Izam rejoined his family to eat with his family and the family of Kyai Anwar.
Sitting up agitated and eating him was not comfortable considering that he had been abandoned by Salsa just like that without telling her anything. And Yasmin also refused to tell her what she knew to her brother.
His anxiety increased when their meal began without Salsa and Yasmin.
Rhea and Ustadz Fariz understood that her son was agitated and uncomfortable there. It felt like Rhea asked her son that, but all that was undone because the situation was not supportive.
Adiba who likes to steal a glance at Izam also feels if Izam is uncomfortable at this time, so he is a little disappointed.
After the meal was over, Kyai Anwar's family said goodbye.
"Zam, where are your brothers going?" ammar asked Izam who was now walking with him to drive them to his car.
"I don't know where they're going either. I was looking for him. It's not usually like that" Izam said anxiously.
Ammar smiled, he saluted Izam who was very attentive to his younger siblings.
"You're Zam's good brother. I'll be calm if I hand over my sister Adiba to you" Ammar said with a smile.
"Not every big brother like that huh? I love them very much and I have to pay attention and protect them" Izam said later.
"Great you Zam. I'm happy to get to know you," Ammar said as he patted Izam's shoulder gently.
Izam chuckled at getting such praise from Ammar. They were very close and they both hoped to become friends even though the matchmaking event did not happen.
Adiba occasionally looks back when he hears the laughter of Izam and Ammar, his brother. He did not walk with the two of them, but rather walked with his Umi in front of them, with a considerable distance.
While in the kitchen of Rhea's house, Mbak Atik was bothered by Salsa to help him make a dish with super much chili.
"This is really a gapapa mbak?" ask Mama Atik to Salsa.
"Yes Ma'am, we make the season using such chili," replied Salsa while peeling the fruits that will be used as a staple by them.
"Sir Yasmin, this really won't hurt your stomach?" ask Ms. Atik to Yasmin.
"According to Ma'am, it looks like Salsa's sister is craving again" Yasmin replied with a chuckle.
Just like Izam who did not want to be called Gus. Yasmin did not want to be called Ning. Not that they do not want to, just that they still feel unable to bear the title of the title. They are still in the process of being able to hold the title.
Not long ago the process of making rujak and the seasoning was completed. Salsa invited Yasmin to bring the ingredients and spices to the gazebo behind the house that is very shady, perfect for eating rujak during the day like that.
Mbak Atik only once tried and he gave up, he was not strong with the amazing spicy taste of the seasoning he made.
"Mbak, yes, Mbak Atik is not strong," said Mbak Atik who was spiciness.
"Ih Mbak Atik cemen ah. Masa' gini has given pungency," said Salsa while hissing spiciness.
"You're the one who passed over, brother. It's really spicy" Yasmin said after drinking water from a bottle.
"Udah ah, Madam Atik to the kitchen first. Assalamu'alaikum" Mbak Atik said before leaving the venue.
"Wa'alaikumussalam," Salsa and Yasmin answered while hissing pungency.
"Here, we eat rujak together" Salsa exclaimed to some of the santriwati who were passing by them.
Actually, they are hesitant, but Salsa is not his name if it can not make them join with him and Yasmin to enjoy their homemade ramjak.
However, his love for Izam makes him upset when he sees Izam together with Adiba, the girl he will be betrothed to.
Even as she felt her heart ache so much if it was close to Izam, Salsa now preferred to avoid Izam so that she would no longer feel the heartache.
As they were eating the rujak, Izam walked back to his house. And it was accidentally caught by Salsa's eyes. Now he again remembered about Izam's match with Adiba.
"Salsa mother why cry?" ask a santriwati who is eating rujak with them.
Salsa's tears never subsided, even she sobbed because of the pain that was squeezing in her heart.
"Salsa's brother why cry?" yasmin asked, giving Salsa a bottle of water.
Salsa wiped her tears violently using the robe that covered her hands. Then she put on the tip of her hijab to wipe her snot out as she cried.
After that he received a bottle of drinking water that Yasmin gave him.
"Pedes is really his dream. Instead, I cry" said Salsa with a sigh of tears.
"Oh..," said they all, nodding their heads.
After that, they continued to eat the food. It is spicy, but it makes the word of them all.
"Salsa same Yasmin to where the hell Mba" asked Izam to Mbak Atik who was cleaning food at the dinner table.
"There is in the gazebo behind Ustadz, eating rujak," replied Mbak Atik as he continued his work.
"Eating rujak? They haven't eaten the rice Mbak, why eat rujak?" ask Izam astonished.
"Well, there it is Ustadz. Earlier, Mbak Atik said that, but Mbak Salsa again wants it now he said. Where the dish is super spicy again. Mbak Atik aja not strong as spicy," replied Mbak Atik.
"There are these guys" Izam said as he walked towards the rear gazebo.
"Assalamu'alaikum," Izam said his greetings when he was in front of the gazebo where Salsa and Yasmin ate the dish.
"Wa'alaikumussalam," answered all who were there.
All the santriwati who were enjoying the street looked back, they were surprised when they saw their Ustadz, Izam was there.
They immediately left the place.
"Eh... eh... Why are you guys going anyway? This is still a lot," Salsa exclaimed to those who had walked away from the gazebo.
Izam sat in the gazebo and tried to eat the spirit in front of him.
However, after eating once he opened his mouth and took out his tongue as if it was burning.
"Fuckin' spiciness. You guys haven't eaten rice yet but have eaten this bike dish? Do you want to poison yourself?" said Izam while hissing the spiciness.
"Alright, this poisoner is willing to step down. Assalamu'alaikum" Salsa said firmly and she immediately left the gazebo with her upset face.
"Sir Izam anyway," Yasmin said as she looked at Izam with an upset expression.
Izam is more confused, because now instead of him being able to restore Salsa's attitude, instead now he makes Salsa and Yasmin upset with him.
