No one knows when God's trials will come, and they will befall anyone. Our confession of faith in God will be tested. Our belief in qada and qadar is not just an expression of the word, but a manifestation that we strongly believe that God exists to govern all things and that no one can oppose his will.
Do not profess faith, if you still challenge Allah for His trials. The sincerity of receiving trials is the embodiment of faith.
God does not test the servant because God hates. But God wants his servant to depend on Him.
A believer does not need a soulmate if he is agitated. Because there is a Quran as a remedy for pain in the soul.
The mentally ill are only those who do not believe in His Lord. Because he was corrupted by his world. He thinks too much of the world, without him knowing what he is for and where he comes from.
Valen was stunned to hear the lecture from the television that was lighting up in the living room. The 69-inch wide and flat screen lit up without anyone watching. The TV was on *channel* muslim tv which was broadcasting a lecture from a famous ustadz.

" *It could be, God will lift our degrees when we sincerely accept the ordeal* "Turn Valen heard the words of ustadz on the tv.
" *Astaghfirullah... !! How ungrateful I am. Why do I only know how to wail without taking wisdom. Forgive me O Allah* !! " Valen muttered while throwing his tired body on the sofa of the family room. He paused his steps towards the second floor to clean his body.
" Look Valen !! " Whoever someone made Valen aware. Instantly the girl opened her closed eyes.
" Mr Ati ?! " Sisses sad. Seen by him, the old woman was standing in front of him with a sad face and puffy eyes.
" Why isn't it clean yet, son ?? Look at your shirt full of blood stains. Your veil has been randomly chanted "Say Bu Ati softly while sitting on Valen's side and rubbing Valen's head slowly. He examined the appearance of his employer's adopted son who looked very chaotic.
" Ready ready, boy !! We're going to the funeral. Neighbors were already crowded in front of "Imbuh Bu Ati reminded Valen.
When Maliq and others came earlier, the neighbors were already crowded in Maliq's house. They flocked to come when they heard the news of the calamity that befell the Maliq family. They've prepared all the funeral processions for the two Maliq babies.

" Why is Dedek called God, Bi ?? Hana wants to play first with Dedek !! " Tukas Hana Again continued to question his two younger siblings. While Hani just silent with her eyes moist and occasionally sobbing.
" For God loves a grandpa. God has prepared a playground in heaven for the grandfather. There Dedek will wait for all of us if the time has come ", said Maliq again gave understanding to his son. Honestly, right now he didn't have the energy to just answer Hana's question. But if he wants to, he must answer and explain to his twins who do not understand about death.
" But-" Hana's speech hangs because the RT sir makes a sound.
" Sir Maliq !! His body is ready to be buried !! " Say the middle-aged man approached Maliq.
" Yes sir !! Let me carry the body of my baby "Tukas Maliq while lowering his twins from his lap.

Valen and Bu Ati and other workers at the Maliq house soon rose up following the others to a public cemetery about a kilo from the Maliq house.
All mourners and family members depart in their own vehicles. What was left in Maliq's house was only a security guard friend Angga and one household assistant.
\*\*\*
Thin drizzle down slowly stroking the soft surface of the earth. Cloudy clouds coiled spoiled at the foot of the horizon as if to feel the sorrow of people in the cemetery area.
Buried are just two small body figures who have not had time to breathe the scent of earth air. But the mourners who came as if the dead were adults.
Almost all neighbors of the complex came to witness the funeral procession of the two Maliq babies. They also feel the grief of people they know very well with neighbors. The empathy of people around, makes Maliq very moved.
" Akmal and Aklima "
The two carved heads of her two babies' names were neatly stuck on a wet mound of dirt in front of Maliq.
Maliq gave Akmal and Aklima names for the babies. Drops of clear liquid came back down profusely soaked the haggard-faced cheeks.
One of the mourners had already left the cemetery. The only ones left are Maliq, Bu Ati, Valen and the twins Hana and Hani.
" It is Istrahatlah who is calm, dear to Abi. Wait for Abi and Umi there !! may Umi and your brother recover quickly, so that Abi will bring them to visit you !! " Say Maliq stammered while stroking the navel of his two children.
Valen and Bu Ati were silent with their eyes puffy while facing the red mound of earth. The hearts of both women in different generations also felt sore hearing the words of Maliq.
" Bi..later get cold here !! " Pirap Hana sobbing. His heart was sad to see his two younger siblings put into a burrow.
" No dear !! Dedek is with God. Dedek is calm and comfortable !! " Tukas Maliq as he kissed the heads of his two children who had not wanted to separate from Maliq.
" Ooh..so, Bi !! Thanks duh... Hana's happy that Dedek likes "Timpal Hana.
" We've already turned back. It seems like soon want maghrib " Say Maliq while standing followed by his son and Bu Ati.
With heavy strides, Maliq left the burial area. There's a sense left there. His heart could not bear to leave his two children who were lying quietly, but his common sense made him aware, this is destiny. As much as possible, he should accept everything.
" Astaghfirullah...!! Why can I forget to tell Mamah and Papah !! " Murmured Maliq rubbed his face rough, as they were already in the car.
Before running his car, Maliq reached into his pocket looking for a cell phone.
He searched for the number of his parents-in-law to report the calamity that befell Syifa and Zian.
There was a stifled shriek and repeated istighfar remarks from across the phone as Maliq reported. Samar heard the sobbing of his female in-laws and the soothing voice of his in-laws.
" Good son.. !! Papah and Mamah will book a plane ticket for tonight" Maliq said in a lethargic voice.
" Yes pah.. !! I hung up the phone first. I have to go back to the hospital again. Be careful on the road, Pah !! " Tukas Maliq closed the call after saying his previous greeting.
Maliq took a breath and ran his car at a moderate speed.
" *Syifa and Maliq are waiting for me at the hospital*" he muttered slowly.
