HAPPY READING'S...⚘⚘⚘
When Happiness continues to envelop this life, then time seems to run, signifying how difficult we live in this mortal world, as if we feel we will live forever. However, as a Muslim, Fauzi always reminded his wife and family not to be too overwhelmed with the beauty of the world.
This life must be balanced, when we are trying to achieve world affairs, then think that we will live forever. In order for what we do today, we continue to live energetically, in the hope that success will meet us in the future. But, on the contrary, when we are trying to achieve the Hereafter, then think that we will die tomorrow. We will sincerely worship and surrender to the Owner of all things.
Five years have passed. Now the Fauzi and Afifa households are always decorated with happiness. Although it cannot be denied, the pebbles that hit the ark of their household remain, and it is considered as a flavoring spice, so that the household life becomes more colorful.
Because the good house is not a household that is never in trouble. However, households where in it are filled with behavior that is in accordance with the Shari'at and people who live it are able to face every problem that comes with wisdom that will actually make themselves more mature.
That morning, Afifa was getting ready with her official dress, she was sitting in front of the dressing table while pinning a small brooch on her left chest.
Fauzi had just finished taking a bath, he was wearing the clothes that Afifa had prepared. "Bund! today go home going nowhere, right?" asked Fauzi while putting his shirt arm in.
Afifa turned towards her husband, then stood up and approached Fauzi. "No, even if there is another event, of course Mother said from yesterday dong, Dad...!" Afifa replied with a smile, her hands deftly inserting buttons on her husband's shirt, "What's the matter, Dad?" afifa asked again after finishing with her last button, then rubbed her husband's firm shoulder.
Fauzi smiled, "Hmmm...., I want to have lunch outside with you and Aa, you want to right?" fauzi's hand extended to Afifa's face.
"Of course, Dad! Aa would also like it, "Afifa replied with a smile mentioning the name of her son whom they used to call Aa.
They stood face to face and threw smiles at each other.
"Darling.., it doesn't feel like we've been married for 9 years, today is the date I turned you down 9 years ago, thank you for all the love you've given me" Fauzi said.
Afifa smiled, then buried her head in the chest of her husband's field. "Fifa also thanked Aji, all this time has been fighting for our family. Fifa apologizes, if all this time Fifa is often negligent with the task of Fifa as a Wife, because often hit with school duties, even often cause a small quarrel among us, Fifa apologizes," Afifa tightened her embrace.
"Yes, Honey! I'm not spared from mistakes, we're going to keep trying to improve ourselves, we're going to live the ark of this household with mutual trust and openness," Fauzi kissed Afifa's head for a very long time, then stretched out his arms, they looked at each other, Fauzi's hands stretched out to Afifa's face and stepped his feet toward Afifa, make Afifa take a few steps back until stuck to the side of the room wall. "My wife's Happy Anniversary, I love you," whispered Fauzi as she landed her lips on her lips, then took a long sip, Afifa replied, until her lips turned red.
"Bruk...!" the sound of a room door opening someone suddenly, "Ayaaah...! Mother...! Let's go!" The voice of a child who is none other than his son who is now 5 years old. The boy was so handsome and dashing in his school uniform. The small checkered shirt of white and orange color is lined with an orange vest as well, as well as trousers complete with a bag that has been stuck on his back.
"Did?" Afifa and Fauzi turned towards the door, both of them immediately released their respective handles, Afifa corrected the position of her hijab which was a bit messy because of her husband's actions.
"Well..., that dashing champ Dad, ready to go?" Fauzi bowed his body as he grabbed the little body of his son, "Here! hug Daddy first!"
"Udah dong Dad," replied the boy after escaping from his father's embrace. "It will check. Mother said, the good boy was delicate lajin chekulah, bial pintel and so great olang," chirping his son who was still slurred sounded very funny in Fauzi's ear. Fauzi smiled broadly.
"Well..., Daddy's hotshot is a pinter, isn't it, Bund?" Fauzi turned towards Afifa.
Afifa approached the two, then bowed to her son's high finger. "Absolutely Dad, Aa's a hotshot Dad and Mommy meeeemaang pinter," Afifa kissed her son's two cheeks. "Come, we're leaving, baby!" Take Afifa and stand up and lead her son.
"Okay, I got out of the car first yeah," Fauzi took the car keys on the nightstand. Then they all came out of the room.
"Mom...! Mom Yuni's...!" call Afifa to her son Baby Sitter who has been working with her since 5 years ago to help her take care of her Son during Afifa's work.
"Yes, Bund...!" Said from inside the room, he immediately came out with a bag of provisions for Fauzan that he had considered like his own son. The 35-year-old woman loved Fauzan very much, she has been taking care of him since the child was still red, until now, so she always wanted to be called Mom, both by Fauzan and all Afifa families. His cheerful attitude, attentiveness and easy mingling with children made Fauzan comfortable with him. Afifa also considered him like a family.
"Tidids..tidids...!" The sound of a car horn was heard outside the house.
"Well, I'm waiting, let's go, baby!" Take Afifa and lead her son out of the house. "Mom! no one is missing, right?" Afifa turned her head back towards Mom Yuni.
"All set, Bund!" Mom Yuni replied with a smile and raised her one hand in a respectful manner, like a soldier to her superior, making Afifa laugh with her attitude.
"Yes, let's go, don't forget to lock all the doors!"
"Ashiaaaap, Mother...!" he said it again, and again made Afifa chuckle.
After Mom Yuni locked all the doors and made sure everything was safe, they got into the car that would take them to a noble place, that is a place full of blessing because every day is always illuminated with the light of science that continues to be dug and shared by people who have been nicknamed as Heroes Without Signs of Service with his students.
Every day, Fauzi and Afifa will take the Son alone wayangnya to seek the blessing of every knowledge given his teachers, to seek the blessing, both by playing in PAUD institutions and studying in a surau with teachers to teach him.
For Afifa and Fauzi, this life must be balanced between the affairs of the World and the Hereafter, as well as those instilled in the Son alone this wayangna. Because the Hereafter is the goal of our life, while the world is the facility to reach the afterlife itself.
As stated in a hadith:
...لَيْسَ بِخَيْرِ كُمْ مَنْ تَرَكَ دُنْيَاهُ لِاخِرَتِهِ وَلاَ اخِرَتَهُ لِدُنْيَاهُ حَتّى يُصِيْبُ مِنْهُمَاجَمِيْعًا...
...فَاِنَّ الدَّنْيَا بَلَاغٌ اِلَى اْلاخِرَةِ وَلَاتَكُوْنُوْا كَلًّ عَلَى النَّاسِ ( رواه ابن عسا كرعن انس )...
...Meaning:...
...“B**is not the best among you the one who abandoned the interests of the world to pursue the afterlife or left the afterlife to pursue the world so as to combine the two. The life of the world leads you to the Hereafter. Do not be a burden to others**”...
