After the Rain

Passed

Academic testing has begun. Participants were divided into three groups. For the first group, conduct an interview test. The second group took academic tests, and the third group took tahfiz tests. Once completed, each group will be rotated so that each participant gets a turn to work on all the tests.

Yandri had to admit, at the time he did the academic test, the questions presented in some sheets of paper, almost similar to what he had done as an educator. Therefore, Yandri did not have much difficulty in answering these questions.

After completing the academic test, Ihsan invited Yandri to go home. Tonight, Yandri is asked to stay at Tania's house. Tania's welcome was incredible. She was very happy when the husband of her distant niece visited. All sorts of food he gave to Yandri.

"How are you in-laws, Yan?" tania asked after asking Yandri to sit in the living room to talk.

"Already Ma, don't be invited to chat Yandri his. Poor, must be tired after traveling far. Continue, abis think also to answer the test questions," reprimanded Mr. Nature who just came out of his room.

"Th Papa ... Mama, it's just nanya doang" Tania said.

"Yes Wak, it's okay, Yandri is fine" replied Yandri.

"No, Yandri doesn't mind. Kok, even Papa who bothered anyway, huh not very clear." Tania looks scowled while getting a reprimand from her husband.

Mr. Alam smiled at the look on his wife's face, "Yes already, it's up to Mama. Talk about it not for long, yeah. Yandri has to rest because tomorrow he will return to the Lake" said Mr. Alam.

"Hurry up, Yan. Uwak thought you would stay here until the opening of the test results" Tania said.

"Yandri still has work to do at school, Wak. Anyway, right, not necessarily Yandri graduated. The competition's all heavy, Wak. The examinees yesterday, were all graduates of a famous city university. Only Yandri is a person from the village," said Yandri, humbled.

"Ish, you can't say that, Yan. Just optimistic. After all, Uwak believes that you have the ability that is qualified in the world of education," said Pak Alam, providing motivation to Yandri.

"What Uwak told you, Yan. You have to be confident. No matter how good the university is, but if he does not have the potential, it is useless Yan," Tania said.

Yandri. He was so grateful that this distant relative of his wife never considered him inferior. He is not from a family like them.

"Yes, it's night. Rest, Yan. You can sleep in the guest room" continued Mr. Alam.

Yandri. After saying goodbye, he then went to the guest room to rest. However, before going to bed, Yandri contacted Daniar first to tell him about his experience taking academic tests.

A week has passed. As usual, Yandri returned to his daily activities. Every morning at work passing through his mother's house. During the day, after school, he took the same path. Because that's the only way closest to the main road.

However, since the incident of selling a patch of land that he did not know, and also Raihan's attitude that he had just known, made Yandri reluctant to stop. Yandri thought, maybe its existence is no longer needed. So, why would he bother to stop by if only to find out one by one the truth about his family was revealed.

"Didn't come by, Mom?" raihan asked when accidentally the corner of his eye saw Yandri passing through his mother's house.

"Your brother is home from school?" asked Miss Maryam while glancing at the wall clock

"So Raihan look, Brother passed in front of the house, Mom," replied Raihan.

"Sheck, it's only 11 o'clock now. One wrong look maybe," said Miss Maryam.

"No ma'am, Raihan didn't look wrong. Bibah also see, if Yandri only through that," said Habibah.

"Why didn't Yandri stop by? Usually he always stopped by before going home to his wife," asked Miss Maryam, astonished.

"Yes, where does Raihan know," replied Raihan.

"Hmm, you don't know what you're pretending not to know?" timpal Habibah's.

"What do you mean, Bibah?" tanya Raihan frowned.

"Ish, pretend to bego again! It could be that the Yandri did not want to stop by again because he was disappointed with you. Uda debt ex-religion of your child is not paid, eh even added the same ex-sales of your baby pulse. He is angry because you are usually just a promise, but nothing is kept. Turn to have money, even buy a motorbike. Yes It must be disappointed, Yandri with you," said Habibah at length.

"Ish, his mother Bibah Brother also never did pledge with bang Yandri? Borrow money, but pay only half. It's the same lie" Raihan said.

Raihan and Habibah turned. "Shut up!" sahut Habibah and Raihan together.

"What do you think, your husband never took Yandri?" continued Habibah with a red face because it held back anger.

"But at least bang Yoga 'not per–"

"Already!" Miss Maryam mediates the debate between the two children and her daughter-in-law. "Mother's head hurts to hear your babbling. All of my children are never right. Just trouble!" snorting Miss Maryam as she passed away to her room.

Thinking of Yandri who just passed his house without stopping first, made Miss Maryam's head dizzy seven circumference. Plus the noise of Habibah debate, Raihan and Puri, as if making his head was about to explode. That's why Miss Maryam left them in the kitchen.

The roar of Yandri's two-wheeled vehicle stopped in front of the garage door. The star, who had recognized the sound of his father's motorbike, rushed out to open the garage door

"Ikuuut's father!" the stars shouted as the garage door opened and Yandri was about to start his motorbike.

Seeing his son running up to him, Yandri immediately turned off the engine and grabbed the Star to ride his bike. Shortly after, he turned the engine back on and drove it. For a moment he drove his motorbike around the backyard which was quite spacious. The stars look happy too.

Satisfied playing around for a while, Yandri finally stopped. He carried the star and brought it in.

"Where's the mother, Dek? How did your tumben open the garage door for Dad," asked Yandri to his daughter.

"Mother is in the room, Dad, again put Dad's clothes in the suitcase" replied the Star.

Yandri's forehead is wrinkled. Putting my clothes in a suitcase? Butwhy? inner Yandri, wonder.

"Assalamu'alaikum!"

Yandri said his greetings while lowering the Star. But there was no answer from inside the house. He then opened the shoes and kept them on the shoe rack. After washing her feet, Yandri entered the room to store her briefcase. For a moment, Yandri was stunned to see Daniar tidying some of his shirts in a suitcase.

"What's wrong, Bun?" ask Yandri.

Daniar was stunned, "Ish why don't you knock on the door first? Shocked, 'will be, '" Daniar scolded as he held his chest. Daniar's heart seemed to be running a marathon in shock.

"Sorry, Bun. I saw the door of his room open. Yes, I'm in, I'm in" replied Yandri. "Moment again what? My clothes were put in the suitcase. Why?" asked Yandri who could not hide his curiosity anymore.

Daniar grabbed his phone which was located on the nightstand. He then showed a letter in the form of a photo to Yandri.

"What is this, Bun?" ask Yandri.

"Read it," Daniar ordered.

Yandri read sentence by sentence contained in the letter in the form of a photo. Both eyes are perfectly rounded when they see the word PASS listed in the letter.

"Is this the academic test result from the boarding school?" ask Yandri.

Daniar nodded.

"But how come you haven't accepted it, Bun?" Yandri asked again, frowning.

"Because the announcement is also tomorrow, Dad. Mother got this photo from wak Tania. Congratulations, Dad ... Mother is proud of Daddy," said Daniar while standing to hug her husband's burly body as a form of congratulations.

Yandri smiled, "Thank you, Bun. But really, Mother packed Dad's clothes, anyway. 'The official announcement has not yet come out. Ish, I'm the one who's just gonna fuck Dad." Yandri protested, pursing his lips.

"Dad, don't su'udzon just yet, ah! The mother was separating Dad's shirt with the other school uniform. Reportedly, there is no wearing uniform like this. But wear a shirt and a suit. So, Mommy again choose a shirt for Daddy to work there later. Also, buy a coat. Don't you have a suit yet?" answer Daniar at length.

Yandri. To appreciate the wife's willingness to serve all her needs, Yandri embraced Daniar. "Thank you, dear," he said, kissing the white stripe of his wife's neck.
