First Love of Ustadz
Chapter 75 Good News
Tonight Rhea felt a very long and lonely longing that made her want to see her husband
He saw many times the phone that was in his grasp. There were no messages or calls from her husband.
"Hubby where the hell is it? Tumben has no news. Don't know what kind of miss? Just be careful if there is no news later," Rhea grumbled to herself in her room because she was waiting for news from her husband.
Waiting..waiting and waiting. Rhea waited for news from her husband to fall asleep.
At three o'clock in the morning Rhea woke up. His eyes blinked adjusting the light entering the retina of his eye. And he paused for a few seconds to gather his memories before he fell asleep. When she had gathered all her memories, she immediately saw her cell phone, and there was no news from her husband.
Rhea grew annoyed at her husband, but she missed him so much. Finally, she performed the evening prayer and prayed to the khalik so that everything went smoothly and her pregnancy was given health until giving birth.
Rhea could not close her eyes back because her longing for her husband was too deep. With his uncertain feelings, he headed to the kitchen to make a warm drink so that his mind relaxed again.
I don't know why she wanted to go see her husband. And her mind was not calm because there was no news from her husband.
"Well, Rhea is awake?" Father shocked Rhea with his question as Rhea was stirring her drink.
"Dad, I've woken up, I can't sleep, '" replied Rhea, continuing to stir her drink.
"Many thoughts or more missing?" Father chuckled asking Rhea.
"Both Well. Mm... Dad, can Rhea go back to the Al-Mukmin Boarding School?" rhea asked doubtfully to her father.
Adrian thought for a moment, then he said, "Now?"
Rhea drank a little while sitting in a chair nearby.
" Maybe Well," Rhea looked expectantly at her Father.
Actually, Mr. Adrian did not have the heart to see Rhea sad as it is now, but according to the message of Ustad Fariz that he will pick up Rhea after everything is finished.
"But your husband said he'd pick you up if it was all done. Shouldn't you just wait?" Father tried to persuade Rhea not to ask to go home now.
"From last night Rhea's husband didn't tell Dad, Rhea was worried. Can I send Rhea home?" Rhea turned back to her father.
"Awhile, I asked your mother first yes," Dad walked into the room leaving Rhea after getting a nod from Rhea.
Rhea drank her drink while looking at her phone. She wanted to call her husband, but he was in a cradle mode and wanted to know how far her husband would go.
He also wanted to contact Ustad Jaki to ask about Ustad Fariz, but he did not dare to fear Ustad Fariz misunderstood.
Rhea had contacted Umi Sarifah, but Umi Sarifah's phone was not active, maybe being charged.
Rhea was getting more steady to return home, he blamed himself because the other day Ustad Fariz visited, Rhea's car would be left by Ustad Fariz, he said, but Rhea is not allowed because she does not have the heart if her husband comes home using the train. And now he really needs his car.
Chequek!
The door to Father and Mother's room opened, revealing Father and Mother who had come out of their room walking towards Rhea.
"Why Dear? Same with husband?" mother asked Rhea while rubbing Rhea's hair that was not covered with hijab.
Rhea did not wear her hijab if at her parents' house at certain hours, at hours where there were no workers at home, there were only nuclear family members, her father, her mother and Rendi.
Rhea nodded and told her mother about her anxiety. Mrs Ratih also understood the anxiety of her son to her husband, especially for several weeks they had not met.
"Well, we'll take Rhea with us at dawn how?" Mr. Ratih asked for Mr. Adrian's opinion.
"Is it okay? Rhea's husband promised to pick Rhea up if the business was done," Mr. Adrian asked back to Mr. Ratih.
"Mom think it's okay Dad. Actually Rhea's husband will be here if you're not busy. Because of his busyness, he could not come here. Yes, if that's how we go back to Rhea. From Rhea to keep thinking and impact on the content, mending us just take her home Well," Mrs Ratih gave a very long explanation to Mr. Adrian..
Finally, Pak Adrian and Bu Ratih drove Rhea back to Pondok Pesantren Al-Mukmin.
The journey taken from the homes of both parents Rhea to Pondok Pesantren Al-Mukmin feels very long for Rhea. Unlike the time when Rhea was with Ustad Fariz, it felt like time felt very fast for them. Love is so beautiful. It is great to love and be loved at the same time.
"Assalamu'alaikum..," Rhea greeted Umi Sarifah at the door and was followed by her father and mother.
"wa'alaikumussalam.", replied someone from inside the house and went out to open the door.
"Rhea? Are there Mom and Dad too? " Umi Sarifah was shocked to see that Rhea was already at her doorstep, while Ustad Fariz had not returned home from her divorce trial.
Rhea took Umi Sarifah's hand and kissed the back of her hand.
"Let's go in first, and we'll talk" Umi Sarifah invites Rhea to walk towards the living room by embracing her shoulders.
"Ustad Fariz where's Umi?" rhea asked Umi Sarifah while walking.
"Ehemmm, there seems to be a longing for this," Umi Sarifah teased Rhea until her face flushed with embarrassment.
"Ah Umi..," Rhea was ashamed because Umi Sarifah's guess was indeed true.
"Your husband is attending his divorce hearing" Umi Sarifah told Rhea.
"Father, Mother, let's sit down, for a moment yes, I will get you a drink first," Umi Sarifah will stand up but be prevented by Rhea.
"Rhea aja Umi who took it," Rhea stood up and walked towards the kitchen, there she met with Mbak Atik and as usual, Mbak Atik forbade Rhea to make drinks for guests, because Mbak Atik is the one who will make drinks for them.
Pak Adrian and Bu Ratih told Umi Sarifah about the situation and the busyness of Rhea while there. And Umi Sarifah also smiled happily because what was felt by Rhea was exactly the same as Ustad Fariz here.
"Assalamu'alaikum., ." Ustad Fariz said a greeting without looking ahead at the entrance of the house, because his eyes were fixed on his cellphone.
"Wa'alaikumussalam..," answered some people who among his voice Ustad Fariz was very familiar and very much missed.
Ustad Fariz turned his gaze from his cell phone at the person who answered his greetings.
"Zahra's? Dear..," Ustad Fariz hugged Rhea tightly, he missed his wife who he had not seen for weeks.
Ustad Fariz unraveled his embrace, watching closely the face of the woman he so desperately missed.
"Am I dreaming?" the chirp of Ustad Fariz made everyone there chuckle to hear it.
"Hubby doesn't miss me? Why is there no news from yesterday? Is Hubby okay?" Rhea flocked Ustad Fariz with a lot of questions from yesterday on her mind and wanted her to ask if she met her husband.
Instead of Ustad Fariz answering his wife's question, he smiled and hugged her body tightly.
"I miss you so much" Ustad Fariz said as he hugged his wife.
But after a few seconds he broke his arms back to look at his wife's face again and said, "Kangeeeeen is so much my wife."
The treatment and words of Ustad Fariz made Rhea both happy and ashamed. There was a red tinge of shame on Rhea's face of happiness.
"Where's Le's trial?" Umi Sarifah asked did not intend to disperse the kangen-angen event of a husband and wife who were in front of him, only Umi Sarifah wanted to know the development of the divorce trial Ustad Fariz with Mirna.
"Alhamdulillah has officially divorced Umi, just wait for her divorce deed," Ustad Fariz replied with a sigh and her happy face could not be hidden.
"Alhamdulillah.," said thanksgiving out of the mouths of all those who were there with relief.
"Then why wasn't Hubby heard from yesterday? Don't know if I'm so worried?"
