Yesterday, though,

After deciding

to stay away, I remember you too often.

For a moment my memory was always fixed on the grip I let go when the rain fell on us.

Then,

That's how I do it

So that I can really get off

From you.

You must know

My reason for staying away that time

Wasn't he?

Do you know that?

Every rain, every fraction

The water that comes down is my memory always

It boils down to regret.

I always wish I could

Back to that time and no

Let go of something I should have been looking after.

Until, my regrets are over.

The rain that fell that afternoon,

I carry my regrets

To explore the place where I

Decided everything.

I'm looking for you in the rain.

I searched every place we both went.

I thought you were there and I was hoping

You're waiting for me to bring you an umbrella.

I didn't find you at all🙂

My deepest point of regret was when I decided to stay away but I would eventually look for you too, but I didn't find you.

It didn't get there. Turns out I was wrong. When the falling rain did not hit my body, I looked up.

I found you standing with your sincere smile on me.

And say "Come home".

Tell me what I can say but thank you.

Aisha pov.

I woke up when I heard the door knock. I'm still on the bed.

I saw a clock hanging on the wall of my room.

Ah, it turned out to be half six and I was still wrapped around this blanket.

I feel my back head hurt. I could not have been burdened by the mind of an incriminating mind.

That's why I don't want to study too much in academics that can make my head feel like breaking.

Because I couldn't open the door, the door I didn't lock opened by itself.

The first face I saw was Umi's face.

"Dear."

Umi.

I smile.

"You're so pale hm?"

Umi placed her palm on my forehead.

"Ah, not hot. Still think about last night, huh?"

Umi's guess is right. I'm nodding.

"Sholatlah first son, umi want to tell a story."

I smile.

The thing I like most about Umi is that it helps me solve my problems with her life experience story.

I stood aided by Umi.

I took ablution also assisted by umi for fear of daze and then fell.

After I had finished my duties, I sat back on the bed.

Face to face with umi.

"Well, baby?"

Umi stroked my hair that was not covered by the hijab.

"Umi is."

I'm nodding.

"Umi wants to ask. And umi believes caca will be honest with umi."

I nodded steadily because of everything Umi had ever asked me, I always answered honestly based on what happened exactly.

"Umi's son, like not the same kak azam? There was no vibration when his father said that sacred sentence?"

Now I'm putting my head on Umi's thigh.

"There's an umi, but the one that caca rasain was just a shock to umi."

I answer what it is. That's how I feel.

"Yes, it's natural, baby. Sometimes love will also grow when the contract has been extended. At that time we felt that the person who preached us was the one who dared to bear us in a born and inward manner."

I'm nodding. I've heard stories like that from my graduate school.

"Umi's son, must have a special person dong in his heart. It's a big one, it's a teenager. Although not dating, surely the umi child has a person who reigned in his heart."

Umi gently stroked my fine hair.

"Soalnya umi know from the past, caca just deket same fathan aja. Never caca confide the same about people who like. Or... caca does not want the same story?"

I shook my head quickly.

I held my head up and looked at Umi.

"What caca natural caca story to umi all kok mi."

I answered umi with certainty.

"Ah the beneer? No one's time is special, right? I don't believe umi." Umi's words seemed to skin me.

"Caca has mi."

I finally answered

Umi pursed her lips.

"Hhhmmmff.wfg."

I let out a breath.

"Dear, I'll tell umi."

Umi's look always makes me feel at home.

"Caca dear brother mi."

I covered my face afterwards. Spoons.

"Fathan?"

Like a question from Umi. I'm nodding.

Umi looked back at me with a smile.

"You are so loyal."

Umi pulled my nose.

"Miss.."

I can't hold my heart anymore.

"What's the matter, baby?"

Umi.

"Umi sometimes confused mi. Sometimes I think it's wrong to think what it is."

I was no longer able to hold my tears.

"I don't know, dear."

Umi's forehead looks cluttered. While I've been sobbing.

"When the time bang fathan left, the feeling of caca same bang fathan good aja mi. Caca sometimes think mi, how much is wrong caca bang fathan? How since you left, you never fidgeted caca again mi? Caca is spoiled, huh mi? Caca ngerepotin really big brother huh mi? The first year my brother went and did not give me news, I kept thinking about me. Caca inget inget error what has been done the same brother. But as Caca recalled, Caca never made a very big mistake to my brother. Caca confused mi."

Umi stroked my shaken back.

"Caca tried to be the strongest girl possible. Caca has understood the message of his brother's pesa who was given when caca milad mi. Caca understands why we should not give hope to creatures.

Caca knows about mi.

As much as possible caca became a strong and independent woman without a brother mi.

But at a certain time mi,

Caca can't be umi.

Caca has been trying for 3 years.

Caca has done it."

I snorted.

"Syuuut. Istighfars."

I have a lot of courage in my heart.

"Umi know not? When abi and umi came to tell Caca if anyone wants to sleep with caca, it's a hope full of caca mi. The one who comes is brother. Tapj who did not miss even kak azzam."

Umi silently listened

"Umi, there is no reason to call azzam mi. A man who is well established at a young age. But why does caca always remember bang fathan mi? Last night caca performed the first Istikharah prayer of caca after being proposed. Caca did not see the face of azzam mi. Even Caca always remembers my brother."

I sobbed.

"If you don't like it, you can just say it. Caca can't make azzam sis wait while in the end caca reject azzam sak's proposal."

Umi answered.

"Not umi, I'm afraid later azzam's sister will not be as good at heart as she is."

All I thought about was how to say no to applicants who were already perfect in terms of apalun. I can't possibly refuse on the grounds that I don't love azzam's brother. Wouldn't that love appear after the contract is made?.

"Son,"

Umi looked at me

"Dengerin umi."

I stared at full Umi

"A story comes from the Prophet's daughter, Fatimah Az-Zahra, and Ali Bin Abi Talib."

Umi started telling stories.

" The door of Ali's heart was knocked the first time when Fatimah diligently washed and treated the wounds of her father, Muhammad SAW who was seriously injured due to war.

From there, he was determined to propose to the prophet's daughter. Then he diligently collected money to buy dowry and edit Fatimah. Unfortunately, not even even money Ali to buy Mahar, the friend of the prophet Abu Bakr had already proposed to Fatimah.

Ali was heartbroken, but he realized that this rival had a quality of faith and Islam that was much higher than him. Although known as a valiant Islamic hero, Ali was known to be poor. His life was spent preaching in the way of God.

But the cloud seemed to disappear when Ali heard Fatimah rejected Abu Bakr's proposal.

But Ali's joy was lost again when another close prophet, Umar Bin Khatab, asked Fatimah.

Again Ali could only resign because he could not compete with the mighty Umar.

But fate was back on his side. Umar suffered a similar fate to Abu Bakr.

But at that time Ali did not dare to take a stand, he realized he was just a poor young man. Even the treasure he had was only a set of armor there plus a stockpile of coarse flour to eat it. To Abu Bakr As Siddiq, Ali said,

"O Abu Bakr, you have made my heart shake that was previously calm. You have reminded me of something I have forgotten. By Allah, I willed Fatimah, but the only obstacle for me is that I have nothing."

Abu Bakr was moved and said,

"O Ali, do not say that. To Allah and His Messenger, the world and its inhabitants are nothing but dust!"

Hearing Abu Bakr's answer, Ali's confidence again appeared to propose to his girl as his friends had encouraged Ali to dare to propose to Fatimah.

With hesitation he faced the Prophet.Hadist Umm Salamah narrate how the application process."

Umi breathes.

"After that mi?"

I'm already impatient.

Umi continued on.

"When I saw the face of the Prophet beaming. With a smile he said to Ali ibn Abi Talib,

'O Ali, do you have a dowry?"

"By Allah," replied Ali ibn Abi Talib bluntly, "You yourself know how I am, there is nothing about me that you do not know. I have nothing but an armor, a sword and a camel."

"About your sword" said the Prophet, responding to Ali ibn Abi Talib's reply, "You still need him to continue the struggle in the way of Allah. And your thread you also need for the need to take water for your family and also you need it on a long journey. Therefore, I want to marry you only on the basis of the dowry of an armor. I am satisfied to receive this from your hand. O Ali, you must rejoice, for God has already married you in the heavens before I marry you on earth!".

Thus is the story told by Umm Salamah r.a." Umi told me at length. Then continue

"After everything is ready, with a feeling of contentment and happy heart, and witnessed by the companions, the Prophet uttered the word ijab kabul wedding of his daughter, and,

"That Allah Almighty commanded me to marry thee Fatimah for a dowry of 400 dirhams (the value of an armor). Hopefully you can accept that."

So Ali married Fatimah. Their marriage was full of wisdom despite being waded in the midst of deprivation. It is even mentioned that the Prophet was very moved to see the rough hands of Fatimah because she had to lay siege to the wheat to help her husband." Umi smiled ending her story

"So dear, if that human being is as noble

Umar bin khatab and abu bakar only rejected does not cause revenge, brother azzam in shayah already berap chest

If only Caca had refused."

Umi's words opened my mind.

"Umi, aisyah want istikharah again later."

I'm finally relieved.

I didn't realize that abi was

Heard our conversation behind the door.
