IKHTIAR AKMAL LOVE
A FEW WEEKS LATER

Because Gus Afnan and Syahlaa have not had dinner. There are Akmal and Cyra. Gus Afnan and Shahlaa invited the two of them to dinner together at their home.

"We'll continue talking later. Come on Mal take your wife too. We'll have dinner first yuk!" Gus Afnan tried to be friendly to Akmal.

Akmal nodded. They all walked to the dining room in Gus Afnan's mansion. Akmal knew that Gus Afnan had an older son, Zarina. But tonight Zarina was not seen in the house. This made Akmal a little curious.

"This is Zarina ko invisible here? Is she following her Papa?"

Syahlaa. "Yes Mas Akmal. Zarina was with her Papi in France.

"Sorry Ning Syahlaa. Emm! Was Ning Syahlaa a Frenchman?" finally Cyra dared to ask also after daritadi harbored curiosity.

"Akmal's mom hasn't told me yet?" Cyra reflexes shook her head.

With a smile, Shahlaa answered. "I am mu'alaf Ma'am. I am a native of France. But now it's settled here."

Cyra just nodded. He did not dare to ask Shahlaa much. In fact, there were many things he wanted to ask her.

"Yuk already! Eat first the food. It will be cold, 'will be bad, '" said Gus Afnan.

They then enjoy dinner with solemnity and also calm. While in interspersion with the funny babble of baby Chafia and baby Zahwa. While Gus Afnan's son number two, Aara is already quite old.

The smiles of the elders were clearly imprinted on their faces. Because they feel anxious about the behavior of the two babies in the middle of them.

Enjoy dinner together. Gus Afnan takes Akmal and Cyra back to the living room again.

"Oh yeah! Said you wanted to ask me a favor, Mal? What'sthat?" ask Gus Afnan.

Akmal then expressed his intention and intention to come to meet Gus Afnan. Gus Afnan was pleased and proud of Akmal's intention to build an orphanage and shelter for homeless people.

"God, God" said Gus Afnan and Syahlaa simultaneously.

"Your intentions and your wife are very noble Mal. I'm proud to be your friend." Akmal only smiled when praised by Gus Afnan.

"So when are you planning to build that building?"

Akmal answered the question immediately. "God willing. And I want to pick up all the building stuff in your store."

"Ready! I'm so ready to help you. And I will give you a different price. Count my alms to them too."

"Later! To purchase all building materials. Let it be taken care of with my sister-in-law. You remember Aaqil, don't you, Mal?" gus Afnan.

"Still," Akmal replied.

"Later you call him. Let him all set. And about the price you just calm down."

Akmal was very pleased with Gus Afnan's words. "Alhamdulillah. I'm so glad to hear that."

"Oh yeah Dad. Are Mas Akmal and Miss Cyra not here to stay? Look at! It's nine o'clock now. It will be very late if they go home" said Syahlaa.

"Mama's right. You guys stay here first huh? Come home in the morning. A trip to the city would be a long time from here."

Akmal and Cyra looked at each other. To refuse it tastes bad. But if not refused. The journey they will take is quite a long time. At last. Akmal agreed to stay the night at Gus Afnan's house.

Next day. The voice of the dawn Adhan was already reverberating. Gus Afnan invites Akmal to immediately go to the mosque in the boarding school. While Cyra and Shahlaa perform dawn prayers in their respective rooms.

"Eh! Ning Shahlaa! Right here! let me sweep it."

Shahlaa of course rejected it. "Eh! Nay! You're here, Miss Cyra. Let me just. While waiting for the boys to come home."

The mother referred to by Syahlaa is the helpers who help clean or cook at home.

"Then baby Chafia and Aara where's Ning?" ask Cyra.

While sweeping, Shahlaa answered him. "They're still in bed."

Their conversation came to a halt when they heard greetings from Akmal and Gus Afnan who had just returned from the mosque.

"Eh! Zahwa is awake. Chafia same Aara where's Mama? Not yet awake, is it?" gus Afnan said.

Shahlaa nodded her head. "Yes! Still on Daddy's sleep. Ew! In the room."

Gus Afnan then said goodbye to go into the room. While Akmal chose to accompany Cyra and baby Zahwa who were sitting in the family room.

Breakfast arrived. Akmal, Cyra, Gus Afnan and Syahlaa are enjoying breakfast together for the first time. They enjoyed breakfast together quietly. And still accompanied by the cuteness of the two babies.

Finish breakfast. Because they don't want to get to their homes. Akmal and Cyra say goodbye to Gus Afnan and Syahlaa at that time.

During his stay at Gus Afnan's house. Cyra asked a lot about Pesantren Pondok owned by Gus Afnan to Syahlaa. And it seems that Cyra has an interest in entering baby Zahwa into the Pesantren Cottage later.

During the return journey. Cyra tried asking Akmal a lot.

"Mother. Is Ning Shahlaa a widow?"

Akmal shook his head. "No!"

"Then? If Ning Shahlaa wasn't a widow. But she said her first child was with her Papi in France."

"Ning Syahlaa's life story is very sorry for Umi. Ning Syahlaa was raped by her boss while she was still a secretary. And produce Zarina."

Cyra was very surprised. "Astaghfirullah."

"But all that is over. Ning Syahlaa had already made peace with her past and was able to forgive her papa Zarina."

"Even Gus Afnan and Ning Syahlaa are now good friends with his papa Zarina. Although there had been a dispute between them before."

"It seems interesting their story is Abu. But whatever it is. Umi could not help hearing Ning Syahlaa's past stories." Akmal smiled as he glanced at Cyra.

After a very exhausting journey. And finally! Akmal and Cyra arrived at their home when the time was one o'clock in the afternoon.

In accordance with the agreement with Gus Afnan yesterday. The next three days after holding a small thanksgiving with close family and workers at home. All the building materials had already begun to arrive at the land that Akmal gave to Cyra yesterday as a dowry.

Akmal monitors the work of his employees. So that the construction is in accordance with what he expects.

Akmal and Cyra are very serious about taking care of the construction of their orphanage. Until without them knowing. The marriage of the two of them had been going on for about ten weeks. Alias two months over two weeks. More precisely three months. And that long anyway. Cyra was unaware. If he is late for the month about three weeks.
