First Love of Ustadz

Chapter 19 Slander vs Salihah wife

Ustad Fariz returned to Umi Sarifah's house when she was at the cottage, because of her unsettled feeling of seeing Ustad Jaki who was close to Rhea.

"Zahra, can we talk?" ask Ustad Fariz to Rhea.

Rhea was shocked to hear the sudden voice of Ustad Fariz already in front of her. Rhea was engrossed in her laptop.

"What's up, Ustad?" tanya Rhea was confused because just a few years ago Ustad Fariz and Ustad Jaki say goodbye back to Pondok Pesantren.

"Bismilbornrahmanirrahim... Zahra, what are you." Ustad Fariz gerogi, the words he would say could not come out of his mouth.

"I why Ustad?" tanya Rhea was more confused by the strange attitude of Ustad Fariz according to her.

"Emm that's.. what is it..," now Ustad Fariz is speechless.

Astaghfirullahaladzim..why am I so hard to say? Ustad Fariz could only build smoothly.

"Ustad why? It hurt?" ask Rhea to panic.

Ustad Fariz shook his head, his mouth open but no words came out. Rhea was confused, she took a drink for Ustad Fariz.

"Who's Nduk for?" ask Umi Sarifah.

"Ustad Fariz Umi, he said he wanted to say, but only the mangap-mangap doang from earlier," replied Rhea while carrying two glasses of orange juice.

Rhea gave Ustad Fariz one glass of orange juice and one more glass for her.

"This is Ustad, drink first" said Rhea while giving the glass.

Ustad Fariz accepted it and nodded, then he drank it.

"What's Le doing here?" asked Umi Sarifah who came out from the inside.

Ustad Fariz just scratched his head which felt like it was suddenly itching. He was confused what to say if there was a Umi among them. It seems that he has failed now. He had to find another good time to tell Rhea.

"Emm.. later Umi, was willing to talk to Rhea, but suddenly forgot. Hehehe..," Ustad Fariz covered his nervousness.

Umi just shook her head while smiling. Umi found Ustad Fariz's behavior very funny. Never had Umi seen him like this.

Rhea stared in surprise with Ustad Fariz who was like a confused person. While Ustad Fariz directly back to the cottage because there are hours of teaching.

In the hours before the adhan dehur reverberated in the Masjid Pondok Pesantren Al-Mukmin, Mirna was already in her husband's office.

The new Ustad Fariz from teaching was surprised to find Mirna sitting at Ustad Fariz's desk reading the books Rhea gave to Ustad Fariz the other day.

"Myrna? What are you doing here?" asked Ustad Fariz in shock.

"Goodbye Mas, I was scolded if I did not say hello," said Mirna with a sigh.

"Astaghfirullahaladzim. because of the shock of seeing you until I forget to say hello. Assalamu'alaikum" said Ustad Fariz as he moved closer to Mirna.

"Wa'alaikumussalam," answered Mirna briefly.

Ustad Fariz took the book in Mirna's hands. Making Mirna to be more upset because it found the book discussed by Rhea on his show placed Ustad Fariz specifically in his drawer, in contrast to other books he placed on the bookshelf.

"Why did you come in here without my permission?" tanya Ustad Fariz held back her emotions.

"Can't you? I'm your wife, Mas, since when can I not come in here?" mirna said annoyed with the high note.

"It's not Mirna, it's my place of work, you should have my permission before entering here" Ustad Fariz said in a soft but stressed tone.

"Why should?" ask Mirna annoyed.

"Astaghfirullahaladzim Mirna...is not it our courtesy to enter someone else's room?" Ustad Fariz took a deep breath in front of his stubborn wife.

"Ck, tell me there's a lot of secrets here, but I can't get in here. And that book, why should it be separated from the rest? Why not put it on a shelf?" ask Mirna to investigate.

"Yesterday was read out forgetting to be returned to the shelf," replied Ustad Fariz lazily.

"Isn't that the book the woman was talking about on her show at the time? Was the book given to that woman?" tell Mirna a lot of questions about Ustad Fariz.

"Udah, I'm lazy to answer all your questions" Ustad Fariz went out of his room.

"Mas... Where are you going? I'm coming, '" Mirna's running after Ustad Fariz.

Ustad Fariz was really upset to face the attitude of Mirna who had never changed. The good morning mood because the breakfast served by Rhea changed for the worse with Mirna's attitude that felt the most right.

Mirna was following Ustad Fariz who was apparently attending a meeting with the Ustad and Ustadzah in the meeting room. Mirna casually sat between them until the event was over.

"Tumben Bu Mirna participate in Kyai activities in Pondok?" tanya Bu Yati one of the Ustadzah in Pondok Pesantren Al-Hikmah after the meeting was over.

"Yes Ustadzah, fear of being raped by actors. Today, actors love recklessness," Mirna replied full of insinuations and glanced at Ustad Fariz.

Ustad Fariz was furious with his wife's sharp mouth that could not put her and his words. Ustad Fariz walked out of the room with a face full of annoyance.

The Ustad and Ustadzah just looked at each other looking at their Kyai and his wife seemed to be facing a problem.

Mirna soon got up from her seat following the departure of her husband. She is determined to always be near her husband so that there is no gap to meet with Rhea who is now getting closer to her husband because Rhea was staying at Umi Sarifah's house.

"Mas..," Mirna grabbed her husband's hand to hold.

"Mir, until when are you going to do something like this? I'm tired of Mir having to serve you as if you were a gini," Ustad Fariz grunted in annoyance.

"Astaghfirullahaladhim... Mirna, when the hell did I ever forget I had a wife?" ustad Fariz asked, getting upset.

"The truth is you can meet again without me knowing," replied Mirna no less upset than Ustad Fariz.

"It was unintentionally Mir. Maybe it's our destiny to meet again" replied Ustad Fariz who had returned rather calm.

"It is the most he pretends to look like fate that brings you together" Mirna replied in a poetic tone.

"As far as you are Mirna. I've had enough of this whole day to hear your babbling," Ustad Faris threw Mirna's hand and walked briskly and half to her office.

Mirna smiled slanting triumphantly. Now the Ustad and Ustadzah have heard Mirna's anxiety about the actor. And soon Rhea will definitely be blamed and labeled as an actor by all residents of Pondok Pesantren Al-Hikmah.

At Umi Sarifah's house it appears that Rhea was learning to read the book with Umi Sarifah. Umi Saridah was happy because teaching Rhea was not as difficult as she had expected. It is true that if people say Rhea is a smart and intelligent woman, the proof is that Umi only teaches her a little and with her will to learn, Rhea can already easily read it.

Umi smiles satisfied to hear Rhea reading correctly one of the books taught by Umi Sarifah. Then they both went to the lake to listen to Umi Sarifah who told her about the stories of the Prophets and her companions.

Of course Rhea was very happy to listen to Umi Sarifah tell her story. With the calm atmosphere of the lake and the story of the Prophets and their companions so interesting that time did not seem to pass for them both.

Ustad Jaki accidentally passed through the lake to see Umi Sarifah and Rhea sitting by the lake. Then he approached them.

"I think again exclaimed, "" the voice of Ustad Jaki made Umi Sarifah and Rhea look back.

"Ah you are making a surprise," said Umi Sarifah.

"Rhea and Umi are here?" tanya Ustad Jaki who was sitting next to Umi Sarifah.

"The woman, you don't need to know," replied Umi Sarifah who made Rhea laugh.

"Umi, it's time to want ashar, we just go back home," Rhea asked Umi Sarifah.

"Loh... Kok Jaki left behind?" said Ustad Jaki while standing when Umi Sarifah had walked a few steps.

On the way home, Umi Sarifah and Rhea met with the Ustadzahs and they greeted Umi Sarifah.

"Assalamu'alaikum Umi mbak Rhea, where are you going? tanya Ustadzah Ami represents another Ustadzah.

"From the same lake Rhea. You guys going to the office?" ask Umi at Ustadzah-Ustadzah who is in front of him.

"Yes Umi, you see Rhea there is a schedule of events today? how is this clock here?" ask Ustadzah Dina to Rhea.

"Not Ustadzah, Rhea stayed here from yesterday to study with Umi more deeply about the religion of Islam," replied Rhea with a smile as usual.

"Oooh maybe this is what Bu Mirna meant earlier in the meeting room," Ceplos Ustadzah Santi who really likes ceplas-ceplos.

"What do you mean?" tanya Ustad Jaki who just came after Umi Sarifah.

"So at the time in the meeting room Bu Mirna came from the beginning to the end of Ustad, and when asked Ustadzah Yati the reason, she said Bu Mirna was afraid her husband was digondol pelakor Ustad, the actor now likes reckless he said," replied Ustadzah Santi honestly because he put his heart on Ustad Jaki.

Ustadzah Ami immediately pulled Ustadzah Santi's hand away so as not to speak more.

"We go first Umi, Assalamu'alaikum," said Ustadzah Ami as he pulled Ustadzah Santi's hand away from Umi Sarifah, Rhea and Ustad Jaki.

And the other Ustadzah-Ustadzah also went after Ustadzah Ami.

"Ck, look for him" said Ustad Jaki annoyed.

"You don't know Le?" ask Umi Sarifah to Ustad Jaki.

"Jaki was still there Umi class, could not be left, so did not join the meeting," said Ustad Jaki full of regret.

"Propay ya Nduk," Umi Sarifah stroked Rhea's shoulder to strengthen it.

Rhea could only forcefully smile at Umi Sarifah's words to her.

At dinner, Mirna came before Ustad Jaki and Ustad Fariz returned from the Masjid Pondok. Mirna was already sitting at the dining table that had been composed of all the dishes which of course were cooked by Rhea.

Umi shook her head to see Mirna's behavior that was not comparable even compared to Rhea. Maybe that's why for years her husband couldn't move on from his first love. Ustad Fariz could have moved on if his wife had been better than his first love.

Ustad Jaki's face turned irritated when she saw Mirna at the dinner table. Mirna served Ustad Fariz like a wife of Salihah, from taking rice and side dishes into her plate and drinks. Ustad Jaki looked at Mirna cynically and disliked her pretense. Umi Sarifah gave a side dish on Rhea's plate and Rhea did the same to Umi Sarifah.

"Pinter took people's hearts, really" Mirna told Rhea, but ignored by Rhea.

"Do not pretend to be a wife of Salihah deh Mbak, usually also you have never served your husband like now. You're even engrossed in eating alone" Ustad Jaki sneered as she fed the food in her mouth.

"What do you mean?" asked Mirna cynically and faced Ustad Jaki.

"Here you go, it's not good to fight in front of food" Umi Sarifah told Mirna and Ustad Jaki.

"There is no one to believe me" said Mirna in a high tone.

Umi Sarifah stroked his chest while preaching.

"Mirna, you're getting brazen, I'm so disappointed in you" an annoyed grunt rang out from Ustad Fariz's mouth.

"Why? Because you want to marry this woman?" mirna asked her emotions and had lost control.

"Indeed I will marry her, according to your wishes," replied Ustad Fariz in a firm voice.
