The students were surprised to see Iqlima suddenly reappear in the dormitory. Ever since the woman was rumored to have been Yahya's wife, they never again saw her likeness.
"Sorry, is this room still empty? " Tanya Iqlima when he came to the room he had once occupied. Iqlima tried to cover his face with glasses.
"Huh? " They were astonished by showing a tense face and left without answering. One of them could only shake. Iqlima. He immediately stepped in without regard for the cynical views of the santriwati. Iqlima is completely exhausted. His energy is drained. His mind was still muddled because of the incident at the Zakaria hajj residence earlier.
Tok Tok Tok Tok Tok Tok Tok
Brakkk
Senior Santriwati forcibly opened the room door. Iqlima who had just melted his eyes woke up again.
"What's this about? Why occupy this room?! " Tow it with the index finger.
"Hm.. What's wrong, huh? This bed is empty. This is my room first too. I'm sorry, I want to rest" Sahut Iqlima was about to return to his body.
"What's? Hey, don't mind your wife Gus Yahya and then you can do as good as you can! After all, you're just a second wife and just another household troublemaker! " The eyes of Iqlima were wide open to hear these words. Glaring with eyes, Iqlima walked towards him. The surprised senior Santriwati retreated backwards until now their position was outside the room.
Curiosity will ruckus bring the other santriwati come to flock to watch. They started whispering. Honestly, the negative news about Iqlima that has been circulating and blowing fast in the boarding school environment makes them hate it.
"So what you say! You're a santri, you shouldn't have your mouth so sassy! " Said Iqlima furious.
Huuuuuu~ Sorakan santriwati for Iqlima make senior santriwati confidence increase.
"You're just a household bully. A destroyer! Don't expect you to be glorified by the whole boarding school! You're nothing more than an actor! "
Plakkkk
A loud slap landed onto the face of the senior santriwati. Their attention all turned to the slapping figure.
"Excess!! Luna, you've been kicked out of this Ma'had Bustanul Jannah! "
Sri Mama? Iqlima. Senior Santriwati held her reddened face. His teary eyes held back shame and anger.
"In this Ma'had you should be able to maintain your attitude! Don't you know who this lady is? Well I introduce! He is Ning Iqlima. The legitimate wife of Gus Yahya, lord of us all! I hope this kind of thing doesn't happen to anyone again! If anyone is rude or does not know the manners of Gus' wife, then surely you will get the consequences! Do you all understand?! " Sri shouted loudly.
"understand..." Sahut santriwati. Although the look on their faces seemed unhappy, the santriwati had to respect what Sri said.
"Oh yes, miss. Let me take the lady to the room! For the next lady will occupy the family room"
Huh. Ummi Hajjah believed her to be the chief nanny, but the more here she got there. He acted as if he was the head of this Ma'had! It is as if I decided! Pick up one of the students before they broke up the line.
"Mr... How about... " Iqlima opens talks.
"There's nothing to worry about, Miss! Luna should have been expelled because of her brazen attitude towards the chief's wife!" Sri said undaunted.
"But I... But I'm actually nobody here. I'm afraid Sri will get into trouble" Lirih Iqlima. Sri shakes.
"Luna has gone too far. If left unchecked, the santriwati will run rampant. God willing, everything will be fine. Miss don't worry. Better now miss rest. Miss must be very tired. I've ordered Rina to clean this room. For the next year, Miss will occupy this room!"
"Thank you Sri! " Iqlima said. Sri gave her smile.
"I'll excuse you! " Sri Pamit. He who understands the various problems Iqlima faces can only stroke the chest.

"Would this work? " Task Dara to Ilyas while whispering. Ilyas parked their car not far from Bustanul Jannah.
"I entrust it to you, Dara! Persuade Iqlima that he will come with you! There is no point in him staying with Yahya. He will only punish himself! " Tuke Ilyas. Dara nodded. Ilyas' words convinced him that the plan to take Iqlima away would work. Moreover, he had asked one of the santriwati who passed by that Iqlima had been placed in the pesantren.
Dara opened the car door. Looking to the right and left, the woman slowly entered the dormitory building.
"Assalamu'alaikum, sorry brother... I didn't see the security guard at the gate. I want to see Iqlima" Dara said. The face of the santriwati being asked turned unfriendly.
"I don't know where the lady is! " His heart was quick and walked away. Dara shook her head. He turned back to the gate waiting for the security guard.
"What are you doing here? "
Huh huh? Dara shocked. An unfamiliar voice sounded in the ears.
"Yeah? "
"What are you doing here?! " Task Yahya in a higher voice.
"A.. L'm... " Yahya Menssekapkan hands waiting for the sentence that Dara will continue.
"I... I plan to apply to be an ustadzah here" Yahya frowned.
Duh.
"Don't lie! "
"I'm not lying"
"Your Background is not a teacher! You won't be welcome here! " Thus Yahya as he passed away.
"Well, where are you going? "
"Why are you turning around? Don't you want to see Iqlima? "
Yahya's footsteps stopped.
"Well, I know you're still mad at me for what happened in our past.... "
"I don't have time to talk to you! Go!" Cut Yahya.
"I'm going to go. But answer... Have you forgiven me? "
"I've forgiven you! " Answer replied Yahya quickly. His eyes stole a glance towards the dormitory santriwati who was blocked by the wall.
"I'll call Iqlima for you"
Yahla. You're still as adorable as ever. If that day had never happened. Surely you will fight for me until we get married...
"I don't know exactly what mission brought you here. But you better get going! " Take Yahya again.
Sreeggs
A guard opened the gate wider.
Gus? He was surprised that Yahya was already standing there.
"Can I help you, Gus? " Tell the gatekeeper. He took a glance at Dara.
"Why is this gate no one is guarding? "
"Sorry Gus, I have to go to the bathroom. Mr. Dzul is sick again" Lighted the guard. Yahya.
"I'm going to the dormitory section! "
"What's up, Gus? Ma's.. I mean... Sorry, miss Iqlima is not in this boarding school. He came out because there was a meeting with someone outside! "
"What??! A meeting? With who?!" Yahya was really surprised.
Ha's? Iqlima meeting outside and Yahya does not know? Has Iqlima been taken by Ilyas?
"I don't know Gus! "
With a quick movement Yahya took a mobile phone call Iqlima. His wife's phone is inactive.
...****************...
In a different place, Iqlima hesitantly walked into a cafe. The atmosphere looks lonely. There were only two three couples sitting spread out.
Slowly Iqlima circulated his views more widely. The person he wanted to meet was already there. The figure who 1 hour ago asked to see him.
In the corner of the room close to the window, a place that is considered more privacy. A handsome and charismatic mature man in glasses was sitting reading a newspaper. The man turned his page. It was obvious that he was waiting for someone.
With a still doubtful feeling and heart racing, Iqlima slowly walked over. He tried not to let his feet be heard. But only two steps Iqlima walking, the man was already aware of his arrival. With a fluffy smile, he called Iqlima so as not to hesitate to get closer.
"Assalamu'alaikum Abah's... " Sapa Iqlima is down.
"Waalaikumsalam, sit down my daughter! " Sahut Haji Zakaria. The warm welcome made Iqlima dare to slightly raise his head. He immediately took his place.
A waiter deftly came over and thrust out a menu list. But Iqlima was silent. Haji Zakaria himself had spent a quarter of his drink while waiting for Iqlima.
"Serve the best menu here!" Hajj Zakaria without a stale word.
"Okay sir! " Waiters's law passed away.
"Sorry to interrupt your time! " Haji Zakaria opened the conversation. Iqlima didn't know what to say. It's really very sad.
"How was your first day back at the boarding school?"
"Alhamdulillah there are no bah obstacles"
"Alhamdulillah... But honestly, kid, you saw you running and crying"
Deg.
Iqlima's heart was beating again. Now he is really embarrassed.
"It looks like you lived a hard life during the marriage "Lirih Haji Zakaria coincided with the waiters coming while carrying food trays. Iqlima's eyes glazed over.
"Eat, you haven't eaten at all! Come on, boy, don't hesitate. Hope the food is suitable! " Haji Zakaria said scooping the food and putting it on the plate of Iqlima.
"By... How do you know Iqlima hasn't eaten yet? "
"From your gestures! " Sahut Haji Zakaria smiled. Iqlima started eating his food. Haji Zakaria scoops the food and puts it back on Iqlima's plate. The treatment of Hajj Zakaria made the girl enjoy her food. The awkwardness slowly disappeared. Mood melts. They also began to talk lightly until the conversation returned to the topic before him.
"Son, there is nothing you can do for your household and Yahya. But abah promised to advise abah's son so that he could be more mature" said Hajj Zakaria. Iqlima sontak.
"I'm sorry if you said this.. Abah hope you're not offended. Did marrying Yahya's son make you suffer so much? Like I said, you have a very hard day after marriage! "
The mood was silent for a moment. Iqlima started shedding tears.
"Honestly, being the wife of bang Yahya is a great gift to Iqlima, Bah..."
"Ma... Sorry..." Iqlima took tissue because the tears had fallen. Haji Zakaria could see genuine love and kindness towards the daughter-in-law before him. Not only that, behind the sincere love, Haji Zakaria could see how Iqlima experienced great inner pressure and Iqlima tried to hide it.
"Son, you can't help or interfere in your household. But know... That in the residence of Bustanul Jannah, there is still a brother there. You can contact me anytime if you need anything or need help! Never be afraid..." Haji Zakaria said sincerely.
Tests.
Like a drop of dew perched in his heart, the words of Haji Zakaria were so soothing.
"Bah, the late father of Iqlima was an oddball worker. He usually often went out of the village or city for months to work hard to make a living. Our time together was very short. There are so many memories that Iqlima cannot remember because when the father was called by the Powerful One, the age of Iqlima was still very small... "
"Well, Iqlima used to wonder to grandfather, do you look like him? Do you love Iqlima? How is that father? "
"Grandfather replied Your father is a simple figure. Even so, he is a very loving person. He is very generous, loves his wife and daughter very much. Always soft and never rough"
"Bah, now Iqlima is no longer curious about the figure of a father. Because when I see Abah, Iqlima is like seeing Dad" said Iqlima. She wiped her tears that could not be held back. Hajj Zakaria's eyes were glazed over.
"Son, know.. Your father must have been a great man. Because she has a daughter like you. The tough and sincere-hearted daughter of shaliha. Yesterday, today and tomorrow... You are abah's daughter. It will forever be! " Haji Zakaria. He got up from his seat and grabbed Iqlima and rubbed his head affectionately.
Abah~
