Tahajud Love
Chapter 59's

Yulian fell silent, thinking about what Tristan said was true as well. The shadow of Khadijah who sometimes massaged his own legs flashed in the eye patch of Yulian.

Without waiting for how the thief continued, Yulian started his car engine and then drove on at medium speed.

“Assalamu'alaikum, Neng.”

Yulian said his greetings after opening the door of her room.

“Thank God, if you've slept.” Yulian reviewed the smile. “See very good even. And I don't want to bother you.”

Yulian stepped her foot into the bathroom. Just want to wash your face, brush your teeth and take water. After that lay down his body and look for the most comfortable position to sleep. He examined Khadijah's body, even hugging Khadijah's body from behind to provide warmth to Khadijah's body, even though that night they had worn a thick blanket covering part of their body.

“Hubby... already home,”

Khadijah blinked his eyes for a moment when he felt his stomach was flattening, none other than Yulian's hands hugging his body. Then Khadijah commented on the smile, he stared fixedly at Yulian's face.

‘Thank you for giving me that love... I love you so much my husband..’ Inner Khadijah.

When Yulian shifted his gaze and changed his sleeping position, Khadija immediately pretended to close his eyes, because he did not want to be surprised if Yulian was looking at his handsome face. If that happens, Khadijah will be ashamed.

“It's three in the morning. I'd better get some water for tahajud.” Yulian broke off after picking up her phone which rang because the alarm from Yulian's phone signaled it was three o'clock.

A kiss was thrown on Khadijah's forehead before Yulian got out of bed. After that he immediately headed to the bathroom to clean his face, brush his teeth and take ablution water. After the ritual in the bathroom, Yulian immediately unfurled his long prayer rug. With a full koko shirt and peci, Yulian did takbir to start the prayer movement.

“Yes Allah... O my Robbi, I ask You again for what happened to the servant, may You expand and magnify the servant for the theft in the servant mini supermarket. And again the servant asks.keep the servant's family wherever they are, when the body can not continue to look after them... when the eyes can not keep watching them and when the oral can not teach them to multiply to say istighfar. Aamiin..”.

Yulian guaranteed the do'a after her hands looked up for protection and a patient heart as the trials came back to her life. Because only to Allah SWT we can complain and ask for what we want. Provided the nature of patience, hard work and do'a, remains the main thing to achieve success.

When Yulian was throwing a do'a, there was a pair of eyes that were staring with sad eyes. There were tears in Khadijah's eyes. And it was as if the tears were ready to fall right then and there, but he kept it from falling. Because he did not want to make Yulian even more sad, only a thousand questions were still buried in his heart.

“I'll sleep again. It feels so sleepy that it hurts me.” Yulian took a position to go back to sleep.

This time Khadijah changed his sleeping position, for fear of being caught by Yulian. Where he stared right at the face of Yulian who was also staring at him. So that Khadija was so warm in every breath of Yulian airs.

‘I don't know what's going on with you, Hubby. And for some reason when you are hurt I am tormented. When you are sad I cry. and when you laugh. There is a sense of happiness stored in the heart.’

‘Yes Allah, is this what the wife calls the rib of the husband? The first time I felt it, despite so many sad times, I still loved it. It is even obligatory for me to remain beside him in sorrow or liking.’

Khadijah looked at the face and eyes that always provided shade for him when he looked into those eyes. Khadijah can not stem the sadness anymore. When remembering that there is a hand that always gives tenderness in every caress for him, there is a hand that is always faithful to wipe his tears.

“One drop..”

“Two drops..”

Tears had been shed in Yulian's hands. And Yulian who had yet to fully venture into the dream world was able to feel those tears. So that Yulian re-opened his eyes to make sure.

When Yulian opened his eyes, he saw that Khadija's eyes were closed, but tears were coming out of her eyes. As Khadijah said, Yulian's hands always faithfully wiped away his tears.

“Hubby knows, Neng is not sleeping, right?” ask Yulian.

Khadijah closed both eyes. However, tears re-wetted her cheeks. He felt unable to look into Yulian's eyes.

“Alright, if Neng does not want to open his eyes and say why crying. But hopefully with this kiss and hug Neng can feel calm.”

Yulian kissed Khadijah on the forehead, then hugged Khadijah's body even though it was difficult when Khadijah was facing him. Again Yulian closed both of her eyes to enter the dream realm again.

And Khadija felt quite calm in the arms of Yulian. And when Khadijah found out that Yulian had fallen asleep, Khadijah tried to break Yulian's embrace by moving his faithful hand over Khadijah's waist. Then he performed the ritual in the bathroom before performing the tahajud prayer.

Mukena in white without many motives have been used Khadijah and stretched is a long prayer as a base to perform tahajud prayers.

‘Yes Allah, I want to always be a faithful wife guarding her heart, guarding her love, keeping her smile and guarding her disgrace. Aamiin..’.

After completing the tahajud prayer, Khadijah continued by reading the mushaf while waiting for the sound of the morning adhan to be echoed.

---------

“Neng, can Hubby ask?” yulian asked while in the car.

That morning Yulian wanted to take Khadijah somewhere, on Sunday. Because Hafizha will go to piano practice accompanied by Abdullah. While Arjuna and Cahaya they will definitely vacation together, the term quality time with their beloved family during work holidays. If you ask Ahtar, he will definitely do outside activities as a photographer.

“Ask what, Hubby?”

“Why did Neng cry last night? What .... Hubby's hands are too tight to bend?”

“Not, Hubby.”

“Then? Just tell me why!”

“Neng .. hear Hubby prayer during tahajud prayer. And Neng felt ... Hubby is hiding something from Neng.”

Khadijah immediately lowered his gaze. Back tears welled up in her eyes. He wanted to immediately dismiss all of that, but Yulian's hands went to Khadijah's chin and slowly raised his overcast face.

To appease Khadijah, Yulian gave her a hug. Khadijah wept roaring in. eight Yulian. He again remembered the feeling that was so complicated when run. However, it is still preferred and maintained if time remains on his side.

“Just say Neng, who knows Hubby can get a solution to Neng's problem. So that Neng does not cry and grieve anymore.”

“ One second..”

“Two seconds..”

“Three seconds..”

“Hubby, Neng felt bad as a wife. When her husband had problems ... Neng didn't know at all...”.

Khadijah's speech stopped immediately, as Yulian's finger perched on Khadijah's lip.

“That's not wrong, Neng. Hubby just didn't want to burden Neng during a big pregnancy like this. Because there's something we have to take care of with him, which is this.” Yulian stroked Khadijah's already growing belly.

Despite that, Khadija still felt sad. He feels useless for a husband, he should be a wife who can help the husband, even if it is just input.

And back Khadijah polled, ”But Neng Hubby's wife, at least Hubby told Neng all that. Not even harboring it yourself.” Yulian smiled faintly.

“Neng, Hubby knows Neng is Hubby's wife. But this is Hubby's obligation to be a household leader. Save whatever burden is being faced... Hubby must be strong to sustain it.”

“God makes a man's shoulder stronger than a woman's. And man is a protector to his woman like the letter An-Nisa' verse 34.”

“Ar-rijalu qawwakina 'alan-nis`i bimala mand'ahum 'alama ba'iw wa bima anfaqain min amwalihim, fa-sali perihatu qanitun 'alfiatul lil-gaibi bima ⁇ afiallh, walla takhinafna nusyzahunna wahunna wahunna wahjurma, fa in ata'nakum fa le tabgakih 'alaihinna sabila, innallatha kana 'aliyyang kabira.”

“That is: Men (husbands) are protectors for women (wives), because God has overestimated some of them (men) over others (women), because, and because they (men) have given a living from his property. So the righteous women are those who obey (to Allah) and keep themselves when (husbands) are not there, because Allah has taken care of (them). The women whom you worry about nusyuz, give them advice, leave them in bed (break the bed), and (if necessary) beat them. But if they obey you, then do not look for reasons to trouble them. Verily, Allah is Most High, Most High.”

Khadijah looked at Yulian's shady eyes which always made him feel comfortable while looking at her. Gives shade and peace to Khadijah in the twinkle of his eyes, and it was also very obvious if Yulian did not want Khadijah to feel burdened or saddened by what had made a considerable loss from his mini supermarket. Although Yulian's money will never run out in the end, but the money in his mini supermarket is mostly the salary for the workers there.

And at that time Yulian told Khadija as it happened. Because still even though Yulian had forbidden Khadija not to come to think about it, but Khadijah's curiosity was too high, so in the end Yulian also told it.

“What if the thief comes back again if Hubby still doesn't report him to the police?”

“Sabar .. that is our main key as His servant. Remember one thing Neng, there is wisdom behind an event. God will not let that happen again. Believe!”

Khadijah. And now a happy laughter had enveloped them when they saw the view of a garden adorned with green grass. In fact, they always take pictures in every moment and view in Meadows Park, Edinburgh.
