"Assalamu'alaikum!"
A greeting voice jolted Naina's heart which had been racing erratically since a while ago. The face with makeshift makeup looked paled for a while. However, then, there appeared a tinge of red hue on both of his cheeks.
He blushed to himself, outside of which was the voice of someone he was waiting for.
"Wa"
"Wa'alaikumussalaam!" the voice of the aunt followed by her footsteps that approached the door of the house.
The sound of the door creaking added to the thump in Naina's chest. He covered his face in shame, also powerless to resist the turmoil of the heart that is increasingly studded with flowers.
"Son Alfin? Let's enter! Oh my God, what is this?" ask the aunt while opening the door wider so that Alfin can go inside.
"Mom!" greet the young man while greeting his aunt before stepping into the house where his beloved is taking shelter.
"Sit, Son!" aunt's word pointed to the chair that had always looked neat since Naina's arrival to the house.
"Thank you, Mom. Naina is?" No need to ask the truth, because Naina must be in that house. It's just that Alfin was confused to ask what because the figure he was looking for was not visible in front of his eyes.
"Oh, Naina is there. He's in the room, maybe get ready. For a moment, I called, yes," said the aunt who then walked over to Naina's room door.
Wh-tok-tok!
"Nai, there's Nak Alfin looking for you. Get out first, yeah," call aunt after knocking on her niece's bedroom door.
"Yes, Bi. Just stop!" sahut Naina from within. The vibration of his voice jolted Alfin's heart, making his chest pounding violently especially when he saw the appearance of the dream of the heart.
"I stay behind first, Son Alfin," said the aunt to make him a drink as well as call Asep.
"Sir, there's Alfin in front. Gih, temenin. I want to make tea first" the aunt told her husband.
Naina's uncle hastily finished his meal, washed his hands and changed his clothes.
While in the room, Naina holds the left chest that does not want to slow down the race. Sighing in order to unravel the tightness of nervousness coming ambush. He cheered himself up, glanced at the appearance before exiting and slowly opened the door.
Naina let out her head slightly, checking the state of the front of her room. What he didn't know, Alfin kept staring at the door. She smiled when Naina found her.
The girl blushed in embarrassment, her heart racing. Get out quietly, closing the door almost without a sound. Then sit opposite to the heart. His head continued to bow, too embarrassed to meet the shady bead in front of him.
Alfin who saw Naina wearing a robe then blushed, looking away at the outside of the house where several children were running around chasing each other.
"You ... are you ready?" alfin asked suddenly nervously making him stutter a little.
Naina sighed, normalizing the state of her beating heart.
"God willing, ready" he said.
"God, Son of Alfin! Sorry, I was in the back."
Uncle came to melt the atmosphere. The two of them shook hands without hesitation, looking familiar.
The middle-aged man nodded his head in understanding. He glanced at Naina who had been continuously bowed since coming out of her room.
"Sorry, Alfin boy. I want to ask you as a man. Is Alfin serious about my nephew? It's nothing, he doesn't have anyone in the world but me and my wife. Later if you get married, the responsibility of guarding and protecting Naina moves into the hands of Nak Alfin." Uncle was feeling uneasy because Naina no longer had anyone.
At least, if he has a loving husband who is also responsible for him they will calmly leave him in this world.
Alfin smiled, glancing at Naina in silence. He understood the purpose of his uncle asking him this.
"God willing, Mang. I am seriously getting married to Naina. If you can not be long, want to be soon, but back again with Naina. I also can not mean Naina to rush to get married" said Alfin handed the decision to the idol.
Uncle nodded again, now all the decisions are in the hands of the girl. If he thinks getting married sooner is better. However, they did not want to impose their wishes on him.
Naina sighed, deep down she also wanted to get married. Only, what made him still hesitant to give a decision now was the response of Alfin's parents that he could not guess.
"Maybe not now, Uncle. Nai needs to pray istikharah for our common good. Nai also actually did not want to for long, but there are things that still make Nai can not decide," said the girl who understood the two men.
Alfin knew what Naina was thinking. His shady gaze calmed Naina's heart as she stared at him. It's okay for him, no matter what happens he will still defend Naina.
"Yes, fearing that you should leave now" Asep said after the conversation with them.
"Lho, what, hurry? This is just a new drink coming," said the newly arrived aunt while carrying a tray in hand.
"This, Ma. Alfin's parents wanted to meet Naina and her extended family as well" Asep told his wife.
"Oh, that. Yes, that's it, mending to leave now just afraid of the night."
Asep snorted, he had just said that. Alfin and Naina held back a laugh due to the two middle-aged's mannerisms.
"Yes, I'll take Naina home first. God willing I will return it," said Alfin while standing from sitting.
"Lho, yes it should be repatriated. Except tonight you langung ijab kabul same penghulu. Only then can you tie him up at home," Asep joked Alfin's joke.
Everyone was chuckling, warm and harmonious. If I may ask, Naina does not want to lose that moment. They were both saying goodbye, ushered the two middle-aged to the exit of the alley. Alfin was driving a car, and parked at the mouth of a roadside alley.
The night mood is still crowded. The young people sat lined up by the side of the road. The old men at the kamling post gathered for a night patrol. Alfin's car drove at medium speed, joining the other riders.
Sumiyati and Asep returned home after confirming their car had disappeared. Hope in your heart Alfin and Naina are in a match. Living happily, harmoniously to old.
Naina sat awkwardly beside the steering chair. He did not take his eyes off the rows of buildings lined up. The activity took place in the largest matrial store in the city.
"We stopped by first, yeah. There is something to be ordered for the mosque" said Alfin, who was approved by Naina.
Their car pulled over at the store's parking lot. Alfin gets off, but Naina stays in the car waiting. Noticing Alfin who was conversing with the shop worker. He smiled, his heart warmed up to the involuntary sight of a pair of eyes, looking at him intently.
