The End of My First Love
115. Bereft
Santi put her phone on the living room table, and she wanted to see if her husband Hidayat was still in the living room. Hidayat was not there. "Maybe he's praying in the mosque again" Santi thought. "Ah yes I also want to pray first will already enter the prayer time Isya," muttered Santi who went straight to the bathroom to take the water. And it turns out that right after ablution, Santi went straight to the mosque and there was Hidayat who was praying. So Santi quickly put on his face and joined the berma'mum to Hidayat.
Time shows almost 12 pm, all residents of the house have entered their respective rooms. Except for Santi, he was checking all the doors if they were locked properly. And when Santi finished locking the main door located in the living room, hp Santi again rang. "Who chats the nights like this, ouh maybe important times so sent the nights," guess Santi. And after seeing the chat from WA, it turned out from Jaswari again.
\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=
"San, ask for his prayers well, my wife has just died, it was to improve her condition but not long after that her condition was back and could not be helped again," Jaswari said in a chat.
"Innalillahi wainnailahi Rajiuun may the late Husnul Khotimah, you are patient and sincere yes Jas, maybe this is the best for almahumah," Santi comforted.
"Yes San, thank you for the prayer" replied Jaswari.
after that there was no more chat from Jaswari, the chat ended.
And not long ago Santi got the news of the death of Jaswari's wife from Jaswari himself, in the alumni gruop of Tsanawiyah school, the news was conveyed by Nurul.
\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=
"Assalamualaikum friends all, there is a sad news from one of our friends, Jaswari, just passed away his wife. Please pray yes themes friends, hopefully almarhumah husnul khotimah and accepted charity worship," Nurul said in a chat in gruop.
One by one the people who have d gruop alumni also expressed their condolences to Jaswari. Santi, who was still shocked by the news, only read the message that went to the gruop, Santi himself had not commented on the gruop. After a long period of silence in sitting, Santi finally went to the bedroom to rest his body which was very tired. Plus the news tonight is so unexpected.

A few days after the news of the death of Jaswari's wife, Santi was active as usual. Santi will initially call or chat Jaswari, but then Santi thinks again he will give Jaswari time to be able to accept what happened sincerely. So Santi never sent a chat to Jaswari to ask about her condition. If to just ask the condition of Jaswari, Santi simply ask friends whose house is close to Jaswari. That's enough for Santi, because when we lose someone meaningful, we need space to be alone first.
This morning was very bright, as usual busy on Monday always makes Santi busy taking care of his three children. Yes the three children Santi already at school so Santi must help the three of them to prepare to go to school. And now that it has been shown at 7 am, the two girls Santi went to school, Shidddiq who has not left. He was having breakfast first, then just went to school. Because the distance of the school is close to home so Shiddiq has dared to go alone. "Ummi, I've finished eating already full," exclaimed Shiddiq from the living room. "It was finished eating Diq" said Santi who appeared from the kitchen. "Not yet, just a little more" said Shiddiq. "Well, why not spend it, dear" said Santi. "Don't want Ummi to be full" replied Shiddiq. Santi shook his head to look at his son's behavior. "Yes already if so drink first continue to go to school," said Santi.
After Shiddiq left for school, Santi continued cleaning the house. And there is still another one that has not left the house, namely Hidayat. Yes Hidayat himself is now in the bathroom. After half an hour, Santi finally finished tidying up the kitchen and sweeping the house. To relieve fatigue, Santi rested for a while while making a warm tea. "Ah rest first, say pegel nih," muttered Santi. Again lying in the living room chair, Hidayat appeared and was neat with a dark blue shirt and trousers. "Eh mas, it's finished, the shower, not squirming out earlier," said Santi. "Certainly do not squirm the person you were just now engrossed in the living room," said Hidayat. "Ouh hehee," Santi grinned. "Well on leaving all the kids?" ask Hidayat. "Udah mas," replied Santi.
Soon after, Hidayat left for the office on a motorbike. After feeling enough, Santi continued his activities. Now he wants to wash clothes upstairs. "Come Santi spirit mumpung still morning not hot, later if it's hot must be bathing sweat hyhihi," said Santi laughs himself.

Now show at 10 am, the housework is done all. Santi was in the living room lying on a long sofa. "The work is done, now rest first take a check hp who knows there is an incoming message," said Santi. Santi also immediately opened his cellphone which had been held earlier. And it turns out there were some WA messages from his friends. One of them is from Uus.
\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=
"San, how has there been news or not from Jaswari," asked Uus in his chat.
Santi read chatan from Uus just grinned not directly in reply. Another chat from Tila
\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=
"Assalamualaikum San, when will you go back to Sukabumi again? if you want to go home later tell you yes, if I happen to be in Parungkuda will be able to meet," chat from Tila.
"Waalaikumussalam La, do not know when to go home again, but yes later if you want to Sukabumi I'm sure to say," Santi directly reply chat Tila.
reply chat Uus
"Yes anyway, most also later if it's been mengingan must ngecat to you deh San, hehee" Uus response directly chat Santi.
"You are sooty..." Santi laughs read the chat Uus.
"Not Sotoy San, but indeed he if to vent like just as you dare," chat from Uus.
"And his friend Jaswari a lot of Us, maybe a friend at his school where no one is close to him, it could be," Santi reply chat.
"It could be like that too, but I'm sure he'll be talking to you later, hehee.." New laugh.
Santi sends an emot, and the chat ends
Not long after replying to a chat from Uus, there was a new message coming in, and it was from Jaswari.
\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=
"Assalamualaikum San, not busy anymore?" that's chat Jaswari.
"Waalaikumussalam Jas, again relax really, why?" Santi immediately replied and asked back.
"Why-nothing, just want to do a little bit with you," Jaswari replied to her chat.
"What do you want? if I can answer yes later I will answer but if I can not ask Mr. Ustadz first," replied Santi.
"On the pilgrimage of the grave, usually if we pilgrimage what the hell we read," asked Jaswari.
"If I personally go to the grave of my Mamah, usually I pray in my own language do not use reading, most I read the prayer for the corpse that likes to be read in the prayer of the corpse, the prayer of the corpse, only the long one," replied Santi.
"Oh yeah, never read anything just that?" Jaswari nanya again make sure.
"Yes Jas, but if you want to be sure later I go to Ustadz Yana who used to study in my family, let you also calm down," Santi explained.
"Okay, thank you San, I also want to ask my wife doain let her Husnul Khotimah, and sorry I always ngerepotin you," chat from Jaswari again.
"Yes Jas, I must doain your wife, may Husnul Khotimah and his charity be accepted by Allah SWT, Aamiin..."Santi gave a reply.
"Aamiin.." replied Jaswari.
No more chat, the chat is over.
When we have desires and hopes, they are not necessarily manifested by God. Like Santi and Jaswari, they have a desire to share their grief in the shade of a sacred bond. But God wills another, God has a way to unite them both in a bond of friendship. And until they are both married even until now they remain good friends to help each other. And that is the beauty of friendship.
Finished
