The Neglected Pearl

Part 17 performing the Hajj

“In this week sir, everything has been prepared, Father and Mother just leave aja.”

“Oh, yes Allah !” exclaimed Mang Ojo while performing sukur prostration, followed by all members of his family.

On that occasion Mang Ojo seemed to cry from tears wet his cheeks that were already wrinkled.

“Finally do’a Father and Mother you realized also son.” said Mang Ojo while shedding tears.

“Where did you get the money from, son ? how can I pay Hajj Worship Father and Mother?” ask Fatma wonder.

“That's all the advantages of the restaurant blessing Bu.”

“Not, recently you spent so much money on the school fees of ten children was son ?”

“If for school fees they all finish sixth grade, the money has been transferred to their school account Bu.”

“So Mom and Dad don't have to worry, because everything Intan finished five months ago.”

“Truly I do not think son, it turns out you have the intention to send us to the holy land. You are so moved that there is nothing you can say except thank you to Allah. Because He has given us very wonderful children like you.”

“Mr ! all this is certainly not apart from our cooperation with the family, Intan can succeed also because of the upbringing of Father and Mother.” Said Mang Ojo's second daughter.

Now calm the hearts of Father and Mother, because in two weeks time, the holy land of Makkah has called.”

Then with a sense of haru and the roar of tears, Mang Ojo and Fatma embraced the five children. His heart was very touched, because in his old age, God still gave the opportunity to prostrate in front of Ka’bah.

In the days of his departure to the holy land, Mang Ojo and Fatma often went out of the house to carry out the Hajj manasik, Alhuda who had an office car always faithfully drove his parents.

And for his tavern, which was growing so rapidly, he entrusted it to Nurul. Because Fatma wants to focus on the worship that will be carried out.

At the release of Mang Ojo and Fatma they held a thanksgiving to release the departure of both their parents to be safe until the destination and return later.

A week after the meeting, Mang Ojo and his wife left for the holy land. They were released by do’a with orphans and poor people.

The holy man Mang Ojo and his wife performed the Hajj calmly, without experiencing any interference at all.

But there is an oddity repeatedly experienced by Fatma Mang Ojo's wife. While in the holy land.

“Pak earlier I saw Intan with us?”

“Mother, do not have to think that assortment, we are here to go Worship.”

“I know it Sir.”

Fatma saw Intan participating in the Hajj with her. Many times it was told Fatma to her husband, but Mang Ojo still did not see it.

Mang Ojo advised his wife not to think of anything other than Allah, but Fatma still saw Intan with her during the Hajj.

“No way I've seen it wrong, Sir ! She must be our daughter's Diamond.”

“Already, Mom ! You have advised Mother to focus only with our worship, do not think the other it will make our concentration become damaged.”

“Good sir !” fatma answered obeying her husband's advice.

Intan is indeed a devoted child, besides he is quick to respond, Intan is obedient to worship. He is good at making both his parents happy.

In the field of study, Intan also achieved so many achievements and management majors he took in college, making his business spirit sharper than others.

Maybe that's what makes Fatma often see it in Makkah.

In performing Hajj, Mang Ojo and Fatma can smell the stone hajarul aswad, as desired for every jama’ah there.

Mang Ojo and Fatma were happy and satisfied, because on that day his intention to fulfill the fifth pillar of Islam had been achieved well and perfectly.

While Mang Ojo who is still in the holy land of Makkah, Intan and others are busy taking care of everything at home, with the help of Ranita, Intan made a special gift to welcome the arrival of his parents.

“Which Deck, you are satisfied with the big brother plan ?”

“Very satisfied, big brother is great, the style of building that brother made was very good, to the extent, father always praised that he stopped by my restaurant.”

“O yes ?”

“No idea, actually my heart was very sad at that time, I would love to unravel this secret, but if this secret I unravel, it would not be a surprise right his name is ?”

“Aduh ! adek this sister is indeed amazing.”

While the two of them were chatting together, Alhuda came to them.”

“Come, again discuss what ?” alhuda asked with a big smile.

“Yes, sis !” alhuda answered while kissing Ranita's hand.

“Where is the work dear, safe right ?”

“Alhamdulillah, everything went smoothly sis.”

“See a Bank director, great you.”

“Ah sister, can only !”

“You have a tube right?”

“God willing, every time I receive a salary, you always tell me to keep it, for my future later.”

“Yes, that's how it should be, because your future is still long and it takes a struggle to achieve it.”

“Iya, brother thanks.” Alhuda smiled.

“O yes, like brother has to go, there is still a lot of work that you have to do, later if you and Mom have come home tell brother yes, dear !”

“Iya, later if they already plan to return to Indonesia, we will definitely announce brother kok.”

“Yes, excuse me first, take care of yourself and your sisters, make sure he is safe in your supervision.”

“Good sister.” Alhuda answered while accompanying Ranita into his car.

“Da !”

“Be careful ya sis !”

“Iya, darling.” Ranita replied in a soft voice.

In the days of waiting for Mang Ojo's return, Intan's heart was still not satisfied, he still wanted to make something that others did not expect at all.

“Aduh, I have to do what else huh ?”

ask Intan to herself. “O, I have an idea !” he said while rushing to find a taxi.

“Where to Neng ?” ask the taxi driver to know.

“continue first Sir, I'll tell you later.”

“O, alright.” The driver answered while driving his vehicle.

Upon arrival in front of Ranita's house, the taxi stopped immediately, and Intan rushed to get off.

“Shortly Yes Sir !” intan said to the taxi driver who was waiting.

Then quickly Intan, towards the door that there is a security guard there.

“Pak, can call Brother Ranita, said Intan came to see.”

“Good Neng.” The guard answered while rushing to meet his master.

Shortly after, he returned with Ranita.

“Hei Intan what's the deck ?”

“Kak, I need Bang Niko to help me later.”

“Bang Niko ?”

“Yes, he will know the Father, so what is wrong if he is also we included in this plan.”

“Ooo, well, later will you tell him.”

“Thank you, yes brother. Excuse me first!”

“Not drinking first babe !”

“Negak brother next time, because I again hunted.”

“O is yes, alright !” ranita answered with a sweet smile.
