Innalilahi Wa Inna ilaihi Raji. He has returned to Rahmatullah the father of Haj Aji Santoso bin Jihan Azhar. The announcement from the mosque was heard after the congregational Fajr prayers. Our family is still busy preparing for Abah's funeral which plans to be carried out ba'da Zuhur.
Abah is a boy born into a lower-middle-class economic family. He has nine brothers. His father was a pelvic coolie, while his mother worked as a laundry laborer to help the family's economy. The number of children and the demands of life are so high that two parents Abah less attention, plus the brother is not a child who stands out in the academic field. A little teaching ability that makes Abah finally focus on the science of religion. Unfortunately, his parents are unable so that Abah can not continue to go to the boarding school he likes, Abah instead stranded in an orphan cabin where more devotion than learning. But for the sake of being able to change the pulse, Abah continued to undergo with perseverance.
The harshness of life sometimes makes Abah jealous of children who can go to school at will but the facilities remain abundant. That's why Abah is so obsessed with being a rich man through the path of an ustadz. Abah's dream can be a respected scholar with many worshipers. Has a big pesantren and ta'lim council with thousands of worshipers. Abah also always hoped that every year he could take the Hajj to impress his worshipers.
Marrying your mother is one of the ways Abah achieves her dreams. Mother is the child of ustadz who became Abah's teacher. Initially, Abah actually targeted the daughter of Kyai, but because Abah was just an ordinary santri, his proposal was rejected. Abah is increasingly vengeful and hopes that one day he can make Pak Kyai regret for refusing him.
Obsession referred to as a pious man made Abah so pressuring his family. All must submit to Abah. He was so afraid that his son was naughty that it became the lips of people. So Abah was so harsh that we felt we committed violations even though it was not a fatal mistake.
I was the kid who argued the most, almost got kicked out of the family. Abah even said he regretted having a child like me because I never wanted to follow what Abah said because I had my own way to achieve my goals. In contrast to bang Sigit who always obeyed although he finally rebelled also by making a big mistake that is to have children out of wedlock.
If there is someone to blame, it is the brother who is so restrictive. Even a Sigit bang that was that big alone had to do everything Abah wanted. It is true what people say, the more imprisoned he will one day do a big rebel that makes everything destroyed.
Now, Abah's obsession can no longer be realized. Abah hopes to be the most flattered person because of his distress even become a person who had been insulted by allying with the jinn through shamans.
As a child, I was devastated to see the condition of Abah who had entered the RSJ. I know a lot of people who call Abah, insult and even laugh. But I was a little relieved because at the end of his life, Abah managed to get out of it all. Abah truly repented and we hope that his repentance will be accepted.
Now, I'm in front of the people on pilgrimage, apologizing for your wrongdoing. I was sad when I accidentally heard some people who came whispering whispering whispering, wanting to see how the doom you got. However, so good is Allah to Abah, there is not the slightest right that can cause slander to occur to the body of Abah. We even felt light to let Abah go.
Mas Yanuar, the eldest, who accompanied his father, came straight to me. "I'm sorry about our father, Ben. Sometimes, revenge makes a person ruin his life. I've often reminded that everything is forgotten, but I'm stubborn. Today, before coming here, my father said his satisfaction because he could finally let go of his grudge with the death of Mr. Aji. But once again sorry Ben, I hope, our parents' enmity doesn't spread to us kids. You've been kind to help reunite our family. So please do not take heart what my father said "pinta mas Yanuar while holding my hand.
"Yes, I understand. I will not take heart. I also appreciate the efforts of the mas to help reconcile our Abah with Pak Diki. But it seems like the anger is so great that we can't cool their hearts. But I am still relieved because finally Mr. Diki forgave Abah too." I said.
"Louars!" Call Mr. Diki from outside. "Let's go home soon. What else are you doing there? The body will rise!" added the old man. "You too, hurry home when you have served him. I know, you're just here to see Aji Diazab's body, right? Ckckck, you gossip mogul. Less is it your bad nature so that it will not backfire for you!" Mr. Diki said to the mourners who were sitting around.
Astagfirullah. I and Yanuar both said Istighfar hearing the rambling of Mr. Diki which was quite ugly. After that, Yanuar hurriedly said goodbye, because it was not nice if his father returned to chattering inviting the attention of guests who came to visit. Before leaving, Yanuar whispered that his sister would come to help here in his place. Actually Yanuar also wanted to help, at least until Abah was buried, but his father would not allow, after all his father needs more attention at this time, almost the same as Abah's previous condition. That is why it must be intensely accompanied.

Eating Abah is between eating mother and bang Sigit. I look forward to seeing the three resting places of those I love. They were back together again as they were when they were alive. But are their conditions okay? Sometimes, we easily commit sins, chasing our self-made obsessions by cheating others, when in the end it is just like this. The final resting place, the burial ground that is only as wide as our bodies. No more than twice a meter.
Abah, for the sake of his obsession to damage himself and his family. Mother, for the sake of the happiness of Abah, destroyed herself and her family. Bang Sigit which since the beginning has been good, but destroyed because it is not strong with pressure from abah. Just be patient and he will win.
Oh Allah ... Somehow the end of my life will be. I just hope to win even though at the beginning there were so many mistakes.
