Meet a Mate in Pesantren

Chapter 163

Every human has made a mistake. Error, error is a nature that is attached to human self. Allah says in the Hadith of Qudsi which means, “Prophet Moses a.s asked Allah, “Yes Rabbi ! Which of Your servants is nobler in Your sight?” Allah says, “He is the one who, when in power (mastering his enemy), can immediately forgive.” (Kharaithi of Abu Hurairah r.a) of Abu Hurairah ra.

This means that a good human being is not one who never errs, except the Prophet Shallallahu ‘Alaihi Wasallam who ma’shum (always in the guidance of Allah). But a good human being is one who can forgive the mistakes of others who have hurt his feelings.

In Islam, being able to forgive the mistakes of others is one of the characteristics of people who fear (muttaqin).

Forgiveness is the process of stopping feelings of resentment, annoyance, or anger from feeling hurt or wronged. More than that, forgiveness is also the process of animating positive attitudes and behaviors toward others who have hurt . 

"My husband and I have agreed to revoke the report on Aisha's mother, so that Aisha's mother can be free" Syifa said.

"You don't have to retract that report. I'm sorry you guys have had enough for me".

"But if you're still in here, then how can you raise that kind of money to pay your parents' debts ?".

"It's my business later, I beg you not to bolt this report, let me account for everything" Aisha pleaded with Syifa to give up her intention to retract the report.

Syifa and Bani looked at each other, asking for opinions from each other.

"If that's what you want, then I won't retract this report". said Bani who had just fallen silent.

"Thank you Bani, Syifa. You are indeed good people, and Bani is also not wrong to choose a wife like you who has a big heart to be able to forgive me".

"Mabk Aisha is good - good inside yes, May this pass quickly and mbak Aisha can live a better life again" Syifa said.

After all their affairs are settled, Syifa, Bani and Tama leave the police station. While Bayu was still at the police station he still talked to Aisha. There was a sense of happiness when Aisha wanted to admit her mistake and willingly apologized directly to Aisha and Bani.

"Why don't you let them retract the report ?" ask Bayu.

"I am ashamed of them, my actions are very embarrassing.they forgive me only I think it is more than enough, then I want to go through this process as my guilt redeemer" explained Aisha.

"But how do you get that kind of money ?" ask Bayu.

"That's my guess later, now I'm just asking you for help, please help me get you to handle my divorce case and Mr. Rico".

While Bani, Syifa and Tama, they did not go home immediately, they stopped by first at a restaurant for lunch, because since leaving the Syifa police station had been whining for food. since pregnancy Syifa becomes more frequent eating even in small portions.

"However, why Aisha does not want you to retract the report" said Tama confused.

"Somehow, maybe he was conscious" replied Bani casually. While Syifa is more focused on food he does not care about the people around him.

"Honey to eat slowly - slowly !" bani cried when he saw his wife eating like a starving man.

After Tama's lunch was over, he said he wanted to go home first, he did not want to be the third person among two people who were happy.

Before reaching home, Syifa gave some food that he thought was stirring his taste, from rujak, orange juice, and many other snacks that Syifa bought on the roadside. during the journey home Syifa mouth does not stop chewing food makes Bani can only shake his head.

"Darling, I want a martabak !" syifa.

"Yes later tonight we buy" said Bani who is still focused on the wheel.

"I'm glad I want it now, not later tonight" exclaimed an annoyed Syifa.

"But I want it now !".

"But where's the nyari ?".

"Yes in the place of sale martabak dear" replied Syifa.

"Later in the afternoon, my beautiful and sweet love is cute" Rayu Bani.

"If it will be different in the afternoon again, not martabak !".

Bani took a deep breath, then threw it away violently. "Yes already, Brother anter you go home first, then later Brother look for his martab" said Bani.

Syifa also smiled, when she knew Bani would buy her a martabak.after driving Syifa home, Bani now goes around the streets looking for people who sell martabak.

Thirty minutes Bani down the streets that are usually there are people selling martabak but have not produced results. because it is still too late for selling martabak.but for the sake of his wife Bani still eagerly looking for martabak. from one citizen to another Bani continued to ask where the martabak selling.but most of them said that this hour rarely sells martabak.

Bani decided to walk down a Mall, and hope in the mall there are those who sell martabak. Bani down floor by floor, outlet by outlet but his efforts are in vain, in the Mall there is no one selling martabak.

Bani back forward his car, he drove his car not necessarily direction, until he saw a martabak seller shop.he also stopped his car in front of the store. Bani stared at the building and then noticed the surrounding atmosphere.The shop was still closed.

Five minutes standing in front of the store, a man of about forty years old came to him.

"Excuse me excuse me sir" said the man. turns out the man opened the martabak shop it makes Bani happy.

"Sorry sir, I want to buy two martabaknya" said Bani with a smile sumringah.

"Our shop is not open yet sir, it opens at the earliest at four in the afternoon, and it's still at half-time" the man explained.

"My sister please make it for me only two, my wife at home is craving to eat martabak. I've been looking for where - where but not yet" said Bani

The man was like a kasian to Bani and then came again two men who entered the store with their various luggage.

"Wait a minute sir, I'll make it" said the man.

"Thank you sir" said Bani happily because now he has got his hammer.

During the journey home the smile continues to be engraved on Bani's lips, he imagined how happy his wife when he came home with two martabak boxes according to his wishes.

An hour's drive, Bani has arrived at his residence. "Asalamualaikum" said Bani when entering his house.

"Waalaikumsalam" bi Tuti replied.

"Where's syifa bi ?"

"Neng Syifa in his room, said he wanted to pray Ashar" Bi Tuti replied.

Bani followed to the room of course by carrying two martabak boxes, and when opening the door it was seen Syifa was saying a prayer.

"How long is it ?" one question came out of Syifa's mouth after she finished saying the prayer.
