LDR(Far Kangen Near Armband)

Bab7's. Choking do'a.

Today Angga woke up early. Living alone in a foreign country shapes it into an independent person.

Before bed Angga always set as many as five alarms on his phone, each has a time difference of 10 minutes from the main alarm.

Alarm that much with a difference every 10 minutes is done Angga not without reason, let alone just a fad because there is no work.

Although already living in a country people, Angga still difficult to get up early, especially to fulfill his obligations as a Muslim in the morning.

If only one alarm is set, Angga actually will also stay awake, but the wake from sleep is to turn off the alarm, after he continued to sleep again.😪 

That is why Angga had to install 5 alarms just to separate himself with a mattress.

Angga wants to get used to waking up early, especially the situation now is as a husband, a priest for the wife. 

Although now in the position of LDR, but Angga wants to get used to good habits in himself, so that later when he returns there is something different from him that can be proud of the Echa.

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

Strange!, this morning there was not a single alarm sound on Angga's phone but he had separated himself from his bed.

In a deep sleep, the mother came and shook Angga's shoulder complete with babble to wake her child. The exact same thing the mother did when Angga was home. Develop Angga every morning to get used to performing dawn prayers on time. 

When his mother began to give up, replaced with his papa who now began to shake the entire body Angga. 

It didn't work either, now it's Mama-in-law's turn with little Lila who's gonna wake her up. With two dipper filled with cold water, both prepared to pour all its contents into the body of Angga.1..2.3...

"Yinet....". Angga woke up with a body that shivered in the cold.

After all his life was collected, Angga realized, it was all just a dream.

Apparently longing Angga with family can make the imagination of the subconscious bring him to meet papa-mama, as well as mother-in-law and her little sister.

Mumpung he had woken up and the dawn had not yet arrived, Angga took a towel and lightened his steps towards the bathroom. Refreshing his body first then continuing with a wudhuk. 

It turns out that bathing in the morning can make the sleepiness disappear and go away. 

Angga wear sarong and cocoa, then take the prayer mat to then unfurled towards the qibla. Angga stood gallantly before finally lifting the takbir to face the creator.

Although rare, but at least occasionally if Angga woke up from his sleep he will force to rest before the power, even if only with two raka'at only. 

Not to forget afterwards, Angga called every good hope to his family and also his wife, Echa. He conveyed his every hope to the owner of the universe, the almighty heal all wounds, turning every sorrow into a happy smile.

At least two rakaat tahajjud already can Angga make an excuse for him to skyrocket do'a.

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

Different places at the same time, but with different situations.

A sweet girl with dimples, wearing a neat white hijab in a white-gray uniform, was enjoying her breakfast together with her mother at the dinner table.

Suddenly in the middle of his breakfast chew he choked, no bones and no one made him shocked let alone hold a laugh, but somehow his throat seemed to convey the message that he should choke.

"Why dear." Ask mother.

Echa is still trying to calm her throat can not answer the mother because her throat still needs water to just smooth the way.

"No papa mah." He replied after a little relief.

"Why can't you choke?"

"It doesn't know." Reply Echa, then continue eating again.

The mother smiled at him, "Cha.!" Call her.

Echa stared in surprise, suddenly her mother smiled. This was even stranger than him suddenly choking.

"No one remembers you and he keeps calling your name." Said the mother.

"Hey...." Echa knitted her brows, not understanding the direction of her mother's speech.

"Well, by the way, ma?, mama is no longer welcome, right??, if he Echa is afraid." He said hesitantly, afraid that the real mama kambet.

"Hush, ngaco you." Denied his mother while hitting Echa's hand slowly.

"Mama said it weird." Reply Echa who suddenly invited a decision from the mouth of the mother.

"Indeed well today's children, at school learn what the heck sampek aja ginian just do not know." 

Echa scratched his nape that did not itch, his mother why else anyway?, was talking choking, keep saying there is a name Echa, lha now even bring lessons???"

Seeing the look on the princess' face that seemed confused, Sarah happily explained.

"So gini yes dear mama leasin. Said the ancients, if we suddenly choking without any cause it means someone called our name." 

Echa seemed to think.a second later. 

"Mama Sarah, mama Sarah, mama Sarah." He looked closely at the mother. Now it was Sarah's turn to look at her son in wonder.

"It's not true, though,. Echa after that.

"What's that really???"

"So mama said if anyone mentions our names, we will be choking. Nih Echa said the name of mama three times, no mama even though choking."

A slow blow Sarah landed on her forehead "Yes not that too Cha time, he said it was not directly like gini, call it through the heart."

"Oooh," answered Echa as if understanding her mother's words.

After a pause, no more voices. "Not really, either." Echa suddenly. Sarah was even surprised.

"Astaghfirullahaladziiim.., you why again siiih." Decak Sarah stroked her chest because she was shocked by her son's actions.

"Mama's theory isn't really. Echa called the name of the mother in his heart, but there was no mother kayak Echa.

A heavy sigh escaped Sarah's mouth. The intelligence of the child is difficult to argue, as well as innocence. 

Not wanting to get dizzy, Sarah continued her breakfast. Until breakfast is over there is no more talk of choking. Whether Echa wants to believe it or not, at least Sarah has conveyed the advice of old parents for her child.

After breakfast, Echa immediately put on a bag and shoes, say goodbye to the mother, then step foot into the house next door.

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

Echa was sitting in the house with little Lila, waiting for my father-in-law to pull the car out of the garage, as well as Mama Lina who was sitting in the other seat, waiting for the husband to say goodbye to pick up sustenance.

"Tin..." One whatsapp message goes to Echa's phone. The name Angga is on the screen.

Goslings.

"Assalamu'alaikum wife😘."

M.

"Wa'alaikum hail husband🤮."

Goslings.

"Kok answer his greetings while vomiting😭."

M.

"He he he, Canda...😘."

Goslings.

"Huuu, not funny...😗."

me.

"Belvin...😝."

Goslings.

"What's up???"

M.

No more replies.., the next second Echa's phone again sounded, one video call from Angga entered his phone.

It seems Angga prefers to talk than just a word mangetikan. Moreover, with video calls he can not only listen to the sound, but also can meet face to face.

Echa raised her call.

"Assalamu'alaikum Wife..." From behind the video. Echa with all her might to endure the embarrassment. Squinting at Angga, giving him a code if his mother is next door.

Angga caught the Echa Isarat. Instead of speaking normally, Angga even more happy to tease him.

"Echa, you are getting more beautiful gini I miss, it feels like a hug." Red gush increasingly on Echa's cheeks, mixed between shame and pleasure praised by Angga, also embarrassed because the mother-in-law was sitting next to him.

"Echa let's see her to mama." Pinta Angga across there.

According to Angga's request, Echa handed her phone to Mama Lina., Lila who was in her mother's lap also welcomed the brother's chat across there. 

The three spoke together, letting go of longings that had to be separated by the distance between countries.

Soon her mother spoke, then handed her phone back to Echa. 

Echa said to the mother-in-law, it's okay if the mother wants to talk to Angga longer. But her mother refused, still handing her phone to Echa's hand, with a smile also a bit of a teasing jail,. His mother told Echa that Angga missed him more.

Echa stroked her mother's words, but her face still could not hide the red on her cheek.

"What time is it?" Echa asked a little curiously, also to remove the red tinge on her face.

"Cie, who's clocking?" 

"What the hell is not, not very clear.!"

Angga chuckled at hearing Echa's nagging.

"Cha knows....

"Don't know." Ketus Echa before Angga finished with his speech.

"Can't be told yet."

"I don't know and don't want to know."

"Oh yaudah, assalamu'alaikum."

"Well, that's it, he said he wanted a story." Echa said with a disappointed face.

"So he said he didn't want to know."

"Yes, I just said I don't want to know, not say I don't want to hear Angga's story." 

Angga chuckled again, he understood very well with his wife, By the way he did not want to know, but still curious and wanted to be told.

"So today I pray tahajjud you know."

"Ah boong, people pray at dawn aja hard to build, want to sokan pray tahajjud." Echa said with his piety. Angga waved his lips, paled with the expression of the wife.

"Ish, I don't really believe in the same thing as me," upset Angga.

"All ten uluuuuh, do not even doong, otok otok otok, cuami ciapa the hell is handsome...😚" Tempt Echa by imitating the voice of a small child.

Although the feeling is still upset, but Angga still can not not not pull both corners of his lips, Echa is funny.

"Telus finished tahajjud, Angga do'a what." The word Echa still mimics the voice of a child.

"I'm really mad you're Cha."

"Tracked cih." Reply Echa again, his eyes he blinked a few times. Angga could only sigh across the call.

"Yaudah, so that was abis tahajjud Angga do'anya whatever." Reset Echa.

Angga continued his story. "Abis pray yes I do'ain our family."

"Yes, do'ain how, mintak anything."

"Ehmm is, anyway her prayer which is certainly good. But there's a name I call special in the do'a."

"Who is it?" Reply Echa sok cuek, but her heart again awaits the name that her husband calls in the do'a, hopefully it is his name.

"Ehmmm, want to know or want to know really."

"Know it." Reply Echa sok cuek.

"Oh yaudah, it means not being told to know nor papa, would you want to know just don't want to know very well."

"Ish kasi knows why." Ketus Echa is upset. The mama and Lila who were sitting at the side laughing saw Echa upset.

Echa was ashamed of himself, but afterwards still asked Angga to tell the name he mentioned in his prayer.

"So whose name you call in do'a." Echa whispered by diverting from the two people sitting not far from her side.

Angga stumped a smile. Echa called Angga elo, a call they had not used for a long time. It seems like Echanya is really upset, maybe in a moment it will be a big upset. So before that happens, Angga better answer his question, stop the evil in his wife.

With a cheerful face, Angga said. 

"In do'a Angga call the name Echa, Angga mintak so that Angga's wife is happy forever, God grant all his hopes, become a righteous wife also be a friend of Angga to get to heaven later." 

A red tinge on Echa's cheek, she also guaranteed the do'a Angga in the heart, but still the prestige of acknowledging the romance of the husband.

"Ah, may..." Reply Echa with a smile that he can still hold, different again with his heart that has flown through the air.

"The cha! I swear to God, I'm really angry." Sebal Angga's.

"Tracked ciiih, miapah.???" Unrelenting Echa tease. Angga's annoyed face made his heart endlessly laugh.

Before long, the papa rebuked him, they had to leave.

His papa car is ready, but Angga still does not want to decide his call, but Angga also knows Echanya must go to school, must be willing even if only briefly talking, but Angga also knows Echanya must go to school, there will still be plenty of time to say hello.

Papa in-laws at the front say goodbye to his wife, his mother Angga who is of course Echa in-laws.

After that Echa and Lila took turns to greet the mother, a kiss was not forgotten to be given on both cheeks of her mother.

...****************...

In the car, Echa recalls the words of her mother when she choked at breakfast. 

Maybe when the Angga in a state of prayer in the country there. A special mention of the name Echa when assigning a do'a to the power.

In silence in the hayal world, Echa carved a smile on her lips.

Remember because of the do'a Angga that caused her to choke at breakfast. Whether it is true or just a coincidence, but there is one that Echa wants to try. 

Echa closed her eyes, then repeatedly mentioned the two friends who most often guarded her at school. 

Echa opened her eyes again as the father rebuked her name.

"Echa!, what's wrong with you?"

"Eh, no reward, no more do'a-a-ja."

"Do'a?, do'ain who?, Angga?"

Shamefully Echa replied... Hehe, no reward, no more do'a. Echa just called Sindy the same name Salsa in the heart."

Danu giggled amusedly. "There is the behavior of the Echa, the sweet girl who almost every day plays at her house, the little girl who is now growing up as a teenager, even has become her daughter-in-law...😊

"What is the name of your friend in the do'a?" The father-in-law asked again.

"No papa, I want to." Inwardly said, that they might choke...😁."
