Alinda told me what happened to her. However, he did not say if there was a man who disturbed him so that he made himself fall until his legs sprained. If he tells a story, of course, afraid that the aunt will worry and make him no longer allowed to spend the night or spend time in the cave where he was talking.
"So, it was Neng Zahra who helped Neng Alin, huh?" tanya Bi Herni again made sure.
Alinda nodded. He had to lie like this. But he didn't lie entirely. Zahrani was the one who helped him. Even though Maher was really responsible for what the man had done to him.
"Yes, Bi. Alin was taken to Mak Armah's house to be sorted. It's okay, it's just a minor injury. Mak Armah said, enough rest and often diolesin this oil," said Alinda while showing a bottle of oil given by Mak Armah earlier.
"O Allah, thankfully there is Neng Zahra. What if there is no one, who wants to do it, try it? Neng Zahra was the youngest daughter of Abah Haji Muhajir, Neng. That, which has rice fields that are now taken care of by Mang Agus," said Bi Herni enthusiastically. He grabbed a bottle of oil that Alinda showed him.
"Oh, it's worth the guy being friendly and nice huh, Bi. It turns out that the princess of kiyai is big," said Alinda amazed.
"Yes. Here's Aunt olesin. Leave it a few minutes, end it's a bath, pray ashar continue to eat, yes." Bi Herni started to unscrew the lid of the medicine oil bottle in his hand.
Alinda nodded. She was so happy because her aunt was so attentive. Just like the mother used to be. Attention and very kind.
In the other corner, Ustadz Destaqi looked puzzled in his room. When he returned from meeting with Khanidah, he was riled because in his chest there was not the slightest bit of trembling. Of course that's the thing that said there's no sense of anything. If there is a slight vibration, then it means that he has fallen in love. But this is really different.
"How's this? There was not the slightest shiver in my heart as I looked at her face. I admit, Khanidah is indeed quite sweet with a pretty face. But, why was my chest so ordinary when I looked at her face? Is it because I really don't have any feelings for her?" muttered Ustadz Destaqi blankly looking at the ceiling of his room.
Falling in love is hard. The proof is that there are people like Ustadz Destaqi. Although from far away his sense of hearing was filled by Khanidah, but when he met, there was no love in his heart. Maybe, if he forced to stay married, the feeling of love will arise by itself. As the saying goes, long live together, a sense of love arises. Perhaps that is also what will happen to Ustadz Destaqi with Khanidah.
"That woman doesn't seem to have any feelings for me. Look, he hasn't called me yet. Hm," murmured Ustadz Destaqi as he glanced at the flat object in his hand.
"Yes! Zahra's not going anywhere, Umi! Zahra runs out of teaching, goes straight home. Not intentionally meet someone who is getting a disaster. Zahra please because she's in trouble." There was a faint sound of the youngest brother outside the room. It looks like there is chaos. Hearing from his tone, Zahrani was explaining what he had done earlier.
"What's wrong? It seems I have to get out" said Ustadz Destaqi, who then stepped out of the room.
"Who is that woman? And, what misfortune did he get?" investigate Nyai Hajah Suranih who continues to corner his youngest daughter. He is indeed sensitive, always afraid of his daughter participating with improper association.
"His name Alinda. He's new here. His nephew Bi Herni with Mang Agus. On the road, Zahra found him falling because he was being chased by the lone son of the lawyer Sanjaya. Finally Zahra stopped first, helped her stand up and took her to Mak Armah's house. Fortunately, Aa Maher was willing to take responsibility. It looks like he is in love with Teh Alinda" Zahrani explained in detail.
"Why could that be? What's Maher chasing after that woman?" tanya Ustadz Destaqi who is now in the middle of Zahrani and Uminya.
"Don't know. Maybe Aa Maher is in love. But, Teh Alinda herself did not know Aa Maher. After all, that Alinda Tea wears a niqab. His face must be invisible" replied Zahrani.
"Yes, it looks like the woman we just saw on the street, Mi. If you can't see his face, how can Maher fall in love?" ustadz Destaqi.
"Falling in love is not necessarily from the face of the times, A. That face is not a benchmark. If there is love, by looking at his eyes can immediately fall in love. Or maybe fall in love with his character and personality," said Zahrani who now feels like love.
"Oh, so yeah. But, it seems a little complicated. Usually, the first face makes you fall in love," continued Ustadz Destaqi with a nosy smile.
"It's different, A. Alin tea is so beautiful. Zahra herself had seen her face without the niqab. Real pretty. I don't wear the niqab, it looks beautiful in my eyes. Anyway, if Aa meets him, it will definitely fall in love," said Zahrani at length.
"Hust! Your father already has Khanidah! It is impossible to be challenged," asserted Nyai Hajah Suranih without objection.
Zahrani nyenges without sin while scratching his nape that does not feel itchy at all. "Hehehe, sorry, Umi. Zahra forgot."
Secretly Ustadz Destaqi imagined how beautiful the berniqab woman he had seen in the street. As Zahrani said, her eyes were very beautiful and her face was so beautiful. He believes the woman is indeed beautiful, the proof can make Maher fall in love. Yes, although this is only a presumption of Zahrani, but still makes anyone can think if Alinda does have extraordinary beauty.
"Astaghfirullah!" hiss Ustadz Destaqi shook his head and opened his eyes.
"Why, Taqi? Oh yeah, you've been communicating via WhatsApp, haven't you?" tanya Nyai Hajah Suranih full of investigation.
Ustadz Destaqi shook her head slightly and let out a heavy breath. "Not yet, Mi." Answering short and like lazy.
"Well, why not, A? Isn't this a chance for the two of you to get to know each other and understand each other's characteristics?" ask Zahrani wonder.
"Hm, to you, Deck." Ustadz Destaqi scrambled the top of his sister's head.
"That's what your sister said, Taqi. You should have exchanged news" Nyai Hajah Suranih said in support of her youngest daughter.
Ustadz Destaqi rubbed his face rough. "He hasn't heard from Taqi, Umi."
"Yes, you dong reported first. Maybe Khanidah is embarrassed to want to ngabarin first," said Nyai Hajah Suranih full of affirmation.
Ustadz Destaqi only gave a small nod and no longer responded. He himself is confused where to start if for example calling Khanidah number. Plus, he was less excited about this matchmaking.
SERIATE...
