Pledge of Love Ustadz Irsyad
The Missing Chapter (love in the family)

The twilight that has covered the earth, does not make a father and two children move from their prostration after undergoing prayer congregation at the time of Ashar.

Nuha was very fond of hearing Abinya when telling stories, especially the love story of Prophet Muhammad and Aisha Ra, or maybe the story of Ali ibn Abi Talib and Fatimah Az-Zahra.

As of this moment, the girl was still at home with her chin supported listening to every word that came out of her lips.

"Ali bin Abi Talib began to fall in love with Fatimah since he was quick to dress the Prophet's wounds after fighting."

"Since the incident, Ali was determined to propose to Fatimah. But Ali never expressed his feelings. Ali just left prayers for his love."

"Although Ali was one of the Apostle's most noble companions, Ali was still ashamed to propose. Because he also did not have the dowry to propose to Fatimah."

"When trying to raise capital to apply for Fatimah, suddenly word spread that another friend of the Apostle wanted to apply for Fatimah. It is Abu Bakr As-Shidiq."

"However, Abu Bakr's proposal was rejected by Fatimah. And how glad Ali was to hear the news."

"Now, the other companions of the Apostle also wanted to propose to Fatimah again. This is Umar bin Khattab. Hearing the news, Ali began to feel like he had no chance."

"However, once again. Umar bin Khattab's proposal was also rejected. Ali who heard this came back happy. But on the other hand, he also began to doubt. If Abu Bakr and Umar were so firm his faith alone was rejected, let alone he who felt there was still nothing."

Abi Irsyad continued to tell on his alphabet to his two adult children.

In the voice of Irsyad, Noah began to think that if he had a husband, he wanted to have a husband as good as Ali bin Abi Talib, a man who greatly admired Fatimah in silence, but he still gives attention and romantic love when it is halal.

Or at least like the father, who is unceasingly envious of himself when he is acting romantically to his umma.

The smiles of Noah in his daydreams, his mind still wallowing in the figure of the pious man in his delusion. So as to make Rumi, who was chuckling ignorant began to enter a lizard that was just entering into the mouth of his twin sister.

Suddenly, Noah who was still in his imaginary world immediately realized and surprised, he then hit the shoulder of his twin brother.

"Sister Rumi!!" Pekik. Moreover, seeing the brother is frowning propping up with both hands, with the body leaning backward.

"So much to be a person? Just got home, it's back to make Nuha blood ride!" It felt like Nuha hit Rumi again, but he snuffed, because the father's head was hinting at a ban on Noah.

"Hehehe Abi, Look! Noah daydreamed to that whim." It's not so, hahaha. Irsyad only chuckled while shaking his head, looking at Rumi who was fad at Noah, because something like this would only come out when they were gathered at home, if Rumi had returned to Bandung, the house was much quieter, because Nuha spent more time in the room.

"What the hell, what a shit?"

"Emang reality. Bi? Noha must have daydreamed of that sick-smelling thing."

"Hey!!! Suuzon is his name. Who else fantasizes about smelling bad. Hit it too."

Irsyad was still laughing.

"Hey, you're all grown up. Still fighting. When do you want to make Umma tired?" Rahma. Which then turns them both slowly.

"Adu.aduuh Umma, that's the only brother in the jewel not Noah. He was the first one that was that bitch."

"Son, who told himself to ask in a fairy tale but not listen."

"Who is not listening? I'm living to know!"

"Dying while imagining, that sin... What else do boyfriend-dating think. Haram deck, haram!!!"

"Iiiissshhh pretentious once anyway, I hit it again huh."

"Again... Let's keep fighting! Let your ears grow longer." Said Rahma who was upset, while Irsyad increasingly Chuckled to see their mother was punishing her two children.

Indeed yes living in one house if the middle of gathering there will certainly be excitement in it, quarrels between brothers and sisters, like himself and mbak Adiba first.

But if it is far? Always implied longing and loneliness that is very intense like when Rumi was in Bandung.

He was indeed rather strict with Noah and more often forbade Noah to go out if there were no essential need. Unlike Rumi, because maybe Rumi is a boy who can take care of himself while Nuha, who indeed has to limit his association a little, so that Noah spends more time at home.

The girl actually also often feels unfair, but how else? All for his good.

Because maintaining the honor of his wife and daughter before the marriage for the child is a big responsibility of the father who will be questioned in the afterlife.

In his gaze, Irsyad's eyes were slightly wet, his hair that had started to gray out made him remember if time continued to spin quickly.

Without us knowing slowly this body is getting older, and frail, until the age is getting reduced.

Now times have changed, now is the time of Noah and Rumi.

Two children who have grown up, who for him are still like toddlers who he loved very much.

As he moved, he went out first from the prayer room, and walked out to the gazebo where Ustadz's favorite place was aloof.

In his silence, Ustadz's mind goes back to the past, living through the household, until he has children indeed many obstacles that he goes through. Even when his life was on the edge of death.

He is still grateful for the opportunity, so that these eyes can still see the two children growing up.

For a moment he remembered one thing, where there were already some pira alim who had the intention to preach his daughter.

There was doubt when he wanted to say yes, because Noah was twenty years old, so he was very hesitant to tell this to Noah.

He still could not let go of his little girl, he still wanted Noah to stay in his house and love her as the first lover of Noah's life.

Along with that thought, Rahma came with a cup of coffee in her hand.

"Mas" said Rahma, Irsyad rubbed her wet eyes. Then smiled as his hand gently rubbed the head of the wife who was still faithful with a large hijab and veil.

"Mas why? It looks sad like that?"

"Mas isn't sad, only happy when the kids are together." Grabbing the coffee cup and sipping it a little, then put the glass back to his right, because Rahma sat to his left.

"Rahma is also happy if the children are gathering, rame." Chuckles.

Irsyad rubbed his wife's face. "Ya— Khumaira, the more beautiful you are, the more I love you." Irsyad suddenly said. Rahma also blushed.

"God, we are old. Don't praise Rahma like that ahhh, it's not good to hear the kids." Chuckles.

"Why should you feel bad. Kan mas really said it from the heart. You are the true love of my life... The kids are all grown up anyway."

"It's just that big mas, they already understand the meaning of romance."

"What matters is just beautiful words, not intimate feelings" said Irsyad, Rahma's eyes narrowed at the sign she was smiling.

"The sweetness of your lips, dear, makes me addicted to touching them." Put his hand into the veil of his wife and rubbed his lips with his thumb.

"Hahaha, this excess of my husband." Release the husband's hand, "Dapet vocabulary from where the hell mas? Pinter is seducing." Rahma. Irsyad chuckled.

Her husband looks older, with a fatter body than before, but his love never changes. It's the same as the old Irsyad.

"Mas is not excessive, dear, have you heard a story? If we love our halal partner sincerely? So the older we get, the more we love our partner? And that's what I feel for you Rahma. I love you even more, even though our hair is turning white, but to be honest. Your love for you is growing."

Rahma smiled, the two looked at each other with love, until Rahma grabbed the husband's hand, peeling the back of the hand.

"Thank you for making Rahma feel glorified every day. Rahma is happy to live with you." Rahma. Irsyad also kissed the wife's forehead with affection.
