Yulian heard Hafizha's whining in front of her room. Curious about what was happening, Yulian sprinted towards the center of the voice to confirm it and was followed by Arumi with Luisa. And when he got there, Yulian looked only at the pity of Hafizha who was clutching Khaira's fingers while shaking Khaira's hand.
”Umi, Izha don't leave again! Hiks .. hiks .. hiks,”
Silent...
All fell silent and looked at Hafizha with pity. Poor ... that's for sure, because before Hafizha could stretch her gaze across the beautiful world, she had to lose her doting mother figure. And I don't know where Khadija is currently no one knows.
Only the author knows where Khadijah is. wkwkwk.
”Yulian,” Inner Khaira.
Khaira saw that there was Yulian looking at her who was still with Hafizha. And that makes Khaira must immediately wipe away the tears that had spilled. Then, Khaira turned to face Hafizha. Gave an understanding to Hafizha that he should really get out of the house.
”Izha darling, sorry if aunt has to go. Don't call aunty Umi! Because aunt Khaira is not her Umi Hafizha.” Khaira rubbed Hafizha's cheek gently.
”Izha .. want aunt Khaira is here. Don't be a pelgi!” hafizha whining.
”Izha ... aunty Khaira still there needs to be taken care of. So, Aunt Khaira has to leave our house first. If you have time, Aunt Khaira will be here to see Izha.” Sela Yulian walked over to Hafizha.
Yulian squatted down and aligned her height with Hafizha, so they looked at each other. Yulian's heart was so crushed to see the tears Hafizha had shed longing for the mother figure accompanying her life. But.what can I do, only Yulian is able to become a mother and father for Hafizha.
Yulian wiped the soft tears that were still coming out from the end of the round eye patch. To reassure Hafizha, Yulian gave a smile behind her chest-stifling sadness.
”Alright, then aunt Khaila can be aggi and Izha will wait here.” a sweet smile has been etched beautifully on the tiny lips of Hafizha who occasionally has as much as she likes.
After that, Yulian rubbed Hafizha's hair gently. Again Yulian gave a smile to encourage Hafizha not to be sad anymore. And that made Khaira moved, her tears just fell.
”I'm sorry, if this short meeting has caused farewell and sorrow to Hafizha. But really ... I do not ..”
”This is not your fault, Khaira. Possibly ... Hafizha only misses the figure of a mother who happens to be the way she dresses just like you. So, you don't have to think about anything.” Sela Yulian who made Khaira's sentence stopped.
”Alright! Then excuse me, assalamu'alaikum.” Khaira again stepped her legs that had stopped.
One step...
Two steps...
”Wait!” peekkik Arumi's.
Instantly Khaira's steps came to a halt after Arumi stopped her. And again Khaira had to turn around, face to face with Arumi who was now behind him. Slowly Khaira raised her face, making sure there was a purpose for what Arumi stopped her. Stopping the move that almost made him free from the house.
”What are you stopping my step?” asked Khaira in a low and polite tone.
”I'm sorry, but I don't mean to stop your steps. I am Arumi, may I know your name?”
”Sorry, what do you need?”
Khaira was still fixated, digesting what Arumi had just thrown. Cooperation? Khaira is still made to not understand, so he throws a question to Arumi to make sure. Similarly to Yulian, he also did not understand what Arumi said.
”What cooperation?”
”What cooperation?”
Simultaneously the sentence of the question came out from the lips of Yulian and Khaira. So that success makes them awkward, stiff and momentarily feel silent. What Khaira had set her sights on was now bowed again because she felt ashamed that a Yulian had asked her the same question.
”Aparticularly this Ya Allah? Don't involve me in this anymore!” inner Khaira.
”Please explain to me, Arumi!”
Finally Yulian's voice had broken the silence that momentarily struck them. Then, Arumi explained slowly to them what the purpose of inviting Khaira to cooperate. Arumi wants Khaira to model in a photo shoot that will be in a few days. However, it was still vague, as Khaira had yet to give any answer to confirm and confirm it.
”If you don't want to, we won't force. Because it's your right, Khaira.”
In Yulian's heart there is hope_Khaira will accept Arumi's offer as a model for a gamis shooting session that will soon be launching in Aisyah Galery in Edinburgh. Even if, able to be accepted by most teenagers, adult women and all women, then Aisyah Galery is guaranteed to be more advanced and rapidly increasing income.
”Sorry in advance, I want to ask you a question, is it okay?” ask Khaira in a polite tone.
” Please!”
”Why did you guys designate me as the model? Didn't ... Ma'am Arumi is also a veiled woman?” a question that really struck Arumi.
”I'm sorry Khaira, I'm not as gentle and graceful as Aisyah. It is true that I veiled, but I could not play the whole soul of a veiled woman who has a very high level of shame. But ... all I return to you, if you don't want .. it's okay.” Those brown eyes are dewy. Slowly Arumi's tears shed and finally wet her veil.
Silent...
For a moment Khaira fell silent, trying to digest every word Arumi said to her. It's hard to give a yes or no answer. Khaira is still worried to decide. Again and again, Khaira throws a question to Arumi that makes Arumi even more sad. At that time, it was difficult to become a Muslim without the presence of Aisha.
”Do not models have to walk crooked and show their curves?”
”I know what you mean, Khaira. But this is not what you imagined. You're quite quiet,”
”Sorry, I can't. I have to go now.”
All jumped in shock with Khaira's reply which was firmly given. Strictly rejecting what Arumi, Yulian and Luisa have put to him. After giving a rejection, Khaira decided to return to continue the steps that had stopped. And when the greeting Khaira lowered his gaze, merely hiding the tears that came out of his eyes.
”What if it's that asking Aisyah? The original owner of Aisyah Galery? Would you like to fulfill his request?” yulian shouted in a loud tone.
”Deg.”
Step back to stop, Khaira's heartbeat seemed to stop. A sense of surprise was evident from the hidden look on his face. And before turning around Khaira wiped her tears away from being seen by Yulian and Arumi, if she was crying.
”What does Yulian like about me? Why did He carry the name of Aisha who had died? Moreover this Yes Allah?” inner Khaira.
