ISTIKHARAH LOVE

Keep Trying?

"have survived, do not spit marriage both of you"

"why??" ask Citra

"tar nunggu I have a theme to be invited to the event" my candlestick

"yaaaaah, long time donga hahahha" Ricky with his santaynya nyeletuk so.

we finally went to the Clinic, and did our usual activities, during work I saw Ricky and Citra who just kept throwing smiles at each other, Citra's face looked blushed, embarrassed, while Ricky still holds his chin on the table while occasionally squinting his eyes.

Time just goes by, unknowingly we are at the end of the day, today we go through with no burden, all the work feels very light, even though today the patient is quite booming, but because it is done with fun everything feels ordinary.

I just remembered what Zahra said this morning, he asked me to meet him at the Hill of an ordinary place.

"Ky I went to the cottage first yes, ask for help later if you want to go home for sure all the doors are locked, just as the headlights do not forget to turn on" I said

"so much rush lu jo?? kebelet boker huh??" ask Ricky

I replied while rushing out of the clinic

"kaga, I need a moment, okkk, not on the macem-macem ya you on" I said while pointing at Ricky and Citra who were sitting at their respective desks.

The image only glanced while Ricky nodded then said.

"get ready bosque, don't worry it's all in order"

I held up my thumb and walked away leaving the two of them, not the two of them anyway because there were still some employees who were still in the clinic.

when I got to the hill, there was no one, I finally decided to just wait in the bamboo bale of an ordinary place.

time goes on, but Zahra has not yet revealed his existence.

I muttered in my heart whether Zahra had forgotten what she was talking about, or if she was just joking.

the time has shown at 5 pm, the sky began to darken, the sound of fall is heard from a distance the sign will rain, I still keep waiting, I still wait, I looked left and right but there was still no sign of life.

I moved from my seat intending to go back to the cottage, it felt very disappointed, why Zahra could lie to me, in the middle of the journey I cross paths with Sahil, then he spoke to me.

"Assalamualaikum.." he said.

I nodded not answering his greetings.

then Sahil took my hand and gave me a neatly folded letter, The paper is still the same as I received from Ayu, Tanoa long thought I unfolded it in front of Sahil.

I read and I'm sure.

"Assynoltom... Brother Jonathan this Ayu, santriwati who at that time, if it pleases Ayu want to chat with Kak Jhonathan, four eyes.

if Kak Jhonathan pleases, Tonight, after Isya, Ayu wait at the Pondok Putri Mosque.

thanks though.

Wassalamualaikum"

"Said Mba Ayu, the letter must be answered now Mas, this pen is the same paper" Sahil said as he thrust the pen in front of me.

I nodded, then crouched down to write back the letter I received from Ayu.

"sorry Yu, I'm not feeling well, but if there's something to talk about, come to the Clinic tomorrow, I'm still there for the next three days.

Thanks"

then I folded the original, and I handed it over to Sahil.

"please give to mba Ayu ya hil, thanks"

sahil received my letter and he put it in his pocket.

"soo mas.."

"want to go to the Princess Hut directly??"

"nda Mas, soon Maghrib"

"let's go with it "

we walked in tandem, my hands clutching Sahil's shoulders..

"Will you go to Jakarta??" much

"yes you want to mas, but later, if you have graduated from Pondok, just Sahil want to study rich Mas Jhonathan, heheh"

"good.." I answered while rubbing his head.

after entering the hut, we separated because Sahil had to get ready to perform Maghrib Prayer.

"Yowis Mas, kulo pamit nggih, soon Adhan Maghrib." said sahil

"soo mas.."

I nodded, before moving on suddenly Sahil turned around and said.

"Mas Jonathan...."

I spontaneously turned towards Sahil

"what's Hil??"

"Let's celebrate together, said Mr. Kyai Cowo it must be in the mosque of his prayer"

then I approached her, and squatted down in front of her

"how's hil??"

"said Mas Ricky, mas Jhonathan if Prayer is always in the Room, but said Mr. Kyai The man's prayer must be in the Mosque, gituloh mas"

I was silent about what Sahil was talking about, I just realized Ricky really hid my disgrace..

"Yes. later Nyulus yes, want to take a shower first, while saving the Bag first, Sahil first yes"

"Yowis, Assalamualaikum"

Sahil took my hand and ran towards the Pondok Mosque.

once I was stunned speechless, was this a warning from God.

"Jo... why??"

in my daydream I realized with that voice, I turned and it turned out to be Ricky.

I stood up and hugged Ricky.

"Ky, thank you, Lu is really good just like me, I don't know anymore, will be the cake if there's no you"

Ricky let go of my embrace and said.

"yes, yes, but Lu why??"

"Thank you all this time you've been trying to cover up all the bad Iw, lu uda.." before I finished talking, Ricky then cut it off.

"Jo, not me, but God.. God has closed everything, now it's Lo's turn to thank you, in your own way, I hope Lo understands"

I was silent again .

"yeah, if that's it clean up first, take a shower, change clothes, keep tar abis Isya us to Pondok Putri..

"why??" much

"there's something we need to discuss with some of Santriwati there" Ricky replied

"Okkk, thanks again Ky"

Ricky just smiled a little, then walked towards the mosque.

Adhan Maghrib has been reverberating, all the santri flocked to the Mosque, gradually Every Shaf began to be fully filled, I only pay attention from the outside only.

so I decided to go back to Kobong.

when I got to Kobong, I opened my laptop, I opened it and I saw every portrait I took while we were here.

I looked at each of his faces, making it really hard to leave this second house of mine.

Tok tok tok tok tok tok tok

The sound of knocking on the door, I opened it and saw Zahra standing in front of the door.

"Assalamualaikum Zahra, why are the nights here??? can anyone help??" ask me while looking to the right and left.

"your mother, Zahra just wanted to apologize, Zahra had actually gone to the Hill, but Zahra returned to the cottage"

"it's okay, but next time don't be rich anymore." I replied.

"there's something Zahra wants to talk about, Mas Jhonathan has time??" ask Zahra

"Yes, just a minute"

I go back to the cowboy, I turn off my laptop, I put it in my bag, and I take it.

"Come, just there" I asked as I pointed to the bench where Ricky and I used to discuss.

we walked to him, sat side by side, but not a word was said.
