Me, Dusk, And Falsity
Chapter 8
Memorization
Greetings with the floor were heard in the ears of the participants. The first greeting was immediately brought by the head of the organization, Akhina Dimas. Do not forget he said welcome and thanks to the participants who had been willing to take part in the training.
“ The sister who is close to the same brother Fatimah lo kak ” whispered Zahra to Fisya with his hands pointing to the chairman.
“ Seriously you Ra? ” asked Fisya with a little curiosity. Fisya was surprised to find that the one who was close to Fatimah was the head of their organization.
“ Yes brother seriously he is ” explained Zahra
“ Horrified big brother Fatimah can be close to the chairman ” replied Fisya with a little holding back laughter.
After a welcome from various parties. The show was again followed by singing Indonesia Raya and Mars organization songs. When the song takes place Fisya's eyes accidentally meet the chairman. Fisya thought it was common.
But, over time Fisya felt uneasy as the eyes were always looking at him without looking at him. Finally without thinking Fisya changed his direction to the right side. Fisya is afraid of misunderstanding this incident afraid that there are parties who see them and then become a problem later. Fisya continued singing and lowered his gaze.
The incident suddenly reminded Fisya of someone. Yeah, that weird guy, Hariz. Where's she? He is not a member of this organization. “ Ah...maybe yesterday he just joined and chat for a while ” thought Fisya in heart.
The opening ceremony of Alhamdulillah went well. Everything went as the committee expected. The event continued with dinner together. Tonight the committee only prepared a few light side dishes. Because the participants bring provisions for mini mala.
Dinner is closed with do’a. Some organizers clean the place to eat because it will be used again for materials. While the other committee escorts the participants to perform congregational prayers.
The first material in the mini mala is quite exciting. The committee is very smart to invite speakers who are able to make the atmosphere not monotonous. In the middle of the material Fisya made uncomfortable again with a strange view of the chairman. Not only feeling uneasy this time Fisya was really upset with those eyes that were unceasingly pointing towards him.
“ What's wrong with her?, did she see anything strange with me?, or did I ever accidentally make a mistake with her? It's weird that I never dealt with him even ” with all the frustration Fisya felt. Finally Fisya chose to give up and lower his gaze again.
“ Why brother? ” asked Zahra who knew if her best friend was feeling uneasy from earlier.
I don't want to know Zahra. Fisya also reasoned by saying if he was sleepy and less focused on the material. “ Gak papa Ra. Brother just sleepy, so do not focus this same material ”.
“ Yaudah brother, if you sleepy wipe both hands brother until the heat runs out it sweep into the eyes and face of brother InsyaAllah segeran eyes ”. Zahra also gave tips for Fisya. It was all she did to make her brother feel a little calm.
And of course the tips were directly practiced by Fisya. Unbeknownst to Fisya the eye noticed Fisya who was rubbing both hands into his eyes. But Zahra knew about it. Zahra was increasingly upset by the man's behavior. “ Basic eye jelelalatan ” monologue Zahra in heart.
The first material is enough until 10 pm only. The committee does not want to be too memporsis the participants. Before resting and going up to their rooms. The committee conveyed one piece of information. The contents of the information are the announcement of the task of depositing and memorizing Surah An-Naba’ verses 1-40.
The memorization can be deposited to the committee of the nanny of each room. The last time of depositing until the last day of training. After the information is clearly conveyed, the committee also closed the mini mala material with do’a and disperse participants to rest.
“ Very nice lo Ra no ngafal you again PMS ” with envy Fisya nudged Zahra's shoulder.
“ Ye not also times brother, I even want to ship with the others ” Zahra very evasive with the statement that Fisya said for him. Yes, because Zahra Alhamdulillah has memorized the surah and Fisya also knows about it.
“ Yes to Ra ”
They've reached the top floor. Zahra cleans herself into the bathroom. While Fisya who still has ablution directly take the Qur’annya and towards the corner of the window. Fisya also sat facing the window, incidentally, the window was not closed. Fisya also felt the night angina hit him as if accompanying him to memorize the surah.
Fisya read one by one these verses. He slowly memorized them one by one. Beyond a doubt Fisya deliberately resisted his sleepiness in order to memorize at night. People say at night the best time to memorize, because memory is so good it records what we see, hear, and memorize. But, Fisya was wrong he could not consent and even more sleepy and not consent.
Fisya has as much focus as possible. He did not want to give up he had to get a mini mala memorization even though only 10 verses. A few minutes later can successfully focus and Alhamdulillah get memorization of 5 verses. The fish added its focus again. To the extent that there was a sound from the side that was so shocking to him.
“ Brother sleeping brother already at night lo. Tomorrow only ” Zahra suddenly comes from an unexpected direction.
“ Yes Ra ” Fisya also finally obey the words of Zahra. Because honestly Fisya also needs rest now he is very tired today.
Fisya also closed the Qur’annya put in place that should. Fisya did not go straight to sleep he went down to the toilet to take ablution first. Thank God it is now a good habit of Fisya. Before going to bed, he must ablaze and brush his teeth.
There was a Ustad telling him. Sleep in a state of holiness or ablution because death no one knows, it could be when we wake up from sleep we are already in a state of may. But, we must be grateful at least we died in a state of holiness and clean because of ablution.
