Khairil: True Hope & Love

Chapter 28 | Hope and Expectation

..."Hope and Expectation......

...The two words seem to be almost the same. Both from beings who are too ambitious.”...

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

Before I wanted you guys to not expect more from my novel for the next few months like it. My activities as a student with a lot of delayed learning took a lot of time to do. I can't be sure how many days/Weeks/months things like this go. I want to focus more on the future. After more than a month did not get certainty from the NT on the contract I submitted. So I better focus on continuing to learn.

I'm sorry, maybe I've let you guys down so much. Then I release you with or no longer need to add this novel to the list of favorites. Once again I apologize and thank you very much for all the support and input from all of you. Just pray everything God gives ease 🙏

"Even though I've only seen the face of Ustadz? But how do I feel like I've seen that, where?" Khairil tried to remember whether he had seen Hasan or not. Zurran who heard that immediately brought himself closer to Khairil's ears. "Please... Brother, don't be S-K-S-D! Get to know, Sok Deket! Don't be embarrassed.." whispered Zurran.

"Yes, my dear..."

Rendy and her friends chuckle at Khairil's words. Brother–adik was always like that from a long time ago, not changed.

Hasan smiled, "I used to only remember your older sister whom I had met. He used to be a kid, about three and a half years old like him, just like my son. And what I remember was that... Abba you got a call if it's not wrong, and got word that Umma you want to give birth." Hasan was clearly with his memory

"Yeah, that's how this kid is going to be born. Nusahin he was born. Where was he born in the village, right? We-we who are in Jakarta–Tangerang yaa can only pray and wait for him to come home, right?" Rendy turned and glanced at her friends and got a nod

Zurran looked closely at Khairil's face, "Ih. son of a nusahin!" Zurran said mockingly

"Yehhh a child that is not expected!" Khairil responded fiercely

"No more fuss.., no shame?" Good mediating those two annoying boys. A few hours at Jizah's house made him dizzy like playing with his grandchildren. How can his best friend be so patient every day with children like Khairil and Zurran.

Khairil and Zurran were both silently bowed. No one dared to argue with him. Rendy, Riandi and Zaki could only shake their heads.

"Do you like or have a hobby of fighting?" Ask Hasan

"O Allah is Oustadz, all are asked. They are both doing their daily activities. From small to now there is no one hundred percent change! Just a few percent. It happened after Abba did not exist. Yes, sometimes it happens, when we lose someone or something so valuable that humans can have a change. Maybe, they really want to lose both of them so that it feels like embracing each other's siblings." Rendy said clearly.

"Dad...?"

"Ren...?"

Khairil's eyes turned red, his hands clenched strongly, his chest rumbling. He rose up from his seat with a bearable anger, "For the sake of Allah Khairil say! Dad could be upset with the actions and attitudes of both of us. But please don't say that we want to lose Umma like losing Abba!" Khairil did not accept. I want him to say more than that. But he still remembered that Rendy was also his parents.

Before leaving the living room, Khairil stared at the people who were there. "You don't know what it's like to lose a leader on a long journey, right? This is what we feel. Not just us, but Umma. He was so overwhelmed by this condition. We ask God not to get lost on this long journey. But this is the reality that happened. I as the head of Abba's replacement household was not ready to accept this great trust. For I am not like your expectations and expectations!" After saying that Khairil got out of the house with his car keys

Good and Zaki tries to prevent him from leaving, but free, the young man needs time to himself. While Riandi, he immediately hugged the crying Zurran after Rendy spoke. He was as disappointed as Khairil. But he did not want to leave the house in an emotional state.

Zurran took off his embrace from Riandi and looked at his uncle's face. "D-dad? Zurran knows what father's words mean. But Zurran please, do not expect too high to Zurran or Abang Khairil. We have a lot of respect for dad, but it looks like we mistakenly thought that we would be respected too." Just like Khairil, Zurran immediately left the living room but chose to enter his room.

After Zurran's departure, the middle-aged men who were gathering immediately scolded Rendy for her words. And the man easily replied, "Udahlah. Ntar is also common again. They used to be like that to me."

"Yes, they are adults, but in my eyes they are still children. And yuuu? Should as parents should understand the condition of their hearts. Don't you talk like that so easily." They were all surprised by the arrival of Jizah who had listened to everything

"Aye? That's not what I meant. Khairil same Zurran tuh do not be allowed to make a fuss continue. This is all for the good of Luh and the other luh children. Remember the health of Luh Zah. I do not want to be stressed continuously because of the actions and attitude of Khairil with Zurran. It's all because I love you equally." Said Rendy, hoping Jizah does not misunderstand.

"You know my illness, don't you, Ren? My health is not as stable as it used to be. The kids know and care about my condition. And it's obvious they're not ready to lose me. Besides... Which child would want to lose both parents? It's not just those who don't want to lose me. But I can't leave them either." Jizah said after that she cried bitterly and immediately Rendy hugged her

"Sorry, sorry for my attitude Zah."

The atmosphere enveloped the living room. Rendy continued to say sorry and let Jizah cry in her arms to calm down.

"What pain did you really suffer Zah? Why do the tough tests always come to you? Can you share with me? Like our teenage years. If you have any difficulties, then I will always be there for you." Riandi's heart speaks in remembrance of her time with Jizah, which was where she was her first love.

"Yes Rabb? I can't help Jizah and her kids much. But I beg You, protect them always under any circumstances." Hasan's mind pleaded

Yes, that's life.

Sometimes human expectations and expectations are so much. For they seem to forget that Allah has laid down the way of life for every one of His servants.

Maybe you hate something but do you know if there's a big good in and after it?

Just like a child who is born and raised by good parents, not necessarily they have the same nature. Because nature cannot be derived from parents, but must continue to be formed and directed in order to be in line.

One message to you, my,

Hoping on a creature will only continue to make you sick. Therefore hope only to Allah SWT who owns the world and its content.

Thank you don't forget to like, comment, vote, and throw as many flowers.
