SHAHDU IN THE SENDU
Shared Prayer
...Part 22's...
...🍁🍁🍁...
“Iya, I have sent by email, study first, if any questions contact me immediately, make sure everything is clear before you proceed to presentation”.
After getting an answer from Reza, Zain disconnected his phone. The rustling sound of the frying pan in the kitchen rang out loud, Zain stood up then walked towards the kitchen. There he saw Zareen who was busy with his cooking tools. Zareen went back and forth between the cauldron with a dirty plate full in the sink, yeah he took to cleaning the dishes while cooking. When the fry was about time behind, Zareen walked over to the stove, leaving behind a moment of dishes that were already about to be rinsed off, he said, when he was about to turn around again he was surprised because Zain was behind him with his hands that were already wet because he was busy rinsing dishes.
“Astaghfirullah..”, cried Zareen while holding his chest.
“You focus on frying only”. Zain said at a glance to see Zareen's face then refocused on the plates.
“Mas what?”. What is this question
“Mas again rinse the plate, if you do not see”. Zain's naughtiness with raised eyebrows
“For what?”. Refute Zareen with furrowed eyebrows
“Mas want to help you, there is no harm in helping you kan”.
“But Mas..”.
“Udah don't ask much more, later the fish is burnt by my wifeuu”.
Zareen rounded his eyes, and immediately turned around. Zain saw the face of the wife who met red, very shy.
And finally all the busyness in the kitchen was finished, with Zain who continued to offer help here and there. Zareen arranged the dishes at the dining table, then closed them with a serving hood.
Dusk began to approach, the orange sky in the village offers a beauty that spoils the eye. The atmosphere of the quiet road that there are only children who go to surau (Musala), besides there are no more community activities when magrib arrives.
When the adzan magrib died, everyone was ready in their respective prayer mats.
“Yuk start yah”. Fatma
“We wait for Zain first”. Father muttered as he looked back, he had not found his son-in-law there yet.
Zareen was confused as to what she should answer, how she explained to her Father and Mother, that her husband was not praying, and how she was not praying, all this time she had never seen her husband even do this duty.
But this prayer must be started, Zareen must say, “Dad, we should..”.
“Sorry I'm late Yah”
Zain with a skullcap and a dark chocolate holster that complements his cocoa shirt, walked hurriedly then immediately took his place behind Dad. Zareen who was standing behind was amazed, not believing what she saw, not what her eyes were seeing right now, her husband was standing behind Dad as a teacher, just like her.
“Allahuakbar”
The impeachment of Ihram which Father had lafadzkan made Zareen aware from his shock, then he made an intention and followed the priest.
With a very eloquent father reading and also a father's voice that is still clean when chanting love verses from the khalik, making them pray quietly and solemnly’.
“Assalamualaikum warahmatullah”
“Assalamualaikum warahmatullah”
After that Dad tilted his seat facing Zain and asked Zain to lead do’a. Zareen was again surprised to hear Dad's orders, his eyes rolling staring at Zain, long time no answer, “Yes Allah, how to explain to Ayah”, murmured lirih Zareen in his heart.
Fatma who saw the look of Zareen's anxiety understood, then she asked for this moment only Dad who led the prayer.
Hearing the words of Mother, Zain breathed deeply, “Yes Allah, help me, remove the blame from my tongue”. Then he raised both hands and began with the words of dzikrullah, and chanted the prayer verses and then closed them with Al-Fatihah.
“Aamiin aamiin ya robbal alaamiin”. Zain cupped both hands to his face, he gave thanks because he could still pronounce the do’a-do’a.
Father turned around and Zain immediately reached out his hand to crucify Father's hand, then he retreated and bowed his palm. And as his hand stretched out right in front of Zareen, he stopped him and pulled back. He looked at his wife's face and smiled, then stood up to Father who called out to him.
Zareen stared at Zain's back who rushed towards Father, with a faint smile rising adorning his lips.
Dad asked Zain to change his clothes and go to the dining table. The first mother finished preparing the dishes and scooping rice for Father, and also took it for Zain who had come and sat next to Father.
“Sit nak”. Tell me I saw the new Zareen coming
Zareen sat opposite Zain, looking at Zain who looked confused looking at the side dish on the table, Zareen took one piece of grilled fish and put it on Zain's plate, “This is not spicy, really, Zareen took a piece of grilled fish and put it on Zain's plate, just used a little chilli, more tomato sauce”. Then Zareen poured a spoonful of potato soup and vegetable cabbage, “This is only using two slices of red pepper”.
“Thank you”, Zain smiled then started bribing his veins.
Father and Mother looked at each other, as if their questions were the same, and then just smiled and continued eating.
No more conversations were heard, they ate quietly enjoying and thanking all the dishes that were in front of them.
“Mas sleeps here, the room I have cleaned, this is the echo room so sorry if the bed is small”
“Nothing, Mas given a bed only Mas already very grateful”.
Zareen nodded then walked away.
Zareen's footsteps came to a halt, he was stunned and spontaneously turned back, their eyes met, just a moment, Zareen quickly resumed his path in haste, with a hand holding his chest. His heart beats incoherently, “Yes Allah, why is it like this, do I have to be as weak as this”. Zareen grumbled to his room and closed the door.
Back, Zain saw the red hue, which met on his wife's cheek, his wife was very shy, even just with this call alone had made him wrong, Zain chuckled and also closed the door of his room.
The night Zareen woke up, the clockwork stopped at 02.30 in the morning. Zareen got out of bed and rushed to the bathroom to fetch water wudhu’. He will perform his Isthorah prayers tonight.
Zareen performs two rakaat prayers of istikhoroh very calmly, not in a hurry, avoiding mistakes and mistakes in each pronunciation. After saying the greeting, Zareen took the prayer beads that he had approached with the alphabet earlier, then repeated the words takbir, tahmid and tahlil as much as thirty-three times. Finished with his dhikr then Zareen raised both hands and there he sobbed for Allah's guidance.
“Yes Allah, O my Lord, is almighty over all, powerful over me, and powerful over himself, my husband. All that you have established upon us, O God, soul mate, sustenance, and death, you have written in al-Mahfudz long before we created you. By Your power we meet, and by Your permission we bind this sacred bond. I ask Your guidance, O God, move my heart to what is good for me, which path I must take, which is good for my religion, my world and also my hereafter. Direct my heart to the best decision for us Allah”.
The same love that Zain asked God for, in do’nya he continued to raise apologies and hopes that God was willing to give him one more chance, with sobs Zain raised both hands.
Two men who dissolve in their servitude, with hope every prayer verse they recite in Aamiinkan the inhabitants of heaven and are able to knock on the Throne of God.
