Rasidha Bidadari Clear-eyed

Chapter 8 - Zaid's condition drop

Rasidha was very surprised by Aisyah's explanation to him, he did not expect that the change from Zaid was all thanks to him who was then five years old. Able to thrill and melt the heart of a man known to be cruel, ruthless, and indiscriminate. A man at that time understood the true meaning of life when he chanted the holy verse of the Qur'an. 

Both eye beads began to emit a clear liquid that dripped by itself, the sincerity of the heart of his adoptive father who picked up the guidance through him. "So that's why Zaid's father embraced Islam?" 

"True darling, don't forget the kindness from him due to a speck of black stains."

"I've forgiven you, Bi. I am the one who does not forgive others, while Allah is forgiving. But, I really need some time to make peace with this situation." Reply Rasidha who immediately left the place. 

Aisyah wipes away the tears, remembering how Simon who turned into Zaid with an invitation of guidance through the little girl who has now grown up. 

Rasidha returned to the dormitory with shaky steps, she had no idea what to do. 

He wanted to make peace, but his heart still could not be compromised. "God, why is this so hard for me?" he murmured inwardly, not focusing on the streets making him almost stumble. Someone swiftly caught his body and as fast as lightning also uttered an Istighfar.

"Astaghfirullah hal'adzim, next time focus your eyes forward." 

Rasidha raised his head, looking at a man he did not know. "Sorry, and thank you." He spoke briefly and continued his footsteps.

"Hi, wait! You left your book" said the man, making Rasidha turn his body. 

"Hem." Rasidha who was not in the mood only replied with a glance of a smile, he immediately took the money book down and put it in the bag. The moment he picked it up, all the books scattered about making the man hold a smile. Exasperated, he immediately picked up all the books patiently. 

"Let me help." Said the man who helped pick up the scattered books. "You won't be able to carry all these books, let me."

"But how is it possible. Men should not enter the women's dormitory" replied Rasidha who was a little uncomfortable with the presence of a foreign man in front of him.

"I know, I'll take you in front of the gate." 

"All right." Rasidha agreed to it and took some distance from the man, no chatter was created just silence. 

Arriving at the barrier gate, Rasidha picked up all of his books and immediately left the place after saying a word of thanks

"Wait!" assault the man who stopped the steps of the white-hooded girl.

"What's wrong?" 

"I don't know your name yet."

"Rasidha, that's my name." His words that immediately left left the man standing behind him. 

"Rasida? So that's his name? Very unique as the person." The man muttered that immediately left the place. 

"What are you doing in this place?" asking someone made the man turn to the source of the voice. 

"I'm just helping the girl." Follow him casually.

"Which girl?" 

"Here you are, forget it."

"Well, but why are you here, Gus Habib?"

Afif was very angry with the behavior of a cousin who was very far from the category of a Gus, never felt at home in a pesantren, the longest lasting only a few months. "I'll show you your room, come along!" 

"All right." Said Gus Habib who followed the footsteps of his older cousin, he smiled as he imagined the face of the girl. "It looks like I'm going to stay here" he said.

Afif turned his head and stopped his footsteps, until Gus Habib accidentally hit the brother. "Why did you stop?" the upset.

"Why are you smiling?" 

"Can't I smile?" cetus Gus Habib was upset by the words of his older cousin. 

"Don't tell me you're imagining santriwati here?" search Afif.

"What indeed? I'm twenty-five years old. If I have an interest in the opposite sex, I'm normal anyway."

"From now on don't think of anyone, focus on learning before carrying out the world of work according to uncle's mandate."

"Of course."

Rasidha put all the books into a small drawer, wiping away the sweat that soaked his forehead. "Alhamdulillah to the end." 

Now everyone focuses on the lessons described by the teacher, being orderly and disciplined, first adab and then Science in second place. All the santriwati heard very well, noting some important points that will be remembered. Rasidha quickly worked on the problems given ustadzah, because the lessons described have been learned first. 

Finished doing all the problems, Rasidha was allowed to go out first and he decided to go in the park to deposit memorization as usual. 

"Sister Rasidha.Kak Rasidha," called someone who ran towards him.

"Yes, what's wrong?" Rasidha was very panicked when he saw the look on Ayna's face.

"I-that's pa-paman Zaid in the hospital."

Deg

It was as if his heart had stopped beating, hearing the name of the father who had given him affection for eighteen years. Holding Ayna's shoulders and shaking the teenager's body as if not believing what happened. "What did you say?" 

"I said right, Brother. Umi and Abi asked me to call Brother, we're going to town."

"Hem." Rasidha immediately ran in search of the whereabouts of his aunt and uncle. His feelings were mixed with what he felt at this moment. "What's wrong with my dad?" his crying murmur, he could no longer stem the rushing tears.

Finally he saw Aisyah and immediately approached, scattering a hug and sobbing. "Dad, Bi. Father." He said very nervous. "Is it because of me?" he began to blame himself who was guilty of Zaid's condition which was immediately rushed by Suci to the hospital.

Aisyah returned the embrace and also shed tears, gently rubbing Rasidha's back with gentleness. "We're leaving now, your father needs his daughter."

"Come, Bi." Said Rasidha who was excited to return to the city, he was very worried about the condition of the foster father who dropped post regarding the truth of the past to make the relationship the two away. 

"I'm a sinner, I'm the cause of father drop. Oh God.Give me healing for my father, I am so sorry for my decision. Give me a chance to serve him, he's my best father." The one who prays in the heart. 

Aisyah and Rasidha waited for Doni for a few minutes, then they decided to leave for the city and head straight for the nearest hospital. They hope if Zaid's condition is not severe.
