First Love of Ustadz

Chapter 205 Deep sorrow

"Pure... Mother and Abi are here. Izam wake up.... Mommy and Abi want to play with Izam. The Mother... Mother and Abi. kangen the same Izam."

Rhea's voice choked, powerless to resist the sadness of seeing her first child lying weak without reacting.

"Izam must try to wake up, Abi wants to hold Izam again."

Ustadz Fariz could not say much, nor did he have the heart to see his little hero as weak as ever.

The verses of the Qur'an were recited by Ustadz Fariz near Izam's ear. He hoped that Izam could hear him and was able to move his heart back to consciousness.

Ustadz Jaki still takes care of Umi Sarifah's body. He had not visited Izam at all. Sadness was certainly felt and his mind was divided between Izam and Umi Sarifah who were now in a different place, unlike before who were in the same room.

Unbeknownst to Rhea and Ustadz Fariz, Izam's fingers moved slightly when he heard the voice of Mother and Abi.

The recitation of the Qur'an verses recited by Ustadz Fariz shook Izam's heart.

The Mother.... Abi... help Izam out of this place. This place is beautiful, but Izam is lonely. Izam scared.... Umi left Izam alone here.

Izam screamed and cried at the sound of Rhea and Ustadz Fariz talking to him. At that place, Izam was eager to find a way out, yet he found no way out of that place.

Izam was not discouraged. Like the teachings of Abi and her Mother, she must be able to deal with her own problems before asking others for help.

Recalling the message from Abi and her mother, Izam ran around looking for a way to get out of the beautiful place and return with his family.

After a while, Shinta went into the ICU room and informed him that Umi Sarifah's body was ready for burial.

"Dear priest, Mother and Abi stay out for a while. Later Mommy and Abi come here again. Izam must have woken up if Mother and Abi came here huh."

Rhea said goodbye to Izam by holding back her crying that had longed to come out of her eyes.

"Izam, little whiz Abi. Izam is now a big brother. Izam's sister was born. Izam must quickly wake up in order to play with Izam's sister ya"

After saying that, Ustadz Fariz and Rhea kissed Izam's cheeks in turn. Before leaving the room, Ustadz Fariz whispered something in Izam's ear.

"Shin, where's my daughter?" asked Rhea in a weak voice because she heard about Umi Sarifah's body.

"There was with his grandparents" Shinta replied as she opened the door for Ustadz Fariz pushing a wheelchair occupied by Rhea.

"Grandfather and grandmother? You mean my mom and dad?" rhea asked Shinta who was walking next to her.

"Yes, they just came when I want to put your baby in the nursery" replied Shinta.

"Couldn't you? Abi who told you?"

Rhea raised her head to look at her husband's face.

"Yes, but I'm sorry Abi called them late" replied Ustadz Fariz, who lowered his head to look at his wife's face.

"Gapapa Bi, thank you Abi for contacting them. Even Mother just doesn't remember to contact them."

Rhea smiled faintly at her husband while holding the hand of her husband who was on the push of her wheelchair.

Now Rhea was in the morgue to meet with Umi Sarifah one last time.

This time, her tears could not be held back. Escape the tears were coming down his cheeks.

"Permy... Umi..," Rhea's voice slashed across the hearts of those who heard her calling Umi Sarifah.

"Umi. forgive all Rhea's mistakes. Sorry if Rhea-"

Rhea's voice could not come out anymore. Only the sound of crying that he could no longer hold back could be heard there.

Ustadz Fariz hugged his wife's body so that she was calmer when in his arms.

"Permy... Fariz hurt Umi a lot. Forgive Fariz Umi. Fariz promised to do Fariz's duty according to what Umi expected."

Ustadz Fariz could not continue what he wanted to say before Ustadz Fariz for the last time.

The sound of Rhea's roar made Ustadz Fariz sadder. Moreover, he recalled Izam who was still unconscious after getting the surgery.

All of this happened very quickly. The accident that befell Umi Sarifah and Izam, the birth of her second child, as well as the death of Umi Sarifah.

All of that is able to tear apart their feelings and overturn their lives.

Their encouragement has now left them. Umi Sarifah, the best mother figure for them besides their own mother, is now no longer with them.

"Is everything ready for Ustadz?"

Ustadz Fariz asked Ustadz Jaki who was waiting in the waiting room near the mortuary.

"For the cemetery in the cottage has been prepared by the Ustadz and Ustadzah. We just have to take Umi home," replied Ustadz Jaki who suddenly had tears coming when he mentioned that they would bring Umi Sarifah home.

Ustadz Fariz turned his face away, he was not strong in actually holding back the trials given by God to him, but he tried to survive and try to keep everyone around him also did not give up on this ordeal.

"How salsa? Does she know that Umi's gone?" ask Ustadz Fariz on Ustadz Jaki.

Ustadz Jaki shook his head. She couldn't say that to a child as small as Salsa who loved her grandmother very much.

And he also did not understand how he could deliver the sad news to Salsa without making her cry hysterically and in shock again.

"Try telling him slowly. And immediately calm him down so that he can let go of Umi's departure calmly."

Ustadz Fariz tried to brief Ustadz Jaki, as he himself felt the same way when he was going to tell Rhea.

And later if Izam is aware, then he will be heavier to convey it to Izam because Umi Sarifah and Izam together at the time of the accident.

Just as Ustadz Jaki had suspected, Salsa was crying hysterically incessantly. He's even very hard to calm down. Until when he participated in the funeral process was still crying non-stop.

"Permy... Umi's... Brother Izam, Umi....."

It was so heartbreaking to cry a grandson to his grandmother who had gone home to Him.

Everyone is taking Umi Sarifah for the last time. All the extended families of Pondok Pesantren Al-Mukmin felt the loss of their mother. The Ustadz, Ustadzah, santri, santriwati and servants in Pondok Pesantren Al-Mukmin were shrouded in deep sorrow.

All the families, friends, clerics from various places gathered to honor Umi Sarifah for the last time.

Rhea and Shinta's family also took her to the cemetery of Pondok Pesantren Al-Mukmin.

The tomb of Umi Sarifah was accompanied by the meal of her husband, Kyai Farhan, the owner and founder of Pondok Pesantren Al-Mukmin.

"Would you come here? You murderer!"
