The next morning.The sound of birds is crowded in the trees.Cold air begins to feel. It is the atmosphere in the village.
Zikri actually still at home with his wife's child. But what power, obligation demands her to return to work.
"What time do you leave, sir?" Ask wife.
"Let's Mom. 9 o'clock." replied Zikri.
"All right."
His wife began packing the provisions that her husband would bring. Some typical food from there did not forget she put in her husband's bag.
"Alhamdulillah is done, now stay cooking." Said Zikri's wife.
Zikri rushed to take a shower and got ready. Not long after the food was available at the table.
Both of Zikri's children were waiting for his father at the dinner table.
Zikri immediately accompanied his children to breakfast.
"Let's go to work again." Zikri
"Yes, sir. I'm coming home, right?" ask Ezra his son
"God willing, if you have a long holiday, you will go home" replied Zikri
His son was home that morning, because it was Sunday.
Time is spinning so fast. The wall clock in Zikri's house already showed at half 9.
Zikri started getting ready to go back overseas. His backpack started to carry.
"Lady..."
"Father is leaving now!" zikri
"Yes.. Sir." his wife went straight to Zikri
His children soon met his father.
"Healthy - healthy everything" said Zikri while stroking his son's head.
"Yes sir, you're healthy there too!" Ezra hugged his father.
"Father departs yes, Assalamualaikum!"
"Getishalight." Answer Zikri's son and wife
Zikri immediately turned her body.
He went straight to the terminal where the bus left.
After a few hours, Zikri finally arrived at his contract. He immediately cleaned his bag.
The clothes were neat in the iron and many snacks he took out of his bag.
Then he put his body on the floor.
"Well, today's weather is so hot." Zikri
It did not feel Zikri was asleep on the floor.Maybe he was tired of traveling from home to his rented place.
30 Minutes had passed, Zikri finally woke up.
"Astaghfirullah. I overslept here" he said, wiping his eyes.
He sat down, and brought his cell phone.
"Forgot not to tell the wife at home." Say it again
Zikri then called his wife, telling her he had been contracted 30 minutes ago.
"Assynoltom... Mom..!"
"Waalaikumsalam, sir."
"Father has arrived, Mom, just finished the contents of the bag, I even overslept, this is also just waking up."
"Oh yes sir, thank God that you have arrived" replied his wife
"Yes, I've rested first, I'll do the night duty, right?" his wife said again.
"Yes ma'am, I'll take the night off" replied Zikri
"Let's not forget to eat sir, Assalamualaikum."
"Waalaikumsalam" replied Zikri
then Zikri hung up.
Zikri went to get a plate, and he brought a packet of rice made by his wife this morning at home.
He took the chicken and the sauce.
"Bismilahbornrahmanirrahim..."
Zikri greedily ate, even though he was alone in the contract.
He never complained about his living conditions. He was a patient man.
It was night time, it was time for Zikri to leave for work. That day he was on night duty.
"Get ready to go ah, it's 9 o'clock."
Zikri put on his uniform, and then he went to work.
"Where is it sir, safe?" ask Zikri
"Sir... Thank God." replied his partner
"Okay .. ready!"
Now the Zikri section is on guard until morning.
Zikri started to go around looking at the condition of the office and its surroundings. With the center in his hand, he continued to direct to all corners of the room.
He walked back to the parking lot, back to the guard post.
"Alhamdulillah..safe." said Zikri.
He sat down and turned on the radio at his desk.
"Let's not sleepy, make coffee first."
Taken a glass, then he opened the black coffee, he pushed the dispenser button.
"It's so fresh to smell coffee." Zikri while bringing her nose closer to the coffee cup.
He really enjoyed sipping for a sip of coffee. Plus the night wind that was getting colder.
He saw it was 12pm again.
Sometimes Zikri yawns, but he tries not to fall asleep.
He stood back up, pacing back and forth.
"Let's not sleepy trying to go around again!" zikri
He picked up his flashlight again, he turned it on and started patrolling again. He pointed his flashlight at every corner of the room.
Without fear he continued to look at every corner of the room. At that time it was very late.
When he was done, he returned to the guard post. He opened the banana chips he had brought from his house.
He took a photo, then posted it on his WA status.
Shortly Isma's sister commented on her status.
"For dong sis!" Isma
"Eh, ko hasn't slept Is?" ask Zikri
"It just so happens to wake up, keep looking at the phone."
"Oh yes."
"Yes to the night duty, brother?"
"Yes, it's night duty."
"Be careful, brother."
"Yes Is..."
"The chips can be shared." Isma Ledek
'If you want to take it." Zikri while showing a photo of the chips he was eating.
"She.ha.ha.." Isma laughed
"Yes, Isma is sleepy again, sister, want to be beautiful again." Isma joke
"Here you sleep there again."
Isma was very close to Zikri. They often joke and tease each other.
Time keeps turning, it does not feel like it is going to dawn.
Zikri rushed to the mushola, then he took ablution and went straight into the mushola.
While waiting for the dawn Adhan, he sat down and read some verses of the Qur'an.
Before long the voice of the morning adhan reverberated.
"Allahuakbar.... Allahuahd...!"
"Alhamdulillah, it's dawn."
Zikri stood up and prayed.
Do not forget to recite after prayer.
After the prayer, Zikri returned to wearing his shoes. He rushed back to the guard post.
He wrote a report book last night, and he went back on patrol. He went back around the room to the parking area.
"Allah is safe." Zikri
The sky is starting to light, the time has shown at 6 am. Zikri's assignment that night was done. He reported the situation when he was on guard to a friend who would be on guard next.
Then Zikri returned home to his contract.
He swings at his feet, even though his eyes are very sleepy. On the way not forgetting he stopped by the rice stall, he packed food for him to eat later.
Suddenly contracted he immediately cleaned his body. After that, he took a plate and ate the food he bought earlier.
"Alhamdulillah..." Zikri
After eating, he immediately rested.
