Episode 10: the:

Impatiently, Alina who was already at the door was pressing the doorbell of Ferdi's house, and before long an adult woman opened her door and immediately smiled at him. He looks younger than Mr. Ferdi.

" Asalamualaikum!" Say hello Alina.

" Waalaikumsalam, with whom?" Ask the woman.

" I'm Alina's daughter, sir Ferdi's no ma'am?"

" Oh, you're Alina's name, huh? Please enter first Alina, Her Ferdi mas is still in the office, soon to go home." He then pulled Alina's hand and invited her in. He treated Alina kindly and seemed pleased with Alina's arrival. He then invited Alina to sit on the sofa.

" Siti Bik! bik." The woman in a loud voice called her maid in the kitchen, which happened to be the distance of the kitchen and the living room was very far away, so I needed a loud voice to call her.

Before long the maid came and stood politely in front of the woman.

" Bik please bring drinking water as a snack for our guests, keep telling Mang Didin to bring his suitcase to the guest room!" The woman's orders. The middle-aged woman nodded as well. After that he turned to Alina and asked her many things.

" Oh yes, I know the name of Aunt Indria. His aunt's sister Mas Ferdi." Clearly her. Alina just smiled awkwardly then nodded.

" Said Mas Ferdi, you will leave tomorrow morning, so tonight you are not here yet papa right?" Ask Indria.

" No papa, ma'am, uh aunt. I don't mind." Alina said as decently as possible.

I don't know what, Indria suddenly laughed. Of course Alina was astonished.

" Bene said mas Ferdi. You're too stiff to know. I've just chilled it with Auntie, Auntie the guy didn't bite. Aunty doesn't like it too serious!." Say it while chuckling. Alina was also grinning.

" I'm just trying to be polite to older people, Auntie, this is also my true nature. Sorry to make Aunt uncomfortable." Alina said unkindly.

" Geez Alina, Alina!! Seriously, auntie's just kidding." He also chuckled back.

This time Indria looked serious, she clasped Alina's hand and stared deeply.

" Dengerin ya! Auntie likes your polite attitude. Nowadays, rarely are there young people who are still as polite and kind as you." Puji Indria's. Honestly Alina was embarrassed at being praised like that. He bowed down to hide his face, nothing, he just felt unworthy of being praised. He felt there was a lot of lack for it.

" Aunty praised me too much, I'm not that good." His speech is low.

" Aunty said what it is, if not, where maybe Aisyah nyeritain mbak you to all her. She knows you." Reveal it honestly.

" Thank God that Aisyah's mother likes me, I hope I don't disappoint her later." Answer Alina. Indria was more and more amazed by Alina's calm and polite nature.

They talk to each other, various stories decorate their chat. Like Aisyah, Indria was very quickly familiar to Alina. Although Alina is very polite and always keeps her words, but she is very quickly familiar to anyone, because she is very good at being a great listener, besides that their conversations connect with each other.

Until it was not felt, Ferdi had also returned from his office. He was very happy and surprised by Alina's arrival at his house. It's nothing, he has promised to pick up Alina, now Alina instead to his house alone.

" Alina who are you here with? How come you didn't call me first? Are you okay on the road? Or are you here with your parents?" Various series of questions asked Ferdi, until Alina herself confused to answer which one used to be. Indria just chuckled to see the brother who was so possessive.

" Oh sir, which one should I answer to?" Alina scratched her non-itchy head. Ferdi realized his mistake and immediately

Clapping his forehead, after which he also sat beside Indria.

Alina understood, she smiled at Ferdi.

\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*

That morning, after finishing bathing, dressing, and performing prayers, Alina looked at her face in the mirror. I don't know why that morning Alina wanted to observe her face.

' like this face has to be closed. Because of this face, many bring slander. As a Muslim, should I also close my law? Doesn't this face also include aurat!? ' his monologue. Alina had the intention and desire to cover her face or veil, but her heart was not firm. Now he has established his heart to berniqab. One of them, so that he is kept away from vile slander.

Today Alina and Ferdi left early in the morning. Therefore, Alina had already prepared from earlier. He also helped the kitchen maids prepare breakfast.

" Bi!" Call Indria to one of the maids, when she just came out of her room.

The maid approached.

" Yes, what's wrong?."

" When did Ferdi recruit new helpers? How I don't know." Ask her.

" Who does the madam mean the new maid? As far as I know Mr. Ferdi does not add any new helpers." Ask the maid, astonished.

" That's the one with the veil, that's the new maid in this house right?" Pointing towards Alina who was arranging the food.

" Oalah, that's what the lady meant? It's not her new maid, but it's Alina." Obviously the maid. Indria was flabbergasted to hear her maid's confession.

" I,,, _ is that Alina?" Her question still couldn't believe it.

The maid nodded steadily as her answer.

" OIL!!" Call Indria out loud. Actually, he just wanted to test the truth. And sure enough, the veiled woman also turned to Indria.

" Are you really Alina?" Indria asked once again to confirm her truth.

" Oh yes Aunt. Assalamualaikum Aunt Indria, good morning!" Greet Alina kindly.

" Wa_waalaikumsalam. God, you are more beautiful wearing a veil like this." Puji Indria's.

" God, Thank God, thank you Aunt for the compliment, Auntie is also very beautiful." Alina praised him back.

" It could be you. Alina, how are you in the kitchen? There's all these maids, you're a guest here." Indria Protests. He began to sit in his chair to immediately begin his morning routine, which was breakfast.

" It's okay Auntie, Alina does her singing, at home also usually Alina cooks, so Alina can't sit on them alone." Bela Alina's.

" Yes that's it. Here you sit down first, let the rest of the helpers settle down." Indria's orders, he

patting the seat next to her. Alina nodded obediently and immediately sat down beside Indria.

After that, Ferdi soon followed. As with Indria, he was also very surprised by the arrival of the person who according to him was very foreign, even the stranger was already sitting at the dining table with them.

Looking at Ferdi who looked confused, Indria explained and said that it was Alina. At first he felt surprised by Alina who suddenly decided to make a veil, but Alina also explained that she had been determined for a long time to make a veil. This made Ferdi even more amazed by this teenage girl.
