Let Me Fall in Love
59. See You Tomorrow
An hour and a half passed from my mother's departure to school. Because it is awaited, it feels like time is passing very slowly. Ami has done a social media scroll, read the group chat class turned out that all of them did not come to school. Chat with Akbar was impossible to continue because the CEO was busy. "Was "Bollywood that? Not in the mood." He speaks for himself. Never this story waiting for Mom to come home to take a report.
The sound of the gate being pushed was clearly heard. Ami's face turned bright. Immediately snatched the instant hijab that was draped on the sofa and slid out.
"Which mother Kir?" Ami stared in wonder because only the driver was in the car.
"Mother was picked up by Aa Panji with Neng Aul. She was told to go home, Neng."
Ami just rounded his lips to form the letter O. Hurry back inside and reach for a cell phone to contact her mother.
"Mom, where's Mom? Mang Kir just went home alone."
"Mother picked up Aul's tea. Wait at home yes later Mother comes with Aul Tea, the same Kak Panji. I'm going home soon."
"Well Mom, I was upset to see the report. What rank am I, Mom? Survive what's down?"
"Later see for yourself. I told you, ranking is a bonus. What is important is that Ami has learned the maximum. I'm not disappointed Ami's value has changed. It's a long time ago, I've reached the boutique."
The connection is over. But Ami was still pensive to hear Mother's words.
Value changed. Means I'm not ranked one more. What is the impact of having a boyfriend. Backstreet again.
Ami sighed harshly with her own prejudice. There is a feeling of guilt if the ranking slumps since having a boyfriend. Instead of continuing to restlessly wait, he climbed the stairs to his room. There are Panda that can be used as a backup while playing mobile phone.
"Yeah, low bat." Just comfortably leaned back had to get up again to charge. Be asleep hugging his pandas whose fur is soft and warm.
Baby, take my hand
I want you to be my husband
'Cause you're my Iron Man
And I love you 3000 🎶
Ami hummed while playing the hand of the Panda doll that jumba rubbed into his cheek.
Baby, take a chance
'Cause I want this to be something
Straight out of a Hollywood movie 🎶
"Panda, you've always been MU. Tenaaang, I'm going on holiday in Jakarta. And we'll steal the time to meet. Hihih." Ami twitched both cheeks of her doll with anxiety.
"Amiii."
Ami was about to fall asleep when Aul's voice called out to her from under the stairs. He immediately replied when Aul called him back.
Ami got out of bed and glazed while wearing her Instagram hijab because Mother said Kak Panji will also come here.
"Where's the report, ma'am?" Ami sat down next to Mom and opened her hands and looked impatient. Not paying attention to Aul and Panji sitting on the sofa while smiling.
"Don't be discouraged. There's still semester two for even better results." Ibu Sekar took out a report from inside his bag.
Mother's sentence can make Ami's heart melengos sad. By taking a breath and letting out slowly, he prepared mentally before opening the report he had grasped. "Bismillah..."
"Alhamdulillah..." Ami exclaimed with excitement until prancing. "My mom has been gecprank." He turned to look at Mom with pursed lips. Her mother and sister laughed.
"Here baby." She stood up and opened her hands wide. Then Ami ran into the embrace. "Congratulations, son. Its value changes but it goes up not down." He gave a loving swipe on the back of his youngest child. Last one peeked.
"Congratulations, Ate Ami." Aul also gave a warm hug. Two weeks ago I just returned from a vacation from Lombok. Use holiday vouchers as gifts from Akbar. And yesterday got a happy surprise. Two red lines.
"Yeah, I'm going to add a nephew." Ami already knew the happy news because her sister-in-law announced in the family group the results of the examination and a photo of the ultrasound from an obstetrician.
"God willing. Tomorrow we go to Teh Puput house because of its travel agent in Jakarta. Manasik used to be a day, then tuesday went umrah."
"Cock spit? It's gotta be a list first and a health check." Ami still could not believe that four more days would fly to the holy land.
"I remember not the time of motoin Ami standing on the wall." Aul looked at the nodding Ami. "The photo should be printed for umrah requirements. Ami's passport is also in my mother's. As we continued to check up on our health, Ami was also vaccinated. The tea meningitis vaccine as a condition of umrah. Anyway all the administrative affairs of Ami and Ibu have been settled. Because Puput tea is sure Ami will rank one more."
Ami's mouth gaping because of speechless. Didn't expect his two brothers to plan so neatly into a surprise.
"And next surprise, Padma will also be together with Father and Mother. As a prize champion one hafiz last month. So tomorrow go to Jakartanya with ya." Said Panji who had been a spectator of Ami's excitement.
"Assyik with Munaroh too. Go to the room first ah want to call Padma." Ami is getting excited. He left the living room at a quick pace. Go into his room and unplug the newly loaded phone 80%.
"Padma, don't you know we're going to be together yet?" Ami to the point asked.
"Or dong. If Ami just knew it now, huh? Ihihihi kacian kachian. If Padma had known from two weeks ago. Padma is the champion first." Padma again giggled.
"God, Munaroh. You can't tell. We're bestie."
"And said Kak Panji must keep a secret, Marimar. Hihih."
The chat was not long over because Padma wanted to go with Mother Ratih. Ami switched to sending a photo report to Akbar that turned out to be read directly.
"I'm sure Cutie will rank one more. Congratulations, dear."
Ami closed her eyes. The word 'honey' makes the chest rustle, the heart nyes. "This is thanks to Coach Ayang's motivation as well. Hehe. Thanks, Panda."
In Jakarta, in a spacious and aesthetically pleasing workspace, Akbar stands on the edge of a window pane. Smiling silently hearing Ami's words.
"I'll always support you because I love Cutie."
"Hehe, yes I know. Oh yes Brother, I got an Umrah gift. Tomorrow to Jakarta to the house of Teh Puput, continue to be manasik first, continue to leave on Tuesday. So sorry we don't have time to meet."
"Who would not meet? If we're not together in Jakarta, we'll be together in the holy land."
"Sister, what do you mean?"
Akbar chuckled at Ami's startled tone of voice.
"I'll also be leaving for my fourth day with Mama and Papa. We'll meet in Mecca later, Cutie."
"Huh, seriously, brother? Was this sudden or planned?"
"Planned dong. Kan Mama had a meeting up with Aunt Ratih and Aunt Ratna. Keep chatting umroh plans invite children who excel are Ami and Padma during school holidays. Aunt Ratna can't because there's an agenda. Mama then confirmed to me ngajak umroh. Because there is a schedule that can not be shifted, so we leave using a different travel because it can not leave on Tuesday. Love the story."
"Oh so. My happy duh tahubi. Yes, see you in front of the Ka"bah. Hihih."

The day to Jakarta arrives. Since yesterday Ami was busy packing items to be carried. It turns out that Mom stopped by the Sundari boutique first to buy some new games for a change of clothes during Umrah. Now Anjar's father's car has come to pick him up. He sat in the back seat with Padma. Accompanied by the wave of Aul and Panji's hands, the car driven by Mang Yaya also drove.
Ami and Mom stay at Puput's house. While Padma and Mother's Father stayed at Mami Ratna's house. When the next day the implementation of manasik, return to the training location together.
The group of pilgrims umroh one travel, already at the departure terminal of Soekarno Hatta international airport. Ami asks Padma to take a picture. Of course make a report to Akbar if it is soon time to enter the plane.
[Fii Be Safe, Cutie. God willing, we meet tomorrow]
Ami smiled getting a quick reply from Akbar. Just read it because the Panda will lead an internal meeting.
Bismillah, Mecca Al Mukaromah.
Ami stared at the white plume of smoke as the plane was flying. The heart recites prayers and remembrance so that the journey of the umrah worship congregation is given smoothness and strength. There is a special prayer that will be offered later when in front of the kabah.
