"Assalamualaikum ustazah Ais" said a santriwati named Evi
"Waalaikumsalam, what's up Evi?" Ask Aiza
"Afwan. Just want to nyampein a message from umi ayu. Umi asked Ais to Ruman umi!"
"Na'am Syukron ya Vi" said Aiza.
"Afwan. If so, then permit me to leave first. Assalamualaikum?" Evi said
"Waalaikumsalam" replied Aiza. Evi left that place.
'why does umi ayu call me?. Did Ais make a mistake?. But I never feel like I made a mistake! And isn't Arkan home right now. Ah I was so embarrassed to come to meet umi ayu at her house.' said Aiza monologue with herself.
Step by step he took to get to this house ayu. His heart beats very fast as he approaches the house of umi ayu. There is a fear of meeting Arkan that he feels, yes even though he loves Arkan but the shame of course he feels when meeting loved ones. Aiza has not seen umi ayu in a few days. Last he saw umi ayu at the time umi ayu asked him to teach at Kindergarten with Sofi and Arkan. Even though he met Arkan every day, he still felt ashamed to meet Arkan. After days tiu Aiza never saw umi ayu again. So that's why there is a sense of worry that he felt when he heard Umi ayu calling him.
"Assalamualaikum" said Aiza saluted after reaching Umi's house and gathered her courage and dismissed her worries.
"Waalaikumsalam" replied the person who opened the door.
How shocked Aiza was when she saw the person who opened the door for her. It was not Umi ayu who opened the door but rather someone with his handsome face that made Aiza fascinated. That person is Arkan. Aiza's dream man.
"Eh Ice. Come on in!" Tell Arkan to let Aiza in.
Aiza just nodded. He tried to breathe slowly. He does this to relieve the nervousness he feels every time he meets Arkan. Aiza felt like every second her heart was beating faster than ever.
"I'm sorry, umi's home?" Ask Aiza
"Would you meet umi?. You sit down first. Wait for me to call umi first!" Say a rant and again just a nod of the head that Aiza gave, in response to Arkan's words. What a shame and nervousness appeared in every face with Arkan.
"Assalamualaikum umi" Aiza said when she saw the details of Ayu's umi.
"Waalaikumsalam" replied umi ayu smiling and sitting next to Aiza.
"Afwan umi, what is it that Umi called Ais to come here?" Ask Aiza
"Look, I know that the Earth is busy every day. Not only in pesantren, but also outside pesantren. So can Ais replace Umi teaching?. You know that class you teach every day?"
"But Umi, whether Aiza can and is able to replace umi teaching in pesantren. Ais is still learning a lot here. Ais is afraid that later Ais will not be able to umi!" Said Aiza sadly because she felt she did not deserve the offer from the umi ayu.
"Umi tau nak Ais can replace umi. Umi knows that nak Ais is the best student on campus, and nak Ais has also studied with someone who is also the best graduate in the campus. So umi sure if I want Ais can replace Umi. Lagian Umi is also already convinced by this decision, and umi hope that Ais will be able to accept it. Yeah, I can say umi forced this time!" Umi ayu speech that makes Aiza shocked by what umi ayu said. Because Aiza never said all that to Umi Ayu. But why Umi Ayu can know all those rights.
"By..How did Umi know about all that?" Aiza asked nervously.
"Both parents want Ais tang to tell all this to umi when I first came here!" Answer umi Ayu.
"Take it easy, Arkan will explain everything and Arkan will also accompany you later" said Umi Ayu who convinced Aiza to accept her offer without any sense of doubt that she felt.
"Alright umi. Ais is willing" said Aiza although there is still doubt she feels but she still accepts what umi ayu asked for.
'Not without reason I told you to replace me Ais. But all this was a request from the Arkan child. What makes Arkan happy, why don't I make it happen?. Whatever it is, I'll do it while I can to make it happen and see Arkan happy. And when I saw you, I remembered how I struggled for years to get love from Ahmad. Love sometimes makes us crazy. No matter the santri or the wild woman in general. If it concerns the affairs of love for me it is all the same that it makes no difference.' said umi ayu in her heart
On the other side Arkan who was looking at uminya and Aiza from a distance just smiled and went into his camera. Take her diary and write down everything she feels.
"Whatever waves hit the coral will not change the position of the coral. The reef will not falter and its position will not change. That is my current situation even though there will be many struggles and obstacles that I will experience to be able to unite with you I will still try. I am still steadfast in the decrees that God has ordained. I will wait patiently for fate to unite us.
The rain is happy for me. Happiness that may sound very simple. For me the rain is beautiful and the rain is nice. For me every drop of rain that falls will give life to all living things on earth. Just like you gave me a new spirit in my life. You make me feel comfortable when I'm around you. No need to talk much, just being beside you has made myself feel happiness that I have never felt before.
And I don't have to wait for the night to pick up my dreams, because I live in my own imagination. I don't need to feel what it's like to be able to know how to lose it, because when I don't see you then I feel what it is. Even if I knew I'd see you again later. But one day I don't see you I'll feel lost and my spirit wanes. You gave me a new meaning in my life.
Love you and be loved by you because God willing will make us feel happiness together later. Because Allah has promised through Rasullullah people with those who love each other because of Allah, you will be lucky because you will be gathered with them. Then I want you and I to be gathered together for good.
It turns out that controlling feelings is hard. Feelings are able to make us feel sad and happy, which will appear by itself suddenly. If I love you unconditionally, why should I be afraid of all the obstacles that might come later.
All I want is to live with you in the likes and the past that we will pass later. I am very much looking forward to the time that God has destined to unite us in the various joys and trials ahead. Where we will complement each other. Share the story and we will also create a new story about the two of us later. Ana antazrik ukhty Aiza Marlina. I'm waiting for the time that's been destined for us together. ~M.A~
"Hopefully what I'm doing will make me find an answer that's been an enigma in my life." Arkan said as he closed and put the book he had finished writing about everything he felt. After writing the arcs lay themselves on the bed looking at the ceiling of his room.
"Mas Arkan!" Faris's words surprised Arkan.
"Astaghfirullah, Faris, you're just nervous. The parents entered the ucam room greetings first before entering" Arkan said
"Afwan. Faris forgot. " Said Faris while showing the two rows of teeth. Or you can say crybaby.
"HM, what are you here for" asked Arkan.
"Gini. Why is Ais here?. Tumbens!" Faris.
"Would you meet Umi, what does it have to do with you?" Answer Arkan
"Hehe there is no mas. Just a time in see-wild ukhty Ais beautiful also yes mas" said Faris who made Arkan a little irritated.
"HM, what are you doing. Do you like ice?" Ask Arkan in an annoyed tone of voice over the compliment Faris gave.
"Maybe yes and maybe not!" Answer Faris
"Udah-ud. Go and get some rest. Just disturb" said Arkan who was increasingly upset with his sister.
