HIJRAH LOVE

HIJRAH LOVE
Jesica


Hello, Lady Aisyah! How are you?"


Greet Mrs Emeli to me in a polite tone, even though she herself did not answer my greetings. Maybe he is not a citizen who adheres to Islam. So that he could not answer the greetings that he had to answer. However, the Indonesian state is more beautiful with all tolerances, which is able to appreciate every member of different religions.


"Oh yeah, I'm fine! Sorry for making you wait so long!"


"It's okay, after all, me and my daughter are also just coming. So, just relax!"


I nodded slowly to say yes and did not forget I threw a smile to Madam Emeli and also her daughter no matter what her name. Don't have to wait a long time to mince words anymore, because that wasn't my performance all along. So that I immediately continued the purpose of the meeting between us.


"Oh yes Mrs Emeli, here are some examples of the design of her wedding dress. If you want to see first, please!"


I handed some paper to Mrs Emeli on the nightstand, which was already drawn with some of the wedding dress designs I had made. About five pieces of dress designs are ready to be sewn in the tailor special Aisyah Galery. Likewise with Mrs Emeli, she was sorting out and choosing some examples of dress designs with her daughter.


"It looks like this one alone, Madame Aisyah!"


"Oh this is it, Mrs Emeli? Yes already, God willing I will soon hand it over to his tailor today as well. But before, Mrs Emeli please filled in for the day and date of use. So that I can control the manufacturing." I also gave a large book to Mrs Emeli.


"Oh, okay!"


Likewise with Mrs Emeli who immediately filled the day and date where her daughter's wedding will take place. After that, Mrs Emeli and her daughter shook hands as a form of agreement between the seller and the customer. Then, Lady Emeli said goodbye to leaving Aisyah Galery, but not with her daughter.


"I don't no. I don't know how to call you. Since it is impossible if, I call you by his name directly. I don't think that's polite" Jesica said.


"You can call me ... Umi." My reply with a thin smile.


"What's? I don't understand why you asked me to call like that. What's...."


"That's a child's call to his mother. Let's just say I'm your mother, your friend, and whoever you like. But, if you mind it's okay. Just call as you like." I smile back.


Looks stunned Jesica, I don't know what is in her mind. However, I would not be angry if he would eventually call me by my name alone. Because to me it is life. Where is the present era that young people always act with as they please.


"Ok, I'll call you with ... Umi." Said Jesica a little gagu.


"And sorry if I've interrupted time ... Umi, but I have something. Can you have a minute?"


"Emm .. no problem. You can just talk here, or ... want to go somewhere?"


"Oh no's. Enough here, all of you want to look around in Aisyah Galery. Can, right?"


"certain. Talk about what you want to say!"


I also invited Jesica to sit on the sofa of my work space. We also started a conversation where it was about the religion I professed. Which makes me not understand why Jesica asked that. Could it be if he wanted to convert? Or just wondering, because in the city of Medan is more dominant with citizens who embrace Islam.


"But, sorry if my question has made Umi angry or think something wrong." Jesica bowed his head.


"It's okay if you want to know more about what Islam is like. Islam is beautiful, fun and there are many thousands of tolerances from Islam itself. Where there is no distinction between one and the other. As we are now, I do not distinguish and do not even move away from those of you who are not Muslims." I clearly stared at him deeply.


"But what I wonder is, why is Umi dressed like this? This is very different from some of my friends who claim Islam. Many of them don't even wear a hijab. Is that a consequence?"


"Maybe it's true with what you said, Jesica. That's Islam! But you need to know one thing, the consequences are very large if we are already in the call of Allah SWT. For Islam commands women to cover the most beautiful crown with a piece of cloth extended to cover the chest. But ... Not many children in this era are able to do it. And it has to go back to ourselves, too,"


Jesica fell silent, not saying a word after hearing my explanation of the dress recommended in Islam. And like I said, we have to go back inside each of us. If you feel confident to migrate and get better, then you must completely cover the aura from head to toe. Likewise with me who now really feel comfortable and a more secure world when I am close to Him.


"Jesica, is there something you want to ask again?" many ensure.


"Actually I was curious about the covered clothes, praying and hijab. But I realize how stupid I would be to do that. While I myself ... still adhere to Protestant Christianity. Doesn't that sound funny or even impossible?"


"Jesica, there is no impossible word if you really mean to become a convert. And if you have a desire to know more about Islam then, you need to read about what kind of Islam. You can come with me if you want to read it." Bargain me with a thin smile.


"All right! I'll come with you!"


I also invited Jesica to come with me home and gave her a book about Islam. That afternoon Jesica and I really enjoyed the atmosphere of the city streets are quite crowded. Even we on every trip do not stop talking with the same topic.
