Light For Gus Mu
Chapter 36: Friend eating
”I'm healthy Gus, thank you for being an encouragement, even though Gus himself who needs it much more. Be patient until God brings us together. The spirit of his work, do not daydream, I do not want Gus why-why. The situation is still the same, I continue to be tailed, overestimated. My family's loud, I told you this. The world is everything, the one that governs happiness is money. That's what my family believed all along, may Gus be strong huh. We've come a long way, fighting for blessing. Do not let small problems become the destroyer of everything. Healthy yes Gus, wassalamu'alaikum.” Shafiyah smiled, she folded the paper to reply to the letter from Wafi. It feels back to ancient times, where the means of communication love is a letter of correspondence.
”May this letter reach your hands yes Gus,” said Shafiyah whispered, then rubbed the letter.

Elsewhere, Wafi was raising his hand. Praying and asking for the best way for her love story, she was afraid of adding to her sins and choosing the wrong path. The more trials in her romance story, the more determined her heart is to fight. Whatisthis? an increasingly strong sense, is this a clue that he continues to fight for Shafiyah? he wants Shafiyah, because marriage is not one or two days. Marriage is a sacred and sacred bond, and she wants her love story to be firmly tied in the jijab qobul she speaks.
When she finished, Wafi wiped her tears. Afsheen's marriage was soon, the girl even more silent. His relationship with his sister was not good, plus his relationship with Shafiyah. If he keeps thinking, he could go crazy for it.
”When I forsake You, O God, because I know You have never forsaken your servant, a sin-stained servant. In his old age, Umi was still busy thinking about his children, who did not get along, who would get married, and other affairs. Servants need a wife who is patient on the condition of the servant, who can accept the family of the servant. If it's Shafiyah, please God. Make it easy for us to be together, to worship together only with You. Soften, subdue, and pledge the Shafiyah family, in order to receive servants," murmured Wafi. His fingers continued to stall the prayer beads, to recite, to ask for the calmness of his tired soul.
Some people noticed, some were mocking, because Gus mu was undaunted to get Shafiyah.
”Aidan just not glimpsed at all, let alone him. Dream height,” said a santri whose mouth leaked.
”Hush, later Gus Mu denger berabe," rebuked another.
The next day, at the college. Ima received a letter from Shafiyah, which she had to give to Wafi. Shafiyah and Ima were having lunch together in the cafeteria. Shafiyah really missed the pesantren atmosphere, but there was no way she could get there. It could be dangerous, and Wafi will be exposed to the sap.
”What's up in pesantren?” shafiyah and Ima smiled.
”Nothing, as usual.”
”How many santriwati will be present when Gus mu teaches?” shafiyah asked again, she was worried because not everyone could accept Gus Mu.
”Makin added, do not worry yes,” said Ima comforting and Shafiyah nodded.
”She must be upset with all santriwati,” said Shafiyah sounded annoyed and jealous.
”Yes she is handsome, her salary is also pinter,” praise Ima and Shafiyah smile widely, when can she boast Wafi as her husband? having such a husband, it is the dream of girls who are far more concerned with the best captains to lead to heaven, rather than being leaders for worldly affairs alone.
”Eh yes, Khalisah has moved. He lives not far from the pesantren, right ustadz Chairil has an empty house not far from the pesantren,” said Ima and Shafiyah speech silent." Don't let him come to the pesantren and make a tantrum again.”
”I'm so worried about Gus Mu if this is Ima.” Shafiyah panicked, and was afraid that Khalisah's mouth hurt Mu.
”No, it is impossible ustadz Chairil only if his wife is so.” Ima assured, grabbed Shafiyah's hand and grasped it. Shafiyah was silent and daydreaming.
”Gus, I hope Gus can be strong if Khalisah acts again. I am far away, please take good care of yourself,” muttered Shafiyah. After the conversation was over, the two left. Time passed by, and the afternoon came. Wafi was already impatient to get a reply letter from Shafiyah. When Ima came home, Ima stepped towards Bu nyai's house, to give the letter to Bayyin for Wafi.
”Ima!" call Raihanah. Ima was surprised and silently stared. Raihanah smiled and approached the girl slowly.
”Assalamu'alaikum Bu nyai,” says Raihanah.
”Wa'alaikumus Salaam,” reply Raihanah.” I want to chat with you,” said Raihanah and Ima nodded. Ima silently listened to Raihanah's request, the woman asked Ima. Will Ima be with her son Wafi? the girl unhesitatingly nodded in agreement, Raihanah looked delighted. And asked Ima to ask her family if she could accept her son, an ex-convict. If Ima's family agrees, the marriage will take place soon.
Bayyin who just returned home to teach confusion, seeing the closeness of his umin and Ima.
”To why?” bayyin whispered. Ima looked farewell to Raihanah and then waltzed away. Bayyin stepped closer to uminya and Raihanah was silent." Assalamu'alaikum umi.”
” Wa'alaikumus Salaam neng," replied Raihanah with a smile.
”Tadi Ima why from here?" asked Bayyin, he was tense and afraid that a reply from Shafiyah was accepted uminya, clearly generally forbid Wafi to have any more contact with Shafiyah.” She thanks what?” bayyin asked directly with a voice almost choked.
”Not giving anything, umi just asked her. He wants or does not like you, thank God he wants. Hopefully his family will not refuse ya," said Raihanah and Bayyin's eyes rounded. Whatisthis? that is how much he generally disagrees with Shafiyah. What is Shafiyah's fault? why did the girl get affected, even though Shafiyah also liked her brother.
”Asstaghfirullah umi, aa don't want to be with other girls. You want the same Shafiyah, umi is the same? pity aa mi, he never asked for anything, and instead often think of us, my happiness, Niyyah the same umi she used to think, this time aa want to set happiness for her own, this time aa want to set happiness for her, that's good, right? we should support, until there is a decision, either Shafiyah continued or nyerah," said Bayyin rasak. If Wafi knew, the man must have been very sad.
”It is precisely because umi thinks of your sister's happiness, Ima well. We all know him, he's a good match for Wafi. Umi also said, if it is already married, Ima must be veiled. He wants it, he doesn't refuse at all.”
”No one will reject the men of all the children of umi, Bayyin is also a woman who is handsome, who is ordinary, whose dreams are ordinary. Aa is handsome, and the girl now only sees that, but Shafiyah appreciates a sincere Wafi. Not because of the appearance, the appearance can be damaged, but the sincere feeling is not umi.” Bayyin almost cried, his voice trembled, his body broke out in cold sweat, he was disappointed by his general unilateral decision. Raihanah remained silent, sitting limp and Bayyin approached her. But Raihanah will not change her decision, for the matter of Wafi has not loved Ima, with over time, love and affection will grow.
”Sorry Fiyah," said the girl. Then grasping the letter until it became a ball, he threw it into the trash, then went into the dormitory with a wander.
At nightfall, the air is so hot tonight. Wafi stood bare-chested, staring out the wide-open window of his room, the night wind coming in. His face showed sadness, there was no reply from Shafiyah yet. He was worried and did he have to go to Dawn's house? he was the same as giving his life. Dawn could have made him come to throw him back in jail, the man could have done anything for money. And very likely, it could kill anyone who approached his little sister.
”What are you doing there? I'm worried,” Wafi said. The sound of her bedroom door being opened made her turn around, Bayyin entered and Wafi noticed.
”Bayyin to say,” says Bayyinah.
”Why?" ask Wafi. Bayyin finally told him everything, Wafi looked down lethargic and disappointed at his umi. If Shafiyah found out, the girl would definitely be very disappointed.

The next day, Shafiyah did not get a reply, Ima even avoided it. Is something going on? until his best friend was like that to him. Shafiyah was now standing, waiting for Ima to ask her about the man she loved. She felt that she had done nothing wrong, and there was no way that her brother Fajar knew she was still in contact with Wafi, unless someone told her. The only ones who know between Wafi, Shafiyah, Bayyin and Ima.
”I will wait for you Ima,” he said slowly.
His struggle did not disappoint either. He saw Ima, but the girl immediately dodged. Shafiyah walked over quickly, catching up with her best friend. He grabbed and pulled out Ima's hand.
”Leave Fiyah!" scream Ima.
”I want to say, just for a minute. Why are you really?” shafiyah's voice was slow because she did not want to be the center of attention. Ima brushed off Shafiyah's hand violently and Shafiyah was surprised.
”Do not disturb me.” Ima was so sniffy, her gaze was so sharp that she looked at Shafiyah.
”Iya sorry, did Gus Mu reply to my letter yesterday?” shafiyah said well, only Ima can she rely on.
”Not exist, and there will never be another letter from Gus Mu.”
”What do you mean Ima?”
”I'm with Gus Mu in a match,” said Ima then turned his face away.
The deg! Shafiyah flinched, like being struck by lightning in broad daylight, what news is this? the man she loves with her best friend? his heart was sore, his chest tight, trying to hold back his tears was free. Her tears just fell.
”Don't joke Ima, don't do this,” Shafiyah said hoarsely. I love to joke, but this time the jokes are not funny at all.
”I'm serious, I'm the same Gus Mu wants to get married. My family also agreed, sorry Shafiyah. I hope you want to come to our wedding,” Ima said. He grabbed Shafiyah's right hand slowly, his lips kept smiling and it was very painful for Shafiyah.” Be patient, I'm sure you can take your Gus off for me. I liked Gus Mu a long time ago, but he likes you. But I chose Miss directly. You should look for a rich man, so that no other family is insulted by your family,” said Ima while smiling wryly, Shafiyah pulled her hand and Ima kept smiling.
”You know that I like Gus Mu like each other, why don't you refuse Ima? you evil know not,” Shafiyah's voice is so heavy and Ima noticed it.” Gus you won't want to be with you.”
”Who said? you know for yourself, Gus Mu love very much the same Nyai. And ma'am nyai choose me, forget everything Shafiyah.” Pinta Ima and Shafiyah wiped away her tears, but there were more and more. He turned around, unable to deal with Ima any longer.
”You received another girl Gus? keep me, umi you yourself chose Ima. It was natural, a mother would never be able to accept her son being insulted. My family's been so wrong with you, I'm sorry. But why should my own best friend hiks,,, I'm not strong.” Shafiyah continued to step away, the scorching sun making her head suddenly pulsate. His gaze was suddenly blurry, his breathing was hunting and stinginging, Shafiyah was holding her chest. Both of his eyes closed slowly.
Brug! her body collapsed on the sidewalk, Ima turned her head and was surprised to see Shafiyah faint.
”Shafiyah fainted!" rosa screams in panic, and runs to help Shafiyah. Farel who was there immediately approached, wanting to touch Shafiyah but in Aidan's way.
”Don't touch him!" firmly Aidan and Rosa immediately grabbed Shafiyah's body, she turned to look at Ima who was just silent, did the girl have no intention to help her own friend? both of them even lived in the same room all this time." Nur lift Nur!" nur nodded and the other two women helped. Aidan did not allow Farel to get close, he stopped the taxi and Shafiyah was brought in. Shafiyah had a decline in health, when she was stressed she often fainted, this had happened several times when she had difficulty adjusting to the pesantren environment at that time. As a child, Shafiyah was sickly. And now all the burdens of the agonizing mind make it fall back.
In the pesantren, Wafi patted his chest. Ikhsan and Rama noticed it, both worried and approached.
”So you're sick?" asked Ikhsan and Wafi shook his head.
”Hufff...” Wafi let out a coarse breath, regulating his suddenly stinged breath. Anxiety enveloped, he looked agitated and continued to pat his chest. His heart was racing, it was uncomfortable and extremely agonizing.
”Wafi." Ikshan said then shook Wafi's shoulder. Wafi shook his head and kept his head down." Istighfar,” Ikhsan said again.
”Asstaghfirullah thing adzim,” said Wafi constantly. Wafi took off her pecans, firmly gripping her hair. He was worried about Shafiyah, somehow the girl's current state, not even the letter was replied to by the girl.
