The Sacrifice of Nayra

Nayra's Restlessness

Day after day passed, and the month changed. It has not been a month Rama in Singapore. One month is like a century for Rama and Nayra.

But on the sidelines of his busy life, Rama always took the time to make video calls to Nayra and Kyara. By looking at the faces of his favorite wife and daughter even though only through a mobile phone screen, it has been able to treat his longing. Rama usually calls in the morning and at night before going to bed. Yes, in a day Rama usually calls Nayra at least twice.

But that night was not as usual. I don't know why Rama hasn't called Nayra. It was almost midnight. Usually at that hour Rama has called him.

Nayra was still focused in front of the laptop working on her script. Occasionally glimpsed cell phone next to his laptop.

'Why hasn't Mas Rama called me yet?' he murmured in the heart.

Minutes by minutes passed. He glimpsed the clock on his laptop that has shown at half twelve in the night. Nayra was getting restless. He could no longer concentrate on working on his script.

Finally he closed his laptop and decided to call Rama. The cellphone that has been glimpsed so many times. Nayra quickly dialed her husband's number.

Tut's.. Tut's.. Tut's.. (Connecting)

"Why not get lifted? Where are you really going, Mas? Don't scare me!" he muttered with a face full of anxiety.

Nayra tried again many times but still not lifted. Nayra's getting restless. Mind everywhere. Nayra was afraid that something bad would happen to her husband. Without feeling any clear crystals falling from his eye peluruk. Nayra also immediately beristighfar and raised his hand while offering prayers to Allah SWT.

"Oh Allah, protect my husband wherever he is. Give him salvation. Don't let anything bad happen to him.. Aamiin's"

Because his mind was not calm, Nayra decided to take water and read the scriptures. Nayra hoped that by reading the scriptures her heart would feel calmer because her mother had said that the most efficacious heart medicine is to read the Qur'an accompanied by its meaning.

That's right what Ms. Aini said. After reading the Qur'an, Nayra's heart and mind felt calmer. Not as scary as that.

As it was late at night, Nayra decided to go to bed. Nayra laid her body beside Kyara who had been sleeping since. Slowly he let out the little girl's cheek and hugged her.

"Honey. Hope your dad is okay right there! Maybe he fell asleep and didn't have time to call Mama"

Nayra was just thinking good to God. He doesn't want to imagine bad things. Shortly thereafter, he fell asleep in his sleep.

Next morning...

Drrrtt...

Nayra awoke from her sleep as soon as she heard her phone vibrate over the cabinet beside her bed. It immediately reached the phone. Nayra's eyes widened when she saw the words "My Husband" on her phone screen. Immediately Nayra shifted the button and attached the phone to her earlobe.

Nayra: "Assalamu'alaikum Mas. Rama is okay, right? Why didn't you call me last night? I'm so worried about you"

Rama: "Wa'alaikumsalam dear, I'm fine. Don't worry about me! I just fell asleep last night. Maybe because I'm too tired. So I didn't get to call you. It just so happened that my phone was still silent so I didn't hear when you called me"

Rama: "No dear. I'm doing fine. I'm sorry for worrying you!"

Nayra: "Alhamdulillah if you are well. Next time don't forget to call me! Don't worry me anymore!"

Rama: "Yes dear. Again sorry yes! Where's kyara? Is he awake?"

Nayra: "Kyara is still sleeping Mas"

Rama: "Yes, I hung up first! I'll call you back later. Assalamu'alaikum"

Nayra: "Wa'alaikumsalam"

Nayra was relieved after Rama called her. Her worries disappeared after finding out that her husband was okay.
