Dusk Above the Horizon

Dusk Above the Horizon
Wise husband


Papa Gunawan and Mama Niar's master bedroom


Mana Niar looks not okay, since earlier her facial expression was as if displaying an expression of her dislike at the decision her husband made on the dining table, it was as if thinking her husband was acting out of her capacity, not talking things out first to her and considering himself to be non-existent.


So upset the woman went straight into the room without removing the slightest sound, chose to wash her face then moved quickly towards the front of the ornamental closet, after that the woman immediately cleans the rest of the makeup that is still attached to her part with a facial expression in the bend.


it is inconceivable how the woman's current expression, which clearly does not look all right, was as if reluctant to assume her husband was indeed nowhere near her.


she continued to give her hands to clean her makeup system, after making sure the makeup system that had been clean the woman moved towards the top of her mattress, choosing to lay her body on the white domineering mattress without letting out the slightest sound.


just like a child, when you get something that doesn't suit your wishes, the woman chooses to get angry this way.


Papa Gunawan has been busy with the rest of the magazine reading in his hands, choosing to read some articles and complete his pending reading before the dinner table, the man always had to finish all his readings every time he bought a new magazine.


although times have changed, mobile phones are more sophisticated than television and magazines, still, for men, print magazines are better to read than read opening articles or news on the screen of mobile phones whose light levels can make his head hurt.


The man continued to focus on his readings regardless of his wife at all.


I don't know how much time has passed that obviously they are busy with their respective affairs, Mama Niar with her anger and papa Gunawan with his beloved magazine.


until finally after a long time passed papa Gunawan put the magazine in his hand on the nightstand on his right side, the man immediately laid his body as soon as he finished putting down his magazine, choosing to glance at his wife for a moment as he tried to fix the position of the head and a sense of comfort in his body.


"Still not yet Redho Dusk is not up to your expectations?"


suddenly, papa Gunawan spoke, breaking the silence between the two of them to make Mama Niar surprised, the woman chose to bend the man and did not turn to look at her husband.


Papa Gunawan slowly tightened his body, he hugged his wife slowly then whispered softly.


"Don't forget Niar, everything that happens on the face of this earth is by the will of Allah SWT"


"And to Allah belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth; and Allah is Powerful over all things." No one has power but God who controls all that is in the universe, not even a leaf that falls but by His will (Al-An'am: 59), he is the owner of the kingdom of heaven and earth.


"And to Allah belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth; and Allah is Powerful over all things."


(QS. Ali 'Imran 3: Verse 189)


No one has power but God who controls all that is in the universe, not even a leaf that falls but by His will (Al-An'am: 59), for he is the owner of the kingdom of heaven and earth."


Hearing her husband's words as soon as Mama Niar closed his eyeballs, it could be felt that there was one powerful blow piercing his heart and smashing into his soul.


"Don't be angry with this situation, because when you are angry it means you are not Redho and sincere in God's decisions and provisions"


The Prophet said, “The anger comes from Satan. Demons are created from fire and fire can only be extinguished with water. Therefore, if any of you are angry immediately berwudhu.” (CHR. Ahmad bin Hanbal's.


He certainly knows how his wife's attitude, the woman is still not sincere and happy with the situation, because feeling twilight is not something he expects, too far beyond expectations.


Lying if he does not know what his wife wants, at least expect Cakra married to Jelita's sister can even be a wife from the upper class with her well-established job.


"When you are angry with your soul mate in getting Cakra, it means you are trying to blame the decision of Allah SWT, which means, angry because what you want is not according to your wishes and blame Allah SWT for what has been outlined"


in the end, hearing her husband's words immediately made Mama Niar's eyeballs start to glaze over, and in the next few seconds the woman sobbed.


"I'm sorry Mama, I just feel like this isn't the time yet, and I feel anxious that the choice of Cakra will only add to our family's pettiness"


The answer is slow at the end.


"That's his name prejudice, and his prejudices deserve ghibah"


"O you who believe, stay away from most prejudices (suspices), for some of them are sins. And let not some of you seek the ugliness of people and gossip from one another. Does any of you like to eat the flesh of his dead brother? Of course, you are disgusted by him. And fear Allah. Verily, Allah is the Receiver of Repentance, the Most Merciful." (Al-Hujurat: 12)."


"When prejudice and ghibah come then Istighfar lah, it means that the shetan is playing in our heads and also our hearts hmm"


After saying so, papa Gunawan tightened his embrace, he tried to understand and softly persuade his wife, knowing that the woman was not in good condition.


Still angry his beloved son acted out of his sane wits.


"Mama only feels worried and anxious, on the one hand as if being lied to, on the other hand he is quite anxious if the twilight is far beyond expectations, only worried and anxious, just worried, it may also be true to get carried away with prejudice due to the whisper of shethan"


Say the woman again later.


Papa Gunawan sighed softly.


“Don't we know? between the characters of the world's life is clearly in full of turmoil and anxiety, which it will obviously afflict all those who live in the world. Let us not forget that the world is a place of distress, suffering, and narrowness of life. This is what distinguishes heaven from the world life” (‘Ilajul humum, p. 2)."


"Not everything that goes through every day is filled with fun things. Sometimes the heart is able to undergo with a smiling face, but not infrequently undergo with a stroke of burden on the forehead and heart. But what needs to always be believed is that all that befalls themselves is by the will of Allah Ta’a."


"And what is happening now is also the will of God, why do we worry? just run it, just accept it, it means we are sincere, if we reject it, it means we are trying to reject the provisions of God, he said, yet we never know what secrets God is planning for us"


after saying that, papa Gunawan grabbed his wife's shoulder, he asked the woman to turn to face him, the woman said, turning her body slowly.


"Just enjoy, follow the groove, which marries Cakra and Dusk, not mama and Dusk, or papa san Cakra, as we once were, who married us, not between our parents, not between our parents, even if we are not happy today, is this not our choice? even if we are happy today, this is also because we have confidently chosen it"


A smile rose behind the old face, staring in the face of his wife who had been with him for decades.


"Don't measure a person by the degree of Niar, because we were also nobody and nothing, a treasure is just a deposit, when leaving that we bring 1 piece of white cloth no more, who pray for children, sons and daughters-in-law and grandchildren, neighbors only come to help give prayers when the family holds a prayer, the rest is not there"
