Episode 11: the:
After saying goodbye to Indria, at seven this morning Alina and Ferdi had already left for China, and now at around seven in the evening, they had arrived in the Chinese city safely.
Ferdi called his private driver to pick him up at the airport, and the driver arrived shortly. Those who are very tired because of the long journey can not wait to quickly arrive.
" Asalamualaikum!" Ferdi said when he was inside the door of the very luxurious house. Alina alone was stunned by the interior of the house that looks extraordinary. Even very far when compared with the luxury of Ferdi's house in Indonesia.
" Good night, sir." Answer a housekeeper who looks young, can be said to be the same age as Alina.
" O you, I think my wife opened the door." Ferdi.
" Mistress is out sir."
" where? How come he didn't tell me first?" Ferdi asked astonished by the unusual nature of his wife.
" I don't know sir, yonya didn't tell me where she was going." Hearing that, Ferdi's face turned red. It's like holding back emotions. Alina saw that, but because she did not understand what the housekeeper and Ferdi were talking about, she dropped her intention to ask. They use a language that Alina does not understand.
Ferdi realized that he was with Alina now. It is not good to express emotions in front of guests. He also tried to suppress his emotions.
" Come on in! My wife's not home, maybe she's having a little business." Ferdi said as if covering something up. Alina nodded and followed Ferdi to enter her house.
The maid was seen watching Alina from top to bottom, she felt astonished. Maybe by her dress, or whatever, Alina did not bother, maybe because they were not used to seeing the way clothes like her.
" Sit down, son! while waiting for the maid to clean up your room." Ferdi. Alina nodded back and obeyed. But when Ferdi was about to move, out of nowhere, Alina called Ferdi.
" I'm sorry sir, can I ask you something?." Ask Alina. Ferdi put down his intention and turned to look at Alina, nodding and smiling.
" Could you ask what?"
" But before I apologize, instead of me meddling in the affairs of the father, what did the father and mother talk about, so that the father looks very angry?" He bit his lip after asking that, though it was invisible because it was covered by a veil.
" It's nothing Alina, I'm just tired." Answer her. Suddenly his tone of speech and the look on his face turned flat. But that doesn't make Alina shrink.
" Sir, if there is someone who says something about the father's wife, and it is contrary to the original nature of Ms. Aisyah, then you must first find out the truth. It's not my intention for suuzon, it's just that a bond in the household that there must be mutual trust." He said, as if he knew what Ferdi was thinking. Ferdi's heart seemed to be slapped with Alina's words. Alina also realized her mistake, she cursed her sassy self, and many times she also said Istighfar in her heart.
" I'm sorry sir, I didn't mean to patronize you." Her mistake. He felt bad for Ferdi.
" No Alina. You're not wrong, instead I feel grateful to you for reminding me of something." Ferdi then pulled out his cell phone that was behind his jacket. He checks his phone for several calls and a chet on the green app, which turns out to be all from his wife.
" Athaghfirullahhalazim, even I forgot to check my phone. Oh my God,,, I've been so bad to my own wife." He threw his body on the sofa. Rubbing her face because she feels frustrated.
" What's wrong, sir." Ask Alina curiously.
" It turned out that Aisyah had contacted me repeatedly, and sent me a message that she was on the spur of the moment, requiring her to come to the restaurant this evening. Oh my God, because I was too tired, I forgot to check the heanpone." His words feel guilty.
" restaurant?. Why is it, sir?" Ask Alina.
" There was one of the employees who was exposed to hot water, because Aisyah was the owner of the restaurant, then she was the one who had to take responsibility for what befell the employees." Ferdi explained in detail.
While from a distance, there was someone who was feeling annoyed because his plan did not work. He stomped his feet, and then left.
Aisha soon returned home. The native Chinese woman looks very beautiful with a maroon-colored robe and hijab with matching colors. He seemed to smile as well as feel astonished by the veiled woman in front of him. Because before, when she and Alina made a video call, Alina did not use a veil, only using a hijab.
" Yes!" She glanced at Alina, after which turned to her husband. She seemed to ask for an explanation to her husband, who was the girl who was with her husband.
As if understanding, Ferdi explained and said that the one with him was Alina.
No different from Indria and Ferdi, Aisyah was shocked. He also felt amazed and amazed by the appearance of Alina, which made Alina more beautiful many times after wearing a veil.
Shortly after they had a conversation, not to forget Ferdi also apologized because he had been bad to his wife. Aisyah was not angry, she welcomed her husband with tenderness.
After finishing dinner, Aisyah drove Alina to show her room. Alina was again amazed by the room she would occupy, one sentence, 'extraordinary luxury' with the feel of the all-blue room.
Alina also felt grateful that the Ferdi family treated her well in that house.
Not to forget after arriving, Alina also various news with her family.
*********
That morning, Ferdi had to return to Indonesia that day, because Indria told him that her mother was back in the hospital.
Aisyah plans to enroll Alina in a new school in the country. Aisyah also invites Alina to come with her, because she will also invite Alina to buy school supplies and some clothes for Alina.
At first Alina refused because she was not feeling well, but because Aisyah forced her in various ways, she was forced to accept it.
" Lina, you wait for mom here first huh! I'm going to the toilet for a minute." Aisyah said as they were in the shopping mall.
" Yes ma'am, no papa." Aisyah also fulfilled her wish and left Alina alone. Suddenly a black-masked young man hit him from behind, making Alina fall to the floor.
The young man was not alone, he was with a friend of his.
The young man apologized in Chinese and was about to extend his hand to help Alina stand up. Of course Alina refused politely, she cupped her hands together and said that they were not muhrim.
The man was only flabbergasted by the language Alina spoke. Of course because he didn't understand the language Alina used.
" I'm sorry, lady, my friend accidentally, is Miss okay? Is anyone hurt?" Ask the guy who hit her. Alina did not expect, it turned out that the man's friend could speak Indonesian very fluently.
" It's okay, and I'm fine." Answer Alina. While the man who hit him looked at Alina without blinking. Their views briefly met, but Alina quickly subdued her gaze.
A strange feeling spread throughout his body, like there was a flow of electricity when their sight met. Alina also felt familiar with those eyes. It felt like he had seen it before. But before he thought any further, quickly Alina dispelled the thought by saying Istighfar.
" THAT'S IT!!!" Excited one of the young women who was in a group of other young women. It was as if they were running towards the man who hit him earlier.
Quickly the man's friend pulled his hand and ran.
Alina could only be dumbfounded with a thousand questions in her mind.
