When Love is Tassified

Chapter 18 - Call Azzura

Fatimah's words pierced Naura's heart. He who was born without a father figure felt entangled with what his father-in-law Azzura said.

Fatimah brought Khanza and Naufal home. He gave a warning to his grandchildren not to be too kind to an unknown person. Fatimah also warned Naura not to continue to depend on her family. The slurs from Fatimah continued to be thrown even though Azzura and Azzam tried to give understanding to his mother. But Fatimah always behaved as she wished and still acted as she wished. Only Azzura and Azriel were there. Azzam himself first to the office.

"Naura, I'm sorry for what she said to me. You don't get in the heart, yeah." Azzura is not feeling good to Naura. He knew it must be a pain to hear such a spicy speech. He alone who listened felt hurt, let alone Naura.

Naura who was already wearing ordinary clothes smiled. "It's okay, Auntie. I really understand. And I don't feel offended by Aunt Fatimah's words. I realized because that was the truth." Although her heart was quite sad, but Naura was self-conscious of who she was. He was taken care of by his family and he was grateful. When no other family was present, Azriel was at his side.

"My grandmother's words don't enter the heart, yes. She likes it, but she's actually a really nice grandmother" said Azriel, who was equally unwell.

"Of course not at all. It is precisely I who should apologize to all of you for bothering you. Though I am none of you and I just know you, but you already care so much for me and so sincerely take care of me. If it wasn't for you guys, I might be alone here and could still be lying weakly unconscious, or I might be gone." Naura admitted that she was grateful to be found by good people until Iya learned about a sincerity in helping fellow humans. Selflessly they take care of, finance, and also take care of themselves as long as they are unconscious.

"Where are you going now? Don't you have no place to live? Where would you go if your own parents were not at home?" Azriel. Before coming to the hospital, Azriel and her father try to help Naura find her parents with the address that Naura says she has. They feel sorry to see Naura sad without a family. But when Toba was in his house, there was not a single person who lived there.When asked the neighbors, no one knew where his mother Naura went.

Naura's face was a bird that was bowed down sadly with the confusion she was feeling. "I don't know where else to go? I was also confused as to why I should leave. On the other hand, there's only my mother I have, but on the other hand, I don't want to see me anymore." I don't know where he should go? Where should he ask for help again? I don't know where he should look for a contract when he already has nothing.

Azriel and Azzura stared at each other. Both of them felt pity and also pity to see a girl hanging around without a destination.

"Mother, shouldn't Mother random Naura to where umi kulsum is?" Azriel remembered the woman who was the resting place of her mother during the Hijrah.

"But what does Naura want?" azzura looked at Naura.

"What's the matter, Auntie?"

"The place that will appear to recommend is not just any place. Many people who often study there, many things you need to do beyond what you think, and many students and students who are studying. More precisely a sacred cottage that is often called a holy prison," said Azzura describe the place he used to live.

"Pesantren cottage?" Naura looked at Azzura and the mother of three nodded.

Naura fell silent first thinking about her offer. "But can this woman like me get into a clean holy environment? I feel unworthy, I feel stupid in matters of religion, I don't even know my God."

"Yes Nau, God is forgiving, merciful, and all-rounder. If you want, Auntie can take you there and stay there while studying."

Naura thought about their words. He who indeed has a desire to change begins to be interested in things that smell Islamic. He who does not know his Lord has a desire to be close to him.

"Naura wants to, Auntie." After considering everything, after he saw how the Azriel family was so good and obedient in worship, as he often heard the chanting of the holy verse made Naura's heart touched to be able to learn it. And he will not waste this opportunity all this time on the path of good. Although Naura thought that what she was going to do was not easy, Naura would not give up.

"Alhamdulillah, masjallah." Azriel and Azzura expressed gratitude for what Naura chose. They were also amazed at the guidance God gave to this beautiful young woman.

"Then, tomorrow we will go there together with Auntie and Khanza. It just so happens that Khanza also wants to study there," said Azzura smiling happy that there are people who want to repent.

"Yes, Aunt. But Azzura stayed here until tomorrow. Want to go home confused to where, it's okay Auntie?"

"Of course not dong, let Auntie take care of everything and Auntie want permission first with the medical team."

"Mother, Azriel's going to come out, wait a minute." Azzura understood, and he was still there.

Azriel seemed to reach into his pants pocket. He took something and kept it on a cage. "Maybe this is nothing, but if your heart is in a state of turmoil, say the phrase dhikr. Maybe this can accompany you when you are studying."

Naura looked down at the small round object like a bracelet. White color with the words Allah and Muhammad. "This what?"

"Tassad."
