First Love of Ustadz

Chapter 173 Lost

The next day, Ani's body was buried in the village cemetery around Pondok Pesantren Al-Mukmin.

Previously Ustadz Jaki had taken care of it for licensing to the surrounding residents and village devices, and paid for the tomb land to be used by Ani's tomb later.

Hana was always in Mirna's room last night. Anita and Mirna do not let Hana be with her Father in the hospital hallway because they are afraid that Hana will come back crying and sad to remember her mother who just left her for good.

Now, they all drive Ani one last time to the funeral. It just so happens that Mirna has been allowed to go home this morning, so Mirna and Anita can accompany Hana who had been crying for her mother's departure.

Mirna's heart was so glad to see Hana crying when her mother was about to be buried. She remembered herself that her mother had left behind, just like Hana's sister who was born to her mother at the cost of her life.

Hana was carried by Anita when Hana shouted hysterically and thrashed to get closer to her mother's corpse which was put into a well-prepared burrow.

Mirna is unable to hold Hana because Mirna is out of surgery, but she is able to hug Hana to calm her down when she is no longer in Anita's arms.

Ustadz Fariz, Ustadz Jaki, Rhea and Shinta attended the funeral. Umi Sarifah is at home with Izam and Salsa.

Rhea and Shinta felt concerned and pity for Hana. But they can not help more than that, because they are afraid that Pandu will think differently and will not want to let go of his past with Rhea.

"Luckily there is Anita and Bu Mirna who are always there for Hana, so that the child still has a backrest when the Father is also down to think about their fate after this," Shinta said to Rhea when they saw Hana who was crying along with Anita and Mirna.

"Yes Shin, thank God they want to accompany Hana who is in need of a woman who can calm her like her own mother. Uh but, how did they get that close to Shin?" Rhea asked Shinta.

"Of course, it's possible that they met in the hospital and got closer until now" replied Shinta who did not know their closeness.

"At the hospital? Why did they meet at Shin's hospital?" Rhea was astonished by Shinta's reply.

"Astaghfirullahaladzim..I forgot to tell you that Ms. Mirna had the same surgery the other day, but the illness was not as severe as that time," replied Shinta who explained Mirna's current illness.

"Astaghfirullahaladzim., may Ma'am Mirna be healed and Mba Mirna's disease be lifted by Allah. Amin..," Rhea prayed for Mirna's recovery.

"Amin..," Shinta said later.

Rhea and Shinta were not with Ustadz Fariz and Ustadz Jaki in front of the tomb, they were both in the rear row.

Ustadz Fariz and Ustadz Jaki had the same thoughts as Rhea and Shinta, so they agreed to help them only to that extent. If Pandu and his children ask for other help and do not disturb the families of Ustadz Fariz and Rhea, they can help him.

After the funeral was over, Ustadz Fariz along with Rhea and Ustadz Jaki along with Shinta expressed their condolences on Pandu who was with Hana, Mr. Ratmo, Mirna and Anita.

And Rhea's speech that made Pandu dumbfounded at that time was,

"What you lose means that it is not made for you, and what is made for you, will not be lost from you."

The sentence was ringing in Pandu's ears as if reminding him when he would remember about Rhea and her past.

The desire to have the woman back is still in Pandu's heart. But for now he felt inferior and ashamed of Rhea. In the future he will try to bring the shame he now feels into a sense of pride when he meets Rhea at the next opportunity.

Mirna is too. She looked at her ex-husband with a strange feeling. Especially when he saw his ex-husband joining hands with his wife.

Envy is certainly there, especially Mirna has not mengikhlaskan their divorce. But what was said by Rhea who incidentally is the wife of her ex-husband to Pandu who is also Rhea's ex-husband, Mirna felt insinuated when she heard it.

Mirna felt Rhea say that to her. Because Mirna does not know if Pandu is the ex-husband of Rhea. Similarly Pandu who does not know if Mirna is the ex-wife of Rhea's husband.

"Where will you live after this?" Mr. Ratmo asked Pandu who was staring at Rhea's departure along with Ustadz Fariz and walked along with Shinta along with Ustadz Jaki.

"Still not knowing, sir. Is there a Temat stay here at a cheap price? Because I still do not get a job, and I am still confused sir, how will my baby child when I stay at work," Pandu replied sluggishly.

"Don't worry sir, let Hana and her sister we both take care of her when you work," Anita echoed the conversation of Mr. Ratmo and Pandu.

"Well, isn't it Mirna?" Anita seeks support for Mirna.

"Huh?! How come I'm Nit?" Mirna asked reflexively when her name was called by Anita to babysit Hana and her sister.

"You know who else Ma'am, Hana's father has no brothers here" Anita replied later.

"Sorry, my name is Pandu. Just call my name so it's not too formal," Pandu told Mirna and Anita.

"Alright Mr. Pandu now you just look for a place to live near here to make it easier when you leave Hana and her sister later if you are not at home," Anita again gave her advice to Pandu.

"But, don't you mind? They are still small, will definitely trouble you later," Pandu feels bad for them.

"Hana's a good boy sir, I don't think he'll trouble us. Isn't that Miss Mirna?" Anita answers Pandu's question and asks Mirna for support from Mirna.

Mirna just smiled, then she whispered in Anita's ear,

"Kok so I'm Nit again? You play mutusin yourself Nit. Just be careful if you get overwhelmed and keep asking for my help."

Anita just smiled, in her heart she understood that Mirna could not refuse him to help her.

"Then, can you help me find a cheap place to live, sir?" Pandu asked Mr. Ratmo.

"There was actually a small house behind our house that was once occupied by my wife's younger brother. But it has not been occupied for a long time and you have made a place to store goods. It is almost like a warehouse. If you want to just stay there and clean it up so it's worth it. But if you want to live somewhere else, I'll help you find it. There may be a place to live like you want" replied Mr. Minto.

Do you even live behind our house? You can't even sleep if there's a baby. Haduu... Anita's same uncle why don't you all open an orphanage anyway? Mirna grumbled in her heart.

It turns out that the same father his son is equally good. Mr. Ratmo and Anita, they are almost the same as Mr. Minto and Ani, Pandu said in his heart and smiled at Mr. Ratmo after thanking him.
