We Are Different

Kangen Your Cuisine

Tomorrow morning - early in the morning after dawn prayers arrived - Aluna's phone vibrated the sign of incoming messages. Aluna grabs her phone and opens a message that turns out to be from Malik.

Malik

Assalamu'alaikum Al, I miss your cooking. I'll come by noon, can I eat at your house?

Aluna smiled reading Malik's message. He quickly replied to the message of the man who would soon propose to his parents.

Alunas

Wa'alai. What do you want to masakin?

Malik

What is important to your cooking.

Alunas

All right, then accompany me shopping.

Malik

Well maybe, then soon I'll go straight to your house.

Malik put his phone on his nightstand and changed his clothes and started his car. Shortly after, he left for Aluna's house.

About seven o'clock Malik had arrived in front of Aluna's house. Said was surprised to see Aluna was neat in the morning on holiday.

"Where are you going, brother?" Ask Said.

"You go shopping to the market" replied Aluna.

"Kok didn't say I was. I'm not ready - ready you know" Welcomed Said who was surprised because Aluna had no message to him that this morning they would shop at the market.

"So I'm not going with you" Aluna said.

"So who's the same?" Said asked curiously.

"That person has arrived" Aluna glanced towards the front.

Malik's car just arrived.

"Morning crazy has arrived at people's homes, but last night also just met. Still seven hours have been very heavy, very terrible love that" Sindir Malik.

Aluna just smiled sweetly and meaningfully.

"Yes, Brother wants to go to the market first with Malik" said Aluna and passed away from the presence of Said.

Malik looks fresh in casual clothes. Grey training pants - light ash and black color t-shirt. So did Aluna who only wore navy cotton jogers and long-sleeved shirts in ash, covered with matching headscarves.

"Is he ready?" Malik asked with a smile welcoming Aluna's arrival.

"Udah, yuk" Welcome Aluna.

Aluna and Malik get in Malik's car and they immediately go to the nearest market Aluna's house. Arriving at the market with patience Malik accompanied Aluna to buy ingredients.

For almost an hour they shopped. Malik was still patiently walking beside Aluna while carrying a lot of packages containing their groceries.

"Breakfast there yuk Lik, lontong kernalnya notoriously delicious you know" said Aluna pointed towards the cart of the puffer seller in front of the market.

"Can but put the goods in the car first yes" welcome Malik.

After all the goods are stored in the trunk of the car then Aluna and Malik walk to the pecal shop.

After finishing breakfast they return to Malik's house and are greeted warmly by Said. Said helps Malik to lift Aluna's groceries to the kitchen.

"Said, Mas will propose to Aluna as soon as possible to the family in the village. But before Mas permission used to be the same as you because you are the guardian of marriage Aluna" said Malik.

Said felt moved because even though Said's age was far below Malik but Malik was very respectful of Said's position.

"Alhamdulillah Mas's. I am very happy to hear it and I will be very supportive of Mas Malik's goodwill" Said said.

"Sister Luan failed once and I also feel guilty and responsible as her guardian. For me at this time the most important thing is the happiness of Luna. Our family used to oppose Mas's relationship with Kak Luna because of different beliefs. There is no more barrier for you. Please be happy, Luna. He is a family pride. Brother Luna once felt the bitterness of a household. Two years he was away from the family and two years that he harbored his own sadness" Said said with a sad face.

"God willing Said I will make Aluna happy because Aluna's happiness is my happiness" said Malik.

"Well, I'm so glad that you're finally the one who will be married to Kak Luna. A few months ago, Kak Luna told me that she and Mas are in one office. At that time I was very worried that you would have a forbidden relationship like before but Kak Luna told me that Mas Malik had converted. I was surprised and said to Luna. If so, there is no barrier for you. But Kak Luna does not want to because of her status now that has been widowed" Said said.

"It was all this time that was a hindrance that she wanted to come back to me. Had he told me from the beginning that he was alone again, this would have happened sooner. But Aluna hasn't changed, I understand her decision. A little longer, but I'm grateful to have it all revealed before it's too late. Fortunately I was able to finish it with Mas Bian and he wanted to give up for Aluna's happiness" said Malik.

"I'm sure Mama would be very surprised to hear this news" Said said.

Malik smiled faintly at Said's words.

"I'll call Mama to come here so Mas Malik can meet and ask Mama's permission" Said continued.

"No need Said, let us go there. Poor Aunt so tired of coming here" Prevent Malik.

"Okay Mas then" Said said.

"But how did Mas convert to Islam. I'm really curious?" Ask Said.

Malik smiled while taking a deep breath.

"The whole story Said. Three years ago I was so heartbroken that Aluna got married. Almost every night I dreamt of seeing and hearing Aluna wearing a hijab and teaching. Even though at that time I knew Aluna had not worn a hijab" Malik replied.

"Sir Luna wears a hijab just as she is about to marry Mas" Welcomed Said.

"Maybe the inner contact yes, I remember my first dream right on the night before Aluna ijab kabul. I got word from Mutia that Aluna is getting married to a man who's in a family match. It was very upset at the time but could not do anything to prevent it" Malik said.

"Your love struggle won is so great" Praised Said.

Malik smiled back. Without feeling the time just passed after they had a long chat. Aluna came up with a look wearing a cooking apron.

"Lik, Said eat yuk. Aren't you hungry after a long conversation?" Ask Aluna.

"Laper donk" Welcome Said.

"Yuk Mas we eat, before Kak Luna gets angry" Bisik Said.

Malik chuckled at the words of his sister-in-law. They walked to the dining room. There turned out to have presented some food menu cooked Aluna quickly.

They sat three in front of the dining table and began to enjoy the lunch dishes. Aluna cooks gulai chicken, lalapan and sambel terasi.

Malik began to eat very antusian. This meal has been a long time since I missed it. Once the food reached Malik's mouth, he could not say any more words.

"Where are you, good, right?" Ask Said.

Malik walked over to Aluna's face, who was blushing in shame. The longing for Aluna cuisine has paid off. From now on and in the future he will certainly always be spoiled Aluna with his cooking.

"Enak, that's delicious. I've really missed eating your cooking Al" Praised Malik.
