The Three Chosen
219. Punishment Or Exam
Maya is waiting for her husband to return. Since that afternoon Yori did not come back and it made Maya anxious. Ms. RT and other residents were also worried because they were sorry to see the weak Maya condition.
“ You'd better stay at home I first ya May..,” bu said RT.
“ But I'm not good Mom. Gapapa I live in musholla aja first..,” says Maya.
“ Don't May, danger. Don't think much. Ntar let My Husband who is clear with Your Husband if he is angry..,” said bu RT while holding Maya's hand.
Maya agrees too. And from that day Maya lived in the house of the Chairman of RT.
But Maya's wait was in vain because Yori never came back. And during her waiting period, Maya was always a nightmare. He dreamed Yori came to him in a neck full of wounds and blood. In her dream Maya sees Yori going to a forest. Before disappearing into the forest Yori turned to Maya and said something.
“ I'm Sorry Maya. Don't wait for me anymore because I'm not coming back. Don't cry anymore because you deserve to be happy.” Yori said with a smile.
Maya tries to chase after Yori, but Yori prevents her. Maya grows panicked as Yori's face turns black and her neck drips with blood. Then Yori's hand grabbed her own hair until her head slipped from her body. Maya screams hysterically when she sees Yori's headless body go into the forest holding her own head in her hands.
Maya wakes up from her sleep when RT wakes her up.
“ Why scream May, You nightmare yes.?” ask bu RT.
“ Yes Mom. I squirm Bang Yori left while carrying her own head. What does this mean Mom, is Bang Yori already dead.?.” ask Maya while crying.
“ Yes Allah Maya, it is only a dream.” said bu RT while wiping Maya's back.
“ But the dream was not only once Mom. I am afraid that the dream will be real Mom..” groaned Maya to make the Chairman of RT and his wife look at each other confused.
“ We consult with Ustadz tomorrow Yes May. We also do not understand about dreams..” said the chairman of RT who is owned by Maya.
The next day the three of them met Ustadz Hafiz in musholla. Coincidentally at that time Pandu had just finished performing congregational prayers at the musholla. When he was about to get out of the musholla he overheard the conversation of the three of them with the ustadz.
“ That's a sign God sent for you Maya. Sorry I have to be honest. Forgive all Yori's mistakes and expose her..,” says ustadz Hafiz.
“ What happened to My Husband Pak Ustadz..?” asked Maya with a trembling voice.
“ Yori has gone a long way and will not come back again, she has died May..,” said ustadz Hafiz to make Maya surprised and then cry and fall unconscious.
Residents who are still in the musholla were quick to help and took Maya to the nearest Hospital.
When Maya regained tears to make the chairman of RT and his wife piba. Seeing Maya's condition made them unable to convey the bad news they had just received from the doctor who handled Maya earlier. Tenyata Maya was diagnosed with stage one breast cancer.
When he heard the doctor's diagnosis Maya also looked shocked. He felt that the punishment from God for him was coming.
“ Patience May, ask God to heal you.” says bu RT.
“ What God still wants to grant my prayers Mom. I am a despicable human being, so Allah punishes me in succession. My son died in front of my eyes, My husband is gone and now God is still giving me breast cancer. I must have sinned so much that God has given me such a great test. Yes Ms...” said Maya in between sobs.
“ Do not suudzon the same God May. It is precisely God that tests you with this pain that you may repent. The pain can abort your sins as long as you are patient with him May.” said ustadz Hafiz from the doorway to surprise Maya and bu RT.
“ Pak Ustadz...,” call Maya watered.
“ Be happy because God still gives you a chance to repent. Remember what you and Yori have done. You have associated with Allah for asking other than Him. Yori was wrong, you were wrong too. It should be as Your Wife reminding Yori who missteps it and not instead supports it. Regret is useless. Now live your life and make the most of this opportunity that God has given you to atone for all your sins. Man can only strive and God determines. Keep trying so that God will forgive you Maya.” says ustadz Hafiz sage.
Hearing the words of Ustadz Hafiz made Maya realize that all this time she had strayed too far. Maya nodded and wiped her tears.
“ Good is Mr. Ustadz, I will accept My destiny with a chest of air. Thank you for writing to me Mr. Ustadz...,” Maya said sincerely.
“ Both Nak...,” sahut ustadz Hafiz with a smile.

“ You know from whom if Yori died Ci...?” ask Izar.
“ From Mas Pandu...,” Hanako said.
“ So You have received Mas Pandu nih Ci..,” goda Izar.
“ Is so...,” said Hanako shyly to make Iyaz and Izar smile.
“ Yori died to fulfill the promise she made first as she was going to babysit that tuyul Ci. And what Maya saw in her dream was reality. ..,” said Iyaz.
“ Yes Yaz. Kasian Maya..,” says Hanako.
“ Kok kasian sih Ci, Maya why..?” ask Izar.
“ Maya must come true if she has stage one breast cancer. Maybe it's because he ignored the rights of his Son that he should love breast milk instead given formula milk. While the two tuyul can even enjoy the ASI that should belong to his Son.it is ironic.
“ Inna Lillahi wainna ilaihi rojiuun..,” says Iyaz and Izar together.
“ But actually the same drink two tuyul was Maya's blood. Yes, although the essence of ASI is also blood, but this is more extreme. The tuyul suckles more and longer. I wonder what the effect will be for Maya..,” said Izar.
“ Right Zar, surely he lacks blood every day..,” said Iyaz while shuddering.
“ But I salute Maya. After witnessing the death of her Son in front of her eyes, losing her Husband who she said also died, now has to suffer from cancer, but she can still survive.” said Hanako while shaking her head.
“ May he repent immediately and his repentance be accepted by Allah.” said Iyaz.
“ Aamiin...,” sahut Izar and Hanako together.
The conversation was interrupted when Hanako's phone rang. Hanako smiled when she saw Pandu's name on her phone screen.
“ Assalamualaikum Mas..,” greet Hanako.
“ Wa aleikumsalam Sha. There is bad news here Sha...,” said Pandu.
“ What Mas..?” ask Hanako curiously.
“ Maya died this afternoon at the Hospital and her body is planned to be buried next to her Son's grave.
“ Inna Lillahi wainna ilaihi rojiuun..,” Hanako said as she blinked her eyes.
“ So one family it died Sha...,” Pandu said.
“ So is the risk of cooperation with the devil. There's no luck, there's even a fortune. But why did Maya die Mas...?” ask Hanako.
“ She said Maya was found dead in the bathroom. I don't believe it but it's the truth. Didn't think the end of Maya's life was as tragic as Sha..,” Pandu said.
“ Yes Mas..,” Hanako said.
“ But even if Maya's life story ends tragically, I hope our relationship will continue yes Sha...” Pandu said expectantly to make Hanako's face red.
“ Why go there anyway Mas...?” ask Hanako lirih.
“ Let You inget aja if I am still waiting for Your answer Sha..,” said Pandu with a smile.
Hanako was wrong. He secretly felt his chest to neutralize his heartbeat that beat faster due to the speech of Pandu earlier. While Iyaz and Izar had gone out to make room for Hanako and Pandu to speak from heart to heart.
