Hijab And Waiting

Diana's Courage

At midnight at exactly 03.00 am Diana woke up and rushed to the bathroom to take ablution water and perform the sunnah worship that she used to do every day. He began to pray, after he finished praying for guidance to God, about what decision he should choose. Many things were actually a burden on Diana's mind. Either he should choose, or he should reject both. I don't know....Diana was very much in a dilemma with that. He prayed while crying. On the one hand, he feels not ready if he has to spend the rest of his life to get married, even though his current age is not even 19 years. The air drifted far away flying without direction. Not to mention in his heart there is still no love for the two men. As he had to choose, both were in the same position.

Oh Allah....

Give your servant a clue as to what I should decide.

Should I get married or not at this young age?

If the servant should marry, on whom the servant should make a choice.

Diana's tears flowed between her prayers that night. He was really very confused. Deep in his heart still want to reach his mind and future. On the one hand, he did not want to disappoint Oma. Oma's words always ring in her ears. Oma once said about Mama Hani whose life is difficult and her household is a mess because she did not want to listen to the advice of Oma before. Diana did not want to experience things like her mother experienced. But on the other hand, he was confused as to how. Andre is also very good to him, his life is even more established than Hafiz. Andre's family is also very happy.

Diana wiped away the tears with both her palms. He ended his prayer, and folded back his prayer mat and his face. Diana returned to the bed and laid down her body while looking up at the sky. Suddenly his phone rang, a short message entered his phone. He opened the message immediately.

Assalamualaikum says.

Have you prayed istikharah Diana?

The message sent by Hafiz left Diana dumbfounded, why could it be a coincidence? Diana slightly concluded the smile on her lips. But he did not reply to the message.

As usual, Diana left to go to work at Bu Lani's house. Today he wears a brown polka-dotted robe and a rectangular wolfis-colored hijab. From today, Diana gets an additional assignment from Lani to teach Miko after school. Because next week Miko will be taking the exam. With full spirit, Diana went to work as usual. Arriving when in the middle of the road, there is a car that axes the motor driven by Kevin and Diana. Diana turned towards the glass, looking as if a woman was stopping them. Diana asked Kevin to stop.

"Hey the actor, how much did you get paid to work at Andre's house? I can get you a bigger salary as long as you want to help me turn back the same Andre," said the woman who does not know the shame that is none other than Meli's ex-wife Andre.

"Astagfirullohaladzim..," Diana stroked her chest.

"Don't be your saint, you village girl don't know shame. I'm warning you, don't try to tease Andre. Because I won't stay still" Meli told Diana.

"Hey, who are you. Don't be rude to me, yes," said Kevin did not accept his brother in despicable like that.

"Deck, it's okay. This is my business" said Diana to calm Kevin.

"This is what you want, take it. After that do not go back to Andre's house again," said Meli while putting a brown envelope containing money into Diana's hands.

"I'm sorry, I'm not what I'm accusing you of. I know Andre better than Ma'am. But I never used dirty ways like mbak. And one more yes mbak, not me who chased Andre mas, but Andre mas who chased me. He even proposed to me last night. I am a difficult person, but I have never humbled myself like a mother" Diana said.

Kevin looked in wonder at his brother. Because all this time, Diana was a lot of silent when faced with any situation and conditions. Kevin did not expect that his brother was so brave to face people like Meli.

"Don't be rude of you yes," said Meli while raising her right hand to slap Diana's face, Diana who knew the gelagat Meli immediately caught Meli's hand.

"What is the attitude of an educated man? Do not dirty your hands with sins. It's take mbak money, maybe mbak need more than me. One more, without asking. I wouldn't want to marry Andre who has slept with a cruel woman like mbak," said Diana ketus while dumping the brown envelope to Meli and with a little code Kevin already knew to immediately do his motorbike.

On the way Kevin asked his brother again.

"Aren't you sure what?" ask Kevin was.

"Look down the deck, I'm not a kid she can threaten" Diana said, trying to be okay.

"You are a child, you must not interfere in the affairs of the mother," said Diana as she got off the bell because it turns out they have arrived.

At 10:00 Miko had come home from school picked up by Bu Lani. Diana was in the kitchen cooking for lunch.

"Diana, later taught Miko to run out of zuhur aja ya Di," said Bu Lani.

"Oh yes ma'am it's okay" said Diana briefly.

"Soalnya soon Miko wants to learn naji first, mother has asked her homeroom teacher to come home. Thank God he wants," said Ms. Lani again.

"That's what Hafiz ma'am means?" diana said guessing because she already knew that Hafiz was Miko's teacher.

"Yes, how do you know Miko's teacher?" ask Bu Lani wonder.

"It just so happens that Diana has known Hafiz since two years ago ma'am. Just not too close" replied Diana.

Arriving from behind appeared the figure of Miko who had changed her suit koko all white.

"Ma, Miko's teacher is handsome, isn't she Ma?" tanya Miko arrived to Bu Lani.

"Haha...You can already judge yes," said Bu Lani with a laugh.

"The evidence every day a lot of food for the teacher. But unfortunately the teacher does not like them," said Miko seriously that makes Diana and Bu Lani more chuckled.

"You are, yes, a child. I know that. Studying hard!" said Ms. Lani again.

"Mama says not to believe. Miko's master teacher likes her equally mbak Diana ma," Miko's last words make Diana choke.

"uhuk uhuk.." Diana looked at Miko. "When there, soon the teacher came," said Diana then to melt the atmosphere at that time.

Ms. Lani looked at Diana with question marks. Diana turned to her job again. Shortly afterwards, a motorbike entered Bu Lani's courtyard. It looks like Hafiz is parking his bike.
