Love Ameena
He Turns Out to be a Good Man
Ameena seemed surprised to find the person who accidentally hit her just now was the man who was on a plane with her and made her uncomfortable with the man who seemed to not believe that they could meet again. Ameena hurriedly left the man but the man instead chased after Ameena and held her hand, Ameena hurriedly tried to remove her hand from the man's grip but the man was unwilling to do so.
“Let go of me!”
“I'm not a bad person, why should you run away from me?”
“Let go of me!”
The man finally released the grip of his hand on Ameena and he apologized that it had frightened Ameena, he explained that he was not a bad person but Ameena did not believe that let alone this country that was foreign to him, she could not just trust strangers.
“What's your name?”
But Ameena did not answer the man's question and chose to leave the man, apparently the man still followed where Ameena went and tried to ask where Ameena would go now.
“Hey, why are you wearing such a head covering?”
Ameena, astonished by the question asked by the man, turned to him and pointed at the hijab he was wearing and the man nodded his head. Ameena explained that she was wearing this
he was a Muslim and asked if Ameena was from the Middle East.
“Not, I am not from there, I am from Indonesia.”
“Indonesia?”
“Bali? Know right?”
“Ah, Bali! Who in the world does not know Bali, I went to Bali a few months ago, you are from Bali?”
“Not, Bali is part of Indonesia as long as you know.”
“Really?”
Ameena then showed on the map where Indonesia is located and where Bali is, the foreign man seemed surprised when he knew Bali was part of Indonesia and Indonesia was a vast country.
“Now understand right?”

Luluk tried to talk from heart to heart with Boy so that his son would come with him back home but Boy still did not want to go home with Luluk, he said that his father had kicked him out
home and there is no way he will return after being expelled.
“Your father said it was because of the khilaf, Boy. Papa didn't mean it that way.”
“Papa isn't like that? Are you sure Papa isn't like that? Mama has been living with Papa for more than 30 years, surely Mama knows what kind of character Papa, right?”
Luluk sighed and clasped Boy's hand, completely apologizing for what her husband had told Boy and asking Boy to come home with him but Boy stayed on his decision.
“Papa has kicked me out and I also have no intention of returning to that house forever.”
“Do you have no pity on Mama, Son? After Salsabila passed away, you were Mama's only child.”
“It wasn't me who wanted all this, Ma. Sorry I have to get back to work.”
Boy then left Luluk who seemed so sad to get a refusal from Boy to come with him back home, Luluk seemed unable to stem his tears and let his tears
to spill a while before he finally decided to leave this restaurant.

Cassandra comes to the house hoping she can meet Boy at dinner tonight just when she gets there, instead he got information from Luluk about Boy who had been expelled from this house.
“What does Aunt mean that Boy has been kicked out?”
“Then where now Boy, Auntie? Is he okay now?”
“Yes, he is now fine.”
Cassandra apparently asked Luluk to tell her where Boy was and Luluk told the woman where Boy was working now, after getting the information Cassandra went straight to the restaurant
where Boy worked and when he got there, right away he met with Boy who was recording orders of customers who came. Boy seemed surprised when he found the woman in the restaurant, he hurried
avoiding the woman but Cassandra who had seen it first would of course not let go of it just like that.
“Boy wait a minute, I want to talk to you.”
“I'm working now, don't you see?”
“Then I will wait until you finish working.”
Boy said nothing and then left Cassandra indifferently, while the time was seen sitting on a chair and literally waiting until Boy finished work.
****
At first Boy thought that Cassandra was going to leave but he was wrong, the woman was really waiting for him to finish work and of course after Boy had changed clothes and prepared to go home, the woman
immediately ran up to him.
“You know I work here from mama right?”
“Yes, he told me you work here.”
“What do you want to talk about? I don't have much time now.”
“I know that, I've heard everything from your mama and I'm sorry about what happened to you.”
“That's it?”
“Boy, if you want, I can give you a much better job than here, you can work in my papaku company.”
“Sorry, but I'm really not interested in it, I work here because my desire is not by force, anyway I feel like working here.”
“That's right, Boy?”
“Why? You don't believe it? It's up to.”
Boy is about to leave but Cassandra holds his hand, Cassandra says she wants to know where Boy lives but Boy does not want to tell her where he lives and just leaves
Cassandra still wants to know where she lives now.
“Alright, I'll know where you live, Boy.”
Cassandra gets into her car and follows Boy where he goes, hoping not to lose track of him so she can know where Boy lives.

Apparently the man who met Ameena was not a bad man, he was a British citizen who happened to work in Norway and at that time he was on vacation in Dubai and was about to return to this country. Her name
Travis and he seemed very interested in Islam after Ameena said that she was a Muslim, Travis asked a lot about the teachings of Islam and his views on a number of immigrants from middle eastern countries who often act in Europe.
“Ameena, are you married?”
“What?”
