My Love Is Just For You
The Unexpected Plan
"Hello Ermi..."
"Halo Hind my most beautiful cousin herself..," Ermi's naughtiness sounded sarcastic.
"Oh come on, you know I don't like to hear those words the most,” complains Hind. "How's Bombay doing? Healthy and safe, right?"
"Damn your language," This time it was Ermi's turn to feel subtly insinuated from his cousin's speech. You could say they are both family and friendly enemy, get along in their own way, reciprocating sarcastic language to show affection for each other.
"Tumben called? Is there anything important?"
"Yes, look Hind,” Ermi started to explain his intentions to Hind. "I've been moving to Dubai for two months following my husband's job who had to help his uncle's business there. Well, since early November my husband has to deal with his work visa extension in Dubai, while I'm alone here. How about you come here at the same time my husband takes care of his visa to India? Just a week, I will accompany you to explore Dubai City deh.., you will feel the atmosphere of the modern Middle East here! Anyway it's exciting and you won't regret coming here!"
Early November? Is this a coincidence or what? How did he feel like everything was directing me to go there to surprise M on his birthday? For a moment Hind pondered to find the red thread.
"Umm.., well, it just so happens that this year I haven't gone anywhere," Hind went into his room to pick up his passport and credit card. He opened the website page of a special airline landing at Dubai International Airport from his laptop to then enter the data needed to buy Jakarta-Dubai plane tickets and vice versa. Not to forget he did visa registration online during his later stay in Dubai. Apparently the airline provides visa registration flexibility without having to go to the UAE Embassy. Things that he thinks are quite troublesome considering the busy daily activities in the hospital. He imagined the Head of the International Hospital would feel dizzy tomorrow morning when he handed out a leave of absence for a week for the next month. Actually, he did not feel much needed hospital, but his dedication to medicine and his volunteer activities has raised the name of the hospital where he works to become one of the best hospitals in Indonesia without frills belonging to the state oil company. How dizzy he if left by himself because inevitably has to replace his position to serve his patients who incidentally most compared to other doctors. But he also has his own world to take care of. I'm sorry Mr. Chief...
And here it is now, in a plane that will soon take him to Dubai City, a city full of wonders according to what he read. He grimaced in his heart, how would he feel if he met M in person? Just imagine her chest pounding anxiously and her stomach feels heartburn. He could only pray that he would be okay there.
I'm leaving for Dubai now. I hope we can meet there...
After sending a direct message to Mohammed, the Hind plane flew to leave the runway of Soekarno-Hatta International Airport to Dubai. This is one of the most crazy ideas he has ever done in his life. Approaching your own lover for the first time in the land of people. His whole life in a relationship with men, only this time he did the tenth thing like now even though it was camouflaged as a vacation. His parents were surprised by his intentions. But because there is Ermi on his side, they were relieved and also prayed that what would be his good intentions be granted by the Almighty.
Hind's gaze glared out the window. Slowly the tall buildings he saw began to shrink and disappear leaving white cloud grains that accompanied as if enveloping the sturdy fuselage.
BRUSSHHHH!
The coffee liquid that Mohammed drank gushed out of his mouth as he read a message from Hind.
"I'm sorry Uncle Juma" Mohammed stood up from his seat in panic, feeling guilty for his lack of manners and calling one of his bodyguards. "Saeed, I'm asking you to help Uncle Juma change his chandelier! There's something I need to do right away!" Mohammed immediately ran out of the cafe and started dialing the phone number he had to call immediately.
"Hello, Salim!" Mohammed's tone of voice sounded somewhat elevated in panic. How not, as he remembered Hind never once told him to go abroad alone as it is today. He was always with his other girlfriends. Although Dubai is a well-populated and open-minded city, he is sure to have a lot of male eyes glancing at the girl because of the unique beauty she has. And he doesn't like that.
"Yes Sheikh,"
"There's someone you need to keep an eye on and you're protecting from afar. Her name is Hind Karenina, the girl is on her way from Jakarta to Dubai at around 17:55 Indonesian time at this time, make sure she uses what airline and gets off in which airport," Mohammed glanced at the watch that was coiled around his left arm. "Estimulate her arrival at midnight and keep an eye on the girl until she is temporarily staying in Dubai. I'll send you the picture and if you've made sure he's safe until the place he's headed, don't forget to report the results to me!"
"Good Sheikh,"
Mohammed cut off communication with one of his bodyguards. His feelings are explosive, happy and worried mixed into one. He was confused about what to express later when he met his girlfriend. He did not expect his ngawur speech to get a birthday gift in the form of his lover gave a surprise by coming to Dubai to meet him will be granted by the Almighty. Oh no, his face was flushed hot and a wide smile was engraved on his thin lips that were strangely unwilling to stop being scratched.
"You really are brash nephew M! You can prank me like that!" Juma approached Mohammed and hit his nephew on the shoulder. Of course after changing clothes with a new candle. It has become a habit of men there to always store stock kandura more than one considering the white color and dirty quickly. But the clothes are the clothes of the pride of their nation.
"Uncle, Uncle," Mohammed turned around and hugged Juma tightly and ignored Juma's complaints. "I'm happy Uncle, I'm happy!"
Why else with this kid? Inner Juma. Always give unexpected surprises with changes in facial expressions that become more predictable than before. Is it because he is in love? He became curious to meet directly with the girl who had made his nephew blind to love. As great as the girl to penetrate the niche of the heart of a Mohammed who incidentally never fell in love even before the engagement was dissolved because his nephew did not also give his heart to his former fiancee. Fortunately, he has a more open-minded Dad and Mom like his older brother Rashid and his sister-in-law, Ayudisa. If his parents like his parents are hard and conservative hold firmly that the Emir of Dubai family must marry fellow Arab noble blood who is still one family, it probably won't be this easy as Mohammed gets his way now. Given the struggle Rashid and Ayudisa to unite alone has made his heart tight and sore until his parents get a reprimand from the Almighty because it is almost separate the two people who have been outlined by Him to unite by marrying Rashid to one of his cousins so that the entire Gulf Arab, especially Dubai, has problems both internally and externally in the form of conflict with other countries. Fortunately his parents are aware of his mistakes and can fix them so that the two men can unite in a legitimate marriage. Look at Dubai which is now, much more advanced, crowded, modern, modern, and diverse and open with positive things to different nations and can get along with neighboring countries despite different understandings of state and religion.
"My girl will come here Uncle!" Mohammed is pleased.
"Oh yeah?" Juma could not believe his hearing. Is that girl coming to Dubai? Just incredible! Though the speech was just Mohammed blurted out today and soon the man got the good news. His family was blessed by the Creator...
Seeing Mohammed was like seeing a young Rashid. He prayed that the girl who had made him fall in love was like Ashiya, his mother who could and was strong to pass through the strict culture and regulations in her country. I hope...
