Between the Dusk Border

Don't Dream

Juna blinked his eyes when he heard the thunderous sound of lightning filling the entire sky. The 17-year-old got out of a big bed at the Dawson family home.

Yes, at this time the man is still in the house Jehan family, not without reason Juna sleeps in the house, last night he was preparing to leave for home. But mama Jehan forbade it on the grounds that the rain was still falling profusely, and also because he felt guilty because his eldest son hit him because of a misunderstanding tragedy.

Juna stared at a clock on the nightstand, next to the bed, the clock showed at 01:50, Juna stood up, walking towards the bathroom located in the room, there is a little insecurity when looking at the life of Jehan who is all luxurious, while his life alone is far from good.

Juna feels inferior when he sees how perfect Jehan's life is, but the man is determined to keep trying to get Jehan, although maybe he has to fight hard.

Juna took ablution to perform night prayers, prayers that he routinely did when at home, the cold water was enough to make Juna feel fresh.

The man took the prayer mat on the table, which was neatly arranged with some Qur'an. Again Juna was amazed by the Jehan family, although busy but still kept some complete prayer tools in the guest room.

after the prayer Juna took one of the Qur'an neatly lined up, began to open and read it in a soft voice. His reading voice sank and was swallowed by the sound of lightning that continued to rumble that night.

after reading some of the holy verses of the Qur'an, Juna began to clean the room he occupied, glancing at the clock which still shows at 03.05 days which is still quite late, which is still quite late in the evening, but to sleep Juna was no longer interested.

Since he had difficulty sleeping when he had woken up, the man chose to go out to fetch some drinking water, perhaps all at once to see the quiet outside atmosphere, he said, the guest room on the lower floor makes it easy for Juna to find the kitchen, Juna poured water on the table into the glass, sipped it a little.

"ngapain lo" Juna gasped in shock, fortunately the glass in his grasp did not fall, the man turned his head, and found the woman wearing a short-sleeved shirt and matching cloth pants staring back at him, with her hair loosely unraveled in a slight disheveled fashion.

although the light was dim, but Juna knew clearly that the woman was none other than Jehan.

"he was dumb, how did he" Jehan walked towards the refrigerator, poured cold water and drank it thirsty, the water in his room was gone, so the girl was forced to come down to relieve her thirst. Unexpected and a little surprised when he found Juna was also in the kitchen with a glass filled with water in his hand.

"eh" Juna realized from his daydream, the man scratched his nape feeling foolish from daydreaming, the man stared at the movement of Jehan sitting opposite him while staring at him with narrowed eyes.

"are you answering this question ?" ask Jehan

"em, I've had a drink, so thirsty was out of prayer" Juna replied with a smile, although the smile could not be seen by Jehan because of the dim light.

"sholat ?" jehan asked, the girl frowned. A little unsure if men like Juna are diligent in worship.

"heum" Juna nodded his head confidently, Jehan was silent no longer over Arjuna's words.

"you were praying Je" asked Juna, Jehan shook his head honestly. Because the girl had woken up because of thirst, where she had time to pray. Pray only if he has the intention.

"sholat used to gih, mumpung time is still allowed, later to hunt late. His big reward is night prayer" said Juna, Jehan silently looks not interested in Juna's speech.

"isn't it the same as fardhu prayer ?" tanya Jehan, night prayer is only Sunnah prayer, the most important prayer is mandatory.

As the Prophet said, "O you men, spread greetings, give food, keep the rope of brotherhood, and pray when the people sleep at night, you will enter heaven safely." (CHR. Ibn Majah). And that night prayer has a myriad of benefits in addition to providing a great reward. A person who performs night prayers usually his prayers are much realized. Do not waste Je prayer. Lucky for you to wake up so you can carry out God's commandments." said Juna at length, Jehan gawked as he blinked his eyes.

"was his prayer really realized ?" ask Jehan

"god willing" replied Juna

"but you accompany me yes, because I have not memorized the intention of praying" said Jehan Lirih, the girl was embarrassed, caught once if she never did evening prayers.

"yes no papa, the important thing is to learn. By Allah"

"where do we pray ?" ask Jehan

"em, we pray in the guest room aja no papa, later the door is opened so as not to be misunderstood" said Juna, Jehan nodded his understanding.

"can you do ablution ?" juna asked after they arrived at the guest room, the door was wide open so that if anyone saw it did not become a bad prejudice.

"it could be that" Juna nodded letting Jehan walk towards the bathroom and fetch some ablution water, the man sat on the edge of the bed waiting for Jehan.

Juna gave direction and intention to pray tahajud to Jehan, the girl nodded her head in understanding, began to wear a mukena that was in the same place as the prayer mat.

"God's beauty is very beautiful" Juna noticed Jehan who began to hold prayer, and pray. Honestly there was a feeling of guilt when he remembered that he had kissed Jehan's lips by force, it was a disgraceful act that made God angry. But Juna is also an ordinary man, the man can make mistakes.

"you're beautiful if you wear a mukena, it must be more beautiful if you wear a veil" Juna smiled gently at the brown Neutra Jehan who was staring at him, the girl had just finished her prayers.

"if at school the clothes are short, where can wear a veil" said Jehan, the girl was still sitting in her place with her face covered.

"can you change into a long uniform, right ?" ask Juna

"i'm not ready yet, afraid that it will come out again if I wear a hijab. It will not be Istiqomah" replied Jehan, again Juna smiled.

"yaw ngga papa, kept praying five times, if you can in order to wake up the night trus prayer. Later if you become a sister's wife, brother wants you to wear hijab continue yes" Juna smiled, while Jehan who was smiling slowly let out his smile. The girl's face turned flat hearing Juna's words.

"don't dream" Jehan sighed piety

"destiny no one knows the deck" Juna smiled sweetly.
