Droplets of Night Creatures

307. The Ghoib Mosque ?

In a mosque, the Kautsar was praying. He asked God to keep his wife and baby safe.

" O God. I've accepted my destiny to marry Aruna. I love her and I want my baby in her womb safe. But all I give back to You, O God. If taking my baby is the best, I take it. But if I may beg, let us have the child. Laa haula wala quwwata ilaa billahil aliyyil adzim. Please grant my prayers, God. Aamiin..," muttered Kautsar and rubbed his face.

Kautsar lowered his head deeply. There is a sense of anxiety that haunts his soul because it is worried about the condition of Aruna and the baby in her womb. But after the prayer and prayer Kautsar feel much calmer.

Slowly Kautsar got up and grabbed the Qur'an mushaf neatly stored in the bookshelf. The Kautsar began to read it slowly. The Kautsar could not hold back his tears as he read the verses in the mushaf. All his restlessness seemed to dissolve with the strands of the Quran he read.

Kautsar felt this was the height of his fear of being married to Aruna. She is always worried whenever Aruna turns into a werewolf. But of all the nights he has been through, this is the most 'horror' night for the Kautsar.

How not. In Aruna's womb there is an innocent baby growing up. Kautsar worries that Aruna is unconscious when she becomes a werewolf and hurts her baby.

In the previous incident Aruna was chasing after him. At that time Kautsar could still think positively because he felt he was the only one Aruna wanted. But at this time Kautsar can no longer think positively until he drove the motor is not necessarily the direction with high speed earlier.

Fortunately, the Kautsar was still under God's guidance until he had not fled too far. In his escape Kautsar saw a mosque and was interested in stopping there. Kautsar got off the motor and rushed to the ablution. After that he performed the prayer of sunah to calm down and worship Allah, then ended with teaching.

The sound of the chanting of the holy verse that Kautsar read sounded heartbreaking. That was because while reading it the Kautsar tried to hold back the tears that were urgent to come out. Many times Kautsar stopped reading only to wipe his wet face.

Apparently what the Kautsar did attracted the attention of the mosque's marbot. He approached the Kautsar and sat down next to him. After that the marbot named Subhan rubbed the Kautsar's back gently to just calm him down.

Kautsar turned his head and smiled when he saw the shady face of the man who rubbed his back.

" Thank you Sir. I'm fine, '" said Kautsar.

" I believe it. You must have received an answer to the question you asked God earlier." said Subhanallah with a smile .

" Did you hear what I said earlier...?" ask Kautsar.

" I didn't hear anything. Because your prayer is your business with God. I am not worthy to interfere.., "Subhan said.

Subhan's reply made the Kautsar frown. Subhan also smiled because he understood that the interlocutor did not understand what he said.

" Look..," Subhan's speech was interrupted.

" Cautsar. My name is Kautsar Pak..," said Kautsar introducing himself as he extended his hand.

" Good Mas Kautsar. My name is Subhan. I am a marbot in this mosque. My assignment here has been almost twenty years. And during that time also I often see people who are upset like Mas Kautsar praying and crying here." said Subhan.

" So it's not new this time Mr. Subhan saw a madman like me yes Sir.," said Kautsar with a sigh of relief.

" right. And usually they will stop crying after getting an answer to their complaint or question. The answer I mean could be peace of mind, certainty of attitude, or lessening of pain. So it makes sense that I told you that Mas Kautsar has found the answer...?" subhan asked with a funny face.

" Yes sir..," said Kautsar with a small laugh.

" But I'm glad to see Mas Kautsar and those who are afraid to come here and cry here." said Subhan.

" Why is that, sir...?" ask Kautsar not understand.

" Bringing up the problems we have to God is the best way to go instead of running things elsewhere. Like drug, drug, ngetrack or other negative things. Isn't that so Kautsar...? " ask Subhan.

" Right Sir. Although maybe the answer we want still has to go through the process, but ask for help the same who created Us is the absolute truth that is indisputable..," said Kautsar steady to make Subhan smile.

" May you, after coming out of this mosque, receive guidance, peace of mind and Istiqomah in kindness. Aamiin..," said Subhan sincerely.

" Aamiin's. Thank you for the prayer, sir..," said Kautsar after rubbing his face.

Kautsar was jolted because he felt Subhan's palm draining the cool air that made him comfortable. At the same time the Kautsar also felt if tired which had been whipping his heart and physical vanished somewhere.

" I plan to go home to see My Wife Sir..," Kautsar said.

" good. Go straight home and don't stop by anywhere else." said Subhan as he stood up.

" Why is it, sir...?" ask Kautsar while also rising up and putting the Quran he had read into the bookshelf.

" It's almost dawn. Kasian. She must be worried because you're not coming home. Moreover, you also do not tell him where you are now. Aren't you...?" guess Subhan.

The Kautsar turned towards the wall clock and nodded.

" But you are right. If so, I say yes sir. Thank you for everything." Kautsar said, kissing the back of Subhan's hand in reverence.

" Together, be careful huh..," said Subhan as he rubbed the Kautsar's head gently.

Subhan then escorted the Kautsar to the terrace of the mosque. Kautsar also start his motorbike and then say hello.

" Let Mr. Subhan, Assalamualaikum., "said Kautsar then drove his motorbike away from the mosque.

" Alaikumsalam. Good luck to Mas Kautsar," said Subhan as he waved his hand.

Kautsar assures in his heart with a smile. He drove his bike with a calm feeling. But suddenly Kautsar was confronted by three people dressed in security uniforms. The shocked Kautsar tried to neutralize his feelings.

" Athaghfirullah aladzim. Ngagetin aja..," said Kautsar while braking his motorbike.

" We should ask, why did Mas go there...?" ask one of the security while staring intensely at the Kautsar.

" Kok. What a strange question. His name is also a mosque yes definitely to go there to pray dong Pak..," said Kautsar upset.

" Which mosque is Mas?. There is no mosque here" said one man to the surprise of the Kautsar.

" The mosque i..," Kautsar's speech was interrupted because when he turned his head the mosque he had visited was no longer there.

Kautsar blinked his eyes as he only saw the field behind him. There is no building there, let alone a mosque. Then the Kautsar turned towards the three men before him. He observed them from head to toe to make sure they were not ghosts.

" If there is no mosque there, then I went where dong Pak...?" ask Kautsar with a cold nape.

" Maybe Mas ghoib mosque." said one security while smiling meaningfully.

" But squirming is fine, right...?" ask one of the security.

" Thank God I'm fine, sir. If so, excuse me first. Thank you sir, Assalamualaikum..," Kautsar said and immediately drove his motorbike away from the place.

There was no answer but the Kautsar did not care.

While advancing his motor Kautsar tried to see the reflection of the three security through his rearview mirror. Unfortunately the Kautsar saw nothing there except three pocong figures standing and staring at him.

" Athaghfirullah aladziim, what else is this..," muttered Kautsar while accelerating the speed of his motorbike.

While driving his vehicle Kautsar continues chanting the verse of the Chair in his heart until he arrives in front of the house.
