The Journey of Young Love



"Alright, mami will catch up with you" said mami Juan. Mr. Leo sitting there is only a loyal listener.


That morning Zian took the morning lecture seriously. After a few hours of listening to his lectures, Zian and Mariah and Fauzi went to the mall. As per the plan of those who will shop looking for some hijab and also Muslim clothing. Zian has expressed his intention to wear Muslim clothing. Of course Mariah and Fauzi who heard the goodwill from Zian were very supportive and enthusiastic. Mariah and Fauzi were thrilled when Zian contacted the two of them with her plan to wear the hijab. Because both of Zian's parents had supported Zian in embracing and adhering to the religion that Zian had chosen. This further solidified Zian to learn to apply all the commands and teachings in the scriptures in the form of deeds and actions.


Because Zian came to the campus on a motorcycle, the three of them to the mall riding two motorcycles and Zian piggybacking Mariah who was delivered by her mother to the campus and not riding his own motorbike.


The two motor matic went hand in hand to the destination, which is to a shopping center in the city.However the three virgins of one generation look cheerful in togetherness. Not until one hour they arrived at the place they wanted to go, the largest mall in the city. After parking the two bikes, Mariah and Fauzi immediately entered the building by selling some kind of goods and food. Restaurants and cafes are also in the shopping center.


"Oh yes, Mariah and Fauzi! Later mami I want to follow to this mall as well. My mother said, my mother also wanted to shop and look for items to be purchased by my mother. Later we wait for my mom to go to the usual cafe where we hang out," said Zian.


"Okay, about hanging out we like it. Moreover, there is free Wi-Fi as well" said Fauzi. Mariah patted her own eel hearing Fauzi say.


"Hem, we go to the cafe waiting for Juan's mother first or we immediately look for hijab and Muslim clothing that you are looking for, Zian?" ask Mariah. Zian and Fauzi looked at each other.


"Hem, let me call mom. While waiting mami how about we look around first the goods. And of course I fit my pockets and my savings. Maybe I bought Muslim clothes and hijab only one doang right? Cook me not changing clothes and hijab, too" said Zian.


"Hahaha.yeah, you don't worry Zian! I will give you two Muslim dresses and a hijab in different colors. Of course it's new and I haven't worn it yet. But you want it if the Muslim clothes I buy are not expensive and also not branded," said Mariah. Zian who heard Mariah about to give Muslim clothes with her hijab was very happy.


"Thank you very much Mariah! I must have liked her," said Zian.


"From Mariah two, later from me three seeds well, baby! Anyway for my best friend we support each other for better things" said Fauzi eagerly. The three virgins held each other's hands walking up the escalator to the second floor of the mall.


They started to pick up Muslim clothes. Mariah and Fauzi are very excited to choose a dress that matches Zian.


Mami Juan was already in the same mall where Zian, Fauzi and Mariah were at. Mami Juan has entered and sat in a cafe where young people, teenagers, adults and all ages hang out. Mami Juan immediately searches for her daughter's WA number, Zian, to tell her whereabouts at the cafe.


📱📲 "Halo Zian darling! Mami has arrived at the mall where we promised. Mommy's in the cafe! You'll be here soon!" fill in a chat message to Zian.


Not long after that Zian replied to that WA chat message quickly.


Mami Juan smiled reading a reply to a chat message from her daughter. After a while, finally the person who awaited now came. Zian, Fauzi and Mariah entered the cafe with a bag of groceries. Mami Juan squinted her eyeballs. But a big smile was then thrown at the three young girls who were now approaching his seat.


"Mommy!" said Zian, shaking hands and kissing the back of Juan's mom's hand. Then the two of them are talking to each other. Now it's Fauzi and Mariah's turn to shake hands with Juan's mom. With a smile that expands, Juan warmly welcomes the three virgins sitting on a bench with him.


"We eat and drink first, baby! You want any message, please!" mami Juan said while looking at the list of food and drinks in the cafe. Of course Zian and his two friends were excited to order food.


Cafe waiters approached their seats and recorded all the food and drinks ordered by Zian, Mariah, Fauzi and Juan's mami. After her the maid respectfully left them after taking down all their orders.


"Have you been shopping?" mami Juan asked while looking at the grocery bag that was more than two big bags. Fauzi and Mariah looked at each other. Zian just smiled.


"That was Zian shopping for aunty! Some hijab and also Muslim clothes" Mariah explained.


"Just two Muslim dresses and three hijabs, mommy. The plan is to see Zian in the Mariah subscription store that sells clothes with a cheaper price. Zian needs a lot of Muslim clothes too, mommy!" said Zian.


"So, are you sure you want to wear a hijab, honey? But you can't let go of it like the artist on television is well, baby," said Juan's mother.


"Zian's prayers remain solemn and firm in this decision, mami. Mami doesn't mind if Zian wears a hijab and covers Zian's hair?" ask Zian.


"Of course, baby! My mom will always support you. Actually mami joined you for this shopping with the intention of wanting to buy you some Muslim clothes. And also some mukena," explained Juan's mother. Zian, Mariah and Fauzi who heard the good plan from Juan's mother felt happy and moved.


"Mommy, thank you so much! Mami cares a lot about Zian," said Zian with eyes that began to look glassy.


"What the hell are you talking about, baby! Didn't my mother tell you that she will support you with all your decisions to embrace the religion you choose" said Juan.


Their conversation halted for a moment as the cafe waiter arrived with their food and beverage orders. There wasn't much chatter as they enjoyed eating it together in the cafe. Surely in Zian's heart there was a good prayer for his mother. If only her mother could have the same faith in embracing her chosen religion, surely next year's feast day will be warmer and more memorable.
