Red Rose-Love In Three Countries

Loves

Yijia enjoyed every second of her time, now that her once gaping wounds had been tightly sealed by new memories. He had almost forgotten the name his father gave him, Lin Yijia.

Yijia was already used to the name Syifa, although her identity card was still in Lin Yijia's name. Although sometimes still remembered Jonathan, but the feeling is not as painful as before. He really let go of his past.

And the man who managed to heal the wound in Jijia's heart, and removed Jonathan from his mind was Ustadz Rahim, a handsome young man who was devoutly religious. He is a teacher of Yijia teaching, a young Ustadz graduate of Pondok Pesantren Darussalam, Martapura, South Kalimantan.

Pondok Pesantren Darussalam Hotel, Martapura. Adalan Pesantren cottage located in Pasayangan, Martapura, Banjar Regency, South Kalimantan, Indonesia.

This boarding school was established in 1941 by K.H.Jamaluddin, one of the leading scholars at the time, who was the founder and first leader of the Darussalam boarding school.

Pondok pesantren is the oldest pesantren in Kalimantan and has given birth to many prominent scholars and become an important place of education and regeneration of scholars in Kalimantan. Almost all pedigree of students in South Kalimantan empties into this Pesantren.

While in the City of Rantau itself there are also some Pesantren cottage.

Such as Subulussalam Boarding School, Darus Musthafa Boarding School, Ampera, Kulur. Pondok Pesantren Khadijatul Kubra. Pondok Pesantren Umm Salamah, Pondok Pesantren Siti Khadijah, and many more.

Ustadz Rahim is not only good at teaching, he is also Tahfidz Al-Qur'an. Many times he had to go to the City to have a regular study at a mosque, and returned to the village after a day or two there.

Yijia often smiles when remembering Ustadz Rahim, the smile and shade of the face really shook Yijia's heart.

Yijia still hugged the 1-year-old boy tightly, he fell asleep in Yijia's arms, his chubby cheeks managed to make Yijia anxious and almost wanted to pinch him, but he was unable to wake up his sleep.

"Syifa, Humair's asleep huh?" Sari came to Yijia

"Yes Bi, how well he sleeps"

"It's sweet, I've helped keep Humair"

"Yes Bi, Syifa is happy to be able to take care of her cousin sister, she is very cute and obedient"

"Here, let Auntie carry him, you go take a bath there" Sari took her child, and brought him into her arms.

"Yes Bi, Syifa go take a shower first huh?"

"Yes"

Yijia left Sari, took her toiletries home, and returned to the river to take a bath. Although Yijia can shower in the bathroom, the house. But he was very happy to bathe in the river, which was calm and peaceful. The river current is slightly tidal, but still very clear, so it can be seen small rocks and sand below, as well as large and medium rocks as where Yijia sits.

On the shore of the river there are only rubber trees and rambutans, birds flying everywhere with their mongrels, and fish swimming.

Completely soothing to the eyes and hearing, Yijia hummed cheerfully as she continued to bathe.

He continued to sing a favorite song, the first song he heard when he arrived in Indonesia.

🌹*Acha Septrias🌹

🌹Until Blindfold🌹

Dew in the morning blind

Spreading wet smell

Second by second I count

Is this when I leave?

Oh, my God, I love him

Give me life

I'm not gonna hurt him

Law if it happens

I am not easy to love

I don't confess to love easily

I'm in love

My weapon is only for love

My heart is only for you

No lies, I swear

Until I close my eyes

My love

Until I close my eyes

Not feeling the time continues to pass, Yijia is still cool bathing while singing, until she is unaware of the arrival of her Grandmother.

"Jeez Syifa, still taking a bath, later wrinkles and then bathing" Grandma smiled to see Yijia who was still soaking in the river.

Sure enough, Yijia's skin was wrinkled with coldness, deathly pale like there was no blood in it. He himself did not realize it because it was too cool to swim and sing.

"Now, Grandma" Yijia smiled shyly at Grandma

"Syifa how was Joseph?" ask Grandma while going down to the river, to take a bath.

"Yusuf? he is kind, friendly and considerate" Yijia replied, it is true that everything he mentioned, but it was not the answer that his Grandmother wanted.

"Your relations?"

"Eh relationship, friend?"

"Syifa doesn't want to start a family?"

"I still want to be with Grandma" replied Yijia, she immediately embraced the old body of the Grandma

"Dear Syifa, Grandma is old. Grandma's age won't be long, Grandma doesn't want to leave Syifa alone in this world."

"Grandmother, don't say that, Grandma will still live with Syifa, forever." whimpered Yijia, she felt very sad to hear the words of her Grandmother just now.

"Syifa, life in this world will surely one day end, everyone who lives will die. So is Grandma who is no longer young, Grandma hopes that when Grandma leaves later, there will be someone else who will take care of you."

"That will accompany you every day, in every breath, in all your life, in your joy and sorrow."

"Dear Syifa, look for someone who really loves you, who will treat you well, so you don't regret it"

Grandma kept advising Yijia, as if it was her last day. Yijia felt very sad to hear the words of her Grandmother, she continued to cry in the arms of the Grandmother. He did not flinch to take off his arms, as if if he took off his arms, his grandmother would disappear.

"Any Grandma Syifa turned out to be a crybaby huh? had stopped crying, later the beauty faded" Grandma Yijia seduced, she continued to rub slowly Yijia's head.

"Yeah Syifa, don't cry anymore, you better finish your bath now and go home. Your aunt may be in need of your help at home."

"Ah yes Grandma, well" Yijia immediately finished her bath, not long after she said goodbye to Grandma, to immediately go home.

"She, Syifa first, right?"

"Yes, go, baby"

Yijia left the grandmother alone, bathing in the river. The distance from the river to her Grandmother's house was very close, not until one minute Yijia was in the backyard. He immediately entered the house through the back door.

Meanwhile, it turns out that Yusuf and Ustadz Rahim were already in the living room with Amat, Sari's husband. They were talking cheerfully. Yijia walked slowly, as slow as possible so as not to be heard by one of them. Because it happened that the road to his room was connected to the living room, he did not want Ustadz Rahim to look at his current presence, which was soaking wet, although it was impossible for Ustadz Rahim to look at him.

Slowly Yijia passed through the living room, feeling a sense of wastage, fortunately no one was aware of it.

After arriving at her room, Yijia was relieved and immediately dried her hair. He rushed as fast as he could, because now in his mind only wanted to immediately go to the living room and be able to greet Ustadz Rahim.

"Hurry up," Yijia spoke to herself, she kept rushing until there was no object she placed properly.

Yijia continued to complain, each unable to find something she was looking for. He really wanted to run to Ustadz Rahim.
