When Love Is Afflicting
This love

Drabia's mother continued Annisa's cooking so they could eat. Unfortunately also if not eaten, anyways stay fried chicken and numis sambalnya.

"Look this darling, how to fry chicken" Drabia's mother told Annisa and Salwa who accompanied her in the kitchen. Annisa and Salwa set their sights on the cauldron."Make sure the minya is hot, but don't get too hot, then put the chicken in slowly, don't throw it."

"But Annisa put her chicken in slowly, Ma. But suddenly the fire entered the cauldron" interrupted Annisa.

"That means it's because the oil is overheating, and the fire is also great" explained Ms. Drabia.

"Well, Ma?."

"Yes, dear" Drabia's mother gently touched Annisa's shoulder while commenting on her typical maternal smile.

"It seems so, the oil was smoky" Annisa said.

"Somehow, you can't cook. How dare you learn to cook alone" said Salwa.

After cooking, Drabia's mother served him to the dinner table and invited the two teenage girls to lunch.

"Where's shaka?" asked the middle-aged woman not to smell her son again in the house.

"Say go for a minute, Ma. Checking his efforts he said" replied Annisa. Earlier after getting a phone call from someone, Shaka said goodbye to him to take care of his business. Yes, although Annisa thinks Shaka will take care of her tattoo business. Still Annisa lets Shaka go. Maybe Shaka will close that tattoo business.

"Oo, let's eat first, Mama's hungry" Drabia's mother sat her body on the dining table chair, followed by Annisa and Salwa. The three different women of that generation also ate the food in the Annisa recipe earlier.

"How does it feel, Ma?" asked Annisa saw her mother-in-law had chewed the seasoning fried chicken in the recipe earlier.

"Lack of salt" Drabia's mother answered honestly.

"What the hell, Ma?" Annisa pinched the fried chicken on her plate and fed it to her mouth.

"A little more fitting" said Mother Drabia.

"I think it's fitting. Mama aja who often salt the salinity" said Salwa while chewing fried chicken in his mouth.

"So I tasted the fried chicken seasoning already tasted salty, so I did not add salt anymore when revealing the chicken" explained Annisa, she also felt the chicken was lacking salt a little more.

"Pas revealed it, must be designed dong dear salt, is fit or not. Because we love water so much it's worth exposing."

"What's up, Ma?" ask Annisa again, so that her mother-in-law corrects her cooking.

"If the sauce, it is Mama who loves salt. So it feels right" replied Drabia's mother. Annisa just boil it and make it without giving any spice.

"If the decoction of cassava leaves is too ripe it seems, until it turns yellowish" said Salwa.

Annisa snorted, thinking that Salwa could not cook either, but was smart to comment.

Shaka who just arrived at his place of business and rushed down from the motorbike saw the chaos in his barbershop.

"Why is it like this?" shaka asked the employee directly whose face looked battered.

"So there was a man who suddenly beat up all the mirror glass in this place. He also destroyed all the equipment in this salon" explained the man whom Shaka trusted to manage his business.

"Yes, please you guys get it all done" resigned Shaka trying to be patient and sincere. Given all that came from his mistake, and maybe he should have closed the business, because at the back of the barbershop it was a patient's room for tattoos.

"Okay, Boss" obeyed the man.

Shaka stepped into the back room of the salon. He sat his body in one of the chairs. Shaka turned his gaze to every corner of the room, then smiled smugly. Think how many people he invited sinned?. Can Shaka account for the sins of the person who has been in his tattoo.

'Astaqfirullohal azim' Shaka's inner.

Loving Annisa too much, as if Annisa were the pivot of her life. Determine which way it revolves. Until Shaka forgets his life purpose is not for Annisa alone, but to worship the creator and keep this nature so that it is not controlled by the devil.

'O Allah, this love You created, so I return this feeling to You who are robbed. If my love for Annisa has a bad effect on me, I beg you to take this feeling out, O God. I was lost because of this love. I have forgotten You because of this love for Annis, O Allah.'

It was late afternoon, Drabia and Salwa said goodbye to return home from Shaka and Annisa's house.

"Mama go home first. Come home, Mama still misses you. But Mama can not linger here, later Mama there is an event with friends of Mama's friends" said Mother Drabia then kissed the cheeks of her daughter-in-law.

"Yes, Ma. Later when Shaka has come home we will be there" replied Annisa commenting on her sweet smile.

"Yes, Annisa. We go home first. I wait at home, later I will tell Hasna to come too" Salwa said goodbye.

They are already off school, so they can spend more time relaxing before continuing their education to college.

"Yes, wait for Shaka to come first" replied Annisa. Although actually Annisa can come with Salwa and her mother-in-law. But Annisa chooses to wait for Shaka to come home, and they go to her in-laws.

"Yes, you go first. Assalamu alaikum."

"Greetings hallaikum."

Until the night of waiting, Shaka who left from last day has not come. No matter where the man went, Annisa contacted him many times but Shaka never picked up his phone.

'Why didn't he pick up my phone?, where is he? What is he doing out there? Is he tattooing people?. Astaqfirullohal enzyme.'

Annisa becomes unsettled, worried that something will happen to Shaka. Worried about what Shaka's doing out there.

The night was getting late, Annisa who was waiting for Shaka in the living room, kept pacing back and forth towards the window of the house. Keep peeking at Shaka whether or not he's home. Though if Shaka had gone home, surely the sound of his motorbike was heard. But the name is worried, Annisa still wants to make sure.

'Don't Shaka go to Inara's house?.'

Dugdug!

Instantly Annisa's heart skipped a beat, because of what came to her mind. Is it true that Shaka is currently in Inara's house?. It means right, Shaka has married the young mother.

'No!' Annisa denied her own thoughts.

Shaka loves her very much, there is no way Shaka can wish for her. Where's that guy from now on?.

Annisa has begun to sleepy, the girl chose to lay her body on the sofa, waiting for Shaka to come home there. But Annisa who thinks Shaka continues to be unable to fall asleep, even though her eyes are sleepy. Annisa keeps thinking about Shaka who hasn't come home yet.
