Today Radit was able to go home, and this afternoon everyone was in Radit's room to pick him up. His parents, and we were all present. After packing the goods, we breezed out of Radit's room.
While walking in the corridor of the hospital they were joking while laughing with their respective jokes. I walked the back with Radit.
The deg!
That figure-then!!
the sucker sister on the floor is now at the end of the hall the opposite direction we're pushing towards us. Still in the same style, holding an infusion bag and continuing to suck into almost every room he passed.
I walked over away from that figure. Radit who was beside me looked at me in wonder, "why, Ai?"
"No papa." I tried to look calm.
Suddenly Radit immediately clasped my hand tightly and then approached my ear and whispered, "don't be afraid, I'm here."
The nyesss!!
I just smiled faintly in response to him.
Azan maghrib had just visited.
"Then yes," said brother Arden.
"okay."
Before returning home, we took the first prayer at the mosque next to the hospital.
Mushola is located in a private SMU school. Coincidentally the school gate is open because there is always a congregational maghrib prayer there.
Because it was inside the school and kind of went inside, we parked the car in the front yard of the school.
Radit's parents had gone home first, and Radit ngeyel wanted to come with us until we finished praying.
There are some people who walk into this school wearing cocoa clothes for men and mukena superiors for women. Like they're citizens around here.
Then there are some men who wear white turban and his clothes are bright like light.
It's not the first time I've seen something like this. And I know they're not human. It could be called a Muslim jinn.
"Da... Who are they, huh?" whispered Radit to me.
I looked at him, '" huh? Which one?" tanyaku pura do not understand.
"Ck. Are you minus his eyes? That one, the last one. How his clothes shine. "
Gluey!
"Jeez, Radit," I muttered at him in disbelief.
"Why?"
"It's okay." I stopped walking and looked at him, "where are you going?"
"Yes come along. Waiting at the mushola.. Afraid, in the parking lot alone," he said grimily.
I clucked while shaking my head. Arriving at the mushola, I immediately took ablution water with the others. Radit just paced back and forth in front of the mushola.
There are plenty of pilgrims here too. Although the location of the mosque is somewhat entered into the school, does not discourage residents to pray congregation here.
After the prayer, we came out of the mushola.
From a distance I saw Radit talking to the same person we saw. A man with a white victim who looks bright.
From beside me, Arkana passed by and walked straight ahead to the man who was with Radit there.
Arkana looked down as if paying respect.
Who is he.
His appearance was very calm, dignified and very charismatic.
"Dith! Crazy huh? A smile is not so obvious!!" oceh Dedi's.
What they saw was Radit was alone while smiling an unclear smile .
But I saw it another. Brother Arden also glanced at me.
I just shrugged my shoulders up.
"Come back," Radit asked, and he walked first to the parking lot without responding to Sedi's rant.
"Eh... Kebelt... Temenin yuk,"grimmed Kiki while crossing her legs holding back a pee.
"Me too, yuk ah. Bentar, temenin, gaes," pinta Ari even follow.
"Where's the toilet?" ask Danu.
"Eum.
"Seriously? Tau from where? You're wrong, Don!" threaten Danu's.
"I don't believe it at all. I've been here."
"Ngapain, who? When anyway? How do I not know?"ask Kiki to investigate.
"Mampus lu, Don," Ari said.
"Oh my goodness, beb. Playing basketball at that time. I told you, play in this school."
Kiki nodded in confidence.
"Eh, she said she's a cute chick, isn't she, Don?" ask Sion.
"Wuih, the mantep deh anyway..."
Buuuggg!!
Kiki nudged Doni's stomach until Doni grimaced in pain.
We laughed to see it.
Radit looks different, he's quieter than usual. I was wondering, what was he talking about with that guy? Uh figure earlier.
And Arkana???
I looked for him, but I could not find him anywhere.
"Eh... Who the hell??" show Dedi.
There was someone still in school uniform running to our right and up the stairs.
"Ngapain is a child? Malem malem gini?"
"Eh, people aren't they?"chirps Ari.
"Tha ? Den?? Where's Arden?"asked Dedi while wailing over here and there.
"Sir Arden again received a call from mba Alya tuh in front. There's no signal here" I said.
"Yes my.. Wanna do it!!!" peekik Danube.
We looked up, in the direction Danu pointed.
And the student was standing on the edge of the 3rd floor wall while stretching his hands to the side.
"Not done!! Help, come on!!"take Dion, and we run straight to the 3rd floor.
The school atmosphere looks lonely.
We hurried up to the top floor to prevent the student from jumping
Because it was very visible he wanted to jump down, aka suicide.
But until the 3rd floor, Radit pulled my hand and stopped me from running like the others.
"Why?"
Radit simply pointed towards the basketball court below with his chin.
When I turned my head, there was a student standing under the basketball hoop.
He kept silent.
I kept running who dong was.
Radit and I looked at each other. Radit shook his head slowly at me.
"Gaa... Going back to us." I shouted to those who were looking for the whereabouts of the student.
"Why, Tha? Ni belom children met you know," said Kiki.
"Udah, don't look for it."
"Why?"
"Yep, just go back." I pulled Kiki's hand.
"Woiii.. go back yuk!!" take Radit to the others.
They came closer with us.
"Where's the madness gone, son?"
"Yes, what a pussy. Just fucked up."
Because indeed the school uniformed student was really not seen the trunk of his nose. We looked for him in every room on this floor.
"Udah yuk's. Turn around. Brother Arden has been waiting in the parking lot" I said while looking at my phone.
I took Kiki, the others followed us from behind.
When we were going down the stairs, the student was standing there looking down.
I stopped my steps and kept looking at him confused.
"Geez, Aretha.. Put on a stop anyway?" ari's grumble was walking behind me exactly.
"That... That.." whined Kiki while continuing to hold the edge of my shirt.
"Sstt'' hinted that he would stop whining, because I couldn't think of such a situation.
"demons must be, '" murmured Dion.
"Eh.. diem!!!" said Ari ketus.
"Where's dong..." Kiki panicked.
Duh, I'm dizzy.
I don't know why I'm always nervous first when I meet this one.
Sometimes the rich can't think with a cold head.
Radit held my hand, I turned to him.
He nodded confidently, then pulled me up the stairs, and sauntered past the figure just like that.
Another friend of mine ended up doing the same thing we did.
Even with a little fear, we also managed to reach the bottom floor.
Buuuughhg!!!!
There was a sound of thumping on the ground, when we turned our heads it turned out that the student had jumped from above and was now lying just on the ground. Blood was flowing through the surrounding land.
"Luck!" peekik Ari who was starting to get scared.
"Toilett!!! It's on the end!" whining Kiki.
"Yes, hunted. Go to the toilet" show Doni.
We're a little rushed to the toilet first. While Kiki was in the toilet we looked at the situation around us. Fear of approaching.
After all had finished the business in the toilet, we immediately headed to the front field where the car was parked.
However, as we passed the classroom not far from the toilet, we heard activity inside.
A full class is filled with students and teachers who are teaching.
However, their appearance was strange. Her clothes are old. They were silent with no expression. Their faces were pale and there was blood on their heads and bodies.
"Shiiit!!!" peekik Doni's.
Those in the class turned to us.
We immediately shouted and ran as fast as he could to the car park.
Arriving near our car, ngosan.
"Haduhh crazy... A very heart spot!!" rfor Kiki while leaning next to the car.
"It's all right, Don!!" cibir Ari's.
"Why me???"
"Wear the sound show... I know us!!" grouse Dion.
"Eh uh uh.. on where the hell is it?wanted too!!" brother Arden looked at us in wonder.
"Udah yuk back," Radit asked while looking at the 3rd floor that we had climbed.
There the figure was waving his hand at us.
Be present... Serem this is a school.
We then went home with an irregular heart.
\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=
The morning..
After I prayed at dawn, I heard a loud noise outside. Out of curiosity I went out of the room.
When I opened the door, Radit was there with his parents.
I don't know why my heart is beating so fast, because it's a very strange thing, if Radit comes here with his parents too.
Feel rich to apply.
*eh ngarep.
I got close to them, there was a father, a mother, Arden's sister, Radit and Radit's parents.
When I got close to them, Radit looked at me and threw a smile at me.
Radit looks calmer, not looking rancid.
Maybe because there are parents. But--it seems like since last night she's kind of become quiet.
They're having a serious conversation.
"Wait a minute, said the mother, then the mother took her phone and like contacting someone.
I pulled Arden's arm sitting next to me, "what the hell's the matter, brother?" ask me while whispering.
Brother Arden smiled, "you'll know too, grandfather."
Radit, sitting in the chair opposite me, just smiled at me.
What the hell is this?
Until before long there was the sound of cars outside, not only 1 but there were some I thought. Because there are so many people outside.
Enter Joseph's father into the house with Bude Rahma and Aisha's brother as well, and behind them there was a sir de Adam and his family. There are several others who also wear a robe, as commonly worn by Pakde yusuf. Looks like they're from the same boarding school as Mr. De Yusuf.
How many.
The entire sofa in the living room is removed and replaced with carpet.
I'm getting confused.
"Bun.. What the hell is it?" maksa tanyaku.
Mother smiled '"Radit ..."
"Why??"
"Radit wants to convert to Islam, Tha"
My heart stopped beating.
Even until I pressed my chest withholding the taste that somehow and how I explained it.
"Huh? Radite? How can?"many wonder.
"Yes could.. His name is also dapet hidayah." between Joseph's father who stood behind me chimed in.
We all sat there and watched Radit read the two sentences of the shahada out loud and confident.
I got goosebumps and almost everything here shed its tears.
The mood became haru.
Radit embraced Islam because of the incident during a coma yesterday, he said, he seemed lost somewhere, he was alone and he often heard the chanting of the holy verse of the Koran. And it turns out that what he heard was me, because as long as he was in a coma, I always recited the Koran for him.
Especially after coming home from the hospital, he met a figure we met at SMU yesterday.
Radit felt he wanted to convert to Islam and learn all about Islam.
I cried to see this in front of me.
Congratulations Radit, may be a good start to your life later.
And-for our relationship too.
*h...
Flashbacks
\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=
I'm waiting for Aretha to pray ashar in a mushola.
We watched a pension event at a state university in our city.
As usual I just sit outside the mosque if he is performing his worship, sometimes I also take care of his bag or luggage.
And this isn't the first time I've done this.
We have been in this condition many times.
Aretha also sometimes accompany me if there is an event held in the church.
Ever since I first met Aretha, I somehow couldn't turn my back on her.
She's different from the woman I've met all along.
He's unique.
And I'm comfortable with him.
For the rest, I don't know why I like him. All I know is that when I'm with him, I can always smile, I can always be myself, without being what he wants me to be.
I also always tell him my complaints. He always listened faithfully to all my stories.
And one thing's for sure, he's always patient with all my nature and attitude that is sometimes still childish.
But sometimes he also always acts spoiled too.
So the point is, he can always put himself in various situations and conditions.
Speaking of our religious differences, this is nothing new to me.
Because my mom used to be a Muslim.
Mama converted because she married Papah. So in a big family, all are Muslims.
Being bored, I just played the game in my hape.
Then there was a middle-aged father who looked like an ustadz passing in front of me.
It smells fragrant as fragrant as kasturi. He looked at me.
"No prayers, ma'am?"
I'm shocked to rush to keep my phone on me, "no sir. I am waiting for Temen. I am non-Muslim."
He smiled and sat down next to me.
We talked for a long time, and I felt comfortable talking to him.
"Yg inside, his girlfriend huh?" ask him to arrive.
I was asked like that, "eh-eum.. Not really sir. But-- yeah that's it." I scratched my head confused how to answer it.
He smiled at me, "There is no religion that teaches evil to its adherents. Every religion spreads goodness. And that soul mate is already determined by the creator. "
"Can I match up with him sir?" I asked while staring at the aretha that is still in the mushola.
"Insha Allah.. For now, don't be too passionate about pursuing human love. Love the creator first, then HE will send the one who loves you because of HIS."
I quietly digested every sentence from him.
The word said is true.
"I have a book for you. Maybe useful." then he gave me a rather thick book.
I look at the cover, and I touch every inch of this book.
"I'll say yes."
He went into the mosque.
"Ditt's..." Aretha came, and I put the book in my jacket.
\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=
I woke up in a very strange place alone. Darkened.
I think I was in a forest.
I kept walking to find a way out.
But I always felt like I was being stalked and followed by someone. Many times I looked back, but I found no one there.
Where am I at this?
I feel like I've never been in a forest like this. There was a black shadow peering behind the tree beside me.
In the tree there is also a woman sitting on a branch while swaying her legs.
She was also seen carrying a baby in her arms. Her clothes are dull white. His face was pale white with black eyes.
He just kept quiet while looking at me sharply. But I kept walking away from him.
Hihihihihihi
He laughed so hard that I closed my ears. Because his voice is so deafening.
Sound system lost.
I shuddered a little and ran away. When I looked, there was a big hole in his back. Maybe that's called a sundel bolong.
I was speeding up my steps. I wish he hadn't come after me.
Before long there was the sound of children running around me.
There are some children without clothes, only wearing diapers. They laugh like ordinary children. But I still feel they are strange.
It seems, everything I meet here is a subtle creature.
I kept walking to find a way out. Several times I leaned against the big tree I met. To just unwind. I feel like I've walked a long way and a long time, but I didn't find a way out of this forest.
The night does not change in the morning. I'm sure I've been walking for a long time.
Astral beings also appear several times.
Afraid? Definitely lah.
It's a good thing I'm used to Aretha, so meeting 'them' is nothing new to me.
As if you can still jaim it little if you meet them, it will not be as great as Ari deh the point.
My breath was short because of fatigue that was not restrained anymore.
My energy is drained.
I have no hope anymore. Maybe I'll be here forever.
Until faintly faint I heard someone's voice.
Well-right. It's someone's voice.
He was like humming.
Eh-no!!
That's not humming. That's the voice of the teaching man.
Reading quran.
But where is it?
Then there are still humans besides me here.
I continued walking, now I found my purpose.
I need to find the source of that voice.
The more I walked, the closer I got to the source of the sound.
Until I saw a shining door.
The voice of the man became clearer.
And when I opened the door, the light was very bright and made my eyes glare.
And before long, I woke up in the hospital.
There was Aretha by my side and a bit panicked even to the point of crying.
Before I knew it, it was like I heard him calling me "ay".
Well, I must have been dreaming.
I just found out that I've been in a coma for a week because of yesterday's accident.
And Aretha was always here with me.
He also often recited the Koran to me.
Could it be the voice I've been hearing all this time?
\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=
I can go home today. The same house.
Everyone came to pick me up.
Surprisingly, I was getting more and more intense looking at the astral beings around me.
Usually I only see a shadow, but now I really clearly see 'them'.
Wherever 'they' are, I always see it.
Everything was evident and clear when we were at an High School when Aretha and the others prayed maghrib there.
Not only are astral beings ugly, some of the figures I see are good I also see clearly.
And I also had a conversation with someone named Hardjo's eyes. He said he was the brother of Eyang Prabumulih. Maybe I'll ask Aretha tomorrow.
But, how can it be like this?
When I got home, I threw my body in bed.
I remember ustadz Faizal at that time.
Ah--book!!
I'm looking for the book he gave me.
I don't know why he gave me the book.
But I like reading it.
The book explains islam. But it's very easy for me to understand. In terms of interpretation and explanation it looks interesting and makes me not bored to read it.
I even read it all night.
And there are also some exemplary stories of the prophets.
Especially the prophet muhammad SAW.
It's true to be a new idol for me.
Plus because I often accompany Aretha to the mushola. Sometimes I busy myself by reading the book there while waiting for him to finish praying.
\=\=\=\=\=
At 03:00
I closed the book, my eyes glazed over inexplicably.
It feels like there is a deep sadness and longing that I feel right now.
And one thing is for sure, I love Islam more and more.
I grabbed my phone and I sent a message to Mr. Yusuf.
[Sorry sirde, Radit interrupted the morning blind like this]
[What's up, Dit?]
[Radrite... I want to convert to islam]
Kriii
Pakde called me right then.
"Yes sir..."
"What did you say???"
"Radit wants to convert to Islam."
"Seriously? Eums.. If you can know the reason? It's not Aretha, is it?"
"No, Pakde.. Maybe aretha's one of the 1 reasons, but that's not the main one."
"So?"
I told everything that's happened to me all this time to Mr. Joseph.
"Subhanallah... Sirde help ya, Dit.."
"Yes, sir.. Please yes."
"But what are your parents? do they agree?"
"Agreed or no. Radit's decision is unanimous. Radit's big and free to choose what Radit thinks is best, right, sir?"
"Hmmm. Yeah.that's right.. Yes, that is it. In the morning, you go to Aeetha's house. We do it there. Pakde's house is being renovated. Messy."
"Yes,pakde.. Thanks a lot, yeah.."
"Yes, Radit."
After the phone was switched off, I went straight out of the room to Mamah & Papah's room.
Tok
"Paaaah"
I opened the door to their room, and I saw Papah and mama still sleeping.
I want to go back to my room, but I have to tell papah and mama about my decision.
I sat on the side of the bed beside Mom.
My tears were spilling right then and there.
Mom soon woke up and was shocked to see me crying.
"Lho... Why are you, Dit? Is anyone sick?"ask mama worried.
"Not really, mah" I said.
"Paaaahs... Papaaaah.. Wake up.. This is Radit why???"
Mamah swayed the papah's body, and papah was awakened as well.
Papa rubbed his eyes and looked at me in astonishment.
"Why the hell? That meek?like a little boy," muttered papah meaning to suck me up.
My father is like me, he likes to joke.
"Byeah, paaaah.. Radit wants permission.."
"Yin? Not going to school.. Yes no papa.." samber papah.
A plaaakkk!
"Father ih.. Very idle.. Radit wasn't done talking.." said mamah annoyed, "how, Dit. Dozen."
"Radith... I want to convert to Islam," I said with my voice lowered.
Papah and Mama were silent for a moment.
Papah clasped my shoulder firmly,"you're up, Dit. It is your right to choose what religion you belong to. I'm sure you have a good reason for that. Papah will not be banned.. Whatever you think is best for yourself, go ahead." papah's advice.
I looked up at my face, then I hugged Papah.
My mom hugged me too.
"Wait.."The father let go of his embrace and looked on while thinking," this is because the girl is?"
"Ih.. Papahs.. Lah not.. Time because of Aretha.he is the reason to so many.."
"Continue?"tanya papah.
"Radit's comfortable with Radit's choice now reward, and Radit's also convinced, this is the best."
Papah smiled," that's good.. Papah will always support you..!!"
\=\=\=\=\=\=\=
The next morning we went to the house of Aretha, because Joseph had made a covenant.
I deliberately did not contact Aretha.biar just.
Let him be curious, he's his son. But jaim really.hehehe.
My heart is pounding, the atmosphere is very solemn, many come here. I didn't expect it to be like this. He said the moment when someone converted to Islam, will be a sacred moment and blessed by God, for him, and for those who witnessed it.
Pakde led me to say the shahadah.
'Asyhadu an laa ilaaha illallah wa asyhadu anna Muhammad Rasuulullah.'
It means: 'I testify that there is no God but Allah and I testify that Muhammad is the apostle (messenger) of Allah.'
Now I am a Muslim.
I feel like I'm reborn.
May I remain Istiqomah and continue to be better in the future.
Amyn.
