First Love of Ustadz

Chapter 119 Prayer is prayer

Shinta is caught off guard by the ramblings of Dr. Randi. It was eager for her to walk up to her husband and pull him away from Ustadzah Farida and the middle-aged woman that Shinta believed was the mother of Ustadzah Farida. However what power, Shinta is still limp, she is not sure if she can walk as she thinks. While the wheelchair was held tightly by Dr. Randi, so Shinta could not get away from him.

"Dok, please take off my wheelchair!" Shinta raised her voice in the hope that Ustadz Jaki would hear her and immediately help her get away from Dr. Randi.

"Where's Doctor Shinta going? That's your husband still talking to other women. Doctor Shinta here I just accompany," said Dr. Randi with a sweet smile.

Shinta looked at her husband who was also looking at her, but the middle-aged woman who was with her husband spoke nonstop. And every time her husband was about to move, the hand of the middle-aged woman was holding the hand of her husband wrapped in cocoa clothes, so that her husband could not avoid them.

According to Shinta's view, her current husband was almost the same as her. Ustadz Jaki couldn't avoid being disrespectful if he left an older person talking to him. In contrast to Shinta, she cannot shy away from Dr. Randi as she is powerless to break away from the clutches of Dr. Randi.

"Sorry Mom, my wife is waiting, I'm sorry. Assalamu'alaikum," Ustadz Jaki interrupted the words of Ustadzah's mother Farida who never stopped and walked to his wife.

"Well we go home, dear" said Ustadz Jaki, crouching in front of Shinta with her sweet, fluffy smile.

Shinta nodded and smiled to return her husband's smile. And he wanted to show them, Dr. Randi, Ustadzah Farida and his mother that they were very harmonious and in love with each other.

"Can your hands get out of my wife's wheelchair?" Ustadz Jaki spoke emphatically with more emphasis on the word wife when speaking.

Doctor Randi's hand slipped out of the wheelchair occupied by Shinta and smiled as if underestimating Ustadz Jaki.

Without wasting much time, Ustadz Jaki immediately left the place by turning to find another way so as not to cross paths with Ustadzah Farida and his mother.

"Kok through here anyway? Furthermore, dear if you want to go to the parking lot," Shinta voiced to reduce their awkwardness because of the obvious anger implied on her husband's face.

"Let's not see them" replied Ustadz Jaki just as necessary.

"They? Who?" shinta asked in curiosity.

"Ustadzah Farida and his mother" again Ustadz Jaki replied only as necessary.

There were no jokes, pranks and temptations from Ustadz Jaki to his wife. Shinta felt a little uncomfortable and she felt longing for the figure of her husband who always managed to make her shy, laugh and gawk unexpectedly with her husband's behavior and silliness.

Just now in the room Shinta was very happy and comforted with her husband's behavior but now after a few minutes they went downstairs, Shinta had missed her husband's usual behavior again, but now she feels neglected so much that her sadness about her miscarriage comes back to her and blames her. She didn't want her husband to be quiet and indifferent to her like this.

The atmosphere in the car was too quiet for the two of them. Never like this before, Shinta felt strange because Ustadz Jaki usually never stopped flirting or talking to her while in the car even though she was driving.

"It seems like her mother Ustadzah Farida is very close to you," Shinta tried to open a conversation with her husband.

Ustadz Jaki turned to look at his wife for a while, then he looked ahead again and concentrated on the street.

"You jealous?" Ustadz Jaki asked his wife.

"Yes. With Mama Papaku you're not that close," Shinta began to be provoked by the circumstances.

Ustadz Jaki knows that now Shinta is being ignited by emotions, so he must be more calm so that there is no quarrel in their household.

"I don't like to see Ustadzah Farida and her mother close to you. Moreover, it is clear that Ustadzah Farida still holds hope for you. And it was obvious from the look in her eyes when she saw you and her shy smile when talking to you" Shinta expressed her frustration at her husband.

"But I'm not like that Shin. I keep my loyalty to my wife and I only love my wife" Ustadz Jaki tries to convince her to trust him.

"So I don't like to see it. And...," Shinta hesitated to continue her words.

"And what?" tanya Ustadz Jaki was confused by Shinta's unfinished remarks.

"And you don't have any aspirations for polygamy, do you?" Shinta asks him a question that bothers her after Randi's doctor provokes her.

"Astaghfirullahaladzim, never darling, I never had any thoughts of polygamy,. You don't think weird like that, I don't like it. And remember that it's like a prayer, so don't talk like that again if you don't want it to happen" said Ustadz Jaki, who actually endured his frustration at hearing from his wife.

"Yes, Ustadz Fariz was...," Shinta did not continue because she forgot that what she was going to say was taboo in their family for fear of making Rhea sad.

"You know if Ustadz Fariz didn't really want to marry Mirna? He only carried out the will of his father Mirna, and the proof of their marriage did not go well. You know the next story, right? So stop talking about polygamy, because actually I and Ustadz Fariz just want to marry one woman we love. And we've got our love, then what else are we looking for with us remarrying?" Ustadz Jaki spoke a little annoyed at Shinta and it was felt by Shinta, but Shinta was aware that it was due to her mistake in speaking.

"What about Dr. Randi? It seems like he always comes close to you. Don't you think he put his heart on you?" Ustadz Jaki asked him what he wanted to ask earlier in the hospital because he felt the timing was right.

"I don't know and I don't want to know about him. I would have stayed away if my husband had told me to stay away from him. But I also want to ask for the same thing, I want you to stay away from Farida Ustadzah, whatever the reason," Shinta closed the conversation because she did not want to continue their conversation which would only refer to quarrels.

Shinta closed her eyes to no longer be asked or spoken to by her husband. Ustadz Jaki caught a glimpse of his wife who did not speak, and he smiled when he saw his wife had closed her eyes to avoid their chatter.

Arriving at Al-Mukmin Pesantren Cottage, Ustadz Jaki accidentally does not wake Shinta even though she is only pretending to close her eyes. Ustadz Jaki imitates Ustadz Fariz holding his wife to their room.

Shinta screamed with excitement in her heart just because she was being carried by her husband from the car to the room. It feels sweet treatment from her husband wants her to always repeat so that she can feel the sincerity of love from her husband.

In the evening, when they finished dinner together, Shinta was required to rest in the room. Ustadz Jaki brought Shinta into their room, but after a few minutes their door was knocked by someone.

Ustadz Jaki opened the door of his room and saw Mbak Atik who was in front of their room door.

"What's wrong, Mommy?" Ustadz Jaki asked Mbak Atik who was a little riled up.

"Anu Ustadz.. that's.. anu.. apa...," replied Mbak Atik nervously and hesitantly.

"What is it, Mama?" asked Ustadz Jaki who was confused by what Mbak Atik was talking about.

"It was Ustadz, under there was Ustadzah Farida and his mother wanted to meet with Ustadz Jaki" Atik said with a little fear.

"Do you want what they are?" asked Ustadz Jaki who was completely unwilling to meet them.

"Don't know Ustadz, he said it was very important" replied Mbak Atik.

What the hell is this? Is it true what my husband said about the words that meant prayer? Oh Allah, I do not want to be polygamous, Shinta said in her heart by pretending to be asleep.
