Dilla (Dilla's Journey of Love)

Curious

The next day, this prayer is Dilla's first prayer after a few days of being obstructed and absent from fulfilling her obligations, Dilla did her daily routine as she used to do since long ago, bathing, praying, and praying, tadarus then began to learn to memorize the Qur'an.

After completing her routine, Dilla folded her face and the alphabet she had used to fulfill her obligations as a Muslim, then she kept it on a small cupboard in the corner of her room, along with that phone ringing notification that there was a message coming in, Dilla immediately picked it up located on top of her bed, because just after turning off the alarm she put it just anywhere there. Dilla opens a message that turns out the sender is Ustadz Saiful.

📩 Ustadz Saiful

Assalamu'alaikum Dilla tea, can after dzuhur later take a little time? There is something I want to say, God is very important!

Without waiting for long, Dilla immediately typed a message in her cellphone to reply to a message from Ustadz Saiful.

📨Dilla

Wa'alaikum salam kang, both in shaa Allah I try after dzuhur later I will meet.

His little heart was of course wondering because it was not usual for ustadz Saiful to ask him to speak specifically if there was nothing really important. But Dilla tried to cover up her curiosity by immediately opening the thick curtains and windows of her room, the morning breeze that made the fresh morning air went in through the pores of the thin curtains that felt cold stuck in his skin, and the day was bright enough.

Today Dilla entered college at 8, she immediately prepared because today it was Dilla's turn to pick up Dhera at her home. After being neat and complete with clothes and hijab, Dilla walked down the stairs of her house to the dining room and as usual, her parents welcomed her warmly. Dilla enjoyed her breakfast and did not forget she also told him the message she received from ustadz Saiful.

"Maybe there is something important, you should meet later, papa also become curious" said papa Dilla who had finished his breakfast.

"Yes mama is also curious, usually if it is not important that can be discussed later during the study, even today our schedule of studies is also with him," mama Dilla chimed in with Dilla's reply with a nod and a smile because Dilla was enjoying her mother's breakfast with the curiosity that also felt by her mother and father.

Dilla's family regularly conducts a study once a week at her home with her closest neighbors, except for Sean's parents who now always avoid when meeting Dilla's parents, because it is very embarrassed, because they are very shy, even often when they cross paths Sean's parents only give a thin smile or pretend not to see, even though Dilla's parents try to be ordinary, just to be normal, because they are convinced according to the understanding they get when studying that a soul mate, death, sustenance are all determined.

Now Dilla is on campus with her best friend Dhera. Dilla had of course told Dhera everything, there was never a single secret that escaped from these two friends. They were like siblings who never hesitated to tell anything, Dilla was close to Dhera's parents and Dhera was Dilla's parents, his best friend's parents are like his second parents.

When Dilla's parents or Dhera's parents go out of town and abroad even though they always buy the same item for both. His friendship is not only between the two of them but also their parents, they visit each other, go together, vacation together, or just a family hangout together. Even during the study at Dilla's house, Dhera's parents were never absent.

Dilla and Dhera are both single children, Dilla's mother has no more children because she experienced psychic trauma during the birth of Dilla, a small tumor attached to the wall of her uterus caused her to let her uterus be removed when she was 7 months pregnant, Dilla had to be born by force through the surgical process of removing her uterus, because of the severe bleeding she experienced. Mama Dilla has resigned to her condition and also her baby, but thank God's goodness, magic and power Dilla grew into a beautiful girl, the only grace that God gave and it will no longer be possible for God to leave a sister to Dilla, because the womb of Dilla's mother has been lifted.

While Dhera becomes an only child because his parents are difficult to get offspring, Dhera was only they got after 9 years of marriage through a natural process, they do not want to do a pregnancy program like other couples, because for them when God leaves it a sign they deserve to be given trust, if not they will not force it.

That's a bit of history why Dilla and Dhera do not have siblings, it also makes them closer because they both feel the same loneliness, the meeting of the two and a sense of belonging to the same fate, making them feel more than just friends is even more like siblings.

Maybe that's what Dilla's head is in right now.

The first course for this day ended, Dilla and Dhera headed to the campus cafeteria because at 10.45 they will return to face lectures until 12.15. Dilla's agitated and unsettled behavior did not escape Dhera's attention, "Lo from earlier was agitated, Ra."

"Oh, yes Ra, I koq so the thought continues what is, until Ustadz Saiful want to talk to me."

"Maybe it's a spiritual problem" Dhera guessed.

"It's a matter of rohis, never to send a message, he must have found me at home according to the study schedule."

"Oh yes, hr this is a study schedule at your home, I'm really curious as well."

"Eat him, my mom is equally curious."

"Ra, tar I pinjem the material note that was yes, I missed a lot earlier like."

"Beres neng geulis, do not dream mulu mulu, kalem anyway!" exciting Dhera.

"Ra's mind, it's crazy that I'm really curious to use."

"Yes, I'm also curious."

They also eat in the cafeteria with curiosity that never goes away in the mind, especially Dilla.

The clock has shown at 10:30, Dilla and Dhera are rushing to the second class today, which happens to be on the 3rd floor, they do not want to be late, he said, because the lecturer of this second course is known ribet and killer.

And now that they were in the classroom, Dilla began to get rid of her curiosity because she wanted to focus on this important course, otherwise she had to repeat it again the next year. Though the thought of Saiful's ustadz message this morning was still the most dominant theme in his brain.
