SHAUQ
Archery
The wind blew the window-covering cloth of an Arab suburban tavern, a young man was seen
he was talking with Qalbi seriously about a plan to
do it when the time comes. When the wind involuntarily dipped softly on his cheek, he muttered, “Uqzy, O my beloved. Have you sent me a beautiful poem tonight? Do you also give a sweet kiss through the wind tonight?”
Longing
My heart is great, my love for you is amazing
This longing has no limits
Your love
I have to breathe it in
I love that, your love
“Akumemberkan title SYAUQ, which means yearning SYAM to UQzy,” murmured the young man. Unknowingly, many ears hear the beautiful verse until someone memorizes and even writes it.
Tonight, is the night that will bring disaster, the entire Arabian peninsula will know the love story of Sham to Uqzy. Like Majnun's famous love story, so did Sham, with some of his mutters, people spread the beautiful verse on their way.
The days changed, and now the sun had revealed its magnificent light perfectly to shine on this universe. The birds began to sing and dance in the air, while the workers, who had left since dawn.
“Yes Allah, with your blessing and your permission, today I will do a good and peace for the two tribes. I ask You, O Allah, O Allah, O Most Gracious, Most Merciful.”
According to the agreed plan, Syam came to his father's room while carrying a beautiful jewel that he bought at the market yesterday with Qalbi. Making the gift that his son brought, of course, made his heart happy, even forgetting the events that had passed.
“For Abi,” said Syam while giving the beautiful gem.
“Is there something you want to ask for from this abi. Syam?”
“Of course Abi, Syam wants to invite Abi to archery. The loser must obey the demand
“Hahahaha, you are so big that you have taken a bet with your brother. Alright Abi tag along.” While extending a hand as a sign of agreement.
“Can it be in written form too, Abi? And witnessed by many?”
“Hahahaha, who taught you? You are very smart in making deals.
Alright, father will order everyone to watch our match as well as show us our written agreement.”
“Thank you Abi.”
The smile rose on the little young man's lips, which signified his plan was successful. As planned yesterday, Qalbi was in charge of giving news to all scholars to arrive. Of course begged to help defend if Ayahanda Syam
broke his word.
The whole community saw the letter of agreement perched on either side of the gate of the field and watched the archery match between the boy and the father. There was no intent to cheat in this match. Faith in God, if he wins, then God will accept this struggle. If he loses, he
will find another way.
“Are you ready, Syam?” ask Aris who already intends to aim at the board
goal.
“Sure, Abi. Syam has prepared all this with mature expertise.”
“Alright, because both parties are ready. Guards, please turn,” order mother Syam
to the guard to move the arrow board. Yes, this match is not ordinary. Requires sharpness and precise estimates to be able to hit the target perfectly. Rhythmic movements on both sides make the vision of Sham so sharp to be able to penetrate it. The arrow board continues
moving from right to left, until an arc finally comes off. Aris started this match that made Sham surprised.the article he never saw his father play such things, but this time immediately got a score of Nine, almost perfect. How's him? Of course he has to get the perfect points to win this first round.
