Hijrahku From Dating
part 52's

Semester holidays begin, for one month. It does not feel like I have continued my studies at UGM for 6 months smoothly. Yes though, my heart broke into pieces because it had 2 ex at once within 6 months.

All the kids at the boarding house I occupied were picked up by their parents. I saw big suitcases on the porch and some of my friends sitting on the porch. There are also some in the living room and some in the room. They've all been dressed up.

Similarly to me, I am still waiting for Papa & Mama who according to the message of Mama in WA, Papa & Mama departed since yesterday afternoon from Bandung. I am so happy today because I miss them so much. But I was worried too. Worried about the terms of Brother Sam yesterday. I was sitting in the living room with some of my roommates. My eyes were blank staring at the vase of flowers on the table. I was tapping on the two novels that were on my lap. Kak Sam's novel he gave me for free, yesterday after the park. The first book is called "Go Hijrah and Move Up!". The other is called "Hijabku Mahkotaku".

"Annisa, why daydream?" asked Brother Rere softly, who was sitting beside me earlier.

"Eh? Ee. ee. ee. no papa koq, sis," I replied.

"Why? Any problem? Dong's story is the same as mine" asked Brother Rere.

"I just broke up with Roy yesterday, brother," I replied.

Tears started to flow down my cheeks.

"I said what too? Don't even have to date. It must have been a heartache" advised Brother Rere.

Brother Rere has always advised me on religion, especially on courtship. Just like Madam Irma. But I always ignored him. But somehow, today it was like there was a sigh of heart to listen to Brother Rere.

"Yesterday, after I sentin Roy through chat, I met the author of this novel, Sis. Samsul 'Abdurrahman," I said, pointing out the name under the novel I was carrying.

"Yes? Continues to? Isn't he also the owner of that big bookstore, huh? Which I often visit if you fit into the caffe," said Kak Rere.

"So you know about Sam? Why didn't you tell me the same thing?" my many.

"What does this have to do with you?" ask Brother Rere.

"Eh yes! Brother doesn't know about this problem yet. So Brother Sam is my cousin's brother. The son of my father's brother. She ran away from home 6 years ago, until Uncle & Aunt took care of me during High School as a cure for their longing for Brother Sam. My uncle and aunt saw me as a child. It turns out that Brother Sam is trying to be independent and successful without the help of parents. At first, I thought Sam was going to be brutal on the streets and his future was ruined. I was wrong, he is successful now. I want to tell Uncle & Aunt about this. But Brother Sam said, the condition is that I should stop dating. I should be able to prove it for a month. I doubt it, Brother. Can I do all that?" I clearly have a loud voice.

Brother Rere is embracing my shoulder.

"I am sure, inshaaAllaah, with the help of Allah, you can! That book, you should read. I have read. And I hope, after you read, in a month we meet at this boarding house, I hope, you have migrated and changed your appearance. Don't you want Sam's brother to be united with his family?" brother Rere said reassuring me.

"Well, that's dong. Don't cry anymore. The spirit!" said Brother Rere while clenching his hands into the air.

"But you know nothing about Brother Sam and Sister Irma? Ms Irma yamg said she once taught you when you were sick?" ask Brother Rere.

"No, Brother. What's wrong with them?" my many.

"Mbak Irma and Sam loved each other in silence. Keep Sam's brother urged to propose to Mbak Irma & ask the address of Irma's parents. But Ms. Irma is not ready for marriage. Every time they accidentally meet, Ms. Irma always avoids Brother Sam. Smpai finally, Ms. Irma stopped being a lecturer at UGM and decided to return to Garut. He said his house was in Garut. Do you know where Ms Irma's address is?" said Brother Rere.

"MaasyaaAllaah, Brother. Irma's my neighbor. Hopefully after returning home, I can be their bridge to bring them together in the marriage bond," I said sparkling.

"Hey! But Ms. Irma is not ready for marriage yet" said Mr. Rere.

"Means I'm just waiting for Madam Irma to get married first, huh? Oo so that's why Miss Irma vacuumed? Though I really want to be taught with Madam Irma on campus," I said scowling, "Eh but, why don't they date in the first place?" my continue.

Brother Rere chuckles.

"Ahaha.. Anna, Annisa. Dating is haram. They both know that. So where could they possibly be dating? Delivering a feeling of not being brave through chat, but through a letter sent to me," said Kak Rere.

.

Shortly after, from the window, Papa's car entered the boarding parking lot. I say goodbye to my friends and get out soon.

"Asalaamu'alaikum's chat. Pa, Ma, Annisa's very upset," my regards while kissing Papa & Mama's hand.

"Wa'alaikumussalaam dear," replied Papa Mama together.

Then I hugged Mama. Tears can't be contained anymore.
