"Ta, no need to wash the dishes, please help Ummi clean the empty room at the end of the second floor only," said Ummi Sarah when she saw Tata enter the kitchen, because in the morning hours like this usually Tata help the activities in the kitchen.
"Okay Mi, then I'll take Mi's broom first." Tata soon passed to the storage of cleaning tools near the kitchen.
Tata began to climb one by one the stairs to the room on the second floor, where Umm Sarah was waiting for him there. The rays of the sun began to barge in after Umm Sarah opened all the windows of the room.
Tata and Umm Sarah finally work together to clean the room. Replace bed linen and pillowcases with new ones, giving room fragrances and other knick-knacks so that the room looks neat and clean.
"Sorry if I may know whose room this is?" ask Tata when he has finished all his work.
"Oh, this room will be used by Ummi's nephew from Surabaya, Ta. Later in the night he may have come here" replied Umm Sarah while unlocking a two-door closet not far from the window.
"Is it possible that he was meant by Gus Aji yesterday the day after tomorrow," Tata's inner self in his heart.
Smile again adorned the sweet face of the owner of the round eyes, Tata blushed himself when recalling Aji's speech the other day. There was a strange taste that tickled his heart.
"Astagfirullohaladzim ..." said Tata inwardly when awakened from his daydream. He turned his gaze toward the ummi Sarah to make sure if he did not see the Smile-smiling System himself.
Tata's life seemed empty after Aji left for Egypt, especially his friends who came home to enjoy the school holidays. The atmosphere of the pesantren was suddenly quiet, no more eating together as usual.
"Ta, when you're done just rest, enjoy your school vacation," said Ummi Sarah after finishing cleaning the closet from the dust that sticks there.
"Oh yeah, where do you want to go to college after this, son?" ask Umm Sarah, she just remembered if Tata has graduated from MA.
"No Ummi, Tata does not want to go to college, Set focus to the book only," replied Tata with his head bowed, he did not want if Umm Sarah stared at the black bead.
Tata is nervous about lying to Umm Sarah. All this he did because of Self-consciousness, it is impossible for him to trouble the family of Kyai Yusuf to finance his college, allowed to stay in the pesantren without paying the cost alone Tata is very grateful.
"Are you sure, son? you should just go to college, major in Islamic religious education so that you can become a teacher later," said Ummi Sarah while staring at Tata who was agitated.
"Yakin Mi, Tata wants to focus on the yellow book alone." Tata ventured to look at Umm Sarah's face.
Chat ensued in the neat room, Ummi Sarah continued to persuade Tata to go to college but Tata remained adamant about her decision. Finally Ummi Sarah followed the decision taken by Tata.
... ๐น๐น๐น๐น...
The sound of the cock crowing the morning sign has come, the sky is still dark because the sun is still reluctant to appear, the chirping of birds began to sound melodious.
Tata swings towards Kyai Yusuf's house after hearing the news that Ummi Sarah is unconscious. Kyai Yusuf's wife was shocked when she heard that her father-in-law or mother Kyai Yusuf had died.
"Ta, Ummi tipped home, today Mak Sumi has not returned from Tulungagung," said Ummi Sarah before entering the car.
"Yes Mi, God willing Tata will keep the mandate of Ummi." Tata looked at Umm Sarah's sad face.
"Room, Bude's leaving. You do not go anywhere before Pakde and Bude go home," Ummi Sarah told a man standing near the car of Ummi's eldest son Sarah.
The man just nodded his head at Umm Sarah. Then his gaze was fixed on Tata who was confused beside the car that Ummi Sarah was riding in.
Three cars carrying the entire Ummi Sarah family finally departed, the gate was locked Tata as usual so that no guests entered.
"Hey the woman in the blue veil, what's your name?" ask Umm Sarah's niece as Tata passes in front of her, "stop!!" continued the man when he saw Tata did not respond to him.
Tata deliberately avoids the man named Aga, he was a little uncomfortable because he saw the current appearance of Aga. Rocker's appearance became the style of dress of Ummi's nephew Sarah.
"I'm Tata, excuse me," Tata said without looking at Aga who was behind him. Tata soon passed to Kyai Yusuf's house to do the activity as before, today Tata's work is more than usual because ART who works at this house goes home to his village.
Aga was a little furious when he saw Tata's indifferent response, only this time there was a woman who was cold to him. Aga is a twenty-five-year-old man, a drunken man, a wild racing lover and a playboy. His parents were no longer able to educate Aga to return to the right way so, therefore, he was entrusted in the place of Umm Sarah to get religious education, so that he could get religious education, his parents were very hopeful that Aga would change for the better.
Ummi Sarah is not from Priyayi family like Kyai Yusuf. His parents used to be the owner of the banana chips manufacturing industry. Ummi Sarah used to be a santriwati in Kediri boarding school owned by Kyai Yusuf's parents. Both were betrothed and given the mandate of Kyai Yusuf's father to develop a boarding school in Jombang.
Back again to the figure of Aga, the yellow-skinned man ruffled his waist while staring at Tata who slowly disappeared from his sight. Aga was really upset that Tata did not turn her head towards him in the least.
"I should be able to make him fall in love with me! look, soon you'll be begging me for love, blue-veiled woman!" Aga clucked with a grinning facial expression. The ambition of conquering Tata became his main goal this time around.
