Tahajud Love
Chapter 112 “Tahajud Cinta”

Khadijah turned his gaze the other way from Yulian's gaze. And it made Yulian momentarily exhale his heavy breath but he would not give up right then and there.

“Neng, never remember not.. about Neng's father and mother who was always there first for Neng. In fact, the existence of them Neng will never be born in the world. And our paradise as a child is at the feet of its mother. While a father is a daughter's first love.”

“Dan.. without Neng realizing that Neng had helped Alex, Neng's biological father from hell fire. Neng knows not why?”

Khadijah stared at Yulian with his eyebrows twitching together, as if he was thinking about the answer to Yulian's question.

“Neng don't know, Hubby.” Khadija shook his head. “What is the reason?”

Yulian smiled faintly, rubbing the top of Khadija's head gently. Then don't forget Yulian kissed Khadijah's forehead full of love.

“Because Neng is already wearing clothes that are covered. Neng wears a long dangling hijab, a wide robe and wears a veil.”

“A daughter will close the gates of hell for her Father, her brother, her husband and also her son if, wearing a headscarf that is able to close her aura.”

“What neng understands now, hmm?”

Khadijah nodded, a sign he understood with Yulian's explanation. Although long but easily understood by Khadijah. And that made Khadija shed her tears.

“But... What about Papa's sins that have been committed? How can you get into heaven so easily?”

“Not a man can judge how man himself acts in the world. But remember. there is Allah SWT who asks angels to record the good deeds and bad deeds of his people.”

“Allah SWT is Most Forgive for His servant who truly repents. As long as Alex wants to change himself to become a better servant, God willing will launch a journey in the afterlife if the time comes to fulfill the call of Allah SWT.”

Again Khadijah nodded, confirming Yulian's remark. And after coming to terms with his past hatred for Alex, Khadija was finally able to apologize to his Papa.

Yulian pushed back Khadijah's wheelchair towards the ER and sat in the waiting room. Yulian did not let go of his hand with Khadija. Because Yulian knew, the grip he gave meant so much to Khadijah to be made a strength.

Twenty minutes later, Ahtar came out of the ER room. And Yulian greeted Ahtar after Ahtar was outside.

“How is the condition... Alex?”

“It's stable, Bi. After this the nurse will move to the ward. Abi... want her moved to a regular room or.” Ahtar hung his words into the air.

“VIP only, so we can more easily watch the movements.”

Yulian took care of the administration, while Khadijah accompanied by Arjuna, Cahaya and Hafizha joined the VIP room which will be used as Alex's hospital room during the healing period.

Ahtar headed to her room about to change clothes and also asked another doctor to sew her torn stomach times.

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

‘It feels... so long haven't seen it. Though also still two days.’ Zuena exhaled her heavy breath.

Zuena just stood in front of Ahtar's room, staring with a twinkle of longing. The hope of meeting was present in Zuena's heart. But the feeling was soon he was far away in the hope that could not happen.

“Zuena!” call Ahtar lirih.

Zuena who felt the middle of being called his name immediately accepted. And Zuena was surprised without him knowing Ahtar had been standing behind him.

“Sorry! Dock. I... do not mean to..” Zuena hung up her words.

“It's okay.” Ahtar tried to be ordinary.

Silent...

Ahtar tried to smile kindly in front of Zuena even though he was feeling pain in his stomach. While Zuena prefers to lower her gaze because she feels bad.

”Doctor Ahtar, we're in now! I'll stitch your wounds again,” said Dr. Galih.

Ahtar nodded, agreeing with Galih's doctor's request. And Ahtar also could not bear the pain in his stomach anymore, because the blood was seeping more and more. Even the blood was on Ahtar's clothes and hands.

“You came inside?”

Ahtar's voice that was characteristic of a grown man had made Zuena look at him for a moment. Even the gazes of the two locked onto each other, even though the gaze was only short but made Ahtar and Zuena misbehave.

“I?” zuena asked while pointing at her face.

Ahtar just nodded, reassuring Zuena.

“Let's just relax, there's Doctor Galih inside. So, we're not just the two of us. And.. believe me! We won't do anything to you.”

Zuena rounded her eyes, she did not understand what Ahtar meant. But he followed Ahtar from behind and accompanied Ahtar in the room and saw Ahtar being sewn into his belly.

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

After taking care of the administration, Yulian headed to Alex's room. And upon arrival Alex has shown that he will be aware.

Alex's fingers moved slowly, then both of his eyes began to open. But his consciousness had not yet fully returned, and all he could capture was a white ceiling.

‘Where am I currently?’ ask Alex in your heart.

“Papa,” call Khadijah.

Slowly Alex turned to the center of the voice on his right side. And Alex also captured the existence of Khadijah, on the side of Khadijah there is Yulian, Arjuna, Light and on the very end there is Hafizha.

Alex smiled, and a sense of urgency had to come to his heart. Looks brownish eyes Alex filled with tears that pacify_meets his eye fertilizers.

“Thanks! Because you didn't really let me die in your house.. daughter-in-law.” Alex smiled faintly.

Alex's speech made Yulian, Khadija, Cahaya, Arjuna and Hafizha surprised. They couldn't believe that Alex would assume Yulian was his son-in-law. It was not the enemy that Yulian had thought of all this time.

“Sama-sama. As fellow servants of Allah SWT are obliged to help each other and help.” Julian curled his lips perfectly.

“Juna... will call Ahtar first to check the condition of pack Alex.” Arjuna moves out and searches for Ahtar's whereabouts.

“Khadija, forgive your Papa this, Nak.” Alex raised his hand to grab Khadija's hand.

Khadija who was not too close to the side of the banker immediately approached. And after that Khadijah grabbed Alex's fingers accompanied by a slow nod.

“Khadija has forgiven everything, Pa. Because God taught His people to forgive each other.”

Alex nodded, then turned to look at Yulian who was standing behind Khadijah.

“Thanks! Because you want to marry, keep and always faithfully accompany Khadijah and Hafizha all this time, Yulian.”

“And maybe.. My mistake is huge. I have committed sins that God could not forgive.”

“No, Sir. Allah SWT is Most Forgiving to His servant who sincerely repents.”

“Do I still deserve to be called a servant while I am a sinner, Yulian? And do I deserve to be near you?”

Alex turned his eyes away, he did not want if everyone knew now in the corner of his eyes there were tears that re-stained. Alex felt unworthy to be in the midst of the Yulian family who had been kind to him.

Khadija who saw this immediately his heart was filled, even his throat felt choked and his chest cavity felt so tight. However, he was unable to say anything to address Alex's past actions. Because all the decisions for Khadijah were with Yulian_yang as her husband and also the head of the household.

“Pak! Never say anything like that, because we are a family. You are currently.. my in-laws.”.

Yulian changed the way he spoke with Alex, Ian's courtesy back applied when chatting with Alex as an older person than himself.

Alex who heard Yulian's words again felt overwhelmed, although he had several times wanted to save the Yulian family but now Yulian actually treated himself as best he could.

“Bapak in-law? Do I deserve to be your father-in-law, Julian? I did this to Khadijah, my own daughter. And even now, I don't know whether to call myself a father or a grandfather... Hafizha.” Alex turned his gaze to Hafizha who was standing at the end.

The so-called Hafizha lowered his head. He did not want to be overwhelmed with excessive anger, because he had promised Ahtar that night.

“It will remain appropriate and mandatory for me, sir. Because Khadijah is your son, while Hafizha... You have the right to call him your son.”

“No, Yulian. Yulian, I want you to remain the father of Hafizha. Let me be a grandfather to him. Because I believe you and Aisha have changed the deed from Hafizha. And I don't want to change all that.” Alex nodded, reassuring Yulian of what he said.

Hafizha who heard it was also happy, did not expect that Alex would be kind and so noble.

Yulian nodded, a sign that Yulian had agreed to the decision that Alex had already spoken. And for everyone it was a good decision, for the future of Hafizha not to get bullies and bad jeers from his other friends.

And by then Alex had made peace with Yulian, Khafijah and Hafizha. While the previous Light they were not adrift in any matter with Alex, so there was no grudge or hatred in his heart. And at that time Yulian decided to consider Alex as a mertunya who must be respected and loved.

Arjuna and Ahtar entered the room, before long Zuena entered and walked behind Ahtar and Arjuna.

Sontak Yulian and all who were there were shocked to see the arrival of Zuena who was with Arjuna and Ahtar.

“Zuena,” call Yulian slowly.

“Iya, Om. This... Zuena.” Zuena lowered her head, feeling embarrassed as she stared intently at Yulian.

Ahtar walked up to Alex, and he placed a stestoscope around his neck over Alex's chest. Continue_Ahtar check blood pressure until Ahtar stated that Alex's condition was much better than before.

Yulian and the others were relieved to hear what Ahtar was saying about Alex's health. And if you're allowed to go home, Yulian asks Alex to stay with him.

Not only that, Alex no longer wants to be a person who continues to sin until his age. And after his condition is completely recovered Alex wants to convert.

“Yulian, help Papa become a Muslim and help Papa become a good servant of God. Do you want?”

“Yulian didn't hear wrong right, Pa?”

“No. Papa is serious, Papa wants to convert to Islam.” Alex replied accompanied by a nod.

“Alhamdulillah,” suffocate everyone who heard Alex's statement.

Yulian was too excited, she gave a nod with a smile brimming from her lips. Not only Yulian, Khadija did not think that Alex could be that fast in deciding to convert. While Khadija knew Alex himself never had an interest in the name of Islam.

“If Papa has recovered later, Papa can follow Yulian.”

Small talk kept rolling accompanied them all. However, when Yulian recalled that there was Zuena at once Yulian stopped the conversation that was still going on.

“Ahtar... Zuena, can you come out for a minute?”

Ahtar and Zuena looked at each other, then nodded and followed Yulian out of the room. Yulian was looking for a comfortable place to serve as a place to chat relaxed the three. And Yulian's choice was in the hospital canteen, because the location was still one place with a hospital. In addition, in the canteen of Yulian hospital will not be far from Khadijah and others, the distance of Alex's room is only one kilometer.

“Sit! You can order food and drinks as you like, and we have breakfast together. Abi's stomach.. has been rumbling since earlier.”

Yulian headed for the position of the cafeteria stall, then ordered the food that she would give the three of them breakfast in the canteen.

The breakfast chosen by Yulia is not far from Indonesian cuisine. Especially if not rendang, some days Khadija can not make the cuisine so that Yulian can only buy it.

And Ahtar only ordered warm coffee, while Zuena was just plain water. It made Yulian think, if Zuena is a woman who comes from the ordinary throne.

“Zuena, why did you only order water? Just chill! Abi who paid him later,” said Yulian friendly.

“No need, Abi. Zuena. And Abi didn't have to bother paying for all this.”

“No problem. This is Abi who asked, you do not need to hesitate.”

‘Why does Abi think like that? What's... Abi thinks I can't afford food?’ ask Zuena inwardly.

Zuena continues to reject Yulian's request, until Yulian gives up asking Zuena to order the food she likes. And while waiting for their order came Yulian chatting lightly with Ahtar and Zuena.

“Maybe Abi's question will sound so absurd. But Abi should know why you can be together?”

“I accidentally saw Zuena standing in front of my room earlier, then yes...all you guys I asked her to enter my room when Doctor Galih back sewed my stomach earlier.”

Seriate....
