Married to Ustaz

Chapter 17: The Reliable Thief

Cika ran into the princess' romance, wiping her tears that just kept falling on her cheeks. He sat his body on the side of the bed.

Novi and Dinda who saw the sad face of Cika along with pity, they both sat next to his best friend.

"Ustaz Hafid punish you again, Cika?" ask Novi curiously.

"If there is any story with us, Cika," Pinta Dinda.

Cika tried to smile thinly to make sure that she was okay. "I'm okay, I just want to rest. Capek, Vi, Din," he said, he immediately laid his body on the soft mattress.

"We don't believe it! It seems you are hiding something from us!" Novi pulls up Cika's blanket, he believes something is wrong with Cika. Feeling Novi, his best friend is lying.

"We're Cika's best friends, tell us dong. We're good at keeping secrets." Dinda pulled Cika's blanket.

"Please, I want to sleep Vi, Din. I'm not in the mood to talk!" firmly, then choose to sleep behind his two best friends. Enough of him and God knows what he's going through right now. He did not want to make Novi and Dinda sad too.

Novi and Dinda embrace Cika's sleeping body. "We don't know what problems you're going through right now, but you have to keep Cika's spirit. Life is indeed full of tests," said Novi smart-ass.

"What you are experiencing now must have a silver lining. Always think positively with God's plan. Remember, yes, God will not test his creatures beyond his means, Cika." Dinda is no less smart, he issued words of motivation for Cika.

Cika put away her blanket, inched back to sit. He returned the arms of his two best friends.

"You guys are the best, thank you, yeah. More dear."

"We are too."

The three girls embraced warmly, it was beautiful not to have a friend who was always there in a state of joy or sorrow?

...***...

In the morning, Cika spent more time in the dorm. Even he today chose not to enter the class, with the reason of illness when it was just a delusion because he did not want to meet or cross paths with Ustaz Hafid for a while.

"Aren't you afraid of getting scolded for following me?" tanya Cika looked one by one towards Novi and Dinda. He still doesn't think it out.

"Once in a while, it's okay" replied Novi casually, removing her headscarf.

"If I follow along too, hehehe," said Dinda cengengesan.

"Alright, I'm bored in the dorms all the time. What do we do, huh, mumpung deserted gini?" ask Cika for an opinion.

"Guyejak, how?" proposal Novi.

"I want to, but there are no mangoes, Vi," replied Cika.

"Relax, behind the musala, the mango tree bears fruit."

Hearing that, Cika smiled enthusiastically.

"We help?" Dinda who had been silent listening, chimed in.

"I don't want to come! You go there" said Dinda shaking her head. "Don't add sins ...."

"Don't talk now, Din!" cika and Novi said at the same time.

"Alright, remember, yeah, I'm just following along!"

"Yep, Vi! Action time!" Cika said spirit. He continued, "Din, you make his condiments."

Cika and Novi passed away.

"Retreat, retreat there Ustazah Laili passing by!" cika said more to an instruction to Novi. After feeling safe, he gave the code to walk back. The two of them bowed their bodies, walking slowly through each class.

"Akh, Vi! Many people in musala, how is this?" tanya Cika stopped her steps right at the end of the class side by side with the musala.

"Break it."

"You want to get caught in the CTF? If I'm mah, ogah!" said Cika ketus, not out of thought with Novi mindset.

"Yes, wait a minute, because the dhuha circumcision prayer time is running out."

"okay."

Five minutes, ten minutes and thirty minutes passed, only the activity in the musala stopped and was quiet.

"Now, Vi!" After making sure the situation was safely under control Cika immediately ran as fast as lightning followed by Novi behind him. It did not take long he and Novi were standing right in front of a mango tree that had very fruitful.

"How much are we picking?" asked Cika, her hand had been stroking the mango fruit which was quite easy to reach. "What five?" tanyanya once again asked for Novi's approval.

"Most of it, Cika."

"Nothing, we will share it with other friends, too," replied Cika, and immediately picked the mango very quickly.

"You seem to be an expert at this, you're used to helping the neighbor mango?"

Cika laughed softly, and replied, "Yeah, it's often time to go home from school. It's really exciting, Vi."

"Haha." Novi laughed. "I'm new this time, so a little scared."

"It's like that for beginners" replied Cika. He handed some mangoes into Novi's hands. "Now we're back, before anyone," he said.

"Vi, you go first. I peed, no." Without hearing Novi's answer, he immediately ran to the bathroom in the musala.

Cika came out and her eyes immediately glared when she found Ustaz Hafid already standing firmly on the bathroom door. She's shocked. Immediately he hid the picked mango behind his back. Pretending not to see the figure before him, he walked slowly, but the man in front of him had already first restrained his arm.

"A reliable thief," said Ustaz Hafid right in his ear, sounding so piercing. After that the guy with the sneak pecker just left without saying anything more.

Cika bit her lower lip. He was terrified to see the attitude of Ustaz Hafid is not as usual. A few seconds later, he smiled bitterly. "Ustaz Hafid might actually agree to divorce me, so he doesn't care anymore" he said with a tight chest. He immediately ran before being caught with others.
