Tahajud Love
Chapter 16's

Arumi went inside and slowly stepped her legs to take a seat near the gurney. Then, in a soft voice Atumi tried to greet Khadijah who was lying on his back. So Khadijah did not know that there was Arumi who was nearby.

”Assalamu'alaikum,”

”Wa'alaikumsalam.”

Somtak Khadijah was shocked to hear the voice of a woman in his room. And that voice was no stranger to him. So he found Arumi who was nearby.

”Yulian, what if the information you got was wrong? The one inside is not Khadijah, but Khaira.”

”No way, Tristan. I'm sure the information I got was correct. Khadijah and Khaira it is one woman.” Arjuna and Ahtar were immediately shocked.

”But why ... the name is different? What was the purpose of Khadijah's mother changing her name?” ask Ahtar.

”Maybe it was because ... Me and Alex.” Yulian said, guessing.

Everyone was silent with their own thoughts. There is a sense of happiness in Yulian if it is true that the woman is Khadijah. For he will not bother to search back where Khadijah was. And he will not feel the urgency with Ahtar or any other.

While waiting for Arumi out of the room Yulian invited Abdullah to dinner in the hospital canteen. Because it was until that night Yulian and Abdullah had not had time to eat dinner, while the others were clear they had given ammunition to their stomachs.

”Abdullah, forgive me for tonight. Eat as is in this canteen, so that you do not feel hungry.” Abdullah smiled as he nodded.

Not long after, a canteen maid delivered their order. As usual, before continuing to eat they read the basmalah and prayer before eating. After that, they enjoyed a simple meal in the cafeteria. Yulian and Abdullah continued to enjoy the meal without listening to the noise of several people visiting.

After a few minutes later Yulian and Abdullah decided to rejoin Tristan, Arjuna and Ahtar. And as they walked down the aisle of the hospital, the question posed by Abdullah succeeded in making Yulian stop his steps.

”Yulian, what if that woman is Khadijah? What will you do after?”

”E .. I .. I don't know Abdullah! What I think about now is his health and safety. Because danger will return to target its existence.” Abdullah mangut-mangut justifies the words of Yulian.

Again they continued their steps to get to Khadijah's room. And once there Yulian found Arumi who had come out of the room with teary eyes.

’What's wrong with Arumi? Could something happen to Khadijah?’ ask Julian in heart.

Instantly they welcomed Yulian's presence with a gaze that was hard to decipher. And it made Yulian just look at them one by one, asking for an explanation of what was going on. While they did not give an explanation to Yulian, making Yulian jerk into the room to ascertain how Khadija was.

”Jeddar..”.

”Deg..”.

The sisters who were there were surprised by Yulian's sudden presence. Not only the sisters were surprised, even Khadija and Yulian were surprised. Because they were found in unnatural circumstances and should not.

”I'm sorry! I didn't know that ... sister was helping her wear that..”.

As soon as Yulian turned her body, she felt hesitant to get out of the room but would get embarrassed. If he stays inside, he will be ashamed. Indeed, Yulian felt awkward about what to do, not being able to dwell in the slightest.

”Pak, I'm done helping your wife. Now if you want to see him you can. Then excuse me!”

”E .. Yes Sus, thank you!”

”Come! I've been wearing my veil. Can't you just go out and meet them? Besides... You've already been to kepalang.” Sontak Yulian was surprised by what Khadijah said.

With embarrassment Yulian turned her back then, walking slowly towards Khadijah. Khadija smiled for a moment, although not clearly seen, but his narrowed eyes have proven that Khadija was smiling. As for Yulian, he scratched his non-itchy nape.

’Really apes today servant, Yes Allah.” Yulian grumbled inwardly.

For the sake of looking friendly and as if fine, Yulian also smiled back at Khadijah. Then he took a seat beside Khadijah. Again Yulian was embarrassed when Khadijah asked the question so easily.

”Why did you enter in such a hurry? Didn't Arumi tell you there was a nurse who wanted to change my clothes?”

”Uhuk... uhuk...uk.

Instantly Yulian choked on hearing the thing that embarrassed him to death.

”Why you? Drink!”

”Emm..”

Yulian drank a mouthful of water that Khadijah gave him. And back, Khadijah gave a big smile to Yulian.

’Masyaa Allah, why. so beautiful?’ inner Yulian.

”Be careful drinking! Fear of choking later again.”

’Astaghfirullah, I thought what is this?’

Yulian stopped her drink and returned it to the nightstand, after which Yulian neutralized what made her heart beat violently. But it's not what and why.

For a moment Yulian ventured to look at Khadijah at such a close distance. While Khadija looked timid, which made Yulian feel clumsy.

Silent...

One sec...

Two seconds...

”Emm... It has been a long time since we have met. What's up with you?”

”Alhamdulillah, as we first met. I'm good and very good. But sorry ... if I pretend I don't recognize you.” Yulian smiled faintly.

”Ah, no problem.”

The atmosphere was silent again, because Yulian seemed to run out of topics. While Khadijah, he just fell silent without flinching the porch lowered his gaze.

’I... really feel awkward Oh God. How do I treat her?’ Julian asked in his heart.

Yulian was engulfed in a raging sense of confusion, wanting to talk continuously but he did not have the right topic. And it was like Yulian asked Khadijah to stay with him, but again it was not the right thing after he knew that it was Khadijah and not Khaira. Because without a bond it is impossible for Yulian to ask Khadijah to stay with him, fearing to cause slander and sin if there are neighbors who know the existence of Khadijah. However, if Yulian let Khadijah go, he feared that the quarrel between his two children would happen again. Even Yulian was also afraid that Khadija would be threatened with danger while outside.

’Aw author... Don't confuse me dong! Give me a good story.’
