True Love Never Ends
The Part 25

Azhar filled the study material well, even in the first study of this congregation immediately liked Azhar. Where the way he gives material is very easy to understand, not too serious but convincing. Azhar learned all this from the way Bilal taught while Azhar was still in the pesantren.

And as Nasha falls in love with the handsome Ustadz, Nasha is convinced there is no better man for her than Azhar. His intelligence will be the science of religion, his gentle nature and his politeness. Azhar reflects the true man who will certainly be the man of every woman's dream.

After the study was completed, they all prayed ashar then after finishing they were ready to go home because it was already afternoon.

"I see you really enjoy what Azhar explained" Maryam told Nasha as she walked out of the mosque.

"Yes, he's very smart" Nasha replied embarrassedly.

Then Bilal and Asma were seen who had also come out of the mosque. Bilal walked while holding Asma's hand possessively as if afraid that his Zahra was gone, and the sight stunned Nasha. Nasha very rarely saw both of her parents walking around with such affection. And that pair of grandparents still look romantic.

"Why, Nash? Like to study?" ask Asma to Nasha.

"Yes, Nyai.." replied Nasha sung and immediately Asma laughed amusedly.

"Why Nyai? Call aja aja aunt, called Nyai feeling floating in my air" said Asma still laughing amusedly, and it even makes Nasha can only smile clumsy.

"But you really like to follow studies or like to fill out studies?" bilal Goda.

"Eh...?" Nasha responded inexplicably but then she looked down in embarrassment as she understood Bilal's temptation.

"So remember when I was a santri, my husband's Ustadz, so often teased in the same Imel and Nora" continued Asma then remembered the time he was in the pesantren.

"Hm so yes, you used to take part in the study every Thursday that afternoon because I was the study?" bilal Goda.

"Yes, every Thursday afternoon I go along even though Brother Mukhlis is nervous"

"But if I'm the one you're teaching you're definitely more enthusiastic, happier, aren't you????" goda Bilal again while winking his eyes made Asthma blush.

"Remember the age of dong, Bi.." Maryam continued.

"Hmm, age will affect the romance of lovers who love each other. Isn't that right, honey?"

"He'em" muttered Asma embarrassedly making everyone chuckle.

And yes, Nasha did not expect it turned out that religious figures like them could tempt each other as well.

"If you want to go straight home, Nash. We are all with Azhar" Asma said later when Azhar had come with her car.

"Yes, I have to go straight home. Thank you very much" Nasha said later.

"We're grateful for the ride" Maryam chimed in.

"No problem, Neng Maryam" said Nasha again.

They split up there too. Nasha had to go straight home and she had to prepare with her mother's anger who had called Nasha since then but Nasha did not answer her Mama's call.

Arriving home, really. Raya immediately showed her sangar face to Nasha even though Nasha had told her not to go home because she was studying, but she did not come back, and Nasha didn't answer her Mama's phone because she was in the mosque and the study is still ongoing.

"Assalamualaikum, Ma.." said Nasha. His first greeting when he came home.

"Indeed you can join the study next time, huh?" snapped his mama without answering Nasha's greeting.

"Kan Nasha had no more activity, Ma. Go home also in the house without doing anything, mending participate in the study right" replied Nasha who made Raya increasingly look angry.

"You're getting more and more rebellious, Sha" he exclaimed furiously.

Harry who had been in his room had immediately come down to hear the cry of his mother.

"Nasha doesn't argue, Ma. Nasha is just plain" said Nasha and...

PLAKKKC....

"Mama.." cried Harry did not accept the harsh treatment of Raya on Nasha. This is not the first time Nasha has gotten a slap like this, and it really hurt Nasha's feelings. Always was.

"Don't you dare interfere, Har!" the resolute Raya was angry. While Nasha can only sob while holding her cheek.

"Mama's outrageous, Sister Nasha was wrong until Mama slapped her?" harry shouted and he immediately pulled his Big Brother away from his Mama.

"He's defiant!" reply Raya was angry and looked at the two children very sharply.

"Every child will defy if you have a Mama like Mama" cried Harry again and he immediately pulled Nasha away from his Mama's presence.

Meanwhile, Raya, her emotions overflowed hearing what Harry said. He walked with wide steps and pulled Harry's hand and then he was about to slap Harry but Nasha stopped him.

"Ma, no... Nasha please.." said in the middle of his sobs. Harry stared back at his mother in anger.

"You two really don't know thank you, I'm your mother. You must follow my orders and respect me!"

"We will respect Mama as a mother if Mama loves us as a child. Not treating us like a Mama machine" Harry said.

"Harry, sshtt, quietly, Dek" she looked pleading with Harry.

"Take care of your words, Har.." shouted Raya again.

"Mama's the..."

"Harry's...." Nasha clasped Harry's hand tightly, leaving Harry speechless as he knew what Nasha wanted "Nasha apologized, Ma. Please don't be angry with Harry" Nasha said with tears in her eyes.

Raya did not respond to that, he immediately went from there with anger that is still stirring.

Harry hit the wall hard to vent his anger on his mother.

"Sir Nasha don't be stupid, brother. If you keep this up, you will make Nasha Kak her robot, Mama will destroy Nasha's life like she destroyed Laura's life" Harry cried full of anger.

Nasha pulls Harry into her arms to calm Harry's anger. And also he needed a hug to suppress the pain in his heart.

Harry even started crying, and Nasha hugged him tighter and tighter.

"Don't cry, Dek.." said Nasha, but she herself was still crying and couldn't stop her crying.

Harry breaks his embrace and he wipes away Nasha's tears.

"Sir Nasha also don't cry" said Harry trying to control his emotions.

"Sister should take a shower and rest, do not cry anymore. Okay?"

Nasha nodded and she went straight to her room.

While Harry, he came to his mother's news and saw his mother looking at a photo of a teenage girl crying. Roughly Harry took the photo, which made Raya flinch.

"Sister Laura is leaving because of Mama, if one day I and Sister Nasha go. Mama will regret how bad Mama's treatment was with us." said Harry coldly and he immediately went from his mama's room with the photo. While Raya was silent with an empty look.

.........

Azhar thought about what Bilal said about herself and Nasha, although Azhar does feel something beautiful on Nasha but Azhar still not confident if you have to invite Nasha taaruf because she knows who she is.

And Nasha is also very young, women today are unlikely to want to marry young for the reason of avoiding adultery. Women today would definitely prefer to live freely and pursue their dream career, what else Nasha is a medical student. Azhar believes Nasha would still want to succeed as a doctor and could not think of a marriage and living in a household.
