Mecca City...
At night, the air is much cooler. Unlike this afternoon where the air temperature even reached 43 degrees Celsius. This also made Bilal choose another time to run his tawaf on the first day they set foot in Mecca.
After the prayer, there are many pilgrims who fill the area around the Kaaba. The cube-shaped building that looks authoritative makes Merr's eyes glow.
Actually, this is the fourth time he has seen the building. But it always amazes himself to the qibla of Muslims all over the world.
Merr knelt down, at a distance not so close to the worshippers. He was still unable to stop his crying.
Oh my God, I'm coming...
Merr muttered inwardly, occasionally wiping her tears. His body wrapped in all black clothes with a niqab covering his nose and eyes occasionally blown by the wind. For a moment he remembered another figure, who had brought him here three times. The man who once filled his days. Share your love with him in the past. Friends pray together, asking for a very big desire that is a momongan.
I've been begging three times about the kid here. But I don't want to be prejudiced about a prayer that won't come true. It's just that Allah SWT understands better. What's best for me.
Merr turned to the right, another man whom she now trusted to lay down her heart. The glow in the area around the Kaaba makes the charm of the husband more radiated.
His eyes did not blink looking at the One who was sitting next to Maryam. Saying his thanksgiving prayer because it could be given the opportunity to return to this place after last with Ummi and his two sisters.
Looking at his breath, Bilal rubbed his face. Then he looked at the woman he loved.
"We're tawaf now?" bilal asked, Merr replied with a nod of encouragement. They stood up and began to surround the Kaaba. Trying to get close to Aswad every time he passes it. Merr was grateful to be able to kiss Aswad in the first and second rounds. But the more here, the more crowded the congregation, making it more difficult to approach the Kaaba.
The number of male pilgrims makes him reluctant to participate in crammed. So as another way that is recommended, he just waved at every time to get to the point of Aswad. Tawaf one to the three is recommended for small runs, but after that can walk normally.
Although a little bored at the beginning, but Merr was happy. Because for him, any worship would be exhausting. And Bilal said; it is better to be tired in the world. We can still rest, while tired of the afterlife? Nauzubillah.
During the tawaf Merr always showed both hands praying fervently with guidance from Bilal directly. Sometimes he also climbed up, both approaching the taps filled with zam-zam water. Bilal told Merr to sit down while he took the water.
"This, drink. Don't forget to take a break."
"Yes A'..." Merr prayed for a moment, broke his heart, then pulled out a little veil, then drank the water.
"Again, right?" Bilal asked who was pouring water into his own glass. Merr nodded.
"I fill myself–"
"All right." Bilal rubbed Maryam's head. Then he prayed before drinking it.
"A' wants to go to the Nabawi Mosque. Wanted to the tomb of the Prophet and his two companions."
"Can! we're going to Medina tomorrow, yeah. But the entrance between men and women is differentiated. We can't be together. Also there is a new rule, women are a bit difficult to enter must be permission first."
"No papa, hopefully. And again we can meet at the end, right?" maryam asked, her hand pointing to something in her husband's hair.
"You must understand what I'm expecting, A'..."
Bilal. "I want to talk to you."
"What?" The beautiful eyes of Merr made Bilal mutter MashaAllah. I don't know why his wife looked so much prettier here.
"If you're expecting anything after coming home from here?" Bilal took the wife's hand. "Child for example..."
Merr smiled, because she thought her husband was right.
"A'a just want, your patience is still awake. Don't feel sad even if we still don't get the answer to that prayer afterwards."
Merr's eyes grew brighter. He also nodded.
"anyways A'a just asked for it. Be patient! if not already in love. Don't think anything weird."
I have learned from the past. I wouldn't do the same stupidity.
Merr nodded again. "inshaAllah... I will remain patient. Because I believe, also always hold on to A'a's promise. About the purpose of marrying me, yes to accept me like this. That's one of the things that kept me calm during my time as A'a's wife."
"Thank God... A'a relieved to hear it." Bilal rubbed his wife's head, then looked up at the sky and shifted towards the worshippers in front who were still doing their tawaf. "It's getting night. Now A'a take you to the inn first. You rest, after that A'a wants to come back here," he said. Merr himself understands at home he often tahajud from one o'clock in the morning until dawn especially here he obeyed.
Tonight is beautiful, it still feels good in this area. Because the atmosphere is getting crowded. It makes them unconscious when the night is too late.
