WHEN I MISS PRAYER

Episode 71 - Guest

Since Asthma meeting with her friends who ended up sick, Asthma is not allowed to do activities outside the home. Today is the 4th day of Asthma at home. Salwa, who last contacted him, postponed asking Asma to meet. But the feeling in his heart became more and more, the storm he had conquered was now raging again. Salwa was worried, wanted far away but still loved the remaining affection, wanted close but was afraid of disappointment again.

It is not easy to let go of likes, it is not impossible to heal wounds. But to repeat the same pain, such as waiting for a sprinkling of salt on the wound. Know the pain that will be received and just wait for the time.

Salwa sits on the balcony of a carpeted room along with Asthma. Asthma serves fresh drinks with a few snacks for Salwa. Farhan, who had welcomed Salwa, had now left for work. Leaving his wife with a warm kiss.

"You came here, not just ? there must be something you want to say." Asma said while landing her hand on Salwa's hand.

Salwa silently did not answer, she turned to look at Asma. Showing his anxious face while thinking about where to start the story.

"even though you don't know how much I love a fun bang, but at least you know I like it. And so is the pain I feel, though I don't know the magnitude but you know I feel it." Obviously Salwa who was answered nod by Asma.

"you.can't yet set that in your heart ?" Ask.

"no." The answer.

"the more I feel, I can make peace with my race. But, I also felt that I was still at war with my heart." Salwa.

"as I approached, he refused. When I got away, he came closer." Further.

"do you trust ? as you approach His owner, he will approach by himself. But the more you chase him, the harder you get to reach him." Asthma Vocabulary.

"now, you just follow the path of your destiny. Walk as you are and give your heart to God." Clear Asthma.

"make him a friend like we consider him a friend with no more flavor than a friend, no more hope than a friend." Continue Asthma.

"you know, right ? we cannot set one's heart to be what we want it to be. But we can control our own hearts to stay calm even in the middle of the storm." Asthma Vocabulary.

Salwa hugged Asthma.

"God is good, to meet me with you. Let me be friends with you, Asthma." Salwa.

Asma returned Salwa's embrace.

"don't hurt for long. We miss you there." Salwa.

"yes. yes, tomorrow I permit mas farhan to enter teaching." Answer Asthma with a smile.

At night in peace, Asma prepared a change of clothes for Farhan when he came home from work. He hung it in the bathroom neatly. He intends to rest his body that is still limp on the mattress. Just leaning back and opening the book, Mama Fara knocked on her bedroom door.

"mama.. " Who is Asthma when you open the door.

"there are guests looking for you downstairs. Mom wait downstairs." Mama Fara said without telling her who was visiting.

Asthma re-enters to replace her veil with a longer one, as she uses it daily. Asma quietly went down the stairs and was surprised to find someone who had not seen him for a long time.

"raine.. " Say her while continuing her steps and hugging her.

"god, I miss you. Sorry I haven't visited you." Her speech.

"i heard you were sick, so I asked my brother to visit." Raina.

Mama Fara, Papa Hanif accompanied Asma in the guest room while chatting with Ihsan, his nephew.

"so ready to teach in the new building ?" Ask Papa Hanif.

"live a little more, om. Maybe it's better to open at the beginning of the year and open a new student reception in the middle of the year." Ihsan.

"yes. yes. om believe in you. You guys who understand better, om glad that all goes well." Papa Hanif.

"how are things at the teaching place, bang ?" Ask Asma.

"alhamdulillah all under control." The answer.

"someone was looking for you." Her speech.

"who ?" Ask Asma.

"mhh. ainun, if not wrong. He said there's a need for you." Evidently.

"what about teaching on tpa, yeah.." Asthma Vocabulary.

"at that time he said he wanted to join to teach. But asthma has not given an answer. Asthma is also a lot of consideration." Clear Asthma.

"Assalamu'alaikum's chat.. "

"wa'alaikumussalam's chat.. "

"it's the same raina wants to take asthma." Mama Fara.

"Papa kekamar first ya.." Papa Hanif said when he found Xena who followed with Nathan.

"tante, xena bawain sate aunty's favorite. Xena taro in the kitchen." Xena.

Ihsan and Raina who had just met Xena and Nathan looked confused and looked at each other.

"nathan please sit." Asthma Vocabulary.

"ah. yeah." Nathan Said.

"mas... You want to change clothes first ?" Ask Asma.

"yes." The answer.

"Raina, I'll stay a while." Asthma Vocabulary.

Asthma escapes Farhan to the room to clean up and change clothes.

"loh, farhan where's it ?" Xena asked who was back from the kitchen.

"again change clothes." Answer Mama Fara.

"aunty make a drink first." Mama Fara.

"san, raina. Aunt stay a while." Mama Fara.

Asma waited for Farhan who was taking a bath while sitting on the mattress.

"why haven't you slept ? I told you not to sleep in a mess, not cape-cape." Say Farhan while drying your hair with a towel.

"i'll wait for you to come home, Mom. Raina's coming too, I haven't seen her in a long time." Clear Asthma.

"have you eaten ?" Ask Asma.

"yet." The answer is in front of the mirror.

"yuk, down." Asma reached out her hand.

Farhan was silent. Found asthma pampered since illness a few days ago. Farhan stared at the hand that was still outstretched, waiting to be reached.

"we'll see the guest first. I'll eat later." Said Farhan grasping Asthma's hand and replied with a smile.

Nathan was talking to Ihsan like someone who had known him for a long time.

"know, bro. He's my cousin, Ihsan and his sister, raina." Farhan.

"this, Nathan and xena, college buddies." Farhan said to Ihsan.

"han, I have to leave. It's late, have to get Raina back home." Ihsan.

"you're back in bogor ?" Ask Asma.

"yes."

"nginep ajah is here. There's a room for you. Or do you step in my house, there's a mother and father." Asma said who did not want to part with Raina while holding her arm.

"you can have asthma, tomorrow I have memorization classes and I have started teaching at the lodge. Sorry I just told you." Raina.

"other time I play again, or you play at my house." Raina said with a smile.

Asthma took off her grip, slowly with a sad face and teary eyes. His steps retreated slowly and turned around leaving towards the room.
