The Pledge of Love The Hafizh Qur'An
love in old age

Takbir, tahmid, tahlil has been reverberating in breaking the silence of the night. Give thanks to Him for welcoming the day. Along tabuh bedug timid, takbir reverberate beautifully filled the sky.

The month of Ramadan has passed and the day of victory has come. 

In the boisterous sound of sparks erupting in the sky, where people were celebrating the eve of Eid al-Fitr so cheerful. There was a middle-aged man sitting on his prostrate, shouting takbir, and Isak crying in between his murmurs.

Ustadz Irsyad is making a departure for Ramadan this year. Like a guest who only comes once a year, the departure of Ramadan is a day that always makes ustadz Irsyad sad. But that does not mean he does not welcome the coming of Shawwal.

He remains happy, because Eid is a day where demons and devils cry. For the doors of forgiveness are wide open, and the sins of mankind are also forgiven.

In between Isak's cries Rahma walked up to her husband with her knees, then grabbed the hand that was holding the prayer beads. Ustadz Irsyad smiled, he touched Rahma's forehead reciting a prayer. Then kiss her forehead and both cheeks.

The wife wiped away the tears of her husband.

"Mas, why does Eid every night cry?" Ask Rahma. Ustadz Irsyad rubbed his cheeks gently.

"You never feel? If Ramadan is a great guest who will always come every year, but not necessarily see us again?" Ask Irsyad. Rahma also lowered her head as quickly as she reached Rahma's chin lifting him up again, my two eyes were staring at the husband. "We never realized? Say we have friends. This year our friend can still break the fast with us, worship with us, and chant takbir with us. But the next year? He's not on our side anymore. As you can imagine, we are still together today? But apparently, next year we are no longer beside you and the children. And can no longer perform fasting in the month of Ramadan? That's why we're always sad, every time Ramadan goes."

Rahma shed her tears. She hugged the body of her husband tightly. "Rahma fear. Don't talk like that."

Irsyad kissed his wife's forehead. "That's how life, dear, we can't guarantee. That we'll be together forever."

"Hiks, mom? I want to live with you forever, please."

"Csssttt... Can't talk like that. Eternity only exists in life after death. After we gather in the earth. And determine our fate later."

"iya Rahma knows. But Rahma doesn't want to talk about it. It's healthy yes... Or maybe it's better that Rahma go first, so don't be sad about losing you."

"Lohs... Later even a sad mas, because of the loneliness dear." Reply to Rahma's embrace.

"would you really be sad if Rahma left first?"

"of course, I'll probably be the most heartbroken man in the world, although I'll be sincere afterwards.but my heart will still feel lonely without you, my wife." Ustadz Irsyad kissed Rahma's head repeatedly.

"lying, you're getting married again, right? if Rahma leaves."

"if allowed anyway? can also tuh.." ledek Irsyad.

"iiihhn the nyebelinya huh? do you want to marry again?" murmur.

"hahaha.joking Umma, O Allah." hugged Rahma tighter as the mother of two children was about to break away. "inshaAllah, you are the last love of Irshad. and mas will try to keep this pledge of love, even though you are not next to me. until the death to pick up Abi and we meet again in the afterlife." said Ustadz Irsyad. while Rahma smiled when she heard that back tightened her embrace.

"Mass?"

"Hmm?"

"Rahma wants to ask, have you ever gotten tired of loving Rahma?" He asked, still hugging each other.

"Thygons like that?"

"No... Love is getting deeper." Ustadz Irsyad tipped the base of Rahma's head.

"Times?"

"Wallahi dear.." changed his position slightly to make it more comfortable. "Umma times are bored same Abi? Because Abi is no longer handsome."

"Who said? Abi is still handsome... Umma tuh new... which is getting worse, right?"

"You're still beautiful, like my old Rahma. When I look you in the face after Ijab Qabul." Looking back for a moment after being in security, Ustadz Irsyad kissed Rahma's lips three times. "Umma still loves and love is not the same Abi?" Ask her. The two looked at each other with a fluffy smile on each other's lips.

"Umma still loves Abi more than anything."

"Seriously so?" Tanya ustadz Irsyad rubbed Rahma's cheek.

"one hundred rius." Pulling Koko's collar her husband then kisses her lips and ustadz Irsyad. Ustadz Irsyad felt anxious at a woman who was not as young as before, not as slim as before, and there was even a strand of gray hair visible in her hair in the booth.

"MashaAllah, my lover. Healthy yes Umma, and thank you for faithfully accompanying Abi until this moment."

"Not just this second... Want in the afterlife too." Reply Umma Rahma sincerely.

"MashaAllah's. Aami... Aami... Then can polygamy be the same as angels in heaven?" Irsyad Ledek.

"No... Later Umma will stand in front of Abi while stretching out both hands, calling to them so as not to approach my husband." Rahma kissed Irsyad's cheek, then chuckled later.

"Ckckl... My beloved... Khumira." Smell Rahma's cheeks many times.

With the laughter of Rahma and Ustadz Irsyad, who filled the prayer room, accompanied by the noise of takbir outside.

Yep... Such is the beautiful love of Abi Irsyad and Umma Rahma.

On the other hand, there was Rumi who unbundled her intention to enter the prayer room.

With Koko, the sarong and the coffee. He just leaned against the wall, touched his chest.

'o Allah, may you please both my parents... Give their useful ages, and the priest and his increasing fear to both.' shed his tears. Rumi wished both her parents a long life, and was always by her side and her sister. Until Noah or he can give both of them a cute and adorable grandson.

Rumi again stepped foot, decided to pray sunah and berakbir in his room alone, leaving his two parents there both without disturbing the beauty of the love of the two people.

While the boy was gone... Abi Irsyad let go of his embrace, he asked Rahma to take the ablution water to both hold the sunah prayer, after which rest in the room. Because time has shown at eleven o'clock in the evening.

Rahma who assented also immediately went to the place to take ablution water near the prayer room.

After completion he returned to the husband who had held the face of Rahma, and helped put it on.

"Beautiful this grandma."

"The grandfather is also handsome." Rahma replied to her husband's taunts while laughing together. Then began their Sunnah prayer with Ustadz Irsyad who began to raise both hands while crying out takbir, and followed Rahma who was behind him.
