Love For Madinah Girl
Episode 89

They returned to their homeland that day. Riany first contacted the campus student department and told me this week that she had not been able to attend college because her husband was stricken.

Riany's tears flowed incessantly until she sat inside the Saudia plane. She could not forgive herself for forcing Al to take the car with them, but her husband insisted on taking the train. Not merely wanting to avoid the three girls, he was very comfortable riding the train because he could see the natural scenery along the way.

"Here you go, stop crying, none of this is your fault" Dinar said. "God wants to give you a test in the age of your marriage that is as long as corn. If His will has come, even if your husband on horseback goes to Yogya."

"It was only three days that I was a wife, already presenting misfortune for my husband," said Riany. "I shouldn't have asked Al to get in the car with them."

"Don't regret what God's will has done" Fatimah comforted. "The accident happened not because of your request, because of fate."

"The fate is because of me" said Riany with tears. "I can't forgive myself for asking too much."

It was only realized now that Riany was too selfish with her feelings. The fear of losing so much made him not think about how Al felt. His love has backfired for them.

The early marriage took place because of her desire to create a stronger bond of love. He feared that Al's loyalty would be tempered by the presence of angels around him, whereas men were not bound to choose more than one woman.

They are not really ready to get married. Pedaling a housewife is not enough with love. They need to prepare their hearts, souls, and minds carefully so that marriage does not have its ups and downs.

"Are you asking for anything so you think there's too much?" ask Fatimah to know. "You want a car? A home? I guess that request wasn't hard for Al to fulfill. Al already has all of that. What kind of luxury homes and cars do you want?"

"The request was unthinkable to me because matter is not a problem in my home life. Al can grant all my wishes if I ask, but I never ask."

"Then you asked for what?"

Riany's hard to explain. Fatimah and Dinar got married at an age that was enough. So they were ready to take the household ark. Their husbands are more mature, five years apart. His life is also well established. So that it does not stumble in a storm.

While Al's age is only a few days difference with him. He was too young to be the head of the household, and was not ready to be a husband. Riany was worried that if a storm hit the household, they were hard to endure. Love cannot overcome everything.

If that happens, his life is finished. No man can replace Al in his heart. He just wanted to live with her, while the days that passed were still very long.

A few hours later Riany called Nidar again. He was very sad when he got news from his best friend that Al's condition had not experienced a pleasant development. Nidar and Ridwan are allowed to wait alternately with strict health protocols.  

"So...Al's still in a coma?" cetus Riany stammered while biting her lips holding back a cry. "Doctor's word how is his hope?"

"Al's condition is not stable" Nidar said via a long-distance connection. "Anytime she can get into the shock stage." 

"So it was as bad as my husband's situation," Riany sizzled, trying to brace herself. "Find the holy verse so that he may wake up."

"Our friends in the hospital and in the pesantren have so far not slept, they teach and do miser."

"I'm not ready to lose my husband" said Riany, half sobbing. "I'm too young to live alone."

"Give your heart, Ri. We're not all ready to lose Al. We can only pray that Al can go through a critical period."

"What is Mother's condition?" ask Riany. The mother-in-law was very dear to her eldest son and had a soul not as strong as the rest of the family. "Is he okay?"

"Mother was unconscious several times, she is currently in the VIP room accompanied by Umi and your eldest sister."

Riany felt the plane was very slow to get to the homeland, even though through the monitor in front of him, the speed of the plane was never less than 920 km/h. She sat uneasily with an unceasing heart praying for her husband's safety.

Passengers take advantage of travel time to rest. They are the TKI and Umrah pilgrims who want to go home. The student is the only one. He was the only person still awake on this plane. The flight attendants are not passing by. They give passengers a chance to rest.

Riany was actually very tired. He traveled back and forth between Jakarta-Madinah without a blink of an eye closed. She did not have time to rest in the apartment, went to spend time in Raudhah, then came her two brothers brought bad news.

Fatimah and Dinar were fast asleep due to the fatigue of traveling nonstop. They only stopped at the apartment one hour, then left again on a plane back home. It is a very energy-draining journey, even if the work is just sitting.

In the country, it is certainly already near dawn. Nidar and his friends did not sleep. They're gathered at the hospital. While the family rested in the hospital's VIP rooms, some stayed in hotels.

Nidar and his friends have not been able to calm down because Al's condition is unstable. At any moment they could lose their friend. Al and Aisyah were the worst victims of her condition. While Lin Wei and Wulandari had already started to improve, they had already moved into the treatment room.

Riany became even more devastated to find this statement. Aisyah was the woman he was most jealous of. But he didn't want the girl to be gone forever. How tormented Al will be. Aisha was the closest friend to her husband.

At the time of the disaster, Aisyah sat in front with Al so that she experienced a serious condition. But accidents are sometimes not determined by sitting position, depending on who destiny approaches.

Passengers woke up to the announcement of passing loudspeakers to wear seat belts because the plane was about to land.

The aircraft began lowering altitude and adjusting speed, then swooping down to land. The building around the runway began to look, and without feeling the wheels of the plane touched the runway, along with the rising sun.

The longer the plane slows down, then turns into a taxi way to the apron to lower passengers. Garbarata came and approached the door of the plane that stopped.

Riany came out first followed by Fatimah and Dinar.

"Pelan-belan dong, Ri," reprimanded Dinar who keteteran follow Riany's steps because of two bodies. "You want your nephew to be born prematurely?"

"We have to hurry to the hospital, sister," said Riany impatiently.

"I know," replied Dinar. "But at the arrival terminal still we have to wait for the travel bag."

"You should go home" said Fatimah. "Let me take Riri to the hospital."

"I also want to know the state of my sister-in-law."

Riany booked a taxi online while walking towards the immigration gate. The inspection went on quite quickly, they waited for a travel bag for a while, then left the airport by taxi.
