KUINGIN

(Kupersembahkan untuk saudara-saudaraku alumni PGAN 28 Jakarta)

Ketika fajar menyingsing di timur

Kuingin persaudaraan ini semakin subur

Ketika mentari terbit di ufuk

Kuingin persaudaraan ini bisa terus dipupuk

Ketika kumembuka mata

Kuingin alumni PGA bisa terus bersama

Ketika angin bertiup lembut

Kuingin komunikasi bisa terus saling bersambut

Ketika senja menjelang

Kuingin kebersamaan ini terulang

Ketika malam telah larut

Kuingin semangat kebersamaan tak pernah surut

Ketika kutertidur lelap

Kubermimpi teman-teman semakin akrab

Ketika petir menyambar

Kuingin persaudaraan ini tak menjadi hambar

Ketika langit mendung

Hasrat bersama tak lagi terbendung

Ketika hujan mengguyur bumi

Kuingin persaudaraan ini terus bersemi

Ketika kupandang gelombang samudera

Semangat persaudaraan ini semakin menggelora

Aisha's mother was busy preparing for her youngest daughter's wedding. Simple house that was built bit by bit of setting aside some of his salary as a civil servant has been more lively. The walls of the house inside and outside are painted new. Special bridal chamber had such renovation. Beds, cupboards, and a dressing table is ready. A week before the wedding day, an invitation was spread out. For the in-laws-laws and close relatives were invited friend to send an envoy immediately. Preparation of the kitchen was already complete.

Candidate-in-law a 32-year-old bachelor. He lived and worked in the capital. Reportedly, their economic well-established enough to build a home. While the 24-year-old daughter and recently won teacher of undergraduate colleges in the capital of the province where he is domiciled. They fixed up by both parents, not through courtship.

Two days before the wedding day, the prospective in-law had not yet returned from Jakarta. Somehow Ms. Ayesha worried. Sometimes bad thoughts arise, how about a candidate until D-day in-law did not appear. Hastily thrown the bad thoughts. After every obligatory prayer, Mrs. Aisha did not forget to pray so that what is feared is not the case.

Afternoon the day before D-day, prospective in-law had not yet come home. Perhaps the delay plane. Ms. Ayesha night could not sleep. Early in the morning he phones home besannya candidate, had not yet returned. At that time there was hope, I hope the prospective in-law came home with the morning flight from Jakarta. However, hopes in vain, even until the night was prospective in-law has not yet appeared. In fact, the marriage should have been implemented Bakda Zhuhur.

What a shame, sadness, and disappointment Ms. Aisha. Moreover, her daughter, she was very upset. As a teacher of religion at a public elementary school, Mrs. Aisha try steeled her heart and kindly thought to Allah SWT. "... Perhaps you hate something, but he is very good for you, and may be (too) ye love a thing, but it is very bad for you; Allah knows, and ye know not." (Surah 2: 216).

Aisha's mother tried to comfort her daughter, hoping there is wisdom behind the event. A few days later, Mrs. Aisha knew that the prospective in-law seems to have dated for a few years with her choice in Jakarta, but her mother did not merestuinya. Do not want to disappoint her mother, she received the candidate who looked for his mother. But, apparently he felt guilty with her boyfriend. The closer to the day of his return, he increasingly felt guilty and eventually canceled her wedding in the village.

Less than a month, Mrs. Aisha the news that the prospective in-law committed suicide. Apparently he was being chased by a sense of guilt to the mother and father, both prospective bride and in-laws. Finally, Satan beat him.

On the one hand, Ms. Aisha is concerned, but on the other hand he secretly realizes this is the secret of why God does not approve of her arranged marriage with a young man of weak faith and a brief thought. That is the lesson from the case of Mrs. Aisha. Sangkalah kind enough to Allah SWT.
