New Hope Together Dusk That Is No Longer the Same
I'm not the winner

Aisha is already in the pesantren parking lot with Maya as well as Rini who has returned to the pesantren after the application event the other day.

Today is indeed the time for Aisha boyong from the pesantren to prepare for her wedding with Faris next month.

Uncle Aisha looks out of the ndalem with a handsome man who just got Aisha's hand.

"Well, thank you Rin, Mba apologizes if Mba is wrong, also thank you so far for helping Mba here a lot," said Aisha clasped Rini's shoulder.

"Mba Aisha never had anything wrong with Rini Mba, Rini sincerely if indeed if Faris ustadz choose Mba Aisha," replied Rini chuckled.

"Let's talk again, Mba has to go home now. Don't forget to be at Mba's wedding?" aisha said when she saw Faris had closed the door.

"Ready Mba! Rini must be here."

After finishing cleaning Aisha's belongings in the car, Aisha said goodbye to the pesantren family except for Gus Hasan who had not returned from Egypt, then followed by Maya, Aisha's uncle, and Faris.

***

After several days of Gus Hasan's return from Egypt, he had not seen the figure that had recently become a priority in his prayers.

Gus Hasan wanted to ask her Ning, but was worried later that she would tease him instead. Asking Uminya is more impossible.

Finally Gus Hasan ventured to ask Aisha's roommate, who else if not Rini.

Luckily Gus Hasan did not have to bother to meet Rini, because almost every day Rini will certainly help the needs of ndalem in the kitchen.

"Rini," call Gus Hasan after making sure that the situation in ndalem is quite possible.

"Astaghfirullah Guse ..." replied Rini who was surprised as she rubbed her chest.

"Emmm ... Can I ask you?" gus Hasan replied, hesitating.

"Ask what Gus? how tumben?"

"Is Aisha sick? Some days I don't see him."

"Did Guse really not know?"

"What's wrong?"

"Mba Aisha is already a boyong of the Gus boarding school."

"You mean?"

"Mba Aisha has stopped, will you prepare for her wedding."

"Aisha's wedding do you mean?" asked Gus Hasan who increasingly did not understand Rini's explanation.

"Ngggeh Gus, a few days after Guse left, ustadz Faris to the boarding school stated his proposal to Mba Aisha. Even Mr. Kyai himself became the guardian of Ustadz Faris.

"Mas Faris you mean? My cousin?" Gus Hasan was surprised to hear Rini's statement. His eyes closed, trying to remain calm before Rini.

"Nggeh Gus." replied Rini again.

"Why is it so sudden?"

This time Rini simply replied with a slab.

"You're close to Aisha, isn't she telling you?"

"I'm sorry, Gus, I don't know because I was back home at the time. Mba Aisha is only a story if he and ustadz Faris have been friends for a long time, Mba Aisha who left Ustadz Faris to exile in this boarding school," said Rini a little answer to the curiosity of Gus Hasan.

"That's when Mas Faris came here they met each other?"

"Ndak Gus, Mba Aisha did not know if Faris's ustadz nephew Pak Kyai was the same Faris as his best friend he left behind."

"Then how did Mas Faris suddenly propose to Aisha?"

Again Rini answered with a slit.

"I'm sorry Gus I don't know."

"Oh yes, thanks for the answer. You continue your work, I'm sorry," said Gus Hasan leaving Rini still in his place.

"Is that important to Mba Aisha for Gus Hasan? Until he sneaks in to ask santriwati directly? Even forgetting to end the conversation with a greeting," Rini said.

***

Along the way from the kitchen, Rini's statement about Aisha always lingered in her mind. His chest rumbled withstanding the tightness, his heart ached but could not be revealed.

Ning Sabina who found her sister was walking unsteadily from the direction of the kitchen suddenly approached her.

“Cock tumben from kitchen San?” ning Sabina asked Gus Hasan.

“Em ... anu Hasan had taken Mba,” replied Gus Hasan then, he did not completely lie, because it is true he had just taken drinking water.

“Drink will be on the dining table,” replied Ning Sabina with a probing gaze.

“Other wishes to drink water cooked Mba, right on the table there is gallon water,” replied Gus Hasan reassured Ning Sabina.

Ning Sabina was just a beaver against Gus Hasan.

“Mba ...,” call Gus Hasan stop Ning Sabina's steps about to pass.

“What's up?”

“Mas Faris is married?” gus Hasan suddenly asked.

“Astaghfirullah .. Mba until you forget to talk to her. Abah same Umi not talking too?”

“Iya, Faris tuh did want to marry the doctor Aisha who went here.”

“Why suddenly?” gus Hasan asked as if he didn't know about Faris and Aisha's relationship.

“Not suddenly actually. Aisha once told me that Faris and Aisha have long been in office, since college if not wrong.”

The flashback

“Aisha, did Mba already say, if there is anything do not hold your own. Perhaps Mba can help you tell,” said Ning Sabina who saw Aisha always contemplating after her evening prayer.

Aisha simply smiled in response to Ning Sabina's statement, a smile that looked forced.

“Can Aisha story Ning?” ask Aisha doubtfully.

“When is Aisha.”

“Aisha come to this pesantren want to calm down Ning, improve Aisha. There have been too many events that flip through Aisha's life in the past,” said Aisha Parau.

“What is this related to him who has left Aisha in the past?”

Aisha replied with a sling.

“About Azka, God willing Aisha is sincere Ning.”

“Then?”

“Aisha has a best friend, her name is Faris. He was one of the people who witnessed Aisha's story with Azka. She was truly a sincere person, all this time she was the one who always accompanied Aisha under any circumstances, even when Azka returned with all bitterness. Until one day Aisha finds out that Faris loves Aisha, she loves Aisha unconditionally. Aisha who was blind at that time could not see the sacrifice as well as the struggle Faris so far. Aisha who is too selfish on the heart by closing it to just one name. Until Aisha goes to this pesantren without her knowledge.”

“So until now she doesn't know where Aisha is?”

Again Aisha answered him with a slit.

“Aisha only realized this feeling when she was completely absent from Aisha's life. Maybe it is too late for Aisha to admit it, because she seems to have been very disappointed with Aisha.”'s decision

“Aisha, do not keep Aisha's love in the heart, because the heart is flipping through her nature. But keep love in prayer, for it is recorded in the sky forever. Leave it all to the Almighty.”

“Astaghfirullah ..” Lirih Aisha rubbed her chest.

“Like the story of the Prophet Joseph and Princess Zulaikha, when Princess Zulaikha pursued the love of the Prophet Joseph, Allah kept the Prophet Joseph away from him. But when Princess Zulaikha pursued the love of Allah, Allah brought the Prophet Joseph for her. Believe me, if you are a match, God will find you again. How to do it.”

Flashback off

“Allohu ...“ Ogled Gus Hasan who only heard by himself.

“It turns out Mas Faris and Aisha are already in love with each other huh Mba?” gus Hasan asked trying to hold tightness in his chest.

“That is what makes us all surprised, it turns out that Faris who has been making Aisha sobbing in every prostration in length is the same Faris as we know.”

“Then how did Mas Faris find out the existence of Aisha Mba?”

“That is the name of destiny, even Aisha herself does not know if it turns out that the one who asked her through Abah was someone who had been harassing her day and night.”

“Masya Allah, indeed the name of a mate will not go where yes Mba,” said Gus Hasan look reasonable.

“Kalo gitu Hasan to the room first yes Mba, Hasan is a bit dizzy. Maybe it's still jet lag,” Gus Hasan said looking for reasons.

“Ya already you rest.”

Gus Hasan stepped gontai towards the room, especially after hearing Ning Sabina's words about Aisha.

He closed the door of the room tightly, locked it so that no one knew how he really was.

Gus Hasan's body sat on the edge of the bed, his hands clenched firmly against the wall, then patted his chest hoping the tightness soon disappeared.

He rubbed the tip of his eye, stopping the trench that might show his weakness.

“It turns out he didn't take it from me, but I was too blind to just trace his true feelings. If Islam did not forbid a man to love a woman who has been preached, maybe I will try to return to fight for her,” Gus Hasan wilih with tightness that never disappears.

Your name was once deliberately pinned in my prolonged prostration

As well as you, there is a name that you always refer to with the hope that you deliberately set

Unfortunately, that name is not me

But everything about you still exists

It still looks real

God has decided a different destiny

Love always has a way to be remembered

And I remember you in every different way

When you say hello, that's when I stick around forever

Even though fate is not on my side

At least let me remember you
