The Gema Shahadah Aisyah
Finally Meet

Umar circulated his views to all the worshippers present in his study today. He did not see Atalie again this afternoon, including more than a month Umar did not see Atalie following his study. In a campus that is not too broad, Umar never met with Atalie since the last time talking about Khadijah's book.

Umar felt there was less to his life after a long time without meeting Atalie. Suddenly he wanted to hear Atalie's plain questions that made him unable to help but laugh. The girl he said wanted to get acquainted with Aisyah.

Where's Atalie?

So the question that is always present in the mind of Umar. Whether his words at that time were too outrageous to make Atalie angry. Umar just did not want Atalie to ask a lot of things but in the end it did not benefit anything. Wouldn't it be nice if Atalie got angry, that meant Umar didn't have to deal with Atalie anymore. Umar also had no intention of being friends with Atalie, not at all.

"From Ustadz." Pamit Ayana told Umar in the courtyard of the mosque when he and Khanza were about to go home first.

"You two?" Actually Umar wanted to ask that since earlier saw Ayana and Khanza come but he did not have enough reason to ask the whereabouts of Atalie, he was also not talented to mince words especially to women. He was just a stiff man who did not have the knowledge to start a conversation with women.

"True Ustadz." Khanza replied, he had been wearing a helmet but discouraged from boarding his bike to hear Umar's question.

"Another common one you don't come with?" Umar pretended to forget the name Atalie, it would be strange if he remembered the name Atalie when they were not familiar apart from Atalie who had visited the residence of Umar. Umar never invited Atalie to come. It was at Atalie's own will.

"I mean Ustadz, Atalie?" Netra Ayana widened, before they never spoke like this that's why she seemed enthusiastic. Umar asked first.

"Ah yes, Atalie." Umar scratched his neck that suddenly itchy, why should he also pretend to forget the name Atalie. Umar feels clumsy now.

"He's busy finishing his thesis Ustadz." Khanza.

"Oh so." Umar mangosteen, that means Atalie is studying Postgraduate. Umar thought Atalie was still very young far below him but it turned out that the girl had already passed S1. Umar's mind became busy guessing Atalie's age. Maybe 26? no, he looks like he's in his early 20s.

"Can't it be the same with your mom?" Ayana looked at the plain Khanza.

Khanza glared and smothered Ayana's mouth because they had agreed to keep this from anyone. Atalie said her parents limited her space especially after coming home from college. But they promised not to talk about it anywhere.

Umar's eyebrows shot up, free Khanza smothered Ayana's mouth because Umar had heard everything.

"Sorry Ustadz." Khanza looked down, "actually Atalie is non-Muslim." Said hesitating.

"I know." Umar said in a flat tone, it was not a surprising thing.

"Ustadz know?" Ayana and Khanza asked simultaneously then they looked at each other as if talking through the eyes. They wondered how Umar might know about it.

"If you'll excuse me first, assalamualaikum." Umar rode to his motorbike leaving the courtyard of the mosque as well as Ayana and Khanza who were still overwhelmed with curiosity.

Before he got home, Umar stopped at a bakery. He had ordered muffins for the students who had won the qosidah race some time ago. There are about 20 students who formed in one team to follow the race.

"On behalf of Umar, 200 Choco Banana and Peanut Butter Muffins right?"

"true."

"Will you take the bike with you?" The shop employee looked out at the parked Umar motorbike.

"Yes." Yeah." Umar was sure he could carry two boxes of 200 muffins with his bike but now he hesitates.

"We're worried that the muffin will break if Mas takes it on a motorcycle."

"I'll bring the car back." Umar had to go home to bring his car here.

"Please!" The voice of the female screams distracts Umar who is about to get on his motorcycle. He narrowed his eyes to see more clearly.

"Atalie?" Umar stopped riding on his bike, his steps brought Umar to Atalie who was trying to release the grip of a pale white man beside him.

"Qu ni ma!"

Umar was surprised to hear the words that came out of Atalie's mouth.

"He asked you to take it off." Umar told the men, though he did not know exactly what had happened to them, but Umar knew that Atalie did not like to be treated that way.

For a moment Atalie was surprised to see Umar's whereabouts, she did not expect that they would meet in this kind of situation. Atalie was determined not to show herself in front of Umar no matter what. But now Atalie desperately needs Umar's help.

"Atalie, please forgive me." Whiney the man.

"Felix, you're aware of what you're doing, right? I will never forgive you!" Atalie was still trying to get away from Felix, he turned to look at Umar. "Please help me, I know you hate me but help me this time."

Umar turned his back, he never said that he hated Atalie. Not at all, he had no reason to hate women he didn't even know well.

"Please let go!" Umar pulled Felix firmly for the handle to come off.

"You don't interfere." Spray Felix even though his body was pushed back due to Umar's strong enough energy.

"Go from here." Umar's tall body tried to block Felix.

Felix ciut only with a sharp gaze of Umar that seemed to stab into his chest. Felix swallowed his saliva with great difficulty then immediately turned around and got into his car.

Umar slightly lowered his body to see Felix who was already sitting in the steering wheel. "If you bother him again, you'll deal with me." His words are full of emphasis.

Felix plugged the gas without saying anything more, he punched the wheel hard expressing how annoyed he was. Felix is angry at himself for messing up his relationship with Atalie. Looks like things will go well after that day, if Felix doesn't buy Atalie high heels.

"Thank you, yeah." Atalie said to Umar, he did not know what his fate would be if there was no Umar just now.

"This is yours?" Umar picked up a large envelope with the name of one of the Banyuwangi hospitals.

"Yes, thank you." Atalie took the envelope containing the X-ray of her leg. He had just finished doing a final check on his leg. After the sprain incident that day, Jaya asked Atalie to do a CT scan because her leg did not heal after one week. In fact, usually if the usual sprain will improve after three days. Atalie only found out if there was a crack in her ankle bone after the doctor performed a CT scan.

"Where are you going?"

"You're home, wait for an invitation."

"I'll wait until your invitation comes." Umar breaks off in case the man comes again.

Atalie nodded withholding a smile, she swung her bag misbehaving. Basic Atalie, why should you be misbehaving just because Umar helped you.

So do you want me? he said he didn't have to ask anything, but why?

"Yes, there are no courses I have to attend on campus."

Umar nodded in understanding, he thought Atalie was sick or going abroad. Wealthy people love to travel abroad.

"By the way, you're good at swearing."

"Hm?" Atalie's eyebrows lifted, he was indeed the most good at cursing but where did Umar know?

"That was."

"You know that's a curse?" Now he turned his back because he did not expect that Umar would understand the curse in Mandarin. Even Atalie was sure Felix would not understand if he had just cursed.

"Know." Umar said casually.

"Can't you?"

Umar raised his shoulders, he often heard it first. His friends said that it was a kind of swear word and Atalie's pronunciation was very eloquent, it seems he was indeed adept at cursing.

"Have you ever lived in China?" Atalie asked enthusiastically.

"Just six months in Shanghai but that word is no stranger, I hear it often."

"Oh yeah? I also studied in China, Hangzhou." Atalie said enthusiastically.

"You mean learn swear words?" Sindir Umar's.

Atalie laughed, "no, I'm learning a language, are you?"

"I guided some converts."

"Oh." Atalie mangosteen understands.

A black Ford stopped in front of them, as Atalie's windowpanes opened and waved at someone behind the wheel.

Umar remembered it was the man who hugged Atalie on campus. Atalie's boyfriend looks younger, apparently Atalie's taste is in droves— a term commonly used to refer to younger men, instead of popping corn. Umar started to slur.

"It's a long time." Ketus Atalie when Daniel gets out of the car.

"Sorry for making the princess wait a long time." Daniel said softly with a contrived smile because deep down, he was upset that Atalie was always angry with him.

"If that's what I'm going to do first." Pamit Umar, there's no point in him being here other than being a mosquito repellent.

"Wait a minute, don't you know me?"

"For what?" Umar put on a flat expression, he did not want to get acquainted with Atalie's girlfriend.

"Oh this is Mas Umar whose sister Atalie told that story huh?" Daniel sees Umar, although he has never met before, but he estimates the figure of Umar that Atalie often tells us about in recent times.

Atalie grinned while her eyes bulged asking Daniel not to divulge the fact that he often told Umar.

The sister?

"Know Daniel, my brother." Atalie takes Daniel by the hand to get acquainted with Umar.

"Hello Mas, I'm Daniel." Daniel extended a hand to Umar.

"Some." Umar returned Daniel's hand. Somehow after finding out that Atalie and Daniel are sisters, they look similar.

"Should you be around here?" Atalie forgot to ask why Umar was suddenly here.

"Yes, take a cake order for santri."

"Wear a motorbike, can you?"

"Can't, so I'm going home to get a car."

"Yes, I've brought the cake to the boarding school rather than you having to go home."

"Not to."

"Don't be rejected, you just helped me."

"Saying Brother Atalie." Timpal Daniel though he did not know what Umar was doing to Atalie just now. "where's the cake Mas let me help bring."

"In that shop." Umar pointed to the bakery he had come to.

Daniel follows Umar into the bakery to help bring the cake. Atalie also followed behind Daniel, wanting to buy some bread for dinner.

Atalie bought a box of Cinnamon Roll and a classic Donut to eat with ART at home. Although Atalie does not have many friends but she considers all ART at home is her friend.

"Do you remember my house?" Umar wants to make sure Atalie doesn't forget the location of his house.

"I can't possibly forget, we'll bring the cake safely to the destination." Atalie opens Daniel's trunk to lay two boxes of muffins belonging to Umar.

Umar thanked Atalie and Daniel, thanks to them he did not need to go back and forth to bring the cake.

I'll show Atalie the visuals after she becomes Aisyah later, wait a minute.
