The Near, The Left

Nothing is more comforting than to see Ahmad then smile Pak Didi, his best friend. Last night, before starting to memorize verses to At-Tauba 57 letters, with a beaming Mr. Didi said that he had followed the advice Ahmad to the doctor. According to the doctor's examination, normal blood pressure. Not too high nor too low. Perhaps the grievances felt Mr Didi was the effect of weather but not too extreme but not friendly enough for someone his age. "Alhamdulillah," Ahmad said softly. This news has been reduced sense of regret in his heart.Friendship is unique, so they are. Mr. Didi, he was more than sixty years. Several years ago, an accident makes the father of seven children two of which had already faced this divine, have lost the use of both eyes. Age half of Mr. Ahmad Didi. They come from different tribes. Mr. Didi Sunda, Ahmad from Java. The two met and became familiar active since pilgrims praying.Although both eyes Pak Didi is now entirely unable to see, but the spirit mengajinya than other pilgrims. If after sunset most of the pilgrims return to their homes, then Mr. Didi remain in place, the left end of the first row, until it comes time Isha. Ahmad is now seen most often accompany Mr. Didi learn to memorize verses of the Quran.Ahmad read, Mr. Didi listen and then memorize, that's what they do. Although readings Ahmad has not been perfect, but Mr Didi was always convinced that no one else could get that close to him. Mr. Didi admitted if accompanied by difficulty memorizing the other pilgrims. Hope God will forgive if they are reading is not perfect, agreed to accompany Mr. Ahmed Didi who is always eager to memorize the Koran. If the verse is not too long, Mr. Didi only took two days to really be memorized. Subhanallah! Currently he has memorized surah Al Waqiah. The letter is memorized Yaasiin first, before I met Ahmad.Two days earlier, on the sidelines of memorization, Mr. Didi told me about his health complaints. He felt his body tremble, like flying, his head sometimes feels dizzy and also breathing a little heavy. Feeling not have knowledge of health sciences, suggested that Mr. Ahmad Didi immediately went to the doctor. Mr. Ahmad Didi worried blood pressure is too high, or it could be otherwise. Without intending to frighten, Ahmad Didi Pak warned that age-related health problems often blood pressure. But then again Ahmad suggests, it's better to see a doctor, because sometimes it is difficult for a layman to distinguish between low blood pressure with high blood pressure. Make no mistake predict, let alone then consume food or medicines that are supposed to dipantang.The next day, before Mr. Didi started memorizing, Ahmad first asked about his condition. Is it better and whether it has been checked by a doctor as he suggested last night."No Mas!" Replied Mr. Didi weak."Why, why? What because it better? ""Not yet, still the same as yesterday," Mr. Didi stopped, sighed. "Maybe this is a disease of the elderly, Mas. Lillahi ta'ala alone lah, "he continued."But you should first endeavor, sir. New tawakal, "Ahmad warned."Yes, Wish does so. But to the doctor that's not free. Which made the doctor's problem. Know myself, my work ou. Income from the rental contract just enough to eat, and even then in fairly-ends meet. "Astaghfirulloh! Ahmad thought. Why he did not respond to the problems faced by Mr. Didi. Mr. Didi does have a few rooms for rent, but that's the only income that she uses to finance his life, his wife and youngest child. Almost no other income beyond that. Mr. Didi alone can not do any work to supplement their income, in addition to age, especially since he lost the use of both eyes.Ahmad sorry. How could someone who just missed from close attention? When it could be said he was well off. He just did not get the sustenance that he previously thought. With many people he has shared, including all of his nephews he gave just pocket money, even for living outside kotapun he sent. Also, he has made a separate budget to donate to several mosques in the neighborhood. But how could Mr. Didi who has provided much inspiration, he just did not realize his predicament.Like a wake from a dream, realize that Mr. Ahmad Didi actually very appropriate for him to enter in the list of people he was going for. There was no consanguinity between them. Place a separate tinggalpun hundreds meters away. But this mosque, praying baiturrahiim has brought them, bringing them more than neighbors, like brothers. Ahmad suddenly felt very guilty. Why when he heard the story of Mr. Didi yesterday, he did not respond to what was a very Pak Didi need?When the evening call to prayer rang out, twenty minutes had elapsed from the chat that night, but the mind is not separated from the Mr. Ahmad Didi. Someone very close, he noticed it missing. Ahmad felt compelled to immediately do something to Mr. Didi, who was also his best friend's brother, sister seagamanya.*Mr Didi was accompanied by his wife were sitting in the living room when Ahmad greeted at the door. Ahmad deliberately did not tell Mr. Didi that she would bersilaturahim night. Ahmad wants to make amends, although Mr Didi had never thought so. Not at all, even for any matters associated with it. Ahmad purpose of his visit that night was to remind that Mr Didi immediately check their health to physicians. Mr. Didi did not have to worry about the cost, Ahmad had been preparing.And last night, when Mr. Didi looks fresher than the previous night, Ahmadpun feel very relieved. He has redeemed his guilt. Do not want him to repeat a second time, missed something that is very close. Hopefully, amen.
