Tahajud Love
Chapter 1

Reading the mushaf every morning is something that Yulian has been accustomed to after carrying out his duties as a Muslim. And when the dawn began to break he preferred to be in the backyard. Where it was a place that made him feel comfortable while breathing the morning air.

"Hmmm, uh,"

His hands stretched out as he took a breath from his nose and then he released it slowly through his mouth. Both of his eyes were closed, enjoying the twilight of the morning which began to emit light and warm the city that he occupied at this time.

It had been almost half an hour that Yulian had done so to refresh his body and while he was still enjoying his morning habit it was suddenly a ringing call had been heard. So that he had to stop his activity. Then, take his device that is above the backyard nightstand.

"Assalamu'alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh, Abi."

"Wa'alaikumsalam warahmatullahi wabarakatuh, Juna. How are you and the light?"

"Thank God we're good, Bi. What about Abi himself? Does Abi still want to settle there?"

"Emm, I don't know!" the ambiguous answer from Yulian made Arjuna just nod slowly. It was as if he understood what the father was still going through.

"If Abi still wants to be there, even stay there forever_Arjuna will never object to that decision. Because the most important thing for Arjuna and the Light is comfort, happiness and health Abi."

The smile was also from the son to encourage the father back after experiencing a slump for approximately two years after the departure of Aisyah. During these two years, Yulian preferred to live and settle in Edinburgh. The city that Aisyah dreams of doing business there. And over time Yulian was able to buy a convenience store there to be a business_not only that, Yulian also built a boutique with various forms of fashion in it. However, the most common is Muslim fashion, one of which is gamis.

"Maybe Abi will stay here, not until when Abi does not know. And ... oh yes, how is the state of Light after the course of therapy?"

"Alhamdulillah Abi, the Light has been able to walk and over time He can forget about the fall." Arjuna pulled back the tip of his lips. So that again looks a smile that makes Yulian's heart calm and feel relieved.

"All right, I hope you get a replacement for the baby soon. May God confirm your prayers and all of us."

"Aamiin, Abi. Hopefully,"

Not long after that smile greeting only through the air is now ended with greeting. After that, Yulian Handak re-do the next activity after a moment of yoga. However, just as his feet were about to start stepping he suddenly heard a voice that made him happy and rose from a deep sense of slump. To meet a new life for a little princess named Azmi Hafizha Dinillah. Often called Hafizha.

"Abii." Shouted Hafizha from a distance of approximately one meter in pajama clothes with pictures of the moon and stars.

Immediately Yulian proffered_directed his gaze and stared at the center of the voice. Then, he spread out his hands_welcomed his little daughter, who is now two years old. Likewise with Hafizha, wrestled spoiled to Yulian while wrapping her two little hands on Yulian's back.

"Waking up is Abi's daughter!"

Yulian held Hafizha while pinching her nose. Then, Yulian took her back to the room to do the morning routine before the day showed at seven o'clock. Because if it shows at seven o'clock, he must return to work every day. Which starts from the convenience store to check there, then goes to the boutique to meet with Arumi, then after that he must return to the office to do work there.

"Emm ... okay! Then now Hafizha takes a bath with Abi. Let's go!"

Yulian held Hafizha while tickling her stomach. So that makes the little girl laugh freely_which makes Yulian come laughing. However, in his mind again terbesit memories of the woman who is currently still missed by his presence, "Aisyah, if you are with us. You will laugh happily with us. I miss you, Aisha."

It was like Yulian was screaming, spilling all the yearning for Aisha. However, it is not possible he did_it will only make him a stupid man without a definite purpose. While he should give comfort and happiness to poor little Hafizha_daughter.

"Abi, can Iza ask you a question?"

Hafizha's innocent face stared fixedly at Yulian who was bathing her. Likewise with Yulian who was looking at him with a mind full of question marks. Then, Yulian asked the little white and blonde princess, "Hafizha would ask what? Just say!"

"When did Hafizha get Umi's affection? Hafizha wants to meet Umi, Abi." The chirp of Hafizha that made both of Yulian's eyes dewy.

Yulian paused for a moment to think about what answer to give Hafizha. Because Yulian knew that Hafizha was too small to understand that she would not get the mother's affection forever after the departure of the two female figures who were supposed to give the affection.

"God, how do I answer that question? Should I go back to lying to this little boy?" Yulian said inwardly as she stared fixedly at the innocent face of Hafizha who was still looking at her.

"Why shut up?"

Hafizha again asked the question _which made Yulian aware of the shadow of Aisyah and also Khadijah. Then, Yulian answered Hafizha's question gently_so Hafizha finally understood. Although from his heart there was no intention to lie to Hafizha. However, how else_because it's the best for now.

The car has been driven by Abdullah at medium speed. Likewise with Yulian who was enjoying the morning trip in Edinburgh. Although the weather seems cloudy, but it does not make Yulian stop all the activities done every day _to lay down his body or have fun at home alone. Because it's not really a Yulian. Especially when one month lost Aisyah, Yulian only dwells in the office_busy themselves so as not to continuously remember the pseudo shadow Aisyah dancing in her eyes.

"Assalamu'alaikum,"

"Wa'alaikumsalam's chat. What's the matter you're calling, Arumi?"

From the other side, Arumi is heard explaining the problems in the boutique through a flat object that is still attached to Yulian's grasp. And after hearing that, Yulian asked Abdullah to speed up his car to get to the boutique. Abdullah and Yulian did not take long _about fifteen minutes they arrived in front of the boutique courtyard, then parked the car in the parking lot that had been provided.

"You just wait here! Once my business is done, I'll be right back then, we can continue our journey to the office."

"Okay, Yulian." The two nodded slowly to give each other respect.

Yulian's move was accelerated to immediately meet Arumi_ who was asked to keep a boutique in Edinburgh. And it looks like the door of Arumi's room has opened wide, but it is not likely that Yulian will just enter there. Because for Yulian it is not polite, especially Arumi is a woman who is currently wearing clothes that are covered _even a black veil is so attached to cover her face.
