When Love Is Afflicting
The right path

Back at school, Shaka parked his car in the yard and went straight down. Shaka turned towards the three vehicles that followed him from earlier. The three cars belonged to Ferel, Calix and the Dzaki and Dafi twins.

"Well, are you guys coming?" cetus Shaka to his four companions.

"Rapaine again?" ask Ferel put his feet first into his cousin's house.

Shaka snorted, he was still upset that Calix had told him his gentleman was letoi.

"Well, is your wife cooking?" calix asked, he wanted to eat. Yeah, well, he's gonna be rich, but Calix is the kind of guy who likes to eat at people's houses.

"Take it" replied Shaka gawked into the house and went up to the second floor of the house to his room and Annisa.

"Well! lots of food on the table. Who's cooking?" said Ferel who had reached the dining table of the house.

"Who else if not me" replied Annisa who was busy chewing food in her mouth.

"I'm not sure, most maid" Ferel sneered. I know Annisa from Orok.

"There are no servants here" Annisa cetus.

"Eat ah!" Calix who had just entered the dining room immediately took the dishes from inside the dish rack, then brought them to the dining table.

"Stop! this isn't for you guys."

Calix's hands were floating directly over the rice basin that was on the table.

"This meal is for Dad and Umi. It was Yasmin's sister who cooked it" Annisa said.

"Yes, Bu Ustadzah, this is a lot of food. It will not end with Ustadz Bilal Albiruni Aaryan Putra Alfarizqi, and Ustadzah Umm Hani" decak Calix scooping rice and side dishes on the table on his plate.

"Yes, if you want to eat, wait for Dad with my Umi first finished eating. Now is not the time for lunch" said Annisa as she chewed the food in her mouth, so that her voice sounded gargle mouth.

"Why are you eating yourself? It's not time for lunch yet" Calix said, starting to feed his mouth.

"This is my home, it's up to me" Annisa said.

"I'm eating too, ah!" The tempted Ferel also with food on the table, directly took the plate from inside the plate rack, and immediately filled it with food on the table.

"Darling! you're here?. Kirain was in the room."

Annisa, Calix and Ferel immediately turned to Shaka who had changed clothes. Still upset, Shaka went straight to the room, thinking his wife was in their room.

Up next to Annisa, Shaka also dropped a kiss on his wife's forehead.

"So Yasmin's sister came here, she cooked all this food. For our lunch and dinner" Annisa said with a sparkling face towards Shaka who was still standing next to her. If anyone is willing to prepare food in the house, it is a blessing for Annisa who is not good at cooking. Although Shaka can actually cook, but it does not taste as good as the cuisine of people who are adept at cooking.

'Oh! I deserved to choke on myself. It turned out that Annisa was talking about me with Yasmin's inner sister Shaka reviewed her smile while gently rubbing Annisa's head from behind.

"So Yasmin taught me how to cook. I can, but I'm still afraid of facing the stove." Annisa is still traumatized by the fire, what else is their house burned because of the mistake of him who forgot to turn off the stove after wearing it.

"What's wrong, don't push yourself" Shaka replied, taking a spoon from Annisa's hand, then spooning the food into her mouth.

"Today's Mama's wedding anniversary with my Papa. Later that night you come to my house" Calix said after swallowing food in his mouth.

"Me too" rejected Ferel. Let them be heartless but they do it for their good.

Calix and his family are Muslim. But his parents were far from religion. And fortunately Calix since Elementary, school in an Islamic-based school until now, so he has different thoughts with his parents about religion.

"You help me yes, to take my parents on the right path" Calix asked. I hope both of my parents live their lives like a true Muslim.

Shaka, Ferel looked at each other, thinking whether they would come to Calix's parents' wedding anniversary.

"What are your parents doing?" ask Annisa confused. Although she had known Calix for a long time, Annisa did not know about Calix's parents.

"Both of my parents were Muslims. But they seem to have forgotten their religion. I want to lead them to know their religion" Calix replied.

Annisa nodded her head with a smile, a sign of agreeing with Calixto's noble intention to lead her parents to remember God.

"Of course we'll come tonight" Annisa said.

"Alhamdulillah" said Calix rubbed his face with his palms.

"As fellow Muslims, we must help each other and remind each other" Annisa said.

"But Annisa, later there you are not comfortable with the aroma of liquor there" said Shaka, worried if you have to bring Annisa. What if Annisa takes the wrong drink. He could get drunk on his wife.

"Look, this time I took care of it. There is no such thing as Miras. That's why you guys help me. Your job is to replace the musicians and singers who will entertain later.replace them by praying" Calix explained.

"Alright" said Ferel, the food on his plate was exhausted. Then Ferel took a sip of water in front of Annisa without asking for permission.

"How about we take Salwa and Hasna as well?. Later we can play tambourines there" chirps Dzaki who arrived arrived coming from the living room.

"Maybe" Calix replied, of course he was happy if Hasna came to his house, considering Hasna is a girl in his tribe.

"But Salwa is not!" shaka Tukas.

"Why?, will you and Annisa take care of him" asked Ferel.

"And usually we are with all the whereabouts" Dafi told Shaka.

Shaka sighed, not wanting to tell him the reason why he wouldn't let Salwa come along. Salwa is not her real brother, no one knows that including Annisa. Shaka was worried that Salwa would be targeted by her biological parents at such a party.

"Salwa is a sleepy man. He won't be strong staying up late" Shaka replied eventually reasoned.

"It's only a short time, at least nine o'clock in the evening it's done" Calix said. It is not exciting if their performance is incomplete.

"Yes, it is not necessary that Salwa does not come" continued Annisa, in agreement with Calix.

"But baby, later Salwa will trouble us" said Shaka reasoned. If Salwa comes along, it will be there and two continue with Ferel.

"If Salwa doesn't come, lazy ah!" Annisa pursed her lips. Where Annisa, Salwa and Hasna often go together. If Salwa does not come, it must feel that there is less.

"Remember, I won't keep getting Salwa back" Ferel glanced at Shaka from the corner of his eye, but did he help Shaka get closer to Annisa. After obtaining it, it seemed that Shaka had forgotten to return the favor.
