ISTIKHARAH LOVE

The Same Sky

Since that incident I almost never saw Ihrom coming back to the cottage, until before a few days we completed our task here, Ihrom comes along with some people whose age may be older than Kyai Arif.

That morning Ihrom came, and went straight to Kyai Arif Residence, I did not have time to say hello, because I was still getting ready to go to the Clinic.

along the way to the clinic I also did not see the existence of Zahra, arriving at the Clinic Zahra also did not show the trunk of his nose, until it did not feel the time was very fast passing, that afternoon Zahra also did not deliver lunch for us, but was replaced by other santriwati.

"dek, where's Ukhti Zahra??" ask me to one of Santriwati

"Ukhti Zahra is having a need Ka, something to say??" answerable

"ohhh no need"

he nodded, allowing me to eat.

"monggo kak eaten" said the santriwati

when we ate a santri I was just talking to came up to me while thrusting a paper that folded neatly.

"what's this?" much

"open it later, brother" he replied and left me

after the santri left, Ricky came up to me and said

"cieeeee's new fan nih ye.."

I just shook my head and continued eating.

that afternoon the clinic was very quiet, the sun began to gradually fall, the rotation seemed very fast, did not feel we had met in the afternoon, some nurses began to clean up the equipment, while I sat on the waiting bench.

"My mother went home first yes, Assalamualaikum" said Siti

"iya bu monggo, Waalaikumsalam" I replied

I just remembered the paper I just got this afternoon, I broke my pants pocket and I took the paper, I opened it and a letter was written on a square piece of paper, The writing is neat as if engraved with great intention, the color of the paper is sky blue with a thin background of white cloud strokes, I read from beginning to end, this is more or less the contents.

"Assalamualaikum Kak Jhonathan, introduce me Ayu, when first Kak Jhonathan came and introduced himself in this Village, I was very interested in the nature of Brother Jhonathan who is very Mature, I was very interested in the nature of the very old brother Jhonathan, only Brother Jonathan can distract me, I greatly admire Brother Jonathan, if I do not mind, may I befriend Brother Johnathan?

That's all I want to say, thank you Wassalamualaikum"

I just smiled reading his very Formal writing, after I read it, I folded it back and I put it in my shirt pocket.

I looked at the blue sky that was starting to turn orange, the white clouds were darkening, I closed my eyes hoping that time would stop for a moment, I wanted to enjoy my time here, in this village, longer, here I learned a lot about a lot of things.

said someone, I opened my eyes and saw Zahra sitting next to me, her eyes were swollen, her cheeks were moist.

"Zahra.." I said with a slightly surprised mimic.

"The sky is good, yes" he repeated his words

"yes, while in Jakarta like mas rarely can see the beautiful sky rich gini, never even"

"ahhhh time, not the sky here is the same there as well" he said

"not never, more precisely so busy in the room so do not pay attention to the sky and everything in the sky, but it is also true what you say, Even though wherever we are the sky we see is still the same, only the taste and atmosphere are different"

"Eat do not be too busy cooperation mas, inget there are still many who need attention from us"

"meaning?" much

"yes, the time of Gusti Allah has created this beautiful sky, this magical color, but never in favor, never in appreciation, never in appreciation, yaaaaa as if we look at it one or two seconds, keep saying, SubhanAlloh. that's mas, said Mother first"

"hmmmm well, from now on the mass will often see all Creation of God.."

"nahhh that"

"includes your mandangin, right?? haha"

"lahhhh so I"

I saw his face flushed red, and he bowed his head.

then we kept quiet, and suddenly Ricky and Citra came up to us

"Jo let's go back" said Ricky

ehhh Zahra too, so let's go home with us-us"

"nggih mas, just abis from Kampung adjoining continue to happen through the Clinic, yes all stop by" said Zahra

"let's go, tar keburu Maghrib" Citra said as she closed the Clinic Door

we nodded and walked together, along the way Zahra told a lot about this village, we were a little flashback when first set foot in this place, even then I told Citra and Ricky, even then, that I used to live here, and have known Zahra for a long time, at first they did not believe at all, but over time the brand finally believed in what I told you.
