4 YEARS LATER....
I graduated a year ago. And now I work as a writer.
Being a writer is a dream as well as my dream since childhood.
Writing is art. Art expresses feelings through words. It may seem simple to write it, in fact it is not easy at all. To be able to create a useful writing for the reader needs knowledge, as well as creativity to choose a vocabulary that is easy to understand and understand. To create a word that has meaning there is not easy.
I got back in front of my laptop, thinking hard what I should write today. Oh, yes I forgot. Today a friend of mine asked me to write a poem for a distant future girlfriend. Far in the eyes close in prayer he said. My fingers began to type word for word. Until it becomes a poem.
For My Love...
I'd love to rest my head on your shoulders, you,
I wish I lost the worry in my mind.
Love, sometimes want to be in your arms while complaining about my suffering.
Tell me about how the world treated me.
I know it's not easy for me, or even not easy for you ?
It is very desirable to go hand in hand, but fate asks us to toughen up alone.
The distance between us may want to teach us a lesson.
That miss would never have existed if you and I were together.
It's okay if today has to be a separate road,
Do we not share the same goal ?
May the good-natured destiny bring us home to the same house.
May your hand be my sleeping pillow.
And may it be your dark ears that will listen to my bedtime story.
I don't know why I suddenly thought of Ardan. How is he doing ?.
It's been a long time since I knew about him. Ardans. He was the first man to make me fall in love. He was also the first person to successfully break my heart. Oh Rob, why is it so hard to forget. I've been trying to forget it for so long. Ahh, in fact I still believe he will bring me home. Oh, Rob. May I wish about him. For years I have missed him.
The sound of knocking on the door broke my daydream. "get in ! ". It was my mother who knocked on my door.
" Shaa. You really do your khimar, then go down. Someone wants to meet you ". Mommy Say.
" Who's Bun ? " Ask me.
Mother smiled at me "There was a man who came to propose to you. He was chatting with Dad. And now I ask Mommy to call you, you better get down first and see her ". Said Mother while stroking my khimar. After that Mother down. I clear my khimar, then go down. With my head bowed, I slowly descended one by one the stairs. My heart beats, and my heart wonders ?. Who is that man. OH Robb, I still expect him to come to me. Then what if the one who came was not the one we have been calling his name in prayer, but someone else.
After reaching the end of the stairs Dad called me "Come, son ! ". Tell Dad, make me look up. The man was sitting on his back to me making me not know who that man was. Do I know him ?. I walked towards dad. Arriving beside Father I looked up at the man sitting in front of my father. And how surprised I am. That man is Raga's brother, Ardan's brother. Here there is not only Me, Father, Mother, and Sister Raga. There is also a Bang Iyan. I looked at them with a clueless look, what is the meaning of all this. And who really wants to preach me ?. Is it Raga ?.
As I know that I was confused, Bang Iyan started the conversation "Sha means Raga's arrival here-and-here" Bang Iyan's speech was cut off. " Let me explain to Alisyha ". Said Brother Raga.
" Sha, I mean coming here to preach you. I want to be the wife and mother of my children. Actually I've long kept the taste in you in silence. However, I did not dare to say it to you at all. Because I know loving before marriage is a test. I've been doing this for a long time and the answer is you. So, in front of all your families I intend to preach you. If you are ready, I will bring my family here soon. But if you are not willing, God willing, I will be sincere. Whatever your answer I'll take it with my chest ". Deg !. The words of Kak Raga just made my heart break. What did he say just now ?.
He has long kept a taste in me ?
Why don't I know, I don't even realize it.
" How is Syha ? . Are you willing to accept Raga's proposal or not ?. The answer is entirely I give to you son. Because no matter how you live your life with him. But as you already know, this Raga is both in terms of religion and morality. I had no choice but to accept it. For Abu Hurairah reported that the Prophet had said:
إِذَا خَطَبَ إِلَيْكُمْ مَنْ تَرْضَوْنَ دِيْنَهُ وَخُلُقَهُ فَزَوِّجُوْهُ، إِلاَّ تَفْعَلُوا تَكُنْ فِتْنَةٌ فِي الْأَرْضِ وَفَسَادٌ عَرِيْضٌ
“When a person whom you profess religion and morality comes to you to propose to your woman, then you should marry that person to your woman. If you do not do it there will undoubtedly be slander on earth and great damage.” (CHR. At-Tirmidhi no. 1084, Al-Imam Al-Albani t in Al-Irwa’ no. 1868, Ash-Shahihah. 1022)
However, it all comes back again I leave it to you son ". Say soft daddy to me. It is true that Raga can be said perfect husband candidates, the dream of the afterlife. But do I have to accept the offer. I have to answer what while my heart still hopes that the one who came here is his sister. Oh Rob, why should a servant be in a choice that no servant wants at all. What destiny are you preparing for me, O God.
Everyone in this room was staring at me. Waiting for my answer. Oh Rob, what do I have to answer ?. I really can't give you an answer. My heart is still confused. I took a breath in "I'm sorry before Brother, I know what Kak Raga meant to come here with good intentions. Alisyha appreciates the arrival of Raga. But sorry again ".My words stopped me looking at their faces one by one, looks disappointed look at them do I say wrong ?. " Alisyha apologizes not yet able to answer now, Alisyha please give time to pray istiqoroh for guidance to Allah. Inshaa Allah 3 more days Alishha will give the answer ". Saying my decision, I had seen Kak Raga smile even though I saw her. But his smile was so sweet. After that, Raga's permission to go home.
