Love In Pesantren's

Struggle

Counting ten days already, Haqi had not met Hulliyah.

A miss?

Of course longing, let alone newlyweds who should always be together enjoying the opium of love, now separated it feels empty. But of course that goes for a normal couple. Unlike Hulliyah and Haqi who married impromptu.

Love opium?

Ahayyy.

That afternoon Haqi appeared to be in Pesantren, talking with Mama Haji about the government program, which is a clean water facility that will be centered in the Pesantren neighborhood and surrounding areas.

Haqi looked serious about his work. Oh yes, in addition to being a teacher Haqi is also an environmental activist in a government institution. Therefore, Haqi had always been busy working in the field like this.

"So, later we'll make a well drill around here Ma."

Haqi spoke of a plan that would be carried out in the near future.

"Maybe, origin doesn't have a bad impact on the people around here."

"Of course not, it will be very profitable for the community. I guarantee you." said Haqi.

They finally agreed.

-------------

As Haqi was wearing his shoes preparing to go home, Mama Haji suddenly spoke.

"Son Haqi, what is true that I heard about Hulliyah?"

Haqi stopped the movement of his hand, then turned to face Mama Haji.

"If what you heard I was Sypa's husband, it's true."

Mom Haji watched Haqi for a moment.

"What's really going on? Mama was not present at that time," said Mama Haji.

"Small incident Ma ...."

Haqi also recounted the incident that required him to marry Hulliyah.

Now Haqi with Mama Haji is back in the chair.

Mama Haji looks sympathetic after hearing Haqi's story.

"I came back here even busy working, Father-in-law must have taken me not seriously with my words."

Haqi smiled smirkingly.

"Then when are you going to pick up your parents" asked Mama.

"I don't know yet Ma, my job doesn't allow to be left."

"Then did Hulliyah allow you to stay?"

Eh the heartbreaking question from Mama made Haqi shut up for a while.

"You have no pity on Hulliyah who awaits your coming to pick him up?" continue Mama.

"But my job really can't be left behind Ma. I should what?"

Haqi was confused.

"Take Hulliyah here!"

Mama said with a firm tone.

"I've tried asking Sypa to come with me, but you won't let me."

Mama seemed to be breathing heavily.

"At least you're trying, son, pity Hulliyah. Keep praying that Alloh SWT soften the heart of your Father-in-law.

"Yes Ma" Haqi replied weakly. His mind became raging between longing and incompetence.

----------------

After returning from the Haqi Pesantren took the time to go to the house of Ustadz Zamzam.

It just so happened that today Ustadz Zamzam took a teaching holiday to allow Haqi to meet him at home.

Sure enough, when Haqi came Ustadz Zamzam was at home playing with Zamima.

"So, how's your plan?"

A moment after they sat down with them they started chatting about Hulliyah.

Duh Hulli must have hot ears nih ponggain from earlier kkkkkk.

"I'm confused Stadz, I don't feel sorry for the Sypa because it depends on our status. But circumstances are not possible. My parents are busy with their work."

"Well, then wait until it's possible."

"But Stadz, what about the Sypa?"

Ustadz Zamzam chuckled then spoke, "Hulli sii seems to relax, just here I think what are you? Do you miss your wife? You finally understand how a husband dances."

Back Ustadz Zamzam chuckled, this time even harder to see the expression of his best friend who was riled up.

"You're right Stadz, I have to pick up Sypa. Anyway she's my wife now."

Finally, the decision taken by Haqi was to return to Hulliyah's hometown. Haqi was determined to take Hulliyah away with him, at any cost.

---------------

Haqi arrived at Hulliyah's house after Isya.

Now Haqi is waiting for his father-in-law who still has not returned from the mosque. Haqi sat in the living room accompanied by a shy-looking Hulliyah facing her husband.

"Sypa's fine, isn't it during my stay?"

Haqi watched Hulliyah who looked down on the chair in front of him.

"Good Brother."

Hulliyah still looked down as if she did not dare to look at Haqi's face.

Bride shy.

"I'm sorry I just came, my job was stacked up yesterday. Em ... Sypa will come with me?"

Haqi asked doubtfully.

"Are I supposed to come with my sister?"

Like an electric shock suddenly hitting his body, Hulliyah's words just now were so powerful to Haqi.

"Thank you, I'll fight for us."

Aww, Bang Haqi is so sweet.

Their conversation stopped when the ruler of the house came home.

Yes, Hulliyah's father came with a face that was still unfriendly, then told Hulliyah to go into the room.

"I told you, you don't come here except with your parents!"

Hulliyah's father was still haughty.

"For the near future I can't sir, my job ...."

"That's why! A teacher? Is it as busy as that? If Beni I believe, he's a cop. But he's stuck coming home even with his new wife."

There was a resentful tone in every word Hulliyah's father put out.

Upset with Beni but angry with Haqi?

"Sorry Sir."

Haqi was truly unable to speak any more words other than sorry.

"Now what do you want to come here?"

Hulliyah's father's gaze seemed to grip Haqi's face.

"I want to bring Sypa sir."

"Just you, do you think I'll just give my son away? Just because you married her beteliously, don't expect you to bring Hulliyah. My wish is simple, bring your parents to marry Hulliyah officially. It's so hard, how can I trust you!"

Haqi realized that Hulliyah's father's words had a point. Only he has to prove his promise. But why it felt so difficult, his desire faltered his inability to control the situation.

"Why is this father preventing Lia from being happy?"

Mom walked from the kitchen, actually, I can't stand talking since the conversation started.

"Oh Well, let Nak Haqi bring Lia."

Dad looked at mom fiercely.

"Mother want Hulliyah to take this man without an official marriage? Then what if this man impregnates Hulliyah?"

She held a smile because of her husband's words.

"Why is Hulliyah pregnant? There is a husband."

Dad returns angrily, "yes, I don't want Hulli stuck in this obscure relationship."

"It's not clear how? Their religion is legitimate. Hulliyah is obligated to serve her husband, Dad already has no rights here let alone forbid like this."

Father was silent for a moment, father permeated his wife's words.

"All right, I'll allow it."

Haqi raised his head until now looking at the two in-laws.
