The Aisyah Love Pier
Admiring Voices

The day is getting darker, Maghrib prayer has been completed. The worshipers one by one went to leave the mosque which was dominated by the golden color.

But as usual, Aisyah will choose to stay a few minutes longer to teach and muroja'ah. Just before he said the phrase ta'awuz, heard the chanting of the holy Quran which was so melodious greeting his hearing.

"Eh, this is not the voice I once heard, did he just come here again?" inner Aisyah.

It felt like Aisyah wanted to reveal the curtain before her, to see who the owner of the beautiful voice was, even her hands had been stretched out but she immediately puffed out.

"Let me admire this voice without knowing who the owner of the voice is, I do not want to admire men for now, let God keep my love" his monologue in his heart.

After hearing the man teach, Aisyah now began to read the Qur'an and murojaah very solemnly.

On the other hand, Khaira was asleep next to Akmal who had just finished his recitation of the Qur'an, while Zafran was going to the mosque toilet after performing the maghrib prayer.

After Zafran finished, Akmal held Khaira so carefully, Zafran came out first and Akmal followed behind him.

Akmal opened the door in the middle seat of the car to enter Khaira who had fallen asleep first, then he switched to open the front door.

But before entering, he accidentally saw a pink matic motor that was familiar in his eyes parked in the mosque yard. Now his gaze turned to the back of the mosque where the female worshipper came out, hoping he could see the owner of the motorbike again.

"Akmal, so don't you come in?" zafran asked, awakening Akmal who was dissolving in his mind.

"Be it," he said then immediately got into the car.

The black car eventually drove away from the courtyard of the mosque. During the trip, Zafran and Akmal never stopped telling stories, especially Akmal who is currently telling stories so enthusiastically, making Zafran occasionally just silently listen.

"Ummi, Ummi," called Khaira in her sleep, making Akmal stop the story.

"Ommy?" repeat Akmal with a frown.

"That's Khaira's call to her favorite teacher, her name is Ayesha." Zafran gave his explanation to Akmal.

"Is he married, Bang?" asked the man while raising his eyebrows, making Zafran laugh.

"Later you will know, too" Zafran said later.

Aisyah had just arrived at home just before the Islamic prayer adhan echoed in the pesantren's neighborhood.

"Assalamu 'alaikum, '" Aisyah said as she entered her home.

He set his foot in search of the whereabouts of his mother and father in the living room. And sure enough, both parents are currently in the family room with a suitcase that is ready next to the sofa.

"Ummi and Abi what are you doing? Why is there a suitcase?" aisyah asked confusedly as she kissed the back of their hands in turn.

"Well did you forget? Tomorrow we will go to your Bude house to prepare for Zahrah's wedding" replied Lina's mother.

"Astaghfirullah, yes Ummi, Aisyah forgot, yes Aisyah wants to be ready first if that is so." Aisyah immediately went inside her room and prepared some clothes for her to use while at Bude Luna's house.

⚓⚓⚓

The next day, Zafran who was ready with his work clothes, also Khaira who was ready with her school clothes is now preparing for breakfast with Ibu Sofi.

"Zafran, where's Akmal? Is he not awake at this hour?" ask Sofi's mother.

"Akmal was exercising in the backyard, Ma, soon to come anyway," replied Zafran.

"It turns out you're awake, son," said Sofi's mother when she saw Akmal's arrival.

"Tante calm down, I've changed, Akmal who used to like morning molor, has now turned into Akmal who likes morning exercise, just look at the evidence, nih."

Akmal showed his muscular arms so confidently, making Mother Sofi chuckle while Zafran could only shake her head.

Zafran remembered very well, one year ago since the breakup, Akmal attitude was cold and did not talk much to anyone But from when, the attitude of his cousin's sister was back to normal. Does that mean he's ready to open his heart again?

"Sit down, son, we have breakfast together" said Sofi's mother and the man obediently.

Due to thirst, Akmal immediately poured water into a glass and drank it.

"Akmal, I see your cold attitude is gone, does that mean you are ready to open your heart again?"

Byuuur

A burst of water immediately came out of Akmal's mouth and hit Khaira's face beside him.

"Ih, Ooooom," cried the surprised Khaira.

"Astaghfirullah my beautiful son, forgive me dear, this is all because of your Papa," Akmal said as he dried Khaira's face, the little girl was just silent and resigned as her face was on the obok-obok with tissue by Akmal.

Sofi's mother who sat in front of Khaira could only help laughing at the expression of the granddaughter who now seemed resigned to not dwell.

"Why is your reaction so exaggerated, when I didn't say anything wrong, right?" Zafran.

"I'm not exaggerating Bang, I'm just surprised to hear what you've said that I never even thought of." Akmal is still busy tidying up Khaira's veil.

"Well, the pretty boy is getting prettier now," he continued, making the little girl smile and then resume her breakfast.

"So what are you thinking about now?" ask Zafran again.

Akmal was silent for a moment to think about how his heart desires at this time, his forehead even to the point of shrinking the sign he was really thinking hard.

Slowly he took a deep breath, then threw it away slowly.

"I don't know yet either, Bang," he replied later, making Zafran who had been waiting for his answer could only waste a lethargic breath.

"Basan you here," his grunts, making Akmal can only scratch his nape that does not itch.

"Have it done, you guys eat fast, pity Khaira later late to school," said Ms. Sofi. They finally absorbed together calmly.

After breakfast, Khaira is now waiting for her father in front of the house with Sofi's mother.

"Bang, let me take Khaira to school, all I want to see Khaira school," Akmal bargained as he walked with Zafran to the front of the house.

"Sorry Akmal, for this business it seems like I'll do it" Zafran said.

"Loh, why? You'll be able to get to the office faster if I help you" asked Akmal in surprise.

"For the business of delivering Khaira, from now on Zafran who wants to do it himself, even aunty is not allowed to." Sofi's mother blinked one eye at Zafran.

Akmal who felt suspicious now looked towards Zafran while squinting his eyes full of question marks.

"Hahahah Mama could, Zafran not just want to bother Mama." Zafran gave a stiff laugh while holding Khaira who was confused by the adult's talk and immediately left her mother and cousin, hoping that she could survive Akmal's suspicions.
