This Saturday the recitation was held at the Nurul Iman Mosque near Rhea's house. It is common every two weeks to hold a lecture at the mosque.
This time the speaker is Ustad Fariz because it replaces Ustad Yadi who is usually a speaker at the mosque at each lecture event.
Not only all the surrounding residents attended the mosque, even outside the village there were many who were always present in the study.
Ustad Fariz brought all the materials he had prepared well. Its quiet carrying can make the atmosphere comfortable.
His patient attitude makes pilgrims not hesitant to ask a lot of questions and the answers he gave were able to make them satisfied even laugh because interspersed with guyonan-guyonan from the Ustad who is able to be an antidote to drowsiness making they are still interested in listening.
And the plus point is that his handsome face and his very young age are able to hypnotize them, especially the women. Their eyes refused to turn from the Ustad.
The study ended, the worshipers flocked to leave the mosque area because the day was already late in the afternoon.
The recitation was held during the day after the duhur prayer together in the mosque. Mr. Adrian invited Ustad Fariz and the committee to eat at his house.
Mr. Adrian is one of the takmir in the mosque, and of course the food they eat is the cuisine of Mr. Adrian's wife, Bu Ratih, Mother of Rhea, and of course, the food they eat is the cuisine of Mr. Adrian's wife, Bu Ratih, famous caterers in the area.
But for food and consumption in every study, Ms. Ratih did not receive a penny, because she also wanted to become a donor like her husband who became a permanent donor at the Nurul Iman Mosque.
All the organizers left Mr. Adrian's house after eating. But Ustad Fariz still lives there because Mr. Adrian will take him home.
Mr. Adrian left Ustad Fariz for a while because he was briefing his wedding organizer for a wedding event managed by a wedding organizer owned by Mr. Adrian next week.
Ustad Fariz was still waiting for Mr. Adrian at the dinner table and Mrs Ratih who had accompanied Ustad Fariz chatted, taking a moment to the kitchen to wrap food to take home Ustad Fariz.
"Assalamu'alaikum Father, Mother... Rhea went home" Rhea went into the house and passed to the refrigerator to get a cold drink that could relieve dryness in her throat.
Incidentally, the refrigerator containing drinks and fruit is in the dining room, while the refrigerator in the kitchen is a refrigerator that contains kitchen needs, such as food, vegetables, meat, and so on.
Rhea took cold water and poured it into a glass, then she drank while standing in front of the refrigerator.
"Hmmmm.
Then he put the glass on the dining table and he sat down on the dining table chair without looking around.
"Wa'alaikumussalam, ", Mrs Ratih was caught running from the kitchen.
After being in the dining room and seeing Rhea sitting down while taking off her jacket, Madam Ratih suddenly stopped,
"Loh Rhea is home? How quiet did you hear a guest say hello?"
"Guests? Where exists. Rhea's people just came there's no one in front," Rhea replied casually as she untied her hair.
"Ow now, you are the one greeting earlier?" Madam Ratih gave her palm to Rhea to kiss the back of her hand.
"Hehehe.... Mom masa' do not know the cute and sexy voice of her own child?" rhea's string begins to show as usual if she is among people she knows.
However, if he does not know, surely he will be indifferent and seem unfriendly to others.
"Huffftt was tired I was Buuuu.", said Rhea as she stretched her body left and right.
As he faced to the left, his eyes clashed with those of Ustad Fariz. Rhea blinked her eyes because she was shocked and confused, who were the people she was seeing at the moment.
Very handsome, eye-pleasing. Who the hell? How come it's here? Is it your mom or dad's guest? But what's at the dinner table?
The questions came to Rhea's mind who was still in a confrontation with Ustad Fariz.
Similarly, Ustad Fariz is fascinated by the beauty and natural behavior of a girl who is still in Junior High School uniform in front of him.
God is beautiful in Your creation, of course the sentence was uttered Ustad Fariz in the heart.
It was not usual for him to be grounded like this when he saw the opposite sex. Usually he lowered his gaze or avoided direct eye gazes like this on the opposite sex.
Still in the position of turning his body to the left, Madam Ratih cleared her throat to resuscitate Rhea.
Mrs Ratih himself forgot if there was still Ustad Fariz there. He casually conversed with Rhea like no one else.
"Ehem..uh until forget that there is still Ustad Fariz here," Madam Ratih patted her forehead many times.
Rhea returned her posture and sat facing the other direction. He was ashamed to have acted like that in front of strangers.
Oh so his name is Ustad Fariz. Wait, what? The ustad? Yes, wear a full koko dress like that. Hah... embarrassed my silly behavior in front of a Ustad kayak. Where Ustad his handsome again. Aish... shame... shame.... shame.
Ustad Fariz pursed his lips, holding back his smile at the behavior of this girl in front of him. Now that he seemed to be embarrassed, his cheeks met red and did not dare to face towards him.
This time he was comforted by the behavior of a girl he had just met. There were indeed many women who approached him and paid attention to him, but he really did not like such a girl.
They should respect themselves by not approaching a man or even being too aggressive with the opposite sex who is not his mahram.
But this girl in front of him was different, her beauty was very natural and her manner was very natural, and strangely it managed to attract her attention.
"Rhea, knowing that Ustad Fariz had finished his studies at the Nurul Iman Mosque in place of Ustad Yadi," Bu Ratih introduced Ustad Fariz to Rhea.
Rhea turned her head and nodded while smiling at Ustad Fariz. He was confused as to what kind of acquaintance he should be because the one before him was an Ustad, whether he should shake his hand or give his greetings. Ah.. It is really just a matter of introducing yourself can make itself a dilemma.
Ustad Fariz smiled and nodded in response to a nod from Rhea. Ustad Fariz was confused to say hello and introduce herself to Rhea, because Rhea's reaction was only to smile and nod after Bu Ratih introduced her.
"Kok just diem-dieman? Don't you want to say hello to each other? Being embarrassed," Madam Ratih chuckled at them.
"Huh?" Rhea turned to her mother and she was awkwardly mixed with embarrassment, confused about what to do when her mother said that.
"Ustad, know this Rhea my son," Mrs Ratih introduced Rhea to Ustad Fariz.
The two of them looked confused as to what to do, it seemed like Bu Ratih was really teasing them.
Though only a matter of acquaintance is ribetnya begging for mercy, Rhea impenetrate restless.
Oh God, what do I do, why is it this ugly? Just facing a Junior High girl my tongue is a hoax, can't say anything. Why like this? Ustad Fariz also.
"What grade rhea?" Ustad Fariz ventured into opening the conversation to shake off their awkwardness.
"Class 3 of Ustad Junior High," Rhea replied with a bow, she still felt ashamed of her behavior earlier.
What the hell, time' My first impression was like gini? Ah... maluuuuuuuu.
"Cock down, there's a cockroach? Or is there money falling?" Ustad Fariz began to dare to tease Rhea.
Just this time he dared to tease a girl whose age could be said to be suitable as his sister.
Ah, maybe she's like my own sister, so I can easily interact with her, inner Ustad Fariz who was also astonished by her who suddenly could tease the girl in front of him easily she looked at him and smiled at him from now on, unlike himself who almost never interacted like that with any girl.
"Eh..," Rhea raised her head to look at Ustad Fariz, shocked at her words that were either a joke or a sneer because she didn't want to look at him while talking.
"Where did you go to school at this hour?" tanya Ustad Fariz broke Rhea's awkwardness.
"In SMPN 3. It was after high school an additional lesson, because it was already 3rd grade, so prepare for the test," now Rhea answered it with a little relaxed and looked at Ustad Fariz.
Ustad Fariz smiled to see Rhea who was now a little relaxed talking to him, not as awkward as earlier. Indeed, the carelessness of Ustad Fariz who is so relaxed, humorous and certainly charming can hit their awkwardness, and it was recognized Rhea in his heart.
Chat after chat took place in jest and finally they were briefly so familiar. Laughter was heard in all the rooms in the house.
Madam Ratih smiled hearing their laughter. Until finally their laughter stopped when Mr. Adrian came and Mr. Ratih came out of the kitchen with some food parcels handed to Ustad Fariz to take him home.
"It's Ustad, eaten later, may it fit on Ustad's tongue," Mrs Ratih handed over some of the parcels to Ustad Fariz.
"Alhamdulillah.... I don't have to bother, I've eaten here a lot, this alone is full, the end of the cuisine Mom is very good, until I don't feel like eating a lot and satiety," Ustad Fariz received the parcel felt uncomfortable troublesome from earlier.
"Gapapa Ustad, no nicotine really, food is still a lot inside. I'm glad that Ustad would stop by our house.
If you like Ustad Fariz can often stop by here yeah, playfully so, I'd already consider Ustad like my own son," Mrs Ratih held onto Ustad Fariz's shoulder and smiled like she was talking to her own son.
Ustad Fariz looked down, she was moved, her eyes were teary, for a long time she had not felt this way, the care and affection of a Mother whom she so desperately longed for.
"Loh Ustad why?" Mrs Ratih felt guilty, she was afraid that something would go wrong or offend Ustad Fariz.
"It's okay Mom, I just feel happy," Ustad Fariz looked at Mrs Ratih and smiled at her.
"Happy? Wh why? But how sad is that, you wanna cry?" Madam Ratih strapped him with a few questions because he felt uneasy.
"It's okay Mom, I just miss my Mom, it feels like I haven't felt a mother's attention like this for a long time. Thank you, ma'am," Ustad Fariz smiled warmly at Mrs Ratih.
"Occupy... Kirain's mother why. How can I miss it to that cry? Don't you think Ustad never went home because it was busy?" accuse Mrs Ratih of not knowing about Ustad Fariz's life.
Ustad Fariz smiled again and said, "Both of my parents have died since I was a toddler, after that I was taken care of by my mother's brother and when I was in elementary school I entered the boarding house and just came out yesterday - this morning," Ustad Fariz told his life to the family in front of him. Somehow he was so comfortable, that he did not hesitate to tell them about his personal life.
Though all this time he does not like to tell the story of his life to others, except his friends in Pondok and Kyai who have Pondok Pesantren where he has been looking for knowledge so far. But there are some Ustad also who know it, only some, not all.
"I'm sorry I want Ustad, I don't know. Do not be sad, I've considered this Ustad boy as our family, so just think of Mom as your own mother, and often play here, we all must be happy. Isn't it Dad?" Mr. Ratih asked Mr. Adrian's opinion and was accepted by him.
"Yes, often play here, every day can also, we even mingle," Mr. Adrian smiled to chimed in his wife's words.
"Thank you, sir, Mom, I'm so happy to be in the middle of a warm family like you. And thank you also ma'am for the food, have eaten a lot here is still packed to take home. Don't know yourself, Mom?" cananda Ustad Fariz broke the sad state of being carried away.
"Hahaha.. gapapa mumpung exist, if there is none, what do you want to bring? Masa' Rhea who you want to bring?" my mother's jokes chimed in from Ustad Fariz.
Pak Adrian and Ustad Fariz laughed at Mom's jokes, except for Rhea who suddenly frowned at her mother's jokes.
"Mother is happy that her son is not home" Rhea pouted, not accepting her mother's jokes.
In the heart of Ustad Fariz said, It's okay Mom I brought her Rhea home? I can make a wife too. Abaghfirullahal 'adzim... What do I think? unconsciously the sentences were thrown into the mind of Ustad Fariz and of course it was only spoken in his mind.
"And there is Rendi at home" replied lightly Bu Ratih teasing his sulking daughter.
"That's it... That mother, whatever Rendi," Rhea's lips pursed, as her mother said.
"Hahaha. bekanda dear, this is the look of his lips must go forward if it's tugging," Mother pinched Rhea's pursed lips.
And it was a laugh for Mr. Adrian and Ustad Fariz.
Then came a 9-year-old little boy.
"Assalamu'alaikum., ." Greetings from the little boy.
"Wa'alaikumussalam..here want acquaintance with Ustad first," Mr. Adrian waved his hand at the boy to get closer to him.
"Ustad, this is Rendi's sister Rhea. We only have two children, and these are our children" Adrian introduced Rendi to Ustad Fariz.
Rendi approached and kissed the back of Ustad Fariz's hand as a sign of respect. Ustad Faris smiled and stroked the top of Rendi's head when her hand had slipped from Rendi's.
"Sir, Ma'am, please let me go home first, I've been here too long" said Ustad Fariz to resign.
"Cock in a hurry, son? Here aja all dinner, it let the package Mother save first, later if you want to go home just brought again," prevent Bu Ratih hold Ustad Fariz longer still there.
"Not good Mom, it will be more troublesome for Mom again. For dinner later there will be this to eat later," Ustad Fariz lifted up the parcel from Mrs Ratih to show her that she had food for the evening.
"Yes, I can't forbid, but I hope that Ustad wants to play here often even if there is no need," Mrs Ratih smiled warmly at Ustad Fariz.
Ustad Fariz smiled, then cupped his hands in front of his chest. "Assalamualaikum..," Ustad Fariz said to everyone.
"Wa'alaikumussalam..," replied simultaneously all those who were there.
"Mom, I'm taking Ustad Fariz home first. Assalamu'alaikum..," said Mr. Adrian to his wife.
"Wa'alaikumussalam.enggeh Yah, be careful on the road. Oh yes Well then please ask for his cell phone number Ustad Fariz, if we need it," Mrs Ratih kissed the back of her husband's hand before Mr. Adrian left. And Mr. Adrian nodded and gave his thumbs up in response.
