The Impossible, Becoming Possible
PART 20'S
After lunch, Novita and Isma were sitting under the tree as usual, when Novita suddenly saw a sight that made Novita hurt, he saw Fikri joking with Rifda.....
“Sabar Nov,” says Isma.
Novita immediately left Isma, because Novita was upset to see it all, honestly according to Novita forgetting Fikri is very difficult. Novita went to the back garden, before long Reyhan approached Novita with a flower....
“Assalamualaikum,” said Reyhan smiling.
“Wassalamu’alaikum,” said Novita.
“Nih I have something for you,” Reyhan said giving a flower.
“Hah? This is the flower in the field,” said Novita laughing.
“Yah got caught ya,” said Reyhan scratching his head that does not itch.
Novita smiled, looking at Reyhan's behavior....
“Well donk smile, don't be sad continue,” said Reyhan.
“What the hell, do you know I'm sad or not?” Ask Novita.
“Tau, I'm a guy who doesn't like to see sad girls, what else is a girl crying Just because of guys,” said Reyhan.
“Masa? Everywhere tuh guys who always make girls cry,” said Novita.
“But not all guys are the same, the guy who always makes girls cry means he's the guy who always hurts a mother,” said Reyhan.
“Masa?” Novita.
“It is, According to my experience,” said Reyhan.
“Oh yes, how can you be in this ponpes anyway?” Ask Novita.
“And I told you I was teaching sports lessons,” Reyhan said.
“That?” Novita.
“Iya lah,” said Reyhan.
“Kalo can tell you how he always looks moody anyway?” Ask Reyhan.
Novita was silent and submissive....
“Sory-sory I don't mean to make you sad again, but if you need a friend to vent I'm ready, inshaallah I'm the one who never spread the curses of my friend,” said Reyhan.
“I believe really, but I think this does not need a story,” said Novita.
“It’s ok,” says Reyhan.
According to Novita Reyhan her people are funny, and cool, but Novita does not want to be too trusting in men, because she is afraid Reyhan will hurt her feelings just like what Fikri did....
Evening arrived, when in the room Novita daydreamed, and remembered the incident when together with Fikri, while on the lake, in the hospital, and, and when Fikri talks to kiyai Khalid that Fikri is going to marry Novita, and the words he says when Novita is on his birthday. All of that comes up again in Novita's mind which makes Novita cry again. Fikri promises to come home to meet Novita's parents and propose to Novita, but Fikri's promise is all a lie, Novita sits at the end of her bed, hugging her knees, Isma sees Novita crying and hugs Novita....
“Nov, don't cry anymore,” says Isma calms Novita.
“Is, many times Fikri promise with me,” Novita said in tears.
“But a single promise of nothing is kept, all her sayings came to my mind,” Novita said in tears.
“Iya know, but you do not keep going, it is a danger to your health,” said Isma.
“Is, I've said the same father, same mother, keep me home I want to say what the same mother and father,” said Novita.
Isma immediately fell silent, honestly he was confused what he should do....
“Udah yes now you sleep, tomorrow you will have to teach,” said Isma.
Isma took Novita to sleep in bed, honestly Isma pity to see Novita's condition like this....
This morning Novita tried to smile, he walked to first class, when in the middle of the road Novita met Reyhan...
“Assalamualaikum Ustadzah,” says Reyhan.
“Wassalamu’alaikum,” said Novita.
“You need to teach ya?” Ask Reyhan.
“Iya lah,” said Novita.
“Think what theme today?” Ask Reyhan.
“About Istiqomah,” says Novita.
“Oh so, yaudah I'm sorry yes assalamualaikum,” said Reyhan left.
“Wassalamu’alaikum,” said Novita.
Suddenly Novita meets with Fikri, but Fikri immediately submits, Novita immediately continues his journey....
“Nov, if I can explain everything, I love you, but I can not refuse all of this, sorry I Nov I can not fulfill your promise,” said Inner Fikri.
“Why don't you have me anyway Fik, I hope you invite chat, or that smile,” said Inner Novita.
Not long after Novita arrived at the class, the current state of the class was not too noisy and the students were willing to listen to Novita, only Siti and Rahma who did not want to listen to Novita's words....
“Assalamualaikum all,” says Novita.
“Wassalamu’alaikum,” says all.
“Today our theme about Istiqomah, maybe here not many know what Istiqomah is,” said Novita.
“Istiqomah according to Ali Bin Abi Thalib is an act of performing an obligation. ... An-Nawani means istiqomah as staying in obedience. So Istiqomah itself has the understanding that someone is always in obedience and on the straight path in worshiping Allah SWT,” said Novita.
“While Ibn Abbas interpreted the istiqomah with three meanings, first is the istiqomah with oral with an attitude of defense by reading the shahadah. Then the second is the istiqomah with the heart that is by doing everything with honest intentions. And lastly is an istiqomah with a soul in which someone always performs worship and obedience to God continuously,” said Novita smiled.
Thank God all the students in the class were watching Novita, except Rahma and Siti, but it didn't matter to Novita, but Fikri was secretly watching Novita who was teaching...
But Novita was not aware that he was being noticed by someone, finally Novita continued his lessons again....
“Istiqomah is an Arabic word that is a verb form of the word istaqama which means “upright.” Another form of the word istaqama is mustaqim which is often interpreted as straight, for example in the word “ash-shiratul mustaqim” which is interpreted as “straight path.” In KBBI the word istiqamah is interpreted with a firm stance and always consequent,” said Novita smiled.
“From here it can be understood that istiqomah is a firm stance and ready to accept any risks that result from this attitude. In a sense ready to accept the consequences of attitude choices even though it is sometimes heavy and unpleasant,” said Novita.
Fikri who saw Rahma and Siti's behavior immediately reprimanded them both...
“Rahma, Siti! You notice who is teaching,” said Fikri with a firm tone, Rahma and Siti who heard it also immediately noticed Novita, Novita was shocked by the presence of Fikri.
“Sorry please in further,” says Fikri go.
Novita was daydreaming for a while...
“Ayok ustadzah in continue,” said the santri.
“Ok, an example of Istiqomah in everyday life is, When we are not used to waking up at dawn then commit ourselves to change and want to always wake up at dawn, so Istiqamah here means we must accept the consequences to eliminate laziness, ready to resist sleepiness. And this we have to do every day, not just once then tomorrow it is not done again,” said Novita.
“Another example is when there is a woman who has not previously hijabed or veiled and wants to change by always closing the aurat. So the meaning of Istiqomah in hijab is to accept the consequences to be taunted and even bully friends because of the choice. Not even just friends, there could be relatives or parents angry at the choice. In addition, he must always be consistent to try hijab, not relapses. Now wear hijab, tomorrow no,” said Novita Looking towards all the santri.
“In addition to the two examples above, istiqomah can also be used for love affairs. Istiqomah in love means we accept the consequences of our love and always consistently defend it, but remember we cannot force someone to love us, we may Istiqomah but do not force,” Novita said.
“Because if forced, his ustadz choose a more beautiful girl,” continued Rahma.
Novita just shakes the head....
“Even istiqomah is one of the blessings that God gives for then we are grateful. As in the hadith of the Prophet SAW. The Prophet said:
عَنْ سُفْيَانَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الثَّقَفِيِّ قَالَ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قُلْ لِي فِي الْإِسْلَامِ قَوْلًا لَا أَسْأَلُ عَنْهُ أَحَدًا بَعْدَكَ قَالَ قُلْ آمَنْتُ بِاللَّهِ فَاسْتَقِمْ
From Sufyan ibn Abdulla ats-Tsaqafi, he said: I said, “O Rasull'h, tell me in Islam one word that I will not ask anyone after you!” He replied: “Tell me, ‘aku iman’, then Istiqomah lah,” said Novita smiling.
“Privacy Istiqomah what ustadzah?” Ask one of the students.
Istiqomah is also often interpreted as a consistent practice. Although it is small but when done consistently then it is better, and the third is Avoided from Sadness and Worry
People who are always Istiqomah will avoid sadness and worry. Two flavors that often disturb humans so they do not focus on charity,” said Novita.
“Ok up here understand?” Novita land.
“Paham ustadzah,” says all.
“Ok we are ready for Dzuhur prayer, after that you go to Isma ustadzah room for rote deposit,” said Novita.
“Iya ustadzah,” says all.
“Good ustadzah end assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh,” said Novita go.
“Wassalamu’alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh,” says all.
Novita went to walk to the room to pick up the prayer equipment, when he got to the room, Novita took a mukena and remembered Fikri again, because the mukena was from Fikri, Novita really remembered when he gave this mukena on Novita's birthday, Novita was hugging the mukena while shedding tears, suddenly Isma came....
“Nov ayok, it is time to pray,” said Isma.
“Eh Yes Is,” says Novita.
Novita and Isma walked towards the musholla, after the Dzuhur prayer Novita sat alone under the tree, because Isma was receiving the memorized deposit of the santri. Suddenly Reyhan sat down next to Novita....
“Dream continues? Not good what else under the tree,” said Reyhan.
“No one daydreams,” Novita said.
“Well why?” Ask Reyhan.
“There are no friends to talk to, so yes I just shut up, yes I talk myself rich crazy,” said Novita.
“Eh yes also yes,” says Reyhan.
“Keknya you are less focused,” said Novita laughed.
“Nah also can laugh, can you laugh so beautiful,” said Reyhan.
“What the hell is you,” said Novita smiled.
Inadvertently Fikri and Azka pass by, and see Novita laughing with Reyhan....
“The number is still dear not to be separated now money order right?” Azka quipped Fikri.
“What the hell is you,” said Fikri go.
“Dih, the signs of jealousy are so tuh, even if he loves the same he married the same he is not the same ex,” said Azka.
Fikri meets Rifda who is sitting in the house of kiyai Umar, either Fikri is still thinking about Novita who is laughing with Reyhan....
“Fik, you why?” Rifda Land however Fikri did not reply.
“Fik,” said Rifda patted both her hands late on Fikri's face which made Fikri shocked.
“Eh yes what Nov,” says Fikri.
“Hah? Nov?” Rifda was shocked.
“Hah? I mean Rif,” said Fikri shocked.
“You're thinking Novita?” Ask Rifda.
“No,” says Fikri.
“Aduh Fik, why the hell pack keceplosan everything, will make problems aja,” said Inner Fikri.
“Fik? You are still dumb? Do you really think about Novita?” Ask Rifda.
“Not me much thought,” said Fikri.
“Yakin?” Rifda.
“Iya,” says Fikri.
Evening, Azka saw Fikri sitting in front of the window....
“Fik, why you?” Ask Azka.
“So I got the wrong call, I called Rifda instead called Novita,” said Fikri.
“Well to your proof it is still dear to Novita, it is back again, stay with Rifda, you are clearin,” said Azka.
“It's not that easy,” said Fikri.
“You are well if you are told ngeyel Mulu,” said Azka upset.
Fikri was silent, on the other hand, Novita looked up at the ceiling of her bed while hugging the doll. Novita still remembers when he was with Fikri, really according to Novita forgetting Fikri really already....
“Nov sleep tomorrow there will be a meeting between ustadz and ustadzah,” said Isma.
“Hah? Did ya? How do I not know?” Novita.
“Ya already right now dah or, already sleeping,” said Isma.
“Iya,” says Novita.
In the morning, Novita and Isma headed for the meeting room, in the room there were Azka, Fikri, Rifda, and Reyhan....
“Assalamualaikum all her,” said Fikri.
“Wassalamu’alaikum,” says all.
“We get an invitation from Ponpes Al-Hayat, so we all the santri have to go there, to attend the cult,” said Fikri.
“But the ones who come there, only new santri, so santri who are already in class 2 and class 3 do not come,” said Fikri.
“When to leave?” Ask Isma.
“Today after Dzuhur prayer,” said Fikri.
“Ok,” says all.
“Ok so many of me, I end assalamualaikum,” said Fikri.
“Waalaikumsalam,” says all.
All disbanded, Fikri told all the santri, all the santri also prepared the necessary items, because they will stay 2 nights 1 day, as well as Isma and Novita...
After the Dzuhur prayer all the santri went to Ponpes Al-Hayat, the journey was quite far so the santri fell asleep. About 3 hours they arrived at Ponpes Al-Hayat, before going to ponpes Al-Hayat all the students to the inn that has been provided, which has been provided, the distance between Ponpes Al-Hayat and their lodging is not too far....
“Ok today we rest, tomorrow we present at the event ponpes Al-Hayat,” said Fikri.

“Ustadz can we go to that beach?” Ask one of the students.
“Bby but remember not to get too close to the waves of his danger,” said Fikri.
“Good ustadz,” says all.
“Ayok Nov,” says Isma.
“Where?” Ask Novita.
“Kesana lah saw the scenery rather than seeing people dating,” said Isma.
“Iya also yes, ayok,” said Novita.
Isma and Novita go to the beach area, Isma and Novita ride on the rock while enjoying the waves....
