THE SCREAMS OF AN ORPHAN'S HEART

Bahri made a decision

In Mecca.

"Bahri, I know you're hiding something from me as well as Humairah." said Nilam probing while looking at Bahri.

"What's up, brother..?"bahri asked pretending to be ordinary, he tried to cover everything with a smile, there was something that could not be interpreted Nilam from the Bahri smile, there was something hidden from behind the Bahri smile.

"Bahri, why did you suddenly decide to delay your return to Indonesia..?and choose to stay in Mecca, even unmitigated you postpone it to 2 years.." said Nilam confused, even souvenirs that they are ready to take home to Indonesia, Indonesia,already Bahri sent through the shipping package, so that brother Nilam is not troubled when returning home alone, Nilam is often returned from Indonesia to Mecca, because he has a travel to bring people who want to go Hajj and umrah.

"I just feel comfortable living here, sister, and Humairah also has agreed if we stay here for the next 2 years" Sahut Bahri, said,either way or how Bahri convinced his wife, so that his wife would.

"What..!then what about your family..? haven't they all been waiting for your return?" ask Nilam.

"The family in Indonesia also already know and they also agree, with my decision" said Bahri with a smile, because according to them Bahri's decision to keep his wife was very appropriate, Nilam was also agape at hearing it.

"So I'm the only one who just found out..? Bahri, I'm sure that's not the only reason that made you decide to stay here, why don't you just tell me" protested Nilam, he felt annoyed at Bahri, he said, because only he was not told, in fact Bahri did not not want to tell Nilam about this problem, only he was afraid if Nilam keceplosan talk to his wife, after all, anyway, Nilam will also soon return to Indonesia, and automatically he will soon know the news about what Bahri experienced.

"Bahri, I know there's something else you're hiding, and yesterday you lied to Humairah about my embroidered cloth, right, I know very well that my cloth was never dusty"said Nilam, Bahri was silent to hear him, this time Bahri could not dodge anymore, Bahri was,maybe it's time he told this to his cousin's sister who he already considers his own brother.

"It is not so Nilam, actually.-" Bahri's speech paused, because it was immediately cut by Nilam.

"Bahri, tell me the truth, there's a problem what happened to you..?"asked Nilam forcefully while probing, before Bahri answered, he let out a long sigh.

After that, then Bahri immediately told all his problems to Nilam, starting his ship that sank until the news Nur who wanted a divorce, he did not want his wife to feel shock when returning to Indonesia later, he said,even Bahri to beg his entire family, so that no one told Humairah, Nilam was very surprised to know,he did not expect his cousin's sister to bear the burden of a very large mind.

"Now I understand why you decided to stay in Mecca for a while" said Nilam, he felt saddened by the circumstances of his cousin's sister who he had considered like his own younger brother.

"I have asked Abah for an opinion, and Abah also suggested that I stay first in Mecca with Humairah" Bahri told me, before he made the decision, Bahri had asked Kyai Ridwan for advice first, he also suggested that for a while Bahri postpone his return to Indonesia first and prepare himself by birth and mind to face all this.

"Sister Nilam, please do not tell this news to Humairah first" asked Bahri, Nilam nodded his head.

"Of course Bahri, but slowly you have to immediately tell the Humairah, I am worried if one day he will know to others "saran Nilam.

"Surely my brother, I just waited for the right time, to talk to Humairah" Bahri said.

Bahri was busy struggling with a special electric sewing machine embroider the one he just bought, Humairah walked while bringing a cup of warm tea and snacks for her husband.

"What's your mom doing...?"humairah asked as she approached her husband, then put the tea and snacks near her husband.

"Can you..?I've only learned a few weeks can not-can, and always wrong, the edges even his sister Nilam who gave up teaching me" complained Humairah while singing her lips, Bahri was chuckling to hear her.

"You alone are less patient and painstaking deck, this mas can kok.."sahut Bahri, while showing the results of his embroidery is finished, looks very beautiful and good.

"Masya Allah.a very beautiful embroidery mas" said Humairah while smiling in admiration.

During their stay in Mecca Bahri learned to embroider the Hajj cloth that is usually worn on the head by female pilgrims, they used to call it the head bolang, which is called the head bolang,the finished Bahri embroidery would be sold to several markets by the Arabs, and the results were enough for them to survive in Mecca, because Humairah could not embroider, he said,he also sometimes makes various kinds of Indonesian pastries, which are sold to Arabs in Mecca, Arabs are very fond of Indonesian cakes, they say Indonesian cakes taste good, from the results it is Humairah can send monthly money to his children in the village.

(For the curious form of embroidery bolang Bahri made, like this example yes)



"Humairah, accompany her sister to the underground market yuk.."ajak Nilam, she wants to shop for materials to embroider, and at the same time shop for her family's souvenirs later,Humairah turned to her husband for permission.

"Go, when you're done quickly go home" Bahri said, nodding his head and smiling.

"Good mas"sahut Humairah, then immediately put on his veil, in Mecca indeed most Arab women wear a veil and black clothes are very long.

They also immediately went to the underground market, there are very many that are sold at very cheap prices, provided we are good at bidding and speaking Arabic, if not.. they will sell at a price that is expensive, but many Indonesians also sell there, the more Humairah day the more proficient in Arabic, because he often accompanied and heard Nilam communicate with the Arabs.

(Oya, for those who are curious what kind of pastry is sold by Humairah, this is an example of yes & )
