2 Days passed, the dress that was made by the tailor was ready and had been taken. And on Wednesday morning, they're leaving. And tonight, Lina is so busy preparing clothes to wear tomorrow, because the plan is for the three of them to stay there for one week. Hopefully it doesn't bother Dinda.
And night, now it began to turn into dawn. The sun slowly revealed its bright rays, casting a yellow to orange color in the eastern sky.
At around 05:20 the three of them left the house. The plan was to go on Tuesday afternoon, but because Iqbal is still a lot of work then delayed to Wednesday morning.
About about ten hours drive, they finally arrived at about 14:48. Lina opened the window of her car. He was silent staring fixed pesantren which is still standing firmly. And do not forget also the pesantren gate that is so meaningful. How not? In the past, the four of them often impatiently waiting for the boarding gate to be opened by the security guard so that they can quickly unwind during school. Lina also had a memory where she stood please be with Syifa to the security guard to open the gate. At that time they came home almost maghrib, and it was all because of Syifa's silly behavior who wanted to make brownies for Reyhan.
Do you remember you guys? If any lina might forget about it. The car starts to walk in when the gate is wide open. Iqbal throws his big smile at the security guard, and don't forget to thank him. As for Lina, her heart was so bloated with pleasure. I want it to feel like he's jumping now, ah miss it.
"Udah down..." Said iqbal to make lina close the window of his car. He held the sleeping aluna in his lap and opened the car door and exited.
"Waaah O Allah...I can finally come back here again..." Lirih lina happy.
"Many things have changed Lin..." Sahut iqbal made his wife nod. "Yes, but no papa.the memories are still there even though a lot has changed."
"Hm...Yes, I'm in." Bring iqbal. The two of them walked down the vast pesantren courtyard. Ever since it never changed, the pesantren page is always grown with green trees that make cool eyes look. And, they were immediately presented by a tent tent that had begun to be built. Lina's pleasure piled back on seeing that.
The two of them stepped back into Abah's house. And Abah's house has not changed at all. Starting from the wall paint, the shape.all remains the same.
"Assynoltom..." Greetings Iqbal by standing in front of the open door.
"Assynoltom..." Now replace lina who says hello.
"Greetings waalaikum..." A woman with a green tunic and a plisket skirt matched with a wide black hijab walked out of the room to meet the guests. Dinda slowed her pace, though,
"Linaa..?!"
"Milmaaa...." Call lina lirih for fear of disturbing her daughter who is still asleep in her sling. After all, if he was yelling was also disrespectful. A lot of people here. Dinda directly attached her cheeks to the two cheeks of lina alternately. "How is Allah..." Ask dinda.
"Good God."
"Which is this?"
"Kid."
"Huh? Uda have kids anyway?"
Lina nodded. "Yes Alhamdulillah..."
"Din,," Call Iqbal.
Dinda turned her head and smiled by putting her hands together in front of her chest.
"This is my husband din, his name is Iqbal. Still snot, right?" Lina's law.
Dinda speechless.
"They're your future husband..."
"Oh, yes, brother iqbal."
"So Abah is there?" Ask iqbal.
"What's in the room, can I call you?"
"Just,,,"
"If so please sit down.eh lin, that's his son in bed first yes kasian."
"Where?" Ask lina.
"So soon, I'll call Abi first. I'll keep anterin."
Lina nodded.
"Come brother iqbal sit down first..." Dinda invited and immediately told Abah that there were guests coming. After she finished, she went back out and escorted Lina to a house just three meters from Abah's house. The house, usually used by guests who come to stay.
"This house is up when?" Ask lina. "Oh, this was about four years ago when it wasn't wrong." Answer dinda. "Oh yes lin, you are now talking about it with you..."
.
Lina smiled. "Oh yeah, I'm used to it. You see, since the same marriage mas iqbal, trying to be polite. Husband-wife calls him kayak temen, sayu-lo. It's not good either. Uh, it's a habit."
Dinda. "Eh, Syifa has come."
"Oh yeah?"
Dinda nodded by opening the door. "Assynoltom..." Greetings by entering the house.
First there is a small living room in front. Dinda walked further back. "This is lin, you want to go to any room.There are still four empty rooms because. And everything was clean, so just sleep..."
"Oh Allah, ngerepotin ya..."
"No. Later if it's not in cleanin, you're tired come far away it's not good." Said by opening the room door. "It's a pretty broad lin,, here would you?"
"Where you want, the important thing can be sleepin" replied Lina by entering and put aluna on the mattress.
Dinda smiled. "Our ten, beautiful...What is lin called?"
"Aluna."
"Oh aluna.beautiful."
"Yes, I'm going to Abah's house. Mau sowan's..."
"Yes yes please, I'm anter..."
•••••
As the time of Ashar has arrived, the Adhan begins to echo sounding. Abah and everyone stopped talking, picking up every melodious-sounding sentence. Abah had wanted to invite Iqbal to pray Ashar congregation, but he had been praying plural when at the mosque on the way this afternoon with lina.
Finally, the two of them returned to the house that was built specifically for the guests. And upon entering the living room, aluna's voice was heard crying. Then, the two of them quickly walked towards the room.
"Shyifa..." Call lina when you see Syifa there. He was trying to calm aluna down.
"Lin, this..."
Lina immediately walked over and carried aluna. Trying to calm his daughter. "This is lin let me just be fat." Saying iqbal makes Lina directly give up aluna in her husband's arms.
"Hssst baby, we go down the road with dad. Come out, will you??" Iqbal asked by stroking the soft back of aluna.
Aluna just nodded with still whining. Iqbal walked out making Syifa pull Lina's hand and hug her.
"Aaaa lin...gue kangeen!!" He hugged his best friend tightly.
"Mrsama..." Reply lina.
They let each other out hugs. "Alone fa?"
"Yes." Yeah."
Lina's smile faded. "Cocontainly alone? You, you're maxed out pregnant, aren't you?"
Syifa nodded.
"Yes. What if I'm pregnant?"
"Oh fa, it's not good. Especially Jakarta Semarang, go alone. Pregnant again, if there's anything at all?"
"Udah lin, don't worry. I survived here anyway. Good all right? Even though I'm alone, I can take care of myself..."
"But it's not good." Cut lina. "Where is your husband? How's it going in temenin?"
Syifa sighed softly by sitting on the bed. "Mas Reyhan is working."
"Ga can spare time for his wife?"
"Lin, Reyhan's a pilot. So he couldn't go home. He has his own schedule. You know how busy Reyhan is. Go home very rarely."
Lina remained silent. "Yes too..lo what was up? And what time is it here?"
"In anterin pak Sarif, he is the personal driver of my family. So if there is anything, of course Mr. Sarif will help me here. The sample here was more or less a clandestine hour." Syifa.
"Oh that..Other brother Reyhan plans to follow here also ga?"
Syifa pressed her shoulders. "No idea.but if you can't ya papa anyway. It can't be forced either."
"But Brother Reyhan knows you're here..."
"Yes know what lin is, I'm going where to get permission. He also has trust in Mr. Sarif so he can take care of me."
"Lo is also calm deh fa, I must take care of you." Lina. "How old is this, by the way? It was big. Just yesterday, I thought you said you were pregnant..."
"They are twins, so it's bigger. How many months is it. Four is like..."
"Oh yeah, you're not giving thanks dong."
"Yes, Reyhan happened to be home at the time."
"Eemm, congratulations again. Can't wait to see the twins. It must be funny."
"Yes and hopefully you'll be too pammy again. Aluna yes, have another sister." Reply Syifa.
"Aminin deh." Lina replied with a wide grin.
"Eh lin, guess when did Aisyah come here? I can't wait to see him. I haven't seen for a long time, where I don't have the number anymore. As soon as I did, I was curious. Has he changed anything? After all, the four-year period never met at all. It's called torture, miss me...And you're the same when you don't have her number. I was more confused and..."
"Hhhhhhhhhh!!" Lina brought her index finger closer to the lips of Syifa. "Udah began, it has started to come out again your chatty soul."
"Well, how else lin, you know me. If the chatter was stuck in my soul would be difficult lhah in ilangin. I'm also the guy can't diem bae, I can't be calm and..."
"Yes yes. Your mouth will be tired. After all, Aisyah will also be here. Yes, Dinda hath not broken us but Gagundang Aisha." Cut lina again.
"Lin, you can't cut my talk."
"Yes, nyerocos mulu."
Syifa was singing her lips. "Eh lin there's something I want to tell you..."
•••••
Semarang, Central Java
The wedding day is approaching, only tomorrow. And Syifa, Lina and Iqbal have also helped prepare since yesterday. Surprisingly, Syifa was alone here without Reyhan. And Aisha with her husband also did not come.
In the kitchen, Lina and Syifa are helping mothers prepare a cake that will be given tomorrow to the guests. There are layer cakes, princess ayu, and baked apem cakes. For Syifa this is so important that she can be more reliable in Cooking. Moreover, she had just learned to cook when she was going to be a wife.
When the two of them were busy, suddenly dinda came and told. "Aisha come!!"
Make lina and syifa stand up compact.
"Oh yeah?"
"Yes." Yeah."
"Well, where am I going to meet him?" Syifa asked impatiently. Dinda nodded by walking out of the kitchen. The three of them quickly walked towards the guest house.
"DANISHYAAAHH!!" Shouted Syifa pleasure by directly scattering towards the woman who had just come. Aisyah replied to him as well with a hug that was no less tight.
"Issh fa spare.ah" Pinta lina. Syifa immediately took off her embrace. Lina is hugging. "Where is she?"
"Alhamdulillah good..."
"Ih Ayesha Glow Up..." The syifa chirps made Aisyah chuckle and release her embrace from lina. "Where is your husband?"
"Outside, you meet my brother Iqbal."
"Ooh...Yeah, you helped us make a cake." Lina immediately patted Syifa on the back.
"The new wife is coming. I'm martyred, rest is sure you're tired."
"No papa, no need. I was from Demak."
"Oh not from Jakarta?" Ask lina.
"Not."
"Yes, I put the bag to the room first. I'll come with you guys to make some cake."
"okay." Reply syifa by giving her thumbs up.

20.55
"I'm who....." Calling fariz made Aisyah turn her head. Her husband immediately closed the door and approached her who was putting clothes in the small closet in the room. The three of them had already talked, and agreed to be here for a week. Although actually still very lacking, but they also certainly have to think about the busyness of the husbands.
Fariz immediately stopped right behind Aisyah and hugged her. "Mas, later if you see people..." Aisyah.
"The door is closed." Answer fariz relax.
"When someone opens? How's it?"
Fariz put his chin on his wife's shoulder. "You have always been ashamed of being invited
so sweet.not at home alone, at home in-laws, at home people..." Reply Fariz pouting. Aisyah simply replied with a smile. He then prepared his clothes as well as fariz clothes that will be used tomorrow for the wedding of his friend.
tok tok...
"Dear...!!"
Aisyah instantly let go of her husband's embrace. "Well, let's open the door first." His permission made Fariz sigh in annoyance.
Why yes if you want romantic romance there is a disruption. Just hugged for a moment, something was disturbing. It was always from marriage. Why the hell!?!! Inner fariz upset himself.
"I'm sorry, here's the blanket." Lina said when the door was opened. With a smile Aisyah received the blanket Lina thrust.
"There's no blanket, is there?" Ask lina.
"There's no lin, thank you..."
Lina nodded. "The same." He accidentally saw Fariz. "Ehm, did you bother??"
"No, people don't do anything."
"Oh yes if so, good rest.."
"Yes. Thanks again lin."
"He'em."
Lina immediately left and Aisyah closed the door again. "Mas, if you want to sleep now please. Here's the blanket..."
"When do you sleep?"
"Later on, I'm gonna finish my shirt for a second..."
"Well, I'll sleep later too." Reply Fariz lightly.
Aisyah simply nodded by putting a blanket on the bed and continued her work. "Why is that woman busy?? So if I'm here, what's the shah??"
"Yes already sleeping.Let's not tired tomorrow."
Hearing that Fariz pulled his wife's hand and took her to the bed. "Well, let's go to sleep."
"Well, it's not finished yet..."
"Can be continued tomorrow. I'm ah honey don't do much work, now sleep."
"But..."
"The wife of Sholehah is the wife who listens to what the husband says. Really right?"
Aisyah immediately fell silent.
"Yes, if so, take ablution first, read Surah Al Mulk just slept." Aisyah's reply made fariz nod in agreement.
Has told us the Shubah, from Qatadah, from Abbas Al-Jusyami, from Abu Hurairah, from the Prophet Muhammad, who has said:“Inna suurotan fil quraani tsalatsiina aayatan syafa’at lishohibiha hatta ghufirolahu. Tabaarokalladzii biyadihil mulku”
It means: Indeed in the Quran there is a letter containing thirty verses that can intercede for the reader until he gets forgiveness, namely Tabarakal Lazi Biyadihil Mulku (letter of Al-Mulk).

In the silence of the night Syifa awoke. He blinked his eyes a few times and rubbed them. The bright lights of the room made itself a little glare. He was speechless in wonder, wasn't it just before going to bed that Syifa had turned off the lights? Then who turned it on?
Syifa changed her lying position to sit. He rubbed his eyes when he saw Reyhan who was there. Sitting on a prayer mat with your hands up while praying. "Mas Reyhan? When did he come here?" Syifa Gumam. He actually wanted to ask, but it was impolite to ask the person who was praying.
Slowly the syifa got out of the bed and stepped out to take ablution. After finishing and returning to the room, he immediately put on a mukena, held a prayer rug behind Reyhan and began to perform Tahajud prayers. Meanwhile Reyhan with still accompanied by fatigue that there he took the time to read the Qur'an for a while.
Finished reading, Reyhan stood up to fold the prayer mat. He took off the peci and put it on the bed, his gaze fixed on the late shifa.
"Assalamualaikum..."
"Assalamualaikum..." When the second greeting was over, Syifa prayed for a while and approached reyhan. "When will you take mas?"
"Jam one..."
Syifa raised both eyebrows. "Keep not sleeping?"
"God, just a second..."
"Oh, yes, you are sleeping again. Don't get tired."
Reyhan nodded with a murmur.
"Continue, departing from Jakarta at what time?"
"Just maghrib."
"Ooh.yes, I've just taken a break. Or want syifa make a drink what is anget."
"Ga. It is precisely you who do not get tired." Reply Reyhan. "His condition must be guarded."
"Yes..." Syifa. "Ih mas, rehearsal for calling me-you. But I, her husband, called them me-you. Masa mas call me-lo, kayak talk the same! If you need practice call dear, or ayang, or beby, or ayang beb.gitu kek will be more romantic. Nyenengin Syifa is also the same as our son..." The cerocos.
"Yes fa,,,"
"Don't just yes mulu, as often as possible in the show that lhoh!" Syifa moved her lips.
"Lo rambling?"
"That's right!! Just been told.."
"Yes sorry.....Honey,," said Reyhan. "Still craving?"
"No!"
"But why frown?"
Syifa was getting irritated. "Mas from the past yes, yes, never sensitive. Try trying to make a girl. Dikiiiit..!"
"How?"
Syifa sat down followed by reyhan. "Easy way. Wanna know?"
"Yes." Yeah."
"If a woman says yes, it means no, and if a woman says it doesn't mean yes. That's an important dictionary a husband should understand." Answer syifa. "And if a woman answers yes, it doesn't mean no, it probably does. If you say no, it doesn't mean yes, which means probably not. Sometimes it can be no, if not the same. I can't, but sometimes. And this other one is very important, if the woman in question answers ga papa. It means what's going on."
Reyhan only fell silent, his mind instantly dodged. "Complicated it?"
"Ih, easy to know. That's not complicated. That's just a partial dictionary of women." Answer Syifa. "The bottom line is, the woman wants more attention. Eating the mas if asked Syifa, the answer is not hem doang, effective nyuekin tau ga?!"
"And surely in the female dictionary there is a sentence,,, women are always right?!" Reyhan.
"It is true. Yes, although not everything that is done by real women, but the man must give up. Everything a woman says, yes. Understand right?"
Reyhan immediately scratched his forehead. Baffled. Everything that Syifa said, he did not understand. It even seems like a women's dictionary is more difficult than a dictionary that contains mathematical formula formulas.
