WHEN I MISS PRAYER

Episode 5 - Visit

Since morning Nadia has been diligent in cleaning her room and her entire house simple. Sweeping, mopping and washing dishes. Because he thought, today he would be a long time away from home to tidy up his duties with other teenagers, he said, plus today there will be a meeting with murobbi (educator) for Liqo (meeting) every once in a week. Nadia is getting ready for her home. Tidying up his clothes and khimar. Gather everything necessary into his bag and immediately take the key of the motor on his dressing table. He went out and rode his motorcycle to the mosque to pick up the notebook in the locker in the secretariat room.

While the silvi that had been neat with brightly colored gamis, now sitting on the porch of the house while waiting for Nadia. Filled his free time to read the Qur’an. With a calm atmosphere and a gentle breeze swept across his face.

Nadia had reached the courtyard of the mosque and started to get off her motorcycle while removing the helmet on her head. The direction of his view towards the secretariat door that is above and still closed tightly, does not indicate there is someone in it. His heart whispered, “who holds the key who is?”.

His gaze again swept around the mosque and stopped when it led into the mosque. There were two men who were praying. He also stepped his feet into the mosque and sat waiting behind the two men with enough distance, about 5 shaf back. There was a whisper of greeting from the two men who continued to pray. Nadia waited and did not want to disturb. Before long, the two men got up and faced back.

“astaghfirullah.” Ihsan said, shocked.

“sorry bang ihsan, so surprise.” Said Nadia with her shy smile.

“ada what, nad ?” Ask Ihsan.

“mau request secretariat key. Is there in bang ihsan ?” Nadia answered and asked.

“oh, yes there.” He answered while reaching into his coco shirt pocket.

“nih. Later when it is finished, just hold it yes.” Ihsan.

“iya, bang ihsan. Thank ye. Assalamu’alaikum.” Nadia.

“wa’alaikumussalam .” Answer Ihsan and Asyam.

Nadia began to run slowly up the stairs to the secretariat room. Open the door and enter to retrieve his notebook left in his locker. After he found it, he checked back the sheet of records he needed. Nadia rushed out and locked the door again, then went down and rode a motorcycle towards Silvi's house. While Ihsan again talked to Asyam while walking out.

“today off again, sham ?” Ihsan asked while lowering her rolled up sleeves.

“iya, san. Saturday and Sunday, I'm off.” Obviously Asyam.

“Aalhamdulillah's. Means if there is activity, God willing can be active continue yes.” Ihsan said with pleasure.

“insya allah.” The reply.

Suddenly, Zidan and Syahrul came over. His steps deepened, entering the mosque hall.

“assalamu’alaikum ..” Zidan said to Ihsan.

“wa’alaikumussalam .. “ Sahut Ihsan and Asyam.

They shake each other.

“Zidan .. You don't work?” Ask Ihsan.

“ngga, bang. Rest first lah.” Legally.

“yasudah, we go to the secretariat only yuk.” Bring Ihsan.

They also walked to the upper room, followed by Asham and Shahrul. Arriving in front of the door, Ihsan was like panicking when reaching into the pocket of his clothes and pants.

“why, san ?” Ask Asyam.

“key ko no yes, syam.” The answer.

“mmh (thinking) .. if not wrong, instead of being asked the same nadia yes ?” Asyam.

“astaghfirullah, yes. I forgot.” Ihsan.

“you already, if so. Syahrul and zidan please buy chicken porridge for us breakfast, key problems later I ask for asthma to take you here.” Ihsan.

“oke, bang.” Zidan Sahut.

“ini, use my money only.” Say Ihsan while giving a piece of money fifty thousand rupiah.

They went back down the stairs to find a chicken porridge seller. While on the way Syahrul and Zidan talked a lot.

“if seen-see handsome big bang also yes, rul.” Zidan.

“hush, be careful again so tranding nih topic about LGBT.” Syahrul.

“hah? what is LGBT ?” Ask Zidan.

“haduu you are very behind deh.” Sahut Syahrul's.

“LGBT stands for Lesbian Gay Bisexual and Transgender.” Syahrul.

“hii.. I'm still normal times, rul. This is just my assessment. You like to overdo it.” Zidan.

“haha. I'll just remind you. After all, you know about this, right.” Syahrul said.

“iya anyway. But if you look around again, he it fits you the same salwa.” Zidan.

“sama asthma is also suitable, equally gentle attitude.” Syahrul.

“sama salwa is more suitable, rul. Beautiful and handsome.” Zidan.

“indeed that asthma is not beautiful ?” Sahut Syahrul's.

“ya beautiful. But more beautiful salwa, rul.” Reply Zidan.

“already, as long as not the same nadia.” Syahrul.

They both glanced at each other and smiled.

Meanwhile, Asthma is cooking with her mother in the kitchen. Asma turned off her phone, ending the call.

“phone from ihsan ?” Ask Mother Zulfah.

“iya, mama. Asthma to the mosque for a moment, mother. Want to interlock.” Clear Asthma.

“yasalah, let mother continue cooking.” Said Mother Zulfah.

“later asthma back again.” Asthma Vocabulary.

“carefully on the way yes, dear.” Message of Mother Zulfah.

Just now Silvi was about to enter the house, but there was the sound of a motorbike stopping in front of his house. He looked around and confirmed who was visiting him. He turned his body upside down, greetings were heard.

“assalamu’alaikum ..” Nadia was full of joy on her face.

“wa’alaikumussalam.” Silvi said with a smile and approached Nadia.

They shake hands while gluing the right and left cheeks alternately.

“sorry yes, ka silvi so long wait.” Nadia.

“ngga. Sit down, I make you drink.” Said Silvi who went straight into the house.

Nadia re-opened her book to look at her notes. Before long, SIlvi again brought a cup of tea and a piece of jam-filled bread that had been cut into pieces.

“nadia, drink the tea first.” Silvi.

“iya, ca. Thank you.” Reply Nadia with a smile.

“gini, you know. One more month layla got married. He was willing to submit his mentoring duties to the sholihah ustadzah. He said that this morning we could meet the sholihah ustadzah at the Al Barokah mosque. He had a halaqoh this morning there.” Nadia.

“you'll be at nine o'clock we'll be there.” Silvi.

Nadia and Silvi continued to talk, many of which they discussed with different themes while waiting for the time to show at 09.00. The rest of the time to arrive at 09:00, Silvi and Nadia were getting ready to go to Al Barokah Mosque to meet Ustadzah Sholihah.

Along with Syahrul and Zidan, Asma entered the courtyard of the mosque.

“syahrul, zidan ..” Call Asthma who is a few steps behind them.

“eh no asthma.” Syahrul.

“you want to meet bang ihsan right ?” Ask Asma.

“iya, tau ajah nih asma.” Zidan Sahut.

“titip lock yes make bang ihsan.” Say it while giving the key to Zidan.

“this is what daritadi awaits, until you have to buy porridge first.” Ledek Syahrul's.

“you already, I'm back. “ Say Asmad with a smile.

“assalamu’alaikum ..” Asthma Vocabulary.

“wa’alaikumussalam.” Sahut Syahrul and Zidan.

Arriving Nadia and Silvi in the parking lot of Al Barokah mosque, seen the courtyard looks lonely. There was only one man who was watching while reading the Qur’an. It seems that Ustadzah Sholihah is still in teaching hours inside the mosque hall. They took off their helmets and began to step into the mosque, which was seen crowded by teenagers. Silvi and Nadia lead to a young man who was sitting while reading Al – Qur’an in the guest table.

“assalamu’alaikum ..” says Silvi.

“wa’alaikumussalam .” The answer.

“mhh .. what is sholihah's ustadzah there ?” Ask Silvi.

“oh, yes. There are. But he is filling halaqoh.” Answer the man.

“if you can know, what's the need?” Shidqi asked who was guarding the guest table.

“we got orders from ustadzah layla to find ustadzah sholihah. There are important things we have to say.” Silvi.

“hmm .. well then just wait at the secretariat. Let me inter.” Reply Shidqi.

Finally, Nadia and Silvi sat in the living room in the secretariat to wait for the Sholihah Ustadzah. Before long, Shidqi returned with Ustadzah Sholihah, telling him if anyone wanted to see him.

Ustadzah Sholihah, first met, was very friendly with a smile painted on his lips, his face was pure white and very beautiful when viewed. When he heard his voice, it was so soft and smooth.

“assalamu’alaikum, ustadzah.” Sapa Silvi and Nadia as they rise and shake hands with Ustadzah Sholihah.

“wa’alaikumussalam warohmatullah .” Legally.

They sat back together, except for Shidqi who was back on guard at the front desk.

“i know your intentions and arrival. Ustadzah layla has delivered it to me.” Ustadzah Sholihah.

“iya ustadzah, we hope ustadzah help us and accept us as part of halaqoh ustadzah.” Silvi.

“god willing. You will join my halaqoh. Can it be if the time is equalized ? so that you also get to know each other.” Tanya Ustadzah Sholihah's.

“we hope, we can customize. God willing tomorrow we return with our two friends. We'll discuss it first, ustadzah. About time issues.” Silvi.

“by, I will wait. If possible, the decision is made immediately. By message or phone is also okay, so that the next meeting you have started to join dihalaqoh.” Ustadzah.

“good ustadzah, god willing.” Sahut Silvy.

“syukron ustadzah over time.” Nadia.

“then, we say goodbye first ustadzah.” Silvi.

“well. See you next week.” Ustadzah Sholihah.

Nadia and Silvi say goodbye and step back towards the parking lot to continue the journey to the Ar Rahman mosque.

Time of dzuhur. The four young men who had rested in the secretariat began to rush down the stairs to the ablution place to perform the dzuhur prayer berjama’ah. Along with his arrival, Silvi and Nadia parked their motorcycle in the courtyard of the mosque.

“ka silvi, nadia .. assalamu’alaikum .” Shouted Syahrul who set foot on the last ladder.

“wa’alaikumussalam.” Reply both.

“ayo prayer berjama’ah.” Syahrul.

“iya, rul.” Sahut Silvi who was only replied with a smile by Syahrul and immediately returned to walking.
