Meet a Mate in Pesantren

Chapter 175

"Honey you choose fruits yes, let me choose vegetables, let me finish shopping" Syifa told Her Husband.

Bani is used to helping Syifa in terms of shopping, so choosing fruits is an easy thing for Bani.

"Yes, my dear" said Bani.

Syifa chose various types of vegetables that will be bought.but when being cool in choosing vegetables to be purchased, suddenly there was someone who reprimanded Syifa.

"This is Syifa yes, his wife Bani" reprimanded a woman, making Syifa turn towards the woman, seeing her face like a stranger to Syifa, but she did not recognize the figure of the woman.

It seems I've met him but where is Syifa's inner self.

"Alhamdulilah yes, we can meet again" said the woman, but Syifa still silently did not respond.

"It's me Ratna, his wife eh wrong exactly his ex-wife Malik" said the woman who claimed to be named Ratna. "This is Syifa, right ?" keep Ratna.

"God willing, I'm sorry that I really don't recognize mba" Syifa said.

"It's okay - what "sahut Ratna.

Syifa actually did not recognize Ratna who used to come to the house, because her appearance was very much different, the time came to Ratna's house still using open clothes, and the time was very different, but now she wears a covered dress even Ratna also wears a hijab.

"How are you doing, Ma'am ?" ask Syifa base - stale.

"Thank you, how are you ? looks like she's pregnant, huh ?".

"Good thanks also, yes it has been five months" Syifa explained, stroking her stomach.

"Congratulations, oh yes how is your husband ?".

"Good thanks also mbak".

Bani had just picked up fruit as ordered by his wife, but just wanted to go to his wife, Bani saw his wife was talking to someone.

"Honey, the fruits are already" said Bani.

"Eh yes dear" said Syifa. "Bang, this is Ratna" Syifa said.

"Ratna ?" Bani remembers who Ratna is.

"Yes Mr. Ratna, Malik's wife" Syifa said.

"Astagfirullah, I'm sorry I barely recognized you, your appearance is very different" said Bani. "How are you doing, and so is Malik ?" ask Bani.

"Thank you I am good, Bani.ku and Mas Malik have divorced so I do not know exactly the situation, according to his family he had several times tried to run away but found out" explained Ratna.

"Astaghfirullah, I'm sorry I don't know if you're separated.

"There's no time, how about we chat first while eating ?".

"By" sahut Ratna.

Because the shopping is done, Syifa and Bani queue at the cashier to pay for their groceries, as well as Ratna who lined up to pay for her groceries.

"You've been divorced from Malik for a long time ?" ask Bani.

"Since the sentencing decision for Mas Malik was decided, maybe people will think if I do not know myself because I filed for divorce when my husband was in trouble. but actually this plan was there before he was caught, but he refused to divorce and even threatened to separate me and my son" explained Ratna with a very sad face.

"I'm sorry if my husband's question makes me sad again" Syifa said.

"No matter what, Bani and I used to be good friends, so it's natural that Bani asked like that because Bani is one of the people who witnessed the love story of me and Mas Malik".

"Where do you live now ?" ask Bani again.

"Now that I'm not with my parents out of town, I can't keep living in the old house, because a lot of people think I'm just like my husband, though in fact I do not know what - what, I think moving is the best way for the growth and development of my child" explained Ratna.

Since the news of Malik's arrest, the, Ratna became the subject of warm gossip by his neighbors even many of them who advised Ratna to move from there because they did not want any of their citizens to deal with the prohibited goods.

"Now I also open an online sales business to meet the needs of me and my son" explained Ratna.

"What purpose do you have in this city ?" ask Bani.

"I came to this city to visit his mother Mas Malik who had been four days lying in the hospital, since Mas Malik in the mother's detention often sick" explained Ratna.

"Hmm, it's so hot" muttered Syifa slowly.

Their food was on the dinner table. "We eat first, later we continue the story again" said Syifa.they also eat their own food.

"Oh yes thank you for your help, I was able to open an online sales business, so the money that I intend to give to you as a form of compensation but you returned it, instead, then I use it for capital". Ratna said when they had finished eating

"Thank God, if the money can be useful" said Syifa happy.

"You are indeed good people, so I am ashamed to meet you especially if I remember how evil my ex-husband was to you.

"It does not need to be revealed anymore, after all, now you have a new life, hopefully you can be happy with the current life" Syifa said. But suddenly Ratna's phone rang a sign that she got a call.

"I'm sorry to pick up the phone first" Ratna said, moving away from the table where they were eating.

"Kasian ya Bang, mbak Ratna must be a mother and father for her, not to mention the ridicule of people who consider herself involved in the case of her ex-husband" Syifa said while glancing at her husband.

"We pray that Allah will always protect them, and also be provided with a good provision for his family" said Bani, rubbing his wife's head gently.

Ratna has returned. "I'm sorry I have to go home soon, she said my son was crying for me, because when I left he was sleeping" Ratna explained.

"Oh yes please mbak Ratna, thank you for sharing the story with, if you need help do not hesitate to contact us" Syifa said.

"Thank you for the treat as well". Ratna rushed away very hurriedly.

Syifa only looked at Ratna's departure until Ratna's figure was no longer visible to her eyes.

"Would there be no intention to visit Malik ?" ask Syifa.

"Hmm. . not yet dear, it seems Malik is still not aware of his guilt, you were not horrified earlier Ratna said he even tried repeatedly to escape, trying to escape, Brother is afraid that if he goes there with this situation he will hate his brother even more".
