Loving You in Prayer
The Part 26
This morning Alfina did not go to the campus because she had asked permission for leave before her wedding day with Alfan. Alfina then headed to the kitchen to help Mother Nila and aunt who was cooking breakfast. He made the best use of his time during the orphanage because in a few days he will hold a marriage contract with his lecturer. Alfina still did not expect that she would become a wife.
"Assalamualaikum mother, auntie". Greetings Alfina when entering the kitchen
"Waalaikumussalam son". Reply mother Nila and aunt bebaregan
"Dear you're healthy, right, son?". Ask Nila to Alfina
"Alhamdulillah healthy mother". Answer
"Alhamdulillah you must always take care of your health, son, because in a few days you will get married". Mother Nila said
"In Shaa Allah Alfina will take care of your health". Alfina replied with a smile
"You just sit down to eat so that mother and aunt can cook". Nila's mother's words
"Alfina's here to help mom and aunty cook". Alfina
"Aren't you tired, son?". Said Nila worried
"No mother". Answer Alfina
"Have cut the vegetables, baby, we want to make carrot soup". Mother Nila said
"Good mother". Answer Alfina
Alfina cut the vegetables painstakingly, because basically Alfina is a woman who is good at cooking so she is already an expert in cutting various types of vegetables to be cooked.
"Honey later if you have finished cutting it all washed then put it in the boiling water on the stove, yes, you have prepared you just put the vegetables". Mother Nila said softly
"Yes mother". Answer Alfina
She always learned to cook with Nila's mother if she didn't go to college and didn't work. Because he really likes to deal with the kitchen starting from cooking, baking, making juice and which can certainly produce food or drinks.
"Honey if you are tired of just sitting, mother worried if you are why-why". Mother Nila said
"Alfina always be careful mother, later if Alfina is tired of course Alfina will rest". Reply Alfina calms Mother Nila
"Later if the vegetable soup is ripe you put it grafting, baby, let the mother who brought it to the dining table". Nila's mother's words
"Good mother". Alfina
When she was done helping her mother cook, Alfina approached the sisters of the home who were doing their respective activities in the morning while waiting for breakfast to arrive.
"Assalamualaikum". Greetings Alfina when she saw them in the room that was still preparing
"Waalaikumussalam kak na". Answer them
"Maa Shaa Allah my sisters are preparing to go to school huh?". Alfina asked with a smile
"Yes, we're going to school". Answer one of them with a funny face
"Sir na can put Rara's hijab on?". Rara said to Alfina
"By honey, here". Answer Alfina
Aira or commonly called Rara is a seven-year-old orphanage child who is very close to Alfina. He was so spoiled when there was Alfina near him. Alfina does not blame it because she knows that young children should always be given enough affection and attention.
"Now you all have breakfast before you go to school, breakfast is ready". Alfina Speak
"Yes sister". Answer them
"Let's have breakfast with my sister". Alfina
"Come brother". Answer them enthusiastically
They are happy because today her brother is in the orphanage, because usually in the morning Alfina had left for campus when they were preparing and when the night they were on break when Alfina had just returned from work. They were grateful that her brother was around them as he was now.
"Assalamualaikum mother father". Greetings them when they see Nila's mother and Norman's father who was at the place of eating waiting for them
"Waalaikumussalam darling". Answer them bebaregan
"Here I want to sit in each place neatly?". Nila's mother's words
"Yes mother". Answer them
Mother Nila and Alfina were the ones who took them food on their sides so that they could eat it immediately after they finished praying.
"Yes mother". Answer them compact
After praying they ate their breakfast quietly and without anyone talking. When they have finished eating their food they will leave to go to their respective schools.
"Mother, father, sister and we go to school first huh?". Said the daughter one of them
"Yes baby". Reply to Nila and Alfina
"Yes, be careful". Continue Norman's father
After they left for school, Alfina now helps mother and aunt to wash dishes and wash the equipment used for cooking earlier so that it is faster to finish and can do other things that need to be done. After washing the dishes later Alfina will help auntie to clean the parlour yard.

At Laila's umi house there is Alfan who is finishing his work while abi Lukman has left for his office because of a sudden affair. Alfan deliberately did not go to the office or to the campus if there was nothing important, because soon he will have a marriage with Alfina. So as much as possible he should maintain his health well and not too tired in working at home.
"Fan drink first baby, if tired soon rest yes son". Umi said Laila while giving a glass of cold water to Alfan
"Good umi". He answered while drinking the water
"Nak later if you need something to say the same umi yes, umi is behind to make a cake with aunt". Umi Laila's
"Yes umi, umi also do not be too tired later umi can be sick". Alfan
"Yes dear umi just want to make your favorite brownie cake so that this umi son is always excited in living his days". Umi Laila said
"Later if you're married ask to be made in his brownies cake with your wife, baby. Because Alfina is very good at kitchen affairs, later let me give you the same recipe as your future wife". Continue Umi Laila while smiling ignorantly at Alfan
"Yes umi". Answer Alfan slowly
After generally going to the kitchen he continued his work so that later he could enjoy his wedding holiday without thinking about work that could make him not calm. He will take advantage of his leave along with his wife later to vacation on the island of Bali.
"Well do you know that the man who will marry you is the friend you used to call Kak Al?". Alfan said in his heart
In the midst of completing his work Alfan again remembered the most beautiful moment with Alfina when they were children.
The flashback
At that time they were visiting the night market in the city square together with their parents. Because Alfan and Alfina's parents were very close friends and were like brothers. So when everywhere they always together like this.
"Sister Al we ride that huh?". Alfina spoke enthusiastically as she pointed at the beautifully twisting reanglala
"Are you brave?". Alfan asked Alfina
"How dare there be a brother Al who takes care of nana". Her speech was plain while staring at Alfan
Alfan smiles at the little girl who always makes her days so colorful because Alfan knows she is an only child and has no siblings. She loved Alfina very much.
"Yaudah come". Alfan replied while holding Alfina's hand
"Abi umi Alfan wants to ride with Nana". Prattling
"Would I take you there?". Ask umi Laila
Alfan shook his head "Alfan brave umi". Answer
"Yasah abi umi and father mother wait here yes, if it is done directly here do not go anywhere". Umi said Laila commemorates her son
"Yes umi". Answer them bebaregan
After arriving at the game rides, Alfan and Alfina immediately entered the ring over the instructions of the guard. They both so enjoy the beauty of the night from the top of the ring.
"Sir Al thank you for accompanying Nana on this reanglala". Said little Alfina while holding onto Alfan's hand
"Together". Reply Alfan while shuffling Alfina's hair
"Kak Al must promise Nana that Kak Al must always be with Nana until he grows up". Alfina's speech is funny
Alfan who was anxious with Alfina's behavior and speech then stroked Alfina's cheeks gently. Because little Alfina was always adorable in her eyes.
"Nana loves Al". Said Alfina while hugging Alfan tightly which was immediately reciprocated by Alfan
Flashback off
Alfan smiled when he remembered Alfina who was so adorable in his opinion. It has never changed since before. He was very grateful because God had predestined himself with Alfina to be a future husband and wife who will soon hold a sacred marriage contract. Alfan hoped the show would run smoothly without any obstacles.
