HIJRAH LOVE
Missing the City of Medan


After I had a wonderful dinner and felt so special, it was time to return to God with Julian in fulfilling our obligations throughout life in the world. Julian stood before me to do his duty as a priest, and I, standing behind Yulian, was on the right side. Not long after, Yulian called for a takbir voice, in which the prayer would be us. lamgsungkan with as-kushu' as possible.


"Assalamu'alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh." Yulian said his greetings while turning to the right side then, to the left side.


"Assalamu'alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh." I also followed Julian as a priest.


After the greeting, do not forget we call dhikr to calm the heart and mind that momentarily felt burdened. Fifteen minutes have passed, too, after finishing the five prayers we decided to resume the dinner together in this room with some dishes from the restaurant in this hotel. You could say this moment became a moment that I can not forget just like that. Where there, above the sky is seen my name and the name of Yulian has been beautifully engraved along with the firework.


"How, do you like the surprise I gave you, Aisyah?"


"Thank God, I really like it, Mom. But, how could Mas Yulian do all that?"


"Maybe you don't believe what I'm going to say. But you should know that I was helped by Tristan and Arumi." Yulian replied explaining then, he developed his lips.


When I was shocked, how could Tristan and Arumi so easily help Yulian prepare for the beauty of this night, in the city of Edinburgh as the city of my dreams. And to make sure it came back, I asked Yulian a question to let Yulian explain it back in detail to me. Because I'm still curious about Yulian's arrival with Arumi.


"What, Tristan and Arumi?"


"Yes, Aisha. At first I just called Tristan to ask him to help me in this matter, and when I communicated with Tristan through a video call, Arumi just arrived there. As it turns out, Arumi is none other than Tristan's wife. Either this by chance or what?"


"Mas Yulian, Tristan and Arumi are married couples?"


"Yes, Aisyah. Surely you don't just believe it either, right? And for me this life is narrow, we are met with those who turn out to be married couples." Julian chuckled.


After hearing the story from Yukian, which I had never expected before, I felt really guilty to Arumi for the charges I had leveled at her. Maybe if other people in my position felt the same way. Having a sense of suspicion that makes themselves unable to withstand the turmoil of the burning jealous fire. However, the misunderstanding had ended after the heart had turned out not to harden, the eyes were not blind and the lips were said to be well mannered.


"But, I thought they were very compatible and looked very harmonious, Mas." Reveal me imagining Arumi and Tristan in my dreams.


"That is destiny and soul mate. We'll never know who he is, where he's coming from and it's all about our soul mate. Likewise with us, even though we have tied a sacred promise, if God wills otherwise then we are not a mate. However, God is always on our side, always met after passing many obstacles. And I'm grateful to this day and even this second, we're still together, Aisyah." Slowly Yulian clasped my pointed finger.


Yulian embraced me in her sturdy body, then we looked back at the sky filled with the beauty of the fireworks bloom. And when we were enjoying the romantic atmosphere suddenly my phone rang, indicating a call came into my number. So that made me immediately leave the atmosphere that washed away while in the arms of Yulian.


"Ahwat?"


Yes, that call was none other than Ahtar, my second son. I don't know, why did he call at the wrong time? However, I must still raise his call, because anyone knows it matters. And I said my greetings after receiving Ahtar's call, "Assalamu'alaikum."


"Guil, Umi." Ahtar smiled with a smile.


"What are you calling, baby? Is there anything important?"


Without me noticing the lights in this hotel room haven't been turned back on by Yulian. And it made me feel clumsy when I wanted to answer Ahtar's question. So I also asked Yulian to immediately turn on the lights in this room. Not long after this room lights up so brightly. However, the mistake again occurred when Ahtar accidentally saw some of the order of my romantic dinner with Yulian.


"Wait around! Don't tell me that Umi and Abi are romantically-romantic continuously deliberately extinguishing the lights when they want to do that? Argha! Ahtar being a bully dong? The baby is not yet dong?"


For a moment I and Yulian were silent, then looked at each other while holding back a laugh that made me feel amused at Ahtar's attitude as if to continue to corner us. However, soon afterwards Julian met and gave Ahtar an answer of every word. Whereas I only became a good and loyal listener when they joked with each other over the phone.


"That's the sign, her brother's already evil. Because it was at an inopportune time,"


"Haha! Sorry, brother, deck! After that, his brother misses Umi, Bi. As it has been centuries not to meet you, only the grandfather who accompanied Ahtar at home, it is not exciting." Grutu Ahtar while singing the tip of his lips.


"Dec, it can't be like that! Adek must be able to be independent, especially soon the graduation day will arrive. Where it will be the starting point Adek to become an even more mature man, like bang Juna." Yulian said softly.


"Yes, Bi. God willing Ahtar will try to be more mature. Oh yeah, how's bang Juna the same sister of Light over there?"


"Alhamdulillah, everything is good here. What about you and your grandfather in the field?"


"Alhamdulillah, Ahtar and Grandpa are also good, Bi. But, these few days it's a field in the rain, Bi." Ahtar also showed the atmosphere of the city of Medan when it was raining.


"You and Grandpa should take care of your health. Don't neglect to wear a mask while traveling." Pinta Yulian reminded Ahtar of a world that was not okay a few years ago to this day that still has to be watched out.


A few minutes later, the phone conversation ended. And it made me realize that this self was also longing for the city of Medan, the city of birth to my two biological parents. Which I made as a stopover until my old day, precisely the luxury house in Griya Riatur Medan. Helvetia, Medan, North Sumatra.


"Mas, somehow I started to miss the city of Medan. Starting from the atmosphere there, togetherness there, Aisyah Galery and other activities there." I expressed my longing for the city of Medan to Yulian.


"You take it easy, Aisyah. Once you feel the satisfaction here, then you can choose when we will return home." Yulian rubbed my cheek gently.


I nodded slowly, agreeing with every soft word Yulian addressed to me. And it happened again, where Arjuna was present when I and Yulian wanted to give each other a kiss on the lips. So I must open the door for Arjuna. However, before that I did not forget for me to wear my hijab and veil.


"Arjuna, what's wrong?"


"Emm, Arjuna wants to take Abi and Umi to the golf course. How's it?"


"Well, that sounds great! All right, Abi's going there. How, Umi?"


"Emm, Umi will come with you guys." I answered, looking at the Light who was nodding his head, as if he were asking me to come with them.


And now, the four of us headed together to the golf course that has been provided at this hotel. The location is also not too far from this hotel. It didn't take us long to get to the golf course. And on the field we all let off laughter together because, seeing the behavior of a father who does not want to lose to his son. Suddenly, my phone rang. Signs that a message is coming in, who is it from?
