PILGRIMAGES

Chapter 16

Rendi drove her car to the city of Bandung.. Where Azizah's uncle and aunt lived there..

Azizah and Rendi really enjoyed the trip.. Sometimes they seem to laugh with their casual chatter..

" Oh Yes brother.. Then we will Pilgrimage first to my parents' tomb..!" Azizah..

" maybe.. Later skalian aq ask for blessing..?" Rendi..

" Haha.. Restu what sis..!" Azizah asked confusedly..

" Hehehe.." Rendi just smiled.. The more the day Azizah the more enchanting in the eyes of Rendi... Rendi was interested in Azizah from the beginning of college.. Azizah's simple appearance and Azizah's cleverness that made Rendi amazed.. But until now Rendi never revealed the contents of his heart to Azizah.. Rendi hopes Azizah will understand her feelings even without being said..

3 Hours of travel passed.. " We have entered Bandung.. Let's get some food first..!" Rendi..

" Yes Brother.. We pray dzuhur..!" Answer Azizah

Rendi stops the car at a Sunda Restaurant... After that, they ordered food..

While ordering food.. Azizah told Oma.. If he has arrived in London and is having lunch.. Azizah also reminded the oma not to be late for lunch..

Before long, the waiter who came to bring their order.. Rendi and Azizah immediately hit him..

" Oh yes Brother.. We pray in Mushola first yuk.." Azizah said when looking at the Restaurant that provides a place to worship..

Rendi nodded her head.. Finish praying.. Rendi and Azizah went to the cashier..

" Let Aq pay, brother..!" Azizah..

" Don't..! Let aq only.. You save your money to make your dream of having your own clinic..!" Said Rendi with a smile..

Azizah re-entered her wallet.. He won't win if Rendi wills.. Finished paying.. Rendi and Azizah headed for the parking lot..

" From here to your parents' grave is still a long way off..?" Ask Rendi..

" Not so far, brother..!" Answer Azizah..

" That means you already know the way here, right..!" Rendi..

" It must be brother... This street often passes Azizah when going to campus first..!"

" Then you bring the car.. I know you can drive it.. And aq also know you already have Sim.." said Rendi who made Azizah shocked..

" Hahh Where did you know..?" Tanya Azizah was curious..

Rendi takes out her wallet and gives Azizah's Sim...

" Why is there a sister..??"

" Yes that time it fell in the campus cafeteria.. The cafeteria mother found her..!" Rendi..

Azizah looked smiling.. " Alhamdulillaahot.. I don't realize if I fall.. At that time oma gave her morning and aq just put it into the bag because it was hunting.. Oma can be angry if she goes missing..!" Say Azizah while entering her SIM into the wallet..

" And so.. Don't like to rush if you take something.. Yes udaah Come on..!" Said Rendi while giving the car keys to Azizah..

With "Bismillaah.. " Azizah drives the car.. Heading to the graves of his parents..

Azizah pulled over her car at a Public Funeral Park.. Azizah and Rendi immediately went down.. Then Azizah bought flowers at the flower seller on the edge of the TPU..

" Assalamualaika the Gravedigger.. " Say Azizah as she enters her parents' public funeral..!" Then Azizah went down the tomb of her parents and Rendi followed behind her.. After arriving.. Azizah crouched down beside the tomb and recited prayers..

Rendi also crouched down and recited prayers.. I don't know what prayer Rendi said.. It looks very serious..

Finished praying.. Azizah sprinkles flowers.. After that Azizah was about to stand up but Rendi held her back...

" Wait Azizah..!" Said Rendi who then took something from inside her pants pocket..

" In front of the graves of your parents.. Let me propose to you..!" Say Rendi while opening the jewelry box that contains the jewel ring..

Azizah looked surprised by Rendi's expression..

" Serious Rendi's sister..??" Azizah asked in disbelief..

" Yes Azizah.. From the first time I met you.. There is something that makes me comfortable. 4 years with you makes me even more sure that I love you.. From the past until now.. The feeling did not decrease even more..!" Rendi said honestly..

" But brother.. My situation is like this.. Aq has no parents.. Aq is only a village person who may not be as level as the family of Rendi.. What about the parents and the big brother's family..!" Azizah..

" Azeze.. Yesterday when you allowed aq you could come pick up your uncle.. Aq immediately prepare all this.. Aq already told my wish to my parents.. They already know you even though only through photos.. All this time I was always open to my parents.. About ours.. About my feelings.. About your background.. Thank God my parents didn't mind.. It's just that they haven't allowed you to marry if your Mind has not materialized yet..!"

Azizah seemed touched to hear Rendi's words..

" Azeze.. This is not an official proposal.. It's just a symbol that aq loves you so much and aq doesn't want to lose you.. Later if our Mind has been realized.. Aq will propose to you officially..!" Say Rendi while pairing the ring on Azizah's ring finger..

Azizah seemed to be smiling happily.. His feelings for Rendi turned out to be reciprocated..

" One request, brother.. Please keep aq until we are absolutely halal..!" Azizah..

" certain.. Aq will always take care of you and this relationship.. May it happen until we are truly halal.. Aamiin..!"

Azizah was deeply moved to hear Rendi's words.. His eyes are glassy.. Azizah opened her glasses, then wiped the tears that almost fell with her hijab..

Rendi was gobsmacked with Azizah's very beautiful eyes.. For 4 new years this time Azizah opened her glasses in front of her..

Azizah put on her glasses again when she realized that Rendi was staring at her..

" Let's go to uncle's house..!" Azizah said to wake up Rendi's daydream..

" Oh yes Come on..!"

They also returned to the car.. And still Azizah is driving her..

Azizah drove her car slowly.. Because the distance from TPU to his uncle's house is not too far..

Azizah tells the story of her childhood on Rendi while crossing several places that became her fond memories with her friend friend.. The story of when he was thrown to times by Meri.. And often made crying by Meri and her friends.. Seen the look on Azizah's face that sometimes laughs and sometimes looks sad and disappointed..

Not to mention the attitude of Meri who did not want to budge in front of uncle and aunt.. Sometimes Azizah had to resist her disappointment because Meri always wanted to win by herself...
