Hijrah Me Because of You
Seconds

The next morning in Eldrich's room.

Eldrich continued to look at himself in front of the mirror as if he could not believe if he would officially convert to Islam today, it felt happy but also afraid of being mixed into one, as if he did not believe, he was afraid that his sins would be so much that he could not convert to Islam,

Eldrich let out a long breath.

"Haih.. Is it true that I can convert to Islam?... I still can't believe it," he then looked at his palm.

"Will Allah cut off my hand after converting to Islam? Or when I die I will be mercilessly tortured in hell?. Don't ask that for sure."

"Ah done.... I have to be sure, nothing will happen... It has to be like that, right.."

Then Eldrich went out for breakfast with his beloved grandmother,

" Hi Arne good morning, how are you feeling..?" Greet her grandmother when Eldrich is sitting down.

" Good grandma, very amazing...." Answer with a bright face.

"Thank God, Grandma was happy to hear it." said her grandmother with a smile.

" But Grandma, there's something troubling my mind,,,"

" something? What is it.." asked his grandmother.

" Will God forgive my sins, while many lives have been lost in my hands, I am cruel and inhuman, I fear God will not allow me to convert to Islam" His grandmother laughed at Eldrich's explanation.

Eldrich's forehead wrinkled to see his grandmother's reaction.

" Why is Grandma laughing, what is funny." she asked in surprise.

" Don't anyone tell you that once you convert to Islam, you'll be reborn, no matter what sins and mistakes you've committed in the past, you'll be a new person and get a new name. Didn't Ali tell you..?" Ask grandma.

Eldrich did not reply and only gave a puzzled expression.

"Seeing from the expression on your face, it seems like he did not say it. haha it seems like your friend was happy to judge you huh.." his grandmother's laughter broke.

" Granny stopped laughing, from last night I thought it was almost sleepless, grandma had to scold Ali I don't want to know anyway she should be scolded"

" apparently I have to cut the child's salary, "Eldrich said grumbling, in vain he thought about it almost overnight it would end like that, aih basic Ali very annoying.

" Hey hey.be polite to your parents, Ali is older than you, you can't be like.." said his grandmother.

" But I'm the boss, Grandma, so I can raise and lower the salary of the employee as I like and again I'm also a big and mature.." said Eldrich did not accept the article indirectly his grandmother insinuated that he was still a child.

" Oh yeah...? You know you were a baby in Grandma's eyes.."

" I even want to marry Grandma.wahh grandma really still consider me a baby, then what about my son later? Does after birth grandma consider her a fetus..?"

" Hhhhh.... Why talk about babies, you're a candidate not yet, where you might have a child, unless you impregnate a girl out there," said the granny mocked.

" Hhhh grandma why become like this, I already have a candidate.Look at that later I will bring a good girl to be a granddaughter-in-law grandmother.."

Eldrich did not want to lose to his grandmother.

" Grandmother will look forward to that day, grandma wants to see which girl will raise and take care of this baby granddaughter.." again Eldrich get an attack from her grandmother.

"Aishis.. " Eldrich is speechless. In his heart he prayed, that God would give Maira for him, so that he could avenge his grandmother's attack.

Breakfast was interspersed with warm chatter and jokes.

___With in the Al Faroughi Family Mansion

"Listen-heard your company's CEO was young, Al," after breakfast Ali's father opened the conversation.

" Yes bi, younger than me instead" replied Ali politely.

"Waaahh... Seriously, what kind of person," asked Maira suddenly.

" He's a good person and has a high curiosity, and is also very loyal to the company employees and also the handsome Mai Blasteran German-indo he." explained Ali.

" Then what's your position in the company, then,,?" Ask her again.

" In fact, when I applied to be Manager, because in the company opened a vacancy for it, 3 months as CEO secretary as well but now I'm already CFO there "

" Well, how about gtu,,?" Ask Abinya in wonder,

" I'm also confused about the matter of his interview suddenly someone picked me up to the special room of the CEO, about him, and he said the CEO of the company called me into his room and after that Abi knew what was going on? The CEO immediately bi who asked me to be his secretary, at first I was surprised not to play Bi, would not call sir but he msih young called his name was not polite wong he was his boss,,,"

" Trus kok bsa as Secretary gmna the story?," asked Abinya again.

" Yes offered gtu bi, trus right I asked him what the reason is even jawan gini bi (The answer is simple, because you have graduated master in Cairo and master 3 languages. how, how, did you accept my offer, though, about the salary, of course, your salary will be above average) and also when I ask if there is no contract signature or something like that is even answered (i believe you), I said, what strange western thinking all ya bi.."

"haha, strange indeed your boss, continued the position of CFO¹, you immediately ascended the position what?

"Alhamdulillah yes Bi, after 3 months of work as his secretary, he trusts the position of CFO to Ali Because he said Ali's talent dear if only as a secretary"

" It's your luck that Al met a boss whose loyalty is high and good at judging people, well that kind of rare." his Abi remark was indirectly praising Eldrich.

In office_

5 Minutes later, Ali arrived.

" Hey yoo brother, how're you," greeted Eldrich as Ali entered the room,

" Very well, how is it ready for noon,,?"

"Huh .... The afternoon? Not this morning, brother.."

"Kan kemaren has agreed ba'da prayers Friday, have you forgotten?.."

"Aishh. is so upset that he forgets,,,"

" Anged with who?..."

" Pake nanya who, yes you are the brother who else... why don't you tell me that a person who converts to Islam will be like a person who is reborn and gets a new name and his sin will be removed.."

"Then the problem..." Ali's question still doesn't understand.

" Arghhhhh. I was getting upset, did you not know, from last night I thought about half-dead sins that I committed, and how to make up for them, and how to make up for them, fortunately I could still sleep because I was tired of thinking, otherwise my eyes would have been like pandas by now, and again my good looks would have dropped ..." Gerrut Eldrich.

"buahaha... So you've been thinking about that all night, why don't you ask?" Ali's laughter broke out as soon as Eldrich was very funny.

" Brother I don't know how I can ask..."

" What a sin did you commit, until you thought." asked Ali curiously.

"If I tell you you must hate me brother, I'm sure of it..." Eldrich's lethargic speech.

" Hey, I'm going to be open-minded, so be calm," Ali reassured.

"promises... " Eldrich clenched his hand.

"promises... " Toss

Eldrich recounts that he was a mob boss, Guns always perched in his hands drinks already familiarly greeting his throat at all times, killing people is one of his specialties, Guns always perched on his hands, but 1 that he never did was touch women let alone women at night, because Eldrich was very concerned about cleanliness he was afraid that the woman was infected with some kind of bacteria or even HIV disease.

Eldrich told what he could tell and slightly censored parts that he felt did not need to be told, like women, and killed people.he only told me if he had used firearms and liked to drink.

After hearing the story of Eldrich, Ali was very surprised that the person who became his best friend today was once a cold-blooded man without compassion.

"Brother don't stay silent, my sins are many... Yeah kann..." Said Eldrich who panicked to see Ali who was just silent, and his eyes had turned a little red, he was afraid in case Eldrich hated him and would no longer guide himself to Islam.

" I still can't believe El, it turns out that such a world really exists..." Said Ali who was confused as to what kind of expression.

" It's really there brother, I experienced it myself, if you don't believe one day I'll meet you with one of them..."

" No no... Later if my head in the headshot how... I don't want to, let's just say I believe.."

" They wouldn't dare to calm down.. "

After the conversation, time passed until the clock showed at 11:30

" Let's El go now, afraid it will get stuck" Ali asked

" Ok brother, but where are we going why so early.."

" Istiqlal Mosque." replied Ali briefly as he passed towards the underground parking lot.

" Loh not the usual mosque, is it,,? Why go all the way there" asked Eldrich, trailing Ali behind.

" I want to make your first moment feel amazing El, there are more pilgrims. Come on. don't have to ask a lot later you know yourself.."

20 minutes drive finally arrived, lucky the road ny not so jammed.

Eldrich took Ali to Wudhu.

" Wait brother, I have not yet converted to Islam is it possible to set foot that close to the mosque?..." Eldrich asked fearfully.

Ali took a breath..

"Hey.you have nothing to fear, come on.."

Eldrich according to,

At this time Ali was taking Wudhu, while he was just looking at it.

" Wash your face El, your legs and your hands too.."

" Oh well" again Eldrich just complied.

Before entering Ali told Eldrich to sit in front near the entrance to wait for him, while Ali met someone who was none other than the imam of the Istiqlal Mosque who would pray Friday prayers later.

Then Ali looked for Eldrich at the place and told Eldrich to wait there until he was called.

Ali entered the mosque while Eldrich waited in front with his heart continuing to beat irregularly.

Before the first adhan begins the priest announces that after Friday prayers the worshippers are expected not to disperse first, because there will be a tourist from Germany who uttered the phrase creed that afternoon and expected pilgrims to be witnesses of the sacred moment, ali deliberately called Eldrich a tourist because how long Eldrich would stay in Indonesia was not the most important.

eldrich's heart is pounding more and more irregular, meaning he will be witnessed by many people during Islam?.
