Story of Mbah Bardan Saving His Whole Life to Go on Hajj Together, But When It's Time to Depart, His Wife Has Passed Away

Dream - Some people have to struggle hard to save until old age to get the opportunity to go on a pilgrimage. When that waiting comes, a pilgrim will feel an unimaginable happiness because they can set foot in the house of Allah to fulfill the fifth pillar of Islam. That happiness is also felt by Mbah Bardan, a pilgrim from North Lampung who is part of the flying group (kloter) 10 Embarkation Jakarta - Pondok Gede (JKG-10). The 92-year-old man could not contain his happiness when he could arrive in the Holy Land.

His smile was so radiant as the officer escorted him with a wheelchair. However, little did anyone know, behind that happiness lay sadness in the depths of my heart, Mbah Bardan. Upon arriving in the City of Nabawi, his heart held a deep longing for his beloved wife.

"Already saved together for Hajj, and after that, my wife left me."
The following is the translation of the given 'Bahasa' text to 'English' while preserving any html tags: "words from Mbah Bardan to the officers at Amir Muhammad Bin Abdul Aziz Airport (AMAA) in Madinah, quoted from the Kemenag website, Thursday, May 16, 2024."

"Mbah Bardan tells a story, since long ago he intended to perform the Hajj pilgrimage together with his wife. He tried to realize that dream by saving his own hard-earned money. Mbah Bardan, who earns rupiah as a construction worker, has registered for the Hajj pilgrimage since 2013."

"Although they have saved and registered, Allah's fate said otherwise. Their hope of going on Hajj together with their spouse did not come true. Because, the spouse had already met the Divine first. "However, before the time for Hajj arrived, my spouse left me forever," said Mbah Bardan with teary eyes."

"Mbah Bardan admits to loving his soulmate deeply. In fact, he has prepared a resting place next to his wife. 'Oh my dear, I have already prepared a final resting place next to me,' he said."

The man born in Yogyakarta also reminisces about the beginning of falling in love with his wife. Like the saying, love exists because of familiarity, that's the story of Mbah Bardan's love. "The beginning of me knowing my wife, because we used to study together, and then we fell in love," he said. Although he cannot perform the Hajj pilgrimage with his wife, Mbah Bardan, who is now in the holy land, always prays to be able to enter paradise together with his beloved wife.

"No problem, I have arrived here, I pray for my wife to enter heaven, so that she and I can be together in heaven,"
ujarnya. (He said.)

"At his old age, Mbah Bardan still has the spirit to perform the series of Hajj despite having to use a wheelchair. He is optimistic that he is in good condition. 'I can walk on my own,' he said while trying to stand up but prevented by the officers."
