Islam Learning Fasting
44. Shadow

"Don't miss!" whispered and then walked away.

Khadijah now shook his head, the man named Islam was very chatty.

The sound of laughter was heard in the back there made Khadijah look at Umma Nur, Ustazah Fitri and some women who were cooking was seen laughing out loud because Islam was unceasingly joking.

Khadijah returned to his initial position of stirring kale stir fry. Slowly Khadijah smiled behind his veil.

To be honest, he had never seen them all laugh like this. Usually the kitchen feels quiet and quiet, which is heard only the sound of busy cooking. But now it's different, there's laughter and smiles here.

Khadijah turned back.

"Do you agree that Umma is beautiful?" Show Islam towards women who are busy cooking even though their eyes are focused on Islam.

Everyone laughed again when Islam demonstrated the behavior of Umma Nur when he was embarrassed.

"Umma isn't like that, hahaha." Umma Nur laughed and slapped Islam on the shoulder.

Islam brings happiness to those who realize it.

...***...

Islam stepped out while carrying a container of cooked fish that had been cooked by Ustazah Fitri, Akbir's wife. Islam poured the fish into a container that was at the serving table made the students and some of the oustad in the dining room was staring strangely.

What is Islam?

"What is Islam doing there?" tanya Akbar who looked confusedly at Islam who looked very busy.

Abah Habib who was waiting for the break of the fast turned to look at Islam who walked to and fro. Islam seems to be busy lifting gallons of water, helping Umma Nur carry glass and arrange them on the table.

Islam seems busy in and out of the kitchen carrying food that has been cooked.

Abah Habib smiled.

"It seems like there's a change after he gets drunk."

Abah Habib laughed and shook his head slowly.

Islam stopped his steps when he met Khadijah who had been at the kitchen door while holding a container containing vegetable stir-fry kale.

"You want to help this too?" bargain Khadija.

Khadijah knows that almost all kitchen work is assisted by Islam. Maybe he also wants to bring this kale vegetable.

"No, I just want to see you pour kale vegetables."

Khadijah shook his head unexpectedly, there was only this man.

Khadijah stepped up and poured the kale vegetables into a container that was on the serving table. Islam followed and stared at Khadijah incessantly.

Khadijah turned around and shocked him after he almost hit the tall body of Islam.

Khadijah quickly stepped back so that he would not touch the body of Islam. Khadijah looked up at the annoyed look at Islam who looked smiling.

"Can Islam not always follow Khadijah?" ask Khadijah.

"Can't," she replied casually while smiling sweetly.

Khadijah shook his head and walked away from Islam who was now smiling.

"That's funny" the Islamic exasperation then went to follow where Khadijah went.

Islam also does not understand why he always wants to disturb the veiled girl. What Islam feels when with the girl is Islam feels close to the figure of the Rose, his Umi.

When he saw the girl, Islam felt comfortable even though he could not touch her.

Khadijah is much different from hundreds of Islamic girlfriends, both in terms of her appearance and attitude.

Islam also does not understand why it seems to be the one who is chasing the veiled girl when what happened before is Islam is being pursued by girls not her who is chasing a girl.

In the same room Rahman was visibly upset after staring at Islam and Khadijah who were seen passing by the door to the kitchen.

Yep, Rahman is jealous. Rahman had a very long time to put his heart to Khadijah which he always wanted in his life.

Rahman wanted Khadijah and did not want anyone else to take him but the man named Islam seemed to be approaching his idol.

This can't be allowed.

...***...

"Correct?"

"Yes dong" answered Islam proudly after recounting what happened today between him and Khadijah.

"Well, how do you go?"

Islam laid his body on the bed and stared at the ceiling of the lower part of the bed that had once been occupied by Christians.

"Well that's it. Khadija is like a very expensive selling point?"

Islam gawking. What does this slanted-feced man mean?

Islam breathed a long breath and smiled back to look at the bottom of the bed above it. The shadow of Khadijah's face covered with a veil was as if it was seen up there.

"What if mabok can make a crazy person?" ask Sarifuddin.

Islam moved his head to look at Sarifuddin along with the lights turned off.

The atmosphere of the room is now dark and only illuminated by the reflection of light on the outside balcony through the entrance gap above the window.

In the darkness of Islam can see the black face of Sarifuddin whose eyes look lit up like buffalo eyes at night.

"Lo crazy lo nyeremin really," said Islam then laughed making Sarifuddin laugh while covering his mouth exactly like a child.

"How's it?"

"What?"

"That's what if a madman? Can you make a crazy person?"

"Not more precisely do not know emmm that's why I don't understand either" he replied.

"Sleep!"

"Sleep!"

"Don't stay up! Remember sahur!!!" shuaib shouted while hitting the bottle with iron

The voice of Shuaib was heard passing in front of the door of the room occupied by Islam and Sarifuddin.

Now Sarifuddin was silent for a few minutes making Islam look at Sarifuddin who looked closed his eyes. Islam can see the face of Sarifuddin clearly because the reflection of light from the outside is right about the face of Sarifuddin .

"Have you slept?" ask Islam.

"No, yet" he answered.

Sarifuddin opened his eyes to look at Islam who was looking at him.

"Islam, Islam just pursue Ukhti Khadijah!"

"Gue's not used to chasing girls."

"I endak tell chasing girls, I tell Ukhti Khadijah," he explained to make Islam blurted his lips with annoyance.

"Well, that's up to you. My inner pressure in the room is the same lo."

Islam turned its back on Sarifuddin who was silent on the back of Islam.

Silence that night made Islam silent. Islam smiled as the shadow of the veiled girl, Khadija flashed through his mind again and again.

Huh, what's wrong with this brain?

"Din!" call Islam.

There's no answer.

"Sarifuddin!" call Islam.

"Emm" said Sarifuddin.

"Gue wants to say something but it's a secret."

"Lo promise well don't tell anyone if I'm talking to you!"

"Actually I don't know who else wants to talk to, the one in this room is just another lo already home."

The mood was silent again.

"I actually like the woman who wears the veil. I like Khadijah, how do you think?" ask Islam.

There's no answer.

"Din!"

Silent.

"Sarifuddin!"

Islam turned around and then smeared his lips annoyed when he saw Sarifuddin who looked already crushed.

Stupidhead!

He spoke his heart and no one heard him.

"Fuck you, Din!" islamic Overestimates.
