Shinta was silent for a while, she assured herself that she would accept or not accept the goodwill of Ustad Jaki.
However, suddenly Ustad Jaki's voice startled him.
"Shinta," Ustad Jaki called out to Shinta who seemed to be daydreaming.
Shinta's reflex nodded and said,
"I-iya," Shinta answered, though she stuttered in shock.
Ustad Jaki and Shinta's parents smiled happily at Shinta's reply.
"Alhamdulillah.," said thanks from Ustad Jaki with the relief of his heart which is now a hollow without burden.
"Sir, Ma'am, God willing I will be here with my family after the event at Pondok Pesantren is over" Ustad Jaki told me of another arrival tomorrow with his family.
"Alright we will wait for his good intentions," Papa Shinta laughed happily saying it.
Shinta was embarrassed, her head lowered, hiding the red hue on her face, not daring to look at Ustad Jaki.
How to immediately answer yes, I'm craving again. Huff.... The shinta... Shinta.. selling expensive cakes to see how his business dapetin you, Shinta said in his heart to condemn his stupidity that reflexively agreed to the question from his parents.
Before dinner together, they prayed together at Shinta house with Ustad Jaki who became his priest.
The pleasure emanated from the faces of both of Shinta's parents. They are happy to have a daughter-in-law who has more religious knowledge than them, because their hope is that Shinta can be better if she has a husband like Ustad Jaki.
The chanting of the holy verse of the Qur'an sung by Ustad Jaki is so beautiful and the prayer he offered is so heartbreaking that it can make Shinta and his parents shed tears to hear it.
After that they took Ustad Jaki to dinner together. Then Ustad Jaki said goodbye after chatting for a while together after dinner last night.
"Udah Shin, you do not need to be jealous with Ustadzah Farida, we only discuss the matter of preparing for tomorrow's event in Pondok kok. Don't be that pout. The next time you say you're jealous, let me know you're jealous again," Ustad Jaki teases Shinta again when they're on the porch driving Ustad Jaki home.
"Who is jealous?" Shinta.
"Well, that was until the crab did not want to be taken home," Ustad Jaki again reminded Shinta of the incident last afternoon.
"Basically insensitive!" shinta exclaimed as she entered the house leaving Ustad Jaki who was going home.
"Sham... Shinta.. don't kiss hands first, Brother wants to go home," Ustad Jaki shouted for Shinta to hear his joke.
"Not mahram!" shinta shouted from inside the house.
Ustad Jaki chuckled at Shinta's reply. He still heard her joke even though he was inside the house.
Arriving at home, Ustad Jaki unceasingly hummed cheerfully with a smile that did not disappear from earlier.
"Assalamualaikum..," said Ustad Jaki's greeting as he entered the house.
"Wa'alaikumussalam..," replied everyone in the living room.
"Where did Le get the result?" ask Umi Sarifah to know.
Ustad Jaki would reply, his mouth open, but was cut off by Rhea.
"Where is Ustad, not accepted?" sahut Rhea was curious.
"In curiosity yes..," Ustad Jaki's prank back lured.
"Yes!!" replied Ustad Jaki while his right hand was straight up similar to the one who managed to win the match.
Everyone gawked at Ustad Jaki's celebrated action of winning Shinta's heart. A few seconds later they laughed and gave thanks.
"Alhamdulillah.," said the three of them so that make the smile Ustad Jaki more fluffy.
"Congratulations Le, may you be well until you officially become husband and wife" Umi Sarifah's speech and prayer were included in Ustad Jaki.
"Congratulations Ustad, may Shinta not be jealous again until she finally becomes a legitimate partner," speech and prayers accompanied by a chant given by Rhea to Ustad Jaki.
"Congratulations, brother. Finally marriage too, hopefully given smoothness. Are you ready yet to receive the jomblo predicate?" Ustad Fariz also gave prayers and congratulations which were accompanied by taunts to Ustad Jaki.
"Ck, you are a married couple who likes to bully others. Very clop by now. Looks like you guys are really a match," Ustad Jaki responded to the teasing of Rhea and Ustad Fariz.
"Hahahaha..," the laughter of the three of them was heard throughout the room of the house.
Ustad Fariz, Rhea and Umi Sarifah were thrilled to see Ustad Jaki now finding her life-sustainer.
The next day, the santri farewell event was held in the hall of Pondok Pesantren Al-Mukmin. All students participated in the event, both those who graduated and those who still studied at Pondok Pesantren Al-Mukmin.
According to the invitation given by Ustad Jaki to the Shinta family. At this time Shinta came to attend the event, but Papa and Mama Shinta could not attend because there were affairs outside the city that caused them to have to go out of town. Mama Shinta follows her husband to finish his work out of town.
As Ustad Jaki has not yet decided on the day to come to Shinta's house with her family, Papa and Mama Shinta immediately settle their affairs outside the city, so that when Ustad Jaki and his family came home, they could welcome him without any hindrance from their work.
"Shinta, come here," Rhea called Shinta by waving her hand towards Shinta to get closer to her.
"Sit here" Rhea patted the chair next to her.
The chair had been prepared by Ustad Jaki for Shinta to sit with her family.
"Not started the show yet?" shinta asked Rhea when she was sitting in the chair indicated by Rhea.
"Awhile more. You came alone?" Rhea circulated her gaze looking for the figures of the two old men Shinta had never met.
"Yes, Papa is equally sorry because they are having business out of town, so can not attend this event," Shinta conveyed an apology from both parents.
Rhea nodded her head and stopped her search.
"Where's Jaki's Ustad?" Shinta asked Rhea.
It just so happened that Rhea and Shinta were the same age, so they could be as close and familiar as a friend without using frills to call their names.
"That he was busy again," Rhea pointed with her index finger towards Ustad Jaki who was talking to Ustad Fariz next to the stage.
Shinta unconsciously smiled to see the appearance of Ustad Jaki who was very charming by wearing typical Muslim clothes that he had never seen before.
"Cieee sees the imam candidate" Rhea teases Shinta when she sees a smiling Shinta looking at Ustad Jaki.
Shinta was stunned and embarrassed to get led by Rhea. Immediately he neutralized his face and attitude so as not to be too obvious in front of Rhea.
"Ehemmm..," Shinta cleared her throat and smiled in response to Rhea's teasing.
"That's Ustadzah Farida isn't it?" shinta asked when she saw a woman approaching and spoke to Ustad Jaki.
"Let's go... Ustad Jaki is looking for dah's disease" Rhea chirped at Shinta's pointer to Ustad Jaki who was talking to Ustadzah Farida and Ustad Fariz next to the stage.
