(2) prayer.

- Present

A voice recited,

"Do not be afraid, I am with you all the time, listening and seeing." [20:46]

"O Allah, please give me the strength to fight and overcome this trial," she prayed as tears poured down her cheeks.

She sobbed and cried with all her might, her watery eyes, trembling fingers while praying to the God, anyone can see how incredibly wearied she looked.

As time goes on, she no longer think of the past as another bad memories of her, but as a strength and prove that she will get through anything eventually, no matter how difficult it is to her.

And just like how Allah promised His servants, He connected two completely different lives yet similar in some way to meet at that particular day.

On that particular day, it was pouring, so much that her shoes starts drowning whenever she stopped running. Oh yeah, the reason for running was she had forgotten to bring her props back home, after a long work in the set -she's a prop master in short.

Her work range from preparing all the props and supplies needed for the set, to buying or sometimes renting props, whether with her money or the entire staff.

It's exhausting, but she enjoy the feeling when she's at the stage, making changes from the spacious, empty stage to a place that suits the concept they aimed from the start.

Unfortunately, life chose to give another thing to stress on, rain, like that really heavy one. Feeling helpless, there's nothing she could do besides waiting for it to stop, while holding three bags full of props, materials, and tools.

Usually, going to university from home and/or vice versa, she would walk, as that would be her only time to feel the most free, away from the responsibilities, of school or life in general.

She would spend that 25 minutes, walking along the streets, looking at the diverse type of flowers in the nearby flower shop, freshly baked pastries from a bakery located at the centre of the town, children playing at the playground, laughing with each other as if life is nothing to worry about.

Now, she could only smile thinking about it, as the dark, stormy day starts covering the sky. She felt herself slightly trembling in the cold weather, with her only wearing a T-shirt and a pair of pants, just those two as its outer layers.
