First Love of Ustadz

Chapter 203 Life and Death

"Pure...."

"Permy.... Umi is beautiful, Umi is shining. Where are you going to wear white clothes like that?"

Izam who was playing in a beautiful park next to the river with a waterfall there made him run towards Umi Sarifah when he called him.

"Izam," Umi Sarifah paused her speech while looking at Izam with a soothing smile and rubbing Izam's hair gently and affectionately.

Izam looked at Umi Sarifah with his trademark smile. Then he said,

"What's Umi?"

"Izam, Umi's most beloved grandson, Umi wants to tell Izam to obey God's command and never violate it. Follow what Abi and Mommy have said. Be a godly child and take care of Salsa and your newborn sister. Umi left them all to you."

Umi Sarifah said it all to Izam with a gentle and gentle smile so as to make Izam feel calm and nodded approving of Umi Sarifah's wishes.

After that Umi Sarifah stood up and took a step back from Izam.

"Where are you going?" Izam asked in a loud voice to Umi Sarifah.

Umi Sarifah smiled and said,

"Umi's going. Izam must not forget Izam's promise to Umi yes. Umi will definitely be sad if Izam does not keep Izam's promise."

"Izam promise Umi. But Umi don't go, Izam-"

Suddenly Umi Sarifah disappeared with the white light before Izam finished his speech.

"Eye!"

Izam shouted to call Umi Sarifah who had disappeared from before him. Now he was alone in that beautiful place crying looking around him.

"This place is beautiful, but why am I alone in this place? Where are Abi, Mommy, Abi Jaki, Manda and Salsa?"

"Why would Umi leave me alone?"

"Same.....!"

Izam was sobbing in that beautiful place all by himself. Now he is just a lost little boy and must find a way out of the place to meet his family.

...----------------...

"Look dear, Umi is very happy holding Izam," Ustadz Fariz told Rhea who was beside him.

"It looks like Izam will be Umi ya Bi's favorite grandson," Rhea responded to Fariz's Ustadz speech.

"Looks like. Just look, Izam will help Umi every time he needs his help" said Ustadz Fariz back.

The two of them smiled looking at the extremely happy Umi Sarifah holding Izam. But not long after that, Umi Sarifah gave Izam to Ustadz Fariz.

"Umi titip Izam yes. Guide him well to be a godly child" said Umi Sarifah after giving Izam to them.

"Umi can also help us educate him. Surely Izam too bad to have a grandmother like Umi," said Rhea later.

Umi just smiled and shook her head. Then he said,

"Izam loved Umi very much. He has shown his service to Umi by saving Umi. Let Izam continue his life, and let Umi go to meet Abah."

"Eye!"

"Eye!"

Ustadz Fariz and Rhea simultaneously exclaimed in the words of Umi Sarifah.

But Umi Sarifah is now slowly disappearing from before them. Umi Sarifah's body is like a light that fades and disappears afterwards.

"Eye!"

Rhea called out to Umi Sarifah as she opened her eyes. Rhea's breath was dull with cold sweat dripping down her temple.

"Rhea are you aware? What was? It looks like you are dreaming" Shinta said as she gave her a drink.

Rhea just kept quiet and remembered what she saw earlier in her dream.

"Mother, Mother why?"

"Pure.... Umi..," said Rhea by revealing her blanket wanted to get out of bed.

"Here you go. I'll call your husband."

Shinta prevents Rhea from getting out of her bed. And he rushed out to call Ustadz Fariz because it was better for Ustadz Fariz to explain the state of Umi Sarifah to Rhea.

Salsa did not know about the death of Umi Sarifah. Only Ustadz Fariz, Ustadz Jaki and Shinta were covered in grief at this time, but they held their expressions of sadness in front of Salsa and Rhea.

It was not their intention to hide it, it was just that they would say it at the right time and of course before Umi Sarifah was buried.

"My boy?!"

Rhea exclaimed at her flat stomach as she was about to wrap herself up after the blanket she had left.

Shinta's footsteps stopped, she who was now about to reach the door handle turned back her body and walked back closer to Rhea.

"You're great Rhea. You have given birth to a beautiful daughter" said Shinta, smiling to hide the sadness in her heart.

"Is my daughter a girl?" ask Rhea back.

"Yes, she is very beautiful, just like her mother," Shinta replied.

"I want to see Shin," Rhea said with sparkling eyes.

"All right I'll get you, and I'll get Ustadz Fariz to come here" Shinta said, then walked back to the door.

"Are they not aware of Shin yet?" Rhea asked back to Shinta.

Rhea's question again stopped Shinta's steps and made Shinta turn her body back to face Rhea.

Shinta smiled and said,

"I'll call your husband first. And I'll get you your daughter."

Rhea just kept quiet, she saw something strange with Shinta at this time.

What the hell is it? Why isn't Shinta the usual? Rhea wondered in her heart.

Then Rhea looked towards Salsa who was cool to see her favorite cartoon movie on Shinta's phone brought by Salsa at this time.

Suddenly, Rhea's tears came back. He remembered Izam who usually watched the cartoon together with Salsa.

"Salsa," Rhea called out to Salsa who was sitting on her side chair.

Salsa turned her attention away from her phone at Rhea.

"Mother, mother crying?" salsa asked as she approached and wiped Rhea's tears.

"Izam, is Izam conscious?" rhea asked Salsa with a choked voice holding back her cries.

"Pure... Izam... Umf...."

Now Salsa was crying because she remembered Izam and Umi Sarifah. Salsa had a little forgotten when distracted by other things because Ustadz Fariz gave him to drink water that had been given prayers by him.

The goal is not to forget it, but just to calm Salsa's heart.

And now he again remembered Umi Sarifah and Izam. Even he was hysterical considering the accident that befell Izam and Umi Sarifah.

Rhea felt guilty for reminding Salsa that she might have been traumatized in her life due to her young age.

"Salsa, here," Rhea called out to Salsa and waved her hand for Salsa to come closer to her.

With a sobbing of her cries Salsa came closer to Rhea.

"I'm sorry, Mother, baby. We pray that Umi and Izam will be fine" Rhea said, hugging Salsa who was still crying.

"Assalamu'alaikum's chat...."

There was a sound of greeting from the direction of the door that was now opened by the person.

"Wa'alaikumussalam's chat... Abi..," said Rhea with a trembling voice and teary eyes.
