Love Son Santri

episode 36

Laksmi was packing the things he would bring to the boarding school, he was carrying quite a lot of things, because maybe he would stay there for a long time.

Tokk..

"Assalamualaikum" a man's voice came from outside his house.

"Waalaikumsalam" bi Mirna ran over and opened the door.

Apparently it was Rizal, Rizal accidentally came because he told Mirna that Laksmi would go to the boarding school today.

"Eh.. Rizal, come on in, you really don't want to lose your chance huh?" bi Mirna smiled.

Rizal just smiled shyly at bi Mirna's words.

"Who's mom?" suddenly Adi's uncle came.

"Eh. uncle" Rizal approached Adi's uncle and kissed the back of his hand.

Adi's uncle received a greeting from Rizal, though his heart wondered "Would this young man come this early?".

"Let's sit down" said bi Mirna.

Bi Mirna then went to the kitchen and made a drink for Rizal.

"So soon, son, I live first" Adi's uncle told Rizal, who was sitting in the living room.

"Oh yes uncle, please" replied Rizal.

Uncle Adi followed bi Mirna to the kitchen, where he saw bi Mirna boiling hot water to be used to make tea.

"Mom, what did that man want to come here? still early in the morning, is the mother among the same strands?" ask uncle Adi.

"Father, yesterday's groceries are still a lot, why go to the market again" replied bi Mirna while stirring tea.

"Then, what's he here for?"

"He used to love Laksmi, and now he's asking mom to make him close again to Laksmi"

"Masya Allah.!!", Adi's uncle was surprised "For what mother, I will know that Laksmi is engaged to Moses"

"Oh sir, Moses forgot such a memory, Moses only remembered his wife, for what was preserved"

"Yes you know, but this is not true ma'am, doctor Fahri said, surely Moses will be healed"

"When the heal sir, Kasian Laksmi is old enough not to get married, already father do not interfere, this is the business of mother" bi Mirna came out of the kitchen and left uncle Adi.

"Astagfirullah, what demon possessed you ma'am, why did your attitude change like this" muttered Adi's uncle.

After finishing packing, Laksmi came out of her room and Laksmi was surprised to see Rizal who was inside her house.

"Mas Rizal, what are you doing here?"

"Laksmi, I heard you're going to the boarding school, if I may want to take you"

"Hm.. No need Mas, Uncle Adi will drive me"

"Don't refuse Laksmi's sustenance, it's not good", bi Mirna suddenly came over while putting a tray of tea and small food on the table, "Just go with Nak Rizal, please, your uncle also had a sudden stomach ache, so couldn't get you"

Uncle Adi came from the direction of the kitchen, Laksmi directly approached him.

"Uncle sick? Why didn't you say? Uncle's taking medicine?" ask Laksmi.

"illness?" uncle Adi looks confused.

"Yes, you are sick, you have gone back and forth three times to the bathroom" said bi Mirna.

"I-iya, uncle has a stomachache" replied uncle Adi stammering.

"Tuh, listen, let Rizal drive you"

"All right"

After a few minutes, Laksmi said goodbye to her uncle and aunt, this time Rizal deliberately came by car to be able to bring Laksmi's belongings.

Laksmi got into Rizal's car, Rizal was sitting in the steering wheel, his face looks happy because he can get back close to the woman of his tribe.

While Moses, who was in his house, could only rest, he could not do his usual activities because his mother forbade him.

Seeing his mother in the courtyard, Moses approached her.

"You don't see, I'm watering the plants"

"Hm.. Oh yeah, did Laksmi really go to pesantren bu?" ask Moses.

"Yes, didn't I tell you yesterday"

"Why did he have the heart to leave his son alone" Moses saw Ilyas playing in the courtyard.

"Why? Ilyas still has us, right?" his mother looked at Moses.

"But we're nobody to Ilyas ma'am?"

Moses' mother was shocked to hear Moses saying, in her heart she felt so sad that when Moses would forget his own son.

"Mom, Mr. Fadlan called" bi Tuti came and called Moses' mother.

"Oh yes for a moment, bi, please continue watering the flowers yes" Moses' mother handed the sprinkler to bi Tuti, and went to see her husband.

"Na. na. na.." bi Tuti sings without lyrics.

"Bi Tuti sounds good" said Moses who was still in the yard.

"Eh.. Den Moses could have been"

"Bi, how long have you been working here?" ask Moses.

"Then invite the new mother and father to be newlyweds" bi Tuti replied.

"Hmm.. Then, bi Tuti must know all the events in this house?"

"Yes of course Den"

"Can I ask you a question?"

"Of course Den, if aunt knows for sure aunt answers"

"When did I marry Farida?"

"About three years ago"

"Lumayan lama bi, do I and Farida have children?"

"Already, Den Ilyas was the son of Den Musa and Neng Farida" bi Tuti answered all Moses' questions with ceplas ceplos.

"My son?", Moses was surprised by bi Tuti's answer and began to ask again about other things "Then, where is Farida now?"

"Neng Farida died giving birth to Den Ilyas"

Bi Tuti widened his eyes, only to realize that he had just told all the things that Moses' parents had forbidden, because they were worried that Moses knew, he will definitely think hard to remember his past and could be at risk to his brain.

"What?!!" Moses surprised.

"Ouch... How is this" bi Tuti felt terrified.

"Is it true that Ilyas was my son and Farida?" Moses asked again, while bi Tuti was silent.

"Answer bi!" Moses forced a little.

"Geez, I forgot that when I was cooking water, I left first" bi Tuti switched the conversation and left Moses.

Moses just stared at the departure of bi Tuti, in his heart still feeling confused, his brain began to think hard trying to remember about his past.

"Ilyas, my son?" Moses looked at Ilyas who was still playing.

"Then, who's Laksmi? why does Ilyas call her Mama? am I married to Laksmi?"

Moses continued to think, to make his head hurt, Moses continued to hold his head and walked limped away from the yard.

Suddenly his body felt weak, Moses fell unconscious, Ilyas who saw it immediately ran in and called his grandparents.

"Grandfather, grandmother, father fell" said the little boy.

"What's? Where's darling?" moses was surprised.

Ilyas ran back towards the courtyard, Moses' parents following him from behind. They were surprised why this happened.
