Love Ends At Red Lights

Hijrah Stories

Mr. Hans, Mrs Maria also Caterina arrived in Indonesia. On a long flight they landed at Soetta airport.

"Sister... Caterina didn't look like it? Just mom and dad." Hana had not seen Caterina's face at the arrival door. From a distance he only saw a couple who were looking at him.

"Mmm.. maybe later." Answer Steve. He was also looking for his little sister.

"Can't it be if they split up, brother?" Hannah asked Steve again.

"Mmm. don't know. Let's ask mom and dad!" Rather than guessing waiting for his parents first to tell.

"Hello father. How are you?" Hana kisses the cheeks of mistress Maria and tun Hans. So did Steve they hugged tightly as his parents approached.

"Well.. Where's caterina?" Hana was already impatient to ask Caterina whereabouts.

"Assalamu'alaikum... " A woman in a covered veil approached Hana as well as Steve. Both of them stared in disbelief at the figure in front of him. Yes how to recognize? He wears all-black clothes and the face veil almost covers all his face.

"Caterina... " Steve and Hana compactly call Caterina.

"Yes, it's me brother.. Shocked to see how I look?" Behind her veil Caterina smiled.

"Is this you Catrin??" Steve still does not believe that behind the veil covered it is his sister.

"Well, it's me. When you don't know my voice?" Caterina's bluish eyeballs looked towards Steve.

"Oh. my God. What's the matter? You have to explain it to my sister! What's going on with you?" Steve really didn't think that his sister would emigrate like that.

"Have... have you guys talked here or want to take us home?" Mr. Hans who had been silent since then interrupted.

"He he. I'm sorry well. we're so busy seeing Catrin. so forget to take dad home." Steve represents Hana talking to her father.

"Iy.iya.question collected first. Later in the new house you are satisfied the same as the mpunya hajat." Mr. Hans smiled happily to be reunited with his children. So was the ever meek and loving mother Mary. He stroked Hana's back while walking beside her.

They walk in tandem. Steve is currently carrying two cars. Alphard for the family and mercy for him.

Shortly thereafter, two luxury cars entered the parking lot in the house. Everybody get out of the car and into the house.

Mrs Kim has prepared some dishes with the help of the servants. Likewise, the rooms have been prepared to welcome the Hana family.

"Well, it's a new feeling yesterday we're from here. but the rich haven't set foot here in a long time." Mr. Hans spilled his rather stiff body on the sofa. So did Maria and Caterina. Maybe the French-Indonesian journey is quite long, making their legs stiff.

"Master..Madam.Drink the water first!" Mrs Kim brought drinks as well as various cakes and snacks to be served in front of the Hana family.

"Thank you Miss Kim!" Hana Saying.

"Together.." miss." Mrs Kim passed to the kitchen again after serving drinks and various kinds of food.

"Hey.. same story sister... This is how Caterina's story can be this well.. ma...?" Steve started interrogating Caterina.

"Just ask the same kid!" Mr. Hans will not interfere in Caterina's privacy matters, which have already switched trust. As a parent with western culture, he freed his children to choose the way of life and their respective beliefs. What matters is that they can answer for it.

"Yes dong! My sister is curious!" Hana said while giving water to Mama Maria and Hans' father.

"Yes. process brother. Since yesterday living in Bandung I really think about what mas Gavin said. I got restless, had trouble sleeping. To satisfy my sense of purpose, I tried to find information in France. Where can I get guidance and study Islam. I have long been interested in Islam. Cuman fitting in Bandung I got a moment fitting brother.can be close to the same environment of Muslims and can see firsthand how rich and what they are like.

"I still want to know his advice, Steve. I was told to learn to study, right?"

I finally met my wish. There is a Muslim convert center that usually helps explain what and how Islam is in foreigners who are interested in Islam. I enrolled there and received intensive guidance. You can also learn full lessons. Start with a basic knowledge of Islam, the practice of worship, and learn more. Anyway at the muallaf center is complete all. We just talk about what we want to know, they will help us explain it until we understand. Anyway they're fine brother.meeka want to help me so that I can learn Islam properly."

Now that I have studied Islam, my heart is rich on the sis.. So I said to my mom and dad..Will they let me change my trust or not?"

"Hmmm. They need time to give me an answer."

"Yes while waiting for an answer, I keep learning again. But.continue to come here and here..for a long time I felt something empty that brother. When did I convert to Islam? I'm studying but what? If it continues to be delayed said the already-existing cement, the temptation is heavy sis. Yes his name is shetan sak. certainly do not want the man to be good. He he sorry yes brother.. " Caterina was so enthusiastic about telling her hijrah journey to switch trust.

"I went back with my mom and dad, when did they allow me to convert to Islam?"

"Daddy same mom did not immediately give the answer brother."

"Sister..know what they're doing?" Caterina looked at Steve as well as Hana alternately.

"Don't know." Steve shook his head. Then back to silence still waiting for the story to follow.

"Well, my father and my mother finally came to the Muallaf Center. He wants to hear directly from my murobbi brother. Am I really not what? Daddy's both scared and worried that I'm just emotional for a moment..Yes, but after hearing their words that I looked serious and earnest, I was allowed to embrace Islam."

Tests

Caterina's tears are dripping.

"That's the most beautiful moment I've ever felt sister.the biggest gift that dad and mom did for me." Caterina hugged her parents while crying. Mr. Hans replies to his daughter who has now changed. Since changing beliefs, Caterina has become more mature than her age, more polite, better at everything. Madam Maria was moved. She began to shed her tears as she saw her little daughter growing wiser.

How happy Caterina is now. Happiness that cannot be said with words cannot be described through painting. It cannot be exchanged for any treasure. He was so happy to embrace Islam with the permission of his parents. That's a peerless gift. Because not a few converts who have a big challenge from their own families.

"Congratulations, dear... Brother is also happy to see you bajagia." Hana also tearfully heard and saw Caterina just telling a story.

Stveve looked silent, with a brooding face. I don't know what he's thinking.

"Sister.. Steve is daydreaming? Is brother not happy to see me brother?" Caterina feels odd with Steve's change in attitude.

"Mmm. Brother is not daydreaming. I just thought Catrin was again." Steve's haste changed his mood.

Rich coincidentally that's it. Last night I told her. Now my own brother is converting to Islam. Hm...I salute Caterina who dared to make a big decision. His age is still relatively young.

"Congratulations! Brother salute you Caterina." Steve smile.

"How do school problems continue? Do you look like that? What. get a challenge?" Tanya Hana who was worried about her sister's school

"Yes.so it must be dong. My friends and school don't want me to look like this. At first I explained them. But how else, they have their own rules, brother. So I had to leave school. My father said my mother could attend school here to continue my pending school. Because if you force yourself, it will be difficult, brother." Caterina answered Hana's question.

"So you want to transfer schools here?" Steve was so shocked to hear that Caterina was about to change schools.

"Yes brother. Does brother mind?" Caterina turned to Steve.

"Son.. " Steve was a little confused. You want to answer yes how, if not also why?

If Caterina becomes a school in Indonesia, the responsibility will increase as well. Moreover, the busyness of being the leader of the company is not easy. Besides time his mind was also much drained. Now plus Caterina? That would be a big pr for Steve.

"Well, the story will go on! Are you going to eat first or want to rest first?" Hana turned to look at Mr. Hans and Mama Maria.

"Mmm ma..?" Asked Mr. Hans for his wife's opinion.

"We need to rest first. If you're not hungry yet." Madam Maria postponed the meal and opted for a break first.

"Yes. I'm taking you!" Steve stood up to take his parents to the room. The bags of their luggage have been included can be maids.

"Well.. ma.. I can not talk to you guys?' Steve sat in a chair in the room reserved for both.

"Speak!" Mr. Hans sat on the edge of the bed with his wife.

"Same father mom actually allowed Caterina like that?" Steve's face was seriously looking at the two.

"Mmm.. why? You mind Caterina's appearance? Or how?" Mr. Hans was a little surprised why Steve couldn't agree with Caterina's change.

"Mmm. That's not it. I was just a little bit how I was.. " Steve had trouble revealing the wedge.

"Speak! What's going on inside you, Steve?" Mr. Hans tried to wisely mediate the future dissent between Caterina and the others. Here Caterina is just a different person. There will be challenges from families who disagree with him.

"Yes.. want me. tuh why did you and your mom not prevent Caterina that? How easy is it to let Caterina go like that? I. I still don't want Caterina to be like that.. " Steve just expressed his misdeeds in front of his parents now. He did not want to speak frankly in front of Cay afraid to offend him.

Mr. Hans and Ms. Maria looked at each other.

"Look Steve. I don't think you want to prevent or prohibit. Mom and Dad have been thinking a lot about this. Even we have been softly talking about it with Caterina. But what can I do. That was his decision. He was determined with all his soul to embrace Islam. We try to open up, accept the difference. Father and mother were not willing to let Caterina off like that. But look at it by you! How happy he is now."

"Yes, but still I don't agree!" Steve couldn't accept Caterina's situation like that.

"Mmm. okay. If you disagree and object, same father mama is fine. Dad understood too. Just ask me for your help, let Caterina choose her choice. Dad and mom have been looking for school in Bandung through mas Gavin. He was willing to keep Caterina there. I understand for sure you will sibu with the company. Hannah will be busy with her home. Let Caterina stay with her friends there for the better." Mr. Hans apparently had planned long ago it turned out.

"Well.. same mommy is mad at me, huh?" Stt so feel bad, his father even distanced Caterina in him.

"No Steve. Why be angry. Even if you don't talk like that, the plan is already so. So you don't have to worry about Caterina. Let's accept each other and appreciate each other. Don't let us part because of that. I don't want that until it happens.

"Yes.all right... If you think that's best for Caterina. But please also appreciate my disapproval well.. "

"Yes. y'all are fine! I didn't ask you much. Learn to accept what has happened. So that our minds are not too much burden." Mr. Hans hopes Steve and Caterina can get along. It is not easy to accept such a difference. But what can I do. Everyone has principles. As long as the principle does not pass through no one else why do not we accept it.

"Yes yeah. sorry. Then have a good rest!" Steve stood out of the room with a disappointed look.

In the other place Caterina is already one room with Hana. They are chatting. Hana became a good listener of what Caterina told her.

"Sister.. I'm going to Bandung tomorrow, brother. We made a deal." Caterina looked enthusiastic.

"What's wrong?" Hana frowned. What's with Caterina going to Bandung.

"In addition to meeting Gavin's kang, I also want to look at the high school. I'll go to school there." Caterina looks really excited.
