The Love of Habib
Chapters 12.8
"In half an hour, you will wake me up, O God!" I just want to dance their hair.
Dira yawns beside him,"By-by, for now." Answer's flat.
For the sake of souvenirs, Dira and Gisel forced themselves to get up early. If it wasn't for souvenirs, they would wake up too. Actually last night they had been drooling about the souvenirs that Aish brought from the city last night - oh, not only the two of them but the other roommate's spy also drooled. Just because Aish came home last night and looked tired, they all consciously said nothing and let Aish immediately rest.
Aish's hands were itching to pinch the stomachs of her two best friends.
"Can it be morning." Said Aish astonished.
Gisel rolled his eyes lazily.
"Tomorrow morning? There is no time. After the morning prayers immediately take a shower and clean up, continue to go to breakfast and go to school. When do you think we can share it if not now?" He had been counting it well all night before going to bed.
After evaluating it seriously, they think the best and best time is half an hour before waking up to tahajud prayer. Yup, only their room gets up and the other room won't get any parts. Huh, what a brilliant idea!
Surprisingly Aish agreed with them.
"Fine, turn on the lights and wake up the other kids." Break Aish.
Dira and Gisel immediately cheered, they then turned on the lights and shocked the rest of the roommates. At first many protested because they were still sleepy, but when Gisel explained his goal they all compactly stepped away from the mattress.
The corner of Aish's eyes twitched stifled at how enthusiastic everyone was.
"Okay, last night I bought fruit on the street. The amount is enough for all of us so you all don't fight well because everyone must be part of it." Aish said reminding everyone.
At first he wanted to show them all that he was going to the city to go along with the habib. But after thinking about it he could not do that because it could cause more evil rumors for the habib. Not wanting to make trouble for the habib, Aish then decided not to mention the name of the habib over this gift.
Everyone gets one apple, one orange, two salak, and one pear. Everyone was very happy to accept it and thank Aish. They do not eat the fruits and store them in a cupboard as a backup.
"Dira, Gisel." Aish gave Gisel a million and Dira a half a million.
"The shopping money yesterday is still there." Gisel was ashamed to accept it.
Aish was very considerate of her, already like her own brother. Back at his uncle and aunt's house, he had never been treated this warmly by his cousins. Instead of sharing, they envy the things they have and are often the subject of quarrels.
Why, thought. Aish is a stranger but much nicer and warmer than his cousins.
Aish is in a good mood.
"Keep it just in case." Said Aish leisurely.
Dira took the money and held it tightly. Aish's money is still in his closet and he doesn't intend to use it either. The money was the gift of his best friend, the sincere heart of his best friend. It used to be him who gave money or things to his friends in the city but now he was the one who was given things by Aish.
People as sincere and as careful as Aish, maybe Dira will not find again in this life.
"Thank you, next time it's a lot, yeah." Canda Dira is not serious.
Aish smiled gently, "Don't worry. That's easy."
He has a lot of money in his hands. His own savings money has not been used all, let alone savings money from Father and Mother who have not been touched?
Aish was not worried about money at all.
"Aish, thank you.you are a very nice person." Gisel's whisperer didn't know what to say.
Aish and Dira, they are very good friends. With them, Gisel felt how sweet a friendship was. And spending a lot of time with them makes Gisel no longer miss home too much, well.
"Don't talk like that. I am your friend in the world but your brother in heaven, it is appropriate that we help each other here because I want God not only to involve us in this world but also in the end. Of course.The path that God is ridhoi, I wish we were all always on this path." Say Aish shy.
These sweet and hopeful words, he had never uttered them. It's awkward. He always thought sweet words were an irony that could not be realized. But in this place Aish learns that everything in this world is easy for God to change. High expectations may not make sense, but for God nothing is impossible. But on condition, surrender to Him and draw near to Him.
A simple formula that many human beings have left behind.
"Aamiin Allahumma Aamiin O God, I hope that the three of us will not leave each other in this world or in the hereafter." Dira holds Aish and Gisel's hands with an unseen hope within her eyes.
To live in such a beautiful place and never to be imagined with loved ones, O Allah, is a blessing that cannot be described with words.
Gisel's heart was touched. He held Dira and Aish's hands as tightly as possible to vent how happy this heart was, "May God, the three of us stay together to that place. The place of the desire of all mankind in this world. I hope God is pleased with the three of us, Aamiin?"
Dira and Aish looked at each other, a second later a wide smile formed on their faces.
"Aamiin Allahumma Aamiin O Allah." Their words raised hope together.
Their minds were limited to the world. Often they underestimate the existence of an end life, heaven or hell, they are not that far because their lives are always revolving around the world, the world, and the world.
But in this place that they originally hated, all their views and habits slowly changed. Slowly their hearts begin to long for the afterlife they once shared. Longing while continuing to learn to be close to the Almighty. Though their steps were slow, God never left them.
Otherwise, they could not have been in this place, the boarding house of Abu Hurairah.
For some reason their mood was so soft and sweet at this moment, as if there was a soft feeling that warmed their hearts, embraced their hearts and spread happiness in them. It felt like God was welcoming this prayer that they were praying in their gratitude. I don't know, no one knew until that day really came.
