1 METER OF FOOT
UNACCUSTOMED

The stomach feels hungry. But his mouth felt so hard for him to open and to swallow something. It was all because of the problem he was facing.

Imran has hurt her a lot. At breakfast like this. Shanum accidentally remembered himself who usually had breakfast with Imran.

Actually, not only Shanum who feel hurt with the problems that are happening. Imran is the same as Shanum. But the heartache Imran felt was not as great as what Shanum felt.

When Imran had finished his bath and was getting ready to go to work to his office. Imran may have forgotten that he divorced Shanum.

"Num! Why haven't you prepared breakfast at this hour?" imran said as he opened the hood of the serving on the dining table.

Imran then woke up. He immediately took a very long breath.

"Astaghfirullah's. I was Shanum's mentality last night."

Imran rubbed his face violently. "On the one hand I still love Shanum very much. On the other hand I've been dying to have a child."

"Have I sinned too much against Shanum, O God?"

Shanum and Imran have never checked or checked at all for their health. Imran believes he is healthy. In his family there is no such thing as barren. So then! When Shanum asked her to see a doctor about their problem. Imran always refused and said that Shanumah was barren.

We all don't know yet. Who is barren between Shanum and Imran. All of that can be discovered later if they already have a partner again.

Imran who did not want to dissolve thought of Shanum so that his heart did not become distraught. He also chose to hurry to work.

Imran is unconscious. If the process of divorce with Shanum has become a byword in the village where he lives.

Does Imran have a father. The answer is that Imran has been dead for a long time. So he only has Mu'idah's mother with his younger sister, Dyah. So loving and upholding the dignity of his mother. Imran until wrongly put the position how to obey the request of the mother for the sake of his life.

From Abu Hurairah radliallahu ‘anhu he said; “A man came to Rasulullah shallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam while saying; “O Prophet, who is the person I have the most right to be devoted to?” he replied: “Ybumu.” He asked again; “Then who?” he replied: “Ybumu.” He asked again; “Then who else?” he replied: “Ybumu.” He asked again; “Then who?” he replied: “Then your father.” [SV. Bukhari no.5971 and Muslim no.2548].

But we as a child. Especially as a boy. Must be able to sort and choose which command is good for us from parents. Especially our mother.

If in the case of Imran who is too obedient to Mu'idah's mother, until he dzalim to Shanum. Of course Imran is a man of sin and he just waits when God will give him a reply.

Back to Shanum again.

Because he didn't want to get sick for the umpteenth time. His heart is injured at the moment. Shanum still forced to eat the food he had bought earlier.

Finish breakfast. Shanum chose to clean the house with the remnants of his energy. While cleaning the house. Shanum intends to divert his mind from Imran and from the problems he is currently facing.

Clean the house alone, even if it is not too big. It makes our body feel tired and tired.

"Smuck my body. What time is it?"

There is no wall clock inside the house. Shanum also chose to check into his phone. An outdated phone, because he does not want to buy a new one by Imran.

"Some with money. Better to save for our future."

"After all, this phone is still good. Not damaged. Still can for everything. Just outdated."

That's the answer Shanum will give Imran. Imran offered to buy him a new phone.

Shanum activated the airplane mode that was inside his phone. Because he doesn't want to be contacted by anyone.

"It turned out to be half-twelve in the afternoon. Very fast" said Shanum.

From inside the room. Shanum heard someone say hello from his front door. Shanum, of course, went straight out of the room to see who was the one who had visited his house. Which turns out to be Laila.

"Wa'alaikumussalam's chat. Uh! Laila! Come on, come on in."

"Sorry, Laila. There is nothing in my house. It's just plain water."

Laila smiled. "I'm not here to ask Shanum for water to drink."

"It! I also came here with the food I had bought. At once the cooking of the mother. He said for you."

Shanum was very happy. "Goddessa. Thank you so much Laila."

"Then I'll take the plate first. We can eat together later."

Laila nodded. Shanum then moved into the kitchen to pick up the cutlery, as well as two glasses of water.

"Oh yes Num! Let's tell me everything soon. Today I am free. I've had my permission with mom. So I can go home as I please. You know I'm here too."

"Emm! I take a shower first. So sultry. Because I was busy cleaning the house" Shanum replied.

"If you want to eat first. Eat it's okay."

"Later. Waiting for you to finish your shower."

Shanum just nodded. He then let Laila take a quick shower and left Laila alone.

Laila is Shanum's childhood friend. So Laila and Shanum were already very familiar. And Laila also used to play to Shanum's grandmother's house, before Shanum married Imran. Before he worked out of town.

Finish shower. Shanum looks fresher and fresher. He who had worn his clean hijab, met Laila in her living room.

"Now you are fresh. Now while eating, let's quickly tell me. Moreover, I don't see Imran mas at all here."

"Well, I'll tell you everything."

Laila nodded and put on her ears well while enjoying the food she brought.

Shanum then tells Laila what really happened to his household with Imran. Not everything Shanum told me. Because he still guards the disgrace of his household.

Although Laila knew Shanum didn't tell her the whole point. But as a woman, Laila can feel what Shanum is feeling right now. Even Laila stopped chewing her food in surprise to hear Shanum's sad story.

"Oh my God, Shanum! What a pity your fate is. May Imran and your mother-in-law be tormented by Allah. Because it has wronged you."

Shanum immediately rebuked the words of his friend. "Hust! Don't pray like that Laila. Not okay. I can turn to you myself."

"Patience to Shanum. May God soon replace the most beautiful and best of these."

"God is not sleeping. Believe that! One day God will have prepared the happiness you have been hoping for."

Laila was very sincere in praying for Shanum. And Laila became resentful of Imran and of Mu'idah's mother. Because it made his childhood best friend sad like that.

Laila also promised to accompany Shanum again until Shanum remarried. Shanum is alone in this world. There was no one else he could share his grievances with.

A good friend. We are friends who can make us enter God's heaven together. Therefore, if we have friends who always remind us of the afterlife. Grab her hand. Don't you let go. Indeed, such a friend is a friend who will accompany you later in heaven.

“No one is given pleasure after Islam, which is better than the pleasure of having a godly (simply) brother. When you find one of your godly friends, hold on tight.” [Quutul Qulub 2/17].
