After a while still talking about the incident just now, Aura and Sherin decided to clean up and do dhuhur prayer together, because the time was already shown past one noon.
Aura was about to fold her face and wanted to rest for a while before returning home. Sherin was still sitting on a prayer mat with her body wrapped in mucus.
The aura was about to move from the room first, if only his pair of eyes had not caught anything from Sherin.
Sherin who was still stuck as if lena in prayer and tafakkur, looks shaken body, as if holding a sob.
“Sherin.” A gushing aura came over, and sure enough, Sherin's pretty face was wet with tears. “You still think?” asked Aura softly.
Sherin immediately wiped her tears, and looked at Aura trying to display a smile. “I was crying for myself,” he said softly.
“Why, Rin?” Aura immediately sat perfectly in front of her best friend to start listening to her story.
“Mas Alarik's thoughts on all these events. I felt his distress, his sadness, his burden of responsibility, his hopes and his desires. All about him I rest assured, I ask God. At that moment, I realized that I loved him very much, Aura ..” Sherin was choked because of a blocked sound. Until no more words can be said, except tears that speak of wounds that stick.
“I realize, I love him very much, I love him too, as if I can't afford to leave him let alone in his current state, Aura. I got confused,” isak Sherin with a slightly stammered voice.
Aura immediately clenched her best friend's body and rubbed her shoulder gently. “Remember what Quinsha said yesterday, if what will be your choice is not just enough thought. But carry out istikharah for guidance to Allah.”
Sherin nodded weakly. He did all that, but this is what is happening now. It's like a warning, that Sherin can't leave. The woman lies in worry, swayed by thought, which changes and turns do not find resolution.
“I'm worried, Aura,” fret Sherin with a complaining voice.
“Yes I can feel it, Sherin.” Aura again rubbed Sherin's shoulders gently. “Don't ask yourself to decide now, just leave it until you really get settled. The guidance of God comes with comfort and calm. But when you're worried, it's just a trick of the mind.”
Aura conveyed a sentence taken from the description of Kyai first, when naji buku in pesantren. Sherin doesn't know about it. Only when one is in trouble does half of that intelligence and understanding seem to be lost. Move on to a friend or brother, to whom we tell will complain there.
It is important to have friends who share and counsel each other in terms of kindness.
Sherin was silent, and slowly he nodded. “Astaghfirloh,” hisses.
“Sherin, Aura, what's up?” suddenly, a question was heard from Claudya, whether since when the Aura's in-laws had been present there.
Aura and Sherin could only look at each other, and did not immediately give an answer.
Sherin just shook her head slowly and lowered her head. Seeing that, Claudya turned her eyes to Aura who was also still silent, because she felt that Sherin was the one who deserved the answer.
“Did Alarik not treat Sherin well?” ask Claudya.
“Good, mas Alarik was kind to me all this time,” Sherin said immediately, before Claudya got caught in the wrong assessment.
“Then? Why did I just hear you guys talking like that?” sue Claudya.
“Om Al, good Momm same Sherin. It's just that all this time om Al was as if only living for his past,” Aura explained to her mother-in-law.
“kanaya?” Claudya.
Aura nodded, while Sherin could only bow down.
“Thank you, Brother,” said Alarik to Claudya when his eldest brother said goodbye to go home first with Aura. While Damaresh still remains there to take care of some things with Alarik.
Claudya nodded as she patted the shoulder of her youngest sister.
“All those things must have passed, as well as your calamity. Everything will be back fine.”
Claudya delivered a wise sentence that made Alarik nod his head in a heartfelt manner.
“Hopefully, Brother. Thank you for the support.”
“So much with your life, Al. Do not let yourself continue to be injured, if you have a chance to heal,” continued Claudya who made Alarik instantly clenched his mouth tightly.
“I do not deserve to say this, because I am a person who has wallowed with many mistakes. Precisely because of that, I don't want my mistakes to be repeated by my sister,”.
“Kak, I ..”
“If you continue to sink in with your past, you will lose your future. Life goes ahead, Alarik. Not to the back.”
