Choki took off his arms from Eliana. Then he looked into the bead of his mother's eyes. "Choki's also looking for a way, Ma. Therefore, I deepened the religion that I had embraced since birth. The religion that Mama and papa have embodied in my identity," Choki replied gently.
Eliana was immediately struck by what the son said. True, this religion they have adopted and they made an identity for decades. But he knew nothing about Islam.
Even his duty as a Muslim is never done. Islam is only an identity when he is recognized as religious while he does not recognize the existence of his God at all.
How can I say to admit that worship only reluctant.
The words of the son in fact gave a hard slap to Eliana.
Until, his tears flowed so hard as regret suddenly poured out from his heart.
"Ma ...,"
"Touche ...."
"Yes, Ma."
"You want Mama to find that path, too. Bring Mama, Son?" eliana said as she tightened her sobs.
"Ma, soon the Maghrib Adhan. Choki's gonna take a shower. Later Mama can also be prepared, and we will do congregational prayers," said Choki with a big smile that adorns his face.
His heart was so happy and grateful that in the end his mother was touched to improve the faith.
"Yes, Son. Mama will also take your papa," replied Eliana.
"Mandi gih sana! Slovenly, hug Mama all over again," ledek Eliana.
"Yes Ma, sorry. It was Mama who asked, if not wrong," choki seduced while running into the room because Eliana wanted to pinch him.
Eliana came down from the top floor with the intention of coming back to her husband. He would tell of the turmoil of feelings that at that moment shook his soul. It was as if a force was pulling him to a glimmer of light and it made his chest almost explode from happiness.
For a moment, he felt full of regret and fear.
Choki was shocked when he found the wife who was behind the door of his room.
"Darling, you saw that I was the same mama-"
Choki did not continue his words because Annisa had nodded first.
"So, is that why you're crying?" choki asked as he reached out his hand intending to wipe away the tears that had soaked Annisa's cheeks.
But Annisa quickly put her face back.
"Lho why?" wonder Choki.
"Annisa is ablution," he answered, wiping away his tears.
"Oh, that. Sorry to yes. You'll be magrib soon too. God willing, we will pray together. Hopefully mama can make sure papa goes to pray with us," said Choki expectantly with a chest that inexplicably thumped fast.
"Aamiin, O God. May God grant us what we expect. May papa and mama want to lower their ego levels to remember God again," said Annisa, who again sobbed full day.
Annisa is a kara. So that he wanted his two parents-in-law to consider and accept him as a child. Because in her heart Annisa really wants to return to have a full family.
"Bag shower first, then hunt adzan."
Annisa prepares Choki's change of clothes after her husband enters the bathroom.
"O Allah, I hope that on this day YOU will send guidance to this family, especially my father and mother-in-law Annisa," he said in prayer.
In Alberto and Eliana's room.
"Enough Eli! I know what I'm doing right now is what my heart says! You don't have to follow me to dictate. All this time I have been silent and follow my every will, but not the idealism that I have always embraced. You can't just change it and say that it's wrong based on your glasses. Listen Eli, my rules are rules. Even if you are my wife" Alberto said with a hard-hearted attitude.
Eliana looked down to look at every sentence her husband said.
Alberto was very hard-hearted and also stubborn.
He could not force the man to follow his will at this moment.
"alright. If you don't want to come along, it's okay. Let me go" Eli said, stepping out of the room with a sad heart.
This time, she received a strong rejection from her husband. In fact, he is no longer valuable if juxtaposed with ego and also idealistic Alberto. During this time, Alberto stayed with him and followed all his wishes as long as he followed the man's idealism.
"Why not come?" choki asked when the only one who came upstairs was Eliana with her own face.
"Maybe not today, son," replied Eliana.
Choki nodded with a charming smile on his face wet with ablution water.
"Goddess, Ma. Mama just wanted to come along Choki and Annisa was very grateful. We're sure, stay for papa to follow after this," said Choki trying to calm the heart of the mother.
"Annis." Eli clasped the palm of his son-in-law with a huffed face. "Is it okay if at this time Mama just follow her movements? Mama ... had forgotten the reading," asked Eli with his honest confession.
"Yes, Ma. Inshaallah ... Allah knows what is in the heart of his servant. Slowly Ma, slowly," Annisa explained gently and also courteously.
"Thank you Annisa" Eli said, stroking the back of his daughter-in-law's hand.
The prayer began.
At the moment of raising her hand to the impetus of ihram, Eliana felt an overwhelming vibration she felt in her chest.
Trying his hardest, holding Isak sobbing so as not to slide out of his lips.
The feeling was increasingly shahdu Eliana felt until the first prostration.
Here, he felt small and meant nothing.
"I'm sorry, Eli, God. All this time have forgotten you. Though there has been so much happiness and luck that YOU have presented in my life. Give me a chance to return to the straight path and truly THOU Ridhoi. Aamiin," inwardly Eliana, followed the prayer in her heart with tears rushing down her cheeks.
After greeting this woman was no longer able to hold the sobbing that she had been holding.
Chiko is no different.
This man felt so happy and grateful because thanks to the will of God the mother could he invite back to their religious path.
Annisa hugged Eli and rubbed his trembling back. This woman was crying and hugging.
"Trust, Ma. God's mercy is greater than heaven and earth" whispered Annisa.
Without them realizing that there is a figure peeking from the stairs.
The man's eyes inexplicably heated up when he saw the scene.
"What feeling is this? Nah! I can't possibly melt down and give up. I won't lose to them. It's all mine and I got it in my own way" Alberto's inner self was still with a hardened heart.
