Angel For Thugs
Campus

This morning it started with rain.

Aliyah walked towards the campus with her yellow umbrella. Just about to enter the campus gate from the back of Aliyah there was a car that drove fast making puddles on the road splashing onto the light-colored Aliyah shirt.

"Astagfirullahalazim.bajuku gets dirty" said Aliyah.

It's the first day for Aliyah but it's got a fate of less wearing.

Arriving at the campus Aliyah rushed to the toilet to clean her dirty robe.

Aliyah tried to clean with water but no and yes not lost the existing wetter if watered continues.

Finally Aliyah taught in class with dirty clothes, because if you go home first to the apartment to change clothes will not have time because she has classes from morning until noon.

It was almost lunch hour, after finishing teaching Aliyah beberes and went to the mosque to pray zuhr. As he was ablution in the bathroom a girl approached Aliyah.

"Sister, I want to pray" the girl asked. Plain-faced girl like a maba (new student). Aliyah felt familiar with her face, like she had just met.

"yes deck, you were the one who just entered class with me right?" ask Aliyah.

"yes, sister, uh buk, uh brother, so confused to call what you want to call because mother uh brother is still young hehe" replied the girl.

"just call Aliyah's book because I'm your lecturer at this campus" replied Aliyah kindly.

"this is buk, wear this shirt only, clothes dirty mother later pray less afdhol again because of dirty clothes" said the girl with a friendly and full of smiles while thrusting a paper bag containing clothes.

Aliyah was a little surprised to see the girl's behavior. Doubtfully Aliyah rejected her good offer.

"sorry deck, it doesn't need me..."

"oh buk, my intentions are good I'm the same mother, come on take it, tomorrow I can return it, I can not look beautiful mother gini but her clothes are dirty" said the girl who welcomes and begs.

Given what the girl said there was a point, and Aliyah did feel uncomfortable wearing dirty clothes let alone want to pray, and she also did not have the heart to refuse an offer from this good student.

"well I will accept, tomorrow I will give it back, oh, what is your name?" asked Aliyah while taking the paper bag that had been thrust into her hand.

"Nur Asyifa buk, just call Syifa" replied the girl who was none other than Abdullah's sister.

What kind of coincidence is this? coincidence is very very like it was planned yes.can usually syifa bring a change of clothes for Aliyah 😁🤭

Let's flashback so as not to be confused and ask questions.

*flashback

At 7.30 am Aliyah was already in the lecturer's room after finishing from the bathroom cleaning her clothes but still dirty. Abdullah saw the condition of Aliyah.

"do you get dirty with Lia's clothes?" ask Abdullah.

"because the splash of the car was in front of the gate" Lia replied.

"does it look dirty? well where I will be in class until noon, I can not go home first change clothes, the first day may not be in class" lia complained.

"hmm.patient and remain confident yes Lia" said Abdullah with a smile.

Never had the heart to see Aliyah, Abdullah also wanted to help her. Abdullah called Syifa, but today there is a class at 10, so now Syifa is still at home. Abdullah asked Syifa to bring clothes for Aliyah.

"how's Aa? clothes for who?" ask syifa on telvon.

"just bring your best gown yes, if you can a new one and you have not used it yet" replied Abdullah on the phone.

"what's the reason why there's just, why try?" bawel Syifa asked a lot.

"bawain a sweet sister, it's for your future sister-in-law, but you who want to quickly have a brother-in-law" replied Abdullah.

"ah Aa this is weird, okay, I brought it" Syifa replied.

arriving at the campus Syifa gave a paper bag containing the shirt to Abdullah.

"the shirt for sister-in-law" said Syifa thrust a paper bag on her handsome mas.

"a man who loves his people, Aa is ashamed" replied Abdullah.

"this Aa from earlier is not clear there is ajaa" said Syifa.

"where did the sister-in-law say that? which one is which?" syifa answered, widening her eyes around.

"there, later on deck know, later you meet in the same class he" replied Abdullah.

"o Aa's dating a college student like me huh"? answer Syifa.

Abdullah shakes.

"She is the most beautiful and smartest in your class later, sitting at the front, and her clothes are dirty, you just pay attention to the deck" said Abdullah.

"It's just there, yes I went to class first yes, assalamualaikum" said Syifa who went to class.

Arriving in class Syifa immediately pay attention to the entire class, see one by one the faces of the students there.

Not long after the lecturer entered the classroom. Yes it is Aliyah. Syifa's eyes immediately centered on Aliyah who was in front of the class while introducing herself that she was their new lecturer.

"we must be the man, my sister-in-law's candidate as I said, masyaallah.." murmured Syifa.

After the class Syifa followed Aliyah to musholla, and finally they met du abudhu place.

flashback off's.

Aliyah had changed clothes and prayed, then returned to teaching because there was still one more class this afternoon.

Aliyah looked more confident than this morning, especially the clothes lent were also nice and comfortable, fitting once in the body of Aliyah was not like a loan shirt.

It doesn't feel like the day is up at night.

abdullah's harmonious family is having dinner together. Syifa who from earlier was impatient to tell the incident today to mother and brother looked very excited after eating.

"Buk, Abah, that's the Aa already have a candidate, where geulis pisan, pinter, young lecturer kayak Aa, masyaallah fit the gravestone" said Syifa semringah.

"what the hell is the deck, not ah, that's Aa's friend" Abdullah replied embarrassedly.

"what about that said the prospective sister-in-law" Syifa cetus.

"ceritain dong Aa Abah same Ibuk also want to know" said Abah smiling.

Then Abdullah told him about Aliyah and the incident that happened to Aliyah this morning until her clothes were dirty.

"ohhh...Do you like that Aliyah?" ask Ibuk.

Abdullah only smiled shyly.

"ih pretentious shy shy Aa ni" ledek Syifa.

"Aa like buk, but he doesn't" Abdullah replied.

"the time is not like Aliyah brother Aa, Aa really fit to know the same brother Aliyah" replied Syifa.

"hm.hud deck, Aa was joking around to say that the prospective sister-in-law, who obviously Aliyah does not like Aa, Aa also does not want to expect more" abdullah said with a smile even though he saw from the light of his eyes he was sad if he remembered Aliyah who never returned his feelings.

Then the dinner session was over. Abah Ibuk and Syifa went to rest.

Abdullah who originally wanted to go to the room to sleep was blocked by the cool air outside. He also chose to sit on the terrace of the house while enjoying the night air and the sound of crickets.

"do not long outside, cold Aa" said mother who suddenly appeared from inside the house.

"loh ibuk has not slept" asked Abdullah.

"busy want to sleep, but see Aa outside itself so mother of Aa first" replied the mother with a shady and warm smile. Ibuk sat next to Abdullah and held the hand of his beloved son.

"Aliyah how's that guy? why your child can like him" asked mom very gently.

Abdullah took a deep breath. .

"She is a very remarkable woman buk, well, sholehah, smart, beautiful, meek like mother" replied Abdullah.

"the bus will understand if you meet with him directly" added Abdullah.

"then invite oruh neng Aliyah to play in our house" replied the mother.

Abdullah shook his head while smiling.

"his heart is already owned by another man" Abdullah replied.

"do you mean married?" tanya ibuk

"it hasn't been done yet, but.it looks like it will" Abdullah replied.

"if it is difficult to get it then try to learn to forget, and open your heart to others son" replied the mother while stroking her son's shoulder.

"everything feels difficult for Abdullah buk" replied Abdullah who could not bear to hold sad.

"it was a long time ago, only he that Abdullah wanted was open, but Allah's destiny did not allow Abdullah to have him" Abdullah replied.

"God's destiny is not limited to today, son, if until today he is not yours, it could be tomorrow, tomorrow or tomorrow again, do not forget that God is turning back the hearts of men" replied the mother in a very soft tone so that the hearts of her children are not sad anymore.

"thud...Abdullah does not know in what way again buk, Abdullah always prayed to be close to Aliyah, but the more Abdullah tried to approach the more Aliyah felt far away" said Abdullah.

"Aa.ask Allah that Aa's soul mate who is close to Aa, simply Aa approach God, get him through the prayer and power of God. If it is not Aliyah who came it is a sign that Aa is not a match with him, let God's destiny that determines Aa, now Aa is quite wheeled and surrendered, sure the best of God will come for Aa" said ibuk.

Abdullah leaned his head on the warm shoulder of his mother, what a great love for a mother to soothe her child.

"Thank you buk, Abdullah beg Prayer from mother always, ridho ibuk is a ridho of Allah as well" said Abdullah embraced his mother.
