MY WORLD YOUR WORLD
Longing Medicine
I was 15 years old, had just graduated Mts and now I proceed to the boarding school. My meeting with Abah's son made me know love and loyalty. At a young age, I secretly hoped to marry him. Even though it felt like a dream to me.

That day Gus Azmi invited ustadz Qosim to go to Tulungagung to meet his friend Sulton. At the same time want to know the news of beloved lover, Najwa Qumaira.
"Have Miss Gus permission?" Remember Qosim before leaving.
"Had, he allowed it." Honest Gus Azmi.
Without asking too many questions, they left immediately. At 07.00 WIB they left and arrived quite late at noon. Hp Qosim continues to sound, sometimes SMS tones sometimes phone tones.
"Who's the sim, from earlier the sound of your mouth?" gus Azmi asked curiously.
"Who is Gus Tow? Just a friend..," replied Ustadz Qosim casually.
"Hayoooo...., don't-don't already have a boyfriend huh you?" janda Gus Azmi.
"No.., just a friend of Gus.., a moment yes..," said Qosim because he wanted to contact his friend.
Gus Azmi did not care about it and immediately greeted Sulton who had been waiting for him at the door of his house.
"Sulton.., asap...,"
"Waalaikumsalam.., let's get Gus in.., monggo (mari)...."
"Yes thank you..," Gus Azmi follows Sulton.
"Ustadz Qosim did not enter Gus?"
"He's still calling someone, he's coming in later, too" Gus Azmi said.
"OOO.., YEAH...,"

After a long time Gus Azmi and Sulton chat then Ustadz Qosim entered the house.
"Have you got the phone?" Syndir Gus Azmi.
"There was something important just now" said Ustadz Qosim expressionlessly.
"Come on Gus, we worship first..., have entered nduhur..., what would the congregation here in mushola mbak Najwa?" seductive Sulton with a smile.
"What's good about it?" Gus Azmi asked.
"By the sire of the.., I crank (follow) only." Unmistakably.
"Come jama'ah sim, meet here...." Take Gus Azmi.
"Monggo..," Ustadz Qosim asserted Gus Azmi's proposal.
"Basar Gus Azmi fell in love.., I got invited here just to see the face of her lover." Grunts ustadz Qosim in heart.
Najwa's house is not far from Sulton's, so they are just walking. Gus Azmi's heart was very nervous mixed with pleasure because finally after a week of restrained kangen, Gus Azmi could see Najwa's face again. Sulton said all members of the Najwa family are required to worship Abah every prayer 5 times. So it is likely that Najwa participated in worship at the time of the dhuhur prayer.
Gus Azmi hopes to see Najwa. Because he was very tortured when he could not know the news of his lover. Fortunately, he had a semester off along with the cottage vacation yesterday. So it is not disturbed by the illness of love that he experienced.
His days were just daydreaming, staying in the room while looking at Najwa's videos that he kept on his laptop and phone. Once the mother asked Gus Azmi to deliver the parcel to Ziza's house, and asked her to suwan to Abah Ziza.
As usual Gus Azmi invites ustadz Qosim who is already like his own brother. Wherever he went, as long as there was no need, surely he invited ustadz Qosim. But while there Gus Azmi felt uncomfortable with Ziza's timid views and different attitudes. Ziza acted as if she was meeting her lover, whereas Gus Azmi had never once contacted Ziza since Najwa was jealous. Ziza's number was blocked to avoid slander from Najwa. Only Ustadz Qosim was kind to Ziza, and welcomed Ziza's welcome. Occasionally ustadz Qosim reminded Gus Azmi not to frown directly in front of Ziza, but could not. True said Najwa, for a relative of Ziza is too free with him, and he thinks too presumptuous. While they have no more relationship.

While waiting for iqomah, Gus Azmi back to play his drug hp. Suddenly the fragrance of Najwa smelled in his sense of smell, he headed for the mushola. He knew this, as soon as he researched around looking for the whereabouts of Najwa. And the beautiful face of Najwa was looking for his sandals to go to the mosque. From afar Gus Azmi observes her lover, truly beautiful. Her shining face, her cracked lips, and her graceful steps. Instantly his heart pounded, his heart beat tight and his lips were silent as if locked. Najwa, he finally saw his long-lost lover.
Najwa himself did not know that Gus Azmi was in his family's mosque. But he felt that someone was watching him from earlier. When Najwa looked ahead he was really shocked.
"Gus Azmi...? Is this a hallucination again? Oh Allah.., why I became err because of love. But she's very similar to him...?" murmured heart.
Najwa tried to rub his eyes and see more clearly.
"But why is it so similar?" Najwa is getting closer trying to research.
"This is a dream or what? How's it really like?" Najwa pinched his cheek and got sick.
"Ouch!"
Gus Azmi who saw Najwa's strange behavior smiled to himself.
"Assalamualaikum..," said Gus Azmi hinted to Najwa because they were quite far away.
"God...!" Najwa's little scream shocked her mother.
"What wa? Why?" Najwa's mother is confused.
"It's nothing umi, there's an ant biting my leg.., it hurts..." he said.
"Come on, I want iqomah." Take Najwa's mom.
"Yes umi," Najwa followed.
On the terrace of the mosque Gus Azmi observed the sitting position of Najwa and Alhamdulillah, he was right on the border of the satire of male and female masters. So Gus Azmi immediately looked for a place to cross with Najwa.
The fragrance that Najwa often smelled was now at his side. Najwa was well aware that Gus Azmi was beside him bordering the satire of the mushola.
His body trembled and his heart creeped out whether out of happiness or fear, all mixed into one. Suddenly he put something beside Najwa. Cute little gift. Najwa took the gift and kept it.
"Thank you for bringing him here, O God, the medicine of my heart has come.." thank goodness Najwa.
"Wait a minute." pinta Gus Azmi.
Gus Azmi kept looking at Najwa, from the exit of the mosque to the entrance of his house. Najwa did not dare to look at him out of fear and shame, all mixed into one.
"Basic, love is crazy!" teasing ustadz Qosim in heart.
"Come on Gus, the Najwa's mom is in.., let's go back." Bring Sulton.
Gus Azmi let out a sigh of relief.
"Come," Gus Azmi moved from her seat. But suddenly Abah Najwa greeted them.
"This is you yesterday, right?" Ask Abah Najwa.
"Sir, yes sir," replied Ustadz Qosim.
"They're my friends ustadz, from Jombang." Sulton.
"Ooo..., Monggo...!" Tawar Abah Najwa's.
"Thank you sir." replied Ustadz Qosim.
Gus Azmi was afraid that Abah Najwa would recognize him as the son of Kyai Qomarudin.
"Come on.." forced Abah Najwa they finally followed.
***
"Same...! There's guests...!" Call her.
"Yes bah...,"
"Come on monggo.., please sit down...."
"Who is Abah?" Najwa's mother approached.
"This is a low friend of Sulton, who yesterday umi asked for nights..," explained Abah Najwa.
"OOO..," Najwa's mother greeted them while remembering. Then go back.
"Sulton is santri father, as well as still a relative." The light of Abah Najwa broke the silence.
"Yes ustadz..," answered Sulton ta'dzim.
"After returning from Langitan, he also I invited him here.", he added.
"You're friends from Langitan's cabin too?" ask Abah Najwa.
"Yes sir, I am a Langitan alumnus." replied Gus Azmi kalem.
"Now where are you?"
"I'm still learning sir, teach the children." replied Gus Azmi humbled.
"What kids? I just lost with Gus, even though I have taught for a long time than the njenengan." grumbled ustadz Qosim in heart.
"It is good, if not used even the danger of science. At least use it to teach our children later, like me. My son is 4 and until now still learning to teach as well..," said Abah Najwa no less humble.
"Aah ustadz could have been..,"Sulton smiled in response to his joke.
"Alhamdulillah., he does not recognize me." Thank goodness Gus Azmi is in the heart.
***
In the room Najwa immediately opened a small gift from him, which turned out to be a necklace. It is only made of aluminum monel, but the small gift has made Najwa happy. Gus Azmi is still not working, so it is not surprising that he gives gifts as much as possible.
"Najvas...! Help mom son, there's a guest." Call Najwa's mom.
"Yeah...! Wait a minute." Najwa put the necklace on and put it under his shirt. Then immediately meet his mother.
"Who are the guests?" Ask Najwa while helping umi prepare hot water.
"Friend ustadz Sulton, the neighbor across..," explained Najwa's mother.
"OOO...m Sulton tow?" Najwa already knew Sulton because before going to the cottage they both taught at the madrassa.
Najwa will deliver the drinks they've made, but it's not usual for mom to forbid it.
"Let mother, you take care of Zahra yes." ordered Najwa's mother and her mother to hurry away.
"Any? Usually you always ask me to serve, why is it suddenly forbidden?" ask Najwa's heart.
Out of curiosity Najwa secretly peeked inside the house.
Najwa was really surprised by his making, it turns out that Gus Azmi and Ustadz Qosim came with Sulton to visit his house.
Seen Abah chatting a lot with them, Najwa looked at the face of Gus Azmi from inside the house while holding his sister.
"He is really handsome and polite, his face looks shady and wise.... Show me your best path...." Pinta Najwa in the heart while holding the pendant necklace he gave earlier.
Not long they say goodbye. Najwa wanted to ban him because he still misses him. But all that was impossible, he was a nobody and had not been a nobody to Najwa. With a heavy heart Najwa can only say greetings from inside the house.
"Be careful Gus, thank you for treating my longing.... I love Gus Azmi." Najwa said in his heart.
