In a kitchen, two women are cooking for their family lunch.
They both cook and tell stories, especially the mother-in-law who asked her daughter-in-law about her new life with the child several weeks ago.
Well the two women are ummi Parida and Badriah. The two of them work hand in hand to cook the family's favorite menu.
"Oh, son, how was it in the hamlet?" ask ummi Parida on Di'ah.
"Alhamdulillah good Mi," said Di'ah.
"Hmmm, as long as there are you ndak hassles son?" say ummi Parida while stirring sambal in the cauldron/wokan.
"There is no electricity" added Ummi Parida
"Emm early was a bit of a hassle ummi, if there the lights only live at night." replied Di'ah with his hands still busy cleaning vegetables.
"And the house also has no washing machine, but thank God the bathroom is in the room and there is a tagmon, so if the bath Ndak must go to the well." added Di'ah.
"O that, so it must stay at night when the lights are on" said Ummi Parida.
"Yes ummi." replied Di'ah.
"When do you purify the night?" ask ummi Parida.
"Yes ummi, but only a few days because after that Mr. Syahril bought his own ganset machine." replied Di'ah, ummi was still busy with the stove while listening
"Nah brother Syahril not only buy ganset but he also bought a washing machine, blender, oven and other purposes" said Di'ah with slicing red onions and other ingredients to saute vegetables.
"Said brother Syahril so that Mimi can make him her favorite cake and let's not tired of washing clothes." he added, ummi just smiled hearing the story of Di'ah.
"Kak Syahril is very attentive with Mimi" said Di'ah Lirih, ummi Parida stopped for a moment from cooking activities and looked at the daughter-in-law.
"But it makes you better too" said Ummi Parida.
"Yes too." replied Di'ah.
"Keep while Mimi's sleeping with you, son?" ask ummi Parida
"Yes la ummi, Umm know for yourself brother Ryan. Emm Mimi slept in Syahril's room." replied Di'ah, ummi was speechless by looking at Di'ah.
"They slept together?" ask ummi Parida again.
"Yes at first Mimi sleeps alone Ummi, but. emm. eventually they sleep together room." replied Di'ah felt bad.
"meaning?" tanya ummi Parida wants to hear more clearly.
"Yes, at first Syahril slept outside for a few days, emm .. after that she slept in Mimi's room" Di'ah said.
"Can't you?" ask ummi
"Emm it's because. emm it.." replied Di'ah hesitantly clarifying it.
"That's what?" ask ummi Parida
"Emm it's ummi, emm. it's.." Di'ah felt choked because he was confused to explain how to his mother-in-law. Ummi was still looking towards Di'ah waiting for his explanation.
"Emm said brother Syahril he could not sleep because of emm." said Diah while taking a deep breath.
"Because?" ask Ummi Parida
"Emm because I said brother Syahril emm he can not sleep because he was uncomfortable hearing the sound from our room" said Di'ah with a soft word at the end he said. Ummi Parida smiled understandingly.
"Oo that" said Ummi Parida and continued the cooking
"Emm ummi believes Syahril can certainly take care of himself" said Ummi Parida while shaking his head because his brain had wandered over the treatment of his nephew.
Di'ah who heard there was envy in his heart.
"Hmm that's it." said Di'ah.
After all the cooking is done cooked and the dirty equipment is also washed. Ummi Parida invited Di'ah to sit back on the terrace in the kitchen.
"here son. We sit back before the others go home" said Ummi Parida by inviting Di'ah to relax. Di'ah nodded and followed where Umm Parida was.
"Racid?" ask Ummi Parida on Di'ah.
"Emm ndak Mi" she replied in her mouth but in her heart was different.
"Emm what time are you leaving? kok nyampe his morning nian." asked ummi Parida.
"We leave at four in the afternoon via Mi."
"Mm your pantesan quick nyampe, did you guys have a travel message first an?" ummi Parida.
"Emm if we ndak mi, the other doctor took a trip this morning and there were those who joined us yesterday afternoon, there happened to be a trip between passengers in." replied Di'ah.
"Well, if you don't get on a trip by car who?"
"Emm we ride the Mimi Mi car, he said." said Di'ah like hit a jackpot because ummi Parida asked about the car.
Ummi Parida frowned before returning to ask "I mean?".
"Yes that means, Mimi bought a car when we were just nyampe." replied Di'ah.
"Yes he said Ryan's brother was Mimi's car" he added.
Ummi Parida is still silent with the brain thinking wonder about the purpose of the talk of his son-in-law.
"Mimi bought a car? you mean what he said Ryan, son? not buying it with you?" ask ummi Parida.
"Yes ndak Mi." she replied.
"Yes ndak that Mi, we just nyampe directly to the hamlet hall. Well when we got there were two patients who turned out to have a history of the heart that needs immediate treatment, so Mimi suggested that the patient be taken to the city hospital that day." Di'ah began to tell the events when they had just arrived in the hamlet and Ummi Parida continued to listen to the words of Di'ah.
"Well, a few days Mimi and Syahril accompanied the patient in the city, when they returned home they both had Mi cars." said Di'ah.
"And since then, Mimi and Syahril have always gone to work anywhere by car, while I'm just walking from home to the health center, if brother Ryan is serving to the next hamlet, use a puskesmas service car or ambulance." said Di'ah.
"At that time I protested the same brother Ryan, so that Kaka Ryan borrowed the car so that the two of us could also use a private car wherever we served but brother Ryan did not want to be even angry." said Di'ah, starting to tell about the car that Mimi bought, he also seemed to complain to ummi Parida.
"Why is Ryan angry?" tanya ummi Parida who wants to pry what is meant by Di'ah.
"Yes he said brother Ryan ndak yang Mi, I think why should not feel good anyway the car must be brother Syahril who bought it right, it's impossible that Mimi's car buy itself."
"But Ryan said that it was Mimi's real car because he said it was Mimi's own money-packed car. Try ummi imagine, where there is Mimi can buy cash cars directly that."
"What else right all this time Mimi finances her parents and her sister Ay continues from where Mimi can buy a car if not Syahril who bought it" Di'ah with his spirit told me all about the car to Ummi Parida.
"Have you asked Mimi directly?" tanya ummi Parida and Di'ah shook their heads.
"Do you want to buy Ryan a car?" asked ummi Parida again, Di'ah hesitated to answer what because she remembered Ryan's words at that time.
"Emm ndak Mi." she replied softly.
"Son, ummi thinks you know who Mimi is and how she is" said Ummi Parida, who began advising her daughter-in-law.
"If ummi is not so close to him, ummi knows who he wants. What else umma you always tell me how Mimi's been doing."
"Of course you know how Mimi's football trip has been." Di'ah just nodded.
"She's a good girl, she's very lucky to be able to get a scholarship and reach her goals."
"What else during his stay in the area of people, yes even though he studied without charge but his daily life and some practical costs he uses his own costs."
"Ummi and umma you heard the story of ummi Fatma and ummi Fatimah who were in Semarang, they told how Mimi's life while in Semarang who lectures while selling cakes."
"Ummi salute and is proud of Mimi she can live a hard life in people's areas."
"Not to mention when she worked at the hospital of her late husband-to-be first. He also worked hard to advance the hospital."
"And since her candidate died, Mimi decided to work at another hospital. Even though the parents of the candidate still want Mimi to work there, what else do the parents of the candidate also love Mimi even though they still consider Mimi their child until now, you know that?" again Di'ah nodded.
"Emm what else when Mimi works in the city of swords, ummi heard she works not only in one hospital. So persistent is Mimi in her work that she forgets time for herself."
"Maybe at this time what he achieved is the fruit of his patience, the fruit of his hard work, the fruit of all the prayers of his loving people especially the fruit of the do'a of his parents."
"Ummi was also convinced that Mimi bought it with her own sweat."
"Son, ummi hope you do not have or keep envy in your heart yes, it is not good" said ummi Parida, but Di'ah did not accept that Ummi said he was envious
"I'm not jealous of you" she replied.
"Just try to shadow Mimi how Mimi has a lot of money, she also costs her family" said Di'ah, ummi just smiled and shook her head.
"Son.. It's not that Mimi wants to defend Mimi, it's not good that we calculate what other people's earnings are imagining."
"If we want to calculate it, just try to calculate the salary of a doctor and just multiply it during his work so far, in addition to his work in a hospital in LA. If we calculate people's income in detail, there's nothing wrong, son. All the sustenance of God governs it."
"Ummi hope to eliminate prejudice is not good" said Ummi Parida by stroking Di'ah's head affectionately.
"Allah SWT has reminded us of His servant to stay away from envy and envy. One of the warnings is listed in the Quran letter An Nisa verse 23 which reads: “And do not envy (hasud) what God has given to some of you more than others.” (QS. An Nisa: 23)"
"In addition to being reminded in the Quran, the danger of hasud is also emphasized in the Hadith of the Prophet PBUH"
Two Things Where Envy Can Be Justified
“There is no envy except for two things, one whom God gives a treasure and spends it on the right goal, and one whom God gives knowledge and wisdom and he implements and teaches it.” (CHR. Al Bukhari and Tirmidhi)
Prohibition of Pencica from the Envy of the Heart
“Do not be jealous and envious of each other and do not bring out the ugliness of others. Do not hate each other and do not be hostile to each other and do not bid higher on other offers. Be the brothers of God. A Muslim is a brother to another Muslim, so must not betray him, banish him, lie to him and humiliate him. A person has been said to do evil if he insults his fellow Muslim brother. Every Muslim hides his blood for another Muslim, as well as his wealth and honor.” (CHR. Al Bukhari and Muslim)
Be Careful of Hasud
“Beware of hasud (iri and spite), in fact hasud erodes the rewards as fire eats wood.” (CHR. Abu Daud)
Envy and Envy are Diseases
“The disease of the people before you have attacked you is spiteful and hateful. Hate is a cutter; a religious cutter and not a hair cutter. By the One whose soul Muhammad is in His hand, you do not believe until you love each other. Will you show me something that if you do then you love each other? Spread the greetings between you.” (CHR. Tirmidhi)
"Ummi hopes that you will not keep that feeling, son, think positively about what else Mimi is your best friend and soon will also be your brother."
"Now ummi is asking you. Do you want to buy a car?" ummi Parida said, Di'ah shook his head.
"Do you regret marrying Ummi's son?" tanya ummi again, Di'ah looked into the eyes of ummi and she shook her head.
"Son, even if we have nothing and our brother has everything does not mean we are willing to use our brother even if it is our brother," said ummi Parida by pulling Di'ah's head to rest on his shoulder.
"Preciate others even if they belong to your siblings. If we want to borrow, borrow well, but when we borrow they also need, then do not hurt."
"If we see other people succeed, then look at how they can succeed and imitate their ways."
"Originally you know your son, ummi and Abi are not rich people. You can see for yourself that our lives are different from those of your umma and babah."
"Abi is only a PNS in the religious and ummi office as well as PNS in the field of nutrition, our lives are like this son, it's just that your Abi always. as a PNS he is also the owner of this pesantren and he is not only alone there is Abi Mansyur mu abinya Andri." said ummi Parida.
Ummi continues to give advice and tell his life to Di'ah, ummi hopes Di'ah does not have or m keep envy in his heart.
Di'ah who was still on the shoulders of ummi fell silent and listened to all the advice from Ummi Parida.
