First Love of Ustadz
Chapter 36 Misconceptions
"Not too acidic Nduk?" ask Umi Sarifah to Rhea who is now enjoying a young mango taken by Ustad Jaki.
"Enak Umi" replied Rhea while chewing the young mango.
Umi only expressed as if she also felt the sourness of the young mango.
"Aja aja do not eat but also feel the acid and grinding of Umi's teeth," said Umi Sarifah while shuddering.
"Hehehe. But really seger loh Umi. Want to try Umi?" Rhea held out a plate containing slices of young mango.
Umi Sarifah shook her head, "Make Rhea aja."
"Assalamu'alaikum.," said Ustad Jaki when entering Rhea's house whose door was not closed.
"Wa'alaikumussalam..," replied Umi Sarifah and Rhea together.
Ustad Jaki sat down, she noticed Rhea who was eating young mangoes voraciously without feeling the acid and pain in her teeth.
"Did you call Doctor Shinta?" ask Ustad Jaki to Rhea.
Rhea's view shifted to Ustad Jaki.
"Did Doctor Shinta tell Ustad?" ask Rhea back.
"You still have stomach cramps?" Ustad Jaki asked back.
"Udah is not Ustad. It was just a minute. Doctor Shinta said should not be tired and stressed," answered Rhea accompanied by his cry so that Umi Sarifah and Ustad Jaki do not worry.
Hearing the conversation Rhea and Ustad Jaki who talked about the condition of the content of Rhea, Umi Sarifah became nervous and worried.
Umi Sarifah hugged Rhea's body and rubbed her back.
"Prophey yes Nduk, you must be strong so that your baby is also strong and healthy. Do you want to stay at Umi's house?" umi Sarifah was very worried.
"Rhea here is Umi. Kan house Umi deket there, if there is anything Rhea must go directly to Umi's house," replied Rhea with a smile cheerful so that Umi Sarifah no longer worried about him.
"Oiya, doesn't Miss Mirna know about your pregnancy?" ask Ustad Jaki to Rhea.
"I don't think Miss Mirna knows Ustad yet" replied Rhea as she continued eating her mango.
"You don't intend to tell him?" ask Ustad Jaki back.
"Let's let Mirna know for herself later Ustad," replied Rhea.
"Why?" tanya Ustad Jaki probed.
"I don't want my pregnancy to make Miss Mirna sad. Let her know for herself later," replied Rhea with a smile.
"Ck, why can't Miss Mirna understand like you? Poor Ustad Fariz," Oceh Ustad Jaki.
Plaque!
Ustad Jaki's back was hit by Umi Sarifah, but not hard. Umi just reminded Ustad Jaki not to be excited if talking.
"Umi's pain..," Ustad Jaki whispered as she rubbed her back.
Umi Sarifah glared her eyes at Ustad Jaki, but was met with laughter by Rhea and Ustad Jaki.
Rhea's cell phone rang stopped their laughter. Her mother's name was on her phone screen. He was immediately picked up by Rhea. It turned out that his father and mother were now at Rhea's grandmother's house. While Rendi, Rhea's younger sister did not come, she was at home with Bik Atin who was helping Mom at home.
"Who's Nduk?" ask Umi Sarifah.
"Mom and Dad have arrived at Grandma's house now Umi. Emmm... Can Rhea get there?" asked Rhea expectantly.
Umi notices the look on Rhea's face which seems very eager to meet her parents. And according to Umi Sarifah this is the best so that Rhea does not stress and hurt with the behavior of Mirna.
Umi Sarifah nodded.
"May, but you let your husband go Nduk."
Rhea smiled widely and nodded.
"Do you need Ustad Jaki Nduk?" ask Umi Sarifah.
"Don't Umi, I could have beaten her husband. Just now his eyes seemed to take out a laser to kill me just because I took a mango for his beloved wife," said Ustad Jaki.
"It's up to you, then tell Umi if you leave, yes" Umi Sarifah told Rhea.
"Rhea must say goodbye to Umi if leaving, Umi just calm down," said Rhea calming.
"Udah Umi, I'd like a tadarusan first. Assalamu'alaikum..," said Ustad Jaki to Umi and kissed the back of her hand.
"Wa'alaikumussalam..," replied Umi Sarifah and Rhea together.
After Umi Sarifah returned home, Rhea contacted Mr. Sardi to pick her up. About 20 minutes Mr. Sardi came and drove Rhea to say goodbye to Umi Sarifah's house.
The tring!
The sound of the message notification from Rhea made Ustad Fariz curious. The message was opened when Mirna was washing dishes.
[Assalamu'alaikum's...
Bie, I have permission to see Mom and Dad. I'm sorry I didn't call Hubby first because I'm afraid Mirna's mad. I hope Hubby isn't mad at me. I love you my husband ]
Seeing the message from his Zahra, Ustad Fariz was shocked, his breathing was irregular, he did not want to be away from his beloved wife.
Ustad Fariz ran to Rhea's house but it was dark, and it signified that Rhea was not home. He knocked on his door but no one answered. When Ustad Fariz's body went limp, he sat on the front floor of Rhea's door.
Ustad Fariz felt very disappointed with Rhea who he thought ran away from the situation. Then he walked quickly to Umi Sarifah's house, because according to him Rhea might be at Umi Sarifah's house, because it is impossible for Rhea to go home to her parents on a late night like this.
It turns out that arriving at Umi Sarifah's house, she does not find her Zahra.
"Did Mirna let you come here?" asked Umi Sarifah upset.
"Umi why did Zahra become like this?" ask Ustad Fariz.
"Let him calm himself first so that he and his content are healthy" replied Umi Sarifah.
"But Umi, does she deserve these nights to go to her parents' house in town?" Ustad Fariz expressed his frustration.
"Dragon speak of you Le. You do not know what really happened, if you know for sure you will regret," said Umi Sarifah firmly.
"Sorry Umi, but-"
"Istighfar Le's. You are overcome by anger and disappointed in yourself. Don't blame Rhea for how you feel" Umi Sarifah interjected Ustad Fariz's remarks.
"Astaghfirullahaladhim.... Umi was right, I was angry with this situation and I was disappointed in myself and also in Rhea. I was very worried about Umi" said Ustad Fariz, who then hugged Umi Sarifah to hide her tears dripping down her cheeks.
"You better go home now than Mirna did again. Rhea is okay, she is now with her parents at her grandmother's house. You'd better see him tomorrow" said Umi Sarifah as Ustad Fariz let go of his arms at Umi Sarifah.
With a heavy heart, Ustad Fariz nodded and told Umi Sarifah to return to Mirna's house.
Arriving at Mirna's house, Ustad Fariz is greeted by Mirna's rant for leaving without her knowledge. Ustad Fariz ignored Mirna, preferring to read the Quran to calm his heart and mind.
The next day, after Ramadan activities in Pondok Pesantren, Ustad Fariz was in the lake which became Rhea's favorite place. He stared at the sparkling lake water exposed to the sunlight.
Ustad Jaki who happened to pass the road saw the dreamy Ustad Fariz. Near him Ustad Fariz and when it was close, Ustad Jaki surprised him as they usually joke.
"Astaghfirullahaladzim, you are always ngaggetin aja" said Ustad Fariz annoyed by rubbing his chest.
"The abbisnya from earlier daydream," Ustad Jaki said.
"Who's daydreaming?" ask Ustad Fariz.
"Ente, who else," replied Ustad Jaki annoyed.
"Not daydreaming but contemplating" elak Ustad Fariz.
"Emmm... Ustad know what Rhea is?" tanya Ustad Jaki who could not bear to see Ustad Fariz in confusion.
"What's with Rhea?" ustad asked Fariz in shock and turned to Ustad Jaki.
Then Ustad Jaki told him what he knew from Doctor Shinta and he also said all his chatter last night with Rhea at Rhea's house with Umi Sarifah.
Ustad Fariz shouted loudly towards the lake to vent his anger which so stifled his chest with tears that signified his heartache.
"Where'd you go Ustad?" yelled Ustad Jaki when he saw Ustad Fariz running.
"Meet my angel" he cried as he ran.
