NIGHT BUTTERFLY
#156
Nooooo!
Master Izzul Islam surged in shock. The loud shout from the direction of Nyai Mustiani's room beat the sound of the wind crashing down. Using only a t-shirt, Master Izzul Islam got up and immediately ran out of the room. Arriving in front of Nyai Mustiani's room, he just opened the door and entered.
Master Izzul Islam tightly holds Nyai Mustiani's body when he arrives in the room. Nyai Mustiani's face looked deathly pale. Her hair was as chaotic as here and there. His cold sweat seemed to fill the forehead even flowing between his hair. His breath went up and down quickly. The sound of his heartbeat even sounded jolting. Nyai Mustiani's body trembled violently. Master Izzul Islam became panicked. He shook the body of Nyai Mustiani because Nyai Mustiani just fell silent with his eyes wide to the front. It was as if he had not seen the arrival of Master Izzul Islam.
"Mom, what's wrong, ma'am. Istighfar, Ma. Istighfar," said Master Izzul Islam half-cried. Nyai Mustiani remained silent. His lips were shaking violently. Master Izzul Islam is getting panicked. He looked over there. The wind out there still sounds terrifying roaring.
Master Izzul Islam got up and ran towards the dining room. After pouring a glass of water, he immediately returned to Nyai Mustiani's room.
The mouth of Master Izzul Islam commits to reading something into the mouth of a glass. After that, he sprinkled the one in the glass onto Nyai Mustiani's body. At that instant, Nyai Mustiani who was like she had just regained consciousness from her stupor, surged in shock. Once he realized the presence of Master Izzul Islam, he immediately clutched the hand of Master Izzul Islam. So strong, Mr. Guru Izzul Islam to look grimacing to withstand pain. Nyai Mustiani looks so scared. Even his tears were seen starting to flow profusely on both of his cheeks. Master Izzul Islam immediately embraced Nyai Mustiani's body.
"Izzul, help mom, son. Please Mom," cried Nyai Mustiani in fear. His voice was shaking violently. Master Izzul Islam holds Nyai Mustiani's body.
"Silence, Mom. Calm. Istighfar, Ma'am, istighfar. Ask Allah for protection from the deceit of the devil" whispered Master Izzul Islam. He then thrust half the remaining glass of water in his hand into the mouth of Nyai Mustiani. Slowly Nyai Mustiani drank it. Master Izzul Islam hugged the body of Nyai Mustiani again.
"What happened, Mom. Mother's having nightmares?"
Nyai Mustiani nodded her head. His breathing is still unstable. But his gaze was now glaring. Like I'm remembering something.
"I dreamt of meeting your father, son." Nyai Mustiani shook her head. Her tears are flowing. Master Izzul Islam scrunched his forehead. Her mother should be happy to meet her late husband. But what he now witnessed from the look on Nyai Mustiani's face was very different. Nyai Mustiani was like she had just seen the scariest thing in her life. He had never seen Nyai Mustiani that scared.
"I should be happy to see you. I miss seeing my dad every night in my dreams. Why is mom so scared?" said Mr. Guru Izzul Islam. Nyai Mustiani shook her head.
"But your father wanted to hit me with his whip. The whip is blazing, son. I'm so scared. I'm so scared" said Nyai Mustiani. His head was put into the arms of Master Izzul Islam. Like a person who still saw something terrifying before his eyes. Master Izzul Islam embraced his mother's head and kissed her several times. He tried to calm Nyai Mustiani down.
"Istighfar, Mom. As long as there is still a warning, God still provides an opportunity to realize it and improve" said Mr. Izzul Islam.
من عاد لي وليا فقد آذنته بالحرب
Nyai Mustiani said stammeringly. He managed to perfectly remember the words he heard from the mouth of the man in his dream earlier. Master Izzul Islam scrunched his forehead.
"That's what your father said while gesturing to the blue hooded woman batik motif. After that, your father left mother without saying goodbye first. Your father hates me" said Nyai Mustiani. He shook the body of Master Izzul Islam. Mr. Guru Izzul Islam let out a long sigh while looking up for a moment to the ceiling of the room. The dream was perfect so that his mother knew exactly what she had heard in her dream. God rebuked his mother through a dream.
"Tell me what those words mean, son. Explain to mother" continued Nyai Mustiani. His eyes did not turn away from looking into the eyes of Master Izzul Islam. He wanted Master Izzul Islam to tell him immediately.
Master Izzul Islam gave a short sigh. He gently rubbed Nyai Mustiani's back.
"That's the hadith of Qudsi, Bu. It is the word of Allah which is the word of the Prophet. Whoever antagonizes my beloved, I will declare war on him. Allah is the Truth and His Messenger is the Truth" said Master Izzul Islam. Hearing that, Nyai Mustiani surged back in shock. It even quickly retreated away from Master Izzul Islam. He shook his head. Nyai Mustiani's cry broke.
"I am an enemy of God? Do me a favor, Izzul. curse Me. Please mom, son. I'm afraid" said Nyai Mustiani. He again advanced and approached Master Izzul Islam. The body of Master Teacher Izzul Islam embraced him and cried as much as he could. Master Izzul Islam kissed Nyai Mustiani's head.
"God still loves mom. I have to be grateful for that. God gave a warning to my mother through a dream. I am very lucky if I realize it quickly. Repent and admit mother's fault. Satan always plays with our ego to close our eyes from seeing the truth. We are too busy with other people's things that shouldn't be our business. No matter how someone in his past, we never know how close he was to God after his repentance. Repenting him correctly, could have defeated our decades of worship, but never separated from the nature of hate. Istighfar, Ma. Istighfar. Allah still loves you" said Master Izzul Islam. Her tears flowed and dripped on Nyai Mustiani's head. Nyai Mustiani let go of his embrace. He looked at Master Izzul Islam. Master Izzul Islam smiled, trying to make Nyai Mustiani calm down.
"Mom's tally to Sulastri's house. I have to apologize to Rianti. My mother has sinned too much against him. The nature of feeling more noble than others, makes mothers forget that the best in God's side is the most pious person. Take me, son. Allah is Forgiving. But I won't forgive you if you haven't apologized to someone you wronged."
Master Izzul Islam smiled as he wiped away his tears. He looked up with tears in his eyes. How grateful he is tonight that God has granted his prayers so that he can see Nyai Mustiani realising her mistake. Master Izzul Islam grabbed both hands of Nyai Mustiani and kissed him in turn.
"Thank you, Mom. I felt like I was going back to finding my old mother. We're going, Mom. But wait until morning. They are still resting. His housekeeper won't open us the gate if we come at night like this. It's still raining outside, anyway,"
Nyai Mustiani shook her head.
"Can you guarantee that you're alive until morning? Will you take responsibility for a mistake I have not apologized for. No, Son. It has become a must for people who need to wait. We'll wait for morning at their gate. Come on, get ready" said Nyai Mustiani. He got up and immediately took his veil. Master Izzul Islam is still silent. Even when Nyai Mustiani was already at the door, Master Izzul Islam was still silent looking at him.
