The central city of all Muslims in the world gathers, which is united at the time of Hajj, as well as when Umrah.

Here they are, in a city full of caromah. At four o'clock in the afternoon they departed from the city of Medina to the city of Mecca. At half-six, they checked into the hotel.

"Ehh?" Zahwa fell in shock, as he felt a round burly hand on his already bloated stomach.

The hand moved gently stroking his stomach. The more comfort she gets when she rests her head on the chest of the taller man behind her, who is none other than her husband.

Since then his eyes sparkled even now glazed. Watching the tawaf crowd surround the Kaaba, from the transparent windows of her hotel room.

All seemed close and it felt as if his heart was trembling more and more as he realized that he was really close to the Kaaba.

One of his dreams is to go to worship to visit the Kaaba. Truly speechless it felt very happy that his dream had come true. Realized by the man who becomes the port of his love.

Zahwa straightened his body and turned around. Make the two face each other now.

Without a word of warning he immediately hugged the body firmly in front of him and cried pouring out his happiness there.

"Husssta... Don't thank me Queen.. But thank Allah SWT who has provided sustenance, favors and opportunities so that we can be here. I didn't do anything. All things happen by Allah's permission, may you always be happy to be by my side. You are the woman God sent me and it is clear that you are my responsibility to make you happy, dear.."

"God.hiks..hiks.." Zahwa grew sobbing at the word for word that her husband said

No one can match the power of God if God wills. Allah Akbar!

After this they prepared and came out of the room and headed for the group to perform thawaf. Umi Alya, Buya Firman, Father Ali and Mother Fatimah have been there since. And after all the members were complete they walked into the Grand Mosque on the right foot while reading:

"Allahumma antassalaam, waminkassalaam fahayyinaa rabbanaa bissalaam wa adkhilnal jannata daarassalaam tabaarakta wata'aalaita yaa dzaljalaali wal ikraam. Allahummaftah lii abwaaba rahmatika wamaghfiratika wa adkhilnii. Bismillahi walhamdulillahi wasshalaatu wassalaamu 'alaa rasuulillaah"

It means: "O God Thou art the source of salvation, and from Thee comes all salvation. So welcome us, O Lord, with peace and input us into the paradise of Your happy land, Blessed and Exalted, O Lord of glory and honor. O Allah open for me the door of mercy and forgiveness, and put me into Your Forgiveness. In the name of Allah and praise Allah and peace be upon the Messenger."

Next they go to thawaf or mataf. The congregation began thawaf from a straight line near Hajar Aswad, between the door of the Kaaba and the sign of the green light on the top floor of the Grand Mosque.

After the completion of Thawaf, proceed with the prayer of two rakaats in front of Maqom Ibrahim. On this occasion Zahwa again poured all his gratitude to the Lord. The last prostration that intercedes to convey gratitude to Allah SWT.

After they had pleaded there, they were now very relieved and very close to God. Here think of nothing else but to remember worship and to draw near to Allah.

Strike by series was passed, now when he rested for a while and drank zam-zam water.

They again walked out of the shaf line towards the Zam-Zam water tap.

"Aww... Oh.." ringis Zahwa is in pain

His knees and hands hurt from hitting the floor. There were some worshippers who he seemed to expect to see from their posture and their faces from Africa pushing him away, as everyone was jostling.

With the rest of his strength he tried to stand up and avoid the footing and footsteps of people from various countries.

Regardless of what happens, Zahwa falls back for the second time when his game is again trampled and dragged.

"Astaghfirullahal 'adzim. O Allah.."

I think Zahwa wants to cry. He had not seen their entourage again, and he did not know when his grip from Akhtar's hand was released.

"Yes Allah..Wawa had to go where" his mind pleaded for not seeing anything but the body of a large tall person surrounded him.

"Astaghfirullahal.. Astaghfirullahal..Astaghfirullahal..Abaghfirullahal 'adziim.."
