First Love of Ustadz

Chapter 109 If only...

The area in Pondok Pesantren Al-Mukmin is also no less dark with the house of Umi Sarifah. The difference is that many small lights from candles are lit from each room.

"Ustadzah, Ustadzah Farida. ssst..," Ustadzah Indri called Ustadzah Farida because he could not sleep with the lights out.

"Opaan the heck Ustadzah," answered the very sleepy Ustadzah Farida.

"Ustadzah, this is not a prayer from Ustadzah Farida right?" tanya Ustadzah Indri who intends to find friends to chat.

Ustadzah Farida is indeed room with Ustadzah Indri. While Ustadzah Anisa room is located next to the room Ustadzah Farida and Ustadzah Indri.

"I mean Ustadzah?" Ustadzah Farida asked, puzzled by what Ustadzah Indri had said.

"Yes aja Ustadzah Farida prayed that the first night Ustadz Jaki and his wife failed" said Ustadzah Indri while chuckling.

"Astaghfirullahaladzim Ustadzah. Udah ah, I want to sleep first," said Ustadzah Farida upset at Ustadzah Indri's accusations.

"I'm sorry, I was just. But Ustadzah, how was his first night when the dark gini?" said Ustadzah Indri who was really curious about what a pair of newlyweds did.

"Udah, Ustadzah just sleep. Why try taking care of someone else's first night. I slept there, let his mind go nowhere," Ustadzah Farida cut off his conversation with Ustadzah Indri.

......................

Mirna felt a tremendous pain back in her stomach. At Ustadz Jaki's wedding, he was eager to attend, not because he wanted to congratulate her because Ustadz Jaki and himself never got along. It's just that he wants to feel at Pondok Pesantren Al-Mukmin at a big event like the wedding celebration.

It would have been nice if I had been there, there were a lot of people who knew me as the wife of Kyai Pondok Pesantren Al-Mukmin and surely everyone would respect me, Mirna said in her heart as she looked from afar at the tent inside the Pesantren Al-Mukmin Cottage.

Mirna pretended to walk around the Pondok Pesantren Al-Mukmin area and stopped at the front gate of Pondok Pesantren Al-Mukmin which was a lot of sellers to buy snacks.

"Eh how is it that Miss Mirna, his ex-wife Kyai Fariz, was divorced for hurting her husband's second wife?" the sound of mothers selling in the front area of the gate of Pondok Pesantren Al-Mukmin.

"Is he not on this show?" ask the other sellers.

"Isn't he seriously ill? Masa' can you take a walk?" the voices of other mothers.

"Truly sick? You know where?" ask the other mothers.

"Mom don't know yet? Everyone knows it" replied the mother who had told him.

"Somely there is no way she is there, reportedly she has been banned from entering the Pondok Pesantren Al-Mukmin area" said other mothers.

Why is it banned? Masa' her ex-husband that loaf? He's Kyai at Al-Mukmin Pondok Pesantren right?" ask the seller's mothers from the village next door.

"How not prohibited, wong Bu Mirna if it comes there always hurt the wife of her ex-husband. Twice she has made her husband's wife almost miscarry" explained the other sellers' mothers.

Mirna did not want to hear about gossip about herself, she finally left the place. And the mothers selling there looked suspiciously at the woman wearing the black scarf with the veil who left after they talked about Mirna.

Arriving in front of the house, he was greeted by Anita who was dressed neatly to attend the wedding of Ustadz Jaki and Shinta. Mr. Ratmo has been there since this morning.

"Where's Ma'am from?" asked Anita who was standing in front of the door about to close the door.

"Just take a walk" Mirna answered briefly.

"Mak Mirna's at home, yeah, I'll"

"You are leaving" said Mirna as she passed by Anita to enter the house.

Anita did not want to take a headache, she left the house to Pondok Pesantren Al-Mukmin. While Mirna herself in the house felt the boredom hit and a feeling of uneasiness about her life.

Due to too many thoughts, Mirna again felt pain in her stomach. But those thoughts never go away, even increasing when he feels pain. She wondered if she was sick like this surely her husband would take care of her, pamper her and worry so that her husband would routinely check her into the hospital.

The pain in his stomach grew as his mind deepened to make his grief increase. Mirna moved from the TV room to the room when the pain was felt she could not hold. He lay himself down on his stomach understanding the pain in his stomach, but sometimes he arched his body and pressed the aching part of his stomach.

Anita and Mr. Ratmo have been in the TV room for a long time, but Mirna is not out of her room. Anita was told by Mr. Ratmo to see Mirna in her room.

Mirna was not in the bedroom until Anita and Mr. Ratmo went home. Anita sees Mirna sleeping in cold sweat soaking her temples and forehead.

"Mirna why?" mr. Ratmo asked a little surprised.

"Mbak Mirna sleeps but there's a lot of cold sweat, sir..Try me to see. Cepetan Sir. Come..," said Anita, pulling Mr. Ratmo's hand toward Mirna's room.

Mr. Ratmo saw Mirna's pale face and cold sweat made him worry so much about her. Nduk, try to wake your mother, who knows she wants to wake up," said Mr. Ratmo told Anita.

Then Anita wakes Mirna and she opens her eyes slightly.

"Mbak Mirna gapapa" asked Anita who was sitting on the bed to wake Mirna.

Mirna shook her head and said, "Same as usual Nit."

"Mirna, we'll check back to the hospital. Uncle thinks you should get more treatment than you do now" Mr. Ratmo gave his opinion to Mirna.

"I'm afraid of getting injected by Uncle" Mirna said.

"Uncle does not accept Mir's refusal, anyway we have to go to the house sa-"

Suddenly the lights went out so that Mr. Ratmo's speech was not continued.

"Candles. candles.. Quickly light the candles. You want to check in front first," said Mr. Ratmo as he walked slowly and his hands fumbled to get out of Mirna's room towards the outside of the house.

And it turns out Mr. Ratmo saw outside his house was also pitch black. Then she goes back inside her house carefully and returns to meet Anita and Mirna to tell her that there is a power outage from the center. And force Mirna to obey him so that tomorrow Mirna will check herself into the hospital again.

The next day Mirna again refused when Mr. Ratmo took her to the hospital. He said that he was better after taking his medicine last night and indeed Mirna's face was not as pale as yesterday but only slightly pale, and her body was not as weak as yesterday.

Even now Mirna is trying to prove that her body is fine by helping Anita cook in the kitchen and clean the house so that Mr. Ratmo believes that he is fine.

Mr. Ratmo believed it and he no longer forced Mirna to go to the hospital now.

......................

The next day, their routine at Pondok Pesantren Al-Mukmin returned as usual. Ustadz Fariz and Ustadz Jaki are again busy at Pondok Pesantren. Shinta and Rhea are at home with Umi Sarifah to cook while sharing stories. They plan to cook a special meal for today. Shinta is still getting leave from the hospital where she works, so she can get closer to people who are in Al-Mukmin Pondok Pesantren.

Ustadzah Farida avoids any chance he will meet with Ustadz Jaki. It did not escape the view of Ustadzah Anisa, but Ustadzah Anisa did not want to ask, he wanted to let Ustadzah Farida to calm himself and introspect him.

Ustadz Jaki realized that Ustadzah Farida was trying to avoid him, and that made Ustadz Jaki relieved that nothing would make his wife jealous.

It's good that she knows herself, rather than my wife jealous of the danger. Where else beautiful newlyweds again. The danger is that if you do not get rations, Ustadz Jaki chuckled while saying in his heart.

"Laughter, again the twinkling of newlyweds huh Ustadz?" canda Ustadz Bani while beside Ustadz Jaki.

"Cieee newlyweds," ledek Ustadzah Nurul who is also in the teaching room.

"Ah kayak do not know," Ustadz Jaki answered the ledge of Ustadz Bani and Ustadzah Nurul.

Ustadzah Farida who was in the room was just looking down pretending not to hear anything, unlike usual who was joking with them.

If only I had married Ustadz Jaki, it would not have been like this. It must have been their teasing and joking for both of us... Hufft...

And there were other jokes and jokes from the Ustadz and Ustadzah who were in the teaching room that made Ustadz Jaki their target.

"Dear, wait a minute, yeah" Ustadz Fariz's voice stopped the commotion in the lecture room.

Rhea called asking that Ustadz Fariz and Ustadz Jaki immediately go home to eat with them. Therefore Ustadz Fariz immediately approached Ustadz Jaki who was definitely in the teaching room with a position still talking by phone with his wife.

"Ustadz let's go home, our angels are waiting for us at home" whispered Ustadz Fariz in the ear of Ustadz Jaki.

At once the look on Ustadz Jaki's face became happy and his eyes sparkled. Soon he got out of his chair and walked with Ustadz Fariz out of the room to Umi Sarifah's house. The two of them could not wait to meet their wives soon. Especially Ustadz Jaki who is feeling like always being with his wife.

"Kyai wait, I want to talk," a woman's voice made Ustadz Fariz stop his steps.
