SHANUM'S SORROW

“Wataqida’ watalmadh ‘aumi gainnahu laysabaynahaa qa baynallaha khijaabu.” (Beware the prayer of the wronged, for there is no hijab (block) between him and Allah )." (Sukhari).

The Messenger of Allah said: “The prayers of the wronged are brought to the clouds, opened to him the gates of heaven, and the Lord said: With My glory and My greatness, I will surely help you, although later.”

This is because when people are wronged whose hearts are broken pray. He prayed in great need, urgency, and humbled himself before God alone, his position weak, he had no help but Allah to break the rope of injustice upon him.

Night with tears and lethargic steps. Shanum kept walking away from the husband's house. Or you could say ex-husband.

"Yes Allah. May You soon replace the pain of the servant with happiness."

Shanum prayed in his heart accompanied by the dark atmosphere of the night.

"The servant is no longer strong, O God, to face all this. Help the servant of Allah. I am sure that You have prepared something much better than this."

This is not a soap opera in flying fish yes guys, which to get the feel there must be a scene of rain falling.

Shanum continued to walk in no direction. And was busy walking accidentally he passed by his neighbor who was going home.

"Shanon! Where are you going these nights?"

"You crying? Imran to where? Did you guys fight?"

The neighbor came down from the top of the bike and approached Shanum.

Shanum smiled super thin. "Shanum wants to go home to grandma's house. I'll know for myself what happened to us. Excuse me."

Shanum chose to go from the front to his two neighbors. But just two steps walk, Shanum prevented by the mothers. "Wait Shanum!"

Shanum of course immediately stopped his footsteps. And he turned his body to face his neighbor.

"You let me take my husband with you. I believe in you."

"Dad! Help Shanum yes. Pity him to walk alone these nights to his grandmother's house. 'Different villages. It's a pity if anything happens to her" the mother told her husband.

Shanum felt bad. "Don't Ma. Thanks though. Let me walk."

"Shanum is okay. You're a good man. I've known you for a long time. It's just that I pity you get in-laws who model so like Mu'idah's mother."

"Go to my husband's motorbike. I'm sure you won't mess with my husband."

With his humility. The neighbor allowed the husband to drive Shanum home.

Shanum clasped the neighbor's hand with gratitude. "Yes Allah. Thanks Mom! Thank you so much for your help."

The neighbor smiled sweetly. "Either. After all, I've considered you as my own sister."

Before riding on the motorcycle owned by her neighbor's husband. Shanum hugged his neighbor with gratitude. After that, Shanum was finally delivered home by the neighbor's husband.

Back to Imran's house again. After Shanum's departure from the house. Imran tries to expel his mother and Linda.

"Imran please. Mom and Linda just go home. Imran wants to be alone."

"You kicked Mom out, Imran?"

"not expel. Please understand Imran's situation for now only Mom!"

Imran replied resignedly. "Yes, Mom."

Mu'idah's mother then took Linda away from Imran's house. At the same time the neighbor who had helped Shanum accidentally saw Mu'idah's mother and Linda who had just come out of the house Imran.

The neighbor went into hiding to see Mu'idah's mother and Linda.

"In a moment, you'll be Mom's daughter-in-law. Mom was so happy. And finally the barren Shanum will be divorced from Imran."

Linda smiled happily. "Yes Mom! Linda was also happy. Finally the man Linda had always liked would soon be Linda's husband."

"Don't forget immediately the mother's love of a grandchild. Don't be like Shanum!" mu'idah's mother said as she continued walking towards her house.

Once Mu'idah and Linda's mother were quite far from Imran's house. The neighbor who was hiding just now came out of hiding while rubbing his chest.

"Astaghfirullah. Turns out this is what made you cry all the way Num. It's very unfortunate your fate."

"May Allah give a chastisement to your tyrannical father-in-law and husband" said the neighbor.

The neighbor immediately continued his walk to return to his home which was not far from the house of Imran.

As for Shanum himself. After a journey of about fifteen minutes. Finally he arrived at the home of the grandmother he had not lived in for a long time.

"Sir! Thanks for the help. Sorry I can't reply. May Allah give bountiful recompense to Father and Mother."

The neighbor answered. "Sama-sama Num's. Then I say go home first. You take care of yourself at home alone like this."

"Yes Sir. Be careful on the road. Give my regards to my father's wife."

"I'll tell you later. Assalamu'alaikum."

"Wa'alaikumussalam."

After that, the neighbor passed away from Shanum's grandmother's house, after delivering Shanum to the destination.

Before entering the house. Shanum said the word greetings first.

“Then when you enter (a house from) houses (this) let you greet (the occupant who means to greet) yourself, a greeting appointed from Allah's side, let you say, who was given the blessing again good.” (QS. An-nour: 61).

Satan or genie who likes to inhabit empty rooms or houses named Dasim. And when we say hello before entering into it. Dasim will say to his friend. "We have nowhere here to settle." Hopefully the short knowledge is useful.

The place that Shanum first went to was his room when he was still living there. He cleaned the room to rest his weary heart.

From that night onwards. Shanum will live there. And will no longer meet with Imran who has accompanied him for several years.

Next day. After the dawn prayer, all Shanum wanted to do was teach and teach, until he fell asleep again until the time showed at eight in the morning.

Shanum woke up because his stomach was hungry. And because there was nothing in the house that he could eat. Shanum also chose to buy enough food with money from his savings so far.

Imran is divorced from Shanum. It spread very quickly in the village. And everyone in the village was very sorry and did not like the attitude of Mu'idah's mother who had damaged her own child's household.
