Aulia Bilqis
New friend

Rangga, Lily and Aulia are foraging around the rented. Many food vendors are selling along the way . So for Aulia who has not been able to cook, it could be another alternative if she does not have a household assistant.

" Then you don't have to worry that Aul will starve" Lily said as she continued walking.

" She agreed with my mom . Even though just simple food doesn't matter, does it ?" rangga asked Aulia who focused on seeing the sellers lined up on the roadside.

" It does not matter dong pa, so that Aul also learns not to be too picky food," replied Aul casually .

" Good ! now what do we eat dong ?"

" Because we are now in Jogja not complete dong if you have not eaten gudeg , tuh no sell ," pointed Aulia at the stall that sells gudeg .

" Kyu that's it" Rangga and Lily happily followed.

Aulia's designated stall looks crowded . Aulia and her parents had to patiently wait their turn. They were queuing up like everyone else.

" Bade tumbas nopo , mayu ?" (What do you want to buy, beautiful ? ) ask the middle-aged woman in charge of serving the buyers .

" I want to buy this, this and this ," replied Aulia while pointing at the food she wanted.

" So much , cah ayu, " (shortly yes , beautiful ) replied the woman while taking orders Aulia .

" No," replied Aulia who understood the woman's words a little .

The woman took some of the food that Aulia had pointed out earlier . When he finished he gave it to Aulia.

" Mango!" (please!)

" Thank you ."

After Aulia's order was completed, it was Lily and Rangga's turn to wait for her order. Aulia patiently waited for them, even though her saliva was almost dripping .

While waiting for her parents, Aulia was looking for a place they could use .

" Where are we sitting ?" asked Lily who was standing next to Aulia.

" Tuh .. there is an empty place," pointed Aulia on the empty chair in the corner of the room.

They also walked to the empty seat appointed by Aulia . Aulia ordered gudeg rice plus balado eggs and fern vegetables . Same with Rangga and Aulia . All three of them have the same taste for food.

" It's also delicious .. not less the same food you've bought at restaurants," Rangga said as soon as he finished feeding food into his mouth.

" Papa is right .. according to mama even more delicious this one," said Lily confirmed Rangga's speech . Because both are always both wherever they go .

Aulia only heard without commenting. Her stomach was very hungry, and this food was very tasty in her opinion.

After the food was gone they returned to the contract. In Aul's hands there are a variety of foods that he will eat when hungry .

Rangga and Lily could not accompany Aulia any longer because there was already a call from her men. There are customers from abroad who want direct service from them. For that, inevitably, they had to leave Aulia alone in the contract.

Aulia who was busy watching television interrupted the sound of a bell that sounded . She immediately fixed her revealing clothes while rolling on the carpet .

When she saw the guest before her, Aulia felt confused. The feeling he didn't know her but why did this person visit his contract?

" Assalamualaikum.." said a young woman wearing a pink hijab while smilingly looking at her .

" Find my name Arini. I live beside this house" the woman replied as she extended her hand.

dert

For some reason when he welcomed the woman's helping hand, Aulia's hand felt electrocuted . Aulia's reflexes pulled her hand. The woman was shocked . Aulia so not feeling good herself .

" I'm sorry .. My hands are tingling," Aulia said as if giving an answer to her behavior.

" No problem, can I go inside?"

" Of course .. but sorry if the place is a bit messy."

" Just relax, my place is also messier."

Aulia brought her guest sitting in the living room . Then he took the drink he had bought at once with his snack .

" I'm sorry there's only this" said Aulia awkwardly .

" No problem .. shouldn't bother anyway , Arin so bad deh ."

Hearing Arini's expression only made Aulia smile.

" A real arin here ?" ask Aulia .

" Yes ... happens to belong to my mother, this house belongs to my mother" answered Arini honestly .

" Oalah .. So Arin is the daughter of the landlord?"

" It's true. Mom said there was a contract next to the house and we were that age . So I'm just asking for acquaintance ."

" so it .. pantesan. Seneng really finally Aul had acquaintances also in this foreign place ."

" Aul has never been here ?"

" Never at all and only last night did aul arrive ."

" Where are Aul's parents now ?"

" It's back to Jakarta ."

" Ooo ... So Aul himself dong here?"

" Yes, how else . Does Arin want Aul's company?"

" No thanks . Part of our house is also not far away, even ," said Arini refused Aul's request . Though Aul is also only original, because he also does not know the same Arini.

Afternoon Aul accompanied by Arini with a conversation. Aul takes Arini to the family room. They talk while watching television channels.

Arini came home when she heard her mother's voice calling her name. Not only that, the voice of the Maghreb echoed from all directions.

After Arini returned home, Aul locked all the doors . Because he is not used to living in a place where his supervision is lacking . Or you could say he should be able to take care of himself . For this reason, he must have an umbrella ready before it rains.

Aul performed Maghrib prayers in his room. After the prayer he also took the time to read the Quran. Although there are still many less than perfect readings. He was determined to learn again . Looks like he knows who he's going to learn to teach.
