HIJRAH LOVE

HIJRAH LOVE
Performing Duty


When I helped Yulian prepare some clothes and other equipment that will be brought to Surabaya later suddenly the sound of the dawn Adhan has been echoed with his cries. So that I and Yulian must immediately stop our activities to continue the congregational dawn prayer. However, earlier we cleaned our bodies first in turn.


"O God, perhaps now You are reexamining Your people to be more patient when distance and time will separate us again. May you always do my husband's business!"


I stared incessantly at Yulian from all corners of my view and wherever he went. My heart seemed to have broken when it came to accepting the separation that we would live for approximately one month. Maybe it wasn't long, because I had been separated from Yulian for almost a year. And it was not because of his old work, but the coming of covid-19 that swept across the world. The virus is so dangerous that many Indonesians lose their lives.


Fifteen minutes had passed, and Yulian had finished his ritual. And now it's my turn to do my thing in the bathroom. As for Yulian, he would wait for me to perform the dawn prayer together.


As always, it didn't take me long to be in there. It took fifteen minutes for my body to drown and get tired, even if it was just for a moment. And now I am preparing to be a makmum in prayer. So did Julian who was preparing to become a priest.


"Assalamu'alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh." Greetings twice.


As a teacher, I did the same with the priest. Salam twice as a sign of prayer has ended. After that, we did the following by reciting the holy verses of the Quran. However, the efforts we had together did not last long, as Yulian had to re-prepare some of the files in his work. As for me, I still continue to read the holy verses of the Quran.


"Shodakallahulazim."


I also finished reading the holy verses of the Quran, and I closed the scriptures that I read earlier. After that, I did my usual activities, fighting in the kitchen room. Indeed, this body feels tired after a long journey and after that does not immediately rest, but the task of a wife and mother is one of them preparing food for the family.


"What is cooking?"


I opened the fridge and made sure I could cook for today. And after I opened it, there was not the slightest cooking ingredient to just have breakfast together. So that makes me feel confused about what to cook for all of them. When I was overwhelmed with confusion that twisted my brain, suddenly Papa Adhi came to me.


"Aisha, what do you want?"


"Eh, there's Papa. Aisyah actually wants to cook anyway, Pa. But ... there's no ingredients for Aisyah cooking." I pointed towards the refrigerator.


"Indeed, Papa deliberately asked Bibik not to buy cooking ingredients as long as you and the others left. Same with today, so you don't have to bother fighting in the kitchen. Papa's set it up, you take it easy!"


After saying that, Papa Adhi just went. Which makes me feel weird about my father-in-law's behavior. However, I feel grateful to have my father-in-law who always loved me like his biological daughter. Even after my own family was gone to attend and accompany me. Papa Adhi always spoils me, like Yulian did the same.


"Then I'd better make them coffee." My hands moved preparing a few cups.


After making a warm drink in the morning for all residents in this house, I also help aunt who works in the front area while breathing the soothing morning air for a moment. But before that, I called out to all of them who were still in their respective hiding places, except for Papa Adhi. Because I saw him exercising in front of the house.


"Pa, drink the warm coffee first!"


"Oh yes, Ayesha. Thanks for the coffee!"


I nodded slowly to say no to Papa Adhi. After that, I continued my duties as a dream housewife. Which always beberes house and so forth, as well as when I water the plant so that some flowers embedded in the pot fertile again, even giving birth to new flowers. Which will give beauty as well as fragrance in this park.


"Package." Shouted someone from outside the fence of this house.


After hearing someone shout I immediately saw who came this early. And that was none other than a young man who worked as a delivery man from a restaurant that was probably already ordered by Papa Adhi earlier. I immediately inked the ink on the white paper as a sign of acceptance of what had been ordered. Then, I immediately brought some of the parcels I was tenting into the kitchen. However, before that did not forget to express gratitude to the young man.


"Good, Mom. I'll get you some containers and some plates." Then, the feet stepped with a sense of spirit.


Now I'm doing my job as a wife as well as a mother, where I prepared some ammo to fill their stomachs this morning. Even though it was not the result of my efforts, but still I had to prepare well, which was helped by my beloved woman. And when it was ready, I put it on the dinner table.


"We have breakfast together first, before everyone will return to their respective duties." Invite me to serve some food on the dining table.


They also took their seats to immediately hold an event this morning, except for Light. Because he is more comfortable sitting on his wheelchair. And we all appreciate it, because we are aware of the lack of Light. Before we started breakfast, I asked my aunt to join us. After that, it is the youngest who leads the prayer before eating.


"Bismilbornrahmanirrahim. Allahumma bariklana fiima rojaktana vakina adzabannar. Aamiin!"


After the prayer recitation we immediately take and eat the food that has been served to fill the stomach that feels empty. We enjoyed the meal without a sound. However, when in the middle we eat food suddenly Light nausea. I don't know why I don't know for sure? So I immediately memorized it to ask the state of his body. Could the light be sick? Or even pregnant?


"Light, what's wrong with you? Is the food bad? Or ... how?"


"Sound. Light doesn't know Umi, but it feels like it's going to vomit but it can't get out and Light's head feels dizzy." The light lowered his gaze.


"Light, are you sick?" ask Arjuna.


"Maybe just tired, Mom. I'd better go back to the room first!"


"Yes, Light. Your face is pale, you better rest!" timbrung Yulian later.


"Dear, it's true what Abimu said. Arjuna, take your wife to the room! Later Umi will follow after making porridge for Light." I gave a thin smile.


Arjuna got out of his seat immediately. Then push the wheelchair along with Light to head to their room. As for me, I went back to fighting in the kitchen and immediately made porridge for Light. However, when this henfak foot stepped suddenly Arjuna's hand stopped that step by holding my hand. So I turned my body immediately to look at her.


"Let Arjuna check the state of Light right now! If He's sick, he can rest, but if He's pregnant, we should be on standby to take care of him." A faint smile had attracted the two ends of his lips.


Both of my eyes immediately flashed, feeling how happy I would be if the Light was pregnant with my first grandchild. Instantly I nodded slowly to confirm Yulian's request. Then, I took a quick step towards Arjuna's room and asked him to check on the state of Light. Because Arjuna must know that the Light is indeed pregnant.


"Arjuna-Cahaya, Umi wants to talk to you for a moment." My feet stepped up and went into their room which was deliberately not closed.


"Yes Umi, what's wrong?"


"Arjuna, baby. Aren't you an obstetrician, so it's not wrong to check on your wife. Yeah .. Who knew Light was pregnant with you two." I settled them.


"Maybe what Umi said has a point as well. Then Arjuna will carry out Arjuna's duties as a Doctor." Arjuna hurried to pick up some of the equipment he was going to use.


I am waiting for the results that will answer this problem. Not only me, but all those who are outside are also waiting for news that will answer this. My heart was mixed, there was anxiety and there was hope. The happy news always wants me to hear, but if it's not time we will all wait with a patient heart. Because we know it will be present at the will of Allah SWT. If God had trusted His people, then God would have said, "Yet fairakun." Then Muslims will believe that there is no God but Allah SWT.
