BDJ 27: MUTUAL GUARDING THROUGH DO’A
“Fall hearts can never choose. God chose. We are just victims. Disappointment is a consequence, happiness is a bonus.”—Fiersa Besari
✈️✈️
A small ring was heard from the lips of a handsome man who was not wearing a top. Letting her upper body be a jar, because she had just compressed the part of her stomach that was hit by a stranger's blow. Some time after the incident, he immediately contacted the hotel to ask for room service. He asked for ice cubes to compress the bruises he had sustained. Until now he did not know very well the identity of the stranger who had attacked him. In fact, he never had a mistake that caused hatred.
The attention of the handsome man was distracted when he heard the sound of the door being knocked. Nathan's forehead wraps when he hears the knock. Who's coming to see you all night? He also did not ask for room service anymore. Is Nathania? Was it unclear what he said a while ago?
Before moving on to open the door, Nathan first picked up a piece of plain white T-shirt for him to wear. He did not want anyone to see his body, except his family and future wife.
“What's more—“ Nathan's question was cut off just like that when his eyes found another figure. Instead of the figure of a woman who desperately he was far away. “I didn't order room service.”
The young man wearing a hotel staff uniform, complete with an ID Card, appeared to be smiling lightly while handing out his luggage.
“This is a special service from the hotel. A sign of apology for what happened to you. The hotel promised to fix the security system and will soon find the perpetrator of the attack.”
Next to Nathan's eyebrows raised heard him. How could an ordinary staff possibly know of the incident that had happened to him? Does this staff have access to watch surveillance footage or CCTV?
Why not the hotel manager who apologized in person?
“He did this on my orders.”
Nathan turned his head to the side when he heard another voice heard in his sense of hearing. “Who are you?”
“I'm the manager of this hotel,” replied the middle-aged man who looks still very young and fit. His body was tall, a range of 182 centimeters. Wrapped in formal attire, black suit, white shirt, black tie, and matching colored cloth pants. “We will immediately find the perpetrator of the attack against you. You don't have to worry. I also hope you do not refuse the special service we provide as an apology. ”
“Hm.”
Nathan is not sure. He has been more vigilant since the attack. ID cards can be faked. What if they're still a plot with a stranger? Nathan doesn't know for sure.
“You do not need to worry, I am indeed the manager at this hotel,” said the middle-aged man earlier while offering a business card. Nathan received the business card without a sound.
“If you have anything you want to ask, please contact the number.” The hotel manager turned his head, gesturing to his hotel staff to give him what he was carrying. “It is an ointment to relieve bruises. I hope you don't reject it. Here I just run the command.”
Nathan eventually received the ointment because he was unwilling to prolong the problem. He also did not want to trouble his other colleagues, if they were to find out the attack incident that had occurred. So, after receiving a hotel service that he said ‘kus’ it, Nathan immediately went back into the room.
Nathan isn't prejudiced or anything, but he's just trying to be vigilant. After making sure the ointment he received was safe to use, Nathan applied the ointment to the bruised area. At least the ointment can reduce a little pain that arises. When he had just stored the ointment he had just used, his phone ringtone suddenly sounded. Simultaneously with the flat object screen, displaying a name that he gave the 🖤 icon white.
With a smile on his lips, the beautiful man rushed to receive the call.
“As’salamualaikum, Brother Nathan?”
Ah, the voice that calms the soul and body is finally heard again greeting the eardrum.
“Waalikum’salam,” replied Nathan in the end. It was a miracle to find the idol calling first.
“Sister Nathan how are you?”
“Good news. How are you doing far away there?”
“Kabar Alea alhamdulillah good.”
Silent for some time. “What's up? Does anyone bother you?”
“Kak...”.
“Naeam (yes)?”
“Sister is fine there, ‘kan?’
Nathan who just moved position—from sitting on the edge of the bed, to being standing near the balcony glass barrier—looked to link a frown to hear it. From where he stood, he could see the beauty of the capital of the White Elephant Country from a height. “Alhamdulillah, I'm good.”
“….”
“Why, has anyone disturbed your mind?” nathan asked to make sure. He was deliberately dishonest about the attack, for fear of making the fiancee worried.
“Alea...”
“Free why hm?” tease Nathan with a smile on his lips.
“...risau.”
“Risau why? God is always with His people, you need not worry. Besides I can take good care of myself here.”
“Iya, Alea knows. But, did you forget that Angel Izrail always diligently visits humans 70 times a day or once every 21 minutes?”
Nathan the mangosteen heard his fiance's words. There is a warm feeling that whacks the chest cavity. “So you're worried about my condition here? Do I need to send you some photos to convince you?”
“T-no need! Alea believes in healthy sister wal’afiat.”
Nathan silently smiled wider and wider at the tone of the voice of the lover. That woman must have been wrong. “You sure?”
“Iya. Brother himself who just convinced Alea that sister is okay.”
“No need to bother. Alea was already sure big brother was fine.”
“Good.” Nathan is increasingly made happy when trying to guess the look on the face of his interlocutor across there. He misses very much, wants to meet to let go of the longing.
“Then Alea hang up first her phone.”
“Why suddenly?”
“Because it must have been night. It's time for sister to rest. Alea did not want to disturb brother's precious rest time. Alea also wants to continue working.”
Nathan for a moment forgot that they were on a different continent. The difference also applies to the duration of time where they are. If the lover is busy working in the morning, then here Nathan is getting ready to rest himself. For some time, different distances and times like this would stretch between them.
“Then just turn off the phone from there. Happy working. May you always be in the protection of Allah.”
“Amin ya Rabbal alamin,” Alea replied.
“One more,” Nathan said suddenly.
“What's up, brother?”
“Please keep your distance with CEO Anderson Cooperation. Can you?”
“CEO Anderson Cooperation? Butwhy? Alea still has an agenda with him.”
“I don't like it if you're close to him. She also does not appreciate you as a Muslim woman. If you want to meet him to discuss work affairs, can be accompanied by someone, right?”
“Iya, sis. There's Alea's assistant too.”
Nathan breathed a sigh of relief. He does not like if the lover is close to the CEO of Anderson Cooperation, especially since the incident on the Coney Islands coast. The incident in which the man touched his lover presumptuously. After all, the first sigh with the Caucasian-looking man had also left a bad impression in Nathan's memory.
“Sorry if I'm possessive. That's what I do because I don't want you to be close to ajnabi men who aren't your mahram.” Nathan looked down at the beautiful sight before him.
“Iya, Alea knows. Thank you for worrying about Alea.”
“Hm.”
“Then Alea hang up the phone first, huh?”
“Hm,” replied Nathan, hesitate. Between still want to hear the voice of the lover, but the phone connection must also end soon. “Sayyidina Ali Bin Abi Thalib once said, uhibuk walihadha. And that's how I am against you.”
“….”
There was no answer from the other side, and Nathan knew what had befallen the lover so that he could not answer his words.
“Then let me hang up. See you later, Alea. Have a nice day. As’salamualaikum.”
Before actually disconnecting the phone, Nathan had waited for the lover to return his greetings. It turns out the assumption is right, the lover still gives a reply from the greeting he said even though it sounds very soft. However, at least Nathan was relieved to hear the voice of the lover after he experienced a less pleasant event. Now he can definitely sleep well so that tomorrow can be excited again to welcome the day.

“Waalaikum’salam.”
The woman with a loose soft nude abaya said hello with a smile on her niqab-covered lips.
“Sayyidina Ali Bin Abi Thalib once said, ‘uhibuk walihadha ansahuk’. And that's how I am against you.”
The last sentence spoken by a man far away in the other hemisphere is still remembered in the mind. Alea—the woman with the soft nude Abaya—was gathering the courage to call first because suddenly she felt anxious because last night the man came to her dream. But not in a good dream, but a bad dream.
Alea knew that good dreams come from God, but bad dreams do not come from God. For some reason also the recesses of his heart immediately haunted by an immeasurable anxiety. So, when she saw the delivery of flowers for the umpteenth time from the same person on her desk, Alea then gathered the courage to contact first. Now Alea could feel relieved due to the fact that the man was fine.
The problem is, now Alea's heart is not okay because her heartbeat is not bad. Especially since hearing the sentence ‘uhibuk walihadha ansahuk’ spoken from the man who had menghitah himself. Alea knew the meaning of that sentence. The sentence is one of the pearl sentences of sayyidina Ali Bin Abi Talib, the husband of sayyidinah Fatimah Binti Muhammad. The couple who was married directly by Allah Subhanahu wa ta’ala in the sky, before being married on earth was famous for his love story that both loved in silence.
The meaning of the sentence quoted from the pearl phrase sayyidina Ali Bin Abi Talib that managed to make Alea lost the strength to answer.
While staring at the white hyacinth flowers that today are sent by the man—even though the sender is in the other hemisphere. White hyacinth flower itself has meaning ‘I pray you’. This flower has a unique shape and beautiful color. In addition, hyacinth flowers also have many implied meanings according to their color. This flower is also believed to be a form of apology, if you do something wrong.
“May you always be in the protection of Allah Subhanahu wa ta’ala while working out there. Alea helped guard sister through do’a. Here Alea will also take good care of herself.”
Alea smiled behind her niqab cloth, as the fragrant hyacinth flower greeted her sense of smell. “And thank you for advising Alea about her including the male ajnabi. Here Alea will take good care of herself, because Alea already has Nathan's brother as a candidate for mahram.”

Note: ‘uhibuk walihadha ansahuk’ means: ‘ I love you, therefore I advise you’.
