The Gema Shahadah Aisyah
Atalie's First Game

Counted more than seven times Atalie followed Umar's study voluntarily. Khanza and Ayana never forced Atalie to come along. Atalie was just wondering what it was like to enter the mosque that he passed every day when he left for campus. Atalie recalled that first following the study, Umar discussed the personality of the Prophet Muhammad which was exemplary by his people. Atalie does not try to remember it, Umar's speech clings to itself in Atalie's mind.

Yesterday's incident made Atalie lazy to come to the mosque today, he got a message from Khanza who was ready to go to the mosque. But Atalie had no intention of getting out of her seat. He's still struggling with his laptop working on a college assignment that should be collected tonight.

The campus was deserted, there were only a few students still in the classroom including Atalie. Atalie would go home after finishing the task so she could relax at home.

"Reverse yuk." Gracia had been waiting for Atalie for about 15 minutes but she saw no sign that Atalie was about to move on.

"It's over soon." Reply Atalie without seeing Gracia.

"What would pass S2 so diligently." Gracia sat in front of Atalie. "Eh today did not follow Khanza with Ayana to the mosque?"

"No."

"Why?"

"I met Umar, when I was expelled yesterday to his house."

"Well, why did you go to her house?"

"So he keeps my book going to his house for me to turn back, uh he's really tired tell me to hurry up and go." Atalie retracted her words about Umar who had a kind personality.

"Well, he's tired, you don't know yet."

"But her mom she's nice, really good." Atalie remembered that Maryam had allowed her to come to the study after dawn. But Atalie won't be able to get up that early. He could faint because he was used to waking up.

"Your feeling yesterday told me that Umar was very good."

"I was too quick to judge him when he didn't know."

"Where is the house?"

"What kind of boarding school, I forgot anyway really deket, from Immanuel Church about 15 minutes doang."

"He lives in a boarding house?" Gracia.

"He's the kid who owns the boarding school, so when I came across all of a sudden a lot of kids who huddled me."

"What clothes are you wearing?"

"Wear the same regular shirt as your pants."

"Yes clearly Umar kesel, how the hell is a boarding school you should not wear shorts."

"The problem is I don't understand what boarding school is where, if from the beginning I also know what to do I defend there just to turn over the book."

"Free children acceleration if the boarding school just do not know." Gracia LEDek.

"Ehhhh, there's such a kayak lesson at school?" Spray Atalie.

"It's like I'm in public school so I can know a lot of things."

Atalie snorted, since elementary school she had indeed studied in a special place. Atalie had never had a Muslim friend before. Islam is a completely foreign religion to him.

"Atlene!" Khanza's voice echoed in the quiet classroom, the girl stepped in with Ayana towards Atalie. "Recare you're not coming today?"

"No ah."

"For her same Ustadz sprain, it's really strange that Ustadz sprain time." Gracia said with a soft tone, according to Atalie's story is very silly.

"Why order?" Ask Ayana.

"So yesterday Atalie went to Umar's house he kept saying he was told to rush away just like that guy." Gracia represents Atalie recounting the events of yesterday.

"Are you seriously going to Ustadz Umar?" Ayana and Khanza glared in disbelief, they had never gone to Umar's house because there was no reason to go there.

"Seriously, you don't see my face is so swollen because you remember the same thing yesterday." Atalie pointed at her own face that was already flushed red.

"I think it's natural that Umar ngusir Atalie, because he wears this shirt." Gracia pointed at her thigh which made Khanza and Ayana give a start.

"Don't bully me, seriously I don't know that the boarding house is a gathering place for Muslims to study there."

"Geez Atalie, you should be the same as me." Khanza was concerned that Atalie was so desperate to go to Umar's house in open clothes.

"Eh, but Umar has a wife?" Atalie was curious about it because yesterday she saw a veiled woman other than Maryam who made tea for her. Given the tea, now Atalie so hot inside because drinking it at once even though the tea is still puffing smoke.

"I know I haven't."

"Today I saw a woman wearing a veil in that house."

"If it is already married we know, Ayana is very fond of Ustadz Umar." Khanza pats Ayana on the shoulder.

"It's not ordinary." Ayana denies, she only likes to listen to Umar's lectures.

They were silent for a while, only the typing sound of Atalie's laptop keyboard was heard.

"Oh yes where is the book of the Holy Word." Gracia just remembered that the book she bought some time ago was with Atalie.

"Book?" Atalie frowned, why was everyone's book on her.

"And you said you wanted to be taken yesterday away from the church, instead of stopping by my house and covering Ustadz's house."

Atalie's eyes widened, yesterday he did intend to stop by Gracia's house after returning Umar's book. However, upset, Atalie forgot to give her the book. Atalie closed her eyes trying to remember where she put it. Atalie was sure she took him yesterday but this morning she didn't see any books in her car.

"Geez I forgot to put the book down." Atalie hits the table, she suddenly becomes forgetful due to the piling up college assignments.

"What a real one?" Gracia looked at Atalie in disbelief.

"Right, I swear I forgot."

"It's easy to buy again." Gracia patted Atalie on the shoulder and moved from her seat. "I'll go back first."

"I am too." Khanza and Ayana stand together.

"Yes, I finished this first." Atalie did not want to move on before her task was completed, it was a principle that she had instilled since childhood and was used to until now.

"I asked again, really don't want to come today?" Ask Khanza again.

"No." Atalie shook her head, she was not ready to meet Umar after being humiliated yesterday.

"Yes, I'm the same Khanza go first."

"Yes, careful!" Atalie waved at her two friends who were getting away and disappeared behind the classroom door.

Atalie was pensive, where she placed the book of the Holy Word for Gracia's Morning Awakening.

"Don't tell me to miss Umar's house." Atalie ruffled her hair in frustration, so she lost the concentration to do the task because she thought about the book.

"Focus Atalie focus!" Atalie patted her cheek to restore concentration.

Atalie tried to get the job done quickly and sent it via email immediately.

******

Shopping alone is the way Atalie ran away briefly from her busy work on college assignments. At least Atalie visited the mall three times a week even if there was nothing she wanted to buy, she still hung out there.

This time, it was not as usual for Atalie to visit a special shop for Muslim clothing. His eyes flashed with gleaming eyes every time he saw a row of clothes that were neatly hung with various colors and models. Atalie wants to buy everything.

It would be nice if Atalie had her own clothing store. It was one of his dreams after graduating from college. A difficult dream for Atalie to achieve because he had to continue his papa business. The reason Atalie took the master's program was because she wanted to put off working in her papa office.

"Good afternoon, how can I help you?" A salesman approached Atalie.

"I've never bought a robe before, please recommend some models that suit me."

"Cici has an ideal body and bright skin, any model is definitely suitable but I would recommend a model that is popular."  It takes three gamis with different models.

Atalie sees a pink robe with a floral accent motif on the bottom. Other games are black with straight cuts made from knit. As well as A line models with cotton material.

"Then I take all." Atalie decided to buy the three games, it did not take long he liked them all.

"May try Ci."

"No need to." Atalie was sure the robe was enough on her body.

Before returning home, Atalie stopped by a one-way bookstore with her house. Atalie had to replace the Gracia book she lost yesterday.

"Many new books have come." Just like when looking at clothes, Atalie's eyes also sparkled when meeting with books. His goal was only to buy Gracia's book but his hand seemed to move on its own to pick up some other books.

"I'm very talented to make Papa's money." Atalie smiled widely out of the bookstore with two paper bags containing her and Gracia's books.

In front of the shop Atalie hears a commotion between a marshy woman and the boy who keeps her from getting in the car.

"You're still healthy, the first school that really don't ask for!" The woman shouted at the small child who looked down.

Atalie approached the boy after putting a paper bag inside his car.

"Mother if you don't want to say don't say dong." Atalie pulled the boy back, she threw a sharp glare at the mothers.

"Who are you, don't interfere, I've said sorry uh he's asking for money, I'm so disturbed."

"I'm sorry Mom." The boy looked down, his body trembling in fear.

"Have it done, let's go." Atalie pulled the boy away.

"Don't you beggars, huh?" The woman shouted at Atalie.

Atalie did not care about the woman's nagging, she was still sane to not waste her energy. They sat in a chair in front of the bookstore.

"It's for you." Atalie gave several hundred thousand pieces and three ten thousand pieces until her wallet was empty. "That's all I got."

"Sister, this is a lot." He was surprised to see that much money.

"It's okay." Atalie stuffed the money into the boy's pocket. "You don't wear sandals?"

The boy did not reply, he just looked down at his feet without any pedestal. He was used to walking without sandals, his feet seemed to be immune to anything.

"It's like our feet are the same size." Atalie took off her shoes and put them on the boy. Atalie did not misjudge, the size of their legs was the same. "Well fitting, like these shoes were made for you."

"What's my sister wearing?"

"Son't got sandals in the car, put them on." Atalie.

"Thank you very much, very good brother."

"If so you hunt buy a lot of food." Atalie rubbed the top of the boy's head which reminded him of Daniel's younger brother. Atalie was very happy when she knew she would have a sister, now she is happy even though Daniel likes to judge her.

As he was about to get into the car, a man wearing a bright orange vest approached, Atalie realized that she had no money left to pay for parking.

"Sir, the parking money can not pay first?" Atalie put on the widest smile to woo the parking lot that seemed like it would not be easily instigated with just a smile.

"Well, ma'am, how does anyone owe money parking?"

"Truly sir I have no money, tomorrow I promise to come here again." Atalie had no money left in her wallet.

"If that's how everyone who's parked here can lie to me Ma'am."

"Sir, I also want to go, and pay him for the parking fee, how much?" Suddenly a tall man approached the parking lot.

Atalie was stunned for a while, she did not expect to meet Umar here. Atalie didn't go to the mosque today because she didn't want to see Umar, but instead they met here.

"If parking is more expensive."

"Yes, take it all." Umar handed over a twenty-thousand piece to the parking lot.

"Well, it's equally delicious." A wide smile instantly rose on the parking attendant's face within seconds of receiving the money.

"Thank you, it's good to have you." Atalie was so bad that she had cursed Umar in her heart yesterday.

"Next time don't give all your money to someone else, save a little for your own needs." Umar saw everything Atalie did to defend the beggar's little boy.

"Yes, I just didn't think about parking money, thanks again Umar, uh I mean Ustadz." Atalie was confused as to what Umar would call.

"Don't call Ustadz."

"Missy?"

"It looks like you're younger than me."

"Mas Umar." Atalie raised her tone which made Umar a little surprised.

"You even give him shoes?" Umar glanced at the boy who was walking away from the bookstore with a pair of clean white shoes at his feet. Umar believes the price of the shoes exceeded his salary as a lecturer for one month.

"That's because he doesn't wear sandals." Atalie doesn't know what to do but give her shoes.

"Like you are now." Umar saw Atalie's feet without any pedestal.

"I have sandals in the car."

"Thank God that's it." Umar immediately went to his motorbike parked not far from Atalie's car.

Atalie got into his car, he lowered the window to see Umar who was wearing a helmet.

"Not to the mosque today?" Ask Atalie.

"It was replaced by Ustadz Hamzah because I had business."

"Oh." Atalie was bearded, for some reason she smiled knowing that.

Umar turned on the motor and exited the bookstore parking area ahead of Atalie.
