The Young Scholar Chapter 2 Episode 18

The news broke out and went viral around the town and other states… The Young Scholar was seen to be in his most devastating moment.

The Young Scholar abandoned all he has and became an indoor freak. He only comes out when it’s Jumat and then return home afterwards. He goes to the station everyday hoping he would hear a good news but things still didn’t change. So many things changed about him waiting for this long. He became despondent, he accepts no visitors in his home. When Yakub heard this, he felt he has to do something about it.

Yakub – (knock at Abdulrasaq’s home) Assalamu alaikum

Abdulrasaq – Wa alaikum salam wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh… Please Daddy Maryam, you need to go back.

Yakub – please just let me in I won’t spend much time

Abdulrasaq – I don’t need any time with anyone just go.

Yakub – Please (he pleaded) because of Allah.

Abdulrasaq – (opened the gate) just stand here let’s talk outside here.

Yakub – I’m so sorry Abdulrasaq… You need to take it easy on yourself.

Abdulrasaq – The trial of love has been the most difficult test for me being a preacher. I do know the worldly life is only a temporary thing but I’m human, just like every other human we need a soul mate.

Yakub – I do understand what you are going through right now… Believe me I’m going through the same thing right now. My wife is no where to be found too.

Abdulrasaq – (tears) I just want to be alone.. and continue daily qiyam, salat, tashahud until they both return. So now please go.

Yakub – okay… I pray Allah comfort you and you find peace. (He left)

Abdulrasaq – Thank you (he locked his gate and returned inside)

Curtains…

The Family of Yakub were also going through alot knowing that two of their daughters were kidnapped with no trace. They continue to suffer the pain in silence. And none of them ever thought this issue would take a longer time to get solved.
1, 2, 3, 4years past by, the police gave up the search and the city of Apelle is silently dead. Then the new Young Scholar arose to lift up the city once again.

Ismail – (knocks at his master’s door)… Assalamu alaikum sir.

Abdulrasaq – Wa Alaikum salam. (Still in his sad face)

Ismail – It’s been four years sir. You’ve virtually abandoned everything you have. Your madrasat, your school “Al mafaz”

Abdulrasaq – How did you know it’s my school?..

Ismail – I worked there for the past two years… And I was able to detect there’s only one smart man who could hide such a good deed.

Abdulrasaq – (smiled) That’s amazing.. you’ve grown.

Ismail – Yes sir, I’m 20 now. And I’m ready to pickup from where you left things, that’s why I’m here. I don’t want my master to remain this way.

Abdulrasaq – Masha Allah… I’m happy you came.

Ismail – Lastly, do not grieve. Allah is definitely going to show you mercy for all you have done. And surely he will answer all your prayers and forgive your shortcomings.

Abdulrasaq – I’m so proud of you Ismail. And I Thank Allah for using you. And I want you to be ready for the task ahead is way big than we can ever imagine. And for the main time I think I’d have to leave town and start life somewhere else. I pray Allah guide me to the best path.
