The atmosphere in the car during the trip felt so quiet. Because between me, Light and I don't know what the girl's name is, we didn't meet each other to start a conversation after what we just had. And for a moment I didn't believe in myself, if I'd been so willing to take such a big risk. Intending to come to Edinburgh for a vacation, precisely the thing that was never unexpected just happened.
"U-Umi, is Umi okay?"
Finally I heard the voice of Light after we arrived in front of the Edinburgh Central Mosque in a stammering tone worrying about my situation. And I must be able to maintain an attitude so that the Light is not too worried. Not only Light, but Yulian and Arjuna, do not let them worry after hearing what has just happened.
"Alhamdulillah, Umi is fine, Light. Don't worry too much after seeing this!"
"But the figure of the man is so dangerous, Umi. What if ... something happens to Umi? Better, Umi undo the intention of Umi." The light held my finger which felt cold.
"Light, Umi does not want if Umi undo what has become Umi's desire to report it to the police station. Because, if Umi stops here it will be even more dangerous for other women. So, Umi beg you not to worry too much." I also stared at the Light so closely.
Finally Light nodded slowly to comply with my request. Although it was visible from her face that Light was still worried about my circumstances. And to eliminate the worry that still lingers in the Light and reassure him more, I said, "Light, Umi please let go and eliminate the worry! Not that Umi felt no worry or fear to face all this after Umi reported it to the police, but for Umi it is best to seek justice. Where the position of any woman is higher than the position of men. And a woman does not deserve to be denigrated as ... She's."
The light also stared at the hooded girl who was still sitting in the passenger seat while lowering her gaze. Either He still felt fear, pain or even more than that. That made the heart of Light touched, until finally the Light supported me to fight injustice in Islam. After I and Cahaya were calm enough, we decided to meet Yulian and Arjuna who were still in the mosque except, the hooded girl whom I had not asked her name.
"Remember the Light, Umi wants to talk about this matter when we arrive at the hotel later. So don't say a word to Abi or Arjuna!"
"Okay, Umi." The light nodded slowly.
Right we entered the mosque, the sound of adhan maghrib had sounded so melodious. Tapping on my shaky heart to immediately pray and meet God in my complaint. Yulian and I haven't seen each other yet, because we're still in a different room. When I was about to follow the congregation that was about to take place, I was suddenly startled by the presence of the hooded girl in the crowd of people who were about to pray.
"Do you want to join the party?"
"Is it okay if I just look? Because I don't understand what it's like and how." The girl swept over everyone who was in every corner of this Mosque room.
I nodded slowly too to say yes. Then I decided to leave the girl and follow the Imam to perform the Maghrib prayer immediately. And it didn't take long to do it, about twenty minutes already the prayer we were doing together was over. However, I no longer saw the girl in the back row. So I immediately came out of the mosque to find out where he was.
"Light, let's get out!"
"Where is He, Umi? It's impossible, right, if he just left?"
"Umi doesn't know where she is, Light. Umi was worried about her condition." I looked at all the corners of the street across there, but nil.
"With the disappearance of Him, we can be free from the problem, Umi? It would have been impossible if, too, we had continued the report without His presence." The light looked at me question markingly.
I momentarily fell silent and digested every meaningful word from the lips of Light. Then, I thought back to what was our main goal to go to Edinburgh. Just having fun, as a new couple like Arjuna with Light. And their happiness is more important than anything, it may be too selfish if I continue what I want - defending justice for a girl I don't know yet.
"No taste, Light. Forgive Umi, because Umi you and Arjuna have not got happiness while on vacation here. And Umi promised, nothing is more important than happiness for both, the two children of Umi." I rubbed my cold cheeks.
I shook my head slowly and said, "Don't say anything about what happened!" After that I let go of the smile so that Light can release the burden he thought while remembering the unwanted.
Soon after, Yulian and Arjuna came to us. After that, they also invited us to immediately return to the hotel, releasing a moment of fatigue in the soul. Me and the Light were so trying to cover up the bitterness and fear that momentarily lay within us. So that there is no suspicion that stands out, to provoke questions that will corner us later.
"Arjuna-Cahaya, please listen to what Abi is going to say! Because Abi will never repeat for tonight." Said Yulian who remained focused on the highway in Edinburgh.
"Yes, Bi. Just say! Arjuna will listen as best he can." Arjuna looked at Yulian from the rearview mirror.
"The migration of love that you decide to share will be present only once in your life. So, you guys have to take care of each other! And you must always have a good faith in each of you. Where you must understand each other, even you must make each other happy." Yulian said while staying focused while on the road.
"Surely Arjuna and Light will apply to always be kind, understand each other and also love each other. For the greetings of the household, if it is not in love, the household will be bland. Isn't that right, Bi-Mi?"
"Of course, honey. However, love for a partner is not obligated beyond our love for God. For it is God who is able to meet us with our love in the world and in the book of Lauhul Mahfuz." I also explained what is obligatory and sunnah in accordance with Islam to my children.
"Emm, and one more thing. Don't forget you gave Abi and Umi you're a grandchild. The right moment to make that, it fits here perfectly. How's it?"
"Pig." Seruku while pinching Yulian's stomach.
"Aww, sick baby!"
"Mistake himself such a curse against his own son. Try if there's Ahtar here, Abi can't act weird." I said while holding back laughter.
"What's wrong with Ahtar, Mi?"
"No dear, Umi was just kidding. Jagan was too thought out!"
Laughter has graced our journey along the way. And it made me feel better for a moment after facing such a violent slap and such a vile insult from a Jewish man. It may be true, if a Jew would never know the beauty of Islam. But at the very least, they should be able to have a conscience towards anyone especially a woman. Somehow I often see women being harassed here? Not only that, even the woman herself could not maintain her dignity as a glorified woman. However, the city of Edinburgh still wants me to explore because I love this city.
"Wherever He may be, You will protect him, O God." I was in my mind about the girl in the hood.
A few minutes later we arrived at the hotel. Not waiting for a long time we also rushed to each room to immediately throw fatigue all day. However, I did not want to rest comfortably before I cleaned my sticky body out of sweat. So that I immediately went into the bathroom upon arrival in the hotel.
"Aw! It hurts!"
I saw on the bathroom glass a slap wound that made my cheek melt. Even at the tip of my lips there was a trace of blood there. And then I remembered whether she was a girl or a family, because I didn't know for sure. Sadness came to my heart when I lost it. I would love to be reunited with him. But, I don't know?
