LAILA TO KANG ROHIM
EPISODE 23 Munajat Love A Mother

In the afternoon at the Nurul Iman mosque. Mukidi was shocked because the faucet on the water was open. The water looks to flow. And as he looked into the ablution water tank. He patted his forehead.

"This must be a water boy. The faucet's not closed anymore."

He took the key of Rohim's house from his pocket. When he entered the house he passed through Rohim's room. Rohim who had opened the curtain because the wife was sweating and feeling hot, it made Mukidi stop in front of the room.

He looks into the room which is also often his bed when he was recently friends with Mukidi. Even in that room he once enjoyed a cigarette that only stayed with Rohim. They smoke cigarettes in turn. Because it was late at night and no stalls were still open.

Mukidi leaned on the door frame of the room that had not and the leaves were.

"Ah. when yes you newlyweds sleep on that mattress kang. The mattress that also must have been my former iler." Mukidi spoke for herself.

He remembers very well during the month of Ramadan. If he does not come home when Rohim reads the Qur'an in the mosque he who is sometimes tired of playing Onet, will sleep in Rohim's room and in his best friend's bed. And the best friend will sleep on a carpet or mat.

Mukidi also passed, he lived the water. While waiting for a full water reservoir. He who pranks open some books or books on the bookshelf located on the right side of the computer desk. There's a piece of paper from inside a fallen we. A piece of paper is like a brochure but the writing is black and white.

..."A student cannot gain knowledge, except those who glorify knowledge and respect the learned ones, namely the scholars....

...**Honor the scholars because they are the heirs of the prophets. Whoever glorifies them has glorified Allah and His Messenger....

...(.(.This hadith narrated by al-Khatib al-Baghdadi is sourced from Jabir**.)...

Mukidi also read up to three times in the paragraph that there is a fragment of the sentence. He sits on a chair. He imagined the figure of Rohim. For almost four years they were close, sometimes sleeping together. Even Mukidi can do prayer, accustomed to eating with trays or lesehan with Rohim. He also gained a lot of knowledge just by sitting down and drinking coffee or chatting in Rohim's room while enjoying a cigarette until morning arrived. From the stories of the prophet or his friend. He who never mondok, and did not sit in the assembly of taklim but get knowledge from Rohim without him knowing.

Mukidi was pensive from reading that sentence.

"Kang Rohim is a learned person, do I lack respect for Kang Rohim so it is very difficult to learn tajwid?"

Mukidi is indeed a little difficult to learn to read the Qur'an with true tajwid science. From how many taklim assemblies made by Rohim. Mukidi only follows the one who learned to read the Qur'an in the time after Isha.

When the water is full, Mukidi goes back into Rohim's house. He turned off the water machine inside the house.

When he arrived at his house, Mukidi saw his mother who was about to lift the mattress that had just been sunbathed. He half ran towards his mother.

"Here Mak. Let me just."

Bu Sri just stared at Mukidi's back. That one-year-old boy has changed a lot. Mukidi is more gentle in her speech, be on her. Moreover, his child did not need to bother in order if he was busy. His son will be happy to help him. I don't know what that bustle is.

It certainly can not be separated from the role of Rohim as a friend who is always on the sidelines of discussions with Mukidi almost every night. He always talked about those who loved mother, those who glorified God for loving, honoring mother.

But today God opens the door of Mukidi's heart without passing through Rohim. He who has read a piece of paper about the virtue of loving, serving those with knowledge. Makes him restless too. Because all this time he often joked even bother Rohim. He even used to prank Rohim. The clock in Rohim's room he turned faster one hour so that Rohim was confused when he was going to the Adhan.

Arriving inside the house, Mukidi sat in the kitchen. He opened the Rice hood. It looks like a ruby stone containing cayenne pepper and garlic that has been ground with salt and then given oil. And a plate of tofu is also tempe.

Mukidi also eats voraciously. Her mother made the child coffee. Bu Sri always made his son's coffee because he was used to it. If first the child will yell if asked to make coffee. But almost a year or two this Bu Sri happily made the child drink.

That is because the child who also shows love to the mother, shows obedience in everyday life. So the mother also gives her affection through things that make her child happy too.

When sitting near the kitchen door. Bu Sri also lifted her stove. He will replace the axis on the stove that has been short. Mukidi who had just eaten while enjoying a cigarette also forbade his mother to do that.

"Wes Mak's. Let me change the wick later. Mak Just rest. Or take a shower. Because soon enough Mak's adhan." Mukidi said to her mother.

"Yo wes, you just take a break. It's been all day in the mosque." Answer Ms. Sri.

He did not know if in the mosque the child if he had swept and mopped the mosque, he would play games in a small room at the back of the mosque.

"Wes here don't help Mak."

Bu Sri just resigned. He looked at Mukidi who was sweating because he had just eaten rice with his favorite menu, namely cayenne pepper and fried tempeh.

Mukidi who from earlier thought of Rohim who was newly married, he felt sorry to see his best friend who for him was a teacher.

"Think opo anyway Di?" Tanya Bu Sri saw her son sighed many times even though the stove was easily replaced by his axis.

"Thinking Kang Rohim Mak." Mukidi replied as she pulled the new stove wick using pliers.

"Well, think of the newlyweds. You want to marry that too?"

Mukidi smiled at Madam Sri.

"Where would anyone want to be with this child Mak e. It's black, lazy, poor Mak." Answer Mukidi is still focused on the axis of the stove that was victorious in his time.

"Duh Gusti.... give a soul mate to my child who loves him sincerely, and can make my child happy like he now always make me happy..." Inner Bu Sri in her heart was still staring at the child.

Finish cleaning and replacing the stove axis. Mukidi lifted the stove back into place.

Mukidi is enjoying her coffee.

"Mom, you have a stash of money?" Mukidi asked Bu Sri while enjoying her coffee.

"Well, what is it for? Yesterday you Mak kasih pas already harvest he said to Mak only."

Bu Sri pulled out a chair and sat down in front of Mukidi.

"So this is Mak. Tomorrow Rohim's kang will come home. Well, I turned on the water machine. Poor thing Mak. The mattress, still the former mattress Mak. Enough for one person. Poor Mak."

"Abah Ucup and his wife did not bring a mattress?"

"Yes, I don't know Mak. But if you look at Neng Laila, eleven twelve are the same as Rohim. I won't say if I'm asked. Lah yesterday it was loh kang Rohim to just want to treat me minus my money. She is the newlywed Mak."

Ms. Sri is also mangosteen.

"That spirit from the first came to this village until now it is not fickle huh that's it. Yes, by the way, how to dress. The body."

"So you have money? I borrowed it first, Mak. Make a mattress buy kang Rohim the same buy three sheets of board and wood. That's Rohim's room there's no door yet, Mak."

Bu Sri who felt that his son changed a lot due to associating with Rohim.he was also sorry Rohim finally took the initiative to open his piggy bank.

He went to his room and came back with a book in which there was a lot of money in the bookcases.

"This is Mak's plan to buy a chair for the living room klo Lebaran later. But I think Rohim needs more. Maybe enough to buy a mattress and board. Don't be behind. Wes help Rohim." Bu Sri was clear.

Mukidi gawking in disbelief. His mother will nag not already if it's money business. This the mother voluntarily gave her money to buy a mattress and board.

But in his heart it turns out that his mother is trying to expect her son to be a child of Sholeh through shodaqoh which he intended for the child. It was not realized by Ms. Sri because she never attended the study. But his heart and himself are applying one of the things when people have a wish. It is almsgiving or giving up property. While Mukidi's intention without him knowing he is wanting to glorify the knowledge or teacher for himself.

"May my son be the son of Sholeh Gusti. May my son tomorrow also meet a good soul mate. Give Gusti...." Munajat Bu Sri in his heart.
