Tahajud Love
Chapter 3

The sky that looked cloudy from this morning finally came down as well. Flirting the city of Edinburgh at once cools Yulian's heart when feeling lonely. Even he felt that Aisyah was beside him like rain was accompanying him on the way home. His heart was so calm that it was filled with peace.

"Abdullah, it looks like someone needs help."

Yulian stared at the side of the road_seen there was a woman standing under the rain. So that makes Yulian feel compassion and want to help the woman by inviting women into her luxury car. Likewise with Abdullah who followed Yulian's orders as his boss. The car stopped when it was on the edge.

"Assalamu'alaikum,"

"Wa'alaikumsalam,"

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to be presumptuous. But you better get in my car. It's not good to be in a heavy rain like this."

"But ...."

The woman stopped her words while looking at Yulian suspiciously and swiped around to make sure. At that moment, Julian felt like he had read the woman's mind. So Yulian immediately said the thing that made the woman feel confident that Yulian had no malicious intentions towards her in the slightest. After feeling confident the woman got into the car and sat on the front bench_near Abdullah.

Degs...

Suddenly the woman's heart throbbed.

"Sorry, where are you going?"

"S .. I .. I myself am still confused to find a place to stay. Because .. I just moved."

The woman replied to Yulian by keeping her head down. Looks so polite _black veil was still attached to his face and covered. Just a pair of eyes that everyone could see. However, Yulian did not want to stare at the woman and even looked at her Yulian did not dare. Because he keeps a woman's chastity, especially when remembering the veiled Aisyah.

"Sorry for the umpteenth time, but .. what if you come with me? Yes ... before you get a definite place to live to be a place to go home."

"But ... nor will I force you to come with me."

Silent....

So it felt silent_seen the woman was thinking after hearing Yulian's offer. Because the woman again felt hesitant when she looked at the innocent face of Hafizha who was still asleep from the rearview mirror. There is pain, doubt and everything else comes together in that woman.

"Don't be afraid! I'm not gonna commit a crime that's gonna hurt you."

”I know. But ... What about your wife? Because I don't want to be labeled as a grabber husband people later.” pekik Khaira.

”You rest easy, my wife will not be jealous.”

"All right! I'll come with you. And once I get a place to stay then, I'll be right away from your house."

"But I'm sorry, may I know your name?"

"My name is Khaira." The woman replied short.

The woman was Khaira who had just moved from a village in Edinburgh. However, when the move he did precisely heavy rain stopped his steps to find shelter comfortably. Until finally that afternoon Khaira was reunited with Yulian who was kind, royal and always polite. I guess ... Khaira was lucky that afternoon.

****

A few hours later they finally reached the residence of Yulian. And the speed of the car that brought the group to a halt while in front of the house and then, Yulian asked Khaira to come down and come in with him. While Abdullah, he still has a task that is, to park the car into the garage.

"I'll take you to the guest room. But first I have to put my daughter to bed."

"Emm...." Khaira nodded slowly.

Khaira remained faithfully standing _waiting for Yulian to come back to him. And soon after Yulian came and walked to show Khaira the guest room. So did Khaira who followed Yulian.

"You can rest in this room. Please!"

Khaira just nodded slowly assuring_understand what Yulian meant. After showing the room, Yulian left Khaira. As for Khaira, he pressed down slowly on the doorknob of the room then, opened it. His heart felt sliced and slashed from the sharp dagger as it swept around the room.

"Thank you, O God!"

Khaira felt cold, until finally he decided to take a bath and change clothes that were not wet from the rush of rain that afternoon. Khaira did not want to linger in the bathroom, because for him it was a prohibition from Allah SWT for His people.

"Thank God,"

Finally the voice of the adhan maghrib had echoed in Khaira's ears. Then, he decided to immediately face the Owner of Power in his dispute. Khusu' Khaira undertook his duty as a Muslim. And at the end of his prayer he did not forget to recite the prayer to ask forgiveness from God for all the sins he had committed during his life in the world.

*****

"Tok .. tok .. tok." Door slowly knocked.

Yulian who heard him furrowed his brows, then he decided to stop his reading and opened the door of his room which had been knocked several times. I don't know who's out there.

"What's up, Abdullah?"

"I'm sorry if I interrupt, but it's dinner time. Because here I'm just reminding."

"Oh, okay Abdullah. Ask Khaira to join us for dinner." A thin smile was engraved on Yulian's lips.

"But...."

The door was shut tightly by Yulian before Abdullah continued his remarks. And only a slow breath could Abdullah do. Then Abdullah left Yulian's room and decided to go to Hafizha's room just to look.

"Uncle, comein!"

"All right!"

Abdullah put on a cheerful face with a smile on his lips, then he obeyed every babble of the little girl. Because before the adhan roared Hafizha was awake and even he prayed when it was time to pray maghrib. That's how Yulian educated and taught Hafizha about Islam, although Hafizha was still too small, but the teachings were actually good when he was young.

****

The scent from the direction of the dining table stung his nose as he inhaled the air coming out from there and the air flashed before Yulian. So that Yulian so enjoy the aroma before seeing how the cuisine looks.

"How fragrant! Can't wait to eat it." Yulian smiled sungging.

A moment of the story between Yulian and Aisha's shadow flashed in wishful thinking. It is still clearly remembered every dish that makes Yulian feel full and full, even though it is simple dishes, namely, vegetable asem and fried tempeh.

"Oh Allah, I send him a prayer for this miss. May you be quiet in heaven, dear."

Yulian's daydream was blown away after hearing laughter from Hafizha's room. And Yulian decided to go there then, taking Hafizha and Abdullah to dinner together. That is how Yulian treats the driver and also the baby sister who takes care of Hafizha_nothing is different in any case especially, food.

”Yulian!” call Abdullah.

”Hmm,” is just an ambiguous answer that Abdullah listened to.

”Why don't you just get married again? Seems ... Khaira is still alone, definitely suits you.” Chirps Abdullah.

”Nothing suits me, because only Ayesha is embedded in this heart. Already, don't discuss silly things like this!”

Yulian left Abdullah and he stepped towards the dining room, and there were already lined up some food dishes without a lid, so the aroma of cooking was very out into the air.

****

"Feed the food!" praise Yulian while at the dinner table.

"Thank God,"

Degs....

Yulian choked, only swallowing his own saliva after hearing a voice he had not previously heard while the voice center was still fighting in the kitchen. It felt like he made sure who the owner of the voice was, but there was a fear if, it was Khaira.
