Pledge of Love Rumi
still mourning

The sky around the cemetery looks cloudy. As if also sad, accompany the funeral procession Rahma. Sayup-sayup heard the sound of Adhan in the burrow that was about to close it.

Rumi calls for the Adhan from the open grave, taking the mother's journey to her new place. The barzah realm.

When finished, the tomb was closed. The sobbing of Noah, halfway between Shafa and Debby, who hugged him, broke again. He had been trying hard since last night, but because the chanting of the adhan called by Rumi earlier made his heart slice again.

Regret for not taking care of the mother at the end of her life as if adding sorrow to the chest. Nuha wanted to turn the clock around, she shouldn't have to wait for A'a to come home, just take Ziya to Bekasi. If only he knew? that was his last moment.

But already, who knows? If Umma's fate would only be until last night, Noah again squeezed the hijab on his chest.

"Mom..." The whimpering shrieked, staring at the nanar towards the vortex that had been almost completely covered.

No longer the figure of the mother will make her laugh, because of the affection that is different from the figures of mothers in general. Umma Rahma not only put herself as a figure of a mother, but she can be a sister, as well as a best friend.

The point is, the mother is absolutely amazing.

Now the woman he loves the most in the world is calm in the lap of the Khalik and hopes the spirit of the mother can be received in good condition. Noah smiled, muttering in his heart, thanking him for his affection. Yep... He had promised not to cry again, according to Abi's orders even though he still could not. And only able to hold it a little, let the tears continue to scatter wet his cheeks.

Abi Irsyad who stood not far from the earth diggers was also getting stronger, no more tears came out. In addition to the sad gaze that was covered with glasses led to the tomb, until the process of closing the burrow was completed.

Before long, Rumi, who was wearing a black Koko that was slightly dirty due to being hit by the grave ground, began to approach and crouch next to the mother's tombstone. Praying for a moment and sowing flowers on the vortex, along with Debby, Nuha, Faqih, and also Ustadz Irsyad.

The others were still standing behind them. Also pray prayer.

A few hours after the prayer is finished. They began to move, and only left Ustadz Irsyad in that place.

He grabbed a bit of the tomb and then put it on the mound again. I don't know what was in the mind of the ustadz, which he must have again grabbed the tomb land and grasped it tightly.

His eyes blinked after exhaling his breath slowly dispelling the tightness.

"Just go home, and tomorrow you come again." Ustadz Irsyad said, rubbing the base of the tombstone bearing the words Rahma Qurrata Aini. After that he went and walked through the path, out of the cemetery complex.

***

The night came again, after the tahlilan event.

Ustadz Irsyad's family still gathered, in the living room with the position of lesehan. Because the sofas that were there were temporarily removed.

Aida and Safa had been home since this afternoon, only Ulum was there.

Mr. Huda, ustadz Rahmat and his wife, and aunt Maryam were still there. They chat usually discuss things that can be said to be stale.

Aunt Maryam and Umma Hasna and Umm Hanifah or sister Siti (wife of Mr. Huda) were chatting in the living room with Debby and also Noah. While Rumi and A' Faqih are in the front gazebo. Whether you are chatting what the two men are, maybe A' Faqih is calming Rumi who was just sitting and daydreaming, alone.

Back to the women.

Umm Hasna rubbed Noah's shoulder, the girl was no longer crying. He was smiling looking at Ziya with those eyes.who was carrying Umm Hanifah while laughing.

"Take a. Anyway tea, you now consider Umma a real mother huh. Do not be awkward with Umma if you want to need anything. I'll spend more time on you." Umma Hasna said, with her hands still on her daughter-in-law's shoulders.

"Iyya Umm Hanifah, Umma. thanks." Noah answered with a bitter smile. Still, nothing could replace the figure of the biological mother in his heart. But he still considers Umma Hasna as a biological mother far from when she was just becoming his son-in-law.

Debby smiled, Umm Hasna turned to Debby.

"Geulists... You should be more patient, because in this house. You as the only woman so you must be able to be a substitute for your mother-in-law, take care of Abi with your husband well, inshaAllah is your reward field."

"Yes ma'am inshaAllah, Debby will try." Answer Debby gently.

Until the night continued, they were still chatting lightly. Until Maryam left, she had to say goodbye to him too.

Along with that, outside came the cry of greeting. Looks like a new guest is coming.

Maryam with Debby out, she was a little stunned to see the man who was hugging with Ustadz Irsyad.

'he was Habib who, at that time, met at the Masjid, right?' inner Maryam who feels familiar with the man who uses Koko white robe, as well as a turban wrapped around her head.

as with Maryam, the man had turned to her so as to make Maryam immediately lowered her head. He said goodbye to Ustadz Irsyad for a moment and then came out of the house.

Habib Bilal turned his head a little, then refocused on Ustadz Irsyad and the others. While in his heart wondering, it seemed like he knew that ethnic Chinese woman, but where?

–––

Outside the fence, Maryam clasped Debby's hand tightly.

"You should be more mature, because it might be hard for your husband. Be a force for him." Said Maryam giving away.

"Yes Aunt. Thank you for coming here all day."

Maryam smiling. "I'm your guardian's replacement here."

"Ah... Hehe." Chuckles with a heart that feels empty. It should be his parents. There was a feeling of envy raging in his heart.

Where Safa's parents and the parents of Noah's husband were very close to Irsyad. Unlike him, at a time like this, his parents should also be present, so that there are no unpleasant feelings anymore. He looked towards the gazebo. Seeing Faqih enter while Rumi was left alone in that place.

"Yes, meet your husband." Mary blurted out Debby's daydream, and the girl smiled.

"Yes... Aunt be careful."

"Yes dear. Assalamualaikum."

"Getishalam." Debby replied, she waited until her aunt got into her vehicle and after the car left she turned her head again towards Rumi, but the husband seemed to be about to enter visible from him who was moving from his sitting position, which was directly followed by Debby in.
