well.

Along with that came the voice of a small cat.

After taking off his shoes and putting them on a shelf near the door, Balqis walked straight through the kitchen and then out of the kitchen door where there was a dividing patio to the well.

Albar was there, feeding the cat that Balqis used to feed.

The cat seemed to be familiar with the artist.

Sundal snub while raising his tail high.

"I'll give you the name Cimot."

Albar.

"What's he eating?"

Tanya Balqis who then rounded her eyes in disbelief saw one piece of large chicken thigh was exhausted, and the other was still intact.

"You give the cat two thighs of fried chicken?"

Balqis.

"Lho why is it? He's got it."

"But it's fried chicken."

Balqis said he still could not believe that two pieces of whole chicken thighs were given all to kittens.

"So I bought eight pieces at Aki's sodara stall, but inside there are still six."

Albar.

Balqis.

Albar then stood up, the Cimot had already started to appear to be enjoying the second chicken thigh happily.

"You're this, what's not too much love two fried chicken thighs for kittens."

Balqis muttered while taking off her sling bag.

"Excessive how? If I take him to the new candle light dinner too much."

Albar said, making Balqis slap his arm.

"You've got serious people too."

Balqis then headed to her room.

"Aki again to the city, nemenin Pak Haji Hasan take savings of livestock groups."

Albar.

"Ah just taken?"

Balqis asked who then after putting her bag in the room then came out again.

"Yes let all of you meet who want cooperation he said, possibly until night Aki said."

Albar.

Balqis.

"I bought another chimot cage, he's in it, pity he's still a little dangling later on brought wewe gombel."

Said Albar again.

"They... Wewe gombel took a little boy, not a kitten."

Upset Balqis.

"Oh kirain is important to children."

Albar doesn't care.

"The artist's basic is unclear."

Grouse Balqis while then heading to the bathroom to wash your face and copy.

Albar contacted Fajar to ask for his cat cage order.

"It will otw bosqu, be patient for a moment, the moon just wait for the night, hasiiiik."

Dawn said as Albar told him to quickly come with the cage.

In the house of Ustadzah Nur, it looks Adit also new to his home.

After the salaman with his Umi, Adit immediately headed to the room to put down his briefcase.

Umi asked Adit who was busy removing the buttons of his shirt sleeve and also his collar.

"Yes just like Umi, just like teaching at Bimbel, the difference is that we have more students and more material."

Adit said as he sat on the large sofa of his living room.

Ustadzah Nur smiled.

"Thank God. Whatever is important, the point is your science benefits."

Ustadzah Nur said to his son.

"Yes Umi, Adit will always try to remember that."

Adit smile.

Ustadzah Nur nodded.

"Oh yes Dit."

Ustadzah Nur sat on the sofa not far from the son.

"Ustadz Zaki just called."

"Zaki Ustadz?"

Adit frowned.

"Yes, he asked when you had time to go to Abah Yai."

"Oh yeah, Adit forgot that."

Adit patted his forehead.

Later he was too busy with his new activities teaching at two Bimbel and plus the preparation to enter so a new Teacher at Aliyah where Balqis school.

Ah Balqis, it feels like Adit has become a beautiful and sweet face Balqis again.

Adit had been eager to express his feelings for Balqis, but he still held the principle to not invite Balqis to date, but would immediately ask for her, so Adit felt he had to wait for the right time, that is later after Balqis graduated school.

Well, it's okay if Balqis later wants to go to college, Adit will also still support Balqis college even if for example they later married.

Because for Adit, however, women must also have a qualified education, because women will be the first school for children.

A Mother is a madrassa for children, so the science of religion and general science should be balanced. That is the principle of Adit.

"Yes you call Ustadz Zaki immediately, then spit out soan, it is not good to also delay good intentions, let alone friendship with Abah Yai who is clearly one of your Teachers when in the cottage."

Ustadzah Nur.

Adit nodded.

"One of the keys to science in order to be useful is also to establish friendship with Master."

Ustadzah Nur gave his son advice.

"Yes Umi, all right, Adit will call Ustadz Zaki."

Adit said at last.

Adit who actually originally wanted to rest all talk about Balqis to Umi finally had to postpone his intention.

He got up from his position and then went into the room to pick up the phone.

Adit sat on the edge of the bed, calling the ustadz number Zaki, an older sister of his class at school and also at the cottage first.

"Assynoltom..."

Adit said a greeting as soon as his phone was picked up.

"Getishalight."

There was a soft voice of a woman from across the street.

"Ah Fatimah yah?"

Adit asked as soon as he heard a soft voice that answered his greetings.

"Yes." Yeah."

Legally.

"Abang Zaki is there?"

Ask Adit.

"Oh Abang Zaki just came out with Bang Razak."

Fatimah Sahut.

"Hp was left at the table, it seemed like it was in a hurry anyway."

Said Fatimah.

"Ah so, yes later Bang Adit call again if he has gone home."

Said Adit.

After that Adit said hello again and closed his phone.

Adit sighed.

There is a bad taste in Adit's heart suddenly after a long time not talking with Fatimah finally now back to talking.

Adit recalled the time in the cabin Abah Yai who was still brother to Zaki and Fatimah tried to match Adit with Fatimah but Adit refused.

Not because of anything, but because Adit's heart was already much tethered to Balqis.

Well, Adit to this day has not dared to talk to Umi and tell the incident to Umi.

The incident that had made his relationship with Zaki and Abah Yai a little stretch.

Although finally recently their relationship again improved after Adit soan first eid al-Fitr some time ago.
