A Wounded Life

A Wounded Life
Chapter 24


I drove a car and headed to a mosque for a short break


Because in a few minutes the azan will be on me soon


Me, Dira, and Irene changed our work clothes with clothes that we always bring where to pray


After changing our clothes, the three of us ablaze and right after we finish ablution in the azan


We took the face that was in the closet in the corner of the mosque room and put it on


Waiting for a moment until Azan is finished while thinking


It appears that some residents began to arrive to perform the Maghrib prayer congregation


There were even some mothers who greeted us with smiles and I replied with a smile


We stood up and prepared to be ready because the prayers would start soon


"Allahu Akbar"


A few minutes later the prayer was finished


"Assalamualaikum warroh matullah"


After the greetings the three of us shook hands with some of the mother's mothers even though we did not know each other but we tried to be as friendly as possible


After the prayer I offered a prayer to the almighty hoping to be granted


Hoping that the household I was living with polygamy would improve despite the small possibility


But I do not despair is nothing impossible if all of it is with the permission of Allah SWT


I hope that in the future it will get better and better


Finish our prayers fold up and return them to their original place


"Where to go" asked Dira


"Eat first yuk across there is a restaurant" I said


"Jaudah come on" said Irene


"Eh you guys first I'll follow you" I said


"Where are you going" Irene asked


They both walked to the restaurant first


And I approached a beggar whose condition was very apprehensive


"Mr" call me


"It's a little rezeqi for grandma to take yes" I said in a soft tone while thrusting some red money sheets at her


"Thank you, thank you" he said full of


And I who saw it was filled to tears but soon I removed it


There are many who complain of difficulties when there are more difficult than them, no longer have the energy to work and only rely on the mercy of people


"There's a lot of neng" he said


"The same" I said with a sweet smile


"May neng be given a greater rezeqi than this and may neng always be given the best in life neng" he said


"Thank you for your prayers" I said sincerely


Finally I left the grandmother and followed Irene and Dira who had already gone to the restaurant


My eyes look for the whereabouts of those who apparently sit in the back corner close to the glass


I walked up to them but I hit a woman


"I'm sorry I accidentally" I said without looking at the woman's face


I heard the sound of footsteps that I guessed were Irene and Dira


I looked down while cleaning up the food that had fallen due to the collision earlier


The drinks he was carrying also spilled over the floor


"Arlla" said the woman who was still looking down while cleaning up the scattering food frowned confused


I slowly looked up and looked at the face of the woman I hit earlier


And at once I was shocked and could not believe who was in front of me


So did the facial expressions of Irene and Dira who saw the woman's face
