First Love of Ustadz

Chapter 49 Towards a new beginning

Ustad Fariz threw out Mirna's hand which blocked her hand.

"Sorry Mirna, everything is clear and you don't have to play anymore."

Ustad Fariz left his office in annoyance but his heart was relieved. With his broad steps now feeling light, Ustad Fariz rushed home to Umi Sarifah's house.

"Mas... Mas Fariz's... Mas..," cried Mirna who intended to stop her husband from leaving.

"Mirna, calm yourself. You'd better come with Uncle to go home to be more calm," Mr. Ratmo prevented Mirna from pursuing her husband.

"But Uncle-"

"It is Mirna, you must cool your mind first and introspect yourself first. Once you are calm you can talk again with your husband," said Mr. Ratmo to stop Mirna who was still moping.

I will not be divorced. Look, you must be sorry if you divorce me, Mirna is full of emotions.

"Myrna, come.." Uncle Mirna asked Mirna to leave the room immediately.

"Wait for Uncle, I still can't take it. I can't just leave. I-"

"Myrna... Come on, don't embarrass Uncle. You go with uncle to the house first, "Uncle Mirna pulled Mirna's hand, but Mirna held on with all her might, she didn't want to move from the room.

"But I was slandered. I don't accept. I want to know who can slander me" exclaimed Mirna half hysterically.

"If you know who it is, what do you want?" sahut Ustad Jaki who was shocked to see Mirna from earlier did not want to accept the decision from Ustad Fariz.

Mirna looked back, where Ustad Jaki and the others were still in place. Actually they were about to leave the room, but they felt bad because there was still Mirna at the door blocking their exit.

"Do Ustad know who they are? Aaaah.it's impossible for Ustad not to know," Mirna smiled disdainfully.

"What do you know?" ustad Jaki said firmly.

"I'll meet them" said Mirna no less emphatically than Ustad Jaki.

"Mirna. Come.."" Mr. Ratmo pulled back Mirna's hand, but Mirna was still in place.

"Uncle, off-sight"

"For what? Are you going to terrorize them?" Ustad Jaki again smiled disdainfully.

"Why are they slandering me? Or maybe this is just an arrangement so that Mas Fariz can divorce me easily?" now that Mirna was getting carried away with emotions, she spoke in a defiant tone and her eyes half glared.

"As far as you! Males I was arguing with a woman who always wanted to win by herself" Ustad Jaki left the room in a fit of annoyance.

"Already, now you are coming with Uncle," finally Mr. Ratmo no longer softened, he pulled the tangam Mirna as hard as he could so that Mirna could not hold on anymore.

Mr. Ratmo had not wanted to humiliate Mirna by forcefully withdrawing like this, so that he would still have dignity in front of others. But all in vain, because Mirna is still Mirna who stubbornly still survives with her ego.

Ustad Fariz's footsteps now became light, different from his footsteps when leaving earlier. The burden in his heart was gone. No more worries would hurt his Zahra, his beloved wife. Mother of her children.

"Umi, I'm the same mom who hasn't come yet? Though yesterday said he wanted to come today," Rhea was sitting next to Umi Sarifah who was watching a television show.

Rhea leaned her head on Umi Sarifah's shoulder like a spoiled child to her own mother. Of course Umi Sarifah is very happy, because this is her hope since long ago, having a daughter close to her.

Umi Sarifah gently rubbed Rhea's head wrapped in hijab with affection.

"Surely they will come soon. Patience, all of us will have dinner together" said Umi Sarifah softly while displaying her smile.

"Nduk not yet, maybe they will be home soon, too" replied Umi Sarifah turning her eyes from the TV screen towards Rhea's face.

"mmm... Umi, can Rhea ask you something?" rhea hesitated.

Umi Sarifah nodded and said, "Of course it can be Nduk," as her hand rubbed Rhea's head.

"mmm... Umi, do you know why Ustad Fariz sent Miss Mirna into his room now?" asked Rhea back in a hesitant tone.

Umi Sarifah smiled meaningfully looking at Rhea.

"Not Umi, not as Umi thought. Rhea wasn't jealous, really, Rhea... Rhea just wanted to know," said Rhea nervous as if caught doing something.

Umi Sarifah laughed and heard Rhea's words.

"Jealous is also gapapa Nduk, indeed Ustad Fariz is your husband, so you have the right to be jealous."

"But Miss Mirna is also Umi's wife, so Rhea should not be jealous. Uh. Umi's not, Rhea is not jealous really," Rhea stuttered back, it seems like she was caught getting caught jealous.

Umi Sarifah laughed loudly at Rhea who was like that, keceplosan admitted but still dodged.

"That's nothing to think about. Your husband will tell you about it. Remember, you must not think that no-no, pity the baby's dedek," Umi Sarifah held Rhea's stomach while rubbing her slowly.

Rhea nodded and smiled, then she watched the TV show watched by Umi Sarifah since then.

Umi Sarifah was asked by Ustad Fariz to keep Rhea at home. Because he didn't want Rhea to know about her decision to divorce Mirna today because of her actions on Rhea yesterday that harmed Rhea and her womb.

Ustad Fariz knew that if Rhea would definitely prevent her from divorcing Mirna because Rhea was indeed an understanding figure, she never blamed Mirna for her heartache all along. He just felt that indeed his fault was present in the relationship of Ustad Fariz and Mirna.

But Ustad Fariz could never have imagined how Rhea would react if he knew that Mirna had deliberately harmed him and the child in her womb.

Ustad Fariz did not want to make Rhea go awry and too much thought. So he decided to keep his intention of divorcing Mirna from Rhea until the speech he had given to Mirna.

"Assalamu'alaikum.," said Ustad Fariz, as he entered the house.

"Wa'alaikumussalam..," replied Umi Sarifah and Rhea together.

Ustad Fariz immediately stepped towards the source of the voice that answered his greeting earlier. When he had already found the figure he was looking for, immediately Ustad Fariz hugged Rhea tightly and soulfully.

After a few minutes, Ustad Fariz broke his arms and took the hand of Umi Sarifah who was beside Rhea to kiss the back of her hand.

Umi Sarifah smiled happily when she saw the look on her son's face filled with happiness and relief.

After that Ustad Fariz again grabbed Rhea's body and re-hugged her, with a happy smile she kissed Rhea's forehead shamelessly at Umi Sarifah who was next to them.

"Bie, tumben, why?" ask Rhea wonder.

Ustad Fariz just smiled while looking full of happiness with an intense gaze on Rhea, his beloved wife, Zahra who will now be his only wife.

"Bie.. iih not answered, why even smile anyway?" Rhea was anxious to see her husband.

Rhea pinched her husband's cheeks simultaneously because her question was even answered with a smile that certainly made Rhea want it so much.

"Assalamu'alaikum's chat..."
