CHARM OF MARYAM (Maryam Albatul Rahmah)
117. Open the Heart

Likewise with Tama who felt increasingly admiring the figure sitting beside her.

It was not Mahira who bar the bar as she was familiar with, but Mahira who was well mannered and a condition of meaning in every sentence that came out of her mouth.

"I want to start again everything better" Tama said in a soft voice

"Did we ever end up wanting to start again?" Sergeh Mahira later. Feeling a little strange at the speech Tama just said.

...The deepest wound is the one that cannot be seen by the eye, and the deepest sorrow is the one that cannot be expressed by words...

Hearing that Tama felt a little embarrassed, and could only smile broadly which revealed a row of white teeth.

"That's not it, let's be good friends!" Tama said in a soft voice, and replied with a sweet smile on her face.

Tama who had advanced, and stepped this far, did not want to just retreat. Although it was obvious doubt from Mahira's face.

Hearing the phrase from Tama makes Mahira feel a little amused, but even though he still keeps a little disappointed, still choose to accept Tama with an open heart.

If God alone is forgiving, then why should Mahira be concerned, perhaps that is what Mahira has in mind at this time.

"Alright" Mahira answered briefly with a nod of her head.

...Sometimes the desire of the heart must not always be obeyed, there are times when you have to use logic, so that the heart is not getting hurt....

Hearing Mahira's answer, even though only one word "Alright" is enough to make Tama's feelings flow, the article now he knows if Mahira is no longer vengeful to him.

"Are you Tama still long ?" Said Mahira later

"Ha?, you kicked me out ?" Answer Tama

"None . Not so maxut me, just that the day is getting late, do you Tama intend to stay again ?" Tukas Mahira later

The words of Mahira who immediately invited laughter from Tama. "Okay, I'll go home "Answer Tama later.

"Ohya, may I visit again next time ?" Ask Tama

"It is better that Ka Reza ask Abi, because this house belongs to Abi, not Mahira" Mahira replied politely.

Again the speech is able to make Tama more anxious on the figure of Mahira.

"OK I will ask Abi for permission" said Tama later, and was responded with a nod of the head by Mahira.

Day change day

And the day Denis was waiting for had arrived.a long holiday that would change his life in the future.

Although with a sense of doubt, honestly it was hard for Denis to step up. But for him a good intention is not good if it only continues to be an intention, and there is no effort to make it happen. Because sometimes the heart can see what the eye does not see.

The leave Denis asked for for one Sunday, in fact Reza gave it for 10 days, It was enough for Denis to re-refresh his brain full of piles of paper a few days ago.

This morning Denis was ready with a medium-sized suitcase, which contained some clothes for him to use for the next few days, driving the car at a moderate pace, towards an area he had planned a few days ago.

Along the way, there are many green trees and some street vendors on the right and left side of the road. The view of the mountains and rice fields make Denis heart feel calm and serene.

With the intention and determination that has been rounded, Denis began the journey to step, down each road with a luxury car that became his pride, a vehicle that he bought from the results of his efforts during his time as Assistant Reza Abizar El Shirazy.

The journey takes approximately two hours to the destination location.

After a while, the car finally arrived. Denis parked neatly in the yard of a house that is not so luxurious, but impressed beautiful and calm.

"MashaAllah Nak Denis, I've been waiting" said a man previously contacted by Denis.

"Yes sir" Denis replied by commenting on a smile and nodding his head in a sign of respect.

"Please enter son, Let's take you to Denis's room "Say the man.

A man who was no longer young, with a radiant clean face and a soothing shady eye highlight. Lead Denis's steps into his residence.

Denis gave an answer by nodding his head politely.

After showing the room, and allowing Denis to rest, Ustadz Hamzah returned to the classroom to teach his students.

Ustad Hamzah is the founder and management of a modern Pondok Pesantren which is quite developed in his city, where Reza is one of the permanent donors in the pesantren. Until now the pesantren is more advanced than before.

Since Reza's closeness with Ustadz Hamzah whom he considered as his spiritual teacher, Reza often visited, even if only to provide assistance for the development of the pesantren.

Ustad Hamzah who had communicated with Reza and also Denis Previously, made him no longer ask the purpose of Denis' arrival even if only for pleasantries.

Being a lightning santri is the goal of Denis at this time, although he is not yet fully convinced, but at least Denis will try for a wish in the chest.

Afternoon

Sitting on the fallen wood, next to the mosque where there are several tilapia fish ponds that have a unique and beautiful pattern. Denis feels strange, he has been here since noon, but Ustadz Hamzah has not told him to do anything, or teach him anything.

"Have eaten Denis' son" said Ustadz Hamzah who immediately shook Denis.

"Oh, Em, already sir "Answer Denis with a nod of the head.

"I'm sorry I surprised you" said Ustadz Hamzah kindly, and Denis only responded with a nod of his head to give an answer.

After that, Ustadz Hamzah sat next to Denis, on a large and long wood, with occasional throwing pellets (fish feed) into the tilapia fish pond.

"Son Denis !" Ustadz Hamzah spoke in a soft voice and pat on Denis' shoulder

"Yes sir" Denis replied politely.

For a moment Austadz Hamzah let out a long sigh, and exhaled slowly, a Smile Sculpture on the face that was no longer young.

"If the purpose of our lives is only because of the world alone, honestly religion is not so valuable" said Abi Hanif with a focus on the foresight.

Hearing that Denis seemed to frown, directing his gaze at Ustadz Hamzah who was sitting right beside him.

"But if the purpose of our lives is for the world and the hereafter, eating religion is very important to compensate" Ustadz Hamzah later said. And Denis still remained silent carefully listening to every talk about Hamzah.

"Human basically wants peace in his life in the world, every human being must have the nature to always live comfortably and peacefully, peace can be achieved through some effort, religion is the foundation of life for every human being. " Ustadz Hamzah later said

"Every religion must teach good things in order to direct its followers towards ultimate happiness. Islam is the religion of Lil Al-Amin" Tukas ustadz Hamzah.

This is based on the Quranic verse of Al Anbiya verse 107, Allah SWT also said about rahmatan lil alamin

وَمَآ اَرْسَلْنٰكَ اِلَّا رَحْمَةً لِّلْعٰلَمِيْنَ

It means 'we have not created you (Muhammad), but to be a mercy to all nature'.

Hearing the narration from Ustadz Hamzah made Denis think a little about his purpose before coming to this place.

Feeling pinched with every sentence that came out from the middle-aged figure sitting right beside him.

To be honest Denis was embarrassed, because his goal right now is to make Mahira accept it. Become a person who can be accepted in the heart of Mahira.

"Father is not stingy science nak Denis, it's just that I remind you what the purpose of Denis nak came to this place, Rasulullah shallallahu ‘alaihi wa sallam bersabda"

مَنْ سَلَكَ طَرِيقًا يَلْتَمِسُ فِيهِ عِلْمًا سَهَّلَ اللَّهُ لَهُ بِهِ طَرِيقًا إِلَى الْجَنَّةِ

“Whoever takes a path in order to seek knowledge, Allah will make it easier for him to go to heaven.” (CHR. Muslims no. 7028).

"Don't just because of the world, that's the important point son" said Ustadz Hamzah in a polite and gentle voice.

A gentle rub on Denis' shoulder became the end of the second conversation, because after that Ustadz Hamzah resigned to perform ashar prayers
