Episodes 119. Unpleasant Feelings
Day after day passed, Akmal's condition of relying only on drugs got worse even though he always showed everyone that he was healthy but no he could not lie to himself.
At exactly 02.00 am in the early hours of Thursday, Akmal had woken up to perform the tahajud prayer in prayer Akmal shed his tears while enduring the pain.
" O Allah, I only want the Muslim Shubanul team to succeed, even though I am aware that the age of the servant is not long, the servant is increasingly helpless. Verily you are almighty in animating and killing all sentient beings, may the servant die in husnul khotimah.... Aami.. " Akmal in his prayer as he continued to shed his tears in the silent night he dissolved in his sorrow.
Azmi who also woke up was already in the mosque when he slapped his alphabet he saw Akmal who covered his face using both hands. Azmi chose to approach Akmal because she was worried.
" Assalamualaikum mas Akmal, "Azmi sits beside Akmal with a deep gaze.
Seeing Azmi who was already sitting beside him, Akmal immediately wiped his tears and turned his head towards Azmi.
" Akmal why cry? Is anyone sick, mas?" tanya Azmi continued to stare at Akmal with a worried expression.
" No Mi, I don't know, " replied Akmal with a small smile.
" really? So why cry?" Azchem.
" Em, this... I again, "Akmal was at a loss to answer what while scratching his back neck so he found an excuse.
" Mi's problem, I was if I prayed fervently, so it was crying, "Akmal.
" Oooo, that is, yes already mas, I pray tahajud first, " Azmi.
" Yes, "Akmal.
Azmi returned to the place where the beautiful dark blue prayer rug had been empty to perform the tahajud prayer.
