After the prayer, Ustadzah Rani came to the house of Umi Sarifah to fulfill the call of Umi Sarifah and Ustadz Fariz.
In the living room Ustadzah Rani faced Umi Sarifah, Ustadz Fariz, and Ustadz Jaki. In the room was the first time Ustadzah Rani faced directly with the family owners of Pondok Pesantren Al-Mukmin simultaneously, usually Ustadzah Rani only face to face with them and even if there is a need.
And now, Ustadzah Rani had to deal with the three of them just because Ustadzah Indri who acted in his place to teach at Pondok Pesantren Al-Mukmin.
"Sorry Umi, what am I called here?" Ustadzah Rani asked politely to Umi Sarifah.
"Look Ustadzah, sorry if you disturb Ustadzah Rani to tell Ustadzah to come here, this has something to do with Ustadzah Indri," Umi Sarifah began to inform him of the intention of calling Ustadzah Rani to come to Pondok Pesantren Al-Mukmin facing Umi Sarifah.
"Indri's Ustadzah? What's wrong with him Umi?" Ustadzah Rani asked with curiosity.
"Ustadz Jaki, tell Ustadzah Rani what happened," Umi Sarifah told Ustadz Jaki to tell him what Ustadzah Indri did.
Ustadz Jaki immediately told what was done by Ustadzah Indri so as to cause unrest for the family owners of Pondok Pesantren Al-Mukmin. Ustadz Fariz added to what Ustadz Jaki had not yet delivered to Ustadzah Rani.
Ustadzah Rani's face was very embarrassed. He has become a Ustadzah in Pondok Pesantren Al-Mukmin with good predicate and never embarrassed himself, his family or Pondok Pesantren Al-Mukmin. But now his name is humiliated by Ustadzah Indri who is his cousin.
Ustadzah Rani's hand gripped her robe as she felt angry at Ustadzah Indri. His heart was filled with anger because it made him ashamed in front of the family of the owner of Pondok Pesantren Al-Mukmin who had been very good to him and his family. Until Ustadzah Rani did not dare to stare towards the front where Umi Sarifah, Ustadz Fariz and Ustadz Jaki were sitting right in front of him. Ustadzah Rani just lowered her head in embarrassment to them.
"Ustadzah Rani, what about Ustadzah? What should we do to Ustadzah Indri?" Umi Sarifah asked Ustadzah Rani after Ustadz Jaki and Ustadz Fariz told him everything in Ustadzah Rani.
"Sorry Umi, Kyai, Ustadz. Sorry for what Ustadzah Indri did. I am deeply ashamed of the conduct of Ustadzah Indri. I honestly don't know why he did it that way. I will ask him and I will scold him Umi, I will forbid him to approach Kyai Fariz again" Ustadzah Rani said with a bowed head and a pleading voice.
"Sorry Ustadzah, can Ustadzah Rani not teach again as soon as possible? So I mean that Ustadzah Rani who teaches again and Ustadzah Indri no longer need to be here," Ustadz Fariz now speaks to say his desire to remove Ustadzah Indri from Pondok Pesantren Al-Mukmin.
"Actually I'll be back teaching next week Kyai. Can Ustadzah Indri still replace me until I return to teaching next week so that the teaching staff is not empty when I have not returned to teaching? Later let me reprimand Ustadzah Indri to keep his attitude," Ustadzah Rani said hesitantly.
Ustadz Fariz, Ustadz Jaki and Umi Sarifah looked at each other. They are confused as to what to decide. Letting no teachers or allowing Ustadzah Indri to continue teaching as long as Ustadzah Rani has not returned.
"How's Umi?" ask Ustadz Fariz to Umi Sarifah.
Ustadz Fariz could not impose his will because this matter concerned the Pondok Pesantren Al-Mukmin. Therefore he asked for advice from Umi Sarifah. If indeed Ustadzah Indri had to remain in Pondok Pesantren Al-Mukmin for a while, Ustadz Fariz could not prevent it.
"What do you think of Le?" Umi Sarifah asked Ustadz Fariz.
"Sorry Umi, actually Fariz prefers the safety of Umi. Fariz did not want any more trouble and would end up harming Rhea and her womb. It had been many times like this Umi, and it was difficult for Fariz to forgive himself. But if Umi wanted Ustadzah Indri to still be here for a while, Fariz understood Umi, Fariz would accept," Ustadz Fariz ventured himself to say his wish.
"So, Ustadzah Indri just dismissed Umi?" Ustadz Jaki asked to state the outcome of the conversation.
Umi Sarifah nodded in agreement and asked Ustadzah Rani to return to teaching as soon as possible because her position was not filled and also Umi Sarifah requested that Ustadzah Rani invite Ustadzah Indri to pack up and leave Pondok Al-mukmin.
With guilt Ustadzah Rani left the house of Umi Sarifah to the room Ustadzah Indri to take her away from Pondok Pesantren Al-Mukmin.
At first Ustadzah Indri refused, but stubbornly could be conquered by Ustadzah Rani because Ustadzah Rani knew the weakness of Ustadzah Indri. Finally with a heavy heart Ustadzah Indri would obey the order of Ustadzah Rani to come home with him and not return to teach at Pondok Pesantren Al-Mukmin.
Ustadzah Rani and Ustadzah Indri say goodbye to Umi Sarifah's house, but Ustadz Fariz and Ustadz Jaki are no longer in the living room, only Umi Sarifah met them and Umi Sarifah did not deliberately call Ustadz Fariz and Ustadz Jaki because Umi Sarifah did not want to happen again.
It is clearly seen that Ustadzah Indri searched for Ustadz Fariz. His eyes combed every inch of the room so that it could be seen from the movements of his eyes stealing the view by looking at another room.
Finally Ustadzah Indri came home without meeting and saying goodbye to Ustadz Fariz. He did not meet Ustadz Fariz, but he was sure that they would meet another time because he was sure that they were dating just because he felt like and wanted to have Ustadz Fariz at first sight.
......................
The night breeze hit Rhea's skin on the balcony of her room. Suddenly there was a stocky arm coiled around Rhea's waist. Fragrant perfume tang attached to the body of Ustadz Fariz is already attached to the nose and memory of Rhea, so without turning her head even Rhea knew if it was her husband.
Ustadz Fariz placed his chin on the recess of Rhea's neck, which was still wrapped in hijab, and inhaled deeply the scent of his wife's familiar body.
"What did you think was Titanic again?" the sound of Ustadz Jaki makes the romantic scenes of Ustadz Fariz and Rhea pause.
Ustadz Fariz and Rhea turned to the side and on the balcony of Ustadz Jaki's room were Ustadz Jaki and Shinta with their balconies about seven meters away.
"Ck, just interrupt. What the hell's going on here?" Ustadz Fariz upset their show was interrupted.
"We'll see the stars again, won't we, baby?" Ustadz Jaki asks for Shinta's support.
"Normally never see the stars, why now so watch the stars?" Ustadz Fariz sneered at Ustadz Jaki.
"It used to be alone, if now already have a wife yes in the quarters dong greet the stars, let's be romantic. Is that what can be romantic?" Ustadz Jaki said he would not lose to Ustadz Fariz.
"Yes dear, let's go in" Ustadz Fariz invited Rhea into the room.
"Honey.. we play Titanic-Titanic an yuk their kayak," Ustadz Jaki invites Shinta in a spoiled voice and raises his eyebrows making Shinta run into the room leaving Ustadz Jaki with his wish.
