The Angel of Wounds

Chapter 115

The recitation and prayer were held in Rama's private house ahead of his departure for Umrah with Hasna. And during that time Mama, Papa and Nayla stayed at their house.

"You need to be ready, don't you, honey?" Ask Mama who helped Hasna pack up.

"It's all, Ma. We don't carry a lot of stuff. Only things that are important." Answer Hasna.

"How many days will you be there?"

"God willing, about two weeks."

"You take care of yourself. Mama must have missed your arrival so much. It's malem, you take a break." Mama gently rubbed Hasna's shoulder and left the woman alone in the room.

Not long after, Rama also returned after cleaning the living room used for a joint prayer event, which was assisted by Papa, Ivan and Mr. Mamat. Because their home is without a housekeeper. Fortunately, Hasna's men who delivered the catering were willing to help them with pleasure.

"Udah malem, let's rest first." Said Rama who just came out of the bathroom.

Before lunchtime, Rama and Hasna were already preparing to leave, given their flight schedule before three in the afternoon. Travelers are waiting for them at the airport.

"You guys be careful, yeah. Don't forget to tell Mama when you get there." Say Mama.

"Yes, Ma." Hasna hugged Mama and kissed the back of the woman's hand.

"Jaga hasna is fine." Said Papa who hugged Rama and patted his shoulder gently..

"Mbak Hasna, I'll miss you later." Nayla hugged Hasna so tightly.

"We go in first, assalamu'alaikum." Rama.

"Wa'alaikumussalam."

Rama took Hasna by the hand and dragged a large suitcase, while Hasna only wore a bag that was not so big. Both of them entered the airport to check in.

While leaving the homeland, Rama handed over the affairs of his office to Ivan as well as Tania. Both cousins worked very professionally. So there was nothing for Rama to worry about if he left the office for too long. It's just that he kept a close eye on the report Ivan or Tania gave him.

A series of worship activities in their holy land are done with great concern. Hasna prayed in Jabal Rahmah, the hill where the first man met his partner. Adam and Eve's mother. There she also asked God to meet a man who had been prepared for her in the future, who had now become her husband, Rama. And now, he asks for the seed of affection between himself and Rama, which will grow in his womb.

Even in front of the Kaaba, the first time Hasna saw Rama sitting down with watery eyes. The man was crying in front of the Muslim Qibla. Many times worship there, many times the eyes of the man was wet.

The first Umrah worship for Rama, but it was very memorable for him. To be a noble guest in the house of God with such a special woman in his life. The woman he once rejected, but she was the same woman, whom Rama wanted to keep for the rest of his life.

"God, my sins are many and countless. Forgive all the sins of the servant. The servant was once a kufr man of the pleasure you gave. The servant once felt that what You do is not good for the life of the servant. You choose the woman whom you never want to have, but You strengthen her heart to remain with you. You are the One who turns back the heart of man. And now, that woman who already has the full heart of her servant."

"Make this heart, that it may remain with thy heart for thy sake. Close this eye view if there will be beauty that can damage the nature of the servant as a husband. You are the One who turns back the heart, set and maintain this heart in order to always maintain the nature of our love as husband and wife. Lighten this step to lead the little family of servants in goodness. Always strengthen this arm, so that it can always hold tightly the hand of the servant's wife to reach the Ridho Mu."

Hasna gently rubbed the back of her husband who was still at home in front of the Kaaba. The man's eyes were wet, but his lips flashed a smile. Rama's right hand stretched out to touch Hasna's stomach and rubbed her gently.

"O Allah, grant the descendants of the Sholyh as the successors of our good cause in the world, and will help us in the Hereafter, Aamiin."

"Let's go back to the hotel, it's too late." Said Rama while wiping the remaining tears that bathed the two neutrals.

It did not feel like two weeks had Rama and Hasna spent their time in the holy land. And today the plan is they will get back to the homeland. The Suryanata family seemed impatient to wait for their son and daughter-in-law to appear.

The couple finally arrived in the country. At the airport, the family was waiting for them at the arrival gate. Nayla ran and hugged Hasna. The girl missed her favorite sister-in-law.

Hasna approached Diana and kissed the back of her hand. The middle-aged woman hugged her daughter-in-law tightly with longing. Because the beautiful face that always filled with smiles he did not see for two weeks.

Rama hugged the Papa. Because during his time in the holy land, his father's advice about his duties and obligations as a husband always ringing in his ears. And that's one of the reasons he felt at home for so long in front of the Kaaba. Regretting all his actions to the wife at the beginning of their marriage first. He blamed his family for forcing him to marry a foreign woman named Hasna.

But everything has changed over time. His love for his wife has grown and is deeply rooted in his heart. In fact, he will never be able to if he has to lose his beloved wife.

"How are you guys?" Ask Papa after the hug unravels.

"Alhamdulillah, fine, Pa. Papa and Mama?" Ask Rama.

"If Papa is always okay. But if Mama..." Papa glanced at Mama who was still at home hugging Hasna.

"Mama why?" Ask Rama.

"Your mama is always mellow when you remember. Look at Nayla, she said she remembered Hasna, because she was the same age. Mbok Sumi made rib soup, mewek, remember you. Mama you're like in her mood swing phase pregnant woman only. Little mewek. And you will go umrah instead of going to war. But that's meweknya loh." Papa.

"Emang Rama wants another sister, Pa?" Ask Rama.

"Hush, have a mouth mbok ya in the brake fluid, let's not blong." Mama reflex hitting Rama's shoulder.

"His son, Nay does not want to yes, if you have to have a sister again. Maybe later Nay's pocket money should be divided by two." Nayla Sahut.

"Well, I'll take care of you, we're the ones who make the effort, Mama Papa who succeeds." Kekeh Rama's.

"Mama is hoping that after this there will be a new family member in our family. Successor of the descendants of Suryanata." Mama said expectantly.

"Aamiin..." Say something else.

"Yes let's go home soon." Bring Papa.

They all walked to the car to get home.
