First Love of Ustadz

Chapter 208 The feeling of loss

Sadness because of the return of Umi Sarifah for eternity it still enveloped Pondok Pesantren Al-Mukmin. They feel very lost their mother in Pondok Pesantren Al-Mukmin.

Even the surrounding community is still talking about the figure of Umi Sarifah during his life. There are so many life lessons that they take from the speech and problem solving given by Umi Sarifah to them at every opportunity.

"Mom, Miss Mirna didn't feel like losing Umi Sarifah?"

Anita asked Mirna while cooking in her stall.

"You mean what the hell is Nit? Why are you asking me that?"

Mirna responded to Anita's question in annoyance.

"It's not like that Ma'am, it's just that Anita has never heard Mbak Mirna talk about Umi Sarifah. While the people out there still remember the kindness of Umi Sarifah."

Anita explained the meaning of her words to Mirna.

"They just want to look good in the eyes of the Pondok Pesantren Al-Mukmin family. Now only when the people are not there, they complain about Umi Sarifah. How duku? Did they confuse Umi Sarifah just like now?"

Mirna responded to Anita's words with a sewot, as if she had a grudge against the person she was talking about.

"Masa' the hell Mama? They always worship what Umi Sarifah says after they get knowledge from him. After the study they always adored Umi Sarifah, they were amazed at all the speeches and all the answers to the questions they asked. Masa' Ma'am Mirna don't know anyway? Isn't Miss Mirna always taking classes?"

Anita unknowingly uttered everything on her mind, and it made Mirna even more annoyed to hear it.

"I don't know and don't want to know!"

Mirna said it with an annoyed cry.

Anita scrunched her forehead. He was astonished to hear what Mirna had said.

"Why is Miss Mirna like that? Does Miss Mirna have a problem with Umi Sarifah?"

Anita was curious and wanted to know more about Mirna's attitude which seemed upset to hear the name Umi Sarifah.

"The Umi's not what they're talking about. They can talk like that because they don't know the truth. I who was with him for a few years could see the truth. So don't talk about this anymore."

Mirna's words increasingly make Anita become curious and increasingly want to know what happened with Mirna and Umi Sarifah.

"What the hell is going on? Ma'am Mirna has to tell her so Anita knows the truth and so Anita doesn't talk about it anymore."

Now Anita ventured to ask Mirna to tell what happened to her and Umi Sarifah while they lived side by side together in the Pondok Pesantren Al-Mukmin area.

"That's not as fair as they're talking. The proof is that he never defended me. She agrees that Mas Fariz is married to Rhea. Look, they're happy over my sadness. Umi is closer to Rhea, she loves Rhea more than I do. I was the first wife of Mas Fariz. Then why can't he get that close and dear to me? Is that called always fair and impartial in solving problems?"

Mirna explained to Anita in a fiery manner. It turns out that his bad thoughts that make him upset can encourage Mirna to be excited to explain it to Anita.

Astaghfirullahaladzim, it turns out that Ma'am Mirna thinks like that. It is fitting that he was very upset to hear the kindness of Umi Sarifah spoken of by the people. Ma'am Mirna is actually already aware of what has not been? How is his mind still like that? Can't he just examine his own faults so that he becomes what he is today?

Anita said in her heart, she looked at the face of Mirna who indeed felt no burden whatsoever.

Astaghfirullahaladzim. Unlike Mbak Rhea who was very hit at the funeral at that time, surely he felt very lost, he fainted at that time.

Anita does take turns keeping up with Mirna. Anita, who is eager to take the departure of Umi Sarifah for the last time, asked Mirna to take care of the baby Emir and after the funeral was over, Mirna and Pandu's impious turn to the funeral home. Baby Emir with Anita.

Actually Mirna is reluctant to come there, because he is reluctant to meet with Rhea, which means Pandu will meet his ex-wife again.

But Mirna also wants to meet her ex-husband. He hopes to comfort Ustadz Fariz who is certainly very sad over the departure of Umi Sarifah.

What Mirna expected did not happen at all. Rhea did not care about Pandu, even Pandu's presence there did not know it.

And Mirna, she had no chance at all to offer condolences to her ex-husband.

He asked Mr. Ratmo where Ustadz Fariz was at the time, but Mr. Ratmo's reply upset him.

She finds out that Rhea has just given birth to her second child, and Mirna's ex-husband Ustadz Fariz is waiting for her in the room because Rhea has not yet realized from her stupor at Umi Sarifah's funeral.

Hearing that, Pandu felt worried for Rhea. Somehow, if you hear the name of Rhea remind him of the story of their marriage.

For almost a year they were married, they had been trying to get Rhea pregnant. But none of their efforts succeeded. I don't know what God's plan was for their marriage.

Pandu remembers the times when he and Rhea dreamed of having a child and they each made a name for their child. Hana and Gibran, their chosen names for their future children.

Maybe this is their destiny. Now they have both been awarded two children from their respective spouses.

Only Mirna here has no children, but she has Hana and Emir who are her children now as mothers.

"Nit, is it done cooking?"

Mirna's question made Anita aware of her daydream.

"Eh has not yet Ma'am" Anita replied with a clumsy smile as she was looked at by Mirna with an annoyed look.

"So much more than that, what are you doing?" asked Mirna in a slightly raised voice.

Mirna's voice awakens the sleeping baby Emir. Indeed, the baby Emir always goes with Mirna and Anita at the stall before Pandu comes home from work.

In the stall has been made by Mr. Ratmo wooden baby box for the baby Emir bed if in the stall.

"Ck, you're Nit. So get up the Emir" Mirna said angrily after she took the baby Emir from her baby box to calm him down and put him back to bed.

The long cry of the baby Emir did not stop even though it had been given warm milk by Mirna.

"Here Ma'am, try Anita who's carrying Emir."

Anita approaches them and directs her hand to take over the baby Emir from Mirna's sling.

"No, you cook there, let me carry my son."

Mirna said a little to Anita and she emphasized the word 'my son' in order to be heard by Anita clearly.
