First Love of Ustadz

Chapter 10 Surgical book

Umi Sarifah was very curious to see the look on the face of Ustad Fariz who was so happy, especially Ustad Jaki said that Ustad Fariz had met Zahra. So when Mirna had returned home, Umi Sarifah asked Ustad Fariz to tell her.

"Le can tell Umi the same story?" Umi Sarifah stopped Ustad Fariz from returning home.

Ustad Fariz nodded. "Can Umi."

Then they went into Umi Sarifah's room and Ustad Fariz told her everything. Umi Sarifah was also happy to hear they were reunited and that made Ustad Fariz more alive.

"Maybe it's your destiny to be together" Umi Sarifah said softly and smiled.

"But Umi...," Ustad Fariz's sentence hangs because he hesitates.

"But what is le?" ask Umi Sarifah.

"How can Umi?" ustad Fariz's voice weakened.

"Everything can be done with God's permission. Trust everything in God. Just follow the plot and follow your heart and also ask Allah," answered Umi Sarifah a little relief Ustad Fariz.

"Don't forget to introduce her to Umi huh," Umi smiled gently at Ustad Fariz's heart.

It is true that Ustad Fariz is more often in Ndalem to accompany Umi Sarifah than at home. It is not that Ustad Fariz ignored his wife, it is just that his wife who sometimes prefers to be at home than long in Ndalem.

Sometimes when Umi Sarifah needs a friend even Mirna is not there with her. That sometimes makes Umi Sarifah sad, because she wants to have a child or daughter-in-law close to her, who can accompany her even though she is not always with him.

Ustad Fariz asked Mirna to accompany Umi Sarifah often, but she only came if she wanted to. I don't know Ustad Fariz also did not understand the attitude of his wife, while Ustad Fariz also could not force him.

Rhea looked at herself in the mirror. A green dress of syar'i with a matching veil covering her chest and long back.

He rarely wears clothes like this. Even her ex-husband only allows her to wear a covered dress if there is a teaching event only.

Especially if at home, her ex-husband requires her to wear skimpy clothes only, because she likes to see Rhea wearing skimpy clothes. Be now the clothes Rhea mostly tight or minimal.

Now Rhea was in the car escorted by Mr. Sardi to go to Pondok Pesantren Al-Mukmin. Today is the day that Rhea will share knowledge with students in Pondok Pesantren Al-Mukmin. He's already prepared some of his books for the book surgery today.

Pondok Pesantren Al-Mukmin's writing plaque is clearly visible, how nervous Rhea feels at this time. He was afraid that if he could not blend in with them so he was not welcome in that place.

He was also afraid that his show would fail because his presentation was not good enough. All those fears filled Rhea's mind. When the car had stopped, Rhea was still sitting sweetly in her chair, until Mr. Sardi called her to wake Rhea from her reverie of thought.

With a pounding heart Rhea ushered Mr. Sardi into the territory of Pondok. There was already Ustad Fariz and Ustad Jaki waiting on the terrace of Ndalem.

Ustad Fariz was stunned to see the green-blamis woman before his eyes. He was so overwhelmed that he could say nothing. He had never seen Rhea wearing shar'i clothes like this.

It is like an angel who comes down to the earth.

Ustad Jaki nudged Ustad Fariz's arm so he realized then he invited Rhea and Mr. Sardi to meet with Umi Sarifah.

"Assalamu'alaikum, Umi this is Rhea and this is Mr. Sardi who drove him here" Ustad Fariz introduced them.

"Wa'alaikumusalam, oiya please come in. Sit down first, let drinks be made yes," Umi Sarifah was about to stand but was stopped by Rhea.

"No need Umi, we are full, later after the event is over," Rhea replied with a smile that was as sweet as ever.

Umi looked at Rhea, then she looked at Ustad Fariz. Umi understood what Ustad Fariz's gaze meant to Rhea when Ustad Fariz saw Mirna. Ustad Fariz did not know that Umi Sarifah had noticed him.

"This is Zahra? Beautiful, worthy of someone who can not move on, "Umi Sarifah slightly teased Rhea.

"Normally called Rhea Umi" Rhea's cheeks met red.

"Lha Ustad Fariz, who called him Zahra?" Umi Sarifah is now teasing Ustad Fariz.

"Ah yes Umi is Rheina Az Zahra, usually called Rhea" Ustad Fariz defended herself.

"Mi's beloved calling" was always Ustad Jaki sitting next to Ustad Fariz.

Ustad Fariz gazed at Ustad Jaki as a warning sign. But Ustad Jaki smiled mockingly.

Rhea was embarrassed.

"Owalah has a special call to," now a smiling Umi seduces both of them.

"Udah yuk we go straight there, this is the time," Ustad Jaki did not have the heart to tempt them again.

"Oh yes already if you go there first, then Umi will go there, Umi wants to see how the charm of Zahranya Ustad Fariz," Umi Sarifah chuckled with the expression of the two brands who were shocked and embarrassed when Umi said it.

"E. em Umi, this is a cake made by Rhea, eaten yes Mi, said Ustad Fariz yesterday Umi like," Rhea nervously gave a box of cakes that she had brought.

"Your homemade cake is delicious," praised Umi Sarifah.

"Thank you Umi, thank God that Umi likes," Rhea smiled sweetly as usual.

"It should be delicious cake, which makes beautiful gini, it must be delicious. Umi aja until the seizure of the same cake Ustad Fariz," joking Umi made Rhea become comfortable and unencumbered. The fear that he was worried about, was now gone somewhere. He was so happy to be in this place.

After that Ustad Fariz and Ustad Jaki took Rhea to the hall where all the santri princesses and sons had gathered. Rhea was a little groggy as all eyes looked at her. Ustad Fariz calmed him down. He accompanied Rhea and gave her encouragement and support.

First Rhea introduced herself, then she took one of her books and explained it. Over time Rhea was carried away by a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere, she could attract the students to study and ask questions.

In the question and answer session a lot of students who ask and explanation Rhea was very easy to understand by them, so in the specified time they are still not enough to ask. They asked to hold a special lesson taught by Rhea.

Ustad Fariz could only promise if he would consider it with Ustad and the other Ustadzahs.

After the event was over, Rhea decided to take a walk around the cottage, while Ustad Fariz was talking about the desire of the students who wanted Rhea to teach them.

The Ustad and Ustadzah agreed with the santri's request. And Ustad Fariz wanted to get this news to Rhea, but he did not see Rhea around the hall, so he went around looking for her.

Rhea was now sitting on the grass and she was facing the lake. Very calm he felt. Unfortunately at this time he did not carry a stationery so he could not write what was in his head.

Umi Sarifah approached Rhea, and Umi Sarifah noticed Rhea in the hall. Especially when Ustad Fariz was always there to accompany him. They looked at each other and smiled without them noticing. It was very harmonious thought Umi Sarifah.

"What is Nduk doing?" Umi Sarifah holds Rhea's shoulder.

Rhea was shocked and looked over.

"Eh Umi, this is Loh Mi, here is very quiet, perfect for finding inspiration for writing. Hehehe..," Rhea said the wish she judged was ridiculous.

"Truely, this is the place that suits you. Do you want to stay here?" tanya Umi Sarifah who actually really expects the figure of Rhea in her home.

I don't know why Umi Sarifah is so happy and feels that she can be close to Rhea.

"Can I Mi'?" asked Rhea enthusiastically.

"May dong, then also may be," replied Umi by stroking Rhea's hand.

Ustad Fariz stood not far from them. He silently looked at the two women he loved. Never had she seen Umi Sarifah this happy and this close to a new person. Even with Mirna, Umi was never close like that and even impressed hesitant to tell her.

"Ustad, what are you doing?" the voice of Ustad Jaki made the two women turn their heads.

Umi Sarifah and Rhea approached them, and Ustad Jaki told them that the food was ready. They also walked to Umi Sarifah's house to eat together.

Mirna was waiting for them to eat. Mirna ate a cake made by Rhea which she gave to Umi Sarifah.

"Umi, this is yesterday's cake. Umi's given again the same person?" ask Mirna while eating Rhea's brownies.

"Yes was brought. Let's eat first" Umi Sarifah invited everyone to eat together.

"Who the heck is Umi making this cake, why is it not sold in the store?" ask Mirna who is still curious.

"Not everyone thinks it's just money. There are also those who think that giving free cakes can make people happy" said Ustad Jaki.

"That's you, it's a pity that it's not good to sell," Mirna still thought.

Rhea was just downcast, confused in this kind of situation. Umi Sarifah knew if Rhea was uncomfortable, Umi Sarifah held Rhea's hand and smiled as Rhea looked at her. Umi's treatment made Rhea a little comfortable, then Rhea returned Umi Sarifah's smile.

After the meal was over, Rhea let him go home, but Umi Sarifah still wanted to be with him. Actually Rhea could not refuse it, but Mirna asked about her origin so that it made Rhea uncomfortable to be there.

Umi Sarifah understood and she allowed Rhea to come home. Ustad Fariz could only refrain from talking and drove Rhea into the car because there was still Mirna who somehow this time he felt at home in Ndalem. But after Rhea's departure, Mirna also joined the party to return home.

"Le, Umi knows you still have the same heart as her. Umi also know that you actually still love each other, from the look of your eyes it is very clear. How's le?"
