years ago, in front of my class
in Elementary School 1 Dompu, I gathered with my classmates in resting time. We were
sharing and laughing together.
When my friends and I wanted to
go to the canteen, one of my friends from another class called me to go to the
teachers’ room. I was so afraid because I thought I made a mistake, but when I
arrived there, Mr. Firdaus, my Islamic teacher received me
with open arms then said “ Do you like to join MTQ for Elementary
School Level next month? “ I felt so surprised and thought “ Oh, what is going
on? I cannot do that! “ I just confused and
speechless at that time. He asked me again and I replied “ No, I do not” . He was little bit confused because saw my pale face. He tried to encourage and convey me
to join it because he was so sure I could do it like my parents did.
On my way home, I
thought about it along the street until I arrived at my home. As usual, “Umi” I
called my mother asked me to get a lunch first, she looked at my face then
tried to ask me about what was happening because I
was grim visaged. I preferred to
silent and just ate some food that had prepared on the table. After eating, I
took a pray then slept in my bedroom.
A few hours
later, aji (my daddy) arrived at home after finishing his job at office. My
mother accompanied him to eat. I did not know what umi said to aji at that
time. When I woke up, aji got close to me then said “ What is wrong with you,
my beloved child? Are you angry with
your mom?”. “ No, I am not” I replied. My father asked me again, again, all
over again until I told him what the problem was that I faced. My daddy called
my mom happily then told about that news. They
were so happy and support me so much. Ya Allah, I was so confused because I
could not read holy Qur’an in a good and beautiful manner. Because of it, I
could not sleep tightly at night.
In the morning at
my school, Mr. Firdaus asked me again and forced me to join MTQ which would be held next month. I was still keep silent and never
gave any division. Besides, my friends who knew that event supported me and
encouraged me to follow my teacher and my parents want. All people looked like
ghosts who always asked me everywhere, everytime. It made me afraid and did not
want to go to school. Every morning, I tried to look for many
reasons in order to not attend the class such as
headache, stomachache, and many more.
Then, there was no choice to me. I must joined the
competition because I was the only one student who was represent all my
friends. Because of the support of my parents, I tried to read holy Qur’an in a
beautiful style. Every maghrib after praying, my father taught me patiently
during a month. But, I was still nervous thought about the competition. I was
so stressed then sick whereas I would compete
on the following week. My parents worried, as can as possible, my parents took care of me in order to heal me.
Alhamdulillahhirabbil’alamiin,
Allah SWT gave me a recovery and I passed the competition
well. Finally, for the first time I became the winner at Qur’an Recitation for
Elementary School. My parents and my teacher were so happy. I saw happiness on
their eyes and proud smile on their lips. I was so happy because I could make a
happiness on their face because of my achievement :’)
I love you both umi and Aji :’) Thanks and love for my teachers at Elementary
School 1 Dompu :’)
