The Unexpected Mate
Chapter 24
After returning home from the tree house Nafisya and Syakira perform Zuhur prayers and lunch.then they pack their belongings, fearing that they will not have time to go home early around 7 o'clock.
This afternoon Nafisya invited Syakira to Ali's house to visit and say goodbye to ummi Ali.
"Assynoltom.....Assalamu'alaikum"
"Wa'alaikumussalam, wait a minute" a young boy's voice answered and ran to open the door of his house
"Mbak Ayu, Mbak Ira "Zahra experienced it one-on-one
"Let's go in "continue zahra
they went into Ali's house
"Please sit down, Zahra call Ummi first in the kitchen" Zahra said passing into the kitchen
"The house of a' Ali gede also yes brother, usually I only see from the outside only"
"Yes big, his brother worked as the village head, umminya also did not fill the study outside the city."
"Trus what are we doing here, brother? "
"There is no just visiting, anyways tomorrow we will want to go home, at the same time saying ummi"
Ummi and Zahra came with drinks and snacks and put them on the table.
"Ummi"Nafisya stood by Ummi's hand and was followed by Syakira.
"Please drink to Ayu, and to Ira" Ummi said kindly
"hhmm.iya Ummi thank you" said nafisya and Syakira
"Ohh, where's Ali going?"connect Nafisya
"Go to his brother's office, maybe help his brother out there"
"I'm sorry son, Ummi stayed a while back, because Ummi again cooked earlier" said Ummi
"Iya mi ngak papa"ummi passed away to go to the kitchen
"Please eat the cake mbak, it was made by Ummi you know "say Zahra
"wahh bener deck must be this good"Nafisya took a piece of sponge cake on the table and ate it.
"how good it is, cobain also mbak Ira" zahra said
"hehehehe.iya thanks zahra" said Syakira also try the cake.
"Zahra we go to the kitchen yuk, help Ummi cook" said Nafisya standing up
"Hhhhmm can Ira not come?"zahra answered Nafisya and asked Syakira
"all of you first, I'll follow" said Syakira still sitting on the sofa
Zahra and Nafisya went to the kitchen, in the kitchen Ummi was very busy making food
"Why did her Ayu Mbak be invited to the kitchen neng? "ask Ummi on zahra
"Not the zahra who invited Ummi, Ayu who wants to see Ummi, all of you want to help ummi" replied Nafisya
"Yes right said mbak Ayu Ummi...",
"if Zahra stays, then Zahra wants to be with Ira, pity her alone" Zahra returned and passed to the living room where Syakira was
after Zahra left, Nafisya and Ummi stayed in the kitchen
"What's Ummi's cooking,?? What can Ayu help"tawar Nafisya
"No need to neng, no papa Ummi can be alone, just sit there see Ummi neng "ucap Ummi as well as pointing at the dining room chair.
"for what Ayu sits sweet see Ummi, Ayu wants to help ummi, sometimes Ummi, can ya mi"
"Yaudah it is up to neng Ayu aja, as long as it does not burden the neng "peasrah ummi
Ummi and Nafisya are busy cooking in the kitchen, while chatting and sharing stories there are also advice from Ummi, a lot of knowledge that Nafisya can take from Ummi.So also with Zahra and Syakira who joke, joking,laughing happily together looked once they were familiar.
"Alhamdulillah the food is ready to be served, it feels quickly finished because of the help of neng Ayu "cap Ummi serving food on the dining table
"Hehehehehe Ummi, I just help you doang"
"all dinner here"
"Hhhmmmm yes ummi" said Nafisya assented, fearing Ummi was sad if Nafisya refused his offer
Azan Magrib's voice reverberated, a sign of Allah's call to Muslims hastening to fulfill his duty
"Alhamdulillah, let's pray magrib together" said Ummi
"Yes ummi"
Ummi, Nafisya, Syakira and Zahra pray magrib bersama'ah, karna there are no men so ummi it is who believes. After the Prayer Ummi invites for al-Qu'an tadarusan for a while. Suddenly someone knocked on the door and said a greeting, Zahra ran to open the door turned a' Ali and his brother who came home.
"Aba, A'a"zahra kissed the hand of Abah and ali.Abah rubbed the face-covered head of Zahra
"Where did Ummi Zah?, ummi.....ummi Ali come home ummi?"ali asked the Zahra and shouted, calling his umminya
"Yes nak Ummi again in the prayer room" replied Ummi
"Bersihin first your body sanah, just met ummi" Abah said walking towards the room
Abah and Ali headed to their respective rooms and Zahra headed to the prayer room where Ummi was.
"We hope first to pay attention, Ummi wants to prepare dinner for all of us" said ummi
then they walked to the dinner table, arranged the dishes, glasses, water, and food on it.
"Eehhhh no guests yes mi" Abah said arriving at the dining table
"Yes bah"Ummi shakes Abah's hand,
"Abah" said Nafisya lowered his hand, while Syakira shook Abah's hand.
"Zahra calls A'a we want to have dinner together" Abah said
"Good Bah" said Zahra and passed into Ali's room
"Please sit down, son"
Everyone sat at the table, waiting for Ali and Zahra
"Why are you here Ayu?, when did you come?, why don't I know?"said Ali was surprised to see the presence of Nafisya and Syakira
"The original one-on-one dong nak, dizzy Ayu will be" said Ummi
"Later ask the answer now Let's eat" Abah said
They all eat delicious, ummi cuisine is delicious, there is no talk only the sound of food chewing. Nafisya and Syakira are a bit clumsy just that they make the serilex possible.
After dinner, everyone heads to the living room, except for Ummi, who takes care of the rest of the dinner.
"Now you answer my question Ayu" Ali said
"Ngapain must be answered, I think it is here,ribet tauu.
"Yes Mbak a'a is a very complicated person" said zahra
"Yes, yes it's up to you, oh yes bah, tomorrow borrow Abah's car, Ali will take Ayu to the terminal"
"Remain to Ali's terminal? "say Abah
"Yes want to take Ayu and Ira back tomorrow, they will return to Yogyakarta"
"Hhmmm, I can" Abah said, confirming Ali.
"what's bah.....??"Ummi came and sat down beside Abah
"This is Mi Ali borrowing a car he said to take Ayu to the terminal"
"Oooohh...so come back tomorrow?"ask ummi
"I. yes ummi, Ayu has been here 2 weeks, so Ya miss the house especially Syakira also school"
"Hhhhmmmm just yesterday play here, tomorrow already want to come back again" Ummi said with a sad look
"Hehehehe, if the holidays are again Ayu and Syakira will play here again kok mi" Nafisya smiled warmly and was replied also by ummi.
"It looks like it's late at night, I want to leave first Yes mi, abah"
"Ohh yes, Ummi forgot, so let Nak Ayu and Nak Ira be escorted by Ali, afraid of why-why in the street"
"Well mi.." Ali's spirit.
Nafisya and Syakira stood up to greet Abah, and Ummi also Zahra.Ummi took her to the terrace of the House
"Ayu and Ira say yes mii, thanks for the banquet, and tomorrow Ayu pamit return to Yogyakarta, so it is ayu depart tomorrow morning."hugging Ummi and replied by ummi
"Be careful on the road Yes, also say hello Ummi for your parents"
"Okay Ummi, Assalamualaikum mi. "say Nafisya and followed by Syakira.
Nafisya, Ira and Ali they walked towards the grandmother's house, along the way Nafisya and Ali chatted and Syakira was only a loyal listener. I don't think they got to Grandma's house. Syakira went straight into the house.
"Thank you Ali is already between us, want to nawarin you enter, ngak so deh, because it's late at night you must be tired, right...."
"Yes, I also want to go home immediately to rest, and I'll see you tomorrow" Ali said
Nafisya went into the house, no one may be grandma again praying. Then Nafisya went to the back for ablution.after that into the room, seen Syakira who was lying down holding her phone
"Sholat used to be sanah dek" Nafisya said
Nafisya then unfurled his script and performed Isya prayers.When Syakira went to ablution and also performed prayers.completed Nafisya Prayer opened his HP because like there was an incoming message turned out to be true from someone who yearned who else if not Alvan, Nafisya replied to a message from Alvan with a smile.
"Hhhhmmm the same who is, smiley ngak clear" said Syakira finished praying
"Nothing do not kepo ihhh" said Nafisya focus on his HP
"Nothing but, smiling, Ooohhhh must be from Kak.......What sister is it?, Oh Yes Brother Alvan right"guess Syakira
"Lohh How do you knowuu..... ??"said Nafisya frowning his forehead
"Hehehehe, what do I know about my beautiful sister" Syakira teased
"Yes you know, at that time I thought you were the same brother Alvan" Syakira said in her heart
"later when you're done to grandma's room yes, I was told to go there, we sleep with grandma tonight" continued Syakira
"Ok well, you first, later brother nyulai" said Nafisya
Syakira walked to the grandmother's room while Nafisya was still cool chat with Alvan.entah what the contents of the chat that clearly can make Alvan and Nafisya smiles ngak clear. After Nafisya finished heading to the grandmother's room, it turned out that the grandmother was giving advice to Syakira, who was,
"Here sit down" said the grandmother seeing Nafisya walking closer
Nafisya and Syakira just silently listened to the advice and advice of the grandmother for her.
