Among Thousand Journeys

Umrah

Drama is a work habit

drama, I did not follow the drama then blamed the others, but obviously it was very inappropriate

with my conscience, the money I eat, eat

my wife's child, being blood, washing hearts, becoming flesh, I imagine, if children

my wife feeds from the work of mendrama, which is not lawful, I imagine my son will be difficult to advise, my wife will be a stubborn person, ah I can not imagine it, I can not imagine it, and it feels like just going home.

But I'm already in Saudi, haven't studied yet,

moreover, departure to Saudi money I have to change, because my departure fee in

PJTKI.

Thursdays, holidays, best to sleep, on a normal day where I have no work, then

don't expect me to get overtime, while the others are on overtime.

After breakfast, get ready for bed

sound.

“What's the mas?” muhsin Voice.

“Ya used to sleep.” I answered lazily because it is

half sleeping.

“Gak overtime?”

“Ah where there is overtime, what would

defused?”

“Umroh yuuk.”

“Umroh? Ah ndak have money, want umroh wear what?” my answer.

How to umroh, salary has not been accepted, ah there-there is a Muhsin. I continued to sleep again, but in a moment it sounded again, I picked up.

“Mas I've been in front of the room.” sound Muhsin.

“Iya I briefly opened.” because my room is key, I have moved rooms from the room with a person who only has one key, moved to a room that has two keys, along with Madurese. My room is open.

“Ayo mas umroh..., still sleeping?” ask Muhsin.

“Iya..” I replied with squeaking eyes, as glare by light entered the room, be advised in

Saudi Arabia if the morning sun is already hot kayak in Indonesia at noon.

“Ayo get ready.” take her.

“I don't have any money.” I said.

“Leave aja kok mas.., that's the taxi

waiting in front.

“This is serious.?” my many.

“Yes is..”

“But I don't have umroh clothes.”

“Udah I'm ready’in all, just bring a change of clothes.”

“Yes if so I take a change of clothes.” I said

while walking to the closet, grab a bag and

put in a change of clothes, soap and toothpaste.

“Trus tomorrow working saturday how is it?”

my many.

“Kan departs from here morning, tomorrow at this hour

arrived in Makkah, then noon Friday’at

going to Mecca, it's three o'clock

it's here, take a break

saturday can already work.” explained Muhsin.

The taxi was outside, and inside

the taxi already has Munif, an Indo and a driver

Raju, a taxi driver is also a factory worker, who also

umroh mau.

Car speeding, pointer

the speed to the knock, what I like in Saudi is that there are no jams, straight roads, and not many turns, and there are no toll roads, all

roads are more toll than toll roads in Indonesia.

If we are honest, it is the Saudi government

the reality of the land is barren, excellence

more than Indonesia, from which there is almost no corruption, cheap cars because without taxes, BBM also seReal can be two liters, meaning a liter if

calculated rupiah only one thousand two hundred rupiahs,

there are no stories of gas stations guarded by police, nor are there any police officers on the road, the poorest and most violent people have cars, let alone the rich.

The Saudi government is very concerned

just like its people, there is no way an outsider can do business or open a business in Saudi Arabia

Because the King does not want his people to be colonized by a foreign nation, which is great everyone has an ATM, and money from the government goes directly to the destination of the person to be given, without passing anyone.

It was the month of fasting, so many people left

umroh, on the road we found many family groups.

The night is getting late, the taxi car is still on the move, and,

suddenly the tire erupted, fortunately the car directly

get off the highway, and on the side of the road just

sand, and fortunately also fitting near us there is a tire replacement workshop, in Saudi it is no tire patcher, the existence of a tire replacement workshop, if the tire is flat, immediately replaced a new one, the, and amazingly the replacement of all from the removal of the bolt to the removal of the tire all use an automatic machine, so the removal until the tire is replaced by a new tire takes at least six minutes, even Muhsin who goes to the restroom, first the tire is replaced and the car is ready to go.

In Saudi also the interest of the people about the road is very much considered by the government, from the many mountains that are drilled for the path through to become a tunnel in the hull of countless mountains, from the mountain, so that the road can be shortened no need to circle the mountain, and the road is smooth, smooth, good, but there is no toll road, no pull here and there, the road between cities, can speed it so much, he said, not wearing jammed at all.

“This is two TKI people coming from

Indonesia, originally via Riyad airport, but

redirected to Jeddah.” airport Muhsin said.

“Kok can be so?” many wonder.

“Yes, this goes with a lot of people

umroh in the month of fasting, how good is mas?” ask Muhsin.

“Continue pick-up from factory no which

in Jeddah?”

“No mas, yes have to take the bus by yourself from

Jeddah.”

“Wah if it is like that yes bother, TKI it is for sure

no real money, right?”

“Iya also mas.., hence I was confused..,”

“Have a friend who is not in Jeddah? Quite

near airport?” my many.

“There's mas, try me contact.”

“Iya good so, have him buy a bus ticket to Jizan, surely the two TKI was also not able to

arabic, buy your own tickets, definitely not

can.”

“Iya mas..” replied Muhsin, who contacted

friends through hp.

“It's been a while, my friend has been able to

pick him up at the airport, and buy him

tickets, later let the ticket be replaced the same

company.”

“Ya sukur then, let's just not exist

hitch.”

At eight o'clock in the morning we arrived at Yu lam-lam, and changed clothes umrah, in the bathroom queue up to long, must be patient, lack of Saudi may not pay like in Indonesia, WC may not pay, because it does not pay, then WC so there is no cleaning, all the way all WC is very dirty, not even watered, or in a clogged state, so horrified to go to the bathroom, so it is terrible, so it has to be during

the journey.
