Title: Love Don't Blame God
_________________________
A clean white boy dressed in red white signifies that he is still in Elementary School, down the road to a door that seems to call him. Forcing a desire in his soul that made his pace even faster. The boy began to enter by saying his greetings with a radiant face.
'Assalamu'alaikum.' he said slowly while throwing his bag into the bed that seemed soft until his bag bounced back. Then the man rushed to the living room.
'Wa'alaikum greetings, What is the test? Can?' ask a woman who looks like mothers from behind a room that looks like she is washing dishes. The sound of the rustling of the shower water hitting the plate seemed to accompany the event.
'Mira!' said the mother a bit loudly while continuing the washing.
'If I can't, I can't go home, ma'am, and this one thing is UN, not a regular test' mirza replied in a lazy tone as she approached the orange cat who was fast asleep on the green leaf rubber sofa.
'What's difficult?' asked his mother again while turning off the tap and being connected to wiping the dishes.
'Easy' Mirza replied as she stroked her Cat's neck. The cat also looks delicious by closing its eyes while raising its head. Mirza is a smart kid. But not smart enough to control his arrogance
'Mildang means 100 you know.' said his mother underestimated him. His mother then walked into the living room and sat on the sofa at a distance.
'Why, why did I get 100? My mother never answered Mirza.
'That kid should be smarter than his parents. Don't be smarter than your child. Ntar was a shame, ' said his mother, looking at the window. While Mirza only mimicked the words of her mother by shaking her lips as if mocking her mother's words.
'That's no big deal, ma'am. Tired of Exams. Want to play with the Cat' said Mirza while carrying her Cat away from the living room. Mirza went to her backyard while putting her cat down. The cat got up and pointed its front legs forward and bent its body down. That's how cats relax their bodies.
Mirza looks anxious. Especially now that his cat took a sand bath and then licked his body. Mirza just smiled.
'Puss.' said Mirza calling her Cat gently. But the Cat does not care about it and is still busy with her body and soft feathers.
Mirza's eyes looked empty. As if thinking of something. It seems that Mirza is daydreaming while looking at her Cat.
My cat…
You're so funny…
So adorable…
You are my only friend in the world…
The one that was there when I was lonely…
By ourselves…
When I am sad…
When I am happy…
Loved you…
Mirza said in her heart. Then Mirza approached her Cat and began stroking her back and soft fur.
'I was so lonely, if I had a sister. I will definitely love her very much Mirza said very slowly. And maybe only he and God can hear what he says.
The night wind began to feel. The chirping of birds accompanied the sinking of the sun. The sky reddened followed by the chanting of Tilawatil Qur'an footage from the speaker of the old mosque. A few moments later the reverberating adhan signifies prayer time. Mirza rushed to the mosque dressed in white cocoa, black sarongs and white peci.
Pray with a sincere heart. After the prayer is over, the Imam's greeting is followed by his Master. Mirza did not go home. But pray to God.
'O Allah, help you to deal with my loneliness. O God, give me a sister. Oh God, thank you for your test. Make me graduate with good grades. Make my parents proud, God. Amen.' follows Mirza's prayer spoken in the heart. Then Mirza rubbed her hand against her face. Mirza got up and rushed home.
The long holiday is over. Now is the time for Mirza to busy herself as a student of 3rd class MTs. Mirza set off on a Ninja motorcycle a gift from her father for ranking first in her class. School was lived happily as usual until finally when he came home from school, he got the shocking news that his mother was 2 weeks pregnant.
How happy Mirza until every day to school smile until thought he was crazy by his theme. Up to 9 months and 1 day her sister was born safely and named Dania.
All her life, Mirza loved her sister and never once snapped at her. Mirza is always there when her sister needs her. When Dania is scared, when she needs PR help, when she asks to be canned, ask to be escorted to the bathroom, to ask to accompany her sleep. Mirza didn't sleep until her sister fell asleep. How great is Mirza's affection for Dania. So that Dania prefers to be with Mirza than her own parents.
A few years passed and now Dania was 15 years old. Dania grew up beautiful and already understood what love meant. However, Dania misplaced her love. She loves Mirza who is her own sister. But Dania did not reveal it. He just wrote in his diary.
Older brother…
If you knew I was comfortable by your side…
I know this is called love…
I just want to be with you at two times…
Now it's…
And Forever…
Dania said on the ink nicks on the paper. Until now it was Dania's turn to serve her beloved sister. Dania was there when Mirza needed her. Always provide a drink when his brother comes home from work, stomp his brother when he is busy in front of the monitor screen, and become a place to vent from the daily problems experienced by his brother. Dania doesn't want to burden her sister with her problems because she loves Mirza.
Dania was happy because she was getting closer to her beloved sister. So did Mirza who was happy with her sister's behavior.
Dania's happy story ended 2 years later. When Dania was cleaning the house while smiling because of her happiness, she was suddenly surprised by the arrival of her Brother.
Dania was surprised by someone who was with Mirza. A beautiful woman who looks identical to Mirza enters the house with Mirza. They both look radiant.
'Assalamu'alaikum. Father, Mother, Sister.' Mirza said as she called her family. Before long, his mother and father and Dania came to Mirza.
'Wa'alaikumsalam, Eh... This beautiful woman who is Mir?' ask his mother with a smile. Her father also smiled except for Dania who looked scowled bending her face.
'Well, Mom, Brother. It's Halizah, Mirza's friend MI time, MTs, until College and work. This is the future father-in-law and mother.' Mirza replied gently.
'Subhanallah Mir.. This is beautiful Mir, what else is a veiled gini. Seen Sholeha.' praise his mother.
'Thank you ma'am, I could've said Halizah shyly.
'Iya Mir, it's not wrong that you choose your father's ghost. Let Daddy's grandson be handsome and beautiful like his parents. Hehe' Mirza's father said with a small laugh. Dania just kept quiet and went straight into the room without saying anything.
Everyone seemed to be astonished by Dania's unusual behavior. In the room, Dania immediately lay on her stomach with her head covered in pillows and cried. How sad to have the heart of Dania because of love.
'Ap.pa it is my fault, O Allah.' said Dania with her mouth silenced by a pillow on her face. Dania cried incessantly until late at night. However, Dania's cries were ignored by her family. Finally Dania forced herself out of the room and lived her day as usual as if nothing had ever happened.
The days passed with the sadness that Dania experienced. Pain that can not be imagined painful. Until finally 5 months passed and now Mirza has 3 weeks married to Halizah.
Mirza goes to work and her parents lie in her room, looking for an opportunity to meet Halizah. Finally Dania managed to herd Halizah in the room. With a frightened face, Halizah obeyed her sister-in-law.
'I actually love Brother Mirza. And not the love of Brother to Sister. But love is like a lover' said Dania in front of Halizah. How surprised Halizah was at the words of Dania. To the extent that his eyes looked round because he was shocked.
'And you!!! Must remember. Never make my brother's heart hurt…!!!' dania said rudely while pointing at Halizah's head. Halizah was only glued while shedding tears without saying anything. Halizah sobbed sadly.
'Hiks... hiks... hiks..' said sad Halizah.
'If that happens, I don't hesitate to act!!' dania continued with a sharp eye and immediately left Halizah in the room alone. Suddenly though.
'Hoeeks.' Halizah's voice vomited and fell straight into the bed. Dania turned her back and was surprised by what happened and shouted.
'Toloong.' Dania's voice that makes both parents jerked and quickly help Halizah. Halizah is 1 week pregnant.
Shortly after, Mirza arrived. The frightened Dania rushed to the room and laid her body. With fear Dania wrote in her diary.
I'm concerned…
But I'm worried that my brother found out that I caused Halizah to faint.
But what I hated the most was that she was pregnant…
I'm supposed to be entitled to a child from Sister Mirza…
But that's impossible…
Such is the content of Dania's writing written with a gloomy face as the one who wrote not himself. His face was like an eclipse covered in black fog. His heart was filled with emotion. I don't know what demon possessed a sweet girl as beautiful as Dania.
One day on a bright tomorrow, opens up new horizons with joy. Today Dania is going to apply for a job with her old friend. At home, Halizah was pregnant and unable to do homework. Eventually Mirza took a leave of absence and carried out tasks that should have belonged to Halizah.
Mirza washes, mops, sweeps and cleanses. Mirza's in Dania's room. The atmosphere of the room seemed quiet. There was a fan that forgot to turn off. Mirza turned off the fan. Then Mirza's eyes were fixed on the thick book located on the MakeUp table.
Without a second thought, Mirza curiously picked up the book and then sat down on the bed. Slowly and casually, Mirza opened the book slowly. The green book was written 'My Diary' on the cover of the book.
Mirza just opened the sheets per sheet of the book casually. Read the book with a normal expression. Mirza was surprised when she read the part that showed that she liked him.
'Is that what I see?' mirza was surprised. Mirza became interested in the book and read it. One by one he opened and understood. Mirza arrived on the last page. Mirza was also widened when reading the writing
I'm concerned…
Not Worrying about Halizah…
But worried that my brother found out that it was me who had caused Halizah to faint…
But what I hated the most was that she was pregnant…
I should have deserved a child from my brother…
But that's impossible…
Mirza's eyes changed and her heart was racing. Irregular breathing with his blood swish rising signaled Mirza's emotions began to come out. Mirza's hands clasped very tightly and lifted her up slowly.
NO…!!! the sound of Mirza's hand that she clapped towards the MakeUp table and made her right hand bleed. The pain he could not feel because he was enveloped in his emotions.
'I didn't think..You can do this artificial perrr.. Dddania.' said Mirza stammeringly because she was being possessed by demons.
The afternoon has arrived. Dania came home with a happy looking face because she had gotten a job. When Dania got home, she was surprised because the lights were still off as usual. Dania came in rather nervously.
'Assalamu'alaikuuum.' said Dania softly. But apparently there is no answer. Without him realizing it turns out he has been awaited by Mirza in the middle of the darkness of the living room.
Surprisingly, Mirza immediately got up and took a quick step that took Dania by surprise.
PLAQUE…!!! mirza's slap sounds without saying a word.
'Douh.' said Dania spontaneously followed by her tears. Dania's crying was unstoppable again. Her heartwarming sobs made Dania's sweet cheeks look not funny anymore.
'A..I'm wrong What are you…?' dania asked sobbing. With no pause, Mirza immediately replied without waiting for Dania to finish her words.
'What did you say…??!! You're wrong a lot…!! You're wrong to love me…! And what I hate most about you, you made my wife suffer…!!' snapped Mirza who made Halizah and Mirza's parents out. They were all shocked by the event. Mirza's surprised mother immediately ran to save Dania and took her away from Mirza while saying
'Yes Allah Mir…!! What the hell is going on…?' his mother asked a little loudly while hugging Dania and stroking Dania's head which was lying on the floor and leaning against the wall.
'Mother should not defend a woman like this…!!! She did not deserve pity' Mirza snapped at her mother while pointing at Dania who was still crying sobbing. His father was silent to witness this incident. Halizah is like that.
'What the fuck are you Mir…? Just this first time I saw Mom's son yelling at Dania. What exactly happened Mir…?' mother asked with a face that looked sad while fighting Mirza's face that looked very dark.
'Dania liked me. Own sister…!! And worse, it was he who made Halizah suffer…!!' said Mirza who is still with a rough clash.
'Stop it baby, that's not true.' Halizah denied by crying.
'How can you say all this Mir…? What base?' ask her father in a tone like a parent.
'I read this all from Dania's diary.' Mirza replied firmly. Then Dania dared to speak.
'I'm so glad you opened it. That is my privacy, said Dania while wiping her tears.
'Shut up you fucking girl!!' mirza once again. Everyone was surprised by Mirza's words. Dania was crying again. With tears Dania spoke
'Why don't you just kill me brother? I would rather die than my heart being hurt.' said Dania who was still in tears.
'All right if that's what you want…!! I hope that the life-revoking angel comes here and grants your wish!!' mirza's word is getting rough.
'Husshhh.. Your words are guarded son.' pinta his mother. Mirza said Istighfar.
'Stop all this Mirza. Why don't you? He loves you too it's not his fault' Halizah asked Mirza. Mirza only looked down upon his wife's words.
'Sister Halizah, I'm sorry for everything I did.' Dania told Halizah.
'Before you apologize, I forgive you, Dik.' replied Halizah gently while crying haru.
'Love is evil. Why was I born in this world feeling this way. If you know this I hope never born in the world' said Dania with a definite tone. Hearing that phrase Mirza recalled her past as she wished for Dania to descend into the world. Mirza began to shed tears by bending her head.
'I'm sorry Dik.. I'm sorry I hurt you. I know I prayed to get a Brother like you. It's all because of my loneliness. But now I wasted you. Once again forgive me Dik…' pinta Mirza on Dania while approaching Dania and bowing her knees apologizing.
'Yes brother, I still don't understand whose fault this is. Why would God give me this feeling? It's either Sister Mirza who loves me too much, or is it my fault that I love my own sister?' asked Dania confused who was still burdened with her own question.
'It is not the fault of God who has given love. Because love is beautiful, ' Mirza answered while hugging her beloved sister and mother.
The crying began to subside. The storm clouds disappeared from their heads. Halizah cried but smiled at this event. His father, who was a little teary-eyed and entered the room. Dania wiped her tears and began to rise slowly which helped her mother stand up.
'Alright Brother, from now on I will erase the love that has been embedded for so long. I will try even though it is heavy and painful, said Dania sadly.
'Forgive Big Brother who has made you hurt Dik. Sister promised to treat your pain until it is completely healed' comforted Mirza to Dania while she stood up.
'How's it going, brother? The heartache had no cure.' asked Dania with a surprised face. His mother was just astonished. Halizah wants to talk.
'There is one Dik, the medicine for heartache is to love the person who has been hurt also his heart.' said Halizah softly.
'Sister will try to find for you Dik.' said Mirza to make up for his mistake.
'It's not that easy, sister.Many times men come to me to offer themselves, but I refuse in vain. Just because I love you sister.' said Dania make it difficult for her brother.
'Your love is forbidden, you must point your love arrow at the right person. For sure I promise to treat your heartache Dik.' entertain Mirza once again that makes Dania smile and followed by Halizah and her mother who joined in smiling.
'Brother promise?' asked Dania who looked rather happy.
'I've never lied to you' Mirza replied convincingly. Dania ran towards Mirza and hugged Mirza tightly. Mirza was confused between returning the hug or not. Mirza looked at his wife.
Halizah just nodded her head with a smile. Mirza returned the hug and smiled. Mirza's mother, who was unable to see this incident, entered the room.
I love you Brother…
It's not the wrong love anymore…
Love is like a sister to her brother…
Such was the end of Diary Dania which became the conclusion of her Diary story. And finally a few years later Dania married a better man than Mirza. Of course Mirza is looking for a man who deserves his beloved sister.
A few years later, Dania was blessed with a boy with a face similar to Mirza. How happy Dania will now live a new life with her new family.
