WHEN I MISS PRAYER

Episode 10 - Missing Flakes

Asthma was immediately rushed to the hospital to get good care from the hospital. Ihsan and Asyam accompanied the two Asthma parents. Asthma still lies weakly with an infusion tube and a breathing tube. And according to the doctor, the condition is indeed weak but not due to an illness. It's just the lack of vitamin consumption and lack of rest the body. Asham and Ihsan took turns to stand guard during the day, as Zulfah's mother came home to prepare the meal to be taken to the Hospital.

Asyam re-entered after he finished performing dawn prayers at a mosque not far from the Asthma outpatient room.

“san, pray first. Let me take care.” Say Asyam while lowering the folds of clothes on his arm.

“well. Later if you realize immediately call a doctor yaa .” Ihsan's Message.

“well, god willing.” Sahut Asham's.

Asyam was seated next to Asthma's bed, a chair that Ihsan had occupied since then. Asham looked again at the face of the girl of his heart who was asleep in his tired and weak. And he also realized that he did not deserve to do something.

“Astaghfirullahal’adzim.”

“yaa Allah, forgive your servant. If it is she whom you have sent as a friend in my life, the Angel in my palace and the Mother of my children. So make it easy and unite us in the sacred bond of marriage, aamiin.” His whisper in his heart.

Asma started to move her finger and frowned, her eyes slightly opened and looked at the figure of her man sitting in wait.

“asma ..” said Asyam.

“asma conscious , sham ?” said Ihsan who just came in.

“Aalhamdulillah's. I'll call the doctor first, syam.” Said Ihsan who rushed out looking for a doctor.

Both of his parents were contacted by Ihsan who reported the state of Asma who was starting to wake up. Now they are waiting in the room with a doctor who is checking the condition of Asthma.

“Alhamdulillah, improving. This afternoon or evening, asthma can return home. Do not forget to take the drug and start a routine to consume vitamins every day yaa.” Doctor Irawati.

“Alhamdulillah, thank you doctor. God willing I follow the doctor's advice to start taking vitamins.” Asthma Vocabulary.

“i'll take care of the drugs and buy the vitamins, doctor.” Saying Hasan's Father.

“please go to the pharmacy for his medicine collection , sir. The recipe has been submitted by me in the pharmacist.” Doctor Say.

“thank you, doctor.”  Saying Hasan's Father.

“then I say goodbye first.” Said Doctor Irawati.

Father, Mother, Ihsan and Asham also approached Asma who was leaning.

“Alhamdulillah , his brother has improved.” Ihsan.

“Alhamdulillah, bang.” Sahut Asthma.

“don't ketapean again yes, dear.” Said Mother Zulfah embracing Asthma.

“iya , mother.” Sahut Asthma.

“bang Asham , Bang Ihsan, thank you for waiting for asthma.” Asthma Vocabulary.

Asyam and Ihsan only replied with a nod of their heads and a smile.

Entering Ramadan last week, the teenagers are preoccupied with the distribution of zakat to the people around the mosque. With the help of data provided by Pak RT , the division was running smoothly and quickly resolved.

Right on the 3rd day before Eid al-Fitr, Asthma was struck with a heart filled with feelings of longing for someone. Restless not to hear from him, restless not to meet him. But if the heart still holds so that the mouth does not speak. As he remembered the message of Ihsan bang which he had considered a kaka by him.

“That the love that is present in your heart is the care of God, when God wills to take it that love will be lost. So when your heart feels longing for someone don't quickly say long. Pray and ask for faith in the longing and love present to wrap your heart. Verily Allah is All-Knowing of what is born (pronounced) or unborn (secret).” Evidently.

One night he woke up as usual, but what he remembered. A cell phone placed on the desk, hoping for a short message to enter the inbox. For a few days now, Asham has not sent him a message.

“why I think about it.” The Asthma in his heart.

His breathing sighed, trying to close his eyes for a moment to calm down. His body got up and stepped towards the bathroom to fetch water. In his night prostration he called the name that now adorns his heart, Asham.

This morning Asma stepped towards the Mosque to carry out Dhuha. Afterwards Asma continued towards the secretariat room and sat on the sofa to read the Qur’an. Coincidentally this morning there was only her in that room. Until finally a man who was walking in the courtyard of the mosque realized that the door would open

youth secretariat. His feet stepped up the stairs and said hello to someone inside.

“assalamu’alaikum.”

“wa’alaikumussalam. Bang ihsan ? what's bang ?” Asma asked who was slightly shocked by Ihsan's presence.

“ngga is nothing. I just wanted a dhuha in the mosque, but I saw this door open so stop by here first.” Evidently.

“mmmh .. some nights this brother likes the mind Asthma.” Ihsan.

“mean brother ?” Ask while turning his head and closing the Quran’annya.

“bang , asthma is getting no idea what your brother said.” Asthma Vocabulary.

“honest! Is there someone who amazes you and feels something different ? is there someone who makes you nervous ? is there someone you miss ?” Asked Bang Ihsan who made Asma bow as if embarrassed and surprised to hear Ihsan's response.

“asma regular aja ko’ bang.” Sahut Asthma.

“asma to be honest with brother or ...”.

“asma express yes bang, assalamu’alaikum.” Selak Asma who disconnected Ihsan's speech and immediately went out of the room down the stairs.

His face looked anxious and his eyeballs twirled around like a confused person. Asma herself did not know what to say to answer Ihsan's question regarding her current feelings. I don't know in what way he can find out about that private and secret.

His feet were getting faster to get to his house. With a greeting, he opened the door and immediately ran up the stairs to the room and remained silent in it. Not wanting lust to control himself, he also berwudhu and back mambaca Al-Qur’an while leaning on a mattress to calm the anxiety that is approaching him.

...*Alladzii na aamanuu watathmainnu quluubuhum bidzikrillah, alaa bidzikrillahi tathmainnul quluub...

...“(i.e.) those who believe and their hearts are at peace with the remembrance of Allah. Remember, it is only by remembering Allah that the heart is at peace*.”...

...QS. Ar Ra’d (13) :28....

Asthma re-thinking the conversation earlier with Ihsan “abang kaya ngerasain something, such as feeling the anxiety of asthma and sadness. “honest ! Is there someone who amazes you and feels something different ? is there someone who makes you nervous every time someone disappears ?”.

Either a miracle or God's will. To the extent that Ihsan could tell what he was feeling. Increasingly become – so the question that arises in the heart of Asthma. He also put the Qur’an that he held and went out of the room to go to the kitchen. He came down the stairs and lowered his body to peek at someone in the kitchen. Meet his mother who is busy cutting vegetables and cooking to welcome the feast day, tomorrow.

“wild asthma help , bun.” He said while holding the knife that was being held by Mother.

“yasalah, mommy wants to prepare the spice first.” Mommy Say.

“ngga perk yes , mother. Later tonight we are takbiran and tomorrow lebaran.” Say Asthma to the Mother who is opposite her while holding chili in her hand.

“Asma sorry mother, if asthma is always troublesome and can not be a good child for mother.” Her speech.

“asma has been a good child for mom and dad. Asthma is a sholihah child that father and mother have. A child who will raise his second degree in the afterlife later, because of his love for the Qur’an.” Mommy Say.

“aamiin ..” said Asthma while shedding tears and looking at Mother.

Asthma ran to hug Mother who also looked at her with pride.

“keep your memorization yes, son. So hafidzah is like raina, your little friend. Mother will feel proud and happy.” Mommy Say.

“aamiin, mom. God willing.” Asma's mouth was getting louder her tears flowing down her cheeks.

Right on the last night of Ramadan, after breaking the fast, the voice of Takbir echoed in the sea. Eid Al-Fitr Day will take place tomorrow. Asma and her teenage friends gathered in the courtyard of the mosque, talking and forgiving each other. Back again, no meeting with Asyam tonight. Ihsan is so familiar with the look of the asthma face that is looking and looks moody.

“asyam just tipped greetings. He said: taqobblahu minna waminkum, shiyamana wa shiyamakum (may Allah accept my practice and your practice, my satisfaction and your satisfaction) he also apologized for the mistakes or the deliberate or unintentional actions he did. He could not contact one by one or send messages in whatsapp group, 2 days ago he was hit by a disaster. Hp and laptop stolen.” Ihsan.

“innalillahi wainnailaihi rooji’ .”

“there's just a test for a fun bang at a time like this.” Syahrul.

“we just pray that God gives patience and bestows his provision in order to buy mobile phones and laptops again.” Silvi.

“aamiin ..”

“bang fun her ga why-why bang ?” asma said spontaneously asking like that.

“Alhamdulillah is fine, just this morning he contacted me with his sister number.” Answer Ihsan.

“keep now fun where is it?” Ask silvi.

“mudik to his hometown in klaten, central java, found his family there. God willing to return to Jakarta with his mother and two younger siblings. He also rented a house near Salwa. Just next to him.” Ihsan.

“oh, yes .. indeed empty si. Alhamdulillah it turns out bang ashyam who nquatin.” Salwa said with a happy face.

Revealed after the conversation, Salwa also harbored feelings for Asyam. It was Ihsan who was more aware of that. In this case, if only Salwa knew that Asham loved Asthma, surely his heart would feel pain if He really hoped for Asham. And Asma certainly does not want to hurt his best friend and willing to sacrifice for the happiness of those around him.

1 Shawwal. The Eid al-Fitr Day is the culmination of fasting. Eid al-Fitr is a holiday where Muslims return to break their fast or eat. Therefore one of the sunnah before eating/drinking before performing Eid prayers.

...“*Allahu akbar .. Allahu akbar .. Allahu akbar .. laa ilaaha illallah allahu akbar .. Allahu akbar walillaa*hil hamd .”...

Echoes of takbir are still heard, accompanying the footsteps of Muslims to step up to meet the mosque to prostrate together on this victory day.

Asma, Bunda Zulfa, Hasan's father, Salwa, Pak Habibi and Bu Rana , stepped together towards the mosque. Same with the Ust family. Rehan and his wife and two children, Ihsan and Raina, were praying in a residential complex in Bogor. After performing the congregational prayers’ah all shake hands and walk back to their respective homes. As is commonly done is to eat together with family, gather and gather to neighboring houses.
