First Love of Ustadz

Chapter 248 Reality

Izam was struck by the question posed by Ustadz Fariz. She did not expect that her Abi would ask her that.

Izam still remained silent not answering. He still thought because honestly the question had already been asked twice by his Abi to him, so Izam thought that his Abi couldn't possibly just ask him a prank.

"Zam, why don't you answer? Do you feel things you don't know? Or maybe you deny it?" tanya Ustadz Fariz.

Izam sighed he heard the question from his Abi. Then he said,

"Izam doesn't know Bi. What Izam knows now, Izam considers him a younger brother like Yasmin. They are very important to Izam. And Izam must protect and protect them."

"really? Does he mean a lot to you? Abi sees that you are very anxious and worried when he finds out that Salsa is sick. Is it true that she you think of as your sister, just like Yasmin?" ask Ustadz Fariz back.

"I mean Abi...."

"Ask your heart Zam. Do not let you later regret choosing a wife that is not your heart's choice. That's just a message from Abi. If you ask Abi, God willing Abi will be ready to help you" Ustadz Fariz interrupted Izam's words.

Izam was silent, he was digesting his Abi words well. She now understood where her questions and Abi talk were going this time.

"Izam will think carefully Bi. Izam honestly stalled the matchmaking time because Izam himself was not sure Bi," Izam said as he looked at his Abi.

Ustadz Fariz smiled, he knew exactly what his son was thinking.

"Abi tau Zam" said Ustadz Fariz as he patted Izam's shoulder gently.

"Oh, we go back there now. Let his Abi Salsa pray now," Ustadz Fariz said, standing up from his seat.

Then they headed to the recovery room. Salsa was conscious and moved to the treatment room.

Ustadz Fariz and Ustadz Jaki discussed the matter of Al-Mukmin Pesantren Cottage before Ustadz Fariz returned home. So Izam leaves them for Salsa's treatment room.

"Sir Izam is worried, isn't he Manda?" yasmin tried to mute Salsa who was still weak after surgery.

"Yes, he was very anxious earlier when you were in the operating room" Shinta said with a smile.

Salsa only smiled weakly and she was too weak to speak in response to Yasmin and Shinta's words.

"This must be because you like to eat spicy. Lately, you always buy super spicy food. Don't think Manda doesn't understand ya," Shinta said as if she scolded Salsa and Salsa only smiled weakly in response.

"So before the pain, Salsa ate meatballs with sambal seven spoons of Manda loh," Yasmin told Shinta.

"What's? You want ma-"

Shinta's words stopped, she realized she could not say that. In his breath, he then said back what he wanted to say without mentioning the thing he had avoided earlier.

Huff...

"Did you not love yourself? Not loving your health? Aren't you thinking about Abi and Manda? Is Izam all you think about?" ceplos Shinta's.

"Manda.," said Salsa in a weak voice.

"Sorry, Manda let go" Shinta said, then sat on the sofa in the room.

"I know Salsa. Does Salsa like Izam's sister?" yasmin said with a smile and her hands clasped Salsa's hands.

The deg!

Izam who was behind the door, now he had heard everything. She is shocked when her name is mentioned by Shinta and Yasmin.

Then is it true that Salsa has been avoiding me because of that match? Ah.. stupid me. I have to find the answer in my heart, who is really in my heart, Izam said in his heart.

"Yasmin..," said Salsa weak powerless.

"Let's be calm, sister, I already know without Salsa talking even to me. Only insensitive people don't know" Yasmin said, chuckling.

"And that person is Izam," said Yasmin again to reconnect his previous words.

Yasmin chuckled and Salsa smiled weakly at Yasmin's words. As for Shinta, she heard all the chatter of Salsa and Yasmin. She was happy to see Salsa and Yasmin very familiar even though they had just met, just like her with Rhea back then.

After a while there was no discussion of Izam in the room, Izam knocked on the door of the room.

After that he entered the room after saying his greetings. Salsa looked startled and avoided Izam's eyes. And Izam knows that.

Izam suddenly had his breath become tight, it seemed like his heart felt pain when he saw Salsa's current state.

"Where are you Sa?" Izam asked when he was next to Salsa.

Salsa just tried to smile thinly and she nodded without answering. There was a sense of shame and heartache when Izam saw.

Embarrassed because she apologized to Izam as if they would never meet again and hurt because of the matchmaking.

"Is no one sick?" Izam asked with his face in front of Salsa's face that looked down and stared intensely at Salsa's eyes.

Salsa was now nervous to find Izam's face very close to his. His heart was pounding so fast that he found it very difficult to breathe because Izam's breathing hit his skin.

Astaghfirullahaladzim..why am I so careless? Maybe because I have been used to it since I used to think of it like my own sister until now was still used to it, Izam said in his heart.

Soon she kept her face away from Salsa's face. It was very nervous about both. Shinta and Yasmin can see it.

Salsa was silent, she tried hard to organize her heart and calm her heart. As for Izam, he was now like he was at a loss for words due to his nervousness.

"Assalamu'alaikum" said Ustadz Fariz's greeting as he entered the room.

Everyone in the room turned to look at the door.

Ustadz Fariz came in and approached Salsa, then he said,

"How are you doing Salsa?" ustadz asked Fariz while smiling at Salsa.

"Good Bi," Salsa replied softly and weakly.

"You rest first yes, Abi will come here with Mother. Now Abi and Izam want to go back to the cottage. We still have a teaching dependant in a moment" Ustadz Fariz told Salsa.

Salsa nodded and smiled at Ustadz Fariz.

"Thank you Abi" said Salsa.

Ustadz Fariz nodded and smiled at Salsa. Then he looked at Yasmin.

"Is Yasmin here accompanying Salsa?" ask Ustadz Fariz to Yasmin.

"Yes Bi," Yasmin replied as she approached her Abi.

"Well, Abi and Izam came home first, yes" said Ustadz Fariz and was embraced by Yasmin.

Yasmin kissed the back of her Abi and Izam hands.

"Shin, let's go back first" Ustadz Fariz said goodbye to Shinta.

Izam looked at Salsa who was not looking at him at all. Izam felt a great pain when Salsa did not look at him when he was about to leave the room.

"Be careful and tell Rhea not to worry. Salsa is fine" Shinta told Fariz.

Ustadz Fariz nodded and walked out of the room together with Izam. They returned to the Al-Mukmin Pondok Pesantren.

On the way Izam just silently felt a sense that he never felt. He wondered what it was and he would seek the answer to God, the power over all.
