Love For Madinah Girl
Episode 43

Along the way the driver became their guide, explaining the areas traversed and the history of miqat in Aisyah Mosque with limited Indonesian. The driver was an immigrant from Nigeria. It is not in vain to give a tip of 1000 riyals.

Aisyah Mosque is located in Tan'im, 7 km north of the Grand Mosque.

Once upon a time, Siti Aisyah was coming in the month to coincide with the implementation of Hajj Wada so that she could not perform Umrah. So holy, Aisha wanted to perform Umrah. The Prophet ordered Aisha's brother, Abdurrahman, to take her to Tan'im. Then the mosque was known as the Aisyah Mosque.

When the bus arrived at the courtyard of the mosque, the busyness began to be felt. Groups from various countries come and take miqat to roar.

In the courtyard of the mosque, many traders held various souvenir trinkets. There is also a wheelchair rental service for elderly pilgrims.

In the corner of the yard souvenir shops crowded with visitors who want to just wash their eyes or buy souvenirs.

A group of cheerful little kids happily playing chases and cycling merrily in the yard.

For groups that do not carry vehicles, there are buses and taxis parked on the side of the road. The drivers are competing to offer services to take passengers to the Grand Mosque. Rates vary, 8 to 10 riyals per passenger.

"Haram. Haram. Illicit."

"Indonesian. Indoneszian. Indoneszian. Please." A driver offered to an Indonesian group who left the mosque to take a bus.

The young widow who again wanted to have an Arab husband, flirting idly, "Can't you go to the Young Widow, uh, Jalan Pemuda?"

Driver smiled. That's a simple answer if they don't understand what the visitor is saying.

If there are traders mentioning Indonesian political figures or celebrities, it does not mean they are popular in Saudi Arabia. Just a mere trade tactic so that Indonesian worshipers are interested.

Nidar is hardly a souvenir shop because traders call the artist that Nidar does not like.

"I used to love his songs, dare to oppose the ruler. Now in the ruler's armpit, I don't buy."

"Mak Erot's. Mak Erot."

"Died long ago. The dong update."

"Liza Soberano's. Liza Soberano."

"Well, new oretz. Ten of them."

Merchant wrapping the bagbih. Nidar handed over the money and went to Al who was taking care of the group.

"Who is Liza Soberano?" ask Nidar. "A keroncong singer huh?"

"Liza Soberano?"

"Yes." Yeah."

"Artist Philippines."

Nidar bengong's. "Well, I guess one tribe's the same Sukarno?"

Al gave the necessary information before the group split up, "Remember the car number. Check the parking location. You have two hours in Tan'im. Who wants to shop for souvenirs or find a snack, please. After that berihram."

The time given by the travel party is actually one hour. But it's not enough. There are long queues in toilets, lockers, ablutions, and the location of emerald water.

Al wants them to conduct worship in an orderly and comfortable even though they have to spend extra money from their own pockets.

Some of the entourage directly queue for ablution, some of the streets looking for souvenirs and snacks.

They had already been told to take a sunah bath at the hotel, so no one was queuing in the bathroom like the rest of the group.

Al and Oma were sitting on the veranda waiting for the queue to the locker room to decrease.

Harbi came over and asked, "Your entourage has additional rental hours huh?"

"What can I do."

"Have you called Riany?"

"For what?"

"It's only been an hour."

"I've contacted the transport bureau. No problem he said as long as the charge."

"It's not about charge, discipline. You can't set a schedule."

"Who created this schedule?"

"It's in the contract."

"Who made the contract?"

"Riani."

"People don't know what the situation is?"

"Cok ask me?"

"Keep asking who? Na'im Hill?"

"VC Riany can, right?"

"Lowbat."

Harbi handphone. "More."

"You just."

"Where the hell?"

"I want them not to rush."

"That means your group's schedule today is rescheduled all. Not with another group."

"Bareng is not the same, right? Busy looking after each other's groups."

"Sorry, I'm in a tight spot myself."

"Shouldn't matter with Makkah?"

"Religion is problematic. There was a husband and wife fighting because of farting."

"What small problem is being exaggerated?"

"Keeplosan kali."

"I don't know."

"Well, is that a storm?"

"I think there's been a problem from home, all that's being said."

"Don't let her crush antum, deliberately looking for a cause."

"It could be you."

"In the village again - trend to find imported men."

Harbi smiled a little. "It's nice talking to you."

The Arab nobleman patted Al on the shoulder, and went to find the scattered company.

Harbi's the guy's engrossed too, Al thought, not stiff. But can he really accept? Coming to Indonesia just for a pretend role? Wasn't his closeness to Pamela just a mere compensation for being disappointed with Riany?

"Once you're upset, is it good?" oma wanted to know.

"Don't guess."

"Going two-and-a-half to Riyadh, overnight, it doesn't upset you?"

"Riany made an accident with her college friend, who happens to be Lukman's future wife."

"Tale dinar?"

"Al hasn't even met Dinar."

"Out of whom?"

"Nider."

"Nidar from Dinar?"

"Ir."

"The Queen of Dinars?"

"If from Dinar hoax huh, Oma?"

"The words of Dinar can be held."

"If Riany's words keep coming off?"

"It was Faye's."

"So Riany's friend's name is Faye?"

"Say Dinar."

"Continue?"

"The accident was very fitting yes tomorrow there is a concert ngetop band in Riyadh."

Today there is a concert of Svangeli, a metal band from the United Arab Emirates, a favorite of Riany and Lukman. Sold out tickets. Must have known from Harbi's Instagram.

"You don't suspect that this is just their wits?"

"It's just because of the concert, Faye was used as a mode?"

"Hopefully Mayu really be with her friend. No other motive."

Al doesn't care if Riany goes to a concert or a concert. He cannot control his freedom. Ta'aruf is not a prison.

Only problem is, Riany always take Irma if going with him, so as not to arise slander, sometimes Al also bring Nidar. But go with Lukman, why don't you bring an escort? What kind of freedom does he want?

If Irma doesn't like Svangeli, there are Nidar fans. But nevermind. Al did not want to think anything, just defiled his worship. He came to the Holy Land not for ta'aruf. So he put away all the noise in his heart.

"We ihram first, Oma," said Al saw the queue to the locker room had begun to quiet.

They're rising. Irma came to the scene and gave the phone to Al.

"Riany wants to talk" said Irma.

"Thank you" said Al, not caring. "I want ihram."

"important."

"Ihram is important too."

Al went to the locker room, took out the ihram from the carry bag, then took off all the clothes and put on the ihram succinctly.

After that Al followed Oma who berihram in the women's toilet.

Irma appeared again and pleaded, "Please deh, Al."

"He's ngebel again?"

"Where is your HP?"

"On the hotel table."

"Please accept it."

"Don't you see I haven't wudhu?"

"Just a minute."

"Our time at Tan'im was also lost."

Al and Oma go ablution. Then enter the mosque with the floor covered with a beautiful tapestry. They stopped near the shelves of the Qur'an. Get ready to pray.

Al whispered as his eyes glared far beyond the walls, "I fulfill Your call, O Allah. My love for You is never insulted."

Al raised two hands berkabir began to perform the two rakaat prayer.
