(Not) Layla Majnun
Mosaic 73

Albifardzan

After all the jama'ah prayers. The tone gave a signal to instantly gather in the dining room.

The hunger began to tease after seeing the many menus at the dining table. Everything looks delicious because of hungry stomach.

Layla walked ahead. She must have been sad because her Ning was hosting straight away. A friend named Aisyah since then also looks bad because she has absolutely nothing to do with all of us.

I am still astonished too. Why did Nada suddenly entertain us like this. I hope this isn't all because of Salwa. I hope this banquet is purely out of friendship.

The tone sat at the very end, following Salwa beside him. Then Aisyah and Layla started fighting because they did not want to be with Salwa. There's no way I'm asking Andre to sit next to him.

Finally I signaled Layla to sit next to Salwa. She's pouting. He pursed his lips because I forced him. But still, he wants to do it. To date, Layla has never denied. Only on my return and return to the cottage yesterday. To this day I also do not know why.

"Please eat, yes ... Don't hesitate," said Nada.

The man was originally just me and Andre. Dharma and his friend did not appear to exist. Until they passed by at the intersection of the dining room. The tone calls for Dharma. Invite him to join us.

I think Nada and Dharma are related. I noticed that Nada was very enthusiastic about the presence of Dharma. Every Dharma was invisible, he immediately asked his Qodam.

The me who had chosen to sit in front of Salwa shifted to the seat next to me which was empty. Giving my place to Andre who was originally facing Nada. Then with a smile that hinted. Dharma immediately sat in the first position Andre.

Friends with Dharma do not participate. It might be sad if he was among us. Moreover, Nada did not call him earlier. Only Dharma.

Everyone started eating. Seen about. There is no guyonan. Andre who used to be a cherry suddenly very solemn to eat his food. Let's eat very politely.

Layla doesn't seem to eat. He took a little rice side dish. He must be hungry. He worked hard all day. From the first day I saw him not drinking or eating.

I looked at her, gesturing for her to eat more. But he was indifferent and pretended to be unconscious with the code I gave him.

Layla, at a time like this. He looks so calm.

"I'm going home first. You rest here, think of it as your own home," The tone that understands silence instantly breaks silence.

"You got a show, NAD?'' ask Andre.

"Regular is the schedule" replied Nada.

Just natural. Putting yourself together at times is sure to take some time as well. She's Kyai's daughter who rarely has much time for ordinary people like us. He was willing to spend the least time for us

.

"Later nginep is also here?'' much

"Wouldn't Wa?" ask Nada to Salwa.

The girl who had been eating was suddenly immediately choked to hear the question.

My reflex immediately gave my drinking water to him. A little embarrassed and lowered his face he accepted and drank it sip by gulp.

"I'm just asking, Wa. Why are you surprised, then? Grogi, huh?'' ledek Nada's.

Not to calm his cousin. The tone even made him misbehave.

"Ning! Don't do it, do it!'' Shy whining.

I don't want it to make others smile funny.

I no longer respond. Pity also Salwa if you feel depressed because of my presence. But didn't he come here because there was me too? Huh! I went to pe-de an gini. I didn't realize it because I was smiling to myself.

"Well! Someone secretly stole an opportunity, this! Be present!" Andre shouted while glancing at me.

I'm hush. Because it will trigger things you don't want.

"Layla, would you like to go back?'' ask Dharma suddenly.

I looked straight at Layla. The food was almost gone, but he still put a little bit of the meal into his mouth.

His behavior was the same as the fast at that time. The difference is that he did not stop eating fried foods, now he eats rice that stays a little but he tries to spend it immediately.

Layla smiled at Dharma.

"No, kang"

"It's okay, if you want to add. Here's the badge,"

Dharma offered a large bowl of white rice to Layla.

"Layla want to add?" much

He shook his head quickly.

"No. Alhamdulillah was full," Layla replied not looking at me but at Dharma who was still holding her bowls of rice.

"It wasn't Layla's cabin called Najwa, was it?'' ask Nada.

"Yes, Ning," Layla replied starting to feel bad.

"Why, Lo?" tanya Nada was curious.

"I asked Layla's people. Layla is from Kediri, but they're pointing at the wrong person. He said there was no Layla from Kediri" Andre said.

He told me about the beginning of our arrival. Because of the different calls, Andre repeatedly wrong people.

"It is fortunate that there is Salwa. If nothing for sure we don't know where Layla is" Andre added.

Once again the atmosphere became awkward because Salwa and I he ceengin again.

"I'm sorry, but excuse me for going back, yeah..." Suddenly Layla stood up. Carrying his empty plate.

Without waiting for approval he went straight to the kitchen. It seemed like she was not comfortable being in that one room with her Ning.

Remember very well how she was so shy when I called her through Nada first. She was angry because I didn't think that the tone that my friend was her Ning that she should respect.

After Layla's departure all continued eating. Andre was still telling me at length about Layla's search this afternoon. Enthusiastic to forget if the current in dealing with whom.

If Nada wasn't my friend she would have been Layla one of the fugitive santriwati. For he was taken by a man who was not his muhrim. Moreover, the man like Andre who showed clearly his love for Layla.

After eating, I gathered the dishes. Take her to the kitchen to direct me granddaughter.

Nada and Salwa say goodbye. They went back to the cottage. Leaving us with Dharma as his overseer. Nada granted the Dharma a patent. If we need anything, then we can ask the Dharma.

In the kitchen I went straight to Layla who had just washed her dishes.

"You still hungry, Nduk?" ask me

I asked Layla to shift. Because the position is right in front of the dishwasher sink.

"What would Mas Albi do?" tannya

"Yes washing dishes. Cook to eat," I replied

He dyed. Looking back from the kitchen.

"Kok is deserted, which other one?" tannya

Perhaps he had just looked towards the restaurant.

"Dissolved. You're done eating all of them" I replied.

"Here, let Layla be the one who's holy." He said while taking over the plate I was holding.

"No need. Usually it's also the mas itself that washes the dishes,"

"That's at home."

"What difference?"

"Well, here are the guests,"

"You're not a guest, though,"

"I'm guest. But it could also be a maid,"

"Hush! By the way,"

"I don't mean. We are here because there is a mas. If it were just me, it would be impossible to make a banquet like this. Mangakanya, I do not need to wash dishes. Let me just, I'm a guest." He repeated remembering my current position

"Udah! I'm done!" I said

I picked up the plates and put them on the dish rack.

Layla followed with her eyes.

"You're still hungry, aren't you?'' first I repeat again.

"Snack! It's full, though,"

"lik! Your grave earlier, Lo little."

"But it's full, Mas Albi!'' Refute by suppressing words.

Seeing Layla like that made me relieved. He's back to how he was. Not like at the dinner table, like a possessed person. Eating is unnatural.

"When you are still hungry, you want to eat papaya, masakin you papaya,"

"Haha! Can you?" Layla laughed.

"Your genes! When you cook, you often help. Let alone your favorite dishes, cook anything you can, kok!'' My exclamation.

Layla shorthanded. Look at me with eyes. A sign that he doesn't believe what I just said.
