Tahajud Love
Chapter 17's

Still in an uncomfortable atmosphere, confused, awkward and worried clashing into one. Yulian and Khadijah remained silent in silence. Because feeling so thirsty Khadijah tried to reach the glass that was on the nightstand. However, his hand did not reach to grab the glass. And Yulian saw the movement of Khadija, and he tried to help.

”You drink?”

Khadijah just nodded slowly.

”Say you're thirsty, I helped get her.” Khadijah lowered his gaze.

”I just don't want to trouble you.” Yulian reviewed the smile.

”It's okay to just get water. It is also not a hassle.” Back Khadijah nodded.

Then one glass of water Khadija sipped, but only half of it. Because it was drunk by Yulian when he choked earlier. So that makes the throat of Khadijah still feels dry, because Khadija still feels thirsty.

”Emm .. can I have another drink?” asked Khadijah doubtfully.

”E .. yes .. can.” Yulian nodded, noticing that half the water in the glass had been drunk. The shame was again present in him.

Without waiting for a long time Yulian immediately moved from his seat. Then, get out of the room to buy mineral water sold in the hospital canteen. While outside Yulian continued to move his legs without caring for his friend or two sons who were still standing there.

Yulian wanted to avoid awkwardness and embarrassment to her best friend and two sons, so she pretended to put on a face that had a sense of shamelessness.

”Yulian ... What's wrong with him? Why is he half-running like that?”

”Maybe ... Abi is avoiding us, Om.” Chirps Ahtar. Then they also justify it.

”But .. I feel sorry for him too. I shouldn't have cried like that.” All eyes were on Arumi who was slowly wiping away her tears.

”Arumi dear, but we do not ask you to cry like that, loh!”

”Iya is also a pity, but to deepen an acting itukan, like that.” Arumi grin.

While the others are mangosteen, justifying what was said by Arumi. The cry was just a mere charade, which succeeded in making Yulian feel worried for Khadijah. Even to the point of making Yulian feel ashamed of their making.

”Juna sure, Abi must have that feeling towards Mother Khadijah.”

”Yes, right what Bang Juna said. Ahtar also felt that Abi someday .. will fall in love with Mother Khadijah.”

All nodded slowly assuring Arjuna and Ahtar's belief. And after seeing how the situation of Khadijah is not too severe, they decided to return home. But not with Abdullah, because he was always loyal to Julian.

Yulian again passed in front of Khadijah's room, but he found neither his friend nor his two sons there. All he saw was Abdullah who was always loyal to him, waiting for him and accompanying him always.

”Abdullah, where did the others go?”

”They decided to go home. Because ... they know exactly how Khadijah.” is Yulian scratched his nape that did not feel itchy.

”Yes already, I'm in first. You stay here, Abdullah.” Abdullah nodded, obeying Yulian's orders.

Yulianasuk went inside with a big smile. The same thing was done by Khadijah to return the smile of Yulian. After standing near the nightstand, Yulian poured mineral water into the glass until it was fully filled. After that, Yulian offered Khadijah a glass of water.

both hearts beat faster when Khadijah's hand accidentally held Yulian's. And the fixed gaze between them had for a moment been locked. There are different feelings when looking at each other. Is that what you call love?

”Sorry, I didn't accidentally.” Yulian just nodded slowly, then Khadijah again lowered his gaze while sipping a glass of water that was still intact.

Yulian again helped Khadijah put an empty glass on the nightstand. And the atmosphere again felt silent, filled with silence, there was only the sound of roaring footsteps in front of the door. Not long after, someone was holding the door of the room. Instantly their eyes were on it to ascertain who was there.

”Sorry excuse me! I only deliver food to patients.” An officer was pushing a basket with a tray filled with porridge and drinks.

”Iya, Sir. Thank you!” reply Yulian short.

The officer left again after putting the porridge and water on the nightstand. And want it to taste Khadija ate the porridge immediately, because indeed that night he had not eaten so that hunger had whack worms in his stomach. Khadijah could only look at him, because he was embarrassed to ask Yulian for help continuously. There was a bad taste in his heart, especially when he fell in love at first sight.

”What ... you want to eat?”

Yulian mah, there are-anyah deh... do not see what from the nether highlight Khadijah who only looked at porridge full of desire to eat?

Sister writer, please make Yulian's heart sensitive a little huh!

Khadijah nodded slowly, confirming Yulian's question earlier.

”Will I help. You just eat, let me bribe.” Khadija shook his head.

”We are not makhram, Yulian. I don't want you to treat me like this. I don't deserve anything from you. Better now go!”

”I know that, Khadijah. If you ask me to leave, but sorry .. I can't do it.” Khadijah was stunned, he stared intently at Yulian.

”What do you mean? Why can't you do it? We have nothing to do, you better let me go right now! Let me go to my place.”

Khadijah scolded to remove the infusion needle that was still attached to the back of his hand. However, Yulian could not let Khadijah just leave. Because he did not want to be in a dispute with his two sons and his best friend. And Yulian also did not want Khadija to be in danger after knowing Alex was free.

”I won't let you go, Khadija. Listen to my explanation, I beg you!”

”What explanation will you tell me, Yulian? We ... there is no relationship whatsoever, it is not appropriate that we are in a room like this. Let me go right now!”

”What about Hafizha if .. you still want to go, Khadijah? Don't you miss her as a mother?” peekkik Yulian's.

Khadija who was ready to open the door stopped immediately. Then turned back his body, his manic look had condensed. But as soon as he brushed off all the feelings for Hafizha, he did not want to be caught up in a world he did not want to enter anymore.

”Why with Hafizha? She's happy with you, Julian. I don't want to go into her early life saying I'm her mother, because she knows ... Aisha is her mother. So, don't find me with him and you don't look for me!”

Khadijah ran without listening to a word from Yulian. As for Yulian, he rubbed his face in a huff, a sense of worry coming back. But he could do nothing, for Yulian confirmed Khadijah's words. Where Yulian had nothing to do with Khadija, it would be a sin if he still wanted to ask Khadijah to stay with him.

’Yes Allah, give your guidance.’ Julian could only surrender to God, as his Lord.

Yulian did not come out of the room, so Abdullah just walked in and confirmed what had just happened. Because Abdullah saw Khadija running with tears.
