First Love of Ustadz

Chapter 204 Some messages from Umi

Kiki recalled her dream at a time when she was unconscious.

"The dream was the same as what Umi told me," said Rhea when suddenly remembered her dream that made her wake up from her sleep after giving birth to her daughter, his second son was with Ustadz Fariz.

"What's up, baby? What dreams?"

Ustadz Fariz asked worriedly at his wife.

At the moment Ustadz Fariz is very worried about Rhea since the incident fainted when he saw Hana apologizing to him.

"Bi, at the time when Mommy was thinking of accepting Abi's proposal, Umi once told me her dream. And Umi's dream was almost the same as my dream just now, this dream that made me wake up earlier."

Rhea said it with a laugh back about her dream earlier.

"the dream? What dreams, dear?" tanya Ustadz Fariz.

Rhea let out a heavy sigh, after a few seconds then she started talking.

"So Mother had a dream just like Umi's dream was told to me. Umi holds a baby and we are both very happy to see a happy Umi holding her granddaughter. But soon Umi returns the baby to us, and she tells us to educate Izam to be a godly child. Umi says that if she loves Izam and Izam enough to prove her affection for Umi by protecting her. Then Umi said goodbye, he said he would meet with Abah. What does all this mean Bi? Is this just a normal dream so I can wake up from my sleep?"

Long-long-widded Rhea told me everything. His mind was in a mess thinking about many things.

Ustadz Fariz smiled bitterly at the face of his wife. He could not bear to tell what happened to Umi Sarifah today.

Is this how Umi says goodbye to Rhea? Umi left us by allowing new family members into our family. Why did Umi not want to wait until Izam's sister was born to be able to see him and hold him Umi? Even I haven't met and apologized for the last time to Umi.

Ustadz Fariz said in his heart by looking at his wife's face, unknowingly his tears trickled when he remembered Umi Sarifah, the figure of the mother whom he greatly admired.

"Why cry?"

Rhea said as she wiped the tears of Ustadz Fariz dripping down her cheek.

Ustadz Fariz simply shook his head and developed his smile forcefully so that his wife would not worry about him.

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

The greeting given by Shinta made Ustadz Fariz and Rhea turn towards the door. And Shinta who was holding a baby walked towards him.

"Wa'alaikumussalam..," answered Ustadz Fariz and Rhea together.

"This is your two daughters. Look, it's pretty, isn't it? Similar to the Mother," said Shinta when giving the tiny baby to Rhea.

Rhea received the tiny baby into her cradle. Ustadz Fariz, who was nearby, smiled happily at the tiny newborn baby, which was able to make his sadness diverted.

"Why does Salsa sleep here?" shinta asked Rhea in a soft voice.

Salsa was sleeping next to Rhea while hugging Rhea.

"So she cried hysterically again when I asked about Izam and Umi, after which she fell asleep at the time I hugged her. Maybe she's tired of crying" Rhea replied while trying to give breast milk to her baby.

"Let me just take her to my room."

Shinta held Salsa whose face was filled with traces of tears.

"Shin, is the drink I gave you finished? You just give the drink until it runs out so that Salsa can be calmer" said Ustadz Fariz before Shinta walked out of the room.

"It looks like Ustadz is up" Shinta replied with a thought.

"Yes let me make it again later, yes" Ustadz Fariz's speech was taken by Shinta.

"Assalamu'alaikum" Shinta said as she left the room.

"Wa'alaikumussalam..," answered Ustadz Fariz and Rhea together.

Rhea told Ustadz Fariz by showing her the birthmark after giving breast milk to her baby.

"Yes, baby, I don't think that our daughter has a birthmark that can be her trademark."

Ustadz Fariz smiled as he saw the tiny baby in his arms fall asleep.

"mmm... Bi, how are Umi and Izam doing?"

Now Rhea asked Ustadz Fariz, looking her husband in the eye, seriously. Honestly, Rhea was very curious about their situation because she thought Shinta and her husband had been procrastinating if they would answer Rhea's question about the state of Umi Sarifah and Izam.

"Here, let Abi put Abi's daughter to bed in her baby box."

Ustadz Fariz said as he asked the little baby from Rhea's sling.

It was very hard for Ustadz Fariz to tell Rhea about the death of Umi Sarifah. But it is not appropriate that they keep it a secret from Rhea.

It is true if they fear the condition of Rhea if they tell him about the death of Umi Sarifah. And they also feel wrong if Rhea knows about it from others.

"Honey, Izam's still asleep. We pray and we help him so that he can come back with us" Ustadz Fariz said, holding Rhea's hands together and staring at her intensely.

"Then Umi? Is Umi still not going to wake up?" asked Rhea with high curiosity considering Umi Sarifah who said goodbye to her through her dreams.

"Permy... Umi has gone home. He left us" Ustadz Fariz's voice faltered with his tears so that he could strengthen Rhea later.

Rhea was shocked and silent, but her tears were dripping without her crying voice. Now Rhea was again shocked to hear the news of the death of Umi Sarifah. In silence he remembered every word Umi Sarifah said to him.

Ustadz Fariz took her in his arms and calmed her down even though her own heart was deeply saddened to lose the mother figure that meant the most to her life.

"Honey..," Ustadz Fariz called Rhea who was still in his arms, but Rhea did not reply at all.

Ustadz Fariz was afraid that Rhea would be sad again in silence and faint like that. Even in his arms Ustadz Fariz did not feel Rhea's body trembling in tears. He called his wife back to realize when he was daydreaming.

"Darling... Mother Izam..."

There was no answer from Rhea, so Ustadz Fariz let go of his embrace to see his wife.

Sure enough, now Rhea remained silent and with the blur of her tears she simply blinked her eyes without reacting to anything.

"Darling, you have to be strong. We can be sad, but not too long. We are all sad because we lost Umi so much. But we have to keep doing what Umi wants. And also, remember that there is now our daughter who needs you most besides Izam. So, I beg you not to be like this."

Ustadz Fariz cried in front of Rhea. He begged his wife to get back to how she was. Then he kissed his wife's eyes in the hope that her tears would stop, but his own tears are still dripping because of his sadness at the current state of his wife and the fact that Umi Sarifah has returned to the power.

"Darling. We need to help Izam get him to work even harder to get back with us."

Like a mantra, hearing the name Izam called by Ustadz Fariz, Rhea regained consciousness.

"Pure... Izam my son..," said Rhea who re-awakened from the daydream of sadness.

Immediately Ustadz Fariz hugged Rhea with her tears still coming out of her eyes.

"Let's not cry. Forgive Mother. Mommy wants to see Umi and Izam, is it okay?" rhea said as she wiped her husband's tears.

Ustadz Fariz nodded in response to his wife's question.

Birth is always pleasing to those around it and death is always sad for those closest to it.

Birth and death are always side by side. They always come and go according to the destiny that has been written.
