Watching You With Do'A

Chapters. 7: Preaching Ning Zahra

"Let's go, dik," invited gus Umar while dragging his sister's arm slowly, and ignored Laila's question.

"Assalamu'alaikum bi, '" said his second greeting as he walked out of Aini's aunt's residence.

"Wa'alaikumsalam,," replied Aini and Aida at the same time, accompanying the departure of kyai Abdullah's daughter's son.

Laila walked a little quickly following the big brother's footsteps, and the two sisters headed straight for the car.

Gus Umar immediately drove his vehicle at medium speed, down a paved road that was still quite crowded.

"Sir, why didn't you talk to Aida?" Laila asked, starting the conversation after quite a while her two went silent.

"So, I don't think the time is right yet, and I'm also worried about Aini's unhealthy state" replied Umar, glancing at the sister at a glance.

"But tomorrow night," Laila hung up her speech, and did not want to continue. Laila is not willing if her sister proposes to another girl, even though Laila knows that ning Zahra is a good girl. But for Laila, her older sister is more suitable if she is with Aida, her best friend.

"Sister is also confused, dik," replied Umar who understood the direction of the sister's conversation, "sister is also confused, even if he had the opportunity to talk to Aida... and honestly telling her about big brother's feelings, is that still any use? If the match still continues? Wouldn't it be better, brother and Aida wouldn't have to open up to each other so we wouldn't get hurt more?" Gus Umar took a deep breath, and breathed out violently.

"Wantas? Does your sister still accept that match?" Laila looked at her sister, demanding answers.

Gus Umar was still focused on the steering wheel, and did not immediately answer the question of the younger brother. Until the car driven by Umar gus entered the yard of the house, and Gus Umar immediately parked his vehicle in the garage next to the main house.

Laila did not go down immediately, the girl was still waiting for her brother's answer.

Gus Umar also looked at the sister and undo his intention to go down, "later in Jerusalem brother will pray with Allah, so that God pointed out which is best for brother," gus Umar sounded resigned.

Laila nodded, and smiled at her sister. "May Aida be the best" Laila murmured inwardly.

"Let's get off" the older brother asked, and Umar immediately opened the door of his car and then got off followed by Laila from the other side.

"Assalamu'alaikum," the two entered the house, saying their greetings simultaneously.

"Wa'alaikumsalam," replied everyone who was in the living room.

"Grandfather, grandma.. Umar misses the same grandfather and grandmother," said Umar, when he saw his grandfather and grandmother were sitting on the sofa with his brother and umi in the family room. Gus Umar immediately greeted the two older people and hugged the two alternately.

"Bad grandchild, why not go home and visit grandparents?!" The protest of the grandmother while pinching her arm slowly, after Gus Umar sat beside her.

"The plan is later tonight Umar wants to visit his grandparents, while bringing martabak favorite grandmother. If an afternoon like this is not a martabak seller who is in the fork there, has not opened the Grandma?" Reply to Umar defending himself.

"Pinter bless you," again the grandmother pinched slowly her grandson, but this time on the cheek of Gus Umar.

"Grandmother, how come Umar's cheeks are pinched? Later the fondness of Umar reduced nek...?" Gus Umar pretended to be pouting, and the grandmother chuckled while hugging the grandchild's sturdy shoulders with a feeling of anxiety.

Such is the relationship between Umar and his grandparents, Gus Umar always act spoiled on both of him, especially on the grandmother. And kyai sepuh with his wife, was very fond of gus Umar. his one-on-one grandson that he both had.

"Gus, there is something that grandfather wants to convey the same until," said nyai Robi'ah, staring at his son who is still leaning spoiled on the old grandmother's shoulder.

Gus Umar straightened his body, and his feelings became erratic.

Gus Umar nodded, "cake," replied Umar briefly, and seemed uninspired.

"The plan is grandfather fox and is accelerated to tonight," continued kyai sepuh, with a look at the granddaughter.

"Tonight?!" Tanya Laila, the beautiful girl who had just been silent was very surprised to hear her grandfather's words.

Gus Umar was no less surprised, but the young man tried to hide his surprise.

"Grandfather, do we not need special preparation for the silaturrahim to the house of parents ning Zahra?" Ask Gus Umar trying to find a gap, to buy time.

"Everybody has prepared gus, just calm down," replied Robi'ah, who made Umar gus become weak to hear him.

There was a maghrib call from the mosque in the pesantren complex next to the main house of kyai Abdullah, and their conversation stopped for a moment to hear the sound of the Adhan.

"Prepare gus, as we pray maghrib we will go directly to the residence of the parents of ning Zahra," kyai Abdullah said to his son, shortly after the adhan maghrib finished reverberating.

And they all immediately disbanded to perform the maghrib prayer service, and then prepared to pay a visit to the ning Zahra's parents' house.

After traveling for more than an hour, the group of kyai Abdullah arrived at the residence of the parents of ning Zahra who were in the boarding school. Ning Zahra's parents were also caregivers of boarding schools, just like Kyai Abdullah.

Kyai sepuh immediately got out of the car and followed by the others, and the presence of kyai sepuh along with the family kyai Abdullah was warmly welcomed by the family kyai Hashim, who already knew the arrival of the guest.

Yes, this afternoon kyai sepuh has told kyai Hashim that he and his family will visit tonight.

The two old friends also embraced each other, and after greeting kyai Abdullah and gus Umar, kyai Hashim and a middle-aged man who was the same age as kyai Abdullah, invite guests to come in.

The middle-aged man who was called gus Din by kyai sepuh nodded, "really yai, abah has already delivered his," he replied as he nodded.
