Gus ROKHIM, The Wound Cover
CHAPTER 52 - HOLD ON
" Whoever truly seeks patience, Allah will make it easy for him to be patient .And no one is bestowed (By Allah ) a better and broader search (his virtue ) than (by nature ) patience.( BUKHARI HR) "
" I'm not a strong woman .I even fainted when you said you were being proposed to by Gus Rohman." Himma recalled the incident where her body was limp when she heard that the man she loved would marry her best friend.
" Then why weren't you honest from the beginning ...? " press himma
" I don't know at that time I just didn't want anyone to know if we had a commitment" replied himma
" How did you get married to Gus Roy, are you happy...? or is it just your escape....?" Ulfa was curious
" You know that my husband is a very good man.he is very patient with me.I am grateful that God has brought him into my life."
" Sister Roy came and offered himself and his love to me when I was hurt.He knew everything and he didn't care if he was just me making an escape.".
" Gus Roy came with a myriad of love.And I've been happily living with him." Himma told me all the stories about herself and her husband.
" how about you are you happy to be married to the man you love so much.....?"ask Himma to Ulfa.
"I don't know if I should be happy or not." - Ulfa Himma's question frowned.
" I'm sorry I'm .but this is not what I want, I accept Gus Roy because I want you and Gus Rohman to be happy." Himma grabbed his best friend's hand.
" Him tell me. I have to step back or stay put.Honestly it seems like I can't keep going like this." Ulfa asked himma opinion.Although he is hurt and disappointed with his current situation but as a santri of course he knows if all this is a destiny.Of course he believes that behind his pain God has been preparing a pleasure we never thought we would.
" Please hold on ! " pinta himma hugged the body of her friend who was taller than her.
With a hug from her himma hoped that it would slightly reduce her friend's sadness as a fellow female himma understood what Ulfa felt.
Indeed, there is no one to blame with their complicated story.Himma and Gus Roy who love each other must be willing to let go of each other because in fact they are not fooled.As Ulfa and Gus Roy tested with patience waiting for love to spring from the day of their respective partners, they must surrender to accept destiny just try and pray is what they can do.
" Be assured that your prayer will be granted by God, is not God according to our thinking." back himma gives encouragement to Ulfa the person who has lived the joys and sorrows since they became friends.
They are indeed very compact to strengthen each other and encourage each other when they get difficulties.Even like this time even the two friends do not blame each other .They know that this is the test of God.
Destiny is sometimes painful .But we are not allowed to give up on destiny.
