Hijab And Waiting

Grieved

After finishing the morning prayers, Diana rushed to the kitchen to help Oma.

"Oma, Hafiz's father passed away last night at 2am" Diana said.

"Innalillah....So you want to go see me?" ask Diana.

"What is Oma ngizinin?" ask Diana again.

"Go, bring your friends!" said Oma.

Diana immediately returned to the room and tried to contact Maryam the friend closest to her. He also told Maryam about his intention to commit adultery to Hafiz's house which took an hour. Maryam agreed to Diana's invitation, and immediately prepared to be ready.

Diana was done with the robe and the white Hijab, she waited for Maryam on the side of the road where they had agreed. Shortly thereafter, Maryam appeared.

"Are we not too early?" ask Maryam.

"Our journey takes an hour, so if we get there quickly, ntar can go home quickly too. Because the bus there is only one Mar" said Diana.

"Do you know where it's not yet?" ask Maryam worried.

"Not yet, but the word sister Hafiz is not difficult kok nyarinya" said Diana so as not to worry about her best friend.

The journey they went through felt very long, let alone the path they went through many broken. An hour's drive, they arrived at their destination. The driver who brought them happened to know Hafiz's father and his family. The driver also gave a hint to Diana so as not to get lost.

They walked into the hallway which on the left right there are many houses of residents. Just a few steps away, Diana and Maryam had seen a red flag and there was a blue tent in front of the courtyard of a house. People seem to be flocking to the house. Diana and Maryam looked at each other in confusion.

"Where is Mar, no one we know here" said Diana who felt reluctant.

"Yes we have just entered, trus nyalami who has a house" said Maryam with full courage. It is not wrong Diana chose Maryam to accompany her.

Diana and Maryam's footsteps began to close to the temple expert's house, for some reason Diana's heart was unable to be invited to compromise. It felt like it was beating a thousand times faster than usual. He held his chest and tried

take a deep breath before entering the house. Maryam stared at Diana as she clasped her arms tightly as Diana understood what was going on with Diana. They also enter.

"Assalamualaikum", said Diana and Maryam simultaneously and answered by people who were in the house.

Diana and Maryam greeted everyone in the room. To the temple master's family, the youngest sister of Hafiz's father Farida. Maryam first greeted Farida's mother and Diana followed behind her. The heart seemed to jump when Farida maam greeted Diana and immediately hugged Diana tightly. Even though when shaking hands with Maryam, Farida did not hug her. Diana felt very surprised, Diana had even met Farida's mother for the first time. Finally Diana was carried away by the atmosphere at that time, her tears began to flow from her beautiful eyelids. Maryam also looked in wonder at her best friend. Then they stand about to go to the bathroom, a journey that is quite tiring makes them want to immediately throw away small.

Arriving at the bathroom door, he passed by a man he knew. Hafiz had just come out of the bathroom after carrying out his father's fardu kifayah. And want to be a priest praying the corpse, Hafiz is indeed a good and righteous young man. Hafiz looked at Diana with a glazed look. Diana felt her lips were muddled, so she did not know what to say to Hafiz. Finally Hafiz just threw a smile at Diana and was reciprocated by Diana. After that, Hafiz came out.

Diana, who was finished and came out of the bathroom, finally sat in the kitchen room with the other family to prepare everything for the funeral. He was with a woman bilal who was in charge of taking care of the corpse equipment. He also began to talk.

"Where are you from, son?" the middle-aged woman asked Diana whose face looked unfamiliar.

"I am from Bandar Selamat bu village" said Diana mentioned the name of her residence.

"Hafiz was a good son, he was even much different from his late father. It was fortunate that her parents had a son like her. He only lives alone with his father, because the same father his mother was divorced when he was still in Elementary School" said bilal who named Mrs Titin.

Deg. Turns out Hafiz broke home is also like me. Mumbled Diana.

"His whole life took care of his sick father. Now his father is dead, so he is alone", added Titin again sad.

Somehow Diana felt very concerned about the words of Mrs Titin. She wants to be a good friend of Hafiz.

Starting at noon, Diana and Maryam said goodbye to go home. They only say goodbye to Ms. Farida, Hafiz's aunt. Hafiz had not yet returned from the funeral. Diana stayed a lot along their journey.

"Sadly Mar, it turns out that the story of his brother Hafiz is not much different from me" replied Diana with a sad tone.

"Everyone lives by their own destiny. We must accept all the ordinances of God. God also gives trials to those who can receive them. So don't be sad. There are many out there whose fate is worse than ours" said Maryam trying to encourage Diana.

Diana wiped away the tears that fell without her noticing.

"Thank you Mar, already want to nemenin me" said Diana again.

"Yes" said Maryam briefly.

************

Diana lay on the bed while staring at the sky of her room. Soon Diana will graduate High School, mama has told Diana that she cannot afford to pay for Diana's college. Diana felt very sad with the words of her mother, but she did not want to burden the old man who lived one of her. Papa don't know where the jungle is, Diana never knew. But Papa is clearly still alive.

Did Diana's phone ring? He saw the wall clock, at 22:00. Who called ya? Diana immediately grabbed the phone that was on her study table. Her name Hafiz is on the phone screen.

"Assalamualaikum sis", replied Diana excitedly.

"Waalaikumsalam Diana's. Not sleeping yet, right?" Hafiz tried to make sure.

"Not yet, what's wrong, brother?" ask Diana again.

"Thank you for coming" said Hafiz a little softly.

"Oh yes, brother, I'm happy to be able to come there. I was just confused to say what time was there" said Diana honestly.

"Ehm....Diana....You want to be my life partner?" hafiz said with complete confidence.

What does this mean, question? So girlfriend or what? Trus must answer what donk. Diana was confused.

"Ehm.", Diana was silent for a few seconds.

"I'm sorry Diana, you don't have to answer right now" said Hafiz to make Diana herself run out of dictionaries.

Hafiz turned the conversation to something else. For half an hour, they ended the conversation.
