Best Teacher And Me
Nightmare

More than a month has passed since Irsyad became the homeroom teacher of class IPS 1. Without Kila knowing, the day is getting more colorful. His love for Irsyadpun increasingly grows as they get older between them.

Jum’at day is the favorite day of every student in school. Because on that day the students were sent home sooner than usual hours, before the time of the entrance. Most Muslim male students and teachers did not go home directly, but decided to go to the mosque next to the school first to perform the jum’at prayer.

On the other hand, Muslim students and students who are not Muslim have wandered somewhere. There are those who go to the mall, hang out, and those who are still at the craft school doing tasks that the teacher has just given them on the same day. Kila himself pulled himself over to the mosque to perform the prayer of the Zuhr first, then completed the surah al-kahfi, then returned to his home. Merely provision, if there is anything on the way at least he has done his duty to God.

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

Kila has arrived at her home. All the obligations he had done, and the time showed at nine o'clock in the evening. Today her grandmother looked agitated. Usually after dinner grandma always goes to her room to sleep or just think before going to bed. Today Kila even saw a stroke of sadness on the face of her grandmother who has now sat in the family room.

“Grandmother today is not as usual, what's wrong?” exclaim Kila. He sat down with his grandmother.

“What do you mean?” grandma's response.

“Today grandma is different. Usually, if you have finished eating directly to the room. Why go to the family room today? Continue, Kila look at the sad face of grandma today. Well, usually, right, Kila's the story, now it's grandma's turn to the story. What's up, Grandma?” Kila conveys the intent.

“Lha, do you want to take the role of grandma?”

“Ih, grandma do not want to be funny, deh, if again sad so,” said Kila upset to grandma.

Because Kila said that, grandma understood that Kila was really serious. Grandmother felt unable to put a joke position well, then she was silent for a while. Then Grandma took a deep breath and looked at Kila deeply.

Actually today is the peak of emotions where grandma can not cover it anymore, or act like everything is fine and nothing bad is hidden.

Since moving to her birthplace, grandmother often met her old friend. It was fun at the beginning, but the more days his friends even ask detailed things about the privacy of his life. Especially on this day, he had just arrived an old friend. There were words of his friend who seized the mind, it was also what made his face moody.

“Grandmother apologizes, yes, Kil.” Grandma took out the opening sentence. Kila is more astonished, “sorry for what, Nek?” reply Kila.

“Grandma apologizes for any granny mistake. For those of you who can not continue to meet your parents, it's the fault of grandma.” True, the old friend of the grandmother asked about the whereabouts of the child and his daughter-in-law who were not at home, why they left their parents alone. Asking about how the grandmother educated her child, how can the grandmother let her daughter marry the person her husband determined to be just a background of sheer wealth. His daughter and daughter-in-law are busy taking care of their wealth. About how grandma can not educate her daughter properly, impact on her daughter is not able to educate Kila as a parent. His mind was mixed, grandma preferred not to reveal it to Kila in the meantime.

“Apaan, hell, Grandma. Grandma don't think weird, deh. Grandma healthy, really, God must love grandma long life,” response Kila. Kila then hugged Grandma in a sitting position with grandma and leaned her head on Grandma's shoulder. Grandma preferred not to respond to Kila's statement, she just gently rubbed Kila's hair while thinking about her old friend's words.

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

It was very late now, Kila was still not asleep because she thought about the words of the grandmother. He did not want to lose his grandmother, why did grandma even discuss his death? Kila continued to force herself to sleep because the clock had shown at one in the morning. He must go to bed immediately so that at least he can wake up to perform tahajud later.

Kila daydreams imagining Irsyad. Soon the person he was dreaming of approached him. Then he asked, “who is the most valuable person to you?” said. Kila only handed him a piece of paper that he had made that time on the first day Irsyad entered his class.

Irsyad read it then asked, “what makes your grandmother more valuable than your parents?” said. Kila just fell silent and imagined her days with her grandmother. A lot of laughter that Grandma had created in the corner of Kila's lips. Grandma was always there for him, wherever and whenever it was. Grandma always sets a good example for Kila. Guiding Kila into a female figure sholeha prospective inhabitants of heaven.

“I know how much you love your grandmother. I can read your mind,” said Irsyad.

“Then, how about when your Lord takes his life as soon as possible?” irsyad. Kila's not budging. Then he tried to think positive things about it, there was no way Grandma would leave him in the near future. Grandma is healthy, does not have any disease, surely Allah SWT will prolong the age of her grandmother. Always think of the best possibilities in the bad possibilities.

Ira came in with disordered breath as she hurriedly searched for Kila. Ira then neutralized her breathing then said, “Akil, your grandmother died. Being hit by a run is equally irresponsible.” Hearing that statement, Kila immediately went limp and fell down. The tears could not be blocked. Then he ran to the place where his grandmother was with eyes that were unceasingly shed tears.

“Grandma, grandma... Grandma, up. Grandma don't leave Kila, Nek.” Kila arrived, then shook his grandmother's shoulder to wake her up. Kila still doesn't believe this. Then he cried hugging his grandmother who was filled with blood with tears.

The tears cannot stop. Until Kila woke up. Nightmares happen. He woke up with tears constantly flowing that had soaked his pillow. While the dawn of Azan was already reverberating, Kila missed her evening prayers. Kila continued to stand aside to neutralize her cries. Until he was completely calm when the iqamah mosque complex was heard. Then take ablution and perform dawn sunnah prayer with dawn.

Unexpectedly Kila, the nightmare to haunt Kila. He was always unsettled to leave his grandmother alone at home. He did not want to let grandma out of the house for any situation so that the accident in his nightmare did not become real. He always decided to go home early to accompany his grandmother.

It was real, but it was just a dream. Though only flowers sleep, but Kila always thought that it would be experienced by him.

Kila cursed himself because his kasmaran with Irsyad made his attention to the grandmother reduced. When Kila and Grandma were meeting, he only told Irsyad a self. Even Kila who usually asks the news of a grandmother who is alone left at home is now rarely conveyed. Kila felt she had to improve herself.
