The door handle opened, and the door leaf was pushed from the outside. Selsa opened the door of Elyas' room very slowly as if he was settling – sludge and was afraid of being discovered. He walked deeper inside when the door was wide open. Nor did he close the door again. He left it wide open.
Selsa spread her gaze throughout the room. His eyes were staring at the bed in the room.
Single bed size. Will she sleep with her husband there ? What's the load ? He bites his lower lip when the mind that is not – does not stop by in his brain. Ah, it's impossible. During his stay at home, Elyas never even touched his bed at all. Male – the man prefers to sleep on a sofa that only fits his body.
Male – male as if – if assume if they are not halal and he is afraid to touch Selsa.
Then Selsa re-circulated his View. There's no couch there. Where will Elyas sleep ? How can there be a sofa, if the room is filled with beds, then the work table and chairs are full ?
Huft. Selsa breathed a heavy sigh. He had intended to be a good wife, accepting Elyas with all his flaws and advantages. And he was aware, meaning it also included the condition of Elyas' room.
Then he walked towards a door in the corner of the room, which he believed was the bathroom. Selsa opened the door, and turned half of her body inside. That's right it's the bathroom.
A sink attached to the wall and a small table follows a glass that is also attached to the wall, a bathtub, and a toilet seat. No shower, no bath up there.
Selsa smiled and closed the door again. That's the life he has to live from today.
“ Jolly !!! Umi definitely waiting for me. “ he said monologue. He immediately opened his suitcase lying near the bed, taking the face given by Elyas as a wedding dowry. He put it on the bed, then he opened the bathroom door again to take ablution.
He has not practiced prayer for a long time. But if it is just ablution, he still remembers even though he had to open the Mbah goo to see how ablution intent. Finished ablution, he immediately put on the face of his superior, and brought the face of his subordinates out and followed the Umi who must have been waiting for him in the rear gazebo.
“ Sorry, umi. Selsa lama. “ he said with a smile showing off his row of white teeth.
“ Not what – what. Adzannya also just finished. “ replied umi.
“ Umi …. Mmmm ... “ selsa seems hesitant to say. He nodded while biting his lower lip.
“ What's up ? Hem ? say. “ ask umi.
“ Selsa forgot prayer reading. “ he said softly. “ Selsa .. Selsa long time no running prayers. “ he continued.
Umi who heard him was no longer surprised because Elyas had told her about Selsa's bad habits. But Umi was not disappointed, nor was she angry. He was happy to hear Selsa's honesty. At least, right now, his daughter-in-law wanted to change for the better.
Umi smiled, then stroked Selsa's head. “ Follow umi's movements. We congregate. Umi will be his priest. If the intention is to pray, can it not ? “ ask umi soft.
Selsa shook her head slowly while still remaining down. Umi smiled back to see Selsa shake her head.
“ Umi ajari, you follow ya. “ said soft umi and Selsa immediately nodded with a sparkling face.
“ Ushalli fardhazh-zhuhri “ says umi.
“ Ushalli fardhazh-zuhri “ Selsa follow.
“ arba’a raka’atim mustaqbilal-qiblati “ continue umi.
“ ada’an ma’muman lillahi ta’aalaa. “ further umi back.
“ Adaa’an ma’muman lillahi ta’aalaa. “ Selsa follow.
“ Now, repeat from the beginning. Already memorized what has not. “ umi's word and Selsa nodded.
“ Ushalli .. fardhazh-zhuhri arba’a raka’atim mustaqbillal-qiblati therea’muman lillahi ta’aalaa. “ said Selsa is still with the order. “ How umi, is it right ? “ tanyanya.
Umi smiled as she nodded. He was happy, it turned out Selsa was easy to teach.
“ Now, we directly practice prayer yes. Intention first, continue you follow all the movements of Umi. After this, if you want, we learn to pray together. Starting from his intention, surat al-fatehah, to the final holy prayer. You want to ? “ said umi.
“ Mau, umi. Wanna very. “ replied Selsa quickly with a tone of voice that is very visible if he is enthusiastic.
“ Thankful. Umi grateful, if you want to learn son. “ said umi.
“ Selsa wants to be a good wife for Elyas umi. “ Selsa said.
“ If you want to change, change for yourself, and for God. Never change for someone else. Because if someday the person makes us disappointed, then Umi sure. We will definitely turn bad back. “ umi replied gently and smiled.
Selsa mangosteen – mangosteen heard umi sayings. “ Yes umi. God willing, Selsa wants to change. Selsa wanted to learn a religion that Selsa had long forgotten. Umi wants to teach Selsa, right ? “
“ Of course, son. “ replied Umi. “ Yes already, let's pray dzuhur first. The time is up. “ he continued.
Then they perform Dzuhur prayer together. After the prayer, Umi immerse tahlil for a while. Elyas, who had just come from the mosque, was surprised when he wanted to go to the kitchen to get water, he saw Umi praying with his wife who was behind the earth.
“ Selsa ? “ monologue.
But he chose indifference. He was sure, it must have been Umi who forced Selsa to pray together. He continued his steps towards the kitchen and took some drinking water. He opened the refrigerator, then took a bottle of mineral water and poured it into a glass and chugged it empty.
“ Already home, Yas ? “ asked umi when she found her only son in the kitchen. He had just entered from the backyard still wearing his face.
“ Uh, yes umi. “ Elyas answered while putting his empty glass in the sink.
Umi nodded. “ Umi put mukena first to the room. “ he went to leave Elyas.
“ Umi. “ call Elyas. Umi stopped, then turned her body.
“ What's up ? “ ask umi.
“ Mmm.. Selsa …. Umi who invited him to band together ? “ tanyanya doubt.
Umi smiled, then shook her head. “ Not. Umi did not take him. He himself said to umi, if he wants to pray with umi. “ replied him, then passed leaving Elyas who was still silent full of questions.
