Loving You in Prayer
The Part 11
After finishing the Maghrib prayer along with Umi Laila, Alfina rushed back to the kitchen to pour the meat rendang that was still on the stove to be moved into the container and put it on the dining table.
Now all the food has been presented on the dining table neatly, just waiting for two men who have not returned from work. Maybe now still on the way home because usually the two people will return home after the Maghrib prayer.
"Honey sitting here, son next to Umi, we wait for husband and son Umi to come home, huh?". Umi Laila said
"Yes umi". Answer Alfina
After fifteen minutes of waiting, the two men finally reached home with faces that looked tired. Yes the man was abi Lukman the husband of umi Laila and also Alfan who was their only son.
"Where's Alfan bi, he's not coming home?". Umi asked Laila to her husband with an anxious face
While Alfina who heard umi Laila mention the name Alfan suddenly he was shocked and again remembered by one of the names of his lecturers in the campus. But Alfina immediately brushed off his memory. No way, inner Alfina
"He came home with abi, now he has gone up first to clean the body before meeting with umi". Obviously abi Lukman is soft
"Oh thank goodness". Umi Laila's
"He who is umi?". Abi Lukman asked when he saw a girl sitting next to his wife
"Oh yes abi, this is what you told me yesterday abi. She is Alfina, the girl who yesterday nolongin and sent umi home when umi was not feeling well. Darling knows this kid's husband umi his name is abi Lukman". Terang Umi Laila while introducing Alfina to her husband
"Yes, meet Alfina om". Say it politely while cupping both hands in front of the chest
"Yes son, I'm her husband umi Laila. You can just call me abi?". Abi Lukman told Alfina
"Well om - uh max a - abi". Alfina replied awkwardly
All three have sat at the dining table while waiting for the arrival of one man who is the only child in this family. Umi Laila and abi Lukman chatted lightly with Alfina. They will start dinner when the family members are complete. It became routine for them.
Soon someone walked up to their table, and that person was Alfan. A boy from the Umi Laila and abi Lukman. Alfan walked toward his uminya for salim and kissed his umyad cheeks briefly.
"Sorry umi abi is waiting for Alfan daritadi". Prattling
"It's okay, baby". Answer umi Laila
Alfina who had lowered her head was now looking up when someone who was waiting with Umi Laila and abi Lukman had come to the dining table.
Deg ...
Alfina was shocked and shocked when her neutrals met eyes with Alfan's neutrals. Likewise with Alfan who was shocked when there was one of his students who was at home umi his brother.
"Is it possible that Mr. Alfan is the son of umi and abi?". Ask Alfina in your heart
"Honey to know son, this is the only son of umi and abi. Name's Alfan". Laila's Umi speech to Alfina
"I - yes umi". Reply Alfina stammeredly
"Alfan knows son, this is Alfina who yesterday was able to tell me about you in the back yard. She is a girl who has helped and delivered Umi home when umi is not feeling well after shopping". The light of Laila's umi on Alfan
Alfan was again shocked when he finally explained it, it turns out that the one who helped him was his own student. Meaning, what the student said was right, he was late because he had to help someone and someone was uminya. Thought Alfan.
Alfan nodded "yes umi, she is Alfan's student". Replied Alfan while glancing briefly at Alfina
"Maa Syaa Allah is really son, means umi's son is your lecturer, dear?". Umi Laila asked excitedly as she looked at Alfina
Alfina nodded as she said "yes umi, sir Alfan the lecturer Alfina is on the campus". Alfina replied while looking down
"Means you already know each other, oh yes Alfina's son is a woman who wants to introduce you to you. It turns out you already know". Umi Laila to Alfan
Alfan had guessed that this student was what he would generally introduce to him. At first it was a bit surprising but Alfan could condition well the maxut of uminya it.
"Yes umi". Reply Alfan briefly
"We've had dinner, we'll talk later". Abi Lukman
"Yes bi". Answer umi Laila
The four of them began their dinner solemnly, until the voice of the Umi returned to their silence.
"That fan who cooked your favorite meat rendang Alfina you know, how does it feel dear? Aren't you?". Umi Laila said
"Enak". Said Alfan leisurely
Uhuk ..
Alfina choked with shock at the lecturer's words.
"You're gapapa, baby?". Umi asked Laila worriedly while giving Alfina a glass of water
"I'm sorry, Alfina gapapa". Alfina replied, then drank the water given by Umi Laila earlier
Alfan looked at Alfina for a moment. Alfina who knew when he was noticed by his lecturer was suddenly nervous and tried to stay ordinary.
"Eat her carefully, baby". Said Umi Laila while stroking Alfina's head covered with her syar'i hijab
"Alfina nodded "yes umi". Answer Alfina
***
After dinner and prayers isya' at the house of Umi Laila now Alfina will ask permission to go home to the family of Umi Laila. Because the time had started late and he had to go back to the home.
"Umi Alfina said to go home first?". Said Alfina politely asking permission from Umi Laila
"Let usher in the same son umi, baby?". Umi Laila's
"Sorry no need umi, Alfina just go home alone is okay". Answer Alfina
"Believe the same umi, umi's son is good. If he messes with you later just say the same umi let umi get angry with him". Umi Laila who understands Alfina's doubts
Alfina felt bad if she refused the request from the Umi Laila. Finally Alfina complied with the request from the Umi Laila so that she was escorted home with one of her lecturers in the campus.
Alfina nodded "Okay umi, Alfina to be ushered home with the son of umi". Answer Alfina subtly
"Alhamdulillah". Reply umi Laila
"Fan please anterin Alfina come home ya". Pinta umi Laila looked at her only son
Alfan called the umi turned to "Ya Umi". Answer
"Alright, umi believes in both of you". Umi Laila said
Finally Alfina returned home delivered by Alfan using his car. Alfina was puzzled that she should sit in front of what was sitting in the back. If sitting in front of him he is afraid because it is too close to Alfan, but if sitting behind he is not polite because Alfan is not the driver but the lecturer.
"If you're uncomfortable, you can sit in the back". Said Alfan who understood Alfina
"It's okay sir?". Ask Alfina
"Nobody forbid you". Alfan
"Front behind is the same". Continue Alfan
Alfina who heard the answer from Alfan chose to sit behind him, because he was afraid that he was too close to the lecturer. He was afraid because he was not mahram. So he better sit in the back.
"I'm sitting in the back, sir". Alfina
"Hm". Alfan's response then opened the steering door
On the way the two of them were silent, no one opened up a chat. Until Alfan's voice was heard making Alfina look ahead who had been watching the road from the side car window.
"So you were the one who drove me home?". Said Alfan flat
"Yes sir, I drove Umi Laila home because at that time Imi Laila had a dizzy head and her face was pale". Alfina replied while looking down
"I'm sorry if I used to scold you". Alfan
"It's okay sir, I was wrong then too". Reply Alfina
"Thank you". Alfan
Alfina smiled "Sama-sama sir".
Alfina again looked at the car window beside her to cover her nervousness when she was with this lecturer. Alfina also just learned that Umi Laila has one adult son who is now one of her lecturers in the campus.
"I'm down in front of the alley, sir". Alfina Speak
"I'll take you to your destination, this is at my umi's request". Answer Alfan
"Good sir". Reply Alfina
Alfina did not dare to refute the request from her lecturer. He was too afraid and hesitant to turn back.
"Show me your house". Alfan said briefly
Alfina nodded "In front there is a white fence sir, please stop there". Alfina said politely
"Please if Mr. Alfan wants to stop by first?". Said Alfina while looking down
"Yes". Answer Alfan briefly
Alfan saw that the house in question was an orphanage that he often visited with his parents.
"Does the student live here"?. Ask Alfan in your heart
Alfan who was curious then asked Alfina who had gone down and stood beside her car.
"You live here?". Ask Alfan flat
"Yes sir, I live here in the orphanage of your mother's love". Alfina replied without looking at Alfan
"Assynoga". Greetings Alfina when entering the parlor
"Waalaikumussalam darling". Answer mother Nila
Alfina immediately extended her hand to Nila's mother for salim while Alfan only cupped his hands in front of her chest.
"Son Alfan?". Mother Nila said
"Yes my mom Alfan Alfina's lecturer". Obviously Alfan
"Please sit down, son". Pinta mama Nila
Mother Nila, Alfina, and Alfan finally sat in the living room chair that was inside the parlour.
"Mother know Mr Alfan?". Ask Alfina curiously
Alfan who heard Alfina call Miss Nila as mother again thought, is Miss Nila her parents? Because Alfan Bu Nila did not have a child. She was the one who continued this home since both her parents died.
"Honey son Alfan this is one of the philanthropists who every month come here to help us in managing this orphanage. He also met the needs of the younger brothers in this place". Definitely mother Nila
Alfina was of course surprised by Ms. Nila's explanation, she did not expect that this lecturer was a good and generous person. Behind his cold and flat attitude he is so nurturing and loving orphan who is in this waiting.
"Maa Shaa Allah". Lirih Alfina's
