Lembayung Dusk
Miss you Already..

Twilight

"Senjaa.. I may know, just yesterday what are the requirements that love you? "

"Physical exercise.. Swimming, archery and horse riding.. "

"Oh yeah? why do we have to do these 3 sports? Eh. but it is a sport that is recommended by the Prophet Salallahu 'alaihi wa sallam.. " Said as he was going to have a beard and put bread in his mouth.

We were having breakfast still in the Bromo area and soon decided to go home, and then I would take her to the airport.

"Well, I should be a mujahid.. "

"Huhuh? you want jihad? " He's up forlorn.

"I want to be a strong man who can protect you in any situation, he said, if one day God calls me to jihad, I am ready! "

"But you're not a santri in Ponpes akung! who must be able to exercise physically in order to be able to jihad. "

"We will never know the future, said akung, as Muslims, we must prepare ourselves if we believe in the End.. Qada and Qadar, who knows, Waallahu 'nature.Maybe soon the Dajjal comes and because we see now, he has spread slander that causes many Muslims to complain to each other.. and more slanders! "

"Ma is Allah.You are a week in the pesantren already know many things.. "

"There's still so much I don't know.." My memory goes back to what happened a few days ago when I wanted to cancel my marriage with Lembayung.

The flashback

5 Days before the H..

Twilight

"Assalamu'alaykum's chat.. "

"Wa'alaykumusalam.." I opened the door of the cottage and found a santri my age standing at the door.

"Eh..Afwan mas, called Gus Ummar to visit his residence."

"Well..with mom? " Tanyaku.

"No need to, he said himself. Mari Ana antar.. "

I followed him from behind, after passing through several separate santri and santriwati cottages.we walked to a large hut several times with the cottage I was staying at.

"Asalamu'alaykum Gus's.. Ustadz Miftah's! " Hail the santri while bowing his body and greeting.

"Wa'alaykumusalam warrahmatulli.. " Akung Lembayung and ustadz Miftah answered their greetings.

"Int Dusk.. JazakaAllah khiran Alif. You can go back to the cottage! " his orders.

"Na'am Gus's.. Assalamu'alaykum's! "

"Wa'alaykumusalam warrahmatullah.."

"Senja.. introduce this ustadz Miftah.. ustadz. it's Dusk! "

"We met last night Yai. ana drove up to the cottage. " Answer ustadz Miftah.

Akung Lembayung nodded.

"Ohh yes. yes, then Dusk, I want to talk about the terms of me so that you can be accepted as Zauji Lembayung ..! "

Ustadz Miftah was aghast. Sometimes staring at me.

"Good mhhm.ki-kiayi.. " I was nervous.

"Call me! " His orders are firm.

"Good.. "

"Well..Dusk, Ustadz Miftah is a graduate of Faculty S1 of Ushuluddin Department of Tafsir Al-Azhar Mansoura University of Egypt, with the title 'Mumtaz' or Cum Laude.. "

"Actually honestly I was disappointed after hearing the story from my son.and as Akung Lembayung definitely wanted the best for my grandson, I actually already had a superior candidate of my choice to be his companion, he said,the Ustadz Miftah. "

Degs..

Again and again I gasp.

"But it is only the desire of my heart personally.However, I want my grandchildren to get a worthy companion, who can guide him either the world or the hereafter. "

"Ustadz Miftah earlier I apologized for refusing to answer antum questions yesterday, because as I have explained. "

Ustadz Miftah lowered his head.

"Afwan jiddan Yai. ana is late, ana plans to immediately preach the Lembayung deck after she graduates school.. " Sendu.

"If Dusk has been chosen by the Lembayung deck as his companion, In shea Allah ana learned to sincerely accept Yai.. "

"Na'am ..ana understand, can anyone help Yai? "

"I'd like.. Dusk became a Mujahid and Muhaajir"

Deg.

A mujahid? Will I be sent to Palestine for jihad?

Muhaajir's?

I frowned. Uncomprehending.

"For now, while the time of physical exercise, because there are only a few days to the wedding. I want to antum train her riding, archery and swimming.. ! I want the person who is the companion of my grandson to be strong and courageous, if one day God will call him to jihad, then he must be the vanguard who fights for the religion of God. Next time let me think again.. "

"Na'am.then excuse me Yai. .mau to prepare for the needs of Dusk...Assalamu'alaykum's chat. " Ustadz Miftah said goodbye with a little bowing and said hello, Adab santri to the teacher.

"Monday.. "

"Yeah akung.. "

"I hope from now on you can learn to be a mujahid and a Muhaajir.. "

"Sorry, I don't understand.. "

"To be a Mujahid is someone who sacrifices himself because of Allah ‘Azza Wa Jalla (the Almighty Again the Most Noble)."

"While Muhaajir is a person who migrates to the Sunnah and shuns (leaves) the evil."

"I know very little about your past.To be a companion of Lembayung, I want you to change for the better.especially change because of God.it is the most important thing."

I'm nodding.

"For now, to be a mujahid here is jihad in another way.that is, to do devotional deeds that are equivalent to Jihad, such as Birrul Walidain, therefore, working to find sustenance in order to meet the needs of your own life, family, and both parents is your duty. " Aung stopped for a moment.

"Demand Science Syar’i or teach it...Hajj and Umrah..Have you ever been to Jerusalem?" Ask Akung.

I shook my head.

"If there is age and sustenance, one day God will take your wife and child there..! "

"There are so many jihad that we can do, besides Jihad fii Sabiilillaah in the special sense that is to fight with weapons.and for that you will learn later! "

The first day of physical training was to test my ability to swim at a depth of 3 meters with a distance of several hundred meters. I can go through it easily because it is used to swimming in the vast ocean since childhood.

The second day, is archery.Maybe many people who consider archery as a static sport, but this activity really needs strength, endurance, and focus.Many benefits of archery sports that can improve balance, namely, eye and hand coordination, focus, flexibility, and upper body strength.

The third day was the toughest day because I had to fight the only sport I avoided the most, which was horse riding.

Because when I was a child, I was riding a horse while in Sumbawa.

The main key that a novice horse rider must possess is courage and calmness. At that time, I was just a child and never rode a horse because I didn't have one. Not like the kids in my village who have it on average.

The fact is, horses can detect the vibration of the body riding it, so when there is fear, the horse will feel the same.

It also happens that the horse has temperamental properties, so I can not control.

I got mired in the ravine, which fortunately only caused a few bruises. But since then I no longer want to ride horses and more and more reasons for them to make me the object of the shelter.

Flashback off

***

I remember when I said that all this time, he had betrothed Lembayung to ustadz Miftah.

And I will continue to fight to maintain this relationship.

"You're my main reason to keep fighting my fears.. " I stroked the head of Lembayung.

"Thank you. have accepted me Lembayung.. In the Lord I promise to change for the better. "

"You have to take good care of yourself here.. BEware that you smoke too much! it's even better to stop! trus do not forget to keep me connected. mornings at night.you again where and why! "

I smile at the smile.

"I'm here for only 1 week, but I feel like I'll never see you in a year.. " I said, we walked back to the parking lot and clasped the soft hand tighter.

"Only 1 week Dusk...."

Only 1 week but before we parting.. I miss you already..
