Tahajud Love
Chapter 32's

Arriving at the hotel Khadijah sitting on a mattress. Slowly his hands moved to massage his feet slowly which felt sore after a day trip. Glad indeed he felt even a shadow about Yulian that always made him laugh freely dancing in his eye sockets. Every now and then Khadija smiled, without realizing it a pair of sharp eyes had noticed him from earlier.

’Yes God, seeing her smile like that somehow my heart feels at peace. And please grow that love in this heart, Yulian's inner’.

Yulian approached Khadijah who was still massaging her legs. Then Yulian moved his hand and did a slow massage on Khadijah's leg.

”Which one, still feels sore? Let me pijitin.” Sontak Khadijah was shocked when Yulian's hand touched his leg.

Khadija pulled his leg and covered it with a long robe that he was wearing. This made Yulian laugh but not make a sound.

”Why? Are you still awkward to come into contact with me?”

Khadija fell silent and lowered his gaze. Still feeling embarrassed and unwell.

”What if it still hasn't made you feel comfortable by my side. I will not force. But I feel sure that in your heart there is love for me. I love you, Humaira ku.”

Khadijah raised his face, then by himself the lips returned the expression of love Yulian.

”Ahabbatalladzi ahbabtani lahu.” At once Yulian pulled the two ends of his lips perfectly after hearing Khadijah's words in return for the expression of his heart.

Night has asked them to immediately rest a body that feels tired. Khadijah first laid his body on the bed, without compromising his manners Yulian asked Khadijah for permission to respect Khadijah as his wife.

”Can I ... sleep next to you? But if not allowed, I will sleep on the sofa.”

”Bby, please!”

”Will there be any more delimiter?”

”So Hubby only,”

”If it's up to me .. am I free to hug you like yesterday night?”

Khadijah rounded his eyes perfectly, digesting what Yulian had said. Whether it was just a word or Yulian did want to do it. And that made Khadijah unable to say anything more, other than to agree. Because he knows very well how the husband and wife relationship is created and built. However, if Yulian asked to serve him that night, Khadija would absolutely reject him, not that Khadija wanted to commit a sin, but that Khadija was not ready to surrender himself to Julian completely.

”Alright, then sleep in my arms. And ... allow me to open your veil, it is not good for a wife to wear a veil while sleeping with her husband.”

Again Khadijah nodded, giving permission to Yulian keoada to open the veil that always covered his aurat. With a pounding so tight, Yulian felt Khadijah's hijab behind to find the veil strap and then remove it. So did Khadijah, who felt the same way as Yulian. His heart beats, as if ready to go bsgutu only. Especially when Khadijah felt the breath of Yulian with such a close distance. Makes Khadijah's heart feel miserable in there.

”Beauty,”

One word that was ejected from Yulian's lips successfully made Khadijah's cheeks reddened. And he lowered his face to hide his embarrassment. However, Yulian's fingertips stuck to Khadijah's chin and then raised a radiant and beautiful face without excessive makeup polish.

”Don't be shy like that when in front of your Hubby. Remember, we are already SAH to be husband and wife in the eyes of religion and country. Not just the status of the canned.” Khadijah chuckled at Yulian's words, and it made Yulian fixated in his gaze.

’Yes Allah ... She's so pretty. Angel of thy heaven.’ Inner Yulian.

”Come to sleep! Lie down, I'll hug you from behind. And I'll read Ar-Rahman's letter to you as a sleep deliveryman.”

In one third of the night Khadijah awoke, because he wanted to perform tahajud prayers. Before getting out of bed, Khadijah slowly moved Yulian's hand around her waist. Because Khadijah did not want to wake Yulian's sleep that looked so sound. Khadija breathed a sigh of relief as she removed Yulian's hand from her waist, but soon Yulian woke up after hearing her phone ring.

’So, in vain also I've taken off his embrace. Intention not to make him wake up, even He who makes an alarm at this hour.’ Inner Khadijah.

Khadijah commented on the faint smile when Yulian woke up and opened his eyes. Then, Yulian voiced out her voice.

”You pray tahajud?”

Khadijah nodded, confirming Yulian's question.

”Ya already, we just congregate.” Back Khadijah nodded. Then they took turns to the bathroom.

After feeling ready to do two night rakaat, Khadija and Yulian unfurled prayer rugs. With as special' maybe they perform the worship of the sunnah of the Rosulullah. As usual, they do the second circumcision after the end of the atachyat.

”You continue to sleep or read mushaf first?”

”Emm... would you like Hubby how? If Hubby is sleepy better go to sleep, read his mushaf tomorrow morning after morning prayers.”

”As far as you go, Humaira's Hubby Yulian.”

”How ... if you continue to sleep? It's still sleepy.” Khadijah.

”Alright!”

Yulian gently rubbed the top of Khadijah's head. Then they went back to bed to continue their journey in the dream world.

’Say that Khadija feels comfortable and warm being held by Yulian, right.’ Writers also feel jealous and envious tauukkk. And just ask for one guy like Yulian. Wkwkwk.

Like what they had planned before, read the mushaf after performing dawn prayers. Julian sought to do his duty as a husband, educating his wife to obtain his paradise.

”How are your plans for today? Want to continue walking, go somewhere or ..”

”Meet Hafizha.” Sahut Khadijah with spirit.

”Means ... home?”

”Serah, the important thing is we meet with Hafizha. What ... Hubby mind?”

”Actually no, but .. if we are with Hafizha we will not find love and closeness. But yes ... It's up to you, if that's your wish, I don't mind.”

There is a sense of unease in Khadijah when Yulian expresses his desire to be close and instill love in the relationship between them at this time. Thus making Khadija undo his intention to meet with Hafizha. And finally they again enjoy the holiday, aka the honeymoon period. Although it is still around the city of Edinburgh, it is okay for them as long as they can both. And they chose the Royal Mile as the place they visited in the second heart after their wedding.

...Notes: Ahabbatalladzi ahbabtani lahu, which means ”May God love you and it is He who makes you love me, because of Him.”...

It really makes the reader join the baper with the persistence of Yulian conquer the heart of Khadijah. Patience, that is what is implanted in the heart of Yulian to understand how Khadija and its ins and outs.
