Whatever
20 LOVE IN THE QUR'AN
“Then which favor of your Lord do you deny”.
Tok, Tok, Tok …
The sound of knocking on the door broke the silence of the room. Alan and Mira turned their heads to the source of the sound, it turned out to be Via and Nia.
“Abaang,” Shouted Via while running a small approach to Alan then scattered his body to Alan's body.
“Mira, how are you doing, baby?” Nia said while kissing and hugging Mira warmly. He seems very worried about Mira.
“Mira has improved, bu.” Mira smiled so sweetly.
“Kak Mira cepet healed well. Continue to play at home Via.” Via, who is still in Alan's arms.
“Iya deck, later sister play to the house Via.” Reply Mira.
For a moment Alan and Mira looked at each other thinking about their previous conversation. Suddenly the knock on the door was heard again, followed by the presence of Indra with Sharifah, and both parents Mira.
“Bapak. Mother.” Mira.
A middle-aged woman immediately hugged and kissed Mira who was still lying on the patient's bed.
Rahmi, Mira's mother looks very worried about the state of her daughter, she seems to have just cried, it is visible from her red eyes. Syarifah was no less sad to see the situation of his grandson who had worried all night.
While Rahman, his father Mira suddenly pats Alan on the shoulder. Alan is shocked and intends to greet his father Mira. But, his gaze was empty, he felt around to approach his son. After seeing the situation, Alan understood, it turned out that Rahman could not see.
The cry of one family was broken considering the departure of Nadia who had become the backbone of the family. Alan's eyes glazed over at the cries of the Mira family.
He felt guilty that all this time continued to harbor hatred for Nadia. Indra patted Alan on the shoulder trying to calm his nephew down. Likewise with Nia who is no less touched by the state of the Mira family.
“Alan is evil, mah.” Said Alan. Nia hugged her son.
“Alan selfish, Alan hypocritical.” Added Alan in Nia's arms. He looks pretty hit.
“You can't say that. At least you tried, and managed to save Mira. Nadia must understand.” Nia tried to keep her son calm.
“What should Alan do, mah?” Said Alan.
“Do what you have to do. Don't you torture your feelings anymore.” Alan suddenly remembers Nadia's last message on the way to the hospital.
“I know you love Mira so much. I'm asking you, please take good care of Mira.”
“He hasn't answered, mah.” Alan looked at his mother.
“Mamah is proud of you. You dare to say it.” She smiled at Alan.
“Abang,” Via hugging her brother who looks to be holding back tears. Alan wiped his tears that had not yet fallen. They watched the moment before them.
The afternoon is almost over. Adzan dzuhur has just finished. The weather was still so clear, there was no sign of rain. The light blue sky color is like an endless stretch of sea. Mira still seems to chat with both parents and Yogi, her younger brother.
Alan had already changed his clothes with the clothes that Nia had brought from home. Her stomach was also treated by nurses at the hospital. The incision wound on his abdomen was not so severe, so there was no special treatment.
“Om. Mba Zula same Alwi not here?” Said Alan to Indra who was sitting on the sofa of the room.
“They will be here with Alin. You see Alin has to go to college first.” Alan nodded, understand.
“Kalo is not jammed, it should be soon also until.” Added Indra.
Suddenly two nurses entered Mira's room with lunch and medicine to take that afternoon. Quickly, one of the nurses checked on Mira's development. From a distance Mira appears limp to rise from her position, seeing that Alan rushed to Mira to help her.
“The patient's condition has improved enough. Possibly, later afternoon or tomorrow wife, mas already can go home.” It was the nurse who had just checked.
Alan was stunned to hear the nurse's words. So does Mira who looks wrong. While Indra and Nia from a distance can be seen smiling.
“This is a medicine to be taken this afternoon. May it heal quickly.” After giving food and medicine, the two nurses left the room.
“Thanks, mba.” Said Alan. Rahmi looked at Alan with a smile.
“Sini let mom bribe,” Nia approached Mira who is still limp.
“Sama-sama, ma. Mira's a good boy. Time Via treated she also likes bribe my son.” Clearly Nia recalled the time Via was treated. Rahmi smiled hearing that, while gently pinched Via's cheek.
“This is mom's son?” Rahmi said to Nia who was feeding Mira.
“Iya. He's my eldest son, ma'am.” Answer Nia.
“What's your name, son?” Ask Alan.
“Alan, Bu.” Mira looked at Alan.
“Oh, so this is Alan you often understand?” Tukas Rahman's. Mira blushed to hear her father's words. Alan just kept quiet as he glanced towards Mira.
“Oh, Mira often stories about Alan?” Nia.
“Yes, he said Alan was a fierce guy, funny, but good.” Alan was misbehaved by Rahman's remarks.
It turns out that Mira often talks about Alan to her father.
“Father,” Said Mira grumbling at her father. Rahman smiled as he stroked his daughter's hand.
“Compared to her brother who is always busy, Mira often told me many things, but only the first time she told me about men.” Added Rahman. Mira was silent. Alan looked at Mira's face that blushed because of her father's words. Nia looked at Alan meaningfully.
“Bapak. Mother. Sorry if all this time Alan has been a lot of trouble for the family of father and mother. In accordance with Nadia's last message to Alan, if Father and Mother allow, Alan intends to marry Mira.” Said Alan with confidence. Rahmi looks to rub her eyes.
“It was very good, son. But the father and mother are only parents who can justify their children. Who will run is Mira, if she is happy and willing, father and mother will also receive it.” Reply Rahman while continuing to stroke his daughter's hand.
Rahmi looked at Mira with a sense of haru. So did Alan who had been waiting for an answer from Mira.
“Mira happy if dad same mom happy. But, while in bandung, Mira was treated to the same grandmother who already cared a lot about Mira. So, Mira wants to hear the opinion of grandma.” Mira said while looking at Sharifah, people other than Nadia who is always there for Mira.
Syarifah looked at Alan, “Nak Alan can teach?” Syarifah.
“Alhamdulillah can, grandma.” Answer Alan.
“Grandma can hear you read Ar-Rahman's letter?” Alan nodded.
Sharifah gave him a Qur’an which he brought from home. That's Al-Qur’an Mira's. Seeing that Mira was a little surprised. Then, Alan solemnly read verse by verse the letter of Ar-Rahman.
“Ar-rohmaan, ‘allamal-qur’a ..”
Everyone listened intently. Nia looked at her son with full force. Mira glanced at the young man beside her, she recalled the first time she met Alan at this hospital.
Alan arrived at the end of the verse, suddenly he stopped looking at a piece of paper with the words “MAS ALAN, WILL YOU BE IMAM KU.” Alan was silent for a few seconds looking at the writing. Nia was surprised, then hugged Mira. Mira blushed.
“Solve your reading first,” Syarifah said. Alan continued reading until it was finished.
“This Al-Qur’an Mira. Grandma also just found out, all this time she kept your name in the Qur’an her. If Mira is happy, grandma will be happy too. May you be a good Imam for Mira.” Alan kissed Sharifah's hand with respect. He hugged Rahman. Nia and Rahmi both embrace Mira lovingly.
“Good. As your guardian, Om will take care of everything.” Tukas Indra who had been silent listening to the conversation of the two families.
“Assalamu’alaikum,” It's Alin and Zula. All answered Alin's greeting almost simultaneously.
“What did Alin miss? Ko, on cuddling all?” Add Alin while greeting his father's hand, then approach his best friend.
“Alan and Mira are getting married.” Indra answered his daughter.
“Serious?” Alin looked at Mira with a question.
Mira just smiled very sweetly to answer her best friend's question. Then Alin hugged Mira warmly.
By late afternoon, the atmosphere of the room felt very warm. Smiles were everywhere, laughter was heard in every corner of the room. The weather is still so sunny. To maximize Mira's health, they decide to take Mira home tomorrow morning.
Nia and Indra talk seriously with both Mira's parents to determine the date of Alan and Mira's wedding. After a few minutes of serious talk, finally the date is determined two weeks into the future, which is the end of this month.
