Loving Husband Interlude
04. Dreamtime

Najwa was restless, two more days were completed in undergoing Istikharah prayers in search of instructions regarding Azam's request. There has not been any sign, such as a belief in the heart or a dream as a sign. And tonight, Najwa returned to perform Istikharah prayers again for the last time.

He hopes there is a hint of keyakina heart after performing the prayer istikharah. If there is still no indication of anything, then everything will he leave to his brother.

"O Allah, may You guide me one last time." murmured Najwa.

Lama Najwa to pray and dhikr, he also prank open the Qur'an accidentally. He counted the number of kho and shiin letters in that one opening. The letter kho marks if what he will do back with Azam is good. And the syiin signifies bad if he does Azam's wish.

He counted all the letters, which was more between the two hijaiyah letters. According to the teacher taught him, it can be done for istikharah. But not necessarily accurate results.

Up to three times open the Qur'an hasipnya indeed more syiin letters. Najwa let out a long sigh, there was disappointment in his heart. It turns out the results are less good.

"Is this the lead?" najwa said slowly.

"But, like this, the results are less accurate than the prayer istikharah" said Najwa again.

Najwa yawned, he closed his Qur'an and lay down for a moment to bargain for his drowsiness that attacked him. Najwa fell asleep on his tongue curled up.

In his subconscious, Najwa meets Azam. Memories with Azam when he was a husband and wife just passed by in Najwa's dream. He was happy to be back with Azam. Days passed, until one day Azam brought a man whom Najwa had met when he was Azam's wife.

"Who is he?" ask Najwa in the dream.

Azam just smiled, he brought the man to greet Najwa. Najwa was silent, he saw the man. His face was shady and calm, while Azam was silent when Najwa did not receive the man's hand.

Then Azam left, looking at Najwa in annoyance. But he left Najwa and the man he had brought.

"Mas Azam, don't go!" najwa shouted in her sleep.

"Mas Azam!"

Brak!

The door of Najwa's room opened, and Dila looked at her son who was asleep on the prayer mat. Umi Dila approached and woke up Najwa who was still trapped in his dream.

"Najwa! Get up son." said Umi Dila shaking Najwa's arm.

"Najwa!"

"Byeah!"

Najwa opened her eyes, she was shocked and looked at Umi Dila. Then he got up from his sleep and then took up a serighfar.

"Astaghfirullahal adziim" said Najwa slowly as he rubbed his face.

"You why Najwa?" ask umi Dila worried.

"Ngga nothing umi. Maybe I overslept so it was a bad dream." replied Najwa.

"How bad dream?" ask Dila again.

"Either umi, I don't understand. Maybe because of sleep after prayer and before dawn, it became a bad dream" said Najwa had not dared to tell about his dream.

"You are just there. Let's wake up again, you take the water again and continue the morning prayer. Umi also wants to go to the bathroom, but hear you scream. So umi went into your room" said Dila.

Najwa smiled faintly, she then nodded. Then take off his face and immediately rise to take water again. Continue praying Isya and continue to dwell in the kitchen as usual.

One week, Najwa prayed istikharah. He concluded that the dream last night was a clue for him. But he was confused by the dream, if the dream was a clue. Why did Azam leave him with a gentleman he himself did not know him.

From the morning Najwa daydreamed, thinking about the dream. Until Umi Dila so astonished by the attitude of his son because since morning most daydream.

"Najwa, why do you daydream? From the morning Imi see you keep daydreaming, what's up?" ask umi Dila.

"I dream umi." replied Najwa.

"What dream?" ask umi Dila.

"I'm confused about the dream" Najwa said.

"Lho, how confused? Tell me about the dream, who knows you can understand from your dream."

"Indeed, can Umi interpret the meaning of dreams?"

"Yes, who knows as a clue as long as you are istikharah it. You're not sure about everything?" ask umi Dila.

"How sure is umi?"

Najwa was silent, he looked at her um and then let out a long sigh. Confused by his dream, whether it is true that it is just a flower to sleep. But he had never had such a strange dream, if he had ever dreamed of Azam because of the memories of the past when together entered into his dream. But that dream had only troubled her heart since waking up this morning.

"Najwa?"

"The dream is weird. Mas Azam came to me, he smiled. Then he brought a man, introduced to me. She told me to regret it, but I just kept quiet. Then Azam went somewhere. That is why I cried out to Azam when I woke up, because Azam suddenly left and left the man he had brought with me. It's weird umi, it's her dream" Najwa said, explaining her dream.

Umi Dila was silent, she looked at her son's face. He did not know the meaning of the dream, but it seemed to be a clue.

"Try mei ask me the same, maybe you understand about your dream" said Umi Dila.

"But I was confused by the dream umi" said Najwa.

"Why?"

"The man took me away."

Umi Dila was silent, she again digested Najwa's words, then she calmed her son who seemed like Najwa was agitated with her dream.

"You know that man in your dreams?" ask umi Dila.

"I don't know who that man was, even Azam didn't come back after the man took me away" Najwa said.

"Yes, we ask. Abah might be able to answer all your confusion. But, have you finished his istikharah?"

"Of course, last night was last. And after I finished praying I slept, then the dream." replied Najwa.

Umi Dila smiled, she got up from her seat. Followed by Najwa, they head for the living room. Where you are reading books about religion. Umi Dila sat in front of the abah, and Najwa sat next to the umya. Abah glanced at the two, took off his reading glasses and closed the book. He put the book on the table and took the tea and drank it.

"Did you guys come together?" ask abah.

"It's the same, Najwa wants to tell me about last night's dream" replied his wife Dila.

"Yight's dream?"

"Yes bah, Najwa dreams about Azam. But Najwa said it was strange." replied umi Dila again.

"Have you finished Najwa's istikharahya?" ask Abah.

"It's the bah, last night it's over." replied Najwa.

"Try telling me about your dream last night." pinta abah.

Then Najwa told him about the dream, he was initially ordinary. But then becomes worried about his dream guess from his brother. Because you can tell me about a dream. Najwa tells the story of Umi Dila.

"So much was his dream" said Najwa ending the story of his dream.

Abah seemed wrinkled, thinking about what Najwa had told him about his dream. Najwa waits uneasily for what his dream guess is by his brother.

"Where's bah? Do you know what that dream means?" ask umi Dila.

"Emm, I don't understand umi yet. Tapu seems like it's a clue." said abah.

"Hint?!" tanya umi and Najwa together.

"Yes, I can say that."

"Then, what does bah mean?" tanya Najwa could not wait to hear the explanation of her dream.

"Abah cannot explain now, I want to see if Azam will really come and ask you to be his wife. If that's true, so there are events that will be difficult to accept" said Abah again.

"What do you mean by Bah?"

"Of course, we believe in the destiny of God. Don't believe in the dream, we don't know what kind of soul mate Najwa will be" said abah again.

"Gee! Abah made me curious, since Najwa was daydreaming about his dream. Abah could not even interpret the dream" said Umi Dila annoyed at her husband.

"This is what it is, everything must be put to God. I can't believe that dream. Death and fortune are God's rules. Man only lives his destiny. Don't guess anything uncertain. Najwa has tried, so just wait for the fate of what Najwa will accept" said Abah explained to the child and his wife.

Najwa and Umi Dila were silent, indeed what he said was true. But for Najwa, the dream was very strange. But then Najwa kept quiet, trying to remove the dream from his memory. He went back to thinking about what he should do next if Azam came back home and asked him again.
