It’s extremely amazing place nobody has ever seen that before, or let me call this with the never land, dream land or wonder land…..whatever!! Even though, I didn’t find any magician here like Hogwart; Harry Potter’s school, the flying boys and the pirates like in the fairy tail of Peter Pan, let alone a god family as the mythology of Hercules; Zeus’ son from Olympus, but the place I described was different with the others.
The area was enormous, it was surrounded by green mountains, forests, blue lake and sea, covered by unimaginable sceneries and magnificent buildings like a castle and adorned by the sound of wild animals from the forests, while splashing of waves heard clearly from the sea. An enormous mosque stood in the centre with four high minarets surrounded it, those faced the sky as if challenged the width of it.
The marvelous thing, the people lived here were from the whole tribe and race in the earth, they had a different cultures and religions, but they could live in peace within one place, even one house. They were very kind; every time they meet they used to guess one each other. Arabic was the language they used to speak, so it wasn’t strange to know how they understood Koran; holy book of Islam religion well and practiced it in their daily life.
Honestly, I didn’t know how the way I came here, I couldn’t cram enough into my head, the one I still remembered, I came to the classroom and sit, then a beautiful girl came and brought me here, she wore a grey veil. The spectacles in her face showed how brilliant she was. I felt she wasn’t somebody else for me, I ever recognized her face, but I forgot her name. Her sweet smile to me added the beating of my heart; she was too elegant to see.
The girl then told everything about this land, she spoke Arabic and said this area namely Caliphate Nation with sharia law as the system, therefore the land came into prosperity and peace because Islam was held and done here. Her story reminded me about Indonesia; republic nation used secularism and capitalism as the system for public. No sharia law in that country to this very day, therefore the country was full with the chaos everyday. I hated Indonesia, but I couldn’t leave it anyway, Indonesia was my homeland.
I had just remembered, I had been together for some times with the girl, but I still didn’t know her name, and the answer shocked me as I ordered her to introduce her self, she said, I was her husband, then she looked at me deeply. I tried to find a lie in her eyes but it was nothing, suddenly she approached me and held my hand tightly, then she tried to kiss me. I could do nothing to prevent her want and suddenly my sight blurred; everything faded away. No land with beautiful scenery and the kind residents, no beautiful girl with a grey veil and spectacles and no kiss. Everything disappeared. The one left was my self on the chair of classroom. I had just dreamed….
Several minutes ago, I came to the classroom to officiate the meeting of my organization, but nobody came, then I waited, fell a sleep and dreamed. I rubbed my eyes to make me realize I wasn’t dreaming anymore. I started to open the book I brought. Read the book, I heard the door was knocked, a beautiful girl wore a grey veil and spectacles came inside. She was the student of Arabic letters department, also the treasurer of my organization. To see her in a glance, I knew, she was the girl in my dream. (R.Bagus M.E.P.-06320053)
