The Gema Shahadah Aisyah

"It turns out I used to pass in front of Atalie's house but didn't know it was her house at all." Ayana circulated the views all over the courtyard of the Atalie family home. Despite being friends for a long time, Atalie rarely talks about her family. Atalie was indeed a closed person.

After Gracia's college, Ayana and Khanza decide to visit Atalie. Among them, only Gracia had visited Atalie's house once.

"Atalie's guys, let's go in." Renata welcomed the three of them in a friendly manner. Atalie had already told her that her friends were coming.

They shook Renata's hand in turn and asked her how she was doing.

"Atalie's in her room, you guys go upstairs and have a little aunt anterin snack upstairs."

"Tante don't bother, we're here to see Atalie." Gracia did not want their arrival to trouble Renata, their goal was to visit Atalie.

"Don't be shy." Renata rubbed Gracia's back just before she went to the kitchen. Meanwhile Gracia, Ayana and Khanza climb the stairs to Atalie's room on the second floor.

Atalie looked pitifully lying on the bed, her legs propped up with a pile of pillows. The scar on Atalie's leg hasn't gone away and now there's a sprain. It was a complete package for Atalie to spend the whole day in the room while reading a book.

"Lake in." Atalie half-screamed hearing the sound of knocking on the door several times. A second later the door opened and Gracia, Ayana and Khanza emerged from it.

"Atalie, my goodness!" Gracia was surprised to see Atalie's legs wrapped in bandages, "I thought it was just a little sprain."

"The sprain is a little bit." Atalie reviews the smile of seeing her friends.

"It must be really painful." Ayana shuddered in horror at the pain Atalie had to feel. His legs sprained as a child and he could not stop crying all night.

"Your face is pale." Khanza placed the paper bag on the nightstand, it was the item he brought to visit Atalie.

"Because haven't washed your face yet." Atalie straightened her body, Khanza helped to arrange a pillow for Atalie to sit more comfortably. "What did you bring?"

"Bring a book." Gracia sat on the sofa as well as Ayana while Khanza sat on the edge of the bed.

"The Gracia's father." Tukas Khanza as Atalie looked at him, she also saw some books around Atalie. "Books are the right choice, even though it hurts you still read books."

Atalie thanked her friends who took the time to come here. "You see dong."

"More." Khanza gave the paper bag to Atalie. "That's a book that just came out last month."

"Well, I want to buy this book." Atalie sparkled out a book called Like the Moon and Sun by Stanley Harsha that he really wanted. It was a book about political, religious and cultural life from the glasses of an American diplomat.

"I'm sure there are dozens of other books you'd like to buy." It was Ayana who made Atalie chuckle.

Their conversation was interrupted briefly when an ART delivered drinks and snacks to Atalie's three friends.

"Thank you Bi." Speak to the aunt who delivered drinks for them.

"Eh Atalie, after recovery you should follow Khanza and me to Thursday's afternoon study." Ayana moves up to Atalie's bed after the aunt comes out of the room.

"What happens on Thursday?" Atalie frowned, for him every day was the same.

"Every Thursday that studies Ustadz Hamzah, he's a real fan." Ayana is obviously excited.

"Just like Ayana." Timpal Khanza while Gracia only listened because he knew nothing about it. "More beautiful than Ustadz Umar."

"Actually you guys take part in the study want to find knowledge or want to see handsome men anyway?" Atalie tilted her head looking at Ayana and Khanza alternately, she was not interested in the handsome ustadz they mentioned. Not that Atalie is not normal, of course she can also fall in love with men. It's just that for Atalie, Umar is still the most handsome. Ah, Atalie did not want to flirt with praising Umar. Ayana and Khanza can taunt Atalie endlessly. Even to admit it in his heart, Atalie prestige, he always compared Umar with foreign actors to stay self-aware.

"Yes both, you know the proverb while diving drinking water right?" Ayana defended herself, and it was not only her who admired Ustadz Hamzah.

"I can't." Atalie turned her attention to the book in her hand, her face turning grim as she said that.

"Why?"

"Mama and Papa limit the time I make out other than for college especially after this I will rarely go to campus."

"Well." yeah." Ayana and Khanza agreed, but they also had no right to force Atalie to participate in the study.

Atalie lowered her head, she could no longer participate in the study after Umar forbade her from asking anything. For Atalie it was like a rejection. It seemed like Umar hated Atalie after her last words some time ago. Atalie would try not to show her face in front of Umar.

"So, really Felix, you wear high heels?" Gracia's turn sounded, she had already heard the short story from Atalie.

"Actually not a maksa anyway and I can also refuse, I just want to hunt home so I wear sandals that heels 5 centimeters, he said not too high really." Atalie mimicked Felix's style of speech yesterday.

"So it's not too high for people who have often used high heels."

"But Atalie said before that she can't use high heels." Tymphal Khanza.

"Do not think again." Tukas Atalie, he did not want to make Gracia think too much about it. After all, now that he was fine, his legs were not too painful anymore. But that doesn't mean Atalie will forgive Felix, never.

******

Atalie's room was quiet after the departure of three friends who had accompanied Atalie's solitude until the sky darkened. Atalie circulated the view to all corners of her room which was shades of gray, this was the most comfortable place to stay besides the back garden.

Again Atalie felt empty, this bothered her the last few days. Atalie stepped limped from the front of the bathroom and sat down in front of the dressing table. Atalie dried her face with a tissue and then applied toner and moisturizer.

"What is less?" Atalie asked herself, she has good friends and family who always loved her.

Atalie again threw a glance across the room, "what don't I have?"

The row of books on the shelf became a favorite item that Atalie had. Today Atalie has completed two books at once, a book that she had never read before due to the busy lecture.

Who created man?

Atalie typed the question in the search field.

God created man from the earth. In one of the hadiths, it is said that "Allah created Adam out of a lump of earth taken from all the places on earth".If Allah had willed, man could have been created from another element.

"He created the heavens and the earth in six days."

(QS Hud Verse 7)

Atalie spontaneously closed her laptop when the door opened. Renata came to bring Atalie dinner.

"Mama made your favorite food." Renata shows a vegetable salad with avocado cutouts and chicken breast.

"Thank you Ma." Said Atalie, "Mama made her own?"

"Yes dong." Renata sits on the sofa letting Atalie enjoy her dinner.

"Mama's most delicious mama." Praise Atalie after finishing the first feed, it's just pieces of lettuce, purple cabbage, carrots, avocado, tomatoes and eggs with olive oil and garlic dressings. But if Atalie makes it, it won't be this good. I don't know why mom's touch always makes things special.

"Cowok that yesterday, he said that has a crush on you since High School huh?"

Atalie stopped chewing, surely Daniel had leaked this to Renata. Basic Daniel, he's the most hobby of judging Atalie. When will the child grow up.

Atalie finally replied with a short nod.

"But you don't like it?"

"Yes." Yeah."

"At your age, it's okay if you want to start dating, Mama and Papa never forbid you to have a boyfriend."

"What's Ma doing?"

Renata paused for a moment, "it's not natural that a child of your age would go out for a while."

"I'm happy Ma, there's Mama, Papa and Daniel."

"So for now there's no man you like?"

Atalie hesitated to answer her mother's question, she just looked down pretending to focus on enjoying her salad even though her head was filled by the name of Umar. Atalie clearly rejected the feeling but why the figure of Umar actually appeared at a time like this.

Renata smiled looking at the red tinge on Atalie's cheeks. He believes there is a man who managed to steal Atalie's attention. But Atalie refused to admit it.

"There's but it's hard for Ma to reach, it's my first love but it won't work." Atalie let out a heavy sigh, this was the first time she had paid attention to a man. But even though he has not tried but Atalie already knows what the end will be like. There was a huge difference between them that made Atalie filled with doubts to reach him.

"Why say that, did you try deketin?"

"Had not tried to ask Atalie to stay away."

"Reason?"

Atalie turned around to see Renata, "she never even saw my face when we talked." He bent his lower lip annoyed considering Umar's words at that time.

"Here you go, you can find another important man not the Felix." Renata rubbed Atalie's shoulder to comfort her.
