ISTIKHARAH LOVE

Togetherness

“yo wis... let's Pray Isya first “ invite Pade.

Ricky and Citra Meng Ayakan ask pade but not with me, I was confused to answer what.

My two friends walked first into the mosque, I was just quietly in front of the mosque fence.

“Mas Jhonathan?" heed

The voice sounded very soft. Without me turning I could guess that it was Zahra , looks a charming beautiful smile typical of the look of her face that is slightly wet because of the water of Wudhu. with a nervous tone I answered her.

"yes.." I replied.

"the gold's why outside, come on in."

“Sorry Zahra, is everyone allowed to enter the Mosque??”

Zahra smiled as she sighed she answered my question.

“yaaa of course can be Tooo mas, this is the House of Alloh, so anyone can enter into it, as long as the intention is good.”.

“even though the person is too dirty??” much

“Allah never differentiates his people mas. origin of his people want to return certainly Alloh will open the door as wide as possible.. indeed why too mas ask like that???”

I fell silent and without answering Zahra realized what my question meant, she apologized and confirmed it to me.

“earlier I apologize mas.. is this Jhonatan Non Muslim??”

I don't know how many times I've stayed silent, and Zahra invited me in.

(ps: I am not a non-Muslim, but I feel that for too long I have abandoned the creator god, the events of Mom and Dad made me become far from religion, he said, I realized that I did not feel worthy to enter this holy place.)

“nothing mas enter aja” take him

I nodded and Zahra walked in front of me to immediately enter the mosque because the imam had stood up, I ventured to enter but only reached the front porch, I sat there waiting for my friends to finish worshiping.

After some time my friends come and invite me to find a food stall or something...

yes, it's natural that they starve, not just them, I do too.

during the journey until we finally reached this place, not a mouthful of food that goes into the stomach including me.

“Jooo forage yukkk, laper nih” take pictures.

Ricky swiftly asked Citra.

“yaaa geez... so princesku daritadi starving??”

“what the hell is loo Ky?? Just now muji-muji beauty girl-cewe here, now even memodusin gw again, emang basic guy ngedeketin if there is aja aja" citra grutu while frowning Dahinya.

“so the story My Princes Jealousy???” Tombal Ricky

“Princas princes... eat nih Princes “ while kicking foot ricky, citrapun go.

“Ayo Ky...” take me.

We walked the path in the village but strangely none of the food vendors we met.

On the way we met the students from the boarding school, he called me and my friends.

“Mas... Mbak... in cariin mr. Kyai”. Shouted The boy.

We looked and answered.

“owhhhh yes.”.

The boy ran ahead of us to the boarding house.

After we arrived, Mr. Kyai immediately asked.

Ricky straightforwardly answered Mr. Kyia's question.

“after traveling around the village sir, nyari Warung”

Somehow Mr. Kyai laughed at Ricky's words.

“here there is a Warung open, as long as you know, in this village if the night is time to gather with family, or not in the mosque tadarusan, must be hungry ade-ade right??? Do not worry about the needs of ade-ade here everything has been fulfilled from starting to eat, sleep and others, everything has been borne by the village here through this cottage... so if ade-ade needs something do not hesitate to talk.. yaaaaa!” obviously mr. Kyai.

Me and my friends just found out that all our needs here have been met by the village.

We were invited by Pak Kyai into a room that may be like a hall, there have been many santri gatherings, the place between Putra and Putri separated by a stretch of plywood board, plywood, mr. Kyai gave his greetings and all the santri who were there immediately stood up while replying to the greeting thrown by Kyai.

I, Citra and Ricky followed him from behind, looking at the friendly smiles of all the lodge students.

Kyai turned towards us and said.

“please ade-ade all find a place that if Empty, Citra deck join Santriwati yes on the left”

the image nodded and immediately moved from next to me.

We were confused by all this, I searched for a place that was still empty, and there was a child who waved his hand at us, it turned out to be legitimate, we approached and sat next to Sahil.

sahil suddenly whispered in my ear

“today there happens to be a thanksgiving of Muharaman mas, as well as for Ukhti Zahra also”.

“thanks for Zahra??” my word

“iyaaa bebrapa last week Ukhti Zahra new finish Graduation mas”

"ohhhhh.."

"great yo mas, later Sahil if already big also want to lecture koyo Ukhti Zahra ahhh, continue to give thanks in the cottage" ucao Sahil with a smile.

"good, tar mas Jhonathan come" I whispered.

"heheheh. bener yo mas"

i'm nodding.

Hearing the true story about Zahra, I was more amazed to the woman.

Soon Zahra came and said hello.

“Assalamualaikum..”.

The voice sounded so soft that everyone would be hypnotized when they heard it.

“previously Thank you zahra said to Father, Mother. also the Santri of this cottage, thanks to your prayers all finally zahra can complete the Lecture with more than enough Value.”.

My gaze cannot be separated from the figure of an angel who is talking.

“Zahra made this event as a gratitude that God has bestowed on all of us, especially Zahra, for that zahra asked his prayer so that the knowledge that has been in can be useful for all.”

Everyone clapped their hands festively, zahra smiled and cried out in tears... Kyai and Ustadzah embraced the zahra and kissed her.

I was thinking, if when I graduated later I could celebrate with my parents like Zahra did.

That night was our first experience eating on a large container that was eaten together regardless of friends or opponents. Everyone eats well including us.

After everything was done, some students flocked to wash the container under the water that was next to the Hall, some others cleaned the Hall.

For the umpteenth time I was amazed by the gotong royong nature they had.

This first day we were a little awkward when we passed the villagers, we were still trying to adapt to everything.

And today is the benchmark for the future.

We can't wait to get to the next days.
