New Hope Together Dusk That Is No Longer the Same
Question mark

“Now how is Sha? What is it about living here that you feel better now?" ning Sabina asked as she approached Gus Fakih who was playing accompanied by Aisha.

“Alhamdulillah Ning, after the hyacinth Aisha felt much better. Maybe Ning is right, hope is something uncertain, especially to humans.”

“So?" ask Ning Sabina.

“Aisha is currently only trying to be sincere Aisha as wide as the ocean.”

“Mba salute you Sha, you can get up and try not to be shackled with massalu. Hopefully Alloh always makes it easier to step Aisha yes.”

“Aamiin, thank ya Ning, all this time Ning always help me to keep moving forward. Honestly I had a desperate time Ning.”

“Mba is only an intermediary from God, maybe it is time for Aisha to take a sip of new life without being shackled by massalu.”

“Umi! Fakih ate it up" said Gus Fakih, who had finished his own meal when Ning Sabina and Aisha were chatting.

“Masya Allah has sintered once a child umi," replied Ning Sabina praising her son.

“Oh yes Ning today is Gus Hasan's schedule to remove the stitches," said Aisha reminded.

“Oh yes you have gone directly to ndalem aja, it looks like Gus Hasan was also there.”

“Nggeh Ning, if that's Aisha excuse me.”

“Assalamualaikum," said Aisha answered by Gus Hasan, Nyai Hamidah, and Kiyai Safar who were gathered in the middle room.

“Now the schedule is open stitches huh Aisha?" gus Hasan asked Aisha who was still staring at the door.

“Nggeh Gus," replied Aisha awkwardly.

“Try opening here ya Sha, Pak Kyai want to see directly he said," said Nyai Hamidah from the living room.

Aisha walked in the steps of Gus Hasan towards the middle room that already had Nyai Hamidah and Kyai Safar there. Honestly Aisha felt very awkward to be among them. Who is Aisha when compared to their Gawagis family.

Aisha began to open the bandage carefully after first preparing a sterile seam lift set, then the traces of plaster she cleaned with gasoline cotton.

After disinfecting around the wound with an alcohol cotton swab and smearing the wound with betadine, Aisha began to remove the stitches one by one in a hose-aligned manner.

Again Gus Hasan can only bite his own torch to withstand the pain when Aisha clamped the seam knot and pulled it and cut the thread under the knot adjacent to the skin.

Nyai Hamidah and Kyai Safar were already shuddering in horror to see Aisha shrewdly pull the stitch thread on her son's wound.

“So the doctor had to be brave yes Sha," said Kyai Safar who had closed his eyes could not see again what Aisha did.

Aisha simply smiled in response to Kyai Safar's words.

“You don't have that cringe of Sha, always dealing with such injuries?" now it is Nyai Hamidah who seems curious about the courage of a doctor.

“At first I was also horrified Miss Nyai, but yes how else, as a doctor patient safety is the main thing. Then we must put aside our own feelings first" replied Aisha takdim.

Finished lifting all the stitch threads, Aisha smears the wound and surrounding it with betadine and then closes the wound back with dry cassa and plaster.

“Oh yes Sha, after this Mr. Kyai and Bu Nyai want something discussed briefly with Aisha, can you?" nyai Hamidah asked as Aisha was cleaning her medical equipment.

“Nggeh Bu Nyai can," replied Aisha takdim.

“Kalo gitu Hasan want to go around ngek santri first nggeh Bah," said Hasan gave space for Abah and Uminya to talk with Aisha.

“Yo wes all santri bookkeeping in the office in check well,” replied Kyai Safar who was immediately adopted by his son.

Gus Hasan soon passed after

first kiss the back of Kyai Safar's hand and His Hamidah takdim.

“Sorry for the incident back then Sha, I was just trying to protect you. Hopefully Aisha does not hate me,” said Gus Hasan when he accidentally passed Aisha who just came out of the ndalem.

“Isn't it during his reasons for kindness, then allowed someone of the opposite sex to touch? As much as I am a doctor, I do the same with the intention to save others and it is a good goal,” Aisha replied keeping calm.

“True, it is like that. I was only worried if Aisha thought badly of what I was doing back then.”

“Can't prejudices against others be impossible?” aisha answered, who asked the question that made Gus Hasan growl.

Gus Hasan was still staring at Aisha's back which began to disappear behind the pesantren wall.

"Aisha is intelligent" said Gus Hasan.

Aisha stared blankly at the ceiling of her room, if there was Rini, she would have told her about her suddenness at this time.

“Rini when to return to the cottage yah?” mummified Aisha.

The talks between Nyai Hamidah and Kyai Safar had just deeply disturbed his mind.

The flashback

“What Aisha feels at home here?” nyai Hamidah asked opening the conversation.

“Alhamdulillah Bu Nyai, here Aisha learned a lot of things that Aisha did not know before. Here Aisha knows a little more about what life really is like,” replied Aisha still does not understand the direction of Nyai Hamidah's conversation.

“Is Aisha any plans to get married anytime soon?” now Kyai Safar spoke up.

“Sorry Mr Kyai, he means how well?” ask Aisha takdim.

“Begini Aisha, as the parent in charge of Aisha here, Pak Kyai and Bu Nyai only convey the trust of someone who does not want to first mention his identity,” replied Kyai Safar.

“What is it about Mr Kyai?” ask Aisha who is getting confused.

“There is someone who conveys his intention to ask you to ask us, about religion, God willing he is a righteous man, we ourselves know how his life is. On material matters, God willing also need not doubt its establishment. If according to our point of view as parents, God willing is born and inwardly he is very ready. But yes we can not give an answer without Aisha's permission. Therefore we convey this to Aisha to be thoughtful, because about the household for a lifetime,” said Kyai Safar explained.

Aisha listened to what Kyai Safar had just said, her heartbeat beating faster than usual.

“I believe in Bu Nyai and Mr. Kyai, if according to him well, then there is no reason for me not to accept it. But please give me time to also solidify this intention,” replied Aisha takdim.

“Of course you have to think about this well, because the household is not something to mess with,” replied Bu Nyai advising Aisha.

“Does someone already know how life is also the background of Aisha Pak Kyai?”

“For more details about who and how the person who asked Aisha, also the reason why she asked Aisha, God willing next week the person will go straight to the cottage. After hearing all the explanations, Aisha can immediately give Aisha's answer to her proposal,” Kyai Safar replied easing a little Aisha's curiosity.

Flashback off

O Allah O Muqollibal quluub, tsabbits qolbii alaa diinikaa, (Revelation of the Most Reversing, set my heart above your religion)

Prayer asks for the determination that Aisha always chants if she feels her heart is doubtful about something.

“Can I sit here?” asked Karina who had brought her food to the table where Faris had lunch in the hospital cafeteria.

Sontak Faris looked up to see who asked, then just nodded and went back to eating his food.

“Your usually same order where are you?” asked Karina in between eating her cyan.

“Aisha has finished her internship,” replied Faris briefly without turning away from her food.

“My chances are more for deket same Faris.” Karina smiled deeply.

“Hopefully the time is here fun.”

“Faris,” call Karina.

“Hmmm,” replied Faris only with deheman.

“You have no plans to get married yet?” ask Karina suddenly.

“Why? You want to marry me?” faris suddenly
