HIJRAH LOVE

HIJRAH LOVE
Amanah And Khadijah?


"Mother Ratih?"


Immediately I opened my phone screen slide to confirm the message written from Mrs Ratih. The middle-aged woman I thought of as my own mother when I first met her at the 4-star Scotsman Hotel. Then I read a short text message from him.


"Assalamu'alaikum, Aisha. Sorry if I interrupted your time. But, I want to meet you in the corridor of this hotel before I return to Indonesia, precisely the island of Java. I'm waiting here!"


For a moment I was silent while thinking why would Ratih's mom want to see me? And the message continued to fill my brain, so I could not forget and was curious about what she wanted to talk to me about. And in the end I decided to meet with Ratih's mom who might still be waiting for me there.


"Light, Umi has to go now! Because, there are important things that Umi wants to do. And if later Abi Yulian and Arjuna ask about Umi, just answer Umi out for a while." My Whisper to the Light.


"Good, Umi. But there's no serious problem, is there, Umi?"


"No, Light. You don't have to worry, Umi just wants to see Madam Ratih." I gave a thin smile behind my veil to convince Light.


"Alright then, Umi. The light will tell Abi and Mas Arjuna if they ask later." The light finally asserted while nodding his head slowly.


"Assalamu'alaikum,"


"Guilipinam,"


Without thinking for a long time I finally stepped my feet with a quick step, so that I could get to where the coach was waiting for my presence. After arriving at the corridor of this hotel, I saw the figure of a good-hearted woman standing looking behind me. And to greet him, I said my greetings first.


"Assalamu'alaikum, Mrs Ratih!"


"Waalaikumsalam warahmatullahi wabarakatuh,"


Suddenly Ratih's mom turned her body and faced me. Then, he gave a smile that seemed to want to convey something. However, I don't know for sure what it is about. Which makes me want to hear a long story from Ratih's mom. As well as the matter with Ratih's mother, he began to meet to start a conversation with me. However, it did not last long, because Mrs Ratih had to go to return to Java Island. Only a letter was given to me prior to his departure to Edinburgh Airport to make the flight.


"Be careful on the road, Coach! Insha Allah, Aisha will keep this letter and the trust that Bu Ratih gave me." I also gave a farewell hug.


"Mom trusts you, son Aisyah. Then I say goodbye first, assalamu'alaikum!"


"Waalaikumsalam warahmatullahi wabarakatuh,"


The separation between me and Ratih's mom has now happened. However, I still think of a trust that is so impossible for me to fulfill. Because it is impossible if, I can find the whereabouts of Ratih's daughter in Edinburgh which is quite extensive. Maybe I was too stupid to say it, but if my heart had a good faith, God would have brought me to Khadijah. As for the letter I still held tightly in my hand, I did not dare to open it here. In accordance with the request of Ratih's mother, where I was allowed to read this letter after I arrived in Indonesia.


"Oh my God, it actually feels so hard for me to live it. However, this trust must remain I live on Your pleasure. May You strengthen this heart to always have a good faith, O God. Aamiin!"


"Light,"


"immies? Umi is back? Have you finished meeting with Ratih's mom?"


"Already, darling. But Umi asks you very much, so that you do not tell about Umi's meeting with Ratih's mother to your Abimu and also your husband." I sat down and stared fixedly at the Light.


After I asked for it, Light finally agreed to my request to keep it a secret about the meeting I wanted to keep to myself. Then, I asked Light to be normal long before I left him alone as a spectator on the golf course.


Time passed so quickly, the silent night was now being felt as we all returned to our respective rooms. However, the silence instantly disappeared when Yulian was present and accompanied me after he had cleared his body from the smell of sweat.


"Why are you alone?"


"Emm, no. I was just thinking about The Scottish National Gallery, Mas. How about tomorrow we go there to see the various art collections?"


"Emm, okay. I'll obey everything you want, baby." Again Yulian agreed to my wish and did not forget he also gave a kiss on my forehead.


"Thank you, Mum. Because, you always agree with me." I drew a beautiful smile from my lips.


Yulian also returned my smile with a warm embrace. And not felt, the home life that I had knit with Yulian was filled with harmony in every moment. Even that moment was hard to forget so easily from within my memories. And that night I didn't go to sleep, because I still thought about the letter and Khadijah. A woman I've never met at all. Even his existence I don't know. Which makes it hard to meet him.


"Or ... would you rather ask Arumi to help me? Who knows, he could,"


Instantly I sent a text message to Arumi's number. So that night I sulked in front of my phone screen. Likewise with Yulian, he also did not immediately sleep and rest after playing golf, because at this time he was still busy with his office work. So that he sulked in front of his laptop screen to make some reports that will be submitted to one of the meetings with companies in Surabaya, the island of Java to be exact, East Java. We are also busy with our own business.


"Now I want to sleep and lay down my stiff bones." I put my phone on the nightstand.


After that, I got up from the lip of the face of the mattress and stepped towards the bathroom to take ablution water before quickly sleeping soundly. And not long after that Yulian followed me to do the same with me. After that, we finally laid our bodies on a soft mattress, which made us feel comfortable while relieving fatigue in our bodies. Before that, do not forget to Yulian extinguish the lights that lit in this room.


"Bismilbornrahmanirrahim. Bismikallah humma ahya wabismika. Aamiin!"


We also pray together before going to bed. After that, for a moment I took off the load that had filled my brain to immediately go to sleep. Because the day has dissolved, so it requires me to immediately sleep and be ready to undergo activities tomorrow. Where will I visit in the art gallery and also meet Arumi there. Which makes me feel impatient to go back to talking about a woman named Khadija, daughter of Ratih's mother with a blue-blooded male figure.


Slowly my eyes began to lock on themselves. So did Yulian, and at what hour did we fall asleep in a sleep filled with warmth behind a soothing embrace.
