A week has passed. My feet have stepped back on the earth. A smile rose on my cheek after I found all my roommates chatting on the porch & in the living room. As I saw in the message in the WA group, that they were waiting for me.
.
"Assalaamu'alaikum," my regards.
All eyes are on me.
"Wa'alaikumussalaam" they answered simultaneously.
They stood up and looked at me in disbelief. Brother Rere was silent in front of me. I was silent too. We looked at each other. Silent.
.
"Annisa..." Brother Rere opened his voice.
A happy sad face began to radiate from him. Reflex, I took off the bag I was holding on the floor. My tears are falling. Then, I ran into Brother Rere's arms.
"Alhamdulillaah, maashaaAllaah. You succeeded! Successfully grant Brother's wish" said Brother Rere sobbed.
I can't speak anymore.
"Congratulations Annisa," said Dea.
"May Istiqomah," do'a Ria.
"We're happy to see you like this" said another friend.
One by one, my friends encouraged me. I hugged them alternately in my sobs. Ja. Happy crying.
.
"Annisa, finally our clothes are the same now" said Brother Rere.
I looked at Thea who was behind the crowd of my friends. I approached her and hugged her.
"Sorry Thea. We forgot you were here" I said, rubbing his back.
Thea took off my arms and smiled at me.
"Hey! Gapapa again. We are different, but we can still be together" Thea said cheerfully.
I nodded and returned his smile.
"Bhineka Tunggal Ika. Although different is still one," said Brother Rere as he approached me and Thea.
I wiped my tears.
"Yes, let's go all in. Annisa's bag let me help you with it" said Brother Rere.
All the kids come in. I tore my big bag with Brother Rere up to the room.
"So you've actually moved out of dating?" ask Brother Rere at the door of my room.
"InsyaaAllaah, Brother," I replied.
"Alhamdulillaahafemore. That means you can unite Sam and his family. O yes, I didn't see Papa with your Mama?" ask Brother Rere.
"Aamiin, Brother. Papa same Mama tired earlier, keep renting a hotel here. I was in a taxi. I whined to ask them to sleep in the hotel for 3 days and 3 nights, so they could get a surprise, that they could meet Kak Sam. But I said the reason I asked them for 3 days in Jogja anyway because they still miss Papa Mama, let them not suspect, hehe," I replied.
"Oh, yeah. I'm going to the toilet first, yeah. You rest first. Must be tired" said Brother Rere.
I'm nodding. Brother Rere passed from before me.
"Wait, Brother!" my prevent.
Brother Rere stopped, then turned around.
"What else?" ask Brother Rere.
"Can I convince Sam if I'm not dating anymore?" my many.

Wh-tok-tok!
"Assalaamu'alaikum," said my greeting while tapping on the bookshop of Kak Sam who was still closed.
The clock shows at 05.30 WIB. It's still early morning.
"Wa'alaikumussalaam" replied Brother Sam as he opened the door.
Brother Sam rubbed his eyes, a sign that he was still sleepy.
"MaashaaAllaah! It's so beautiful" said Brother Sam who then dumbstruck.
"Astaghfirullaah," said Brother Sam turning his gaze to the floor.
"What did I say?" muttered.
.
I'm coming down.
"Sir, alhamdulillaah Annisa has emigrated. Annisa is no longer dating. I believe you, don't I?" I said directly to the purpose of my arrival.
"With your current appearance, fifty percent of you believe it" said Brother Sam.
"Mmm.." I muttered while thinking, "Sister can see Annisa's HP. Chat WA Annisa & all accounts sosmed Annisa as evidence," I said while thrusting HP in front of Kak Sam.
Hope Brother Sam receives my hijrah.
Brother Sam took the HP from my hand while keeping it from touching each other. Then, check the HP that I did not give you a password or any pattern. In about 15 minutes, Sam returned my phone.
"Where, brother?" my many.
"Fifty percent of all your sosmed accounts, I believe. So one hundred percent, you have migrated" replied Brother Sam.
I'm gaping wide.
"You can tell Papa Mama" continued Brother Sam to wake me up.
I'll blow my mouth again.
"Alhamdulillaah yaa Allaah," I said then faced the body to the right side, which is the direction of the qibla and I bowed in gratitude on the floor.
A few seconds later, I stood up again and walked away.
"Wait!" prevent Brother Sam.
Stalled steps. I turned my body.
"Yes, Brother. Oh, I forgot. Thank you very much, brother," I said as I looked at the floor.
"Do you want to go for a month? If so, it means your hijrah is not because of Allah, but because of Brother," said Brother Sam.
"InshaaAllaah Annisa will continue this hijrah because of Allah. Annisa doesn't want to date anymore. Four exes have taught Annisa heartache & Annisa won't repeat it again" I replied.
"Alhamdulillaahafemore. Hopefully istiqomah. May your clothes stay that way and never fuss over Brother" said Sam.
"Aamiinu. InsyaaAllaah Brother," I said.
Then I walked away with a happy feeling. A feeling that cannot be described by words. I stepped towards the campus in this shar'i outfit.
