It doesn't feel like one week is over. The moment Jihan and Bu Kiran will return to their beloved homeland.
But in-laws Bu Kiran did not participate, Karna Dinda wanted her mother to stay with her longer.
So the only ones who returned to Indonesia were Jihan, Bu Kiran and her husband .
********
After one week in China, Jihan's activities are back to normal.
"I feel like I miss this store a lot, but I haven't been to the store this week. "Jihan said as he opened the shop door.
"Bismil was bornrahmanirrahim, may today Allah ease our sustenance in this shop.
Jihan also began displaying the hijab statues one by one. There were still items last week that weren't finished at check.
Jihan started taking notes and checking things one by one. As usual in early June, they will visit the orphanage . Then the store will open only until 14.00 Wib.
At 10:00 Wib, Ms. Kiran came and brought some plastic bags. Which contains snacks, bread, sugar and canned milk.
"Jihan, as usual every June. Do you still remember ? "asked Miss Kiran.
"Jihan remembers dong Bu. And Jihan has prepared some kind of hijab for the orphanage children. "Clearly Jihan.
"It's good if it's like that, today we'll close the store until 14:00 p.m. But today I can not accompany you in the store first huh. Mom still has business. "Said Bu Kiran.
"It's okay Mom. Jihan used to be alone as well "Jihan said with a laugh.
"Dad. You are ordinary yourself. Just look at your 23-year-old age your friends are already in marriage, but you don't even have a girlfriend . "ledek Bu Kiran laughs back.
"Jihan doesn't want to date Mom. And right now Jihan was waiting for someone "Jihan said with a smile.
"Are you waiting for your favorite mirror image, Jihan ? "asked Miss Kiran.
And Di Jihan replied with a nod.
"Don't you think waiting isn't boring ? "asked Miss Kiran.
"Of course not mom. "Answer Jihan.
"Do you admire her ? "Ask Miss Kiran.
"I admire him, maybe even I love him . "Answer Jihan.
"Did he know ? "Ask Miss Kiran again.
"Of course not . "the word Jihan looked down.
"Just say it . " Said Bu Kiran staring at Jihan.
"No ma'am, I'm just gonna pull her up in the third of my night. Then he told his creator that I loved a servant. "Answer Jihan.
"Is it not exhausting ? "Said Bu Kiran.
" Of course not Mom, I love her even though I don't know who she is and how she is. I had also loved her shadow first without knowing what her name was. "said Jihan.
"Lantas, what kind of story do you want next" asked Ms. Kiran.
Jihan looked at Bu Kiran's eyes, and Jihan knew Bu Kiran was worried about Jihan.
Jihan only smiled, clasped Bu Kiran's hand and said.
"Like anything in the future, and no matter how it goes. God has arranged all the ways, so we just follow the Path.
No need to worry Mom, I'll be fine with my wait " said Jihan.
"This is the first time I've seen Jihan. How can a person love only through the shadow, without knowing who and how he is" said Ms. Kiran.
"May God draw your heart and his heart closer" continued Ms. Kiran.
"Amin ya Rabbal alamin" said Jihan.
"Damn, I'll go first. At 2pm we will leave together. I'll pick you up later" said Ms. Kiran.
"Alright Ma. "Answer Jihan.
*******
"This past week your store has not opened, I miss you so much Jihan" said Ms. Sinta.
"I also miss mommy . "said Jihan.
"Give us the latest hijab" said Bu Ayu.
Jihan was very excited when Bu Sinta and Bu Ayu shopped to the store. There are so many things they tell me. Starting from the behavior of his children until now should have been married at their age. But the children of these two mothers did not even have an interest in getting married.
"Jihan, do you want to be mother's daughter-in-law . "asked Bu Ayu.
"No way, Jihan will be my daughter-in-law . "answered by Ms. Sinta.
"Who said, Jihan herself didn't say kog. Is that Jihan. ? "said Ms. Ayu.
Jihan just smiled at the debate between Bu Ayu and Bu Sinta.
"Jihan's not ready to marry Mom. "Clearly Jihan to Bu Ayu and Bu Sinta.
"When you are ready to get married, mom will come to propose to you at home" said Ms. Sinta.
Jihan just fell silent with Ms. Sinta's words. Not wanting to hurt her heart, Jihan only returned with a smile.
Many of the customers at the store were tempting Jihan to marry her son. But Jihan only thought of it as a joke.
In contrast to Bu Sinta whose face also shows seriousness even though sometimes covered with laughter.
*******
"Jihan, sorry. Looks like mom can't go to the parlor today. There's still business to be done. What if you go this time "said Bu Kiran in a WhatsApp message sent to Jihan .
"Well mom, no problem. "Reply Jihan.
Jihan closed the store at 14:00 Wib.
Jihan did not pay attention to the shop next door, it turned out that Arief was not selling today.
Jihan immediately glided to the Panti by using a gojek..
20 Minutes of travel, Jihan finally arrived at Ar-rahman orphanage. His presence was welcomed warmly by the mother of the orphanage and also the children of the orphanage there.
"Have not seen Jihan here in a long time.
Now you're getting more beautiful. Is married son ? "said Ms. Sona, who was the head of the parlour.
"Dad Ma'am. Jihan really misses the kids here. And for another answer. Jihan is not married Mom, "Jihan said smilingly
"Hopefully this year you will have the best match. "So continued Ms. Sona.
"Aminn o Allah" said Jihan.
All the items that Jihan brought were already distributed to the orphanage children. Seeing their faces glittering with pleasure. Makes Jihan feel happy.
"Mom, Jihan said yes, "Jihan said as she greeted Ms. Sona.
"Dad, be careful. "Said Miss Sona.
"Assalamu'alaikum . "say Jihan.
"Wa'alaikum salam "Accounted by Ms. Sona.
Jihan will be home soon. Afraid her mom's gonna worry.
*******
That night, Jihan couldn't sleep. I don't know why he suddenly thought of that mirror image. And there was a longing in his heart.
I haven't seen that man in a long time. I don't know where and how he is doing right now.
"What is this feeling of longing ? Why miss her again ? "in Jihan.
