Best Teacher And Me
Back to Room

Tiring day, both for Kila and Irsyad. After finishing with their respective affairs, they returned home lethargic and shabby. Kila got home after Isya because several times stuck in traffic and exposed to prayer time that requires him to pull over to perform prayer. Meanwhile, Irsyad until quite a night as he said, and still busied himself in his study even though he had reached home.

Because Kila's monthly guests had left last night, now he can do the routine before going back to sleep, namely performing the prayer of the Witir and reading the Surah Al-Mulk. Actually, Kila used to rarely perform prayer witir before going to bed. He only read Surah Al-Mulk. However, since marrying Irsyad, the man exemplified her diligence in performing the prayer witir, making Kila not want to lose to compensate her husband who is more extra in worship. In addition, Irsyad also several times reminded Kila not to forget to carry out night rituals while still in Turkey, making Kila unable to miss the prayer witir done before going to bed before closing the day. Kila tried to balance the observance of Irsyad worship by doing the things that Irsyad used to do. However, this time he had to perform the prayer of the witir himself, even though the priest was at home.

Finished with her night ritual, Kila laid her body to sleep. The hijab she was wearing was removed and she placed it on the bedside nightstand. It had been a few days Irsyad had not slept with Kila, even today Kila thought that Irsyad would not sleep with her. So, there is no harm in removing the hijab to make his sleep more comfortable.

When he closed his eyes, he heard the sound of the door opening. Kila hurriedly took back the hijab she had placed on the nightstand and quickly put it on. Then, his side position turned to the other side of the bed and pretended to sleep by closing his eyes.

Kila was able to guess that the one who opened the door of the room was Irsyad. Kila wondered the reason for Irsyad's arrival back to the room. Is there something he should take for his job? Then, why are these nights still working when Irsyad has just returned from an impromptu business that he said.

Kila's guess was wrong. Irsyad didn't come to take anything. Irsyad returned to the room to rest in the same bed as Kila, sleeping beside Kila. When Kila realized that Irsyad was starting to climb into the bed, she was so shocked by Irsyad's attitude. What is it about suddenly coming back to the room and sleeping in the same bed as Kila? Kila tried to think positively about the reason for Irsyad's attitude. However, what dominated in Kila's mind was just the hurt feelings caused by Irsyad's recent behavior.

"After everything that happened, suddenly returned to this room to sleep with me. Is my heart so addictive to play with?" kila said in my heart.

As much as possible Kila tried to sleep so that she stopped thinking bad things about Irsyad. However, it was very difficult to control her tears that were increasingly spilled when Irsyad laid her body beside Kila. Some tears that came out without sound was finally able to control after repeatedly saying Istighfar in the heart. Due to physical and heart fatigue, Kila was finally able to enter dreamland after an hour of her cheeks wet with tears. Now he can sleep in peace.

...****************...

The usual time of Irsyad performing tahajud prayers has arrived. Her body woke up alone without alarm because it was used to waking up at the same hour. He took ablution first before awakening Kila.

"There are tears on Kila's face? His eyes also look dull. Kila's been crying? Why is Kila crying?" ask Irsyad in my heart. When he wanted to wake up Kila, why did he have to look at the scene that made him feel sad like this? If he knew that he was the one who made Kila cry and had to sleep with such a puffy eye.

"Kila..., wake up! Let's take ablution and perform tahajjud prayer together!" Irsyad woke Kila. Kila immediately woke up with just a slow sentence that Irsyad said. Unknowingly he felt his heart hurt and instantly his tears dripped. Why was Kila so crybaby when dealing with Irsyad?

"Why else is this? Is Kila having a nightmare?" irsyad asked when he saw Kila's tears spilling.

Kila who noticed her tears spilling immediately wiped away her tears. He calmed himself by going straight to the bathroom to get some ablution water. However, Kila was anxious to ask a lot of things about what was happening here.

"I listened to the words of Surah Al-Mulk that you read. That means, your period is over" Irsyad replied briefly. Actually Irsyad also wanted to explain in detail how the chronology he could hear the chants of Surah Al-Mulk Kila. When he wanted to return his coffee glass to the kitchen, Irsyad heard the faint voice of people teaching. As he approached the room, he knew that Kila was the one who made the sound. Just want to explain that, Irsyad's tongue.

"Keep, Brother Irsyad sleeps here because....?" tanya Kila hangs.

"Yes, right. I sleep here to be more efficient to wake you up and perform tahajud prayers together" replied Irsyad who felt he already knew Kila's advanced speech.

"Ooh..., is that why?" batin Kila was a bit disappointed. Kila immediately headed to the bathroom to fetch some ablution water. Continuing the conversation with Irsyad could make him even more unsettled.

It felt like he had not been back in the room for a long time, until he forgot where his prayer holster was placed. Waiting for Kila to take it, Irsyad was reluctant to say it because he had seen Kila's tears spilled. Finally, he decided to head to his study to pick up his prayer kit to take to the room.

Kila finished taking ablution. Then, Kila put on a new face in her closet before going to where she and Irsyad used to pray. When she finished wearing the mukena, Kila looked for Irsyad on the right side of the bed where they usually pray. Irsyad is not in place. Again, the calm Kila was made a mess by Irsyad.

"What'sthis? What does it say to pray tahajud together? What does it mean at the same time? I guess, it means congregation. I was naive. He returned to his study to perform the tahajud prayer there." Kila's mind was prejudiced and her tears flowed thinking about it.

Kila had already spread out her prayer rug and prepared to perform the tahajud prayer even though her tears were still flowing, and her mind was still dominated by Irsyad's attitude. When he wanted to start his prayer, Irsyad returned.

"Sorry, Kila. I used to pick up a prayer kit in the study."

Kila's tears that she had once controlled flowed again. "If you don't see the prayer tool, why don't you ask me? Why just leave without saying goodbye and make me prejudiced against you?" inner Kila.

"Crazy? Are you crying again? Remember that nightmare you dreamed about?" asked Irsyad who was confused when he saw Kila's face. It was furious to get rid of Kila's tears from her sad face. He said because he has ablution and must perform the tahajud prayer at this time.

"Haha, yes, brother. Very cute Kila, huh? Udah ah, let's start the prayer, brother," Lie Kila. He put away his tears and was ready to be put in the position of a mum.
