Khairil: True Hope & Love

Chapter 1 | Naughty in the Past

...“We often forget that life is not just about the happy and sad. Except more than that.”...

...--------------------...

Khairil, a child born in Yogyakarta unexpectedly 22 years ago. Babies who always show a smile every time they are spoken to are now growing up.

When he was 10 years old or 5th grade SD, Khairil was forced or preferred to have to come with his uncle and aunt to South Jakarta. It's not without reason. The quarrel between her and her sister was the main factor. A fairly close age difference between Khairil and Zurran is indeed very possible any quarrel can occur. But this is no longer tolerable.

Mufid and Jizah believed that in the care of Rendy and Zulfah, Khairil would be able to learn to be a good brother. Not both of them want to take off the responsibility as parents just like that. It's just that their son when given two choices between pesantren or Rendy's house, he prefers Rendy's house even though both options are nothing he likes.

As time went on, Jizah always hoped that there was a good result from the decision he and Mufid made. He and Mufid only come to visit his son every Sunday. But apparently, there is something that Jizah and Mufid just found out about their son. Indeed, Rendy and Zulfah felt very much responsible for what his nephew did. For almost 5 years in their care, there was never again anything bad to Khairil that they knew.

At his school in Jakarta, Khairil is indeed a smart student. He always ranked first in everything, including the first student who always faced BK teachers to principals. This is never known to Rendy and Zulfah, because Khairil is really good at covering it with lies.

Even when parents attend meetings made by teachers, Khairil can quickly switch the conversation.

The words that Khairil always answered when Rendy asked about how her day at school, "Quiet Well, it's definitely Khairil is always the first." Proudly, the uncle the father greeted responded "Yes donk, should always be first. Proven to Abba with Umma you, if you're really top."

The mistake Khairil made at school made Jizah and Mufid realize that their child really needs special attention directly from both parents. It never crossed Jizah's mind as the woman who gave birth to Khairil, that her son was a school thug.

Khairil got into a big fight with her friend at school. Things like that happen often. However, this time he had really been desperate to finish his friend critically.

With the hunting breath as a result of restraining emotions, Mufid said. "From today on, you are no longer living in Jakarta. Let Abba directly teach you the true meaning of a hero. The real hero is not the one who always kills every opponent. But, he was the one who could always melt the heart of his opponent. You have made Abba's anger rise. You disappointed Abba!"

Jizah let her husband scold her son for the first time. He could only cry beside Zulfah who was trying to calm him down. Really, he felt very, very failed in educating his son.

"But Ba? Khairil is still two years away from graduating high school. It's a shame that we have to change schools again." Khairil said no

"Still have the courage to show up to school? still dare? If you are still brave, it is a sign that you also dare to see the tears Umma you are constantly flowing." Mufid dropped himself on the floor and his hand rubbed his face roughly

"Now you see the face of the woman who gave birth to you Bang. The fragile heart of Abba is not the same as the fragile heart of Umma you. Umma you're much more fragile. Abba certainly feels that he failed to educate you, especially Umma who always taught you what this life means. And now what is the result? you almost want to finish off someone else's life. Where's the tenderness of Abba's little son? where is Khairil's true attitude when Abba always takes him to the mosque? What'sthis?" Mufid could no longer speak, he cried the same way as Jizah

Rendy could only fall silent and bring Khairil into her room.

"Sister, Brother? drink the tea first." Zulfah gave two cups of tea that was originally warm is now cold

"It's not all Khairil's fault. This is also one of Rendy who cannot monitor and monitor Khairil well. Please, don't you guys get mad at him anymore. This is also your fault which seems to differentiate between Khairil and Zurran. Both of them would be fine if you didn't take one of them." Said Rendy who immediately got a gaze from Jizah and Mufid

"You don't know what Ren is! Khairil has twice hospitalized Zurran. We don't want it to keep repeating itself. Just so you know? it's heavy for me and Jizah. Which parents want their children to fight every day? there is no." Mufid said with his tears

"I admit Ren, I had misunderstood Khairil. Yeah, it's all my fault, too." Jizah hugged her husband

"Umma's done all Khairil's stuff right now. Let Abba book you a taxi to go home." Mufid let go of his embrace

...__________...

In the end that day, Jizah and Khairil returned to Bogor, their home. Mufid continued to monitor the state of the child who had been beaten by his son.

Luckily, the boy's family did not take the case to the legal track. Because they know that the one who provoked Khairil's anger first was his son.

But nevertheless Mufid as a parent will still be responsible for financing all existing treatment.

...------...

Mufid, accompanied by Rendy, is now sitting in the hospital garden. The two of them were silent without a word.

Which feelings of parents are not disappointed with the attitude and behavior of their children like that. The gentle and loving education that they gave as a child seemed to disappear in an instant swallowed by the earth.

The originally bright sky instantly turned into a terrifying black cloud. This is a journey full of obstacles faced by parents. Having a child that is Sholeh and Sholehah is a noble dream, but there is always something unexpected to get it.

This is how God loves each servant differently. Some are tested by her marriage, her son or her provision. Not all God's creatures give that kind of love.

...“Allah does not burden a man except according to his capacity. He gets (merit) from (virtue) he does and he gets (torture) from (evil) he does. (They prayed), "Our Lord, do not punish us if we forget or we make a mistake. Our Lord, do not burden us with a heavy burden as You have burdened those before us. Our Lord, do not give us what we cannot bear. Forgive us, forgive us, and have mercy on us. You are our protector, so help us to confront the infidels.”...
