First Love of Ustadz

Chapter 104 Lose before the war

Less than three days later, Ustadz Jaki and Shinta's wedding will be held. For three days, some preparations have been made by the wedding organizer Mr. Adrian.

All the santri and the Ustadz and Ustadzah were shocked by the wedding preparations that had been held in the Pondok Pesantren Al-Mukmin area. They all wondered who would marry in the Pondok Pesantren Al-Mukmin area.

"Ustadz, Ustadz Bani.. It's preparation for the wedding right?" asked Ustadzah Farida to Ustadz Bani who was walking in front of him.

"Oh that's.. Yeah, why?" answered Ustadz Bani as he turned to the tents that were being installed and decorated.

"Who was Ustadz married to?" tanya Ustadzah Indri and Ustadzah Annisa only listen to their chat while sticking in the newly printed rules.

"You don't know yet?" asked Ustadz Bani as he looked at them and answered with a headband by Ustadzah Farida and Ustadzah Indri.

"Ustadz Jaki is getting married. At most later or tomorrow there will be an announcement. I asked, I stayed first. Assalamu'alaikum.," said Ustadz Bani by not directly stopping their questions to him and walking away from them without listening to their answer first.

"Wa'alaikumussalam..," said the three at the same time.

"Who's Ustadz with?" tanya Ustadzah Indri dnegan half yelled when Ustadz Bani had walked away from them and got no response from Ustadz Bani.

Ustadzah Farida smiled at Ustadz Bani who never responded to questions from Ustadzah Farida and Ustadzah Indri who always find out about something from the Umi Sarifah family.

Ustadzah Farida's face changed when he heard that he was getting married was Ustadz Jaki. He was silent, unable to hear if the man he had been waiting for was going to marry another woman.

"Ustadzah, Ustadzah Indri gapapa? Ustadz Jaki will marry another woman. Is Ustadzah Indri going to be quiet?" the Ustadzah Indri at Ustadzah Farida.

"Well, what do you want? Want a demo to call off the wedding? Who are we really? That means you're not a match. Just accept it, and find another man who might be your soul mate," said Ustadzah Anisa after tidying up the results of his paste in the mading.

"Not so Ustadzah, would Ustadzah Farida take it for granted before expressing his feelings for Ustadz Jaki?" the Ustadzah Indri.

"Yes must accept dong, Ustadzah Farida is not the woman of choice of Ustadz Jaki, and we cannot force Ustadz Jaki to choose Ustadzah Farida as his wife" said Ustadzah Anisa a little upset.

"Ustadzah Anisa this how the hell, time' does not support his own friends?" sewot Ustadzah Indri's.

"Astaghfirullahaladhim... Ustadzah, precisely because I am a friend of Farida Ustadzah I remind him that he does not damage other people's relationships, especially if they are married. Not good Ustadzah," now the voice of Ustadzah Anisa low so that Ustadzah Farida and Ustadzah Indri really understand its seriousness.

"But I mean let Ustadzah Farida can express his feelings first, so that he does not regret, lost before the war," said Ustadzah Indri who intended to advise Ustadzah Farida.

"Keep if you have been frank and rejected are you not ashamed if you meet him later? Then if you're being frank, will this marriage be void?" asked Ustadzah Anisa with the intention of resuscitating.

"Who knows if they feel the same, only they are embarrassed or maybe this is an arranged marriage. And after that the wedding could have been canceled and the bride replaced with Ustadzah Farida. Could be, right? We will not know if we do not try it" said Ustadzah Indri reassured his thoughts on Ustadzah Farida and Ustadzah Anisa.

"You're a very big ngeyel Ustadzah Indri. Yo wes is up to you. Anyway, I warned you. If it is true that Ustadz Jaki has the same feeling as Ustadzah Farida, why did not he preach Ustadzah Farida. During this time Ustadzah Farida has approached Ustadz Jaki continues, has given a signal. If the signal is not received, it does not mean for him. Excuse me first. Assalamu'alaikum..," Ustadzah Anisa left Ustadzah Farida and Ustadzah Indri was still there.

Ustadzah Farida just silently listened to the debate between Ustadzah Indri and Ustadzah Anisa. In his deepest little heart, he confirmed the speech of Ustadzah Anisa, but the words of Ustadzah Indri made him want to find out the truth of Ustadz Jaki's feelings for her. He did not want to be called defeated before the war by Ustadzah Indri.

"Ustadzah... Ustadzah Farida gima -"

The cry of Ustadzah Farida could no longer be contained. His tears fell so hard to accompany the pain of his heart that was just present when he heard the news of Ustadz Jaki's wedding.

Oh Allah... Why does my love story have to be like this? Just this time I liked men and only this time also I felt heartache. It hurts so much, God.... Ustadzah Farida said inwardly accompanying her sobbing.

"Ustadzah... Ustadzah... Ustadzah Farida," Ustadzah Indri called Ustadzah Farida by rubbing her back.

"Please, leave me alone" said Ustadzah Farida interrupted by his sobbing.

"But-"

"Ustadzah..please," with a quivering voice interspersed with his sobbing, Ustadzah Farida begged Ustadzah Indri to leave her alone.

And finally inevitably Ustadzah Indri left him alone in his room.

"Ustadzah Farida, mumpung has not happened his marriage, you should express your feelings, before you regret it later," exclaimed Ustadzah Indri from the front door of Ustadzah Farida's room.

Anisa Ustadzah who happened to be going back to the room to hear the speech of Ustadzah Indri, she shook her head while rubbing her chest and beristighfar.

"Astaghfirullahaladhim... Ustadzah Indri, when can your path of thought change?" said Ustadzah Anisa Iirih still staring wonder at Ustadzah Indri who will go from the front room Ustadzah Farida.

At home Umi Sarifah is already very crowded with preparations for the wedding of Ustadz Jaki and Shinta. The aura of happiness from Ustadz Jaki was clearly visible on his face. Everyone was busy preparing for it with Rhea and her parents.

Rhea and her mother made a cake for the event. But Mrs Ratih, Rhea's mother forbids Rhea to do anything heavy and must rest at certain hours. Similarly, Umi Sarifah who suggested the same thing with Mrs Ratih, she also did not want to happen bad things to her future grandchildren who are still in the womb.

Some Ustadzah and Ustadz came to help with the preparation of the event. And there is also Ustadzah Farida who came with other Ustadzah because asked by Umi Sarifah to make decorations for the ceremony.

Ustadzah Farida's heart ached when she saw all the gifts she would decorate for the future wife of the man she loved, the man she always dreamed of being her husband.

"Ustadzah, Ustadzah Farida all right?" tanya Ustadzah Indri at Ustadzah Farida.

Ustadzah Farida held back her tears, she just nodded not daring to answer the question of Ustadzah Indri for fear that her crying voice would come out.

"Well done, Ustadzah Indri and Ustadzah Farida please these two are placed in the living room yes," Ustadzah Nurul asked Ustadzah Indri and Ustadzah Farida.

Without answering they immediately stood up and brought the decorated offerings into the living room in accordance with the orders of Ustadzah Nurul. They did not dare to argue or reject the request of Ustadzah Nurul because Ustadzah Nurul is a senior Ustadzah who is older than them and has served longer in Pondok Pesantren Al-Mukmin.

Ustadzah Indri walking in front of Ustadzah Farida. And after they put the offering, they came out of the living room and it turned out that there was a family photo consisting of Umi Sarifah, Ustadz Fariz, Rhea and Ustadz Jaki. Next to her is a wedding photo of Ustadz Fariz and Rhea.

Ustadzah Indri stopped to see the photo, he wondered if he was in the photo next to Ustadz Fariz who is Kyai from Pondok Pesantren Al-Mukmin.

Ustadzah Farida stopped his footsteps when he passed Ustadz Jaki when he was going out of the middle room and Ustadz Jaki was going to enter the middle room. With a reflex Ustadzah Farida stopped his steps and said,

"Did Ustadz Jaki ever like me?"
