The Wasted Princess

CHAPTER 27. RENO ZAYAN ABIDIN

A feeling of emptiness always filled his days. Ever since he knew Clara, the woman he married 7 years ago, he felt his soul was lost and did not know the way home.

His family and those closest to him only know that he loves the woman so much that he ignores the opinion of Mama Rena who does not like Clara. Reno, the first child of Sutomo Alzein Abidin, was a friendly, loving, hard-working man.

Honey, her love story isn't as beautiful as it looks. Even Reno seemed to harbor pain that he could not express. A year ago, he found out that his wife was teasing his youngest sister, knowing that she often went to clubs with friends who ended up sharing sweat in hotels. Not that he wouldn't punish or teach Clara a lesson. In his heart he was very angry, but no matter what really happened, when faced with Clara he became weak, unable to get angry, there he just always said 'Yes' with all his wife's requests.

To be honest he wanted to complain and tell what he felt to his family. But for some reason, his mouth felt like it was sewn into nothing to say.

Realizing that something was wrong with her, she simply tried to get closer to the Creator.

Every night is never missed for tahajud prayer, istikhoroh prayer, or anything that can appease his soul.

"Ma, Mum... Reno decided to take care of the branch in Surabaya, all Clara said wanted to be close to her family" Reno said at the time to both parents.

All are just excuses, for there is indeed a part of his soul that leads him to that city.

Although his soul is like a prisoner, but in a reasonable way sometimes he is still aware that clara has been dredging his property and Reno himself can not say 'no'.

He entrusted all the assets he had to Papa Tomo indirectly, because all the valuables he only put in the drawer of his Papa's work desk, which was not used.

At least if it's still in that house, it won't fall to the wrong person. All he brought was an ATM and a savings book from his salary while working at his papa company. Not to forget he also deactivated his wife's unlimited credit card.

"Are you sure, baby?" mama Rena asked reassuringly.

"God willing Ma, wish Reno all the best. Sorry if Reno can't make you proud" Reno said with dewy eyes.

"Definitely dear, but we meet often. Mama is not used to being away from your children" said Mama Rena reassured.

"Mama take it easy, Reno will definitely take the time" said Reno then hugged both parents.

Clara did not even want to leave when they were going to Surabaya.

The first place Reno wants to visit after arriving in Surabaya is the house of Zainal Abidin and Melina, whom he calls Papi and Mami.

After a short break in the apartment, Reno immediately slid into the residence of his father's sister. Clara doesn't know where she is, she's really like a hornbill.

"Assalamu..." He said when he saw the owner of the house was nyore on the front porch.

"Wa alaikum salam.." replied Mami Meli.

"Reno... Mami kangen's. How can you not come to come? Alone already? Which wife?" ask Mommy

"Zahra where's Mi?" instead of answering Mami's question, Reno asked her favorite little sister.

Since her marriage to Clara, she's been lost without a trace. Change the contact number, never active on sosmed. Even in the family group, he did not come in.

When Reno got married, Zahra was only 18 years old, just finished high school. Mami once said that Zahra wanted to devote herself to being a teacher after college.

"Zahra only comes back here on Saturday Ren week... After being accepted as PNS 2 years ago, he was assigned in the xx area, a bit far if you have to move." replied Mami.

There's a sense of disappointment not being able to meet his little gadia.

"When Reno Kangen is Mi. Lagian Rara change the number to tell Reno the Mi. If you meet the family, you never come too. Rara has forgotten Mi same Reno?" tanya Reno excited.

Mami Meli actually knew the reason Zahra was avoiding Reno, only that she didn't want to tell everyone. Because actually Zahra never told his adoptive family.

"Later you call yourself, yes, Mami will send the number. But don't tell me Mami told you, ok!"

"Kc... Why the hell Mi, is there someone who closed in from Reno?"

"What would you like to close, Ren. Don't you cover something up. Ngaku hayo! You don't seem happy!" cecar Mami makes Reno tick.

"Eh, Ren! When's come? Been long? How alone?" this time the Papi came while holding a bird cage and its contents.

"Lumayan. But Reno thirsty om, from earlier not offered a drink, hehe...!"

"Nylonong is also aja. Yes, yuk, come in. Have you eaten yet?"

"Not yet Mi, deliberately here want to hitchhike. Kangen Mami's cooking."

"Kc... Don't make excuses. It wasn't dimasakin bini, was it?"

Reno just grinned.

That day Reno slipped from the shackles of her life when she decided to stay at Mami's house and sleep in Zahra's room. Reno picks up her phone and opens the green app and sends a message.

"Zahra, my little girl... I Miss You.." message sent.

Reno waited for her message to be countered while rolling around. Almost an hour, even the message is still a grey tick.

Reno got out of bed, idly opened and looked at the contents of Zahra's room. At least I can find his latest photo.

"Ck, you are so careless, put the documents carelessly." said Reno when he found SK and other files on the table, "So you taught there? Dapet, you can't dodge anymore!"

Reno pulls the drawer intending to put the file in it, but she instead finds a small book in soft pink. "What is this old book? Ra, can you see? I have permission. So don't be mad!"

In the book, it turns out that there was a lot of Zahra during her teenage years. "Busyet, my grandfather turned out to be an idol too huh, hahahaha...! But the pity of the many men who expressed his feelings, nothing caught his attention."

Then Zahra was on a conversation about a guy she seemed to really like.

Dear diary,

Brother is more handsome, you can not hope someday you who become a priest of mine is a place to be in a place that is a place to be

Next sheet

Diary, I'm sad... Tenyata Brother already has a lover.

It's okay, I'm self-conscious. Loving you is like being in a dream. I'll make the best.

It was all about the man he called brother, but he didn't mention his name. Go to the last sheet...

Dear diary,

It turns out that releasing the right person in the heart is not easy. Today she officially belongs to someone, and eventually my hope will never come true.

I still hope that in the next life, we can match. Love you Bang's...

Sorry if Zahramu left. Be happy.

Sorry diary I won't be writing again, thanks so*me*so where I've been sharing all this time.

Reno sees Zahra's last date of writing the diary as exactly the same as her wedding day.

"So, all this time Zahra... Gee whiz... Why I just found out. You idiot!" Reno monologue.

Trings... Notification of incoming messages to his phone.

"Falem Bang... How are you?" reply Zahra, he knew the message from Reno, because the words only Reno ever said.

"Abang ga well Ra... Can you video call?"

No answer, but the message is blue ticked.

No wait any longer Reno immediately press the video call button.

"Assalamu aleikum Abang." his voice was soft and melodious. Plastered on the screen, the face of ayu whose head was covered with hijab. His white face was like shining, looking more and more mature.

"Wa alaikum salam. My God turned out to be an angel. How are you, dear? Don't you miss Brother?"

"No... You can't miss someone's husband. Later Zahra was hit again." although slowly, but Zahra's speech was able to make Reno's smile expand.

"But Brother Kangen, how's dong?"

Zahra did not answer.

"Where is it? How's it foreign?"

Reno directs the camera.

"Ih... Brother in Zahra's room?"

"Kan Abang said kangen, wanted to hug the person no, yes already, nih, hug the bolsters." said reno while insisting on sleep hugging the bolsters.

Since then they have been communicating again. However, Zahra is still difficult to meet. While Reno can only resignedly not want to force, but he still watches him without Zahra's knowledge.

*****

Almost a year Reno in Surabaya, his mind was more open, especially when he decided to study at the boarding school, where Zahra also often followed studies to fill his free time.

Reno accidentally meets an ustadz in person for direct consultation.

"Asalamau alaikum Ustadz... Sorry, interrupting the time."

"Wa alaikum salam sir, no problem. We were even happy to get a visit directly from the permanent donors of this pesantren. Don't hesitate, just tell me if there's anything we can help you with."

"Look at tadz...." Reno also told me the problem in detail. Not intended to indulge in disgrace, but telling the right family problem should be to the right person, who can improve and give advice objectively right?

"Have you experienced that for a long time?"

"It's been 7 more years Mr. ustadz..."

"Look sir, it's good that we meet Mr. Kyai directly. I am still afraid of guessing wrongly. Because what I caught from the story of the Father, now Mr. Reno is under the influence of witchcraft, more precisely hit by pellets. And something like this does exist, it includes witchcraft which in Islam itself is strictly prohibited." explained pak ustadz at length.

" The Prophet once said:

“Save the seven things that hurt” He was asked, “O Messenger of Allah! What are those seven things?” He said, “(i.e.) God's curse, magic, killing people forbidden by God unless there is a justified reason, eating usury, eating the property of orphans, run away from the battlefield and accuse adultery against good women who guard her honor and faith.” (CHR. Muslim)

"Well ustadz, when can I see him?"

"Just tell me, I'll tell you again. Because currently Pak Kyai is not in place. Or it's good if Mr. Reno does his own ruqyah, the way :

Take ablution water with the intention of purifying yourself.

Begging Allah for forgiveness and reading Istighfar.

Lay your body with straight hands and feet. Make sure your position is comfortable to facilitate the ruqyah process.

Close your eyes while preparing.

Read the letters of Al-Ikhlas, Al-Falaq, and An-Nas 3x each.

After that, set the murotal Quran and ruqyah reading in the form of cassettes or YouTube videos.

Finish the ruqyah process to the end. Strange reactions may occur, such as pain in certain parts, a feeling of heat and burning, shock, or cold.

The process of ruqyah can be ended by drinking mineral water that has been recited Quranic verses and ruqyah prayer.

Can you understand, sir? "

"God willing I will try ustadz, then excuse me. Thank you so much for your time. If you can keep me informed when can I sowan with ndalem?"

"Of course, sir."

Relieved, that's how Reno feels, when what we've been saving for years we can finally reveal to someone.

TBC...
