ISTIKHARAH LOVE

Source of Happiness

This morning we did our usual activities, before leaving for the clinic we took the time to see the growth of herbal medicinal plants that we planted the other day.

then hurry to the clinic.

the atmosphere of the Clinic is the same as the previous days, Sepi, and only a few residents who come to just consult.

in the afternoon Zahra came with Rantang for his food, and all the workers ate together.

as time went on, without feeling the day had started to go into the afternoon, the clock had shown at Three, I saw Zahra sitting on the terrace of the Clinic while cleaning the Containers where to eat.

I approached him and tried to talk.

"Zahra.." I said.

he looked and said.

"what's wrong, what??"

I sat next to him.

"no, just want to take your appointment last night, maybe still remember, or have forgotten?"

"Yo must be inget mas, later afternoon zahra anter ya"

"get ready. If that's Mas, uh I go inside first ya."

I went in while the Zahra was still struggling with the containers.

That afternoon Zahra took me to the place she promised me last night.

During the trip there were not a few words that we both said, lapse a few minutes we finally arrived at the place.

A hill that directly faces pesawahan makes anyone who sees it will definitely feel what I feel, calm and cool that first crossed my mind.

“ini mas the place, usually if Zahra again many thoughts or nyari ideas make sure thesis come to this place.”

“perfect....” the word said so from my mouth.

“Zahra told mom about this place”

“dan it...” I pointed at a bench made of bamboo.

“itu Zahra made, assisted by some santriwati here mas..”.

“hmmmm…. I've heard a lot yaa Zahra has invited me to this place.”

“iya mas equally, ohhh yes if you need something say to Zahra yes mas, who knows zahra can help a little.”

I smiled at her words and replied.

“Zahra also if you need a place to vent or just talk ready to listen”

he just fell silent..

"ehhh he means, if zahra needs help what is it, whatever it is if Mas can, meaning I can help, I am ready to help, do not hesitate"

Zahra smiled and replied.

“Pake Mas also gakpapa after mas..”

“hmmmmm can be..”.

Zahra smiled again but this time it was a little wide.

We got up from where we were standing, and sat on a bamboo bench that was quite large in size.

While I was continuing my work, Zahra suddenly spoke.

“kalo to this place Zahra so inget mom..”

I was confused by what he was talking about, so I finally asked.

“lohhhh instead..”.

But my question was cut.

I was shocked by Zahra's statement.

“inalillahi.. forgive mas, mas gk means.”.

Again my words were cut.

“iyaaa mas ndak nothing. It is Zahra's destiny like this.”

I had a moment of pity for Zahra, but suddenly I remembered what Zahra said last night, and I tried to make sure.

“saf yaa Zahra is not presumptuous, but...that last night you...”.

Zahra sighed and told me everything.

“huf……. Yes mas.so after the mother died, the father was moody, did not want to socialize with all residents including Zahra, but out of nowhere you can know the woman, after 4 months of the departure of the mother, but I have no idea where you can get to know her, finally, he married the woman, and since the father married, his treatment of Zahra so changed, now Zahra often snapped, often get angry”.

For the umpteenth time I was surprised at the words of Zahra..

Zahra continued his conversation.

“maybe zahra will live happier, as happy as when you were still there"

I was overwhelmed to hear it, and then I tried to respond.

“Aamiin, mas sure ko someday good man like the one zahra hope will come with happiness and paradise Lord”

Zahra looked down and answered.

“hopefully mas...”

a few seconds later he said

"lohhh ko even mas guy??" tannya

I was confused, then answered what was on my mind at the time.

"emmmm I mean mas, yes hopefully someday happiness like zahra hope to get zahra, so loh"

he laughed a little at my answer, then looked down.

"do you know? mas also once lost someone the source of happiness mas, not just one, but directly Three.."

"meaning Three??"

"yes.. Parents Mas Divorced at the age of 18 years, then Mas in the care of Uncle, a few years later Uncle Mas called God, until now Mas live alone, fortunately mas have the same image Ricky, so life is a little more colorful back, so Zahra should be more grateful, still have a Father, Mother, Villagers, same Santri-santri here who is always there for Zahra, not rich mas..."

"O Allah, the Patient yo mas. insyaAllah someday happiness will stop in the life of Jhonathan, Inget God never let His people live alone in sadness and solitude... The spirit!!!"

"Aamiin...."

"You know, Zahra said, Back to the cottage yo mas"

"okkk, thanks a lot.."

"sama, Jhonathan still wants the way home??" ask Zahra

"Yes inget lah..nya Mas sepikun it"

"heheh becanda, yaudah Assalamualaikum..."

"Girishal"

I just remembered that I haven't told Ricky that I went here with a little run I tried to chase after Zahra and asked him to tell ricky.

“zahraaaaaa” shouted me from the top of the hill

“nggih mas!!” he answered while shouting

“later to meet ricky or citra, say I'm here...”.

“ohhhh njeeh njehh”.

I pointed my thumb at him, and Zahra went to the cottage.
