In My Hijrah
AMARAH UMI ALIYA'S

"blug blug blug," the sound of a pillow being struck onto Alwan's body.

"Alwaaaan ! Let's wake up already noon, you want to be what the hell this hour is still sleeping.

every day instead of making progress even make Umi the same Abi more difficult "squeak Umi Aliya furiously

"WAKE UP, COME ON BANGUUUUN !" screech Umi Aliya while pulling Alwan's ear.

"if you don't wake up, Umi flush you use hot water" said Umi Aliya who was upset

"oh, du du duh. aching Umi, yes yes Alwan wake up." said Alwan. while rushing up from the mattress, while rubbing his earlobe that feels pain.

" Umi is surprised by you ! Every night his work is staying up. The sun is on the crown you just wake up. when the hell do you want to make parents happy, reduce the burden of Umi's mind with Abi!

just wake up must be built every day." said Umi Aliya.

so upset! to the point that Umi Aliya's index finger floated towards Alwan's head beside his forehead.

"as a sister you should be able to set a good example, so a good role model for your brothers and sisters.

I want to see when you stay like this ! what is the use of Umi as Abi sent you to school, enter you to Pondok Pesantren?

instead of studying in the cottage in earnest, you even stopped in the middle of the road.

If only you could be patient to last longer, maybe now you already have a permanent job.at least you can join teaching as an honorary teacher there" said Umi Aliya.

Umi expressed all his complaints, considering the failure of Alwan who stopped studying at Pondok Pesantren a few years ago.

Alwan was silent in confusion, all he could do was hug the pillow that Umi had used to open it. Although still in his drowsiness, Alwan realized, there was a sense of guilt that knocked his mind.

"Same Umi Abi sent you to educate you, so you have a better life guide in the future.

Great hope Umi and Abi against you to be a successful person, a useful person, thankfully you can lift the degree of glory of Umi with Abi.

if you continue like this, how will you have a family !

do you want to feed your wife what children will.?" ask Umi Alia.

feeling annoyed because he continued to be scolded by Umi repeatedly, Alwan spoke up hesitantly.

"Yes, Umi rice. stone meal time." Alwan chirped in a soft tone.

"SAND !" umi terperanga

"Where'd you say rice ?" Ask Umi Aliya in a high tone

"If your work every day lazily continues like this, indeed rice can come to you. Planting rice is not, the work is not, where will it come from? Down from the sky ?" screeched Umi Aliya while looking at Alwan sharply.

Alwan pensively made no sound.

"No rice! Any woman will not want to be close to you, if you are unemployed and lazy continue like that." advises Umi Aliya.

Alwan is getting late in the dilemma, hearing Umi's true advice and words.

"You heard Umi's words well!"

"God created the Universe and the Universe and their contents, as well as their beings.

What is the business of a soul mate, Allah knows best and what is not good.

if you want to have a good and godly Spouse (wife), Have a decent Life, a good future, you have to look at yourself.

Have you become the best ? is that speed already in you?" umi Aliya asked Alwan.

"that which gives good steadiness in life is not your confession, nor the words of others.

but your own circumstances and habits, with your true reality." Umi Aliya.

"From tomorrow, try to wake up at dawn.

if you can before the cock crows you should be awake.

tahajud prayer, Hajj, dawn prayer, and prayer." advised Umi Aliya while sitting next to Alwan.

Umi Aliya tried to lower her tension (tone speaking), slowly breathing while rubbing her chest.

"Umi hope soon you can get a job that can wipe your sweat, which does not interfere with your worship. You have to be a lot of bordo'a and work hard in earnest, before regrets come at a slow time.

...Be an authoritative king. The reigning king, ruling in adab, science, and religion....

...Any empress Niscahya will come to you, Without you asking her, Without you having to painstakingly look for her....

Remember the message Umi !" umi Aliya said with great hope.

" Umi's sorry, for snapping at you!" said Umi Aliya with regret after her emotions dimmed.

"iya Umi, Alwan maafin" Alwan said in a flat tone.

while gluing his teeth, Alwan was determined to change his bad habits.

chasing after what he had left behind, which he had forgotten.

"quick there? you take a shower. afterwards take Umi to the market" said Umi Aliya while putting a towel next to Alwan.

"iya Umi" said Alwan.

***

Alwan Asihab.com commonly called Alwan.he was the first of three children, his first brother named Amira khoirunisa, and his second brother named Fakih Alwasyi.

Alwan graduated SMK, majored in office administration five years ago.

he did not continue his studies due to the cost constraints, although he wanted to continue to the high University, Umi and Abi did not provide the ability.

Umi and Abi can only give her advice that she work first, to help with her siblings' school fees.

But, it only applies as advice and advice.

Even so, once in a while he could help Umi and Abinya to take care of the fields.

The plan that afternoon he will take Umi to the market, after he finished bathing. And after breakfast, he immediately turned on the bike in the front yard.

****

"Yuri ? Come... Alwan is ready." cried Alwan.

"awhile, Umi locks the door first" said Umi Aliya while locking the door.

After Umi Aliya locked the door, Umi kept the key inside the old shoes, which were already unused.

when Alwan's brothers came home, they already knew where Umi usually kept the door lock, every time Umi traveled.

Umi Aliya never left the keys to the house to the neighbors, because her neighbors had gone early in the morning to take care of the fields and rice fields.

while Abi (Dad), went to be a building porters in the city. Once a month, and coincidentally just last week Abinya Alwan left.

"Come on!" bring Alwan.

"patience. Bismilbornrahman nirrahim" said Umi Aliya, when going on a motorcycle.

Along the way Alwan chatted with Umi, connecting the nagging Umi this morning.when the two crossed Pondok Pesantren, seen some Ukhti (female santri) who Ayu-ayu.

who was cleaning the front yard of the Ponpes.

Alwan smiled enjoying the aura of coolness that was visible, until he did not realize that Umi was watching him from the mirror.

"e'ehem ahem"

Umi Aliya deliberately cleared her throat, smiling

"That's why Al saw you succeed?

have a beautiful wife, smart to teach, can help Umi cook, surely Umi same Abi happy if have a daughter-in-law like that, what else if later have a grandchild." Umi Aliya

Instantly Umi Aliya's words pierced the recesses of Alwan's heart, making the smile that developed on his lips slowly fade away.

"Sorry Umi ! Maafin Alwan, Alwan has not been able to divide Umi with Abi" said Alwan in his heart, with tears coming out of the corner of his eyes.

"Umi ! " call Alwan while wiping his tears

"yes, why Al?" umi sahut.

"can't you, Alwan asked you something ?" connect Alwan

"can you ask what ?" Umi asked again, frowning with curiosity.

"What to buy into the market ? tumben during the day like this. is not it the vegetable market most mornings ?" ask Alwan.

"Oh, Umi thinks you want to ask what you want to do." replied Umi Aliya.

"does Umi think Alwan want to ask what ? About the prospective ghosts, so ! " ask Alwan.

"Yaaa. thought Umi so, hi hi hi" said Umi Aliya while closing her smile.

"Miss..! for now, Alwan does not want to be more confident with Umi and Abi.

After all, getting married does not cost a little, at least make a proposal, kabul ijab, dowry, also make the cost of daily living after marriage.

For now Alwan is not so interested in discussing prospective wives and marriages, more precisely there is not yet" said Alwan

"what's wrong?" asked Umi Aliya in surprise.

"emmmm yes, there is no Umi savings" said Alwan mengeles.

"Yes, Umi also understands" said Umi Aliya.

"almost flabbergasted" whispered Alwan inwardly, puffing his mouth.

"What are you going to buy into the market?" Alwan repeated the question he had just asked.

"Umi to the market want to sell Umi savings, to the grocery store" replied Umi Aliya.

"indeed Abi's salary yesterday is up, huh Umi ? Isn't it enough to risk our eating until Abi transfers again ?" ask Alwan.

"insyaallah is enough" replied Umi Aliya with a smile.

"continue, Umi want to sell Umi jewelry for what ?" Alwan could not stop not to ask, until Umi Aliya explained the reason.

"create the added cost of your sister's school.

pay for the Amira National Examination, and the Semester Final Examination is free.

Not to mention that Umi had to pay the SPP arrears last year, pay the school separation Administration and redeem the diploma later. Earlier this year there were a lot of expenses, if only relying on Abi's salary alone would not be enough, you know the salary of Abi in the project is not how much.? " said Umi Aliya

Alwan fell silent, he did not expect for such a huge need ? Umi Aliya is always trying and trying to suffice, no matter how.

***

As Alwan waits for Umi in the parking lot, Alwan sinks back into his own mind.

He tried to think as hard as possible, thinking about how to help reduce the burden of Umi Aliya, especially to overcome the economic crisis that is afflicting his family today.
