Halal Love of the Senior
Time Family

After returning from the mosque, the Emperor went to Adi's house. He wanted to chat with Adi while waiting for Tirta who helped entertain guests at Mother Goddess' house.

Mr. Wijaya and Ms. Hasna arrived there when Azan Asar reverberated. After the Asar prayer, Mother Hasna and Pak Wijaya visited their besan house, along with the Emperor and Tirta who came home because it was late afternoon. Meanwhile, the guests continued to arrive until the time of Magrib.

Pak Wijaya's family and Mother Dewi's family then had dinner together at Mother Dewi's house. They enjoy the company of two families by chatting together. Mr. Wijaya gave some tips about harmony and sunna during Umrah, as well as prayers that must be recited, even though they have memorized and performed manasik before. In addition, Mr. Wijaya also told adab and things that should be done and avoided while in the holy land.

Tonight, Rendra and Dita stay at Adi's house, because Dita wants to stay longer with her father and mother before leaving the country tomorrow. Although it was common to live separately, but this time Dita will go far for approximately 2 weeks, so she wants to be close to both parents. Just like when Mr. Wijaya and Ms. Hasna will perform Hajj. For a few days before the two left, she slept with them even though she was already in first grade High School. But this time, she did not sleep with the two because she was already married, there was no way she would leave Rendra to sleep alone.

Meanwhile, in the house next door, Mother Goddess and Shasha talk together in the family room after Nisa leaves her room to check all her luggage.

"Sha's." Mother Goddess opened the conversation.

"Yes, Ma" said Shasha, turning to the woman who had given birth to her.

"How exactly are you related to the Emperor and Arjuna?" The Mother Goddess gave a probing look to her eldest daughter.

"I have nothing to do with them, Ma" said Shasha.

"But mama see it looks like they have something on you."

"We're just friends, Ma. No more than that." Shasha tried to convince her mother.

"You're the only one who wants to be friends? Do they also want to just be friends with you?"

Shasha shrugged both of her shoulders. "I told them we were just friends, Ma. Their business wants more than friends, I don't know."

"Aren't you feeling the same about any of them?"

"What's this mama talking about? I'd say I just consider them friends."

"What if one day both of them or one of them says they want to be serious with you?"

"I mean, Mama? They proposed to me?"

Mother Goddess is unemployed. "Yes. You guys are grown up. It is worth getting married. It's no longer time to play games with hearts and feelings."

"I told you I didn't want to get married, Ma."

"Then you shouldn't give them hope, Sha."

Shasha's forehead is wrinkled. He felt that he had never given them hope, because all this time he had considered Arjuna and the Emperor to be just ordinary close friends. "I'm not, Ma."

"Juestly with mom. Do you have absolutely no feelings for any of them?" Mother Goddess stared intensely at Shasha.

"Mmmhhh, yes there may be a little, Ma," said Shasha.

"Who's the guy?" urge Mother Goddess.

"Mama wants to know. Let me reassure my heart first, Ma." Shasha still did not want to open up to her mother.

"Why?" This time the Goddess Mother frowned.

"Later on Ma, if everything is clear" Shasha reasoned.

"Mom see they're both good. Everything is working."

"Yes, Ma. If Mas Kai is a cop, Mama already knows. If Mas Juna works out of town, he becomes a tax consultant. Who would you prefer to be with?" Shasha looked at her mother.

The Goddess Mother laughed. "If you say you like one of them, you'll choose him?"

"That could be one consideration anyway, Ma."

"Whoever your choice, mama will always be supportive, Sha."

"Well, who would prefer it to be?" shasha Pinta.

"You cheated huh. Mom asked who you liked better but didn't want to answer. Now you force my mother to answer. If it's not cheating what's it called." Mother Goddess pinched the top of Shasha's nose.

Shasha chuckles. "That's because I'm not sure, Ma. Insha Allah later when Umrah I ask to be given instructions. Mama answered me first, dong." Shasha flinched spoiled on her mother's arm.

"Maybe your opinion is subjective. Since you already know Tirta, you prefer the Emperor. But if you already know Arjuna, maybe it can change," said Mother Goddess.

"Mama knows Adelia too. Mas Juna is Adelia's older cousin, Ma."

"Isn't he? Kok didn't say. Quickly Arjuna looked familiar with Adelia."

"What do you think is different now?" ask Shasha curiously.

The Goddess Mother smiled then shook her head. "Mama has only met Arjuna once, if the Emperor has already met several times. Although Arjuna was Adelia's cousin, but their relationship was certainly not as close as that of Emperor and Tirta."

"Yes, Ma. But I was closer to Mas Juna for a long time, even though I knew Mas Kai first. So I know Mas Juna's nature better."

"Does that mean you chose Arjuna?" ask the Goddess Mother gently.

Shasha shaking. "Kok Mama keep coming to conclusions like that?"

"You said you knew Arjuna better."

"More familiar with his nature does not mean continue to be more like him, right, Ma."

"So you chose the Emperor?" ask the Goddess again.

Shasha laughed at her mother's question again.

"Mama nih pinter if fishing. Tomorrow when I'm sure, Mama's the first one I'll tell. Promise me!" Shasha raised her right hand, index and middle fingers to form the letter V.

The Mother Goddess nodded while smiling at her daughter.

"As you said, you will support whoever your choice is. But remember all must involve God in making decisions, like Rendra and Dita first. Not just because you obey your heart. Every choice has consequences. Mama believes in you, Sha. Mama can only bless and pray for your kindness and happiness."

"Good thanks, Ma." Shasha hugged her mother tightly.

Mother Goddess stroked her daughter's head with great affection. "It's night, it's time for bed. Tomorrow we have to go in the morning."

"Yes, Ma. I also started to get sleepy. Mama's resting too." Shasha broke their embrace.

Mother Goddess nudged. They then got up from the living room sofa heading to their respective rooms to rest.

Bakda Subuh, Pak Wijaya and Ibu Hasna say goodbye to Mother Goddess. They will return to the village. She cried when she hugged her parents. Repeatedly he apologized and asked for blessing to both of them, until Rendra had to calm Dita and hug her tightly.

After his parents returned home, Dita also apologized and gave blessings to Adi and Adelia. They hugged each other until they shed tears of sadness and haru. After that, Dita and Rendra returned to the house of Mother Goddess.

"Mas, why are we the only two upgrading classes? Why aren't the others?" ask Dita when they're on a business class plane.

"It's mama who set it all up, Babu Darling. Let Bubu and Ale not reach and can rest" replied Rendra.

"But it's not fair, Mom. I'm not feeling good. Mom and the others in economy class, we're both in business class" Dita protested.

"Sstttt, if you want to protest later when you go down with mom. The plane's gonna take off this." Rendra fitted Dita's seatbelt after putting her own.

Although still dissatisfied with her husband's answer, Dita closed her mouth while reciting a prayer in her heart.

"It's eaten with the candy so his ears don't hurt and buzz." Rendra bribed the candy he had opened the package to his wife. Dita also according to chewing the candy so even Rendra also chewed the candy that was shared by flight attendants.

Chewing candy when the plane takes off or landing can prevent blockage of the ear canal (tubal occlusion) due to the difference in air pressure in the middle ear with air pressure outside. This blockage of the ear canal can result in ear pain and even dizziness. Actually it is not the candy that prevents it, but the movement of the jaw when chewing the candy that makes the air can come out.

"Here's his hand." Rendra grabbed his wife's hand, making them hold each other's hands. "Have you prayed?"

"Here you go, my mom."

During the flight which took approximately 9 hours and 20 minutes, Dita repeatedly stood and walked in the aisle when feeling sore. Although the seat is looser than economy class, but if you sit for that long it will certainly remain uncomfortable. Fortunately, he also fell asleep after the plane took off.

After arriving at Jeddah's King Abdul Aziz Airport, they went through immigration and baggage processing. The journey then continued to Medina. Upon arriving in Medina, they checked in at the hotel and took a break.

After resting for a while and cleaning themselves, they went to the Nabawi Mosque for the Fajr prayer to pray there. Although it has not entered the dawn time but there are many people there. Some are praying, reciting the Qur'an, or reciting it. Rendra separated from his family because he occupied the male congregation area.

(Nabawi Mosque)

At dawn they move slowly towards Raudah or the Garden of Heaven. Dita was in the middle, she protected Shasha in front, Mother Goddess in her right and Nisa in her left. As pilgrims scramble and jostle each other, they walk carefully, as much as possible preventing collisions with other pilgrims even if it is certain to happen. Dita put her hand in front of the womb to protect her stomach while continuing to recite prayers asking for smoothness and safety.

After waiting in line for some time, they were finally able to set foot in Raudah and got a turn to practice circumcision and pray there. For about 15 minutes they solemnly prayed and prayed in the most mustajab place in the Nabawi Mosque.

(Raudit)

They then made a pilgrimage to the tomb of Prophet Muhammad and his two companions, Abu Bakr Ash-Shiddiq and Umar Bin Khattab, and ended the pilgrimage at the tomb of Baqi. The tomb located in the eastern part of the Nabawi Mosque is the tomb of the companions of the Prophet Muhammad SAW and some of his family. After the pilgrimage, they returned to the hotel for breakfast.

(Baqi Tomb)

Rendra, Ibu Dewi and Shasha perform five prayers at the Nabawi Mosque. They pray, recite and recite the Qur'an there. While Dita accompanied by Nisa only performed Magrib and Isha prayers there.

On the second day in Medina, after dawn, they visited various places in Medina such as the Quba Mosque, Jabal Uhud, Qiblatain Mosque, Khandaq Mosque and in the Date Market.

Quba Mosque is the first mosque built by the Prophet on 8 Rabiul Awal, 1 Hijriyah. It is located about 5 km from the Nabawi Mosque or southeast of the city of Medina.

(Quba Mosque)

Jabal Uhud or Mount Uhud is a place of great war between the Prophet and the Companions with the infidels of Quraysh on 15 Shawwal 3 Hijriyah, known as the Battle of Uhud. At the foot of this mountain there is the funeral of the Companions of the Prophet who died during the Battle of Uhud.

(Jabal Uhud)

Qiblatain Mosque, which was originally named Bani Salamah Mosque, witnessed when the Prophet converted the prayer qibla towards the Ka’bah in Makkah from the one that originally faced Al-Aqsa Mosque in Palestine. Therefore, the typical Qiblatain Mosque has two mihrabs in it, which faces Baitul Maqdis and the Grand Mosque.

(Qiblatain Mosque)

Khandaq Mosque and fort is one of the relics of Prophet Muhammad SAW in Medina. Khandaq means trench. In the history of Islam, Khandaq was the event of digging trenches for the stronghold against the infidels of Quraysh with his allies who besieged Medina.

Their last destination is the date market. In this date market are sold various types of dates. In addition to dates, biscuits made from date base materials are also available here. The Madinah Dates Market is located about 60 meters south of the Nabawi Mosque.

(Date Market)

After shopping for various kinds of dates, they returned to the hotel to rest. Tonight they had to pack, because tomorrow morning they would leave Medina to go to Makkah.

Taken sitting on the bed. He slid his leg which began to look swollen. Fortunately, he bought comfortable sandals before leaving for Umrah.

"Dear, achieve yes." Rendra massaged his wife's legs.

"Yes, Mas. I will not pray in the mosque."

"Yes, it's nothing. Can I pray in the mosque?" Rendra looked into his wife's eyes.

"Of course you can, Mom. Nisa if you want to pray in the mosque is also not a problem. I have nothing in my own room, the important thing is that there's food here."

Since Dita does not experience nausea and raw, indeed the desire to eat increased. The weight of his body that had dropped, began to normal again. Therefore he always provides a healthy snack, which does not contain many calories but is rich in nutrients and fiber. In order to fulfill his desire to eat, he bought several dozen snack bars as provisions.

"Mas, ease the massage. I'm sleepy."

Rendra stopped the massage. He helped Dita lay down on a hotel bed.

"You're being ripped off?" tawar Rendra's.

Dita nudging. "Yes. Where can I sleep without being hugged Mas."

Rendra smile. He then walked around to the side of the empty bed. He threw himself beside the woman he loved so much.
