CHARM OF MARYAM (Maryam Albatul Rahmah)
9. Maryam's Patience

Night like the reason Maryam Rushing take ablution to perform Isya prayers.

Because the bathroom in the room is on the right side so that Maryam had to pass through Reza's Bed.

Reza is still busy with some files in his hands. Ignoring Maryam who was pacing in front of him.

Maryam performed Isha prayers very solemnly, and after that Maryam opened her Qur'an mushaf, reading some surah in it.

Reza's fans heard Maryam's voice teaching, much to the annoyance, but Reza refused to forbid Maryam to stop. But still allow Maryam to teach.

After some surahs she read, Maryam rushed to sleep. There was no chatter and greeting between Maryam and Reza.

It's been running a few days since Maryam stayed at Amar's grandfather's house, All goes as usual.

***

Maryam woke up from her sleep after hearing her cell phone alarm go off. Where at that time shows 02.55 which is the time of one third of the night used by Maryam to perform tahajud prayers.

Maryam immediately took ablution, and as she passed right in front of Reza's bed, Maryam found Reza asleep on her king's size mattress, but he fell asleep still with a laptop and some paper scattered there.

Maryam who felt sorry to see it was trying to help Reza clean up and tidy up the scattered files, then put them on the table.

Afterwards Maryam helped to cover Reza to sleep better.

After doing everything, Maryam rushed to the bathroom to take ablution, and returned to her small room to perform tahajud prayers.

Routine activities that Maryam always did in the last third of the night. After finishing her prayers Maryam read some of the usual practices she practiced and after opening her Qur'an mushaf to read it, while waiting for the arrival of the dawn prayer time.

Moments later, the voice of the morning prayer rang, Maryam rushed to immediately perform dawn prayers.

After finishing the morning prayer Maryam planned to bathe first before Reza Awakened from her sleep.

Because it would be more troublesome if she took a bath when Reza was awake.

***

Maryam had finished her ritual in the morning, Maryam who was bored just in the room from the moment she came, decided to go out in the room.

Chequek...

"Miss Maryam went where Early in the morning like this "Said a servant who happened to pass in front of Reza's room, and Instantly made Maryam shocked.

"Ohh. This is bi, Maryam is bored in the room straight away, can Maryam help work in the kitchen ?? "Say Maryam later

But the servant was surprised by the request of his master. I wanted to refuse but Maryam insisted.

Although frightened, she slowly agreed to Maryam's request.

"Well Miss Maryam, let's go together to the kitchen" said the waiter

Upon arrival in the kitchen Maryam felt very surprised, it turns out there were two other servants who were preparing to cook.

Maryam is a smart girl, clever, and likes to help ummi Maya in the kitchen when she is at home, not surprised by the activities that women should do when in the kitchen.

"You're cooking today" asked Maryam.

Seeing the confused expression of the waiter, Maryam again asked a question and was immediately answered by one of the servants.

"Today the big madam didn't instruct anything Miss, so we felt a little confused about what to do"

After that Maryam asked what were the favorite foods of Grandpa Amar, Fatimah's grandmother and Mr. Reza. to the servants

Then some waiters gave directions for what food was liked by the residents of the house. And after knowing it, immediately came the idea in Maryam's brain to make some dishes.

"Bi Siti...., Can Maryam Today prepare Breakfast ? " Say Maryam softly to one of the servants there

Bi Siti is the most senior and longest-serving waitress there, therefore Amar's grandfather entrusted her as a butler, and even to take care of the salaries of other maids there .

"But miss!!" Resist Bi siti later

"Why bi?, InshaAllah Maryam can really. " Say Maryam softly tried to convince the middle-aged woman before her.

"Miss Maryam, it's not that aunt is afraid, if the Great Lord or the young Master knows the mistress here we will all get into trouble"

"Auntie take it easy, if it happens, Maryam make sure, Maryam will be responsible" said Maryam in a soft voice reassuring everyone, A loud voice sounded , when people hear it, they will be happy.

"Alright, miss Maryam, but we will remain here to help miss "Say bi siti later and be answered with a nod of the head by Maryam

Maryam began her action by preparing the ingredients needed, while still being helped by other servants. They enjoyed the morning activities. Cooking together with the Madam House is a new activity they do, because after the passing of Mother from Reza there is no longer a hostess who enters the kitchen.

Cook by telling each other stories and asking lots of questions. Mary was very happy at the time.

Maryam prepared everything in great detail and very carefully, including the nutritional content of the dishes she made, This is related to the Health of Grandma Halimah of course.

After struggling for about an hour and a half, finally the whole cuisine is ready to serve.

***

From the other direction Grandpa Amar who felt there was a boisterous sound from the direction of the kitchen, tried to find out what really happened.

Found Amar's grandfather standing firmly in front of the Kitchen door, making the waiter who was there feel very scared, not least BI Siti, who just lowered her gaze .

"Sity!!! Explain What is this !!" Grandpa Amar said firmly.

"Emm.. ann.annu sir , ... " Answer Bi Siti with a stutter.

Seeing the situation of the frightened servants Maryam tried to calm down

As Maryam stepped forward towards the direction where Diaman's grandfather Amar was standing, Maryam stood right beside Amar's grandfather and explained everything

"Grandfather, Maryam was sorry, They didn't have the wrong cake, Maryam forced them to allow Maryam to cook here, because Maryam was so bored when she had to be in the room" Say Maryam politely to Grandpa Amar . and immediately Grandpa Amar understood the wishes of his son-in-law. .

"Well, if that's so " said Grandpa Amar later. Maryam smiled with relief at Grandpa Amar's reply.

Likewise with the servants who feel happy, knowing they are not so angry with grandfather Amar.

"Mary...!" said grandfather Amar

"Yes cake?" Answer Mary later

"If you're done with the menu you made, I think you should immediately return to your room, to serve the needs of your husband" said Grandpa Amar gently

"Good cake" Maryam replied with a nod of her head.

Unbeknownst to some people who were in the kitchen, it turns out that from earlier there had been someone who saw and noticed Maryam, by pairs of eyes from a distance , , Who else if not Reza, who had been standing right next to the elevator door.
