Love The Bule
Back home

"Ummi ..”

The middle-aged woman who uses a brown robe complete with the same colored headscarf immediately turned her head.

“Masya Allah, Shabira. Agustina Shabira.”

The middle-aged woman's eyes also sparkled. He spread out his hands to receive the body of the princess who had long left home.

Agustina Shabira, who is usually called Tina in her office, from childhood she was called Bira or Shabira.

“Ummi.”

Tina ran over to the mother and immediately calmed down.

“Wake up, Son!” Hasna, a gentle wife and mother who never uttered a harsh word to her son, tried to shrug Tina off.

“No, Ummi. Bira wanted to bow at Ummi's feet. Bira has been much wrong with Ummi. Bira runs away from home and makes Ummi always scolded Abi.”

Tina continued to squirm and kissed the mother's instep

Hasna also squatted. He held his daughter's shoulder. The shoulder that used to be so sturdy and sure can make its own decisions. But now, it feels fragile.

“Ummi sure you'll be home. Ummi was convinced that one day the prayer of Ummi was granted by Allah. And today is the answer.”

Hasna looked happy. True happy hue – really emanated on that face.his smile expands when he saw the princess who left for more than two years was back.

Although, Tina also kept in touch with the mother and kept calling during the holiday, but still her presence was needed at that time. And, Tina could not reveal the trunk of her nose because of course if she came home, she would be chopped by the father who is the leader of this boarding school.

Tina's tears are pouring. “Ummi, forgive Shabira.”

Hasna's two hands guided the shoulder to her feet. Isakan the princess sounded heartbreaking, making Hasna was not able to not cry.

The two women who were in the kitchen also hugged tightly accompanied by a sobbing. Tina arrived at this house when fifteen minutes of Adhan isya will be staying. Hasna was in the kitchen and was about to enter the bathroom for ablution. However, he was surprised by the arrival of the princess from the back door.

“Allohu akbar, Allahu Akbar.”

The atmosphere of the haru was getting worse, when the embrace of the mother who was in the body of her daughter was greeted by the sound of the Adhan. Tina's tears are flowing more and more. The arrogance of his youth at that time led him down the wrong path. He is consumed by the pleasures of the world offered through his own decisions.

Tina, whose full name is Agustina Shabira, is the youngest of three children. Tina was born into a religious family. The father owns a boarding house. The cottage built by Tina's grandfather and now his father who continued the leadership, assisted by Tina's first brother.

Tina has two sisters. The first male – is thirty-two years old, has a wife and two children, while the second sister Tina is twenty-eight years old and is female. Tina's older sister got married three years ago, exactly one year before Tina ran away and she had no children.

Tina's two sisters married through an arranged marriage. When his two brothers had finished their education and were ready to get married, the father immediately found a candidate for them. Same with Tina. When he graduated from college, his father immediately found a future husband for him. That made Tina unable to accept the decision to leave the house.

Tina felt that her life had always been arranged by her father. She sees how her father manages her two brothers' lives and Tina doesn't want to be like her two sisters. He wants to find his own love and escape from a house full of rules. Tina had not realized that what her father was doing was for her own good. And now, he just realized, it turns out the world outside is so cruel. His decision to leave the house and not in the supervision of the family made his life uncertain direction.

While the Adhan was still reverberating, Tina's mind drifted to remember all the sins she committed. The tears keep flowing. This is where it comes home. No parent plunges his – children into the abyss. Although hard and like always arranged, but it turns out life does need a rule. Life does need a sign – signs to be balanced and Tina has broken through the rule until now her life also looks irregular.

“Excuse Bira, Ummi.” Tina spoke again when Adzan finished reverberating.

Hasna looked into those regretful eyes with sadness. “Ummi forgive you, Darling.”

The two soft hands wiped away the tears flowing down Tina's cheeks. There is nothing more soothing than the embrace of the mother, especially in the midst of her heart that is upset.

“Bira regrets having defied Abi. Is Abi still willing to accept Tina again in this house?” tina asked sadly to the mother as the embrace began to break.

“Your servant does look fierce, but his heart is soft, son. He's like that because he loves you, love Mas Abid and Mba Arafah.”

Hasna took a rough breath while smiling. “Abi did that just want to see her son – stay on the line that she believes is right. Ummi and Abi just want the best for you, although maybe the way we rated wrong.”

Tina nodded, only to realize that all the rules and decisiveness were true. Everything was indeed the best for her, it was just that the young soul that was still shrouded in nafs*, making Tina another mind. When the father was firm and hard, Tina actually thought that he was not the father's biological child.

Hasna still smears a smile. “Therefore you came through the back door?”

Tina nodded. “Fear of being chopped Abi.”

Hasna laughed too. “There is a father who can chop his son. It was only Abi's talk when he was angry.”

“Ya already, Come on, go inside!” Hasna invited her daughter into the room. He also helped carry Tina's small bag.

“You must be tired, the trip from Jakarta to here is quite far.”

Tina nodded.

“Your room is still as it used to be.” Hasna opened the door to the princess's room she had been in since childhood. “Ummi does not change this room. all the locations are still the same as before you left. Ummi just cleaned it up.”

Tina circulated the view to the corner of the room. The room that bears witness to her being happy and sad. Or when the contents of his head start to rebel and want to be yourself. Then, Tina stared at the poster of her favorite band. Because of this poster, the mother must be exposed to the wrath of the father.

“This poster has not been torn Abi, Mi?” tina asked smilingly as she pointed at the poster attached to the wall in her room.

Hasna shakes. “But.”

“When you left, Abi came into this room. Ummi thought, Abi would tear this poster off, but he didn't. He just sat and looked at your room.”

Tina's eyes were back. Since High School, he is very fond of Korean band groups who are all male members – male. Every time Tina bought – items that she idolized, the father threw them away or burned them. All that remains is the poster.

“Yes already, rest first. Ummi wants wudhu and make you drink.” Hasna rubbed her daughter's head gently before leaving.

“Ummi,” call Tina to the mother who is already standing at the door of the open room.

Hasna also looked.

“Bira darling Ummi.”

Hasna smiled too. “Ummi also love you.”

Finally, he returned home. The house that he had left for two years and had not visited at all.

Tina rubbed her bed. The bed sheet looked clean and smooth. Looks like the mother still replaces this cloth even though it has never been touched by the owner.

“Assalamaicum. Ummi.”

Deg

The sound made Tina's heart seem to stop for a moment. The voice he feared the most had now returned home from the mosque. After Abid and Arafah got married, Tina's two older sisters no longer lived in this house. They live somewhere far enough away. Abis, who previously lived next to his parents' house, is now in Egypt to continue Lc, he also brought his wife's child a few months ago. Arafah lives in Surabaya.

“Ummi, why is Bira's room open?”

Tina heard those footsteps that were getting closer. He sat on the edge of his bed waiting for the sound to come closer.

“Shabira.”

“Abi.”

Ustman stood in the open doorway of the room. He did not expect after the congregation to perform Islamic prayers with his santri, found the princess sitting in this room.

The anger that had once been up to, now turned into a longing.

“Abi.”

Tina ran up to her father and hugged him. He no longer cared whether the father accepted or would refuse the embrace, but one thing is certain he would make up for all these mistakes by being the person the father wanted, because only family is the place to go home. Parents are the only – people who accept their vices sincerely. Parents are the only – people who can always forgive even as much as he does.
