Rainbow Blanketed Clouds

Rainbow Blanketed Clouds
Laa Tahzan Innallaha Ma'ana


The rainbow was just about to put on a face when the sound of an urgent knock on the door opened. He immediately walked to the door and opened it. Zidan stood before him with a panicked face. 


“What's up, Dek?” 


Zidan was silent for a while. His eyeballs were pointing towards the floor, as if he was picking the right sentence. I don't know what the rainbow would have been like if I found out her husband had an accident.


“Om Fery just called,” He paused his words with a breath. Staring at the rainbow who was waiting for the next sentence. “Kak Cloud accident, now in hospital.” 


Like getting a bolt of lightning, Rainbow's body trembled. His eyeballs were instantly flooded with clear liquid. His tongue even felt stiff. Nothing can be said of his lips other than the sentence, “Innalillahi wa inna ilaihi raji’.” 


For a while the rainbow seemed to lose its ability to think. He would have collapsed on the floor if Zidan had not immediately caught his body and hugged his brother. The young man also tried to drain the fortitude by rubbing his back. "So calm down, don't panic!"  


That instant also the Rainbow came to a realization. “Daddy did not say how Mas Awan is? Is Mas Cloud okay?” rainbow with a faint voice. 


“Om Fery just said Kak Awan was rushed to the hospital. And sister requested there.” 


The rainbow squeezed his clothes trembling. His face began to pale with sweat pouring down his forehead. 


“Laa tahzan innallaha ma’ana, Brother. Do not be sad, God is with us,” whispered Zidan. “Will not go to the hospital now? I'm with.” 


In the embrace of his sister, Rainbow nodded slowly. His mind kept on going to the husband, thinking about how he was doing now.


“Iya, Deck! But I want to pray first.” 


..........


The rainbow came out of the room a few minutes later. Mom, dad and Zidan were waiting for him in the living room. He looks better after the prayer. 


“You ready, son? Come on, we're all going to the hospital.” Ahmad's father immediately rose from his seat. 


“Father and Mom at home only, yes! Let me take the same Rainbow Brother to the hospital.” 


Zidan looked at his parents. It would be better if Ahmad's father and Humairah's mother remain at home, because maybe Sofie's mother will say something that will make both parents sad. 


“But how about a Cloud Nak?” 


"God willing, everything will be fine." Zidan beckoned with a glance of the eye.


“Alright, but if there is anything please immediately tell ya, Nak.” 


Zidan nodded. 


............


Rainbow and Zidan ran small through long, silent hallways in a hospital. His face was full of worry. His steps then stopped when from a distance not so far seen Father Fery with Mother Sofie was standing in front of the door of a room. 


The rainbow felt limp on both legs as it stepped closer. His heart was racing fast. What more when feeling the hostile raining gaze of her mother-in-law. 


“You want what you came here for? Because you the Clouds became like this!” the woman shouted with tears.


Rainbow eyes are closed with the word Istighfar in the heart. 


“Enough, Mom!” snapped Daddy Fery. “Not time to blame anyone. If you have something to blame, it is you! You who have triggered a commotion until Cloud leaves the house in a state of anger.” 


“Why am I the one you blame, Mas?” Bu Sofie was sitting limp in a stainless long chair while sobbing. “If the Clouds hadn't chased the Rainbow, none of this would have happened. He won't get into an accident.” 


Zidan could only cluck while shaking his head. A correct decision asked his parents not to go to the hospital. Otherwise, they would be even more sick to hear the words from Mother Sofie's sharp tongue.


"I'm sorry for the mistake of mother, son," said Fery's father.


The rainbow nodded its head, then approached the mother-in-law and rubbed her shoulders as the middle-aged woman continued to cry with a regretful word.


 “Qadarullaah wa maa syaa fa' ala'! There's nothing to blame. This has become God's destiny. Whatever He wills will be sure to happen and will not escape man even if he wears a shield of steel. Never regret with a word if, because it can open the door of Satan.” 


Sofie's mother fell silent.

note :


..."If you are afflicted by a calamity, then do not say, 'if I do so, it will not be so'. But let you say, Qadarullah wa maa-afa'ala (Destiny of Allah, whatever Allah wills is sure to happen'). Because the word law (if) can open the opportunity of temptation syaiton....
