Holy Prison (Love For Iqlima)

Chapter 10: It's Been a Long Time!

"Fii Amaanillah Yas! Greetings Umm Wirda and Abah Uthman! " Say Yahya when Ilyas is about to enter the waiting room. Ilyas will travel by domestic air to return to Jakarta.

"Open a new page! Forget Iqlima. It won't all be easy. But I know you're capable!" Yahya again. Ilyas nodded and passed. His face is still visible.

From a distance, two pairs of eyes looked towards them.

"I understand how you feel..." Whisper Maryam hugged Iqlima.

"I'm fine, Mar! " Iqlima wiped his tears.

"But you're disappointed, right?!" Sambar Maryam's. Iqlima.

Ustadz Ilyas, this may be the last time I see you. Thank you for making me ever wish. Never come back. Iqlima's inner speech as he looked at Ustadz Ilyas who stepped away without blinking.

"After this what are your plans?"

"While I will stay at Nyakwa Nur's place in Saree, Mount Seulawah! I have to get out of Krueng Lam Kareung immediately. This morning Grandpa had already left there, he hitchhiked with Abu Zainal" Sahut Iqlima.

"Hhhh... Go then! I don't want you to do anything! Hearing of Hilman's vile deeds to you, I won't hold you back from leaving. Even if you're the one who cares about me the most! Iqlima, I will definitely miss you" Maryam lowered her head. He wiped his tears. Iqlima hugged Maryam.

"Bang Yahya... " There was the cry of a woman whose voice was familiar to Iqlima's ears. Yahya looked to. Iqlima could only observe them from afar without knowing what they were talking about. Iqlima looked at Yahya with a flat gaze. His heart was frozen. He no longer wants to hope.

Hah Hah Hah

"Don't you think Teungku Ilyas is on a plane? " Tanya Rani.

Iqlima and Maryam alight from the Trans Kutaraja Bus in front of the Aceh market gate. Carrying a large backpack, Iqlima took Maryam to the mobile phone store. This girl made a transaction there.

“This is one for me and one for you!” Iqlima handed over an android phone.

“No, I can't take it!” Maryam's voice shook strongly.

“We need this to communicate!”

“Iqlima, I already have a husband, should not I depend and burden you!” Maryam's heart is not good.

“You're married but like you don't have a husband. Accept it. Because later we will exchange news to reduce longing. Missing you, you and your son will weigh more on me than handing you this phone!” Iqlima assured. Mary received it with trembling hands.

“I've saved our number! Maryam, for a while we part here. I'm going to take the L300 towards Saree and you're back with Labi-labi to Krueng Lam Kareung” Maryam looking at Iqlima with teary eyes.

“I'll find a way to get grandfather to settle down at Nyakwa Nur's house while I'm looking for a rental house. Pray that I am safe and secure until my destination is Mar!” Maryam's tears came back.

“That is important during the trip we have to reply to each other messages to make sure that you are okay!” Iqlima agreed. They hugged again before parting ways.

"Bang Yahya's... Thank you for the ride" Rani said when they were in the volunteer's car. He went home with Yahya.

"Do you know where Ilyas came back to Jakarta today? "

"From Abu's... " Yahya nodded.

"Hmh, Bang... If you may know, when did Teungku Ilyas return to Aceh?" Ask Rani. Yahya shrugged both his shoulders. He hinted that he did not know for sure.

"Bao... Momentary bang.... That's not Iqlima? " Rani points to a woman waiting for public transport. Yahya continued to drive the car without caring about it. But somehow when the tail of his eyes saw Iqlima who was tired of carrying a lot of innate made Yahya back to rewind his car and stop right in front of the girl. He lowered his car glass.

"Get it!" Yahya's word is flat. Iqlima's expression was slightly surprised. He saw a smiling Rani next to Yahya.

"Thank you, but I didn't go back to the village today! " Iqlima.

"Where are you going? " Sambar Rani quickly.

"Hm... Wanna to.... " Iqlima looks confused.

"alright... " Yahya lifted her car glass and quickly left Iqlima alone. The girl stared at Yahya and Rani's departure wryly.

He said the teacher of the Qur'an... It is permissible not to go home so... Where are you going? What don't-don't.. Yahya's mind drifted everywhere. Think back to what he saw on the beach.

"Astaghfirullah's..." Yahya murmured again. He smiled wryly at his wild thoughts.

"Hmh no! " Sahut YahyaYahya fast. He refocused on driving.

It's been 35 minutes. Maryam was astonished that Iqlima would no longer reply to her message. He tried to think positively that Iqlima might fall asleep.

Tiiiiiinn

On the other hand, Iqlima was awakened by a loud honking sound that his car had almost collided with. He felt his heartbeat. Then looking to the right and to the left, the other passengers had already descended. Just tiggal she and a middle-aged mother.

Iqlima checks his watch. By 4pm, Maghrib was two and a half hours away. Iqlima still has to pass 2 villages to be able to reach the Nyakwa Nur residence. Because it passed through mountains and forests, the atmosphere looked so dark. The bumpy road makes the atmosphere more stressful.

"Where are you going down, son? "

"In saree bu"

"Be careful, kid! Get there straight home... The nights outside are not good for a girl" advised the middle-aged mother who had been staring at Iqlima. Then the mother went down at her destination. Iqlima. I don't know why he suddenly felt bad. The cold and humid weather of the surrounding forest makes it stand up. Iqlima is insecure. The shadow of Hilman's actions danced in the head as if making him want to vomit.

Iqlima looked around. Slender. The streets also seem empty. Nyakwa Nur's residence is indeed somewhat inland. She was estranged from the crowd and had no intention of remarrying after her husband's neck was cut by irresponsible individuals in a time of conflict in 2000.

“Pak... Lower me at the end of the road only yes!” Iqlima on L300 driver. He nodded and pulled the car over.

Iqlima has to walk through a path that is approximately 500 meters away to get to the destination. He stepped while being vigilant with the surrounding conditions.

Tap Tap Tap

The sound of feet is heard. Iqlima further accelerated his pace when he sensed that someone was following him. He did not dare to look back.

Laa Haula wa Laa quwwata

Tapp Tapp Tapp

The voice was increasingly heard clearly until Iqlima walked half-run with difficulty due to the items he brought. Iqlima almost fell. But suddenly, though,

Sreeeggg

Someone grabbed his arm.Making balance until Iqlima's body did not touch the ground.

"Yong... Release... please jangaaaan...!! " Squeak Iqlima. His echoing voice filled almost the entire forest area. He closed his eyes. Body vibrates. From the beginning Iqlima was just pretending to be tough. Circumstances that force him not to be fragile. But immediately his guts shrunk with the hand of someone he did not know. Iqlima guessed that the one holding his hand was Hilman. He just kept thrashing.

"Gssstttttt... Iqlime... It's me..." An unfamiliar voice sounded in the ears. He immediately opened his eyes and looked.

"Bang Rais...? " Iqlima's eyes were in shock. Rais's unexpected existence left him astonished.

"We don't have much time! Listen to me carefully! " Rais released the clutches of her hand.

"You're in danger! I will marry you tonight! The gold ring! We'll ask for legal protection after!" Speak Rais without stale bases.

"Ma... Tonight then? "

"Yes! Now we meet your grandfather! "

"Tttt But.... I still don't understand what bang Rais is saying!"

"Hilmanis... He's after you and he's made a plan. You are not safe! I knew it clearly! I don't want you to do anything, Hilman is a very dangerous kind of person! Tonight after we get married, I'll take you and Grandpa out of town! " Light Rais. Iqlima.

"I don't want to involve bang Rais in my problems. I also don't want to bang Rais marry me for being forced! " Luke Iqlima.

"I love you! I've liked you for a long time! I've also been planning on asking for you a long time. I think I'll ask you in the 2nd month of the maulid next month. But because of this incident, I accelerated it. Is this sentence enough to convince you, Iqlima? "

"Are you glad if it turns out I'm your husband? " Tanya Rais with a roaring soul. Iqlima who thought of his life was already vacillating, slowly finally nodded.
