A Tale of Ary

21. Proximity Brings Hidayah

Weeks, Sundays changed months. The friendship between Bayu and Ary is getting closer. Not only OSIS assessment activities, Bayu also invited Ary to attend Sunday morning lectures held at the city's Grand Mosque.

"Ary, Sunday morning tomorrow you have no event, or what is it?" ask Bayu suddenly.

They are currently walking towards the school parking lot, following a UN exercise for the successors of the OSIS board.

"Nothing, brother. What's up, huh?" ask Ary.

"Usually if it's Sunday morning, I just jog for a while and then help Mother clean up" he added.

"Follow Sunday morning at the Grand Mosque, yuk!" bring Bayu.

"What time does the show start, brother?" ask Ary again."

"Keep done what time?"(Ish, Ary asked a lot. Just please just why let Bayu's heart be happy \=kata author 😀)

"Starting the show at half-eight, finished around the ninth." replied Bayu.

"But brother, ten o'clock we have to stay in GOR for PS swiftlet exercise. What's going to be hunted, time is really mepet?"

"Usually nine o'clock has come out of the mosque, the tausiyanya not long. Therefore, bring a change of clothes so that one way. Not going home just to change clothes." explained Bayu.

"Waste of time it's his name if it's like that!" beu Bayu.

Sunday morning finally Ary also went to Sunday morning study at the Grand Mosque. Ary is excited to go to the Grand Mosque. Last night he asked permission from both of his parents. Her father and mother were very supportive of Ary going to college.

Ary goes to the Grand Mosque on his bike, he hums a little along the way to drive away the quiet. Ary set out alone from home, he and Bayu only promise to meet in the Grand Mosque alone.

The event began not long after Ary entered the Grand Mosque. Event after event Ary follows with wisdom. Tausiyah today contains about the obligation of a woman who is already puberty to hijab. It is the duty to close the aurat and its jewels from men who are not mahramnya.

Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala said :

"O Prophet, say to your wives, your daughters and the wives of believers. "May they extend their veil all over their bodies."

That is so that they are easier to recognize so that they are not disturbed. And Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Merciful." (Q.l. Al Ahazab 59)

In addition, there is another word of Allah SWT which means :

"Tell the multkarimah women, "Let them bow their eyes and keep their ******** and not show their jewelry, except what is commonly seen from it.

Let them cover their veils over their necks and not show their jewels except in the presence of their husbands, or their fathers, or the fathers of their husbands (father-in-law)..." (Q.l. Or Nur :31)

Not long after that the show was over. Ary exits the mosque and waits for Bayu at the gate of the Grand Mosque.

Ary and Bayu go to GOR to do martial arts training pencak silat white swallow. Arriving at GOR, they headed to the bathroom to change clothes. Then join his friends for martial arts practice.

An hour and a half later, the training was over. Ary and Bayu rest for a while outside the building, they both sit on the stairs of the building's emperor while telling stories.

"Ary, may I call you sister?" asked Bayu suddenly while sitting carrying two glasses of young coconut ice. Then she puts a glass on Ary.

"Well?!" Ary was shocked to hear Bayu's question.

"Thank you, just know someone else is thirsty" Ary diverted the question from Bayu.

"Together, sir." replied Bayu.

"Sister, can you?"

"Eits! We're not mahram, don't touch!" canda Bayu's.

"It won't touch the skin, hold the sleeves too!" ary answered tightly while sticking out his tongue 😛.

"Later if we are married, we can touch the skin" said Bayu.

"What the hell is this? Not funny to know!" Ary frowned, advancing her lips.

"Udah! Don't frown, ugly tau!" Bayu laughed at Ary's behavior.

"Smile dong! Let it be more beautiful." persuaded Bayu.

Ary remained pouting, she turned her back to Bayu.

"Anyways, you're getting prettier with a hijab. Do not remove yes, Istiqamah wear hijab" said Bayu while stroking the top of Ary's head covered with hijab.

Actually Ary wanted to turn to face Bayu once he heard Bayu's words earlier. But it was undone, he wanted to hear Bayu continue his words.

"If you wear a hijab, you will feel safe. Because the hijab will keep you away from people who mean evil to you."

"Others, if you reveal your awrah. It is the same as inviting the attention of men to harass you. Invite men to touch your body."

"I beg you to keep wearing the hijab. Father and Mother will also be spared from the fire of hell if you hijab, because it has succeeded in educating their children to obey the teachings of Islam. Do you love them?" ask Bayu at the end of his advice.

Ary who heard Bayu's words felt moved. Because only this time there was someone other than his family, persuading him to hijab.

Ary starts to shed tears, she feels very happy because Bayu is so attentive to her. He slowly turned his body while wiping away his tears.

"Insha Allah sis. Pray Ary yes, brother. May Istiqamah wear the hijab. Ary is still learning" Ary said with a sweet smile.

"I ask you to be hijab, because I care about you. I want to be a pious Muslim woman, can be the pride of parents" Bayu said. Bayu does not want Ary to know the real reason, why Bayu asked Ary to hijab.

Actually Bayu does not want Ary to be the center of attention of men. He hopes that one day Ary will be his companion. So great is his love for Ary, Bayu wants to protect Ary without Ary knowing.

"Back, yuk! It's over from my drink." take Ary.

"Come on! I turned back the glass first yes, pity mamang who sells ice. Losing two glasses does not make a profit even dumbfounded." Bayu kelakar.

During his friendship with Bayu, Ary felt comfortable and flattered. Bayu always treated Ary like a princess. Bayu always keeps Ary's feelings. Not once Ary felt hurt during with Bayu these few months.

After Bayu returned the glass and paid for the ice, they went home on a bicycle.

"Where, why wear a hijab? Not getting hot on his head from the sun?" ask Bayu. It's midday, where the sunlight is right over her head.

"Yes, brother. It's really hot, but comfortable. Hair is not messy, cycling is calm because it does not go back and forth fix messy hair blown by the wind." Ary chuckled with a typical grin of her dimples.
