65 Kyai Caregiver's Advice

"Is there any medicine to take, son?" nyai Sharifah asked Arafka, after giving meidina Shafa drinking water.

"Nothing, Ummi," said Rafka. It turns out that he called the umi on the Sharifah nyai. And there was no awkward tone in his call, which indicated that he was used to calling that. "The medicine, through intravenous injection," continued the handsome young man.

"Oo Alhamdulillah," greeted his mother with a smile.

"Good, you're finishing your meal, son," chirped kyai on Meidina. He was just silent, when the Sharifah greeted the girl. It can be understood, that in the guidance of ahlak, indeed the person who is eating it should not while talking, and should also not be spoken to.

"People who are sick, in order to recover immediately, in addition to having a lot of rest, it is recommended not to leave the stomach empty" he continued.

Meidina nodded obediently. Actually just this time, the girl could finish her meal. Usually he was never able to finish the meal, no matter how delicious and delicious the dishes were served. But, on his tongue it always feels bland, or is refused by itself to get into the throat.

This is very different from now, where the food is toilet without waste and only leaves the dish used only. In fact, during enjoying the food that was fed by Nyai Sharifah, Meidina often blinked, because a pair of neutras that often glazed, so that no tears fell on the face.

It means he ate almost crying. But the food could run out. That was because the cry stood on the haru and happy feeling, which he could hardly describe with words.

Kyai Hamdi Umar was with nyai, visiting him. Followed by Kyai Musthofa Tammi and his wife. Coupled with the arrival of Kyai Sholih and Nyai Wardah, Meidina already felt very happy beyond measure. Kyai Alhasyimi's family visit felt very "something" to her. Now coupled with the presence of a big nanny along with the Sharifah nyai. Especially until the nyai maam deigned to feed like this, it felt like there was a moon falling, befalling Meidina.

Thus the euphoria of the happiness of a santri when getting extraordinary attention from Kyai and Nyai. For Meidina, her presence can both be a support system for her recovery. It was evident that the girl was able to finish her food.

"Stand back, son. Sit back, so your digestion works well." Dawuh Shaykhona again, on Meidina who sat down with her hands folded on her lap, looked very awkward and shy.

"Not to feel awkward with us. We are your own parents" he continued. Which again made Meidina's feelings rippled back. Thank God he was in the heart.

Nyai Sharifah then helped Meidina to sit leaning, as desired by the big nanny.

"Don't think too much about anything, son. Come to Allah." Kyai gave wise advice, as Meidina was already sitting in a calmer position.

The girl was immediately bowed in. He understood what was meant by kyai, certainly related to his illness this time, which indeed started from too many burdensome thoughts. Arafka knew this by saying this afternoon to Meidina. Moreover, kyai caregivers, who are believed to have advantages from God, can know on something that is still disguised for others. Especially in his case this time, it was also not a supernatural matter, which required the sense of umpteenth to complete.

"If you doubt, by God's gift to you, it means that you doubt yourself to God." Kyai continued his advice again. Which made Meidina look like she couldn't look back. So in the meaning of the sentence, so in the recesses of the heart.

Meidina was asked to look within herself, with all her understanding and awareness, that everything that was on her, from the smallest, to the greatest, was in her life, it is simply a gift from God. Either directly, or through an intermediary. So even when he fell in love with Rayyan Ali Fattan, but then had to forget his love, because it has been betrothed to Irfan Arafka Wafdan, all are God's gifts, and not escaped from His provisions.

When the gift was a gift of happiness, he received it with joy, cherished it in such a way, and ordained it as a gift from the wonderful God. Then, He will always tremble in his soul, that Allah is All-Good, Most Merciful And Most Perfect.

However, when the gift is in the form of something that is less liked, it even tends to be contrary to what is desired and expected. So, do not accept let alone shave it. Some even question everything, doubt the justice of God in His decision, and even assume that God is no longer good to him.

And in every moment and time, Allah never ceases to give His Rahman and Rahim, much less to His pious servant.

Here, Shaykhona is reminding us that if we doubt that God's gift is the best, then we doubt ourselves about Him.

Have we truly served Him and sanctified Him. Have we feared Him, surrendered to His will, and sincerely with His decision.

For the true servant, by his devotion to God, will always be at ease in every acceptance of His gifts and provisions. And sure that God, will only give the best to him, in accordance with the standardization of his needs.

Every self must be good at introspection, rather than just busy feeling sorry for themselves, and feel the most suffering in this world.

After feeling that the advice was being well digested by Meidina, Shaykhona turned to Arafka. "Rafka, this is not only for your future wife, but for you too," he said, which is the advice given just now.

In particular, the advice was possible for Arafka and Meidina. But, in general, everything there has been involved in learning and trying to understand its meaning.

"Remember, Aba," Arafka obeyed while nodding her head and slightly bowing her body, a sign that she was obedient and also respectful towards everything. It must have been because he had digested the advice and started to understand it.

There is one more fact here, that as it turns out, Arafka mentions "Aba" to the shaykhona. Whereas in some places, when talking about or just mentioning the great nanny kyai Alhasyimi, Arafka always mentions with the word "shaykhona" as the majority of santri Alhasyimi call for the great teacher they respect.

While later tears were seen rolling down Meidina's face, after perfect she understood the meaning of the advice of shaykhona.

"Don't cry, son. Your brother gave advice for the good of the two of you "Nyai Sharifah rubbed the shoulders of Meidina who began to sob.

Meidina nodded. In his heart he was very grateful, as if he had just woken up from sleep, after getting the advice. The girl wanted to say an infinite thank you to the sheikhona, but her voice was like a gag in the throat.

Nyai Syarifah wiped away the girl's tears, which made Meidina sobbing even more because she was moved. Bu nyai also embraced him while gently rubbing the head of the girl ayu covered with hijab.

Hi friends ter-love.

In this part, it reminds me of when I was a nyantri. I can tell you a little story. In the past, when I was sick, ma nyai told one of his trusts, to take me to sleep in dhelem (kyai residence). When my night was hot, he rubbed my head, and gave me a drink, it felt, God, very happy. Like I was healing my pain.

Sorry, if the depiction of Meidina's happiness when the affection of the nyai nanny was considered too excessive. But it is like that the happiness of a santri when it can be the attention and affection of kyai and have a cottage. It feels like that, something really.

My story, though,

The Love u All...
