Tahajud Love
Chapter 9's

The long-awaited event has arrived. All the rooms have been decorated with beautiful trinkets nuanced princess king. Not spared also with frozen decorated balloons, cartoon cinema that many little girls like. Likewise with Hafizha who uses a frozen picture. Looks graceful with a hijab that is always attached to her head.

”Abi's son is beautiful. Now play first same bik Inem ya!” Yulian.

Yulian rubbed Hafizha's head gently before Hafizha escaped from her arms. After that, Yulian moved from her most comfortable position and headed to the room to clean the body and change clothes.

Yulian was happy at heart, because all her children were gathered in happy shades. Arjuna and Cahaya attend Hafizha's third birthday. Not only them, but Ahtar also came to Edinburgh and will live some hearts there.

”How Arumi, can it start?” ask Yulian to make sure.

Arumi the mangosteen to give an answer to Yulian. And not long after that the event began with a basmalah speech. Then, one by one the series of events have been done with a happy atmosphere. And on the sidelines of that happiness Arumi was talking about important things with Ahtar.

”How, Mama Arumi? Is it true if the woman ... Mother Khadijah?”

”Mama thinks it's true, Ahtar. But ... Mama has not been able to determine who the woman is. And now ... Mama is investigating.” Ahtar sighed softly, there was a sense of sadness in his mind.

”Don't be sad like that! We will keep trying to find him. And one more thing .. convince your Abi to accept Khadijah.” Tristan patted Ahtar on the shoulder. It was hard for Ahtar himself to convince Yulian to marry again. Especially with Khadijah, Hafizha's biological mother.

Ahtar confirmed Tristan's request with a slow nod. After the hidden conversation was done now they scattered back and entered into the laughter of the party that was still going on.

The day had changed by afternoon, the party that had been done was now over. All the makeup decorators have been busy packing back their belongings. Hafizha has also changed clothes with those commonly worn while inside the house. While the elders were chatting in the living room with Ahtar, Arjuna and Light. While Tristan and Arumi's children were not present at the event, because he had to carry out his duties as a teacher.

”Ahtar, how many semesters have you entered?” ask Tristan.

”Emm ... Already to four, Om. Soon pass and ready to become a doctor.” Laughter was heard from inside the room.

Conversation after conversation has made them more familiar in family relationships. And the latter conversation had left Yulian speechless without budging from his place, sitting on the sofa. Every word Ahtar made Yulian unable to do anything and could only listen. Although in his heart he harbored anger, but it was impossible if he would just forget about it.

”Bi, can't Abi marry again?” ask Ahtar with caution.

”Cannot. Umi you are only one, Umi Aisyah. And there's nothing else but Dia.” Everyone let out a sigh, disappointed by Yulian's always equal answer.

”Lalu ... how about Hafizha, Bi? She is still too small, still desperately in need of affection from the figure of the mother .. especially mother Khadijah.” Yulian stared intently at Ahtar upon hearing the name Khadija had called.

But ... Yulian just kept quiet with a long look then distracted. And in silence, Ahtar unceasingly cornered Yulian. It is as if the second marriage should be carried out in order to maintain love for Hafizha.

”Ahtar knows, Ahtar could not be more deeply meddling in Abi's personal affairs. But this is all for the sake of Hafizha, the less fortunate little girl. Since childhood Hafizha has been abandoned by her biological mother with all compulsion, in order to maintain the integrity of the household Abi and Umi.”

”Maybe it is true, Ahtar and Kak Juna only have one mother. But not with Hafizha, because her biological mother is still alive.” Yulian was shocked after hearing Ahtar's words filled with emphasis.

Yulian's heart immediately rumbled, there was a blaze that seemed to want to master it and there was another good side, who wanted to stop his anger. And Yulian felt that now he had to temper his anger, so he decided to just walk away from them, especially Ahtar.

Ahtar sighed again after Yulian's departure. Sometimes he said istighfar, because it made Yulian feel angry over every speech that was not polite. But ... how else, if not like that then Yulian will never understand his own feelings that still need a companion.

The car had been driven at moderate speed by Abdullah, as Yulian's personal driver. And once in a while Abdullah asked Yulian where he was going. But, Yulian simply said continue .. without a definite purpose. Thus making Abdullah upset over Yulian's ambiguous attitude.

”Why stop, Abdullah? Didn't I ask you to keep going.” Abdullah looked at Yulian from the rearview mirror.

”Look at you now, Yulian! How foolish you have been overpowered by the whispers of Satan. Don't realize yourself if ... you have wavered?”

”What do you mean, Abdullah?”

”You still haven't noticed, huh?”

Abdullah really did not think that Yulian could be overpowered by demonic whispers that made it difficult to hold back the anger that rumbled in his heart. And the car, which they had driven, would never go until Abdullah was convinced that Yulian had understood his mistake.

Yulian fell silent in his silence. It was as if he was thinking what made Abdullah so angry with him. Yulian felt he had done nothing wrong to Abdullah. Feeling a dead end in thought, Yulian opened the windshield to breathe the air out there.

”Masjid?”

”Iya, it is a Mosque. Just realize if we stopped in front of the Mosque, Yulian?”

”Astaghfirullah psalm, has my anger blinded my eyes, O Allah?”

Julian felt so stupid as a Muslim. Only then was he really angry at the words that had come from Ahtar, his son. After realizing his mistake, Yulian asked Abdullah for permission to perform the Ashar prayer first. It is not only Yulian who wants to perform the Ashar prayer, as well as Abdullah. Abdullah followed Yulian from behind.

The four rakaat prayers have also been carried out in congregation. Yulian and Abdullah were so fervent about following the imam. After the prayer, they did not immediately leave the mosque which now makes Yulian feel comfortable and reluctant to leave him immediately.

Julian took the scriptures and read some verses. As for Abdullah, he has not stopped his dhikr. Such is their life if there is no other activity, spending time just to multiply the worship charity as a provision in the afterlife.
