God's Choice of Mate
Patience.

Not long after waiting, the doctor came out of the ICU room and met Abi. Everyone was tense for a moment and put their own sense of hearing, to listen to the doctor's words about my condition. Anxiety and worry continue to dominate every curve of facial strokes from Imandar family members.

"How's my daughter doc? Did any flights affect my daughter's condition?, "asked Ummah anxiously at the doctor.

The doctor looked at Ummah, "The patient had some injuries on his body and is now in a medical coma. Currently we are still monitoring the development of the condition of the mother's daughter, for that we continue to pray for the recovery of the mother's daughter."

The doctor explained slowly and gently to Ummah, giving hope of strength, to continue to knit in hope for my recovery.

Ummah fell silent and sat back down after the doctor passed away, the doctor said like an antidote from a bitter drink to be gulped.Although Ummah himself knew and understood, the doctor said, that the healing that came my way only had a possibility of about 1 to 5 percent.

Ummah sat still and sighed many times, trying to calm himself without breaking his tears of sadness.Ummah understood and realized very well, if life is full of ups and downs.

Without exception, everyone has their own challenges and difficulties in their lives.

These kinds of difficulties can sometimes feel very overwhelming to the point, where Ummah seems unable to find a way out of his test and begins to despair. Ummah becomes rigid and not weak again.

"How can I be this weak? If Rani alone who constantly get the endless trials of the Creator continues to fight through the critical period of his life. How can I give up like this?.The believer will never give up because of failure or misfortune that befalls him" Ummah murmured in his heart.

Abi approached Ummah and sat down next to him, clasping Ummah's fingers. The views of Ummah and Abi meet in a fulcrum of their gazes that strengthen each other.

Wirda stared at Ummah and Abi, "How can Ummah and Abi be this loud and strong, after all that happened?" Wirda said.

Rafa invited Wirda to sit back and rub Wirda's back slowly, "Because patience and steadfastness become the main weapon for Ummah and Abi to face the difficulties that hit."

Wirda fell silent and looked at the astonished face of Rafa. Until Abi who indirectly listened to the conversation Wirda and Kak Rafa also spoke to Wirda.

Wirda, Kak Rafa, Umah, Enjid and Pak Budi stared fixedly at Abi who was talking.

"Ummah and Abi, trying to think well of Allah. Dancing follows God's prescribed course and harmonizes hope with the provisions that God has prepared, " said Abi looked at Wirda for a moment and then continued his speech.

"Abi believes that after experiencing a lot of difficulties will surely come various conveniences. As Allah Ta’ala said, ". Then indeed with difficulty there is ease; indeed with difficulty there is ease .."(QS al-Inshirah: 5-6).Abi will continue to hope in God because He is the best hope. Abi will always be persistent in prayer because God knows when the best time to answer the prayer of his servant, and remove this prolonged suffering. "

The originally silent mosque also spoke in his calm self-care, "After the difficulties, sufferings and despair that our family is experiencing now, there is always the power of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala .All we have to do is make an effort for God to be present in our lives. Nothing is impossible if God wills. Then what is our reason for despair and sorrow?" asked Enjid looking at Wirda.

Wirda just silently listened to the words of Enjid with his face that looks lethargic.

"Truly His condition when He wills something is simply to say to him, 'Be'! Then it happened. So the Holy One (God) in His hand, dominion over all things and to Him you are returned." (Jasin: 82-83).Now all we can do is to work together in prayer, in order to penetrate the territory of the heavens to ask for the help of Allah Ta'ala, hoping for His power, and ask Him to be present in the midst of the problems we face. Because when He is pleased, we can not only smile because our desires are easily obtained. But ,we can also say goodbye to all our difficulties that will soon pass away, God willing, "said Enjid slowly and seriously.

Reality that happens in the middle of the Imandar family, that their faith arouses hope in the soul and prevents the coming of despair in their hearts, and their hearts firmly believe that all affairs are in the hands of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, so that they are all optimistic and kind to their Lord, and hope for the grace of goodness from His side. In front of him was the word of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala in a Qudsi hadith: "Truly I (will do against My servant) according to what My servant believes about Me…"

The belief that Enjid and Abi always instilled in the belief of the hearts of family members who are grieving.

For indeed a believer in every condition is a person who has great hope for the grace, ease, and help of God. And it depends not only on the factors of zahir effort, but his faith transcends all that by believing that the factors themselves have a creator and a cause, namely God in His hands all things. That which, when He wills, says to him: "Kun" (Be it)! Then it materialized. Thus, the heart of a believer will always be filled with trust, hope, and ideals, in accordance with the wishes of Abi who wants to see his family members patient, and patient, resistant to the test and not weak in the face of the test of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.

Wirda felt much calmer, after listening to Enjid and Abi. Now his mind and heart are stronger and more sincere in realizing all the destiny of God.

Ummah, Abi, Kak Rafa, Enjid and Pak Budi, smiled happily at Wirda's face away from the burden and restless.

Now they are all strengthening each other, and sustaining each other's weaknesses. Until the moment I woke up from the coma. They were all ready and strong enough to make me survive and live a life without Mas Fariz by my side again.
