HUSBAND'S HEART

part 67 LUNCH IN ROMANSIAH

Along the journey of pilgrimage to the city of Medina, Yuana was saved from the burden of thought. The story after story told by the muthowif on each journey to the pilgrimage destination is listened to carefully by him. Make him more enthusiastic to visit these historical places.

While the doctor Yusuf who still had a lot of new things he heard and knew about the history of the struggle of the Prophet Muhammad made him promise to read more and learn after his return in the country. Ustadz Al is happy to hear that.

When Yuana entered the Nabawi mosque and prostrated herself on her alphabet, she immediately felt like she was a very small creature and had no power whatsoever to choose her way of life. And he felt unworthy to complain about all that was happening to him because it was the will of Almighty God.

Especially after a visit to the museum of Prophet Muhammad SAW which is in front of the gate of the eight mosques of Nabawi. The history of the struggle of Rosulullah during Medina until the end of his life. Making Yuana feel her struggle all along as an orphan widow with one child is nothing. There is still too much pleasure and ease that he gets and that he should be grateful for.

"Bismil was born rahmaanir rahiim. A’uudzubillahil karimi wa sulthaanihil qadiimi minasy syaithaanir rajiimi. Allahummaf tahlii abwaaba grace."

In earnest, Yuana recited the prayers that were read every time he entered the Nabawi mosque, according to the instructions given by Ustadz Al as a guide for worshipers.

By the name of Allah, the Most Merciful and the Most Merciful, I seek refuge in Allah, the Most High, to Him, the Most Glorious, and to His Almighty power, from the temptations of the damned Satan. O Allah, open to me all the doors of Your mercy.

Ustadz Al also asked worshipers to increase their reading of sholawat and attend scheduled science sessions at the Nabawi mosque or read the Qur'an or the books that are widely available. Do not forget to also multiply the prayers either for himself or for others.

Like the torch of the most beautiful fire, the spirit of worship of the worshipers flared up while inside the mosque, as if reluctant to go out, back to the hotel though.

Especially when you can get the opportunity to prostrate, pray two rakaat in Roudloh, the garden of the gardens of heaven, a place that mustajab to singleness of prayer, after struggling to queue every morning. There was not a single person who did not shed tears while prostrating in it.

"Don't forget to read after the two prayers, then you ask for all your wishes. God willing mustajab," Ustadzah Nadia's message while showing a page containing prayers in raudlaoh on the Umrah handbook carried by each congregation.

"Yaa Baaqiyal 'izzi wal 'azhamati, wa daaimas sulthaani wal qudrati, wa syadiidal bathsyi wal quwwati, nafidzal amri wal iraadati, wa wa waasi'ar rahmati wal maghfirati, wa rabbad dun-yaa wal aakhirati.

Kam min ni'matin laka 'alayya yaqshuru'an aysarihaa hamdii, wala yablughu adnaahaa syukrii. Wa kam min shanaai'a minka ilayya laa yuhiithu bikatsirihaa wahmii, walaa yuqayyiduha fikrii."

That is, O Eternal Glory and His majesty, The Eternal Power and His ability, the Severely tormented and His strength, which His commandments and will certainly do, The Almighty is His mercy and forgiveness, O Lord (Custodian) of the world and the Hereafter. How many favors You have bestowed on me, that I may not be able and easy to give praise to You, and will not be balanced with the low gratitude I have for You. How many gifts have You bestowed upon me, so that my desire could not reach it, and my mind could not limit it.

Yuana's tears melt unceasingly as she gathers and prays in Roudloh, the shadow of her late father and mother passing through her mind tears as she prays for them both. He was not willing if the position of the two as parents replaced by the existence of biological parents that he had not known.

Yuana also asked Allah Subhaanahu wa Taala how he should respond to the existence of his biological parents.

Currently their fourth day in the city of Medina, there are still four days left to fulfill the arbain prayer program, which is to do the fardlu prayer service for forty times at the Nabawi mosque.

And during the four days each allowed to perform worship independently, although most do it together according to the agreement of worshipers.

In general, they choose to do as much as possible in the mosque, the goal is not to be left behind a single prayer fardlu congregation.

But not a few who in the morning want to explore the city of Medina either alone or with others. As long as there are no language barriers, a companion or muthowwif will allow.

And usually used by pilgrims to take a walk to the nearest shop or mall to buy souvenirs for relatives in the country or explore a variety of culinary, typical middle eastern food.

That was also what Ms. Fatma did. From the morning after the dhuha prayer, he was excited about which shops to go to. The list of things that must be purchased has also been recorded neatly in his memo book.

Inspiration only resigned to see the habit of his mother was every in Medina. While Yuana and the doctor Yusuf who was first in the city of Medina, of course enthusiastic about the invitation of Bu Fatma. Moreover, promised to be invited to lunch at a typical middle east restaurant that is famous in the city.

Actually, Ms. Fatma had her own purpose why she invited Yuana and Dr. Yusuf to go for a walk to buy souvenirs. He targets today the need to buy this and it should be completed, then informs the two of them slowly about the existence of Jacob and Linda in this city. And he will say it at lunch.

He had to ascertain how the two felt about both Yuana's biological parents and Joseph's doctor, then Ms. Fatma could determine whether to bring them together or not, in accordance with the advice and direction of Ustadz Al. Because no matter how things go either Ms. Fatma or anyone can't impose their will on them.

With resignation Ilham followed every step of Bu Fatma and Yuana with some tentengan in his right and left hands. All are the result of hungry eyes of Bu Fatma and Yuana.

While the doctor Yusuf is not much different, but certainly in both hands is a gift that he deliberately bought himself for his extended family, the family Tanoewidjaya, the family, some of papah Rudi's nieces and some fellow doctors and nurses in the hospital.

Forty minutes into the dhuhur time, they rushed back to the hotel to put the groceries and clean themselves to wait for the dhuhur adhan. Before the Adhan, they were already inside the Nabawi mosque.

"We're looking for the best restaurant. Want an Indonesian, western, oriental or typical of the middle east?" ask Ilham when the four of them were already in the hotel lobby. He ordered a taxi to the receptionist.

"Middle east dong, far away here to find anointing," replied Joseph's doctor and quipped Ilham who was confused last night looking for vegetables anointing like people craving.

"There's an oriental restaurant here?" yuana asked in surprise.

"Yes a lot."

"Well, just take a shower, Ham. Inspiration can eat goats, right, Suf?"

"Maybe, Ummah. Better to eat the goat's food," continued Joseph's doctor who returned the fist of Inspiration that led to him.

Yuana was also giggled to see the jokes of the two men who unwittingly began to love him.

While in the taxi they discussed the desired menu, finally as soon as they entered the door of the restaurant, Ilham invited the others to walk to the right towards the stairs to the second floor where the dining area was located.

Ms. Fatma looked for an empty jar or a dining room in the eyes of Yuana and Dr. Yusuf like cubicles in the offices, while Ilham headed to the cashier's desk to order food.

Lahmun baths, dajjaj biryani, pistachio kunafah, samosas, churros, mixed salads and orange and pomegranate juices.

Yuana and Ms. Fatma sat by the window, so they could enjoy the view on King Abdul Aziz Street. Rows of date palms lined up neatly in road markings, traffic is quite quiet when compared to in the country. Several apartment buildings and shops were also seen from him sitting.

The weather is quite hot and hot to see outside, very typical desert areas in Arab lands inversely proportional to the conditions in the room that is quite cool because it is air-cooled.

Ms. Fatma was quite satisfied with Ilham's choice of restaurant this time, because the atmosphere was very supportive of her intention to discuss about Jacob and Linda to Yuana and doctor Yusuf.

With doctors Yusuf and Yuana in sight, the chin-backed Yuana enjoys the view outside and the doctor Yusuf sitting down near the entrance of the room plays a device in his hand.

Indeed there is a very noticeable resemblance if considered although of course there are differences because of the male version and the female version. Eyebrows, equally straight but belonging to Joseph's doctor were slightly thicker. The slightly narrowed eyes at the ends, the little rounder Yuana's. Nose, doctor Yusuf is exactly like Jacob while Yuana looks more like Linda. The skin color is the same even though the tone is lighter than Yuana's.

I can't wait for Ms. Fatma to unite them as she should. Such was Ms. Fatma, a gentle woman who was embraced by the generosity of Abah Haikal, her husband. Always the totality of helping others.

Inspiration followed into the room of the widow. After he sat down, he was like Joseph's doctor, opened the screen and dissolved into it. Ms. Fatma could only sigh at the two.

"Job, just for a moment, Ummah," Ilham glanced as his mother cleared her throat. Yuana only glanced at him for a moment and then looked out the window again.

"Mom, do you know the Tanoewidjaya family?" yuana asked Ms. Fatma, in a soft voice almost muttering in fact.

"Who does not know the Tanoewidjaya family, among their business people is quite popular. But I just know, don't know."

"If Yuana is really the granddaughter of their family how is it?"

"Yes not how-how, Nduk. We cannot choose from whose womb we are born, from whose seed we are created. But we can choose to be filial or not. That'sthat's all. Just ask your conscience, what kind of child do you want to be?"

"But Yuana was calmer with Yuana's life all along, Mom. Yuana definitely could not adjust to the Tanoewidjaya family. What better is it like this, like the wishes of Yuana's biological parents, let's just say they never existed, and Joanne is not Yuana, so that Yuana can live quietly," Yuana like muttering to herself, as she said, it was heard by Dr. Joseph.

"Then what about me? Either way we have to find them, let it be clear, not floating like now. So that I can really stop chasing you," Joseph's doctor always emotionally heard about his biological parents.

He actually wanted to hear that everything was just an illusion, just a prank. But it is impossible for people like Papah Rudi to lie, as well as official birth certificate documents belonging to Yuana and her.

Yes, Joseph's doctor only realized that his birth certificate was not the real one when Rudi asked him to see the date the deed was issued. The birth certificate that came out when he was six years old. When papa Rudi brought the little doctor Joseph who suffered from depression out of the big house that traumatized him at that time. Birth certificates issued with the power of money of course.

"Well, the food has come!"

Shortly after, food was delivered by one of the restaurant staff, according to order.

"Obrolannya dipending first yes, we focus on thanking the blessings of God that is in front of the eyes, okay?"

At first, Joseph's doctor was confused by how to eat two large dishes of bath rice and biryani in front of him today, but then he who finally the most frenetic scramble the last side dish on the plate.

"Enak ya? Hungry what doyan?" suduk Ilham because he lost quickly with the doctor Joseph.

Yuana held back a laugh, covering her mouth that was still full of rice with her hands.

While Ms. Fatma reviewed the smile to see the furore of her three children fighting over food like a child. Maybe because of this experience the three of them ate together from the same plate.

Inspiration piled two dishes that had been used up, then collected the crumbs that were scattered due to the scrambling action earlier and put them to the edge of the room and cleaned hands with water that had been prepared. Change the snacks and drinks that he shifts to the middle.

"Please, Ummah. Time and place are welcome" said Ilham as if he was a moderator of a discussion.

Ms. Fatma who knew the meaning of the words of Inspiration also looked at Yuana and Doker Yusuf alternately, trying to string the right sentences to convey his purpose.

With some consideration finally Bu Fatma prefers to speak directly to the point, which makes doctors Yusuf and Yuana excited to hear it.

"Have you met Jacob and Linda."

"When?"

"Where?" yuana and Dr. Yusuf asked simultaneously.
