”Why not wait for Abi earlier? What time is your flight, Ahtar? If you can Abi will be immediately to the airport.”
”It's still about fifteen minutes anyway, Bi. Sorry, Ahtar just did not want to disturb the break time Abi.”
Saying the call was over and Yulian asked Abdullah to head to the airport immediately. But when the car was about to be done suddenly there was a woman standing in front of her car while stretching her hands.
”Khadija?”
”Iya Yulian, that's right Khadijah. But ... what is it doing there?”
”Entaih! I'll come down to see him, you just wait here.” Abdullah's view echoes the footsteps of Yulian who approached Khadijah.
Yulian drove down her car with an umbrella to protect herself from the rain. Under the same umbrella, Yulian and Khadijah faced each other. For a moment the gaze locked onto them, only the eyes and heart were able to speak at that moment. Even if the lips say no, a thousand times the heart will say yes to each other.
”What are you doing here not carrying an umbrella, Khadijah? Don't act stupid, it'll make you sick. Come back in .. I'll take you.” Yulian stared intently at Khadijah.
”If you knew this would make you sick, then what did you do earlier? Stupid, Yulian. If you can act stupid, why can't I? I want to come with you to the airport, because there is something I want to say to Ahtar.”
”I beg you, let me come with you! Take it easy, I will bring Rahma .. so that we will not cause any slander.”
Yulian finally nodded slowly and agreed to Khadijah's request. And immediately they got into the car. Then, the car was driven at high speed. Because heavy rain makes the streets will not make them stuck in traffic. They arrived at the airport and took about twenty minutes.
Yulian barged through the passersby inside the airport to quickly find Ahtar's whereabouts. And finally they met before there was a late word between them.
”Abi apologizes, because Abi has been too selfish with you. Abi ... will immediately apply to Khadijah. Restui is Abi's decision, Ahtar.” Ahtar nodded excitedly and the two ends of his lips he pulled to review the perfect smile.
”Never waste time that will just go away, Bi. If Abi has good intentions, Allah SWT will help Abi. Don't forget to always skyline the do'a at the end of the night, Bi.”
”Ready! Abi will try to keep time very well.”
After Yulian broke his embrace with Ahtar, Khadijah's figure had stood behind Yulian in a wet shirt. It also made Ahtar avert his eyes and look at Khadijah with question marks. And with happiness that momentarily stopped in his heart, Ahtar approached Khadijah who was still silent fixated on the same position.
"Ahtar happy because ... Mother Khadijah has been willing to meet me before leaving for Korea. Thank you, for your attention to Abi.”
Khadijah embraced Ahtar like his own son. However, it is not an obligation for those who are in contact without a bond. It would even be a sin if Khadijah cried in the arms of Ahtar. Only a few words could be said by Khadijah as a sign of his love for Ahtar who was already considered as his own son.
”Mother has read it and Mommy .. says a lot of gratitude to you, Ahtar. Because all this time ... you are able to keep your letter and promise to Aisyah.”
”It is my duty to fulfill that promise, Mother. One that still makes Ahtar's heart feel unsettled .. because Ahtar is afraid if ... Mommy will reject Abi's proposal later.” Khadijah was overwhelmed by what Ahtar had just said.
Khadijah immediately dismissed the happiness that momentarily stopped in his heart. Because he did not want to soar too high if Yulian would indeed submit a proposal for him. It would have been impossible for Khadijah if Yulian would have done so sincerely.
”Ahtar to go first. You guys be careful here. And Abi, don't make the same mistake.” Yulian nodded. Laku gave a moment's hug before Ahtar got into the fuselage.
”Ahtar, you be careful while there. Mother ... will notify you after that happens.” Ahtar nodded slowly.
Ahtar's footsteps entered the fuselage. And Ahtar took a seat according to his number. Then the plane went up to the top. As for Yulian, he suddenly felt dizzy again. Because the rain water took too long to fill his body.
”Huaacih.. hiaacihh..”.
Khadijah suddenly felt dizzy and his nose sneezed several times. Perhaps it was because rain water momentarily soaked his body. So that the flu hit both, even Yulian and Khadijah both had a fever. So Abdullah decided to bring them home to rest.
”Yulian, should we return to Khadijah's house? Or do we rest in a hotel?”
”It would not be nice to feel like I have to go back to Khadijah's house, Abdullah. You better stop the car after you find a decent hotel.”
The work was done very well by Abdullah. And the rain on the increasingly dissolved night had subsided. Now only a strong gust of wind pierced everyone's body while out there.
A few minutes later, Yulian's engine stopped in front of a nearby hotel. And Abdullah had to take care of the registration first before heading to their room to immediately lay down a body that felt tired.
”Excuse me, Ma'am!”
”Yes, can I help you, Sir?”
”Begini Mbak, I need two rooms for tonight. Is there still?”
”Shortly yes Sir, I will look for it first.” Abdullah nodded as well.
While the cashier was still researching the empty guest and room, suddenly Yulian approached her with an uncharacteristic gaze.
"Abdullah, I would like to ask you for help after taking care of the room for us. Please buy me a loose dress for Khadijah, I think .. her shirt is wet.”
”Ah yes, alright! But ... should I also buy her underwear?”
The blow from Yulian to Abdullah's shoulder immediately drifted after Abdullah's whisper so screeched his ear. Shame was clearly felt by Yulian, because it was also impossible if he would ask Abdullah to buy Khadijah underwear. However, after being felt wearing in Khadija must be wet, after the rain has flushed for a moment.
”Sorry excuse me, Sir! I'd like to inform you that the rooms in this hotel are one room away. How?”
Immediately felt shocked after Khadijah and others including Yulian had heard a hotel supervisor say that there was only one room in the hotel that night. However, if they refused, it would be further to return to Khadijah's house. Likewise with the house of Yulian, it will be further away if you go there. I don't know! Let's see how the writers turn their hearts around.
