HUSBAND'S HEART

part 65 UMRAH's

Two days passed without any discussion of Yuana's status and that of Joseph's doctor. All seemed to agree not to bring it up until each can receive with a big heart and a cold head.

All activities as usual, Yuana has also been active as a personal assistant to Ilham as usual. This time he is more extra to maintain the diet and rest Inspiration.

He did not want to be cheated again like yesterday. Although the doctor said Ilham was just exhausted, but Yuana felt guilty for ignoring Ilham's health condition a few days ago.

Yuana also acted as if nothing had ever happened, as long as no one had asked her or mentioned her. The path of his life is still long, the ideals are still far ahead and Nabila who became his encouragement in living his daily activities.

This morning started with breakfast. Ms. Fatma sat at the very end, then Ilham faced Yuana. Next to Ilham, Arief sat opposite Nabila.

"Om Arief danteng ya Mommy," suddenly Nabila interrupted praising Arief who did look fresher after changing hairstyles.

Ilham and Yuana choked together, coughed and drank water from their glasses simultaneously.

"Ciye... Ciyee..," Annisa who sat on the carpet while feeding Azyan and Norish scornful, whether addressed to whom , which Arief clearly became misbehaved, said the woman, while Ilham and Yuana look to glance at each other after the cough has both subsided.

"No, Rief. A child can judge. No matter how busy, take care of yourself, appearance is important. Moreover, you often meet clients," Ms. Fatma who had eaten quietly

Arief increasingly misbehaved, because now all attention is on him, where Nabila still smiles without sin looking at him. Because of the haircut, his employer's house became excited because of the innocence of Nabila. But he tried to divert attention by discussing the subject of Umrah.

"Yes, Mum... Oh yes, Mom, for umrah conditions, only her passport is not yet Yuana Ma'am. The picture will be with the vaccine."

"Spirits?" Yuana and Annisa simultaneously asked.

Ms. Fatma told Ilham, asking if she had not spoken about their departure. And sighed when Ilham just shook his head.

"Yes, it has been a long time since the ummah wanted to encourage Yuana to umrah. Want yes, Nduk, nemenin umroh's mother."

"Nisa's coming, Ummah," of course Annisa's sulking wanting to come too.

"You take care of the children only, later if the children have understood Umrah worship, we go to family."

"But, Mum..." Yuana felt bad for Annisa because it turned out that only she was invited to go umrah, her hands were clasping each other on the dining table.

"Already, you just follow, all have been taken care of Arief, we just leave," said Bu Fatma as she patted Yuana's hand.

Three weeks passed, all were ready to take the departure of Ms. Fatma, Ilham and Yuana. Yuana and Yusuf's doctor were both surprised when they met at the Hajj bureau office of Ustadz Al where the group bus was headed. Because each does not understand if they are invited together.

Ms. Fatma told Yuana that she had long wanted to take Yuana to accompany her mother, while the doctor Yusuf said sorry the stone could fulfill the desire of Abah Haikal to reward umrah when the doctor Yusuf converted.

Yuana thought she and Fatma were gone, but Joseph's doctor thought he and Ilham were gone.

Both of them feel awkward because their problems are not yet clear the bright spot.

It feels like Ilham said the real purpose of their departure, but Ms. Fatma forbade it before really getting certainty about Jacob and Linda.

Bu Fatma and Ustadz Al met Jacob and Linda before meeting them with their children.

Departure of Umrah groups is always in full haru and shahdu. Hugs, tears and prayers of safety filled the office before the congregation began boarding the bus one by one. A wave of hands accompanied the bus that drove slowly towards the airport.

Annisa, Mbok Sari, Pak Hadi and Arief rushed back home, not having the heart to leave Nabila, Azyan and Norish long ago. Although when they left earlier they were sound asleep guarded by Rima. The time had already shown twelve o'clock at night when he arrived home.

Meanwhile, on the bus, Yuana and Ms. Fatma sat quietly listening to the direction of the guide or companion of the group.

Doctor Yusuf punched Ilham's arm while chuckling, recalling two days ago when Bu Fatma and Ilham met with the hospital's chief to ask for the permission of Joseph's doctor to accompany Ilham to perform Umrah.

Doctor Yusuf is indeed difficult to get a leave permit, because of his childhood which he had spent a little yesterday to fight for Yuana's heart.

And Ilham had acted in such a way that the hospital chief would allow Joseph's doctor to accompany him. As a result, Yusuf's doctor did not get a leave permit but an outside service for patient assistance, and Ilham was obliged to pay the cost. Wins a lot of course for doctor Joseph, which makes him unceasingly smile wide and chuckle laughing at Inspiration.

"Currently, if only you knew our true purpose was to depart this Umrah. Look at it later, you're not just going to stop chasing after Yuana. Even you have to accept me to be a sister-in-law, hahaha..."

Of course, all is only spoken in the heart of Inspiration, because what came out of his mouth was just a whisper and turned away face pretending to sleep, even though in the end it was really asleep.

After a long immigration process at the airport, a direct flight to Jeddah for approximately eleven hours, arrived a group of Umrah pilgrims at King abdul Aziz airport.

Arriving in Jeddah, then after the immigration process and baggage arrangements, pilgrims together perform miqat at King Abdul Aziz airport guided by a muthawwif. Continue the one-hour bus ride to Makkah for hotel check-in. Furthermore, performing the first Umrah worship at the Grand Mosque was guided by muthawwif.

For five days in the city of Mecca run a series of umrah worship, Makkah city pilgrimage to thawwaf wada, both Bu Fatma, Yuana, Ilham and doctor Yusuf lived it very solemnly.

For Yuana and Joseph the physician who was the first experience of seeing the Kaaba before his own eyes, must have felt a deep, deep newness, bursting in the chest, he said, it cannot be expressed by words but by tears.

Until after completing thawaf wada, with heavy hearts pilgrims leave the city of Makkah to the city of Medina.

Yuana even cried not to leave the illegal mosque until Ilham promised to invite back next year with Nabila. After hearing the name Nabila, then Yuana realized and wanted to leave the mosque.

Five days in Makkah, only the newness and specialness of worship felt by each.

But when the bus they were riding was approaching to enter the city of Medina, there was a strange beating in his heart, different pounding he felt when on the way from Jeddah to Makkah. Suddenly he became restless which he himself did not know why.

In the morning after spending the night in the hotel which is right in front of the Nabawi mosque, with other worshippers make a pilgrimage to the tombs of the Prophet and Raudhah, then free events and worshipers can worship at the Nabawi Mosque independently.

At that time, Ms. Fatma took advantage of the opportunity. Reasoning a little tired and want to rest at the hotel, Ms. Fatma did not follow the group of pilgrims go together to worship independently at the Nabawi Mosque.

In fact, he made a pact with Ustadz Al and Ustadzah Nadia to visit the residence of Jacob and Linda.

Yuana is very enthusiastic in worship at the Nabawi mosque let alone having two peers in a group that is equally excited, of course regret the absence of Ms. Fatma this time. He hoped that after resting, Ms. Fatma could rejoin other worshipers.

By using a hotel facility car, Ms. Fatma was escorted by Ustadz Al and his wife to the district or ahya Al Jumuah which is located in the south not far from the hotel where the group was staying.

Passing the First Ring Road King Faisol then turn along Prince Abd Mouhsen ibn Abd Al Aziz Road long until when passing Halwani Syaikhah confectionery shop, I want to feel like Ms. Fatma got out of the car and into the store.

Remembering her late husband, Abah Haikal who always bought halawah and sabia for souvenirs, harissa and labneh in the store was the best he thought.

For daydreaming considering how enthusiastic Abah Haikal every tasted every typical middle eastern sweets in the store, Ms. Fatma until not realizing the car had turned and covered the row of buildings that at first glance looked similar and stopped in front of a supermarket with a large neon box bearing the name of the store.

The Indonesian Shop Al Yaquoub

At first glance the shop looks narrow, but when Ustadz Al opens the door for his wife and Miss Fatma to enter, then it looks in it is very spacious.

While following Ustadz Al who walked straight inside where the cashier table was seen, Ms. Fatma swept her eyes around the store. It can be said that the store sells a variety of well-known products in Indonesia.

"Assalamu'alaikum, Ustadz! Ahlan wa sahlan."

A tall, white-robed person greeted the three of them with a sumringah. At first glance it is not visible if the person is not an Arab. But if seen his face then all could definitely guess which descendant. If only he were younger and blameless, it would be similar to Joseph's doctor,

"Wa'alaikum salam wa rohmatullah wa barokaatuh. Ahlan bik."

Ustadz Al answered the greeting while stretching out his hands, shaking hands and hugging.

"There are important things that he wants to talk to you about" said Ustadz Al without saying stale purpose of his arrival while pointing to Bu Fatma who stood beside Ustadzah Nadia.

"Ah yes, let's go upstairs, tafadlol."

The man allowed his guest to go up to the second floor where he lived through the stairs that were right behind the cashier's desk, then he called one of his employees to replace him as the cashier.

"Bill! Astabdili. La yazal hunak duyuf."

"Both."

After making sure the employee occupied the cashier table according to his orders, he quickly followed his guests who had gone up first.

Once up to the second floor, Ms. Fatma was amazed by the living room on the floor. A luxurious carpet with a sofa facing the left and right side with pillows lined up neatly on it.

An ornamental chandelier is directly on the table. A wall-sized window facing forward that was covered in transparent curtains and thick curtains that were tied to the left and right sides. As well as a very beautiful calligraphy mounted on one of the walls.

"Please."

After allowing guests to sit, the person enters the inner room which is separated by a partition. Shortly afterwards the man returned with a hijab-wearing woman pushing a stainless steel trolley containing various snacks and drinks.

Ustadzah Nadia deftly helped the woman to arrange the dishes on the table. After that the two looked at each other staring with a newness and then hugged tightly.

"Nad."

"Linda, how are you?" tanya Ustadzah Nadia after taking off her embrace.

Nadia and Linda Ustadzah from adolescence have been friends with each other, and that friendship is what bridges Jacob and Linda's entry into Islam.

"Oh yes, Lin. This is Miss Fatma, have you known each other before?" answered by Linda, but she still welcomed the friendly hand of Ms. Fatma.

After introducing each other, Ms. Fatma also revealed her purpose to visit.

"Maybe Mr. Jacob and Ms. Linda don't remember me. But with Mr. Bramantio and the Holy Mother, you know that, right?"

Of course the question from Ms. Fatma surprised them.

"Mother Fatma knew Mr Bram and the Holy Mother?" ask Jacob, the owner of the convenience store.

"Of course, even with their only beautiful daughter, Yuana."

Hearing Yuana's name being mentioned, they were instantly convinced that it was Joanne, their daughter. Linda's body became trembling, dropping down, crying in Nadia's arms.

A name that can only be mentioned in prayer, now he heard from people they just knew.

"Yuana?" although with teary eyes, it seemed like Jacob could still control his emotions.

"Yes, Yuana. And also Nabila, little princess of Yuana."

"Yuana... Already have children?" with a trembling voice, Jacob seemed to be in disbelief. Between joy, amazement, sadness, no matter what feelings raged in his chest.

In the shadow of Jacob and Linda, Yuana or Joanne is currently busy completing her studies and knitting dreams. They did not expect Joanne to be married and have a child.

"Nad, even I'm now a grandmother" Linda said with sobs.

Ustadzah Nadia tightened her arms while occasionally rubbing Linda's arms to strengthen the heart of the friend who rarely met.

"Didn't you guys want to meet Yuana?" without asking what the details are, Ms. Fatma is very sure that Yuana is Joanne, the biological daughter of two people who are soaked in tears in front of her at this time.

Jacob tightened his jaw when he heard the question that struck his heart. Of course he wanted to, they were eager to meet his children. But...

"No. As much as possible we don't have to meet, and it's best not to let anyone know Yuana has a relationship with us."
