HAPPY READING

💚💚💚💚💚

Umi Khadijah came out of her room to meet her two guests and made a donation for the renovation of the school mosque.

"Why is the drink stolen? come drink first." said Umi Khadijah softly.

"Yes ma'am, thank you." said Baihaqi softly as he picked up the drink and sipped a little.

"How's it?" umi Khadijah said slowly.

"I mean mother?" baihaqi said slowly, not referring to Khadijah's question.

"Ohhh I mean? donations for the renovation of the school mosque. How much does it cost?" said Umi Khadijah politely.

"Sorry Mom, I was disturbing. I Baihaqi the representative teacher who got the task of coming to the parents of the disciple asked for a donation. The budget for the renovation of school mosques can be seen in this proposal. Please read first. And for his donations as sincere as Bu, the school does not force." said Baihaqi slowly.

"The cost of renovations is almost 500 million, but this is up to the level?" umi Khadijah.

"Betul Bu." said Baihaqi softly.

"Have you been a teacher for a long time?" umi said slowly.

"It's only been two years Ma'am" Baihaqi said softly.

"Which graduation?or ever been to a pesantren?" umi Khadijah said calmly.

"I graduated from S2 IAIN Bu, previously I was mesantren at Abah Furqon's place" said Baihaqi slowly.

"Ohh yes, have a family?" said Umi Khadijah happy.

"Not yet, ma'am, want to get married. Dating after marriage is more fun." said Baihaqi with a smile.

"That's right, mom agrees. Insha Allah, Allah SWT will also classify our soul mate. A gentleman with a pious woman, a Sholeh man with a Sholeh woman" Umi Khadijah said with a smile.

"Aamiin to Rabb. Insha Allah all my needs are heard by Allah SWT." said Baihaqi slowly.

"This is Nak Haikal, who often goes home to Fatima?" umi Khadijah said slowly.

"Yes Umi. Umi was right." said Haikal smiling.

Umi Khadijah smiled, almost every night Fatima told the figure of Haikal.

"Haikal Chairman of OSIS, what class is it now?" umi Khadijah said slowly.

"I have graduated, I serve to help teach for the field of cretivity. To fill my free time waiting to enter college." said Haikal steady.

"Have graduated. Fatima often told me about Nak Haikal" said Umi Khadijah slowly.

"I'm sorry Umi. I have the intention to propose to Fatima after Fatima has graduated" Haikal said slowly.

"Sir Haikal, if you want to apply, Umi is happy, do not often bring Umi children without a clear status. Bring your parents here." said Umi Khadijah softly.

"Umi allowed me to apply for Fatima while Fatima was still in school? If it is possible, I will bring my parents to propose to Fatima." said Haikal steady.

"Umi wait as soon as possible" said Umi Khadijah.

For Umi Khadijah to have a daughter it must be guarded. When there are girls who take care, it is better to immediately justify it because the devil will act faster.

"Okay Umi, I'll inform you soon. Thank you for Umi's trust for me." said Haikal slowly.

"Yes Nak Haikal is the same. This is a donation to the renovation of the school mosque. Please do not look at the nominal but look at my sincerity to prosper a mosque" said Umi Khadijah softly.

"Iya Umi thank you very much, this is more than enough to help gotong royong renovate the school mosque. Hopefully everything can go well." said Baihaqi slowly.

"Aamiin, drink it first." said Umi Khadijah slowly.

"Umi we say goodbye first. Maybe tomorrow or the day after tomorrow my parents come here to propose to Fatima" Haikal said politely.

"Umi wait, don't make Fatima wait, she's Umi's only daughter" said Umi Khadijah softly.

"Let's mother. assalamualaikum." said Baihaqi and Haikal simultaneously.

"Waalaikumsalam." Umi Khadijah.

The living room door just closed. The knocking of the door was heard again.

"Assalamualaikum." said Abi Tito while knocking on the door.

"Waalaikumsalam, Mas Tito? Enter Mas" said Umi Khadijah softly.

He was shocked to see Abi Tito coming. Feelings of disappointment re-emerged, as much as possible Umi Khadijah cover the state of his heart that is not good.

"Khadija, Mas misses you" said Abi Tito as he hugged Khadija tightly, his eyes were already teary, hoping for forgiveness from his wife Khadijah.

"Mas, embarrassed to see a child. Aisyah is also here" said Khadijah tegar.

Abi Tito let go of his embrace, and wiped away the tears that had dripped down his cheek. His handsome face was still clearly visible, only now it was more mature and wise.

Abi Tito came in and sat on the living room sofa.

"Aisyah make a drink, there are guests dear Umi." said Umi Khadijah half-calling.

"Yes Umi, Ayesha bring it." replied Ayesha a little loudly.

Abi Tito and Umi Khadijah were silent, no one opened their voices. I don't know what they want to talk about right now. Everything was like yesterday, there was no answer to be given to Abi Tito.

"Khadija, how dear?" abi Tito said slowly.

"I know how you feel dear, if there is no second chance for me" Abi Tito said, looking into Khadijah's beautiful eyes.

"It's still difficult Mas, the wound is still gaping, I've tried to close it, but it's open again" said Khadijah honestly.

Aisyah also came with a drink and a small jar filled with cookies. Without looking at the guest Umi Khadijah, Aisyah walked over while bowing her head.

Khadijah put the glass and the jar on the table.

"Please drink, excuse me." said Aisyah softly, keeping her head down.

"He's Aisyah? Siti's child? right Khadijah?" tanya Abi Tito.

"Yes Mas, he's Aisyah the son of my best friend Siti" said Khadijah turned his face in the other direction.

Hearing Umi Khadijah's words, Aisyah ventured to raise her head. Look at the guest's face carefully.

"Dad .." said Aisha lirih.

"Aisha, he's your father son. Tito's father, and you're his son from a LEGITIMATE marriage" said Umi Khadijah.

Abi Tito also stood up to Aisyah who was still fixated with the speech of Umi Khadijah. Feelings of anxiety and panic since morning Aisyah felt, this time fruitful happiness and relief.

Abi Tito spread out his arms and hugged Aisyah. The first hug between father and son after 20 years is further separated by time and space. The bitter reality that Aisyah had felt did not know the figure of her mother and father, today Aisyah can feel the embrace of her biological father. The warm embrace that Aisyah wanted long ago. Is this hug up here or can it be forever.

Umi Khadijah could not see the happiness that emanated from both. His heart aches and pains to remember Abi Tito's mistake. His crying broke again.

"What's this about? why are Aisyah and Abi hugging?" tanya Fatima investigated, looking at Abi and Uminya in turn.

Umi was jolted in shock, her throat was choked until it was difficult to make a sound. Umi Khadijah wiped her tears and told Fatima to sit near Umi Khadijah.

"Kemari Fatima, Aisha's sister's dear. Fatima happy?" asked Umi Khadijah to Fatima.

"I'm so glad that Umi has an older brother like Aisyah" Fatima replied innocently.

"Sir Aisha will forever be Fatima's sister and will stay here forever as well. Fatima doesn't mind?" asked Umi Khadijah gently while stroking Fatima's back slowly.

Fatima got up and hugged Aisha from behind.

"Fatima is happy to have an older sister like Sister Aisyah" Fatima said sincerely.

Abi Tito released his embrace with Aisyah. Aisyah simply complied, her face had been soaked in tears. The silence of Aisyah carried her own inner wounds.

"Fatima, you brothers do not let you fight or dispute unnecessary things" Abi Tito told Fatima.

"Yes Abi, Fatima understands. Fatima is dear to brother Aisyah." said Fatima innocently.

Fatima's words increasingly make Aisyah's tears back profusely. Aisyah who is well received, and loved by this family like it has been part of his family for a long time.

Aisyah could feel the warmth of the family, having a Father, Umi, Big Brother and Little Sister. It was a long wait to have a full family.

"Thank you Dad for acknowledging Aisyah as Dad's son" Aisyah said slowly.

"Dear, forgive me, Ayesha" said Abi Tito, wiping her tears.

Fatima was only speechless at the closeness of Abinya to Aisyah. Questions arise but are reluctant to be disclosed.

"Fatima went to Umi's room first, Abi" Fatima said as she left the living room for her room.

Umi Khadijah also pursued Fatima, so that there is no misunderstanding for this problem. I need to explain everything in detail.

ceklek...

"Fatima darling? is there something you ask, baby?" ask Umi Khadijah slowly.

"Fatima was only confused Umi, as far as Fatima Kak Aisyah's father left Mother Aisyah when she was pregnant with Aisyah. Sister Aisyah's mother died after giving birth to sister Aisyah" said Fatima innocently.

"I'm sorry Umi, hasn't explained to you yet. Mas Fathan explained, yesterday Fatima was busy with Fatima business so Umi had not had time to tell. After meeting Fatima, Fatima always told me about Haikal" said Umi Khadijah softly.

"What if Haikal proposes to Fatima in the near future?" ask Umi Khadijah slowly.

"Fatima is still Umi's school" Fatima said slowly.

"And only Fatima's proposal, not married, later married her if Fatima had graduated from MA. Agreed?" ask Umi Khadijah.

"For Fatima, if there is the blessing of Abi and Umi Fatima willing." Fatima said slowly.

"There is one more thing that Umi wants to tell you, this is about Ayesha. Are you ready to listen? and the promise after hearing this explanation you will not hate anyone and will accept this reality with sincerity. How dear?" ask Umi Khadijah gently.

"Fatima promised Umi." replied Fatima with a widened smile.

So look Fatima, this goes back to twenty years ago. Umi also explained at length and detail. Seemed a disappointed look from Fatima's face, but managed to be cornered for reasons Umi money makes sense.

"So that's the story. Umi please you can accept well and sincerely if Kak Aisyah and Kak Suci is Big Brother Fatima" said Umi Khadijah softly.

"Yes Umi. Fatima understood, was shocked and disappointed with Abi. But Abi is not entirely guilty either. Fatima. Umi is patient." said Fatima softly.

The two women of different ages hugged each other, supported and forgave each other. The bitter reality will taste sweet when accepted sincerely.
