Household Fighters

Household Fighters
Part 2's.


A few months at home have made me better understand the circumstances of life.


This is when I realized that life is not just a time travel to the future, every second of time that passes then every creature will experience a process in their respective lives which of course with various challenges and obstacles according to their respective portions as well.


Now is the time to practice all the material that has been learned while still in the process of learning from childhood to adulthood, be it material from formal or nonformal education.


Then now is the time I will measure the extent to which I have mastered science, because the true education is not just material that is heard and then transferred in the form of notes on the sheets of paper then it will be dull and obsolete eaten time but real education is what is attached in the mind and able to be put into practice in this real life process.


I'll do everything I can and I'll enjoy every process, I am sure that after this storm of trials and obstacles I will pass one day I will wake up in my loveliest morning with all the experiences I have in a better version.


Maybe someday I will tell all these processes to my children as an additional supply of knowledge for their lives.


Today I have entered into that process, the process by which I have chosen to fight.


Yes, I have become a warrior. Struggle to achieve a dream to have a safe household, mawaddah, warahmah.


Still firmly attached to the memory in my heart where I as a girl who almost finished undergraduate education just by doing a graduation event and waiting for a diploma out, just to get out, I have officially received a proposal from a man whom I believe will be a good priest for me and our children.


No, I wish for him, it is enough to lead me closer to my Lord so that my relationship with beings will also be better. That's all I dreamed of after living with him.


What I know my future husband at that time was not a businessman or a position owner with all the brilliant charm that was able to captivate the world with perfection, he is just a young village man whose days are full of zeal and close to the owner of life.


He was just a simple man from the village who had been able to strengthen my heart to fight together to sail the ark of life after several times I had mingled at the end of the night with tears begging for clues to the owner of the heart.


I have chosen it over some men who have tried to establish a relationship with me that looks more established material. Not because I do not need the material, but I am sure if we do not stop trying and always get closer to the owner of the material itself then by itself what is needed will be fulfilled.


I really like the simple nature of his simplicity, he is honest and very diligent. That's how I've been watching all along.


For several months I was in his village while undergoing a community service program, a duty from the campus that we must follow. I have never seen or heard from the public that he ever left his duty to the creator, even he is often an example to others.


Several times we passed through his place of work, in the garden and the simple workshop of the village. I saw that simple man so diligent.


Even one day I was caught often watching this man I admired so much when visiting the plantation area, one of the garden workers teased me. The gardener told him what he knew at a glance about the good man he had known for a long time.


In accordance with the words of a planter, as long as he knew him he had never heard the man betray the trust of others, as long as he knew him, though his work is often directly related to a trust from the surrounding residents such as managing plantations or rice fields of residents or even he is often given the mandate to buy goods deposit from the city with money it belongs to the people in large numbers.


From the planter I also know that he at night is usually a routine activity teaching religious knowledge to the children around, he said, and more interestingly he did the activity without charging fees from children who came to study. Only with sincerity was he able to live this kind of thing.


It is amazing that I am amazed at this man I just knew named Ahmad, because I think in this day and age it is a very rare thing to meet a young man like him.


I really am interested in handsome men like my friends who admire the cast of Korean dramas they often watch, not my type likes a handsome face without knowing the background.


Why admire and flatter when we know he is a person who does not know the limits of life, does not know God, and does not accept reality. It is a shame that a person who is often praised turns out to be a person who endures in great sin and does not even seem to regret all his sins.


After knowing the figure of this Ahmad bang, in my prayer after doing some rakaat my duty as a follower of this last celestial religion I always took the time to ask the almighty to be blessed with a soul mate like bang Ahmad.


Not too long did I say the same prayer stanzas every time I finished my prayer, the end of the prayer was also fulfilled. I am truly grateful for the grace of Allah.swt who has given me a partner who is not 'like' bang Ahmad but directly bang Ahmad itself.


It was so happy to have a companion who was so close to his Lord, that I too might be like him.


I think when someone is so close and loyal to the creator of everything in the universe, he said, then he will think repeatedly to do bad to the creation of its creator including the couple and his descendants later. I hope that Ahmad will continue to be a good person as I know him today.


Until now my assessment of bang Ahmad has not been different even though I admit living in his parents' house at this time is not an easy thing to live, especially with my situation in a two-body state.


"I must be strong because I believe my God has never given the trials of life beyond the abilities of his servants", such is a series of sentences that have always been my mainstay in the heart when fatigue and sadness fill my days.


That sentence was a lesson and even as a special stamina for my heart, a sentence I got from a piece of verse in my religious scriptures.


Yes, this is one of the lessons that is still a permanent memory in my heart and mind until this moment.


Surah Al-baqarah verse 286 "Laa yukallifulahu nafsan illa wus'aha", this verse has been memorized since I was a child who has not been able to distinguish between eels and snakes.


Thank God, today I realize that what I learned as a child is now the time to bring and practice in my life.
