The Three Chosen
323. Repentance Opportunity
The crowd was overwhelmed with panic due to the increasingly weak condition of the victims of the fire. Seeing that thing
Iyaz and izar also helped.
“ Please give them space to breathe, if it is so rich that there they can not breathe and even
died later. Do you want responsibility...?!” said Izar loudly.
Izar's words surprised and awakened the citizens. Slowly they stayed away from the fire victims lying on the ground. Only a man survives because he is trying to help
the victims. Judging from the way he dressed, Iyaz and Izar were sure that the man was an ustadz. The two approached the ustadz and greeted him.
“ Assalamualaikum Mr Ustadz, is there anything we can help you with.?” ask Iyaz politely.
The ustadz turned his head and smiled at the presence of Iyaz and Izar who were believed to be good people.
“ Wa alaikumsalam.., you happen to come. Please help me resuscitate them yes.” pinta the ustadz
his name is Halim.
“ Well Ustadz...,” sahut Iyaz and Izar together.
“ Others please lend cloth or sarong to cover their aurat yes.” said ustadz Halim while staring at the crowd.
“ Well Mr. Ustadz...,” sahut some residents then rushed home to take a cloth or sarong as requested by Ustadz Halim.
Soon they returned with cloths and sarongs handed over to ustad Halim. Then Ustadz Halim stepped closer to the victims of the lying fire. When he saw Qiana disguised as a man standing not too far from the victims, the ustadz called him and asked him to help.
“ You..., come here..” says ustadz Halim while pointing towards Qiana.
“ I Pak Ustadz...?” qiana asked as she pointed her index finger at her own face.
“ Yes You, who else is it..,” say ustadz Halim with a smile.
Doubtfully Qiana came forward to approach the Halim Ustadz who seemed to be thrusting a sarong towards him. Qiana looked confused, while the ustadz Halim who thought Qiana was a man also put the glove cloth into her palm.
“ Instead of dumbing down there, you better help cover up their aurat yes..,” says ustadz Halim.
The words of Ustadz Halim made Izar and Qiana surprised. Even Izar, who was giving one of the victims, got up and approached the ustadz.
“ Let Me Aja Mr. Ustadz. Most people are not good for the victim. And you, there far away. Disturbingly
aja...” said Izar ketus while staring fixedly at Qiana.
Qiana who felt ‘saved’ by Izar seemed to nod then rushed away and stood behind the crowd of citizens. In her heart Qiana felt grateful for escaping from seeing something that should not even though she was a little annoyed by Izar's remark earlier.
Iyaz who was helping the victims of the fire also smelled the oddity in the attitude of his twin. Iyaz felt if Izar's attitude was a little possessive. But Iyaz felt it was not the right time to ask Izar a lot of things.
Then ustadz Halim and Izar moved to cover the aurat of the victims. It's just the urate because of both
worried if the burns suffered by the victims will get sicker if exposed to cloth later. The victims who suffered burns of up to 70% were heard whimpering in pain. Their faces are hard to recognize until the citizens
After the victims woke up, ustadz Halim seemed to smile. The residents breathed a little while looking at the residents
the victims started to moan and move their bodies.
Ustadz Halim began to speak to remind all the people present there.
“ Genesis today is one proof of the power of Allah Subhanahu Wata’ala. We see together how
the great fire, which has burned everything suddenly extinguished by itself when we are all confused because we no longer know how to extinguish the fire is not.?” ask ustadz Halim.
“ Yes Ustadz...,” say concurrent citizens.
“ At this point God again shows His power. Look at them, the people lying on the ground have been trapped in the fire for so long. If we measure them, they should not survive, but God still saves them and allows them to live. One wisdom that can be taken is that God still gives them the opportunity to repent and improve themselves. Means God loves them and We are all here because God also allows us to bear witness of this power of God.!” ustadz Halim said out loud.
All the residents who gathered, including the victims of the fire, seemed shocked to hear the words of Ustadz Halim. During this time they always considered the speech of ustadz Halim only a joke or just a slogan. But when they watched ‘ senseless events’ with their own eyes, they realized.
People seem to bow their heads. Their faces looked red with embarrassment. One of the six fire victims was seen trying to rise with difficulty. Izar was moved to help so that the victims of the fire could sit while grimacing with pain.
“ Mr. Ustadz Halim is right, I admit wrong. I'm sorry Mr. Ustadz because all this time always defiant. I always ignored Ustadz's advice. Ustadz just wanted to take me in the right direction. Sorry I am Mr. Ustadz...” said the fire victim with a soft and regretful tone.
There were tears streaming down his face to make ustadz Halim pity and then approached him.
“ I've sorry you before you apologize Tono. Now you know that your actions have been misguided and misleading others. You saw the evidence. The demon you were proud of left you on fire and almost died. It is precisely the God whom You ignore that saves you and lets you live.” said ustadz Halim gently.
“ Yes. I regret Ustadz. Please help me to repent and return to the way of Allah Yes Mr. Ustadz..,” pinta Tono.
“ We also Mr. Ustadz..!” five other fire victims said simultaneously, making Halim smile.
“ Insha Allah..,” sahut ustadz Halim with teary eyes.
All residents said hamdalah simultaneously and then applauded when they saw the five victims of the fire managed to sit even though they had to endure pain and pain.
While Iyaz, Izar and Qiana also smiled happily to see the citizens realized their mistakes and intended
repented.
“ Should they be taken to Pak Ustadz Hospital, because the burns can be infected if not treated properly.
“ I agree...,” sahut ustadz Halim.
Then residents contacted the nearest Hospital to bring the victims of the fire. Shortly after, three ambulances arrived. Residents moved in to help lift the six fire victims into ambulances. After that some residents accompanied the victims of the fire to the Hospital to take care of administration.
After the victims of the fire were taken to the Hospital, residents began to clean up the rest of the fire
royong. Both eyes of Ustadz Halim and Qiana seemed to be glazed to see Ki Suta's house had now collapsed without rest. It turns out that the two have different memories of the house and a married couple who inhabit the house, namely Suta and Ami.
“ I personally have unforgettable memories here, in this house with Mr. Suta and Bu Ami. Almost everyone has stopped by and talked with them and most of them have good memories of Mr. Suta and Bu Ami. Isn't that Qiana..?” ustadz Halim asked while looking at Qiana.
