After the Rain

Move over

Another week, the holiday after Lebaran will be over. However, Yandri and Daniar still did not get a new place.

"How is this, Dad? Shouldn't we just stop the study even though we haven't got a rented house?" ask Daniar.

"Come, Bun. Father was also confused," replied Yandri.

"I'm confused, Dad. Let's just tell the truth to the parents of the disciples, if Ustadz Aaron did ask us to stop the activity" Daniar replied.

"Don't Bun, not good. It's the same as we indulge in the ugliness of Ustadz Harun. However, stopping a good and useful activity will still be bad judgment in the eyes of the community" Yandri replied.

"Keep, how should we go?" Daniar asked again.

"Here we go, let's think about it later, when we get home" Yandri said.

Ms. Salma who accidentally heard the chatter of the child and his daughter-in-law, immediately approached them.

"What's the matter there, Nak Yan?" ask Miss Salma.

"One of the elders of the mosque there objected to the study that Yandri held at school, Mom. He asked us to stop the study. While Yandri has not been able to find the right reason to stop the activity. However, the reason that Yandri will give to the parents of children, of course, must be a reasonable reason, Mom," said Yandri.

"You're right Yan, we must carefully face the old man of today. They have been more critical in dealing with a problem" said Ms. Salma.

"Mother was right, so we decided to move out of school in order to give the guardians reasonable reasons. However, unfortunately until this moment we have not found a rented house" said Daniar.

"I'm sorry, I can't help finding a solution to the problem you're facing. I can only pray, hopefully you can soon find the best way out," continued Ms. Salma.

"Aamiin," concluded Yandri and Daniar together.

Without feeling, the holiday after Lebaran was over. Yandri and Daniar return to school to carry out their duties as educators. As soon as he arrived at the room, Daniar's phone rang. A sign that a message was coming in on his cell phone.

Daniar reached into the pocket of the bag and took out the object. His forehead creased slightly as he read the name of the sender of the message.

What is it that Mumun sends a message? inner Daniar.

Daniar then rubbed his phone screen to read a message from Bik Mumun. Apparently, bik Mumun sends word if tomorrow Posyandu will be held in his place. Yes, bik Mumun is a posyandu cadre in the village where Daniar lives.

Next day. During the break, Daniar takes Bintang to the local posyandu. While he was busy waiting for his son's turn to be weighed, Daniar accidentally heard two mothers' conversations about the empty house. Feeling interested, Daniar finally approached them.

"Excuse me, Mom!" greet Daniar to the two women.

"Eh, Miss Niar," replied one of those who did know Daniar as one of the teachers at his son's school.

Daniar smile. "Yes, sorry to interrupt. I overheard Mom talking about an empty house. Whose house is it, huh?" ask Daniar.

"Oh, that's Bik Nining's house, ma'am," replied the mothers wearing negligee.

"Bik Nining Gibran's mother?" ask Daniar again.

"Yes, Mom. What's wrong, Mom?" ask the other woman.

"Emh, I'm looking for a rented house, ma'am. But it seems that it is very difficult to find a house that wants to be rented" replied Daniar.

"Hehehe, understand here the village of Bu, not as crowded in the city. So, it's not possible to do it if you make a rented house," joked the women berkaster.

"Ah, I could have," replied Daniar.

"Can. Later, I'll wait here after my son has finished being weighed," Daniar replied.

The woman nodded. A moment later, he entered the house to inform Bik Nining of the matter.

Half an hour waiting, finally Daniar got his turn also to weigh the Star, his son. The star looks like a hen hanging when weighed by a mumun bik. After finishing, Daniar returned to the place where he had been chatting with two women.

Arriving at that place, Bik Nining seemed to sit while holding a small child aged about 10 months. Daniar also accelerated the pace to approach Bik Nining.

"How's Bik Nining doing?" greet Daniar and extend a hand.

"Alhamdulillah, my good news, ma'am," replied Bik Nining. "So, the mother who was about to fill my empty house?" tanyanya direct.

"Eh." Daniar smiled thinly. "Y-yes, Mom. That's also if you want to contract the house," replied Daniar.

"Ish, contracted how the hell, ma'am. Lah wong house stage only. If you are interested, please stay. No need to pay, I just pay for electricity," said Bik Nining.

"Wooh, then, I'd be hesitant to occupy it" Daniar replied.

"It's okay, Mom. Just keep it, let someone take care of it too. Unfortunately too, if it's empty, 'will be broken quickly, '" said Bik Nining.

"Oh yes, Bik. By the way, why was his house left empty? Where does Bik Nining live now?" ask Daniar.

"My mother-in-law is old, so I moved to my mother-in-law's house to take care of her" replied Bik Nining.

"Oh like that. Well Mom, let me talk to my husband first, then" Daniar said

"Yes, Mom. Tomorrow I leave the keys to Gibran's house. Maybe I'm the same Mr. Yandri want to look around in it," concluded Bik Nining.

Daniar smile. After the talk about the house was finished, Daniar immediately resigned because he had to go back to teaching.

.

After discussing with her husband, Daniar and Yandri agreed to occupy the stage house owned by Bik Nining. Moreover, the local residents welcomed Daniar and Yandri's intention to occupy the house.

"Yes, Mom. Just stay, let it feel warm," said one of the neighbors who was accompanying Daniar to see the house on stage.

"Yes, God willing, Mom. Maybe tomorrow we will start to occupy his house" replied Daniar.

"Why wait for tomorrow, Mom? Why not just now?" timpal Bude who is still a neighbor next to the stilt house that will be occupied by Daniar.

"My husband has to move things first, ma'am. The plan, later tonight we will transport some first," replied Daniar.

"Why do we have to be a part of it, Mom? Later that night, let my husband who helped Mr. Yandri transport goods from school. Incidentally, my husband's pickup car is not in use. So mr. Yandri can use it, "bude bargained.

"Wow, thank you for the offer, ma'am. Don't bother," subtly reject Daniar.

"Ish, this isn't troublesome at all, ma'am. Think of this as my thanks because Mr. Yandri has educated my daughter" said Bude.

Daniar just smiled. "Yes, thank you so much." Eventually Daniar relented and accepted Bude's offer

In the evening, with the help of school children and residents around the school, Yandri moved the items in his room into a pickup car owned by Pak Nawan.

After saying goodbye to neighbors around the school, Daniar and Yandri boarded the car. Tonight, they decided to move on and start a new life in a new place.

Ah, finally I can also live a normal household like any other household, inner Daniar smiled faintly.
