Khairil: True Hope & Love
Chapter 10 | All Wishes from Him
...“God knows everything we want. But, often God does not directly grant it. Because He gives us more what we need than what we want.”...

Jizah has been home from the hospital since a week ago. Now the middle-aged woman's house was only accompanied by Aisyah and her grandson. While his two sons, they are busy with their respective activities.
Aisha entered Jizah's room with a tray of water and some medicines that still had to be given to Jizah.
"Umma, the medicine is taken first huh? brother wants to put Alif to bed for a minute." Aisyah
"Yes, thank you, son." Say Jizah and after that Aisha came out of Jizah's room
"Thank you son, you've been willing to leave your husband's house for a while just to take care of Umma. I must be able to be as ever, so as not to trouble my children anymore." Inner Jizah who always felt guilty for having troubled her children
The atmosphere today in the city of Bogor, looks very hot. The sun looks so bright. If in the past during hours like this, Jizah was excited to finish the seams with his employees. Now there's no more such thing. The Nurreen Muslimah Wedding Dress boutique has long since closed after Aisyah and Naura got married. He can only pray, hopefully one of his daughters-in-law will be able to continue.

One of the meatball branches near the train station, Khairil is busy counting the number of meatball stalls this month. Each month is not the amount of income that increases that he gets, but the reduction is increasingly striking. Especially after the billboard he installed no longer exists. Truly Khairil was made dizzy.
"I should be able to reduce the number of employees. But where can I do that? they're all orphans who need a job. If I stop a few, where will they work? especially in this day and age that nothing at least must be graduate degree." Khairil said as if frustrated with the situation
He saw that the clock had shown at 13:22, he should immediately go to the study. Khairil could have studied at Abah's boarding school which is now managed by Zain. However, he thought he should look for it elsewhere. Everything he did for the sake of a balanced world and the Hereafter. It should be like the wishes of Jizah and the late Mufid. But whatever the way and the risk, he should be able to do it.
If asked, does Khairil have no friends? If the activities he does are like that every day. The answer is between yes and no. Before Mufid put the meatball stall on him. The time Khairil used must always be with his best friend. However, after he focused on the meatball stalls. His friend chose to continue his studies abroad. Unlike Khairil who tried to obey his parents.
Arrive at a station not far from the station. Khairil stepped foot into the mosque. Seen there are already some fathers and young people like him who also want to study.
Ustadz who will be studying and sharing his knowledge has come. Khairil quickly pulled out the book inside her bag to record anything she needed to remember.
Two hours later, the study was completed and ended with congregational ashar prayers. After the prayer and the people have left the mosque. Khairil lives alone on the terrace of the mosque. Reflect on what was described by ustadz.
"It's true, I'm different from Abba and Umma." Khairil muttered that he was unknowingly heard by someone who came out from inside the mosque
"Every one of us is different. We can't force fate to be as our parents are or as they want." Say that man. He sat beside Khairil without looking at her.
"You don't know, so noticeable is the difference between me and my other brothers. Indeed, I have been educated with the science of religion that my parents had. But I feel, I can't feel what they've given me. First, both of my parents were very active in the field of preaching in the midst of their busy lives. I'm not as perfect as both." Said Khairil who unconsciously let out the anxiety that was inside him
The man smiled and said, "You're perfect with the imperfections that you're standardised with. Sometimes people can only focus on what they have in mind. Without thinking, what to do for others. Every parent wants the best for their child and of course they educate their children as well as possible. But they seem to forget that we can't always be what they want." Said the man who knows who
Khairil paused for a moment, pervading what the man was saying. It is true, during this time Khairil always tried possible to be in accordance with the wishes of Jizah and the late Mufid. But this is what makes Khairil always feel imperfect or dissatisfied with the circumstances. Moreover, the entire meatball stall that Mufid handed down to him only stayed he continued. Without starting from the beginning.
"Waalaikumsalam warahmatullahi."
Who is that guy? Why did he seem to understand what Khairil was feeling? And why did Khairil forget to ask what his name was. He saw that the day had begun to twilight he had to go home soon. Don't want her brother to take too long to take care of Jizah alone.
...----------------...
Night in Jizah's house. The woman had just finished taking her medicine. Khairil patiently helped her.
"Now is Umma resting?" Khairil said, justifying Jizah's blanket
"Bang, is your sister home yet? Umma hasn't seen him yet." Jizah
"Yes, how come Zurran hasn't come home yet? Let me call him later. Umma no need to worry, God willing soon he will definitely go home. Take a break, don't mind too much. Khairil dear Umma." Khairil then kissed Jizah
After making sure Jizah was completely asleep. Khairil took his foot into Zurran's room. And he saw that his sister had not returned home.
"Where is he? try to call me." Immediately Khairil called his only brother but until the fifth call, there was no sign of Zurran answering his call.
"Zurran hasn't returned to Ril?" Aisyah's question surprised Khairil
"Yes, brother, Khairil called but was not picked up. Was he allowed to go to his sister this morning or where to go after college?"
"No, he's just going to college. Or maybe he's an extra lesson at the pesantren?" Ask Aisyah
"No way brother, his study schedule at the Khairil pesantren tau. Yes, Khairil try to pick up at the campus. Maybe he has a task to complete today."
"Are you sure you want to pick him up? it's the night." Said Aisyah worriedly
"It is precisely because it is already malem, Zurran must quickly go home. Already yes, Khairil pamit and titip Umma. Assalamualaikum." Khairil kissed the back of Aisha's hand and rushed out
"Vaalaikumsalam. Where is Zurran? He should know, don't make us worry, especially if Umma finds out." Aisyah
...----------------...
My worries grew even more, when what my parents wanted I could not realize.
However, I believe in His good destiny. That everything has been set as best as possible. My task now is only to live out what has been outlined without the need to hear human chatter.
