AMONG THE 3A
PART 8'S. MYTHS

Tazkiya, residence of Aiswa.

Kyai Hariri salim, abuya Aiswa felt that lately his daughter was avoiding him. Since Hasbi's arrival at lunch last week, Aiswa has locked herself in her room a lot, no matter what she does. Everyone in this house has trouble getting close to him.

*

Aiswa realized, she would be betrothed to a man who was none other than her brother's best friend. The initials Abuya gave a few weeks ago turned out to be a name that was no longer foreign to him, Ahmad Hasbi.

His meeting with Hasbi in the dining room of his residence and Abuya's statement that he would speak seriously, heeded Aiswa.

" I had to dodge for a while until I got the contact number of ka Amir. "his determination was unanimous while looking at the flat object screen in his hand.

Aiswa is currently waiting for news from one of the alumni of female students who are the age of Amir. The goal is one, get the mobile number of the pujaan heart.

Ting, incoming message notifications. He really hopes the message coming in is from someone he is very much waiting for.

" Thank God can, yeeaaayy. "the screech is excited. Aiswa then kept Amir's number, preparing to make a call after saying many thanks to the informer.

Hush, Tuut. Sound Tone of mobile phone connection.

" It's not lifted, why? " remember wonder.

Aiswa did the same thing repeatedly until he was tired, his call did not come to Amir response.

" Ah ka Amir, reply donk "his face is clear on the screen of his phone.

" Eh forgot, I sent a message first let him know that it's me. Stupid Aish "surely annoyed.

No longer wasting time, he then sent a message that said his apology had made many calls and introduced himself.

One hour, two hours. Aiswa never got a reply from Amir, until he fell asleep in his comfortable bed because tired of waiting for a reply that never came.

***

At the same time. Al Multazam's.

Abyan learns about the myth of his wife's distant cousin who twice failed to marry because her future husband died after exactly 30 days they were reunited. There are events that accompany it, either suddenly seriously ill to other nonsensical events.

Almahyra's parents were not pious and guarded speech. Disputes that occurred in the past when Almahyra was still in the womb finally reaped a curse sentence, he said.

I don't know what Almahyra's parents said to her brother at the time that made her emit horrible hate sentences.

Until the night began to rise in the morning, Abyan was still thinking about the words of his wife yesterday afternoon.

" O Allah, I take refuge in you from all kinds of prejudices, "his prayer is soft as he looks at Qonita who is still asleep in his arms.

At dawn, his father-in-law, who knew the whereabouts of his sister hafiz Qur'an, was in the middle of the sowan in Al Multazam, asked Amir who became the imam of dawn prayers in the mosque of the cottage. But until breakfast time arrived, his sister had not yet returned to her residence.

" Dear, Amir is still at Abuya's place? " he asked as Qonita was preparing breakfast.

" Hem, I asked Abuya to advise Amir not to grow the seed of love for Alma. " bluffily.

" dear... You're exaggerating. "

" Anga Buya, I love Amir. I don't want him to be wretched, he's also my only brother, "Qonita knows what it's like to lose. He still remembers very clearly how tight, sad, sick and disappointed his sister died shortly after birth. Handsome little brother, according to his wishes when asking a sister to the Mother first.

" Dear, we do not know we can not even refuse when God presents love in our hearts, believe God's destiny is certainly the best even though we do not like it. " His advice to his wife.

" You don't, anyway you can. I, I will thwart it if I have to, "Qonita sobbed softly.

By Allah, I love your sister. I'll protect her. His determination in heart.

" Qonita Istighfar! " Abyan is strangling.

Qonita was stunned by Abyan's rising tone of voice. She was inexhaustible, her husband just responded casually to the thing she was very worried about.

" Innalillahi, astagfirullah.. Sorry baby, sorry I. We will talk again later, yes, "his bell on Qonita's face that immediately lowered his head when his tone was a little firm earlier.

" Wait for me Ka, Mba.. Sorry for a long time, Abuya had not talked to and fro. "he explained to the two people who were waiting for him.

Without many words spoken from the three, they immediately ate the breakfast dish in silence. Amir with his thoughts about Alma and Aiswa. Abyan and Qonita with their own disobedience.

" Mir, you want to talk this loosely, in the reading room after you, "he asked.

" Good ka. "

Half an hour passed by. Amir is still sitting on his alphabet. He did not intend to immediately meet the older brother because his heart said that what they were going to talk about must have something to do with Alma.

Geck. Geck. The door to his room was knocked.

Inevitably, Amir moved from his alphabet to open the door.

" Ka, afwan I just finished "Amir dodged unpleasantly when he saw Abyan had stood in front of the door of his room.

" Can I come in, Mir? "

" Fadhol ka. " (please).

Abyan then went into his sister's room and sat on the edge of the bed, facing Amir who followed sitting then.

" You have any intentions with Alma? your distant cousin Mba? " ask Abyan directly.

" Not yet. Oh he's a distant cousin of Mba Qonita? "

" Sister does not want you to be rash to choose who will be your choice. But before the affection comes good from this moment you ask God to be close to a good soul mate... Aiswa was indeed very guarding her gaze, but she would belong to someone else. Forbidden, menghitah women who are in the process of ta'aruf with other men, remember it Mir "he said.

" Na'am bi althabi... You know Aiswa? since when? " (Yes, I remember).

" Since you kept the purple ribbon as a barrier to your Quran recitation, since you bought two purple hijabs that were the same as Naya's. Since Abah told me about Kyai Hariri Salim who thanked him, because you helped Aiswa setor memorannya very late that one year ago. "

" Kyai Hariri recounts all the changes in Aiswa's learning methods since then. Abah and I concluded you wouldn't approach a girl unless you put your liking on her. "

Amir lowered his head in shame, although he kept his mouth shut, keeping Aiswa in his heart turned out that Abah and his brother were paying attention.

" He asked Abah last night to pray that next week Hasbi and Aiswa would continue the ta'aruf process. You have to start being sincere even though I know it's going to be heavy. He's your best friend, right? "

" Yes, Hasbi told me last week sis, when Naya was going to the reception in Bogor. "

" Don't ruin your friendship for love Mir. Remember the word of Imam Al Ghazali that something which is not destined for you will not reach you even if it is close, as close as two lips... And something destined for you will reach you even if it is far away, as far as two mountains. "

Amir closed in a deep breath, he realized he had wrongly kept someone who was not a mahram in his heart. And now he must feel the loss because he was too slow to take action.

" Never regret or feel a loss for something you haven't even started. " Abyan patted his sister's shoulder slowly.

" One more, Alma... Don't find out about it, keep your heart from prejudice.. We forbid you to approach Alma. Being hafiz is a lot of trials and temptations especially about lust. I understand, Aiswa is your first love, right? a lot of Istighfar ya Mir. Release slowly. "

" Sister, I.... "

" Begging Allah for guidance, for He is the best place to ask. " Abyan then rose out of his sister's room after what became a hoax in his heart was delivered.

Getting long advice from his brother, Amir was silent for a long time in his place again. The faint sound of his mobile phone vibrating he did not reveal earlier. He even forgot where the phone was because since last night Amir had not touched it at all.

His mind was in a fury, his heart was sick, disappointed and angry.

" Arrrggghhh. "groaned as his hands clenched, throwing punches at the pillow.
