The Victimized Youth of the Ponpes
The Face Behind the White Sacrifice
...****************...
After waiting for a few minutes, Farhan finally arrived at his dining table.
Farhan immediately put his book in the bag, and ready to eat his dishes.
"Dad, Syifa wants your book pinjem"
When Farhan closed his bag after putting the book into his, Syifa came closer to him and sat on his lap.
"Syifa wants a book?", asked Farhan.
" Yes father, Syifa wants to pinch the storybook" Syifa replied smiling.
"Wait for you" said Farhan, slowly lowering and sitting Syifa beside him.
Farhan opened his bag again and looked for a book for Syifa to read, Farhan thought that Syifa might be less interested in novel books so Farhan also lent him a picture story book.
"This is, this is, a storybook for Syifa" Farhan said, giving the book.
" Hihi Kancil, funny", said Syifa after receiving and seeing the cover of the book. Then Syifa immediately opened and read one by one page of the storybook.
Seeing that Syifa had calmed down after being given the book, Farhan immediately ate his food. Farhan began to relax and release the turban under his back, and lowered the turban that covered his nose and mouth area.
The scene had been awaited by Dinda who had been watching Farhan since Farhan's food arrived. Because he knew for sure his turban would be opened, then Dinda was waiting when the turban was opened and saw the face behind the white turban.
But Dinda increasingly made her greget because after the turban was down and already did not cover Farhan's face, but there was still a fine white cloth that still covered her. Because of his habit before using the turban, Farhan always wore a fine white cloth to cover his nose and mouth then after that just use a turban to coat it.
Then Farhan also immediately lowered the white cloth, and the scene awaited by Dinda finally appeared. Farhan's handsome face and pure white, Dinda immediately did not blink to see the face behind the turban.
"Ma Shaa Allah, the handsome tam of the young man, emang Syifa if he chooses very well. Astaghfirullah Haladzim O Allah, keep your eyes, O Allah", the mind of Dinda who is reflexive to see the face of Farhan.
Farhan also immediately ate his meal after reciting the prayer...

When Syifa was reading a book, she suddenly felt thirsty. Then he looked at the table and looked for his drink.
"Mamaa, please take Syifa!", said Syifa asked her mother to take her drink.
But Dinda did not hear the call from Syifa, and instead, Dinda looked back at the sacrificial youth who was eating.
" Mamaa!", Syifa called her mother again but still did not respond.
The mama who was beside Dinda found out that Dinda was watching the figure of a handsome young man who was eating.
"Dindaa!!", her mother called out to her.
" Eh, I do?", Dinda was sober and nervous.
"Syifa from earlier called you, ", said mama.
" Eh,, Syifa, yes, baby, what's wrong? ", dinda looked straight at Syifa.
" Please take Syifa's drink" said Syifa pointing to the glass near Dinda.
Dinda noticed the glass Syifa pointed at, took it and gave it to Syifa...
" I'm sorry baby, but my mom didn't hear Syifa's voice" said Dinda, giving the glass.
" Yes mom, it's okay" replied Syifa slowly back to sit down and drink her drink and continue reading the book.
Before reading the book, Syifa placed a glass next to her. But Syifa unintentionally looked at her mama with a one-way look.
"What else see, why not blink?", inner Syifa.
" I think she looked towards Syifa's deck", when Syifa saw the gaze of her mother, Syifa also realized that her mother was looking at someone who was on her right side.
Syifa also just remembered if the one on her right was Farhan, then Syifa also looked to her right side.
Syifa was surprised when she saw the figure she called the father take off his turban and look his handsome face.
"O Allah, dear father, hihi", inner Syifa.
" Mama saw Dad again. Mama's starting to like dad", inner Syifa.
