My Imam, my army

tense

"your eyes, you're puffy?" Salsa asked the woman in front of her. Two glasses of hot chocolate drink stood sweetly on that standard-sized table.

After driving Salsa's parents home to the airport, Salsa received a message from her best friend to go to one of the coffee shops in their town. Who else if not Rena. Salsa had permission from her husband, and Dirga wanted to drive Salsa to see Rena. Dirga went to work first. Not to forget, the man offered an invitation to Salsa. However, the girl refused and chose to take a taxi home. There was a minor dispute over Salsa's refusal to accept his offer. However, Dirga relented.

"Gue was crying" said Rena limp.

"Just like a child" Salsa said after drinking her warm chocolate.

"Emang why?"

Rena looked forward, "it's normal, girls pms that way," he said usually.

Salsa nodded her head. No wonder her best friend was crying. Because he also often feels in a phase like Rena when the pre-menstrual period comes. Sometimes the mood disappears instantly like in the buto ijo swallow and emotions quickly rise. It is natural for women who are experiencing menstruation.

"Have you, breakfast?" Salsa asked who saw Rena look lethargic. Usually, the girl was very cheerful. However, this is also usually the case with Rena. Salsa was not surprised.

Suddenly, Salsa's phone ringing rang, she immediately picked it up.

It seemed that the phone was very important as it was visible from Salsa's expression turning grim.

Rena saw it immediately rose from her seat. Without asking why to Salsa he already knew the current condition.

After finishing picking up the phone, Salsa hurriedly said goodbye to Rena. Not to forget he left a hundred thousand bills to pay for his drink. In fact, Rena had rejected the money, but lost quickly with Salsa who had moved away from him.

Salsa quickly searched for an empty taxi and Allah, the Most Merciful, found the empty taxi.

Salsa immediately came in and gave her the address where she worked. Moments ago, Dirga called Salsa if there was a soldier in the military hospital who had an accident. Somehow it could happen Salsa did not know the full news. The patient should be operated immediately. In this situation, Salsa is also forbidden to rush so that his mind is not in a fog. He must keep his mind concentrated in this situation.

Salsa arrived at the military hospital, the girl immediately ran into the ER after paying her taxi fare. The situation there is gripping.

Salsa looked at Dirga, and quickly the woman immediately reached out her small bag to Dirga.

He raised his sleeves slightly upwards to make it easier to handle his patients. Blood continues to flow from the patient's chest due to broken car glass that stuck in the chest of the patient. Salsa immediately told the other nurses to immediately prepare the operating room. While waiting for the operating room to be ready, he gave a breathing aid so that the patient remained conscious.

You can imagine, the broken glass of the car that stuck the chest!

Before long the nurse told me the operating room was ready. With Allah's good name mentioned repeatedly, Salsa pushed along with other medical staff towards the operating room.

Salsa only wants Allah to simplify its operation.

In the operating room it is very cold so that the doctor who is operating on the patient does not produce sweat. The atmosphere is so gripping. Only the lighting in the middle of the patient is right on.

They prayed before the operation. The anesthesiologist is ready. The way anesthesia works is to stop or block nerve signals from the pain center that the patient will feel during surgery or when undergoing certain medical procedures.

In the middle of their operation, there are obstacles that make the atmosphere even more tense. However, Salsa should not panic as it will affect the messy way it works not according to the procedure.

Salsa stretched her slightly stiff muscles. Then, he removed his blue robe as well as the mask that was still stuck on his face.

After washing his hands, he walked in search of Dirga's whereabouts to retrieve his bag. But, Salsa did not know where Dirga was at the moment. He glanced at his watch, soon dhuhur prayer time. He thought that Dirga would invite him to perform congregational prayers at the mosque. There was little time, he used to take a shower after the surgery. Luckily, there was a bathroom in the room.

He also brought a change of clothes just in case.

It does not take long, finally Salsa has a bath and wears a soft pink colored robe that looks calm and elegant. He glanced at his watch again, just in time to pray dhuhur. In a moment, Dirga will pick him up as usual.

Exactly right!

After Salsa answered the greetings from behind the door of her room, Dirga was seen revealing his form while carrying a small Salsa bag.

"Thank you Space," said Salsa.

"Together, Sal. Later end of the dhuhur prayer, eat my subscription catfish pecel, yes." It seems that this sentence was spoken by Dirga in a commanding tone and should not be rejected by Salsa.

"Because yesterday you turned down a date with me, then today, you have to pay for it, Sal," he said steadily and firmly. Salsa is not dislike, but Salsa is more embarrassed by Dirga. Moreover, the guilt is constantly appearing.

"Yes, yes" said Salsa trying to neutralize her heart.

Salsa was actually also amazed by Dirga's attitude. What he saw before Salsa married Dirga, the man was very cold and gluttonous. Like an authoritarian and dictator. But Salsa was wrong. Yes, if the face is often deceiving. Sometimes there are faces that look evil but actually calm.

Then from that!

Never look at the physicality of others through the cover alone without knowing the contents!

They immediately walked to the mosque because the Adhan had reverberated melodiously. When they got there, they took the water.

Again and again, sitting down before God is what makes our hearts calm. Any heavy problem if made worship will always decrease.

We as human beings should be grateful for whatever God gives us without complaining. Sometimes Allah tests His servant with a great test, but believe that God is showing great favor to His servant who has gone through the trials He has given to His servant. Behind great problems, there is always great kindness.

Until their prayers are over, Dirga invites Salsa to visit his flagship roadside stall. Who else if not a pecel lele mbok Surti stall that according to Dirga very maknyus. Earlier, Dirga had invited his best friend, Angga, but Angga refused with frills the reason you two are alone, later I even disturb your date.

They walked to the car park. When halfway to the parking lot, there was a crowd facing the television that was broadcasting a news story.

Dirga stopped his steps and looked at Salsa. Understand his wife's movements.

What is it about Salsa? Why did the woman stop her steps?
