Pledge of Love Rumi
abi Irsyad's

the night came back...

Ustadz Irsyad sat in front of his two children, in fact it was very hard to say this. But after a long time of thinking and holding everything? Now it is time for Ustadz Irsyad to talk about his intention to leave the city of Jakarta and move to the village. His birthplace is Magelang.

"Three more months, Abi is no longer teaching. And choose to retire early as a lecturer," he said, to reduce the big question mark on his two children.

"Pension elf? Why Bi?" Ask Rumi.

"Yes... Abi wants to take care of the cottage in Magelang, because Bude Adiba has difficulty going back and forth Solo-Magelang. On the far side, it is actually Abi's duty as the only son of the late abbah KH. Muktars."

Rumi the mangosteen, he understood. What Abinya said there is a point, and maybe even Ustadz Irsyad does need a new atmosphere in his life, especially in this house there is no Umma Rahma.

"Can't you think about it, Bi?" Noah asked, feeling sad. Where Rumi immediately embraces her, rubbing the shoulder of the sister, who understands that her sister will definitely feel objected if until Abi Irsyad really moved.

Because for Noah, if Abi Irsyad moved to Magelang maybe he would be more difficult to meet.

Even if you have to come to him, it can be up to once a few months or even once a year. Like he used to be with his family when he wanted to visit his grandfather and grandmother's residence in the village of his father.

"Abi had already thought about this, it had even been almost a year. And today, Abi has decided to stop being a lecturer and then move to Abi's hometown."

"Abi?" Noah was no longer able to move, choosing to move his sitting position next to Ustadz Irsyad. "Nuha did not want to be far from Abi."

Ustadz Irsyad hugged the princess, then kissed her head. "Abi must hijrah, Dek. Dede here already has A' Faqih."

"Stay, Abi was Noah's first love. Nuha's Beloved. Abi know? The sorrow of Noah when he lost Umma? Until now, to be honest, Noah actually could not really feel happy. Nuha's heart still felt emptiness, especially if it came to this house? " Nuha slightly sobbed, hugged the fat body of Abinya because it was true, every time he came it felt empty because there was no warm welcome Umma who usually was waiting in front of the house.

Hearing the child's words, Ustadz Irsyad just kept quiet, he could only rub the back of Noah gently, trying to calm down.

"Dede weight, Bi... Hiks, why is it like this? Did Noah pay less attention to Abi? Does Noah have to come back to this house, so Abi can stay here?"

"Istighfar, Deck. Dede there's already A' Faqih. Can't have any thoughts of getting back here."

"But Dede wants to take Abi... Abi know? In Noah's heart there was still a wedge. Because as long as Umma was sick to death, Noah was very rarely by his side. And if Abi were far away, it would be even harder for Noah to see Abi."

"Oh God..." Ustadz Irsyad again kissed the head of Noah, where the heart of Ustadz Irsyad again waver between staying here or steadfast with his decision to move. He looked towards Rumi. "Self how?" Ask her.

He sighed, holding his chest. He also did not want Abinya to move to Central Java.

"Rumi couldn't resist everything that was Abi's decision."

"Hiks, Rumi why do you agree?" Noah sobbed, when he heard Rumi's reply.

"You know how else Deck, we still have to respect Abi's decision not to force. Kasian Abi too, he needs a new atmosphere."

"But Noah did not want to, Abi to Magelang!!! Rumi sister can talk like that because Rumi sister can take care of Umma and also Abi, while I? My time to be with Abi and Umma was a bit!"

"Dad?" Rumi tried to temper her brother's anger.

"Abi stays here...! Abi can really stay in the house of Noah if it needs a new atmosphere, no need to go to Magelang. Later Noah permission same A' Faqih must be allowed."

"Daddy, the problem isn't that."

"What else is it? Please understand how Noah feels, brother! Noah was not far from Abi...!"

"Srst.... Sssttt... Calm your hearts, yes. Istighfar– Do not let something like this become something that even causes problems." Trying to calm the situation not wearing this. He wiped away Noah's tears gently. "Dede love Abi, don't you?"

"Without Abi asking, Noah certainly loved Abi." Whimpering.

Both of Noah's eyes blinked, the more tears flowed. He saw a puddle of water in both of his eyes. Noah wiped the tears of Ustadz Irsyad.

"So you have a mind to follow people, what do they say? If you want to treat a limp liver because of loss, then you have to find the new half of the heart. But it's not that easy, even though there is another woman who is Abi's choice, but it's difficult. Finally Abi prefers hijrah, Abi really wants to take care of the boarding school in the village, just because Abi wants to forget the world. Abi wanted to be faithful until death to pick up Abi, because one angel was enough, that is Umma Rahma."

"Hiks... Abi, forgive Nuha." Back Noah hugged the body of Ustadz Irsyad. He smiled and stretched out one hand to Rumi who was wiping her tears, asking the boy to sit next to her. Rumi moved, and moved to the left side of Irsyad's ustadz, both hugging Abi and Noah.

"Honestly, Abi was heavy when deciding this. But how else. It is time for Abi to deepen Abi's religious knowledge. And run the mandate Mbah Kakung."

"But can Noah ask for one condition?"

"What, Deck?" Tanya Ustadz Irsyad's.

"Abi, you should come here often. If Noah hadn't gone to Magelang."

"inshaAllah's. Try to– do not be sad. And again for this house, Abi has the intention to sell it."

"Sold on?" Noah and Rumi asked almost simultaneously. They let go of his embrace staring at their Abi.

"Kok– on sale?" Ask Noah.

"Yes, because? Rumi is working in Bandung. Debby content has also grown. If you have to be alone at home. If back and forth Bandung was risky too. So better, Abi bought a house for Rumi and Debby in Bandung."

"Bi does not have to be sold either. What if Noah misses this house?" Noah asked in a loud voice.

"Nuha's right, Bi. No need to sell. This house can be for where we gather. When Abi returned to Jakarta." Rumi.

"But, isn't it better to sell?"

"No Rumi does not agree if this house is sold. This house is full of childhood memories of me and Noah. Full of memories of Abi and Umma as well."

"Yes, Bi. Please for this house. Stay there, huh Bi?"

Ustadz Irsyad smiled and nodded. He kissed Rumi's head and then Noah's.

"Stay healthy, and be a good parent to your children."

"Yes Abi–" replied Rumi and Nuha together, with Isak crying Nuha who could not be stopped.

# POV RUMI

if only I could have been given a chance to return.

Past times

it's the chosen thing I most want to meet, when I'm still scared when I come home too late, even the sabetan rattan Abi is not so sick than the presence of adulthood that constricts time to be with family. The screams of Umma that always make me feel uncomfortable at times, are the alarms of love that I can no longer hear right now.

Everyone, they must be prepared. When time brings to divine power the form of separation. We will not be able to reject the nets of the time span that continues to roll, meet with joy and sorrow, crying and also laughter, everything flows until we meet at the end of our lives as a resident on this earth.

Seriate....
