See you for a long time, buddy.
The priest was waiting for his departure that night. It feels heavy to leave the beloved homeland. Leaving his parents, his only daughter, and also his loved ones.
Moreover, his departure is without saying goodbye to friends and relatives. The move was so heavy to get in when the call to the passengers was announced.
" Huuuffftt "
Sighing slowly then basmalah, the Imam once again convinced himself this was the best decision to take. The loss of sure, disappointment and anger of his best friend has become the absolute thing that he will get later.
The priest does not want to look back, because there are many memories that he must forget. At least trying to make peace with the past, will make his life always grateful for the blessings of Allah SWT.
Let the past be a lesson for the future. It is better to learn from past mistakes than to judge and get caught up in them.
Every human being has mistakes in the past. And the priest who made a mistake in loving his friend's wife.
Haaah, if it's a matter of the heart. Who can guess. Love is not achieved, the destruction of friendship is gained.
And finally the Imam has gone, living the destiny and choice of his heart. It may not take long to recover his heart.
" Priest Doctor resigns, Doctor Priest Resigns."
That morning the hospital suddenly excited about the shocking news. The whole hospital was shocked, because there was no news - what was before from the handsome doctor number two after doctor Fa'i.
While Fa'i had just arrived there, he still had no idea of the furore. Until Dara the nurse who became his new assistant asked about the resignation of the Imam's doctet.
" Dok, what exactly happened, until the Imam's doctor resigned.?"
" Priest Doctor resigned,?" Fa'i was shocked still in disbelief. He rushed to the director's room to confirm the news.
Out of the director's room, Fa'i bowed languidly. Disappointed, angry, also sad mixed into one. It hurts that a friend who has been considered his own brother, must go without a word to him.
Not even the director knew where the Imam was going. And that made Fa'i samakin angry at the Imam. That's how he was with this friend.
Drretta....
Instantly the vibration of his phone disperse his daydream. Then he grabbed the phone with his pants. A message from the Imam, appeared on his phone screen after the screen lock opened.
See you for a long time, Fa. I didn't mean to say anything or tell you about my departure. Forgive your friend, Fa! I'm not a good friend to you. May you always be happy with Arini and baby AL. As a friend I love you Fa'i.
After reading the message, Fa'i rushed to call his best friend. However, the message was sent for free by the Imam shortly before he boarded the plane which would take him some time alone.
Like the Imam also replaced all his gedget devices. No one can contact her except her parents.
With an uninspired look on his face, Fa'i stepped into the house. His feelings were right - banar was chaotic, his disappointment at the Imam's attitude. It was as if he had lost the clarity of his brain to think positively.
" Mad, what's wrong?" Tanya Arini who since her husband came has realized her husband's strange attitude.
Fa'i did not answer, instead hugged the wife tightly. And then her tears came out of her two eyes. Slowly Arini rubbed gently on her husband's back, not wanting to ask first. Hoping for a reply his embrace can calm the grief of his beloved husband.
She knew that her husband bore a heavy burden on her shoulders. A sense of guilt and disappointment was evident in those eyes. This was the second time Fa'i was in this state of chaos, if it had been because of Sabina's departure. And now I don't know, Arini doesn't know that.
" Drink first, mas?" arini said giving her husband a warm cup of tea that looked a little calmer.
Arini was surprised, but still did not understand the meaning of her husband's words. His mind was immediately fixed on Aisyah. Was Aisha also taken away?
" What do you mean by Fa'i?"
"Priest went either way, she resigned and her house was empty. He left without saying anything. Not even all contacts, emails and all of them can be contacted."
Deg, man,
instantly Arini's tears rolled down his face. Not - not because of the Imam who left, but Aisha. The little girl who had been considered his biological daughter.
" Why did the priest go and separate me from Aisha." Inner Arini who realized the restlessness of her heart since that night was true.
Fa'i held Arini in his arms, crying together without anyone strengthening each other. Fa'i who felt lost, not lost was more precisely disappointed in his best friend. And Arini was so devastated because Aisya, the little daughter of Sabina alm her best friend.
When Sabina left first, Arini promised in her heart to pour the love of a mother to Aisya. But now, where did the Imam take him. Will I someday meet again.?
Since then, it turns out that Amira noticed the couple's husband and wife. Arini's cry seemed interesting, Mbak Amira also dissolved in his cry as well.
Even Amira, understood the disappointment they experienced. To be honest he was also sad and disappointed with all of this. But, given the reason the Imam had to leave. Ma'am Amira is quite calm and understands the position of Imam now. Weight indeed.
" Oh, you don't have to be so sad. They'll be back, when it's time." Amira approached them.
" Amira's mom knows everything.?"
Amira nodded slowly, walking closer to them. However, Fa'i's jawline looks hardened indicating he was trying to disperse the anger in him.
" When, why didn't you tell us.?"
" Two days ago, the Goddess' mother met her mother. Tells the Imam's departure plan. Then I went to the Imam, asking the truth."
" Where did they go and why.?" ask Arini who wants to know the whereabouts of Aisya. Ma'am Amira breathed out slowly.
" The priest did not tell the mother where he was going. He only justified his departure for a while. And for that reason, it was clear especially that his heart was still heavy to crush Sabina.!"
Lies. Amira is deliberately lying. In addition to the Imam forbidding, Amira also could not tell the real reason.
" Why not tell us.?"
" Maybe, he doesn't want to see you grieving and keep him from leaving. Let him go for a moment. Maybe the Imam needs time alone without being disturbed by people from his past. Believe in this Imam is the best for him." said Mbak Amira at length, although not all true but this is the best. Lying for good, nothing. May Allah take away his sins. Prayer in the heart of MbK Amira from now on.
" And for your own good, I'm sorry I couldn't tell you everything you knew. You know this is hard. But trust me, there is no intention to hide everything. Hope you understand.!"
Fa'i sighed harshly. Although disappointed he will try to believe in his best friend. Likewise Arini though heavy, had to part with Aisya but in his heart promised to always love, always pray also waiting for his return someday.
" Aisha, you will always love you dear. Hurry home. Mother will miss you very much.!" Inner Arini while looking at the photo of Aisya on the screen of her phone.
*Thank you, sorry for the long wait. Rada mager nii.
Hope likes. Healthy always for all of you*.
