Ramadan Without Sua
The End of the Month

After three weeks in Natuna, now Ardhita is preparing to start welcoming the month of Ramadan full of blessings and mercy from Allah. The girl always offered prayers in her heart, hopefully her parents who are in Malang in good health. One day, when he will be reunited, he can meet in a healthy and safe state.

"It is not felt that today is the end of the month of Satan, O Allah .. I did not expect to have passed almost a month in Natuna."

Yes, now is the end of the month. The moon itself has several special features. Some of the special features of the month of Sabbath are the right momentum to pray. This night is also called Lailat al-Du'a which means night of prayer. In addition, in this month Allah sent down a verse that contains the commandment to pray. Likewise, Ardhita, who now prays alone, offers a personal prayer to God.

At his residence not far from the Emergency Hospital in Natuna, now at night, Ardhita prostrated and worshiped God alone. The girl sat down on the prayer mat and put on her face. His hands were looking up, and his tears were running.

"O Allah, to You are the prostrating servant. On this Nishfu Sya'ban night the charity record of the enthusiasm will be replaced with a new one every year. May my work here be counted as charity. In addition, entering the month of Ramadan even though it is within limitations and away from home, if the servant can perform fasting worship. Finish it until Fitri later, Oh Allah ...."

"Allahumma ahillaahu 'alaina bilamni wal iadani, wasalaamati wal islaami wattaufiiqi fivea nohibbu wa tardhii robbana wa robbukallahu."

The prayer that Arshita recites now has meaning, may Allah make it for us by bringing peace and faith, salvation and Islam, and bring taufik who will lead him to what God loves and loves. Full surrender to God and his power.

Honestly, Ardhita's feelings are now mixed. His first experience will be fasting away from home. There really is no Father or Mother. However, Ardhita believes that he will continue to perform fasting. Away from home is not an obstacle to fasting.

After finishing his prayer, Ardhita said amen. After that, he began to look at his alphabet, and let go of his face. After that, he called his parents who were at home. Calling or sometimes making video calls is a way to maintain communication with loved ones now.

"Hello, Assalamualaikum, Father and Mother" Dhita said to her parents who live in Malang by making a phone call.

"Halo ... waalaikumsalam, Ta ... how are you?" ask Ms. Tini.

"Alhamdulillah, Dhita is good, Ms. .. only sometimes lose the signal. Understandably on the island, Ms. .. sometimes there is no signal" Dhita replied.

"Working in a Hospital is dangerous, isn't it, Ta? You must take care of health well .. do not get infected. Danger, Ta," said Bu Tini again.

Ardhita nodded her head, as if she was talking directly to her parents right now. He then gave his answer to his mother. "Yes, now you have to wear PPE (self-protective equipment) every time you're on duty, ma'am. Clothes and clothes from the Hospital also directly, Dhita wash. Yes, may Allah be kind enough to help and protect Dhita, ma'am."

"Good guard, Nduk .. you are the vanguard in this pandemic. May Allah rejoice and protect you. It's the end of the month of Shaban, Nduk. The day after tomorrow we will perform the fast. I'm sorry if something went wrong all this time. My son fasts so far, we are separated immediately (sea) wide yes, Ta," said Mr. Harjo.

Listening to what her Father had just said, made Ardhita almost cry. He also misses his mother and father. However, it can't do much.

"Dhita apologizes to Father and Mother. Hopefully, in the month of Ramadan later, although far apart we can perform fasting together. Receiving the benefits and guidance of Allah Almighty Yes, Father and Mother," replied Ardhita.

"You're still in touch with Dhito? Don't forget to take care of yourself too, Ta .. now everyone has to take care of themselves. In our housing is now so quiet. In front of the entrance the housing is already guarded. You have to be more careful" said Tini.

Asked about Dhito, Ardhita nodded her head slowly. "After this, Dhita will call Mas Dhito. All apologizing at the end of this Sacrifice" he replied.

"Alright, Ta .. pray for each other well. We can't do much. However, prayer is anchor, prayer is the way we embrace and love from afar. Yes, healthy, Ndug. Don't forget to pray" said Tini.

Once the phone call has ended, Ardhita wants to call her boyfriend, Dhito. Say sorry and hope that all will be protected by God. May the end of this shaban bring good. Even the earth will be restored slowly by God.
