Hijrah Me Because of You
THOSE EYES
five days later after Eldrich decided to convert to Islam
" You want to give thanks, eat that you mean?" Ali asked when Eldrich proposed that he wanted to make a thanksgiving event with all the employees in this office and invited some important people from other companies to strengthen the cooperation relationship.
" Yes how do you think about it, you can also invite your family, right, this is a good opportunity to strengthen our friendship as friends, and I will take my grandmother.."
In Eldrich's dictionary the point is, so that he can see Maira for the second time and also get to know his family so that he can know what the Maira family is like so that he can later realize his dreams, well even though his intentions were a little off the mark but he meant it to the girl, he wanted the girl to be his soulmate, and how much he prayed every night for it, he hoped God would allow this meeting.
What is clear at its core is just the mode of an Eldrich_
" That's a good thing, so do you have a place or wishful thinking about the show?" Ali asked curiously at Eldrich's plan.
" Already, even I have prepared the place, the invitation, I have also determined the date of the event, he said, and most importantly I have told all employees of the company to come to the event on Friday night Saturday, where the show will start at 18:00 Wib we will pray together for Muslims and for non-Muslims can keep waiting at the hotel, the core event will start after isya' how...??" Clearly Eldrich at length eagerly asked for an opinion from Ali.
Ali was just silent, speechless, in Ali's heart if it had been planned why just now ask his opinion, aishh basic this child.
" If you have planned why just ask for an opinion... Fuckin.." Ali stepped back to his room.
" Hehe... Sorry brother, you're busy..." Eldrich grimacing.
Tomorrow is her H day, so everyone today is busy because of the Saturday-week holiday Weekend so Eldrich told all his employees to maximize their work today.
___
At 16:00 WIB
Eldrich slightly ran to his room, he had not prayed ashar had finished the meeting he did not have time to stop by the mosque because he was so tired, he was so tired, actually Eldrich knew as busy and as tired as it was he should not leave the prayer even though it was not too late a minute but he was already feeling very lost now, he hoped Ali had not prayed so that he could pray together,
No no no... The sound of Eldrich's pantofel shoes was loud as he ran a little louder than he had....
Brakkk..
"Astaghfirullahal...." Ali was shocked when he heard a loud door slamming the wall.
"Eldricht... Ah almost had my heart out, "" Ali's voice sounded so shocked, his hands were holding his chest, his heart was pounding at the moment, he was squatting to calm himself down, then stood shut his MacBook.
Eldrich tried to catch his breath again.
" Afwan (sorry) brother, a. has brother prayed ashar?if not let's congregate with me .." asked Eldrich with slightly wheezing breath.
" Not yet, let's pray together and next time just call me don't run like that again and bang the door, my heart is weak... It's still good not to come out, if I have a heart attack how? I'm not married yet.." Ali grumbled as she passed to the bathroom.
" So quickly marry brother and make me uncle..." Shouted Eldrich from outside.

after praying, the two continued chatting about many things about work until Eldrich several times asked about Islam which he did not understand until the sun sank, then Maghrib prayers congregated at the mosque and returned home after dinner.
Today has been a very tiring day for Eldrich not only for him but for all the office employees who have worked hard to complete the work that should be taken care of Saturday, after returning home Eldrich slumped his body for a moment and closed his eyes but when his eyes were closed suddenly the face wrapped in a veil owned by Maira flashed in his eyes.
"Astaghfirullahal'adzim, O Allah, forgive me O Allah, forgive Allah....." Eldrich Istighfar many times and begged for mercy, should not he think of a girl who is not yet lawful to him realized he was not the one who was free to think of anyone and do anything as he pleased, he now has rules and regulations that he must obey. And again Maira is not a careless girl that he can think of even he misses as good as his heart.
Suddenly he remembered one of the words in Maira's book that he read the other day.
_No word as beautiful as do'a,
no verse as beautiful as dzikir,
In the shahdu prostration
I offer my thanks
For Your Grace and Grace_
If every word is prayer then I just want to say, may God make you a complement to my soul space, making the lantern of faith in my soul as bright as the sun, and to be the woman I will invite to fight for the religion of God, murmured Eldrich.
That night Eldrich went through with the shahdu through prostration in tahajud that he did just to ask that God not shake his newly built faith and pray for his family in Germany and his grandmother was given health and longevity and gave him the opportunity to his family to apologize because all this time he had a lot of harm, especially to his father and mother.
The morning after the dawn prayer Eldrich did not sleep again as most people do, but instead he went to his private gym room, again he was grateful God gave him more treasure, until he can make a gym room for himself if not for sure he must bother to a public gym and pay for it, of course,
Good life, good life
God I want to thank You for the good life
I want to wake up in the morning with the sun
Wear a smile, go out and have some fun
Going to take away the worries on my mind, oh
Put them to one side
'Cause everyday is like a brand new story
With unwritten lines
And no matter the weather
It's going, going to be alright
While playing Eldrich listening to Harris Jung's song Good Life, he also occasionally sang lyrics after lyrics sung by the English singer with enthusiasm.
7:10 Wib Eldrich ended his gym, actually his body still wants to chat with the tools in the gym to burn the fat in his body. Since arriving in Indonesia he has rarely gym because early in the morning he had to go to the office and always wake up late, too late, while in New York he always spent 2-3 hours every day in the gym.but since he converted to Islam he never woke up late again because every 4 hours he would wake up to pray tahajud and morning prayers at 5.
The fresh taste of the running water in his throat felt very cold and delicious.
"Alhamdulillah" he murmured.
"El have you had breakfast?" Asked her grandmother who suddenly came from the direction of the family room.
"not yet have I touched the rice, Grandma,,,"
"Then let's have breakfast together"
"let's gooooo.." Eldrich tailed behind his grandmother.
at the dinner table__
"grandma's got a lot of ya,,,"
The moment his grandmother's hand wanted to take him the rice Eldrich hurriedly prevented.
" W-wait, hold on hold first grandma, I have to diet grandma, my diet has been very irregular since first came to Indonesia, so grandma let me take it myself yes,," pinta Eldrich smooth.
" Ah base.., but not too little you can be skinny," his grandmother scolded.
" Granny, this isn't skinny but muscular look at my sixpack stomach, my burly arms, and my chest muscles... Wahhh perfect once if I go out without wearing clothes surely the girls will scream hysterically.." Eldrich unceasingly praised his muscles while showing them to his Grandma, no morals.
" It's true you're not wearing clothes, shameful issh, already there eat choose your own food..." Said his grandmother was not out of thought with the behavior of his grandson this one.
After breakfast, he took a shower, today Eldrich is wearing a casual dress short white shirt and then he combined with a Denim jacket and jeans and do not forget also casual shoes output Gucci did not forget also glasses complement his eye. After being ready Eldrich down to the garage.Today his goal with a casual look is to walk around Jakarta alone without being escorted he wants to today explore places that he had not had time to visit.
" Arne. Where are you going," cried his grandmother as Eldrich was about to walk out of the Mansion.
" I want to go for a walk, grandma want to come?" Ask Eldrich.
" Ah no, yes already be careful remember this Indonesia is not new York so do not speed the speeding.." message his grandmother.
"Haha alright grandma, oh yeah grandma don't forget tonight there's an event, choose a nice dress I've bought some...." Shouted Eldrich who was already in the doorway.
08:00 Al faroughi family mansion
" Sister, is tonight really the show?" Maira asked Ali who was busy with her laptop.
" Yes our family is invited, you must also join Mai," Ali replied without turning his head
" Is there going to be a lot of people?, if I come with I definitely have no friends to talk to, you must be busy with a lot of company guests," said Maira moody.
" There will be Umi, relax aja later brother sepetin time to nemenin you around the hotel Mai, tau ga hotel is very luxurious and high class, you nyesel if ga come, tau ga hotel, also bring your camera there must be a good view" said Ali trying to convince Maira.
"Emm.. okay, but brother Promise yes..later accompany Maira"
"Yes promise" Ali rubbed his sister's head in anxiety.
Before long Abi and uminya nimbrung, they began to talk about Eldrich's office and his party and the progress experienced by Abinya's business, but in the middle of the conversation suddenly Ali's mobile phone rang.

Her abi who understood immediately nodded.

" From the little boy's rancid." replied Ali briefly,
" Huh??...." Maira frowned, her frown,
"Yes big brother seriously, this is a very big boy...." Holding back his laughter.
" Owh... Yes," Maira agreed with her innocent look who knew nothing.
Ali who saw that his laughter exploded instantly.
"Bha.ha ha ha ha...,,,"
" Why..." Maira seemed confused because her older sister suddenly laughed,,,
"No, why is sister brother innocent once huh?" wrathful Ali while pinching Maira's cheek,
" aww... Brother is sick, basic ish "the owner certainly does not want to lose and..
Buk..buk...
3 blows landed on Ali's right shoulder.

" Na'am (yes ) wa'alaikumussalam warahmatullahi wa barrakatuh"
_____________________________________
It's time for dinner, but if called by ordinary dinner is too big, everything in the decor is very luxurious you could say this is a formal company event because many important people who come.
Eldrich of course greeted the guests with friendly important guests, many of whom brought his family practically all, and there was one thing that made Eldrich uncomfortable, that is, many of the important guests were flocked to introduce their daughter after knowing that Eldrich was single and not married even a boyfriend did not have.
To be honest Eldrich wanted to run away from it, really the gaze of the daughters of his guests was full of wanting to eat it, and in the end he left the table on the grounds of wanting to greet the other invited guests.
"sir, before I want to apologize because maybe this is not polyte, but I have to resign from this table to greet other invited guests, do you all mind if I resign for a moment..." Eldrich said politely
Meaning: master before her I want to apologize for maybe this is disrespectful, but I have to resign from this table to welcome the other invited guests, do you mind if I resign for a while.
" Ah of course Mr. Eldrich, please..."
Eldrich bowed his head slightly in a sign of respect then walked away from the table.
Finally he was free, now all he had to do was find Ali, because soon the Maghrib.
When Eldrich was in a daze looking for where Ali suddenly there was a very familiar voice in his ears calling his name..
" El is here..." Call that voice.
Eldrich knew whose voice it was, but when he turned his eyes inadvertently clashed with someone who had always made his soul tremble.......
