It's up to God

Definition of Home

Everyone has their own idea about the meaning of "home". Some people think that someone is home to them. Some interpret the place of residence; the house they inhabit today. However, basically—home is the most comfortable place to live, even settle. Wherever you go, stay home. It could even be a home for someone is to go back to the divine lap of Rabbi (died).

According to Laze (a musician), when talking about the real house we can interpret it in two ways. First literally, a house is a building that we can use to shelter, under a roof. On the other hand, there is a saying that says that a house is not a home, defining a house other than a building is actually the people who are in it. How comfortable we are when we are in a place. Home for me is a place where we can really control the area, not in the arrogant sense but can freely and not feel like visitors in that place.

Same is the case with Nadira and Ammar who have their own home meaning for them. Quite a strange story, making both of them look for the most comfortable home in their lives.

The morning atmosphere in the newly occupied house by Nadira and Ammar was so cold that it punctured the sanitary napkin. Shackled in the coldness of Ali's attitude since yesterday. Decorate a fog that is so thick that it holds the entire soul. However, the morning sun greeted him with a very admirable smile.

The birds scattered in the blue sky, greeting each other. The sweet chirp is beautiful in the sense of hearing. They greeted the morning of Nadira and Ammar with peace. I forgot for a moment what happened yesterday.

Seen a quiet street atmosphere, without the noise of vehicle horns or police that interfere. Because, not a single speck of vehicle that greet around the road around their house.

To start the activity this morning, Nadira and Ammar decided to exercise by running around their house. There are trees that stand firmly there, making the environment even cooler. Moreover, sunlight penetrates between the green leaves that create warmth and coolness.

It is beautiful that all creation is from Him. There is no other feeling than to give thanks for the blessings of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. Nadira and Ammar continued walking until bathing in sweat. Do not want to lose the beautiful moment both, they also capture it by taking pictures.

"Thank you for today" Nadira said, throwing her husband her sweetest smile.

The warmth of the morning sun beat the warm embrace of the husband. Nadira really found the most comfortable home in her life, in addition to her brother who had been the home for her to go home.

"We live this life together, yes. Whatever happens to this day and beyond, may it strengthen one another and nourish the heart and mind." Ammar kissed his wife. His words were very soothing.

"Emm, can I not?" nadira said, doubtful.

"Can. What do you want to do anyway?" answer Ammar with a question.

"If my question hurts you, don't answer it, it's okay."

Nadira's sentence made Ammar turn the body of the woman who had just been married a few days. Now their eyes are clashing with each other. There are many questions that come from the eyeballs of Nadira and Ammar waiting for the question of what will be thrown from the sweet lips of the wife.

"I'm sorry if I was too presumptuous. If you may know, Kak Ali why does he hate the same umi and you?" nadira asked carefully.

"The story I know, yes," said Ammar, smiling faintly.

Nadira nodded while returning Ammar's smile.

"Khodijah is the birth name of Kak Ali. He died, exactly one year the marriage of Abi and Umi Aisyah was held. It was also with the approval of the Khodijah Union to get abi married again. Umi Aisyah is the woman of choice of Umi Khodijah because they are good friends. At first, Abi refused because he loved Umi Khodijah very much, but gradually, he realized that he was not just fulfilling the request of his late first wife, only, but there is a child who still needs the love of a mother, namely Kak Ali. However, unfortunately at that time Kak Ali was still not ready to accept the fact that Umi Khodijah was gone forever. When abi intends to marry Umi Aisyah was previously known by Kak Ali, but maybe because his mind is still injured at the departure of Umi Khodijah, Kak Ali's attitude became what it is today. He became sensitive and angry. Though actually said abi, Kak Ali was a good child, obedient, never once rude to abi. Well, as you witnessed yesterday afternoon, Kak Ali's attitude has been outrageous. However, we should be respectful and courteous to our parents, especially our fathers and mothers."

Nadira listened carefully. Ammar continued his story after arriving home.

"I'll tell you later, but can I ask you to get me some water to drink?" pinta Ammar with a gasp of breath while wiping away the sweat on his face.

Nadira quickly, immediately obeying the wishes of her husband.

A few minutes later, Nadira came back with a glass of water held in his right hand. Then, leave it to the husband to expel thirst in the throat. A glass of water was immediately exhausted in a few gulps.

"Kak Ali's rebellion almost messed up abi's second marriage. Umi Aisyah who was very sad, felt guilty. Had refused to marry abi when it happened betrothed at that time. However, Abi did not give up and continued to convince Umi Aisyah to want to be a wife and mother continued for Kak Ali. With capital basmallah, Umi also received an application for abi and sincerely became a mother continued Kak Ali."

In Nadira's head increasingly arise various questions, but left the story of Ammar until finished.

"In the end, exactly one year after the departure of Umi Khodijah, Abi married Umi Aisyah, until I was born. Brother felt abi no longer pay attention to him since our presence and felt that abi was never in love with Umi Khodijah. Though not so. The fact is that letting someone go for good is what makes Kak Ali so hard to accept our presence."

Not felt, Ammar tears dripping. Nadira crazily hugged and wiped away her husband's tears. Then ask Ammar to stop the story if by telling a story, it will only open old wounds, better the story is saved. However, with tears in his eyes, Ammar continued his story.

"Kak Ali felt that the house that had been the most comfortable place for him to go home, even became the most hated and reluctant place to go home. That's why Kak Ali decided to fly to London to forget all the pain, and learn sincerely about the loss of Umi Khodijah. Perhaps the most distant LDR is a religious difference if for mere worldly affairs, but for Kak Ali, the most distant LDR is a natural difference. Brother Ali was really hit at that time. I can understand his feelings, but not justify his attitude. I just hope that Kak Ali can really make peace with everything and accept us as his family members, plus there's you as his brother-in-law."

Feelings that stuck in the heart of Ammar seemed to disappear one by one after telling Nadira. They really are a good couple, understand each other and become solace when one of them feels sad. May their love grow stronger despite the storm.

While Nadira, immediately remembered his story with a man in the past when Ammar said, for worldly affairs, LDR is the most distant religion. Because when Nadira knew the truth that all this time he had a relationship with someone who was different religion with him, he said the sentence. Now Nadira realized that the most distant LDR is actually different in nature.
