Salsabila Putri (Choosing the Hijrah Road)

follow steps

each belief has its own obligation, just as Islam requires its people to always perform prayer, like a most famous verse that prayer is the pillar of religion and women are the pillar of the state, he said, which if the pole stands not Sturdy then the building will not be able to stand upright and will collapse.

as Sasa Muslim women always perform their prayers on time, the habit was created because Sania's mother and Hendri's father always instilled religious values in his children, if there is no Allah SWT then we have no advice then.

our existence in the world until now is a form of mercy and love of Allah SWT to His people.

At 3.00 am Sasa woke up from his sleep, glancing at the clock located on the nightstand beside his bed.

"it seems to be God's calling, I wake up in this hour because God wants me to be happy with Him when others are asleep. thank God for this limitless love when I have committed many sins but You still love me" Sasa smiled whether the smile was for anyone he did not know.

"well, hey Sasa's body let's wake up and pray tahajjud we welcome the love of Allah SWT with joy" the unveiling of a blanket that covers his tiny body, lowering his two slender legs to hang on the bed, heard a slow breath trying to collect half the lives that had been watching in other realms he stretched his body while rising from rajang to a bathroom not far from the side of his bed.

finish the tahajjud prayer Sasa continues by reading the Koran.

Sasa again glanced at the clock "apparently only 4 and a half hours into the dawn prayer time, rather than sleeping again afraid even kebablasan mending I just wait until the prayer time arrives" sasa said to himself.

he grabbed the prayer beads before laying his tiny body on his soft mattress, reciting while looking at the ceiling of the room his gaze was back in giddy, but he felt more comfortable and peaceful after praying tahajjud.

"ah the feeling of calm, it turns out this feels closer to Allah SWT. I will always try to do this worship" Sasa closed his eyes to absorb the sense of calm that infiltrated into his heart, there was a comfort that he could not express with words but could only feel.

Today's temperature is quite different from usual, the cold that feels the skin offers a sense of pain in the bones. It seems like today the sun will be blazing brighter than yesterday, a sign of summer has arrived.

Sasa tidied some of his clothes into the suitcase, and the rest he kept neatly in the closet, with the reason that if one day he came back on vacation to Ratih's house he no longer needed to bring his clothes.

Sasa was about to go to the kitchen to make breakfast but was stopped by Ratih.

"where are you, today do not have to cook bang Rafi again out to buy food for our breakfast" said Ratih smiling at Sasa

"oh yes mbak, tumben nih want to buy outside usually also prefer home-cooked food" said Sasa felt surprised because this is the first time Ratih want breakfast with food purchased outside.

"bak deliberately so you do not have to bother to make breakfast sa, after all at 8 o'clock your car invitation comes you will not have time to clean if you have to cook first and you will miss the car again" Rutih tried to explain.

"calm ajah mbak about the clothes I have finished so stay in the bath Ajah Bru clothes" said Sasa

"you seem to be very excited and want to stay" Ratih pretended to bend his face to prank Sasa.

"eh. it's not like I'm han.." said Sasa stopped when Rafi suddenly appeared carrying 3 cups of chicken porridge.

"taraa, here's our breakfast Manado chicken porridge I guarantee you will like" said Rafi proud.

Sasa prancing from in front of Ratih "aaah really Manado porridge bang?" tanya Sasa enthusiastically he had once tasted Manado porridge with his friends while doing sports together in the city park, and it feels so delicious.

Ratih was made to gawk with Sasa's sometimes less calm behavior, but he was also quite happy because Sasa's cheer returned to normal as usual. he preferred the chatty Sasa over the quiet Sasa.

"yes dong, do you like it?" asked Rafi frowned, he was sure if he had never seen Sasa taste Manado porridge.

"like dong bang, Sasa has never eaten this in the city park with friends Sasa fit again sports together" replied Sasa while reaching for a cup of Manado porridge from inside a bag of crackles.

Sasa's smile expands perfectly when the mush cup lid is successfully opened.

"waaahh" his eyes were rounded with his mouth open forming the letter O. He was amazed at what he saw.

"usual ajah kali sa, it's so until your saliva almost drips" Ratih smiled mockingly.

Sasa chuckled unconcernedly with Ratih's words, quickly devouring Manado porridge which suddenly became his favorite food, uh but the position of the kale chaff in his heart remained no.1

"you don't know your friend if today you return to the village sa" said Ratna turned her head to see the expression of Sasa's face that is always cheerful at all times.

"last night was sasa kasi tau mbak" he replied indifferently Sasa pretending to stay cool enjoying his breakfast.

"keep what he says?" Train for a moment stopped the movement of his hands.

"no, he said he could not meet because he was busy there was a sudden business, ohya Ratna send greetings to mbak" Sasa was still cool to enjoy the porridge until there was not a bit left in the cup.

"yah mbak Sasa want to take a bath first just get ready" Sasa rose from his seat and walked gontai towards his room, after successfully closing the door he leaned his back on the door leaf, squeezing the chest connected to his heart to suppress the turmoil in his heart that suddenly appeared.Hearing Ratih's question about Ratna made Sasa's memory recall the incident he experienced when he wanted to visit Ratna.

"i must not cry, I am determined to forget everything even though I may not be able to change everything at least I can continue to walk forward without being haunted by the disgusting shadows".

sasa is ready with a plain gray dress with a matching hijab color dangling close the curves of the front of Sasa, natural makeup polish emphasizes the aura of Sasa graceful and charismatic.

Sasa dragged his suitcase to the terrace to make it easier for the car driver when he wanted to raise his belongings later.

"finally finished as well" sasa turned towards Ratih who had just been tailing while paying attention to his activities.

"however daydreaming anyway, Ahmad here let Sasa ajah who was fat before Sasa departed" Sasa grabbed Ahmad from Ratih's sling.

"let's say your brother is too dear to you so not willing to separate from you" said Rafi glanced at Ratih.

Ratih only responds with deheman while Sasa has giggled amusedly hearing rafi's words.

"ciee mbak dalau yah left Sasa" Sasa increasingly seduces Ratih.

"idih don't be piqued as a person" sewot Ratna did not accept because laughed at.

a black Pajero car stopped right in front of Ratih's house, a well-built man descending from the car in a casual dress, leather sandals and hair modelled on the side, making the man look very handsome.

"so.that's your pickup car?" asked Rafi in disbelief, where there is a public transport car with a neat and clean appearance like that especially with the posture and clothes look not like a car driver.

"Sasa also do not know bang, but it seems not deh. when he was the driver of the car Serapi's appearance," replied Sasa as he continued to look at the man who was getting closer to them.

"then if he's not the driver then why did he walk here?" timpal Ratih was also curious, if the appearance like this is not suitable so the driver is suitable to be his sister-in-law candidate just think Ratih who began to digress everywhere.

"assalamu'alaikum, excuse me. would you like to ask this true Salsabila princess house?" ask the man with courtesy.

Sasa was surprised, why could this man know him never met, even this was their first meeting.

"wa'alaikumsalam" they said simultaneously

"True, I'm Salsabila princess. do you know me?" sasa asked curiously.

"oh it turns out you're miss." he said hanging.

"do not be too formal enough to call me Sasa alone" said Sasa politely while smiling sweetly.

the man gasped he was charmed "sweet" his inner "this is your ID card I found it on the street XX chuckled on the side of the road" he said, handing over the ID card to Sasa.

sasa's body immediately stiffened his eyes perfectly round he only realized due to the incident that night he accidentally dropped his identification card.

"te.teerthank you" replied Sasa stammeringly

Ratih and Rafi frowned in surprise, looking at Sasa's suddenly nervous expression.

The man caught a suspicious look from the sight of Ratih and Rafi at Sasa, quickly he distracted the two.

"then I say goodbye miss sasa, I just want to return the ID card, excuse me assalamu'alaikum"

the man stepped slowly but wide towards his car because of his long legs without looking back.

"it turns out you're the one" he muttered, a smirk smile imprinted on the corner of his lips slowly he turned on his car engine and turned the steering wheel leaving then Ratih who left the person filled with big question marks on their head.

"ah the car has arrived" Sasa said when he saw the car he was going to ride had arrived.

"grab bang Sasa go dlu, doain Sasa get home safely" Sasa grabs Ratih's hand and kisses her, Sasa just nods his excuse at Rafi who is also answered a nod by Rafi.

"assalamu'alaikum" said Sasa then walked to the car.

Ratih instantly regained his senses from his daydream as Sasa waved at him accompanied by a car that slowly moved away from his sight.

"i'm going home eventually, I'm going to start living well in the village with my mom and dad, I'm going to follow these footsteps and take me where" Sasa turned his gaze out the window staring at the trees as if running after him.
