Tonight Oma is different. Wearing the latest model Arab abaya with unique embroidery details. So it looks graceful and younger.
"Oma was a '60s model" praised Al. "When to buy? How does Al not know?"
They walked through King Aziz's door leading to the ground floor of the sa'i. Tonight Oma wants tahajud between Shafa and Marwah.
"Gift from Riany, buy it in Riyadh."
Al speechless. Satin crystal clothing is very expensive and does not exist in retail. Did Riany go to a boutique, or did she stay at a hotel that held a fashion show?
"That's a sign your future wife is paying attention. Let any bus, any dime, take the time to buy clothes for Oma."
"So Al's not paying attention?"
"My granddaughter, what's your baby?"
Al took out a tiny box from his gaming pocket, and showed the golden watch a gift from Aisyah.
"It's so pretty" Oma commented in amazement. He took the watch out of the box and put it on. "Pass. Must be expensive?"
"Simply the same abaya."
"Thank you, great."
"From Aisha."
Aisyah knows Al doesn't like watches. Only wear it occasionally. But Al thinks someone led Aisyah to buy the watch.
"Thank you Oma to Aisyah."
"So not only is Riany the same concern Oma."
"What's up, good light? You don't like Oma praising him."
"Al meant not only was Riany the one who was considerate, but everyone was attentive to Oma."
"Keep your reward what?"
"Later Oma knew."
"To be curious about Oma?"
They arrived at the ground floor of sa'i. Silent atmosphere. Oma walked up to the large pillar near the zam zam sink, and took out the prayer device from the small bag.
Al diam. The pillar was where Opa longed for his Lord, wept over all sins and thanked all favors. On his birthday, Oma was so cheerful to be on that pillar. Is it not because the gift given by Riany and Aisyah is exactly the same as the gift given by Opa?
No tears melted down Al's face and dripped down onto the cold floor while prostrating. He tahajud near a pillar believed to be where Hindun bint Utbah resigned himself because of the Prophet's morality and declared his Islam, after a long time of harming the Prophet.
The pillar was a little far from Oma. Al did not want to interfere with the khusu'an Oma longed for his treachery.
Finished praying, Al got up and found Riany sitting behind with tears in her eyes, just finished praying. May the girl adorn the tahajud with a silent prayer so that Al does not hear her.
"I swear to my Lord" said Riany. "For the man who prostrated himself before me, there was not the slightest taste of it to Lukman, there was no reproach at the time of my departure."
"I am not Muhammad that Gabriel told me of the truth of his wife's oath."
"Because I'm not Aisha."
"Then?"
"I was panicking because my best friend was in trouble, so I was stupid. I should have waited for you to come home from Haram."
"There's no obligation to ask permission from me."
"You're my future husband."
"That means she's not a wife yet. No obedience for you."
"But I need to apologize for abandoning responsibility. I've troubled you."
"How's Faye doing now?"
"Still in a coma at Green Crecent Hospital."
"And you left?"
"Waiting for Lukman."
"His family?"
"On the way from New York."
"Why did you come home when Lukman needed your spirit?"
"Because I feel guilty about you. There's nothing more important in my heart than that feeling."
"And only after being in Riyadh?"
"I actually want to take Irma. But who accompanied Oma to sleep?"
"You can take Nidar. He's my escort. You can ask Nek Surti to accompany Oma to sleep. Many women in this group are more Oma liked than Irma. If necessary, I accompany Oma myself."
Tears are like crystals flowing on that nameless face.
"What I'm worried about is that this is happening because it's so good that you go together with Lukman to Riyadh. Then you're disappointed to find Lukman so loyal to Faye that you finally get home fast."
"How could you say that to me."
"Where more can you go with other unaccompanied men and leave me with an entourage of many problems?" Al looked at Riany calmly but piercingly, then took a slow breath. "That's it. If you want to discuss this, good later in the village."
"What's the matter again?" riany's eyes didn't understand behind the tears. "I've told you everything. Nothing was missing from me because of the journey. You want to know the minute-by-minute story?"
"I came to the Haram to fulfill the call of my Lord, not for any other purpose" Al said as if to end the debate.
Riany tidied up the prayer equipment, put it in a small bag, then dried the tears with a tissue.
Oma came, and said, "Well. Let's find a place at Ali's door, hunt down a lot of people."
"It's been a lot, Oma."
"Then it's a sneak, not somewhere later."
Al looked at Oma half-protest. "Don't you invite Oma's granddaughter?"
"Terus Al told me to take care of the group?"
"There's Nidar" replied Riany. "It's waiting at Ali's door."
Oma looked over with surprise. "Can't the door be the same?"
"Today is Oma's day. Morning we party gudeg manggar sambel krecek."
"This morning I have prepared a gift for Oma" said Al coldly.
Oma looked on enthusiastically. "What's that?"
"Look at the 63rd floor of room 63."
Riany and Oma were stunned.
"You're asking Oma to move?" riany looked half in disbelief.
"I want to spend the rest of my days in Makkah with Oma."
"Kok being gini anyway, Al?"
"So how?"
"Oh-yourself way."
"I didn't know there was a party."
"You're hard to contact."
"You can tell Irma."
"It."
"Non nyampe."
"Get to Oma, that's great."
"Kok Oma didn't tell you?"
"It's Oma's birthday."
"Irma didn't say anything to you?" ask Al.
Riany asked, "What's the matter?"
"Anything."
"What is that what?"
"Yes already" Al shrugged his shoulders slightly. So Irma didn't tell you about Aisha? Mercifully. "The party moved to the 63rd floor."
Riany looks curious. "It's not about the party, is it?"
"What else?" turn Al relaxed.
Oma smiled. "It's okay, cah ayu. This is the most beautiful gift from my granddaughter."
"But, Oma...."
"A long way off if kangen is just as good?"
"If you go to college even further, Oma. Go to Yogya."
"Let's be nice to Medina."
"Definitely forgot to have a candidate in Medina."
"Well, it could be."
"Oma doesn't know what her girlfriends are?"
"What is it like?"
"Later Riri tell me."
When disbelief begins to sprout, then every thing done must cause prejudice.
Al booked room 63 on the 63rd floor because every time Oma birthday Opa always presents a room on the floor whose number is the same as the age of Oma.
They do not celebrate the wedding day. The reason is not to remember how long togetherness was created. They just want to remember how many favors are created from that togetherness. Because in pleasure, of course, there is togetherness, but in togetherness there is not necessarily pleasure.
But Riany assumes that Al took advantage of the moment to punish him. Not meeting him every time.
Al did not know that in Riyadh Riany was so shaken. Not only because he found his friend dying, when it dawned on him how much he loved the young man, so that a passionate longing arose and finally dragged his heart to go home.
Riany was so happy to see Al's face, and never fantasized about it. He just missed the young man for real.
Oma herself is suspicious of the special gifts she receives even though at the bottom of her heart actually likes to occupy the very luxurious suite room. There are some gifts in bed, gifts that are usually given Opa.
"Oma know you're hurt," the woman's smile tasted while sitting on a soft mattress. "You want to punish Riany with all your worries, like Muhammadku's guide who shunned Aisha when she was slandered."
"Is it likely that Oma is less than happy to receive this gift?"
"Oma's very happy."
"This gift is without mode, Oma."
"Thank God."
It seemed that Oma did not believe his words. But Al doesn't care. It is free to convince the unbeliever.
Oma's birthday celebration is festive. There is a candle blow event and cut the cake. Pamela and the group entered the room to surprise.
One by one the group members congratulated while handing over gifts. Oma shed tears, moved.
Al closed with a prayer as an expression of gratitude and did not forget to pray Faye to be immediately lifted from the disaster.
Then they party gudeg manggar and sambel krecek. There are also cow pebbles and jengkol balado.
