First Love of Ustadz

Chapter 40 The troubling dream

Mirna's morning began with no enthusiasm and full of anger. His dream last night was still vividly remembered in his mind, until when he closed his eyes again after dreaming earlier, it felt like the dream was clearly visible in his eyes.

His face was bent, there was no smile or spirit shown by his face. Until when she sat on the porch of the house was felt to see her husband and Rhea was holding a child when there was a child about five years old who was being held by her mother's father to walk through the Uncle's house Mirna's.

It unsettles Mirna and makes her burn jealous again. Mirna pondered, not contemplating her faults but contemplating how she could be the first in her husband's heart. So that her husband's attention is focused only on her.

Uncle Mirna had warned him, but basically Mirna was very stubborn he did not heed the advice of his Uncle and Umi Sarifah who had always cared about him.

In her mind and heart Mirna was filled with envy and jealousy. He no longer cares about the feelings of others. His feelings are the most important to him.

Mirna was tired of being at her Uncle's house, especially her nephews had not returned home from boarding school. They live in another Pondok Pesantren outside the city.

Mirna took a walk out of the house while thinking of ways that she could take her husband's heart. Because all this time he felt like he had failed just in the usual way.

Did not feel unknowingly Mirna's footsteps invited him to the Pondok Pesantren Al-Mukmin area. He was in the garden and saw Rhea picking some vegetables.

"Loh Bu Mirna would like to grab some vegetables too? Want to take which one, ma'am, let me help you," said one of the students who was picking vegetables to cook in the soup kitchen.

"Sstttt. Here you are," Mirna put her ring finger on her lips then moved her hand to get the santri to come closer to her.

Santri approached Mirna and said, "What's up Mom? Can I help you?"

"You don't tell anyone that I'm here. Just be careful if anyone knows," threatened Mirna to the santri.

"I-iya Ma'am," the santri nodded and left Mirna with a slight run towards the soup kitchen.

"That's why that woman, she must be happy because I'm not here. Look at it later, you will feel more pain than I feel," a sly grin rose on Mirna's lips.

Rhea had already finished picking the vegetables she would cook later. Now he walks towards the house of Umi Sarifah because some of his vegetables will be given to Umi Sarifah.

Along the way from the garden to the house of Umi Sarifah, Rhea always spread a smile on every santri and santriwati who greeted him.

That is why Rhea has always been respected and liked by santri and santriwati in the Pesantren. Rhea's attitude and nature were the opposite of Mirna's. Until the santri call his Kyai has a wife who is like fire and water, one usually heats the situation and the other can extinguish the fire.

Ustad Fariz was planting flowers in the garden next to the house of Umi Sarifah and Ustad Jaki who were watering the flowers after planting earlier.

Rhea approached her husband after putting vegetables in the kitchen of Umi Sarifah. They both planted flowers together. With her ignorance, Rhea smeared her husband's nose with the slightly wet soil used to plant flowers.

Ustad Fariz replied, and there was a retaliation, then they chased each other like an Indian movie chasing in a flower garden.

Ustad Jaki laughed seeing those who were like small children, their spruce faces hit the ground and chased each other to retaliate.

When Ustad Jaki returned, he pointed his water hose towards the tree behind which Mirna was.

"There are a lot of ants? Poor tree shrouded in ants, must be sick to be bitten by ants as much as that," said Ustad Jaki with a voice deliberately hardened.

Mirna was struck by the water, and she heard the voice of Ustad Jaki, so she did not dare to show herself or scold him for his wet clothes.

"The ant's got more? Don't have a house to go home to make a house in a tree?" said Ustad Jaki again while watering the tree with more water rushing out of the hose.

Mirna was overwhelmed by not being ready to receive the water that was rushing at her. And again he could not show himself out of anger and shame mixed into one.

Ustad Jaki's trouble held back her laughter. Until his laughter came out when he saw Mirna who was overwhelmed by the swift water that he poured through the hose then turned to leave and unlucky because he was caught by the spray of water and was afraid of being discovered, he slipped down because his flip-flops were too wet with water and slippery.

Mirna turned her head towards Ustad Jaki who was laughing satisfied laughing at her. Mirna glared in anger at Ustad Jaki.

"Astaghfirullahaladzim was horrified..," said Ustad Jaki as he put down his water hose and rubbed his chest.

Then he raised his hands parallel to his face and his mouth was muttering in prayer.

Damn, what do you think I am a demon? Look out for you, I'll reply later. Just wait! Mirna was full of emotion to the point that her chest was up and down breathing with her emotions.

"What's Ustad?" asked Rhea from their direction about twenty meters from Ustad Jaki was located.

Hearing Rhea's voice, Mirna went back to hiding behind a tree. It turned out that his footsteps that took him to Pondok Pesantren Al-Mukmin was wrong. After she became a victim of Ustad Jaki's ignorance, now she sees her husband's attitude is very sweet and very happy with his second wife.

Now Ustad Fariz helped Rhea clean her cheeks from the ground that was smeared by Ustad Fariz earlier, and Rhea did the same, they helped each other clean the face of her partner from the land they applied earlier.

Ustad Jaki looked at Mirna who was infuriated and with angry face and fiery eyes she left her hiding place as Ustad Fariz and Rhea walked home to their house hand in hand.

Actually Ustad Jaki pity Mirna, but seeing the attitude and nature of Mirna is very outrageous makes Ustad Jaki remove his love for Mirna.

In the afternoon, Rhea started cooking to break the fast with her husband. Very happy she felt for days can be close to her husband like a married couple in general. Unfortunately if there was Mirna she had to divide three days with her husband on Mirna.

Actually Rhea was sad to know Mirna left the house without saying goodbye to her husband, let alone it was because of her. But there is a little bit of happiness because in the absence of Mirna she can be free with her husband at any time.

Astaghfirullahaladzim., Rhea's mind because his mind was a little happy because there was no Mirna.

"Bie. gawaaaaat.." shouted Rhea from the kitchen.
