Pledge of Love Rumi
habib and the author of the novel

A few minutes passed, and the show began. Maryam sat on the right side, with one of the female moderators, while on the left was habib Bilal with one of the male moderators.

Because the theme of this seminar is to discuss about being successful at a young age, but still hold fast to sharia.

"Assalamualaikum Habib." Greet the male moderator next to him.

"Walaikumsalam warahmatullah" replied Bilal.

"Well, Habib Bilal? MashaAllah's... Pantes anyway if this is currently being loved once yes by young people. Still young is a Habib, handsome too, MashaAllah." seduced the male moderator next to him.

While Habib Bilal just looked down with a smile.

"May you know a little, how the journey of life of a Habib Bilal so that he can become a leader of sholawat and preacher who is now starting to rise. This is great for him..."

"MashaAllah's... Don't praise me. Remain great is Allah SWT, because of His grace I can be like this. And my mother's prayer was also."

"Subhanallah, it cannot be denied that a mother's prayer is truly the most extraordinary yes. But sorry Bib, I heard Habib was orphaned from childhood. Is that right Bib?"

"Yes... My brother died when I was four years old. But here, I really admire the figure of a great woman. He is my Ummi, who can raise three children where we are still small. My sister who was in the middle at that time was only three years old, while the youngest was still one year old."

"MashaAllah's... What was Ummi's figure like, Habib?"

"That ummi? The figure of a beautiful woman who I think is personal, she is like Siti Hapsah. Rosulullah Saw's... Women who never leave the evening prayer and fasting Sunnahnya." said habib Bilal. Hearing that, Maryam also stared. It seemed that he was interested in the story of Habib Bilal, he listened seriously.

"Ummi even decided not to marry again. Because he said? Want to meet Abi in heaven." Smilingly.

"MashaAllah." muttered some people there.

"I didn't understand it before. If a wife will be able to meet her husband again in heaven if she does not remarry during her life. And do Salih to get the pleasure of Allah SWT. But now, I get it... And Ummi, still holds firm to his belief to this day. To preserve her honor as Abi's wife. That's what he believes... For Ummi, Abi did not leave. He only came home first, and was waiting for Ummi at this time."

"Subhanallah... It was amazing Ummi. Having a faithful wife even though we are dead may not all be able to get it, Bib."

"Yes... That's right" Bilal replied.

Bilal was silent for a moment. He remembers the past, when he was awake for a third of the night. He often heard the mother crying as much as she was doing a long prostration.

It also made little Bilal cry to hear it. Even though he did not understand, the cause of the umminya crying.

But for the present thought? Bilal catches that the mother feels so lonely and misses the figure of her husband.

Because if you think about it? living as a widow, at a young age. At that time, twenty-four years old was not easy.

While Ummi Isti at that time there were no parents anymore. He had to fight alone to support his three children.

It is true that there is still a family from Abinya or his own family. But because of the principle of Ummi Isti who never want to make himself a burden on others. Many people refuse it when they want to help.

Bilal sighed, he rubbed his wet eyes.

"Sorry, I'm sensitive about telling you about Ummi." Bilal tried to snigger. But soon the male moderator next to him gave a tissue for Habib Bilal.

The question session continued, now the discussion began to things that make them the seminar audience laugh because apparently Bilal figure is quite humble and easy to invite people to joke.

Until the question was diverted to Maryam. A writer whose work began to rise, since there is one book that was filmed.

"The Assalamualaikum Ci Maryam..."

"MashaAllah, graceful and gentle in voice. It's really pretty huh."

"MashaAllah's... Thank goodness." Maryam smiling.

"Ci about the book entitled 'Love broken by infertility.' is amazing, best seller. It even won several awards, for being the book that sold the most. How did it get this successful at first?"

"It must be sustenance. Haha." Chuckles.

"Cici could have... but the idea of the story, is it true ci real story? It's so heartbreaking if I see the trailer of the film that will be aired, MashaAllah."

"There are a few, but not all. Some romance essays are also a spice in the novel. Like the character of Zaeni a pious man who eventually married Wanda a barren widow. He was much older than that man. There really isn't, in the original story."

"Gee... Then there really is a Wanda figure?"

"Yes..." Mary answered with a charming smile.

While Debby shed her tears as she looked at her Tante's stern expression. Yep... Because he knew that Maryam was Wanda.

"So curious... What is Wanda like? In that novel. A little spoiler is yes..." Chuckles.

"Emmm... Wanda was a very weak woman, when she was ostracized by a large family because she was a convert. From Catholic to Muslim."

"Ahhh... So he converted?"

Maryam chuckles, "yes..."

"MashaAllah's. Then?"

"Yes, when deciding to marry a man who asked her to emigrate, she had to give a big decision. When he found out that Wanda could not give him offspring. She then asked her husband to remarry and be ready for polygamy. From there Wanda's bitter life began."

"Yes my... But in the book, not written details of Wanda's previous life story yes. Only glimpses. Then Wanda met Zaeni's figure."

"Yes... That's the prince of Wanda's dreams, the man who can accept her flaws. Because he himself had the same flaws. Which is also barren."

"But the ending?"

"Read or watch the movie later." Maryam chuckled, which also made the people there laugh.

While Habib Bilal smiled faintly while bowing to Maryam's words. To be honest, from earlier he was pervading the story, even though Maryam was telling about the characters in the novel? But somehow, it was like real once made him drift in the short story.

***

The show is over... All visitors are scattered.

Maryam and Debby decided to visit the mosque not far from the location while waiting for Ashar time.

They wander around for a moment, admiring the magnificent building, the most comfortable place for all Muslims in the world, yes... That's mosque.

Until unknowingly, the voice of the Adhan began to roar they both immediately came to the ablution place.

When they finished, they returned to the prayer room. Then before long iqomah reverberated, they began to close the staff to prepare for prayer.

"Allahu Akbar...." The cry of a priest, who echoed using a loudspeaker. Making Maryam pause for a moment, she seemed to know this voice but who? But soon he was determined to start the four raka'at.
