WHEN I MISS PRAYER

Episode 4 - Confession

Arriving Asma in the yard of his house, he took a breath to ventured into the house and met his parents. Asma was afraid that her father and mother would be angry by seeing the condition of her bandaged hands and for her behavior that did not tell her parents. Asma pushed herself against the bell beside the door. His right hand was hidden behind, his left hand was holding a plastic bag containing grilled chicken husks.

“asmaa ..” Ustadzah Zulfah.

“assalamu’alaikum, mother.” Ucpa Asma with a smile, but without salim to his mother.

“asma bring grilled chicken, mother want a bribe asthma eat ? asma also buy for dad same mother.” Saying asthma nervously.

Ustadzah Zulfah was silent looking at his son and noticed the motion of – gnarled and mimic in his face.

“talking greetings without kissing your hand, giving something with your left hand, asking to be bribed while eating. Not as usual.” Ustadzah Zulfah.

“maybe just a mother feeling. Asthma to room yes, mother.” Smells that rushed through the door.

“why your right hand ?” Ask Ustadzah Zulfah while blocking the path of Asthma.

Asthma fell silent and bowed taking her breath in.

“allow asthma in, mom. Asthma promise will tell in the room.” Her speech.

Ustadzah Zulfah also allowed his daughter to enter the room while watching her hand wrapped in bandages. Ustadzah Zulfah also breathed while locking the door, then followed Asthma up the stairs to the princess's room only. Arriving at the door of the room, Ustadzah Zulfah looked into the room while holding the doorknob and looked at Asma who was sitting quietly on the mattress.

“pending get a drink first yes.” Ustadzah Zulfah said to his beloved daughter.

“itself, mother.” Asma was full of tenderness while touching the plastic box on her mattress, she would not give it with her left hand again.

Mother simply replied with a smile and stepped closer to pick it up. While waiting for her mother to return, Asma changed into sleeping clothes. The clothes stay long and wear a casual hijab. Asthma sat back in her bed and leaned back with a pillow on her back while hugging a pillow of bolsters. Ustadzah Zulfah returned with a tray containing a cup of warm tea, a glass of mineral water and a plate for rice and grilled chicken. Ustadzah Zulfah sat facing his daughter and placed a tray on the lamp table.

“ada what ?” ask the delicate Ustadzah Zulfah while holding Asthma's right wrist.

“asma accident on the road. Asthma motorbike hit another rider who came out of the corner on the left side of the road.”

Clear Asthma.

“his need is severe ?” ask Ustadzah Zulfah casually.

“actually just blisters on asthma fingers, palms too. Asthma refuses to be taken to the clinic, but the riders who hit the asthma and the people who helped, force.” Clearly again.

“dia also left a business card for asthma, if the asthma hand has not healed.” Asthma Vocabulary.

“already, do not burden others. He has been kind enough to take responsibility for his mistakes. God willing it is okay, your hands will be healed.” Ustadzah Zulfah said as he prayed.

“Aamiin, god willing.” Asthma Reply.

“you've eaten, mother bribe. Mother also made tea for you.” Say Ustadzah Zulfah while preparing a spoonful of rice to feed on Asthma.

Meanwhile. Asyam, the young man who accidentally bumped into Asthma still felt guilty, his heart was restless. The face of Asthma's joy is still imagined in her mind. Ihsan who was lying on the bed saw the anxiety of his friend, who was not stopping modar mandir to and fro sat while hugging a pillow.

“ada what, syam ? there seems to be something that is being thought of !” Ihsan.

“emh ... mhh, I still think of something. It feels stuck in the heart, even though I have repeatedly apologized.” Obviously Asyam.

“what's the problem ?” Ask Ihsan.

“tadi accidentally hit another rider.” The answer.

“you mean ?” Tanya Ihsan whose mind was fixed on the incident earlier this afternoon when Asma came in with her hand wrapped in bandages.

“asma.” Answer Asham while bowing.

“so ..” Said Ihsan who began to rise and stand before Asham.

“I'm sorry. Really by accident.” Asyam.

“astaghfirullah .. why did it get souu ..” Said Ihsan who sat back with a lethargic face.

“looked at the incident earlier this afternoon, with his friends who were so concerned and worried about him. My heart feels more guilty.” Asyam.

“sit.” Said Ihsan who immediately embraced his friend while sitting next to him.

“indeed, it is also fate for you. Everything must have been programmed by God. The hours, minutes and seconds for your meeting, even in such an event. I'm sure you're very careful on the road. Most importantly you have admitted wrong and are responsible for it.” Ihsan.

“it hurts, san. Stuffy. When his friends are so concerned about asthma. I'm getting guilty it feels.” Asyam.

“syam. Asthma is indeed someone who is very dear to his friends because of the tenderness, calmness and kindness in him. Never mind, just pray that soon be given healing on his wounds.” Ihsan.

“better we rest, it's getting late.” Said Ihsan who immediately lay down and pulled the blanket.

“And because of His mercy, He made for you night and day, that you may rest at night and that you may seek some of His bounty (by day) and that you may give thanks to Him.”

(Jakni, worship and obedience both day and night, then anyone who does not have time to worship on one of them, then he does it at other times.)

QS. Al Qosh (28) 73

“and We made your sleep for rest, and We made clothes for clothing, and We made it day for livelihood,”

(Night is referred to as “clothing” because the night was dark and covered the universe like clothes covering the human body.)

QS. Naba (78) 9 - 11

Morning, on sunday. Asma and Salwa do their weekly routine together, which is a morning run around the park. Togetherness is happiness. Togetherness is a crowd that removes silence. For these two friends, being together is the thing they love the most. By walking together, talking, sometimes can also reduce the burden in the heart or maybe also can get various solutions for each problem discussed. It has been about an hour they run while occasionally they walk, it feels tired. They decided to sit on one of the park benches while drinking a bottle of water they brought from home.

“Alhamdulillah, we can meet again and run in the morning for the week.” Say asthma with a smile.

“iya, Thank God.” Salwa Sahut.

“run morning it's a lot of benefits. One of them increases the body's endurance. But many are still lazy to do it.” Salwa.

“hopefully more will understand that.” Sahut Asthma.

“by the way , kanya understand so much.” Canda Asthma.

Asma only replied with a smile towards her best friend.

Sunday morning Ihsan was spent in worship and repeating his memorization with his friend who now lives with him in the tenement. Ihsan and Asham washed part of his body with ablution water. After that, they again stepped foot into the prayer room to perform dhuha prayers. This morning in the mosque was quite quiet, not many people visited and not much noise occurred outside. It seems like a pleasure to calmly worship in it. Asyam and Ihsan continued walking while lowering his rolled up sleeves. Arriving in the middle of the room, they were a little far apart to perform dhuha prayer solemnly and pray with hope to God.

Dhuha prayer is a prayer that is done at the time of dhuha or the time when the sun begins to rise, approximately around 7 am until the time of zuhr. The amount of raka’atnya at least 2 raka’at and a maximum of 12 raka’at, done once salam every 2 raka’at.

...Prayer after the dhuha...

...“Allahumma innadh dhuha-a dhuha-uka, wal baha-a bahaa-uka, wal jamaala jamaaluka, wal quwwata quwwatuka, wal qudrata qudratuka, wal ishmata ishmatuka. Allahuma inkaana rizqi fissamma-i fa anzilhu, wa inkaana fil ardhi fa-akhrijhu, wa inkaana mu’asaran fayassirhu, wainkaana haraaman fathahhirhu, ...

...wa inkaana ba’and fa qaribhu, bihaqqiduha-ika wa bahaaika, ...

...wa jamaalika wa quwwatika wa qudratika, ...

...aatini maa ataita ‘ibadakash shalihin.”...

...(meaning :O Allah, verily the time of dhuha is the time of Thy dhuha, the majesty is Thy grace, ...

...Beauty is Your beauty, strength is Your strength, care is Your care,...

...O Allah, when my sustenance is above the heavens, send it down, when it is in the earth,...

...when it is difficult to ease, when haram sanctify, ...

...when draw near to the truth of Your dhuha, Your power (O Lord), bring to me what You bring to Your righteous servants.”)...

Asyam and Ihsan's footsteps continued until they reached a girl's house, right in front of her door. Ihsan pressed a button beside the door and said hello. Before long, the door opened along with the lady who answered the greeting who was still using a bright white mukena.

“wa’alaikumussalam warohmatullah.” Legally.

The girl was surprised to find two men in front of her. The usual friendly face gave a radiant smile, now present with slightly rounded eyes. The gaze of this one man could not see the girl he had met for the second time, until finally he subdued his gaze and the girl who turned out to be Asma started to turn her eyes to look at Ihsan when her name was called by Ihsan.

“asma ..” Call Ihsan gently.

“mhh. Please enter bang ihsan, bang assyam.” Asthma Vocabulary.

Ihsan and Asyam followed Asthma's steps up to the living room. Ustadz Hasan had breakfast with Ustadzah Zulfah.

“please sit, bang. Asthma make a drink first.” Asthma Vocabulary.

“ihsan ..” Sapa Ustadz Hasan's.

“iya, abi ..” Reply Ihsan who called him Abi.

“mari-mari here, we have breakfast together.” Ustadz Hasan.

“ayo nak ihsan come here, invite his friend also.” The Ustadzah Zulfah.

Ihsan was not happy to refuse it, they also happened to not have breakfast and the stomach felt hungry. Perhaps this is their sustenance this morning, right after the completion of the dhuha prayer. Ihsan and Asyam occupied the bench at the dining table. Asthma emerged from behind the wall carrying two glasses of orange syrup on a tray. Step towards the living room and put the tray on the table. He dropped them one by one with his left hand. He went back to the kitchen to put the tray.

“delay, asthma to room first.” Asthma Vocabulary.

“you ain't breakfast, asthma ?” Ask Ustadz Hasan.

“later, dad. Asthma not finished.” It is clear that Asma began to leave Father, Mother and her two guests.

“ayo eaten, later we talk.” Ustadz Hasan said to Ihsan and Asham.

After breakfast, Ihsan and Asyam continued to chat with the two Asma parents. Asyam's feelings are getting more and more out of his mind, I don't know what he'll get when they find out that the accident on their daughter was caused by him. Ihsan was getting cool talking while laughing with Ustadz Hasan.

“I hope he does not forget the purpose and purpose of our arrival this morning.” , Inner Asyam.

“asma ga join us abi ?.” Ask Ihsan.

“if this hour he used to spend time in the room. A quiet time for him to return to worship after his worship at night.” Ustadz Hasan.

“what's the matter, san ? is there need same asthma ?” Ask Ustadzah Zulfah.

“mmh ..” Ihsan muttered as he thought while glancing at Asyam.

“mmh .. sorry ustadzah, actually the arrival of ihsan is to accompany me to meet both Asthma parents.” Obviously Asyam.

“ooh, so there is a need with us.” Ustadzah Zulfah.

“me, assyam. I came to see you this morning, to apologize for yesterday afternoon's incident that made asthma hand wound.” Asyam who began to bow down, did not dare to look at the faces of Ustadz Hasan and Ustadzah Zulfah.

“innalillahi ..” says Ustadz Hasan and Ustadzah Zulfah.

“astaghfirullah .. so his friend nak ihsan.” Ustadzah Zulfah,

“i really apologize profusely.” Say Asyam with a face that feels very guilty.

“doesn't be happy, god willing it's okay. After all, asthma has been told that this boy has taken him to the clinic and also left a business card to call again if anything happens.” Clearly Ustadzah Zulfah to appease Asham.

“then how is the state of asthma now , ummi ?” Ask Ihsan.

“god has improved. The band is also deliberately ummi let loose so that the wound dries quickly.” Answer Ustadzah Zulfah.

“thank you, assyam. Abi salute with your courage and your responsibility.” Ustadz Hasan.

“actually I am also afraid that until ustadz and ustadzah angry at me.” Say something with a shy smile.

“do not want to be absorbed. Which person will be angry with someone who has helped and is also responsible for his actions. No matter how small the goodness, we must appreciate, son.” Ustadzah Zulfah.

“let alone you come and apologize directly in front of us.” Ustadz Hasan.

Ustadz Hasan replied with a smile. Their conversation continued until the eve of the sublime, Ihsan deliberately lingered there and studied with Ustadz Hasan, his father's friend.
