True Love Never Ends
The Part 35
"So you have dared to walk together yes." exclaimed Asma who welcomed the arrival of Azhar and Nasha at his home.
Because Thursday, today's study in the pesantren and Azhar felt uncomfortable if he himself brought Nasha to the pesantren. So Azhar decided to stop by Bilal's house and happened to have Sarfaraz and Afsana there.
"Be careful, the temptations of Satan are subtle. Do not feel any more aware that he is being seduced" Bilal's tease that makes Azhar become misbehaved, while Nasha can only smile stiffly.
"Actually not both ways, that was..."
"Happened to meet?" ask Faraz while accompanying Baby Al to play.
"Well, I picked up Nasha..."
"Well, deliberately alone, " continued Afsana who made Azhar can only scratch their heads, they also laughed amusedly with these two young people.
"We're kidding, we're sure you know where your limits are. But still you have to be careful, no one can ensure the heart and faith, hm.." said Bilal.
While Afsana went up to her room to prepare Baby Al goods, because soon they had to go to the boarding school.
"Yes, Om.." replied Azhar with a clumsy smile.
Nasha who looked at the family's familiar Faraz was very envious, what else when he saw Asma who ate a bar of chocolate and then Bilal came and also ate the same chocolate from Astma's hand. Asthma looks pouty.
"It's a very habit of Abi, take it yourself in the refrigerator. Why do I always have to take what's in my hand" he grumbled while grumbling annoyed, Nasha chuckled at that.
"Well, let's be romantic, dear Zahra. Do you miss romantic romantics like when we were young?" seduce Bilal and he again bites the chocolate with a bigger bite.
"Without time." replied Asma ketus and it made Nasha bulged in shock.
"Can Nyai sniff to her husband who is Kiai?" her mind asked in wonder.
"What time is it? Like a career woman there is no time." cried Bilal.
"Teaching at the pesantren is also a career woman you know, Bi" replied Asma and she again enjoyed her chocolate until the last bite. Bilal took the water and then gave it to Asthma, after Asthma sipped the water now replace Bilal who drank from the same glass. Again, this did not escape Nasha's attention.
"Yes, yes, my Zahra is indeed a career woman" said Bilal while poking the tip of the nose of Asma who is sharp. After that Bilal went up to his room which he said he wanted to take the book.
Nasha noticed some photos of them on display in the family room, until the sound of Asma's loud voice that slightly made her jerk in shock, what else Asma called her husband with a name without any frills...
"BILALL.." cried Asthma.
"What, Honey? Pangolin? Just stayed in the room for a while." replied Bilal while going down the stairs. Asthma immediately glared and saw he was holding Bilal's phone.
"There is a message, Assalamualaikum Mas Bilal, said his.." said Asma after reading the message that entered Bilal's phone, then he stared intently at Bilal. Afsana who had just come down from her room could only laugh at the expression of her mother-in-law. While Faraz could only shake his head as well as Azhar. Different things with Nasha who looks gawking.
"Who sent that romantic message, Ummi?" ask Afsana teasingly.
"Where Ummi knows, deliberately his number is in the same save Bilal" replied Asma.
Shortly after Bilal's phone rang, a call came in from the same number. And Asthma answered him.
"Assalamualaikum, Ma'am." asma who immediately made Nasha glare, as well as Bilal.
"Who?" bilal asked because he didn't know who it was.
"Oh, okay okay." Asma answered the person across the phone, making Bilal even more confused.
"Tomorrow in the morning, this afternoon we want to go to the boarding school" cried Asma again.
"Okay, Waalaikum salam" Asma hung up on her phone and she scoffed at Bilal who was staring in wonder at her.
"Who? Very tight"
"Mbak Yeni who sells the flowers, tomorrow the flowers will be anterin..."
"Astagfirullah, so you.." growled Bilal only realized that his Zahra had corrupted him. Asma laughed amusedly at Bilal's expression "You got me, hm?"
"Romantis kan, Habibti, Ruhi." Asma imitated Bilal's style when saying the word. Afsana and Faraz who have memorized the behavior of a pair of lovers who have aged just chuckle.
"Yes, but you almost made me hang. Kirain which woman sent such a message" said Bilal who once again made Asma laugh.
They also went to the boarding school on foot because it was a very close distance.
Nasha walked side by side with Afsana, while Bilal walked ahead with Asma with Bilal holding Astma's hand.
Nasha couldn't stop her smile from seeing their romance, and she couldn't believe that there was a family that was so harmonious and full of laughter without seeing age or social status.
When entering the boarding area, Nasha was so amazed. There are some pretty big buildings and the place is also crowded.
"My campus lost big to this pesantren." said Nasha and Afsana who heard it also laughed.
"It's only partly, I mean it's boarding for princesses. There is still a special there son, consisting of Dormitory, school, special hall, and also Musholla. There were some special rooms for the master teachers as well" explained Afsana and Nasha looking increasingly amazed.
Nasha Campus is one of the large campuses, there are various majors there. And this pesantren apparently no less big.
"So men and women can't join?"
"That's okay.." Afsana replied "Oh yeah, you come with me to the Ummi residence yes, do not follow Azhar" teased Afsana and Nasha immediately looked down embarrassed.
Asma took Nasha and Afsana to the residence of Umm Mufar. While Bilal, Faraz and Azhar went directly to the pesantren because before their studies there was a short discussion with the teachers related to the teaching schedule. Because there are some additional teachers, one of whom is Azhar.
