HIJRAH LOVE
Welcome to

"Assalamu'alaikum, Umi-Abi." Ahtar grinned.

"Wa'alaikumsalam warahmatullahi wabarakatuh." I answered along with Yulian and Arjuna.

"Not that, you said to Umi that there is still a task that makes you have to go home last night? But, why have you arrived here, Ahtar?"

"It turns out Ahtar was wrong in providing information, Umi. Ahtar is just this loving." Ahtar also handed him a piece of paper.

A neatly folded sheet of paper makes me feel curious about the contents inside. Not only me, but Yulian and Arjuna also felt curious. So the three of us read it together as Yulian opened the paper plan. And the content surprised us, where Ahtar has graduated with very good grades, even the best. Not only that, Ahtar also got a scholarship to study abroad with a major that he had dreamed of. And it makes me feel proud as his parents for all the achievements obtained so far.

"Goodbye, because your dream has been achieved." I gave a hug to Ahtar.

"The hero Abi always boasts." Yulian patted Ahtar's shoulder softly.

"Abang proud of you, deck. May what is your goal always be made easy to fulfill it with God." Arjuna gave a hug.

We were really happy that afternoon, plus the presence of Hafizha in our residence. Because that afternoon Hafizha will stay with us forever. However, I do not know, can I accompany Hafizha until He grows up later. And the secret I still hold tightly inside. Just an apology I still want to say to them especially, Yulian. Because I'm not ready to tell you everything.

"I'm happy to see you guys laughing." Reveal me inwardly when I see Yulian laughing with her two sons.

"Excuse me, Umi Aisyah!"

Instantly, my daydreams spread as Jessica appeared to greet me. I hadn't seen him for a long time and now I see the change in him. Admire her new look and thank God for Jessica being a Muslim. He even wore a hijab, which covered his beautiful crown as a woman.

"Alhamdulillah, if you have established your heart to return to God. Umi can only pray that you will become a woman who istiqomah later." I gave a smile to Jessica.

"I know him through Umi, and I wish I could be as special as Umi Aisyah." Jessica looked at me smiling.

"And Umi says welcome to your new life, Jessica!"

Not long after that the conversation between me and Jessica had to stop when Ahtar came to me. The gaze looked so solemn but, there were thousands of tears held within his eyes. And it makes me wonder what is and why? Then I asked Ahtar to speak with only four eyes, so that I would know what made him give me that look.

"What's wrong? Umi saw the deep gaze of your pair of eyes, Ahtar? What am I hiding? Say it!"

Under a tree that grew large, the leaves covered the grass below and coupled with the wind blowing slowly. There I was with Ahtar speaking like a mother to her son and like a friend who had to understand his position. Being two professions at once sometimes makes me not easy, because I have to really understand my son's feelings. But I have to be able to give him whatever is best. Including this afternoon when I was with him.

"Ahtar heard everything, the conversation between Umi and Mama Arumi that morning. And that made Ahtar unable to get far from Umi, let alone receive the scholarship. There's no interest anymore." Ahtar lowered his head.

I stared fixedly at Ahtar's face which she slowly lifted then, returning my gaze. And slowly he nodded his head to accept my wish which might have been difficult for him. In fact, her tears were now unstoppable as she suddenly hugged me tightly. However, the tears were instantly dragged by her after seeing Arjuna and Yulian coming towards us. And Ahtar also had to do this charade I had made.

"What's this?"

"Abi's habit, Ahtar spoiled Umi." I throw a smile.

"Ahtar just thought it could not be far from Umi, if Ahtar received the scholarship. But, Umi asks Ahtar to be a man who grows up with an adult attitude. So, Ahtar hugged Umi for a while before Ahtar was away from Umi." Clearly Ahtar smiled with a grin.

Ahtar immediately made Yulian and Arjuna laugh, so that there was no suspicion in their minds about what Ahtar and I had just talked about. And our topic was diverted after I saw Yulian holding Hafizha. My sorrow has also been healed for a moment by the presence of Hafizha in our midst. After that, I asked Yulian to immediately bring Hafizha home, because the weather that afternoon suddenly looked bad. The clouds began to blacken, starting to darken the city of Medan that afternoon. I'm afraid that the effects of rain will affect the health of the little Hafizha.

"Come on, we'll be home soon! Scared if, the rain will soon fall." I stared at the blackened ceiling.

"All right! Then Arjuna, you take the car. And Ahtar, are you coming with us or...?"

"No, Bi. Ahtar take the motor." Ahtar showed his motorbike parked not far from us standing.

Not long after Arjuna came while carrying a car that was used as a vehicle home for us. And after Yulian and I entered our BMW, Arjuna drove at a moderate speed. Ahtar, who was riding his motorcycle, followed our car from behind. Until we got home at the same time, and our presence has all been welcomed by bik Inem, Cahaya and Arumi.

"Welcome!"

When I opened the door, the sound of the welcome cry I heard was full of joy. And it comforted me so much and I thank God that I said in my little heart, "Alhamdulillah, you are happy for the presence of Hafizha in this house. Especially you Arumi, although you often try to stop my desires, but there is no hatred for Hafizha, this innocent little baby."

The welcome is done very simply, there are only a few needs that have become customary here. At once our house was filled with happy laughter to welcome Hafizha. Even the welcome to Hafizha was spoken alternately by them while kissing the Hafizha I was still carrying. After that, I decided to lay Hafizha down on her bed, where Yulian and I had already prepared the room for her to sleep soundly.

"Welcome, Hafizha. Now, you will be my little princess. May you grow with the glory within you. May God take care of you!"

I also kissed Hafizha softly with affection. And before I put him to bed, I held him for a moment. When I cradled her, it flashed back about Khadijah's trust and face that was reflected from the figure of Hafizha's face. And it makes me miss Khadija, who knows where she is right now?

"Khadija, if you see him now. Surely you will be happy and also love her with the love of a mother. But, you left him alone," I said inwardly.

"Square."

Slowly the door to Hafizha's room was opened slowly from the outside. I don't know who's going to go inside, because that guy won't come in and see me. I wonder who is behind that door?
