Aisyah could not forget that fateful day, all her life, when her mother cried out against the sound of rain in the room while pointing to the window, his Uncle Sharif ran from inside the kitchen still holding a cup of hot coffee, it seemed like he had just brewed coffee for himself.
"Aaaaaa..aaaaa..please..toloooooong, my son, my son.he flew...!"
Atifa shouted with big round eyes and red pointing towards the outside of the window.
Faiq was face down on the ground, without a sound, the heavy rain made him like a drenched puppet.
The special child, his fate was tragic, died thrown by his own mother from the window, even though their house was not terraced but the tiny baby hit the edge of the terrace, and the little baby, that vulnerable and weak little body was helpless, he might not even have time to feel pain.
Sharif howled like a madman unconsciously throwing his coffee glass and jumping through the window that was without the trellis.
The mournful cry of Sharif in the rain, hugging and shaking the baby in his arms, red in the rain wash. Faiq didn't move anymore.
Sharif cried as he could, while running to the nearest puskesmas hoping that Faiq could be saved but God said another, he who gave, he was the one who had the right to take. I don't know what God's plan was, but the light to bring Faras back to Atifa seems to have to be extinguished, all the bad memories embedded in the image of Faiq over Faras, God took back.
Atifa lost her sanity because of love.
That memory, felt like a ghost, sometimes passed in Aisyah's memory until she grew up. And every time those memories passed by he could only close his eyes. Aisyah could never really stop forgetting every memory of it, even though she always said,
"Every bad memory forgets it, don't remember it if your heart hurts. If you can't really forget, pretend to forget. God gives trials and hard life experiences always have a purpose, even if you reject them, the trials will come to anyone. But they never come without reason, there is always a good thing to be gained from an ordeal that comes and goes."
"So how could I forget? The pale but bloody face of Faiq I always saw even though my eyes were closed. I hate mom, she's been throwing my sister."
"Son, no matter what your mother is, she's still your mother. Do not hate it because it makes you entangled in the bitter root, especially do not ever hate God because of the pain you experience. Bring yourself closer to Allah, in full submission, let God set all His plans for your life. If you stay away from God because of the test of your life, that's what makes you feel like your mother, lost herself, lost in her own grief."
Aisyah knew how great the test of life her uncle had experienced, from losing both of their parents when she was a teenager, to taking care of her sister, Atifa was still a child and when God gave her happiness with the presence of Asniah, her aunt Aisyah, the wife she loved so much, but all did not last long. Her aunt was sick for nearly five years in paralysis later, dying in her arms while returning home from tarawih prayers, leaving behind a young princess.
There is no one as good as the uncle Sharif who is now called that brother, when he struggled in the difficulties of life, he said, his mother and he became a burden to his uncle when his father abandoned them just in the middle of the night blind.
And finally, her daughter Rahimah, Aisyah's older cousin died with her husband, in a bus accident on the way after returning from Rahimah's husband's village.
And the secret of why he has remained sane until now through all the trials of his life, he gave his life in full into the hands of God, the God he loved so much.
"Why does God always give a hard test in our lives? Does God not love us? Other people never experience the bitterness that God inflicts on us?" Sometimes Aisha asked Abah that.
"Everyone has their own test in life. We cannot compare the tests we have with the tests that others face. Everyone has a different dose. Everyone must have a life problem, the only difference is how they deal with it."
"How to deal with it, Isah felt Isah could not deal with it, abah. Sometimes Isah was afraid and tired of what was happening."
"Son, hold on to Allah, and you will not fear, the Lord will not be wrong in giving tests. If you can't afford it, he won't give it to you. Why have you been chosen to go down this difficult path, because Allah knows you are the right person to go through it. Complaining will never be able to improve the situation, so just keep facing it, while thinking, while persevering so that we are stretched out, given sincerity and patience." The man who looked older was always giving strength to Aisyah.
"There are many ways to go through a test. So face it calmly and confidently. The trials in life will lead you to a better life. Make you level up as a human, and prepare to reap your rewards in the future. Rain may be heavy, he may bring lightning and storms with him but no rain will not stop. So patience..."
Aisha was full of advice from her uncle and father, so she grew up as a strong girl. A beautiful girl who is sincere and strong in the crush of trauma and difficulties of life.
"So, my son Isah, the more God loves a person, the more the test he is given may be more severe. For the test will increase its degree and glory before God."
"It feels like God is not fair, brother.Isah's friend in school is more dear to God, Ninis from childhood is always happy, happy, her parents were complete, no one left and no one had a mental breakdown like her mother. Ninis is also his sister two, twin and funny. They have a car, a big house. It seems that God loves Ninis more than Aisha." Aisha used to protest about this to Abah.
"Son Isah, the people whom Allah loves the most are the Prophets and the Apostles. They are the hardest people to receive tests during their lives. Even if you know what you want, the test of their lives is much harder than the test given to other humans. Have you ever heard of the story of the prophet Job? in one of these prophets Allah SWT tested him with poverty after taking all his wealth. The prophet Job was also in a state of famine and endured a very severe illness for decades, but he remained patient. He still gave his life to God in submission without ever getting bad at it. And finally God restored his happiness multiplied and increased its degree."
"Obah, I also want to believe like the prophet Job...."
