...(.(.H.R.Tirmidhi no.2309)...
“ Just face it all, try to make peace with your heart and mind ! strengthen stance. How long will you avoid !! ?”
The words continued to buzz in Nabila's head all the way to the door of Umi Khadijah's house, forming a circle above his head that made him dizzy instantly.
Still confused about what's going on. At this time only silence that accompanies because it does not know why Zahra who is famous for being chatty and clever once melted the atmosphere, this time suddenly just slammed along without a single word.
Is she just as nervous as Nabila?
Unknowingly Nabila let out a long sigh, exhaling a heavy feeling in the chest, removing all the burden of mind. while saying Bismillah in heart. He turned his head towards Zahra and tightened his grip on her hand as he arrived in front of the whitewashed door.
Zahra turned to Nabila when Nabila's wrath got stronger, then displayed a bit of sunyum which quite managed to make Nabila's heart a little relieved.
“ All will be fine, trust me.” Zahra said she won her best friend who she knew was nervous.
Nabila nodded with a smile, leaving everything to Zahra. Believe if his chatty friend will certainly be able to overcome kedaan later in there.
”Asalamualikum.” say they are together.
“Waalaikum greetings.”
At once everyone in the living room answered their greetings with a big smile, like welcoming the arrival of someone they had been waiting for a long time. Making Nabila who was a little calm, now again feel nervous three times than before.
Don't they know? If his heart needs to be saved right now? Moreover, the gaze of everyone who was there was as if fixed only on him.
It felt like he wanted to turn his body and immediately ran away from this place right now. But that would not be possible, because Zahra's tight grip had locked onto Nabila's movement, as if his best friend knew that Nabila's mind was planning it.
In the room there are four pairs of eyes are looking at the two women with their respective gazes that are difficult to understand, making the woman berkimar coksu was horrified when she saw it.
At the window was Umi Khadijah who was sitting next to Kyai Adullah next to his right, While in the middle seat there is a man who carried Umi Khadijah earlier and under the corner seat of the room there is also the Mbok Marni sitting on the floor, who is the owner of the boarding school when Nabila mondok, also one of the witnesses of his love story with Ustadz Adam first.
“ Nduk, here sit. Surely you guys are tired after driving Umi home earlier.” Umi Khadijah said with a friendly smile, wanting to stand up from her seat to welcome the two of them, but she said when Nabila suddenly just approached her to greet her and told her to sit down.
“ Umi do not need to wake up to welcome us, genengan must take a lot of rest to get well soon.” He said with a gentle smile of attention.
Umi Khadijah smilingly nodded according to , looked at Nabila face for a while then tidied up the hijab of the twenty-seven-year-old girl who was a little messy with affection, then returned to sitting quietly.
Seeing that Umi Khadijah was already comfortable in her chair, she turned her legs three steps back to take a swipe down that was directly followed by Zahra beside her.
It is like a santri who keeps the manners of the Kyai in order to feel respected.
“ Loh? Why are you sitting down? Sit on the” protest Umi Khadijah who wants to get back to his second stand, but again canceled when Zahra shook her head and prevented it.
” Nothing Umi, let us under only. ” reply Zahra gently, making Umi Khadijah want to return to voice but prevented by Kyai Abdullah to obey only.
“Iya Umi, this besides is also a form of our return to a teacher who has taught us Science, and, being moral and good manners are obligations that we must not forget as a student, and it is as good as they are the scholars must be treated in accordance with his Rights Mi.” connect Nabila full of authority when saying that.
Kyai Adullah felt amazed when he heard Nabila's words that deserve praise, even though they have been successful but still attach importance to Adab manners in the older. Although it is not denied along with the progress of the age of understanding it is slightly eroded.
“ Just leave Mi, if they want to sit down. Just their smile.” replied Kyai Adullah mediate from a small debate that occurred between the three of them.
“Subhanallah Neng, long Mbok Marni never met the two of you, once she met, her aura was bright.” Celtap the Mok Marni looked at Nabila and also Zahra with admiration.
While the man who was next to her, just fell silent and continued to stare towards Nabila with a sharp gaze that was difficult to interpret.
Nabila only responded by smiling knots, but another case with Zahra who even replied to Mbok Marni's words. " What's the heck Mbok? bawling makstunya? " joked Zahra who published the laughter of everyone who was there.
ليس منا من لم يجل كبرنا و ير حم صغر نا و يعرف لعالمنا حقه.
which means: not belonging to our class of people who do not respect the older and love the younger and who do not understand the Rights of the Ulema. (H.R. Ahmad and Shahekih Al Albani in Shahih Al jami). “ clear Kyai Abdullah full of charisma when saying it.
Everyone who was there could only nod in understanding, for a moment everything could only remain silent but it did not last long as Umi Khadijah's voice broke the atmosphere
“ Oh yes, know this Bhintar, the eldest son of Umi and Abah who have not told me earlier in the car.” Said Umi Khadijah introducing the man who had just been silent silent not to speak.
Nabila looked up, looked at the man with both hands held in his chest and introduced himself. ” Asalamualikum, introduce me Nabila and beside me Zahra my friend.” Nabila said while holding a fast beating heart rate, feeling a change in him that somehow he did not understand.
" Yes.greetings know me Bhintar. "reply the man flatly.
Hearing the introduction of Nabila who only introduced himself with a limited name, only, making Umi Khadijah did not accept because all this time even though Ustadz Adam was gone he still considered Nabila as his candidate manant and would be so deep.
” More precise Candidate daughter-in-law Umi, fiancee your sister Adam.” The sargah was quick because it did not accept, which immediately got a hand from Kyai Abdullah to calm down.
” Umi ! “ cut him understandingly.
Everyone in the room was shocked not to play with the speech of Umi Khadijah who like to still think if Ustadz Adam was alive and was there with them, he said, making Nabila's head dizzy immediately and looking for a grip for him to lean on, because his body suddenly limp lost balance.
Fortunately, Zahra's hand immediately immediately held Nabila's back, whispering softly in the woman's ears dimmed the cheek as quietly as possible.” Loosen your mind Bil, just be normal I'm sure you can.” whispered Zahra encouragingly.
Nabila could only smile blankly, then nodded.” Yes, I know how this time I have to behave Ra.” Reply Nabila tried to harden her heart.
It turns out that all this time it was not just him who still could not forget Ustadz Adam, he said, he forgot if there was still Umi Khadijah as the biological mother who gave birth to him who of course his heart was hurt many times more than him.
Just imagine where there is a mother in this world who would be willing if their children died first before the parents? Even if they can change destiny, Nabila believes they will trade their destiny only for the happiness and longevity of the child.
Unexpectedly Nabila's eyes warmed up, ready to launch a puddle of water that had accumulated in his eye fertilizer. When suddenly remembered with the mother in jogja there who always never tired of calling himself just to remind him to keep praying, eating, and adequate rest.
Nabila so miss the soft and loving voice.
” ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ 000thickness ⁇ Quitton ” shimmies in Heart.
Zahra nudged the arm of Nabila who seemed to be daydreaming. “Bil, are you okay?” zahra asked still in a whispering voice.
Nabila blinked her eyes.” I.i.y.yes..Ra, I'm fine kok.” replied Nabila a little nervous.
“ What's better, we're going home now? It seems the situation is increasingly not conducive.” replied Zahra again in a voice that was still whispering softly.
Without replying to the words of Zahra Nabila immediately woke up from his seat by resting both knees on the floor, walking towards Umi Khadijah and also Kyai Adullah who seemed to be still arguing small that they did not understand.
Nabila is ready to lend a hand to the two former candidates-in-law was ” Umi, Abi, We both say goodbye to go home first, Umi much-bany….._”
“Gak ! “
The two young doctors looked at each other for a while, then both frowned a sign of not understanding the intent of Umi Khadijah's words.
“ Mak..maxut Umi how we do not understand.”
Umi Khadijah immediately slumped down and aligned her body with both of them, then took Nabila's hand. ” Umi please stay here one night only, Umi still miss you nduk.” Pinta's full please.
Nabila immediately made her eyes feel bad towards all the eyes that turned out to be looking at her waiting for an answer, then when her last gaze met Kyai Abdullah's eyes, then, he saw a faint nod on his old face.
Making Nabila grimace at the same time pity the former prospective in-laws who seemed to hope if Nabila would agree.
Then finally with a heavy heart Nabila was forced to nod yes, letting one more time fate mamayinkan his scenario in this place full of memories.
