Aulia returned to the room after performing Ashar prayers with Umi and Abinya.
" Nduk be careful there, work honestly and sincerely "Myai Abas message that turns out to follow him.
" Yes Bi.... Thank you "Aulia flanked Kyai Abas' arm.
Umi Tinah's hands were tightly clasped by Aulia, seemingly reluctant to part.
" I'm sorry Abi and Umi couldn't get you to the airport " Kyai Abas said.
" It's okay Abi, Aulia is used to going here and there herself "Aulia calms down.
" Where do you often go? " Tanya Kyai Abas.
" Yes go wherever Bi, if there is an outside task from work "Aulia answered, her hand tidied her hijab.
" Working in an import export company? " Kyai Abas is still curious.
" Yes Bi, thank God Aulia was given the confidence to always handle work with outsiders "Aulia explained.
Kyai nodded her head, "Did Aulia work in such a company? " See in the heart.
" Don't get carried away by the association yes Nduk "Umi Tinah sound down.
" No Umi, Aulia can take care of herself "Aulia assured.
" Umi has prepared your favorite food Nduk, later do not forget to bring yes " Message Umi Tinah.
" Yes Umi... Thank you so much "Aulia kissed Umi Tinah's cheek.
" Oh yes Bi, Aulia will leave at half-five from here "Aulia continued.
" Yes Nduk... " Kyai Abas replied softly bowed.
Aulia understood that her parents actually did not want to separate from her.
" Abi, who came to visit? It seems to be talking about something exciting "Aulia is curious.
Kyai Abas is confused to answer Aulia's question, as it is impossible to tell Arsha about Aulia.
Like Arsha's message before going home if he doesn't want Aulia to know about Arsha first.
" Oh that, that.... The person Abi believes to help take care of the boarding school "Kyai Abas begins to answer Aulia's questions.
Aulia noticed Kyai Abas's reply "Faizal? "
" It was not Nduk, was it not Aulia herself who told Abi not to ask Faizal to help take care? " Kyai Abas explained.
Aulia looked at Kyai Abas face, her gaze was calm because indeed Aulia realized that she herself was telling Kyai Abas.
" Who is Bi? Aulia was unable to hear her voice clearly "Aulia was still curious.
The more confused Kyai Abas heard the question from Aulia.
" Athaghfirullah's.... I have to lie " Kyai Abas said in my heart.
Aware that the answer was awaited by Aulia, "Yes it was a new child, so Aulia did not know him even though Abi mentioned his name ".
Aulia nodded her head, "Yes too "His words.
" Thank God.... Aulia was no longer curious "Myai Abas murmured in her heart.
Aulia plays her phone to book a car so she can take her to the airport.
" Nduk, what exactly brings you home? " Seriously Kyai Abas asked.
Aulia stopped her activities playing the phone, she smiled sweetly.
" I don't know Bi, which Aulia knows is that Aulia wants to go home and it turns out that Abi is sick. Maybe it's the inner bond "Aulia explained with a laugh.
" Mash Allah.... " Kyai Abas was amazed.
" Abi longs to see your joy like this Nduk " Kyai Abas said.
" Umi too.... " Umi Tinah embraces Aulia from the side.
" The car that Aulia ordered has started the road "Aulia told Umi and Abinya.
Kyai Abas and Umi Tinah followed Aulia's path towards the living room.
There Aulia waited at Kyai Abas, while Umi Tinah returned to the kitchen to pick up some of the luggage that Aulia would bring.
" So actually Aulia came without planning? " Kyai Abas connected the conversation earlier.
" Yes Bi.... " Aulia confirmed again.
" Manjur also yes Arsha's prayer "The voice of Kyai Abas whispered a little to himself.
Sayup Aulia heard what Kyai Abas said earlier.
" What is Bi? What prayer? " Tanya Aulia investigated.
Kyai Abas was shocked to hear Aulia's question.
" So Abi said a prayer, what prayer? Don't whisper Abi... " Aulia wants to know.
Umi Tinah had returned from the kitchen to bring a package for Aulia to carry.
He placed the parcel on the guest table, and he sat on the same bench as Aulia, they were next to each other.
" Thank you Umi... Abi, Abi, what prayer do you have? " Aulia turned her gaze from Umi Tinah towards Kyai Abas.
Kyai Abas was confused, Umi Tinah noticed her husband and wanted to know what exactly they were discussing.
Aulia shook Kyai Abas' arm, "What prayer is Nduk? " Sergey Umi Tinah.
Kyai Abas' arm was already released by Aulia and Aulia regained her composure.
" Umi just ask Abi "Aulia replied.
Umi Tinah looked at Kyai Abas, Kyai Abas gave the code by naming Arsha without sound.
The code can be understood by Umi Tinah and Umi Tinah helped explain to Aulia.
" The prayer that Abi meant may be a prayer from someone for you Nduk "Umi Tinah gives the best explanation possible.
Aulia turned towards Abinya, ignoring Uminya.
" So Abi meant, Aulia came because she was prayed by someone like that? " Aulia asked firmly.
" Right, Abi meant that there might be someone praying for you so that you would go home "So soon Kyai Abas straightened out.
" who? " Aulia wants to know.
" Yes Abi also does not know Nduk "Absaid Kyai Abas, Umi Tinah can only pay attention.
" abb... Everywhere the prayers of the parents will be faster until "Aulia is evaded.
Kyai Abas and Umi Tinah laughed at the look on Aulia's face.
" Abi and Umi will surely miss times like this Nduk "Low voice Kyai Abas expressed his heart.
" Abi..... Umi's..... " Aulia clasped her parents' hands to calm down.
" Umi is glad you have returned cheerful and like before, although not completely " Umi Tinah said close her head to the head of Aulia.
" Have you forgotten Husain Nduk? " Tanya Kyai Abas in heart.
" What exactly makes you this happy? " Think of Kyai Abas.
Kyai Abas was afraid to ask Aulia, afraid that the feeling was still there, whether it was a feeling of liking or heartache.
Especially if considering their closeness first, closeness that is very limiting.
Fortunately Aulia was a person who held the principles and was responsible to herself, so Aulia was not carried away by the obscene association
Aulia's phone rang with a notification coming in from the car she rented.
" ammy, Abi.... The car had already come, Aulia had to leave immediately "Aulia's voice shook.
Deep in her heart Aulia also felt hard to leave Umi and Abinya alone at home.
" Yes have gone Nduk, be careful on the road, do not forget Abi's message yes " Kyai Abas said firmly.
Aulia walked towards the courtyard ushered by her two parents.
After hugging, kissing her parents' hands Aulia said goodbye and immediately entered the parked car, waiting for her.
" Virtually Abi taseplosan Mi " Said Abi while looking at the departure of the car that was boarded by Aulia.
Kyai Abas sat on the porch seat of the house alone because Umi Tinah had returned to the House.
...****************...
Faizal walked somewhere, his mind still considering the advice of Arsha to come visit Kyai Abas.
" Now or later? " Task Faizal to himself.
" It seems like now, but if now by walking up there can nenjelang maghrib "Faizal still consider.
" But if you get there maghrib, it means being able to congregate with Aulia "Take into consideration again.
" What was Arsha up there? Why is it so fast? " Faizal's gaze glanced towards the foyer of the room where santri was staying.
" Why Mas? " Suddenly someone greeted Faizal from behind and it turned out that it was Imam Arsha's roommate.
" You surprised me, Mam "Gerutu Faizal, who was surprised.
" he... He yes sorry Mas "The Imam apologized.
" Where is the way here? " The priest wants to know.
" Want to stay in our room again? " The Imam asked.
" No, I myself am also confused where to go "Answer Faizal accordingly.
" How could that be? " The priest asked in wonder.
" Beware Mas later kesambet "Ledek Imam.
" Sstttt already do not be noisy, mendingan you rush to the surau, clean the manau or whatever "Suggestion Faizal with a commanding tone.
" Yes, yes... I'm still waiting for Arsha " replied the Imam.
Faizal watched the Imam carefully, wondering why he should wait for Arsha.
" What's going on waiting for Arsha? " Faizal started to find out.
" There is nothing Mas, just that Arsha told me to wait for him because he was going to take donations and collected in Surau "Iam explained.
" So Arsha's gone.... " Murm Faizal in the heart.
" Donation? Why should it be taken instead of delivered? " Faizal asked the Imam, curious.
" Maybe the donor doesn't know the way or Arsha wants to help relieve the donor, Mas "Once again the Imam explained.
" Hmmm yes it makes sense also "The Imam thought in his heart.
" When walking up to here may have mepet with adzan maghrib "Faizal open his voice.
" Who said Arsha walked Mas? Arsha riding the bike "Absp Imam relaxed.
" It's a long time ago Mas, I wait for Arsha in Surau only, Assalamu'alaikum "The Imam ended his chat with Faizal.
Faizal ignored the Imam's departure and did not even return the priest's greetings.
Before long Arsha came in with some luggage in front and the back seat.
The motorbike drove slowly towards the surau area, Imam approached and helped Arsha lower the goods from the motor.
Faizal walked fast, to get close to Arsha.
" Where did Sha "tanya Faizal after arriving next to Arsha.
Arsha did not bother, he was still busy transporting the goods he brought earlier to be placed in the surau.
Faizal was just waiting for Arsha without giving any help, the Imam glanced at him without saying anything.
When Arsha returned to his bike he was asked again by Faizal, again Arsha did not mengubrisnya.
The luggage was exhausted, but Arsha did not return to where his motorbike was parked but sat on the porch of the surau with Imam while unwinding.
Faizal was anxious with Arsha's attitude, followed by Arsha.
" Arsha, where do you ask why it's not answered? " Faizal asked firmly.
Asrha only glanced at Faizal then threw her gaze forward.
The priest looked at Faizal with a sharp look, Faizal started to get annoyed.
" You're getting disrespectful Arsha! " Hardik Faizal's.
The Imam stood up, "What is disrespectful who is Mas? " The Imam spoke.
" Mas Faizal himself was the one who asked but was not sensitive "Advanced Imam.
Faizal was treated by the Imam, not understanding where his error lay.
" I'm not talking to you " said Faizal furious at Imam, Arsha is still silent, unmoved.
" Mum, come on corrected himself before blaming others, don't want to win by yourself "The Imam spoke.
" Try Mas Faizal was asking nicely, help Arsha bring his goods, or wait for the right time "Advanced Imam.
Faizal felt guilty hearing the Imam's remarks, but his prestige was too high to apologize, he took a sitting position next to Arsha.
The priest left them both because they did not want to interfere in their affairs.
" I go yes "That's what the Imam said.
Arsha nodded her mark giving permission.
Silence, Arsha and Faizal both do not speak without speaking.
Faizal regulated his emotions while Arsha waited for Faizal's frustration to subside.
" Where were you? " Tanya Faizal broke the mood.
" Taking donations in two places "An Arsha answered flatly his eyes still looked forward.
" What is that? Why should it be taken instead of delivered? " Faizal asked softly.
Hearing Faizal's soft tone of voice Arsha turned and smiled.
" Necessity of the cottage, the donor was a bit of a hassle so I took the initiative to help him, later also they came to bring the rest" Arsha explained.
" Oh so.... " Faizal nodded his head in a sign he understood.
Faizal remembered his intention to visit Kyai Abas and wanted to ask Arsha what Arsha had been there, but he said.
" Why Mas? " Arsha asked after noticing Faizal.
" Are you going to go again Sha? " Faizal asked back.
" No, what's wrong? " Arsha's eyes investigate Faizal's attitude.
" I want to use the bike " replied Faizal briefly.
" Where is Mas Faizal going? " Arya is starting to feel weird.
" Want to go for a minute... Where's key? " Say Faizal was a bit pushy.
" Mas Faizal didn't wait for his prayer to come? " Arsha still hasn't given me the key
" I trust you, Sha, here's the key! " The voice of Faizal hastily.
" Well, if there are personal needs, it is better to walk, this motorbike is used only for cottage purposes! " Arsha spoke firmly.
Hearing Arsha Faizal's words immediately fell silent without a twist.
" How did he know I wanted an apple? " Tanya Faizal in heart.
" Gas save gasoline yes, it would be better if Mas Faizal walked, healthy "Push Arsha while patting Faizal's shoulder.
Arsha rose from the seat Faizal followed, Arsha cuek.
" What did you ride to Kyai Abas' house? Why so fast? " Faizal.
" Bicycle ride "Arsha's answer is short and solid.
" So I can't use the bike? " Task Faizal again.
" Is Mas Faizal testing me? Mas Faizal should know better, right? Because Mas stayed here longer "Arsha authoritatively gave an answer.
Faizal looked at Arsha's face with mixed feelings, there was a fear of guilt and shame.
" If Mas Faizal really has important personal needs, I suggest to go to Pakde Hadi's house and ask permission to borrow his bike "Asha twists his eyes.
