Flowers from Heaven II

EPILOGUE I

*The Subconscious Nature of Zahra

Zahra realized she was somewhere, a place so bright it felt, that everything looked white by the light.

There was nothing Zahra saw, just a big light coming in.

As he walked closer to the very bright light, Zahra was suddenly startled by the coming of the figure of the man who came out of the very bright light.

"My son-in-law." he said in a voice that sounded very gallant

Zahra did not immediately answer, he rubbed his eyes to be able to see clearly the face of someone who was very gallant.

"It's Me, son.. Your father-in-law." continued he said when he saw Zahra was just busy rubbing his eyes for the sake of seeing clearly

"Alfath's Dad?" zahra asked in disbelief, because the face of the Alfath was invisible because of the glare by the bright light

"Yes it's me." replied Alfath reassuring Zahra

"Where are you going?" alfath asked after seeing Zahra walking closer to the bright light

"I want to get into that light, Father." replied Zahra while showing a light that was still shining brightly in her sight

"Go home.. Go back to your husband and your family." said Alfath, arresting Zahra

"But why Dad?" asked Zahra curiously

"There are people who desperately need your affection, there is your husband who is very much waiting for your return.. It's not time for you yet" Alfath told Zahra at length to reassure her

At once Zahra was silent, digesting all the words of her father-in-law that she had encountered under her consciousness.

"But I want to see what's behind that bright light" Zahra said curiously.

"It's not yet time, son." replied Alfath quickly

"But dad?" again asked Zahra who was very curious

"Go back... God gives you a chance" said Alfath again told him to return immediately

"Then what about Dad?" asked Zahra because she wanted to be with her father-in-law

"I'm very happy here.. My job is done in the world." replied Alfath with a very sweet smile

Zahra was confused by his father-in-law's orders, she turned around and walked away from the light.

After a few steps Zahra walked away from the bright light, she turned back to look at her father-in-law whose face was completely invisible because it was too glare by the light.

When Zahra turned her body, Alfath's figure was no longer there.

"Aaaaaayyyyaaahhhhh." shouted Zahra while looking for the figure of the Alfath around there.

The source of the bright light was gone unseen by Zahra. Zahra grew curious as to where it all went, she kept turning her body to make sure everything.

"Where's dad?" again said Zahra because he wanted to make sure the figure of Alfath

But there was no answer, now it felt like the room was just plain bright white, without even a very bright light.

Zahra was confused as to where she was. Suddenly there was the sound of prayers that he heard clearly, but out of nowhere the source of the voice was.

Zahra silently listened carefully to all the words.

"Arka's Mas?" zahra said confirming the sound he heard

Zahra was silent again, her eyes were round, her ears were well placed to listen to the prayers offered by her husband.

"Please give us time to be together again, O God.. Allow us to come together as a whole family, happily with our children.. Ridhoi all these hopes, O Allah" continued Arka said as he rubbed his face guaranteeing his prayers

Zahra digested all the Arcan prayers well. She was still silent even though now what sounded was the chanting of dhikr and sholawat from her husband's mouth.

"Mas Arka needs me.. My son too.. Dad's right, I need to get back to them immediately." said Zahra

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

Zahra, who had been critical for a month, began to make her organs almost no longer function due to the absence of movements, all as if numb. Zahra tried to move her fingers which she felt she would not have an flavor, then she opened her eyes slowly.

"Mas.." call Zahra when she first wakes up.

Indeed he knew that always faithful waiting for him was the figure of the husband he loved so much.

The last day before Zahra realized was the day that Zahra convinced herself to be strong enough to survive, she knew there were people who were still faithful waiting for her, there were husbands and children who needed her most.
