Depart

"It's all right?"

"It's Bah"

"Yes let's go in!"

Today, yes today is the day that I will be going abroad. Leaving this historic old town, leaving Abah and Ummi behind. I got into the car that Abah rented, followed by Abah and Ummi.

I thought Abah and Ummi would take me to the alley and wait for me until I got on the bus by myself, but it turned out that Abah and Ummi were taking me straight to the airport. I was more moved, wanting to feel like I was crying, but it was not worth it if I was crying in front of them.

Along the way to the airport, both my hands continued to hold Abah and Ummi's hands, it felt so heavy when I was about to leave them. My heart rumbled to express what I felt, for a moment my tears were floating in the eye, but I held back my might so as not to spill them.

O Allah, please take care of my parents as long as I am away from them, draw their hearts to me, O Lord.

"Zulph!"

Sapa Abah broke my daydream, I saw the man's eyes were so shady, there was a lot of love in them.

"Eh yes Bah?" My solute.

"Dreams?"

"Nhh. no"

I heard Abah laughing, I turned my face away. Unable to look at his face. I'll cry again.

Actually it was not only Abah and Ummi who drove me, there was Kak Aneeta and her secretary, Luluk, and Dian as well. But they're not one car with me, they're in Aneeta's car.

I looked back, Daris ana I saw her car Kak Aneeta following the car I was riding in from behind. I want to travel longer, but the distance from home to get to the international airport only takes less than an hour, I wanted to linger just to be with Abah and Ummi.

As time went on, the car was parked in the parking lot. We got out one by one, Abah helped by the driver to get some of my suitcases and bags out of the trunk. We started walking towards the airport.

Actually my flight hours are still 2 hours away, but Aneeta said it would be better to wait early, so as not to miss check-in or even the plane.

While waiting for check-in time we had a chat on one of the benches available around the airport. Abah gave me memorable messages, because this was my first flight. But I'm a little worried.

"No need to worry about the Fa! I know your English is fluent, so it makes it easy for you to communicate" said Luluk who sat next to Ummi. I smiled bitterly. Half an hour later, the time finally came when I had to part with them.

"There's been a call to check in" Abah said with her shady face. My smile instantly faded, this sense of coming back.

I hugged Abah and kissed her hand, as well as Ummi, I hugged her tightly.

"Dear yourself, take care of your health, do not forget to always give the news!" Amanah Ummi to me. I nodded with a smile. Even though my smile is fake.

"Be careful, let me know if there's a problem, sorry I can't come" Aneeta said, holding both shoulders.

"Fa! Don't forget his gift, hihihi" said Luluk with a cry. I hugged her. Just a week ago he said something surprising to me. I can't believe that this childish friend of mine will soon be married to her life choice. I will always support him.

"Here go, bring pride to Abah and Ummimu this" said Ummi as he stroked my head.

"That's just a message, wherever you are don't forget the direction of your Qibla Nduk!" Again, Abah made me look shocked. Abah's words were too heavy for me to hear. I kissed their hands one more time, then I went to the check-in.

It was heavy for my footsteps. But I have to do this. Oh, God, strengthen me.

I started to connect the queue for check-in, sometimes I looked back, I still found my parents there. They never relaxed their smiles at me. Until it was time to check in.

When I finished, I waved my right hand towards them, Abah and Ummi replied with a wave. Until I drown behind the door. No more seeing them.

While waiting for the flight departure, I waited in the waiting room to enjoy a bottle of cappuccino. My eyes were moving all over the airport. Just this time I entered the airport, and will naimoesawat to go abroad.

Here alone has been deg-degan, especially if later it has arrived in the world fashion center country. My imagination is everywhere.

My only purpose there is to carry out my duty, if God permits I will bring a surprise from there. God has allowed me to set foot in this airport, soon I will be in the land of people, I pray that God will take care of me while I am there.

Not feeling the call for the airline that I was riding echoed, the people around me began to stand, I also stood up.

Bismillah.

I started walking towards the gate, around me there were a lot of people, only a few were wearing hijabs like me, the other female passengers were not. I pulled up my thick jacket to wrap my body.

One by one the passengers started boarding the plane, as did I. I remember my seat number, my head and my eyes exploring the entire cabin. Finally met. I got a seat in the window seat, right next to the window.

I can see the painting of the Almighty from here. After a long time, the plane finally got ready to fly. My Inagtan still had time to return to Abah and Ummi, without their blessing I would never be here.

So remember after I checked in, one of my suitcases fell off when it was about to be carried into the trunk, there was an airport attendant who helped me, he was so kind, that he intended to help me put my suitcase.

I was sitting next to a grandmother wearing glasses, and we were talking before the plane took off.

"What city are you from?" ask the grandmother.

"Oh from South Jakarta Grandma?"

"I'm from Depok, going to France to see my son, he just gave birth yesterday" she explained with a smile. I was a little surprised by the statement of Grandma who was beside me, the love of a mother is indeed Tara, so willing to go abroad at a vulnerable age just to visit her child. Subhanallah.

I began to not dare to speak when the Grandma turned her attention to a magazine in her hand.I leaned my head to my right side, staring out the window.

hah, so miss Abah and Ummi.

I smiled faintly, my daydreams crashing out when a flight attendant scolded me to put up a seatbelt, I was too yummy. Not natural after the plane glided.

Bismillah, may Allah protect me.
