I held But Away
45. Repatriation
After completing her study abroad, Nur gave permission to both of her adoptive parents to return to her home country
"Assalamu'aikum momy, papi" greetings Nur
"Dear wa'aikumsalam" they reply in unison
"Mom, papi, Nur wants permission to return to Nur's home country, because Nur's business there has developed enough, and Nur decided to take care of it" explained Nur
"Don't you want to linger here first baby?" ask Nurma
"Sorry mom, it looks like Nur has to practice the science that Nur has been looking for all this time"
"Well, may you succeed always dear" Rahman replied
"Thank you mom, pi" Nur replied
"yes baby, but what are your efforts here?" ask Nurma again
"There will be Nur's friends who take care of mom, and Nur will definitely come here often to visit you" said Nur and hailed by the two married couples
After getting permission from his adoptive parents, Nur also informed his two college friends in the group
"Sister Rara, Sisi, I say goodbye to return to my home country, I will settle there" he said
"Then what are your efforts there, Nur?" rara Balas
"There's Sisi's brother who takes care of it for a while, right, sis sisi?" retort
"Yes Nur, I just thank you for believing in me" Sisi replied
"Either. Then I say yes all, in the afternoon my flight schedule" he replied
"Be careful Nur, surely we will miss you" Rara replied
Nur smiled at the message from his 2 friends
"Thank God, you bring good people to me" he said, preparing the things he would bring back to his home country

On the other hand, Azam had arrived at his parents' residence
"Zam. papa wants to talk to you" said his papa
"Yes pa" he answered
"As you heard yesterday by phone, that papa will match you with one of papa's friend's children" he explained
"There's no buts Zam, she's a good girl, you trust your parents" she said, with a nod from Azam
After Azam returned to his room, he saw the screen of his phone that saw a picture of a girl smiling
"O Allah why is it not Nur who is the soul mate of the servant"
"Why should I accept an arranged marriage with someone I don't know, O Allah" he said again, unaware that tears had trickled down
"I'm sorry, Nur, I've hurt you"
"I should never have approached you, if I had to leave in the end"

The same thing with Nur who is currently still busy with the items he will carry, comes across a book and prayer beads that he keeps well. Yes it was a gift from Azam
"O Allah why it hurts to remember his words yesterday" he said by holding the bagbih
"Deliver this heart, O Allah" he asked with tears
"Nur.. dear" call someone from behind the door.
Nur wiped and wiped his tears
"Yes mom" she answered by opening the door to her room
"Darling are you ready? your flight is 1 hour away" Nurma said
"It's mom, it's Nur ready" Nur replied
"Well come on, papi's waiting downstairs"
"You take good care of yourself there, baby, momy and papi will definitely miss you" Nurma said by hugging her favorite foster child
"Definitely mom, Nur will also miss you" Nur replied and immediately hugged her momy
"Greetings to your parents and sister, baby, later if there is free time we will visit you" said Rahman
"And this is a gift from us to them" he said again
"Thank you mom, pi. Already love Nur like your biological children" said Nur thank you
"Beloved one another" Rahman and Nurma replied in unison
