The Repentance of the Mafia

Past times

10 Years Later

"It's at the terminal, father, mother. Wake up... Wake up...!" shouted a kernek with his spirit. Wake passengers who choose to sleep during the trip, which takes place at night that day.

"Ooh.... Arrived!" cursed a young man, rubbing his eyes. After he felt his life had been gathered all together. He highlighted the bus he was riding, with occasional yawns. Passengers were seen getting off the bus, except for the passenger next to him, who was still asleep with his hands folded over his chest.

"Sir, Mr. Ustadz wake up...!" the young man gently shook the arm of the man sitting next to him. But, the man still showed no signs of waking up. "Sir, Mr. Ustadz Samsul, get up sir, we're at the terminal!" yell at the man again in a louder voice.

The man named Samsul woke up, who was none other than Samuel. "Oowww.. Has it arrived yet?" he said kindly, he glanced around by stretching his body. Samuel also seemed to yawn several times.

"Sir, if you want to go quickly to the village X. There's a transport trip at 7 am sir.'' It was clear that the young man was Samuel, who had now changed his name to Samsul.

Samuel couldn't sleep on the road all night, having talked to his best friend on the bus. At the last rest area of the bus stop, Samuel Still had time to perform prayer. After that the bus went back. And he finally fell asleep.

" Yes deck, thank you!" samuel was kind to the young man next to him.

"Yes Mr. Ustadz."

"I'm not an ustadz deck!" sela Samuel fast.

The young man with a faint smile looked at Samuel who seemed confused said ustadz.

"Just this time, I saw that Mr. Ustadz did not want to be called ustadz."

"I'm not Ustadz Deck." Samuel again firmly.

"Yes, I'm fine with you first, Mr. Ustadz." The young man passed Samuel. Samuel gave the man access.

"What people are on the side, all are called Ustadz." He said himself with his confused face. Samuel got off the bus.

Recorded already in history, the trial of the crime of a high-class mafia lasted briefly and calmly. So the trial was less challenging. The media wanted to see a fierce fight from Samuel. It turned out that he was more silent and admitted all the criminal charges against him. His cooperative attitude, honest admitting wrong made him only sentenced to 10 years in prison.

For 10 years in prison. Samuel shut himself off from the outside world, completely focused on serving his sentence. And do penance, by repentance. In fact he refused to meet his grandmother and Ishmael and his men who were still loyal to him. Samuel's remaining possessions he forgave, and he divided among the dhuafa.

Since Samuel was sentenced to 10 years in prison, he never again wanted to be covered by the media. He did not even want to know about Hisya's life, his grandmother and Ishmael. He did it, because he didn't want to be hurt. He loved Nisha, and thought Ishmael was his son. But, after learning the fact that Hisya really has become Fredy's wife. He also closed the story of Nisha and Ishmael.

Samuel was truly guided by Allah SWT. His heart is very passionate about embracing Islam. In prison as well, he was already a BKM mosque. He is also believed to be a preacher during Friday prayers and as a speaker on various occasions. But, he did not want to be called as ustadz. Although his appearance is now like a kiyai, Samuel prefers to wear a robe and turban. Although sometimes wearing a koko shirt and lobe. What a total transformation. From mafia to priest.

Huuff...

10 Years ago, he crossed this river with Hisya, Ishmael and his grandmother to the city. When he arrived in the city, he was arrested by police. And now, he's back in this village. He will enter again into the forest, continue to live in the residence of the grandmother and Hisya.

Samuel will live in the forest. He no longer wants to live in a crowd full of drama. For the rest of his life, he will worship God. And according to him, returning to the forest, is a happy thing. He will remember the good times of his life with Hisya, his grandmother and Ishmael in the forest. Can't have Nisha and Ishmael. At least, he could remember the good memories with them back then, in the hut they had occupied in the forest 10 years ago.

"Bismilahbornrahmanirrahim....!"

The man's mouth always recites a good sentence, every time he wants to do something. Samuel began to roll his pants, he would cross the river into the forest. 10 years passed apparently, there was not much change in the village. There is no bridge connecting the village to the garden. Thank goodness the river receded, so that the pants that Samuel rolled were not wet. The river that he crossed was just above the knee.

Samuel was very confident to continue living in the forest. Because, he believes the grandmother's house in the forest must have collapsed and decayed, because it has long been abandoned. Samuel was sure, Hisya, his grandmother and Ishmael had lived happily with Fredy.

Along the way, his memories with Hisya continued to fill Samuel's mind. Which makes him sad. It's hard to forget that woman. It was too much of a sin he committed against the woman. Wanting to apologize in person, it was impossible to happen, as he did not want to disturb His life. Moreover, the last news he heard from his grandmother that Nisya had amnesia.

He ruined the woman's life. She's ruthless.

"Aarrghhkk....!" Samuel was angry at himself. Why was he so evil. Killing humans is like killing mosquitoes.

And his treatment of Nisha was also cruel. This is what he used to think, Fredy's brother. He stained brutally. Even in a critical state the woman's body was thrown into the abyss of the forest, at her command to her men.

He was sure, Hisya amnesia while in the forest living with him and grandmother, Because of his actions. pantes only, Nisya did not recognize him at that time. Because Nisha is Amnesia.

"Evil.... Oh Allah.... Forgive me...!" he screamed in the forest. Samuel was like a madman in the wilderness. His aggressive behavior made some animals respond to his screams. There were sounds of monkeys, insects and birds around him at this time.

"Missy.... I'm sorry....!" shouted again.

"Hey... Are people....?"

Instantly Samuel turned his neck to the origin of the voice. He hears human voices.

"Is that person there. Help me sir.. Bang...!" the voice became clearer, and Samuel turned over the branches that were blocking his way, to the origin of the sound.

And...

Both of his eyes bought to see the apparition before him.
