My Fans A Ustadz

49. Don't go home

Adnan kissed Nirmala's head repeatedly. He knew that his wife was still traumatized by the past. "You just sleep, let the mas buy the satay you want."

Nirmala nodded weakly. "Be careful, ma'am."

"Assalamualaikum," said Adnan with a long sigh. He missed Nirmala who was always cheerful. 

"Getishalight."

Adnan did not buy martabak. He went to his parents' house. Arriving at the same time, he entered after saying his greetings and did not wait for the reply of the person inside. 

"Adnan," said ummi Salma smilingly seeing Adnan coming back to his house. After that day, Adnan no longer visited their home.

"Abi .. Ummie.. Do you not intend to come to my house and apologize to Nirmala? You are clearly guilty of my wife, but why is there no intention to apologize? My wife cried every night out of fear for thinking I was going to marry Farah secretly. He always thinks bad every time I come to the boarding school."

"I miss my old wife very much. He always smiles, laughs, tells me anything, he always whines so that the punishment is lightened when memorization is not true. It's not Nirmala like this, she's always silenced and will cry at night while I sleep."

"Abi.. Ummi.. There is no harm in apologizing to children when they realize they made a mistake. My wife is pregnant. Please, apologize to Nirmala. At least your apology can lessen my wife's trauma."

Adnan left after saying that without saying hello. He went to the satay sales that Nirmala wanted. After that, he went straight home.

"Sorry, the old man came home" Adnan said as he unfolded satay on a plate for Nirmala.

Nirmala simply nodded without asking the old cause of her return. And that made Adnan's heart even more sliced. Usually Nirmala would babble at length when she came home late. 

So traumatized?

Nirmala thrust a skewer into Adnan's mouth and made Adnan look at him. Nirmala developed a smile accompanied by a slow nod. "Don't cry" said Nirmala when she realized Adnan's eyes were already glazed over.

Adnan chewed the goat satay while his head looked up to hold his tears so as not to spill. "Please believe the same, baby. They will not torture you. We're not going to keep this up, are we?" Adnan grabbed Nirmala's right hand and planted a lot of kisses there. For the first time Nirmala bribed him after the incident. 

Nirmala's crying broke again. "I believe the same. But I'm afraid you can't refuse an ummi request because you have to be filial to your parents. I'm scared, mas." Nirmala put the plate she held onto the table. 

Cuddling is inevitable. Both express deep feelings of love. Adnan's patience with Nirmala's trauma finally dawned on Nirmala that Adnan loved her very much. 

That night, they re-express the taste through an intoxicating spoiled touch. Adnan was so happy that Nirmala willingly performed the night ritual with him again. The passionate love is soaring above the clouds. Spend the night satisfying each other.

"You don't feel guilty, Farah?" kyai Hasan asked Farah who had just finished teaching. "Some santriwati talked about the situation of Adnan's wife who rarely went out of the house and never again invited them to eat together on weekends."

"Why are you like this, son? Why don't you think about Adnan's wife's feelings when her mother persuades you to be Adnan's second wife? Didn't Abi disagree from the start? But because your persuasion convinced Adnan to obey his mother's request, Abi was forced to agree just because you are so ummi you. You do not think if you really married Adnan, your feelings and the feelings of Adnan's wife must have hurt each other. Astaghfirullah, Abi did not end up thinking the same as you. Anyway, when someone tells you not to be rejected anymore. By Allah, Abi is ashamed of your conduct." 

Farah could only look down upon Kyai Hasan's anger. He also felt a great sense of guilt. The blind love he experienced made everyone blame him.

"Assalamualaikum, ustadz." said Adi saw Adnan who was sitting under a shady tree enjoying food in the city.

Adnan nodded. "Guildingsalam, ustadz."

"Gee. Like it's happy, here?" goda Adi who often noticed the depression of Adnan some time later.

Adnan's smile expands upon Adi's temptation. "Thank God, tadz. Which other pleasure should I deny, tadz."

Adi nodded in understanding. Although Adnan very rarely tell personal life, but he knows if Adnan some time ago is facing problems. 

"Well, not how. First must go to his parents, exchange CV ta'aruf, meet with him but can not be alone, keep the view, menghitbah, akad." adnan replied casually without using feelings because he had no feelings for Farah.

"If ustadz and wife ustadz how was that time?" asked Adi curious because after all, Adnan went to work. Why bring a wife home?

Hearing the question from Adi just now actually made Adnan chuckle. He did not answer immediately, choosing to close the lunch box, wash his hands, and drink first. Adi who waited as if impatient was so curious. 

"I have no ta'aruf process nor do I menghitah."

"So, why did you get married? Ustadz isn't dating, is he?" 

 Adnan shook his head because he never dated. "Maybe it's his soul mate's way, tadz. I am a fan of my wife who is a writer. And coincided with the work in the village of my wife as well. Yes, I take my friend to my wife's house and get married tomorrow."

Adi seemed amazed to hear the beginning of Adnan's love story. "Sorry, Tadz. After marriage, do ustadz and his wife do that right away?"

"Yes. Because we both accepted this marriage. Early married also my wife did not know that I was an ustadz, even though at the MTQ event my wife was a committee."

"Waaahh," Adi laughed at Adnan's story. He can also imagine how surprised Nirmala was when she first found out that Adnan was an ustadz. 

"Tadz. Want to accompany me as a guardian to preach Farah's ustadzah?" adi asked slowly after they had been silent for a moment just now. 

Long Adnan was silent. Adi asks for help for good, but he must not make unilateral decisions without thinking about Nirmala's feelings.

"I have to talk to my wife first, Tadz."

Adi nodded in understanding.

"Wife how are you today?" adnan asked while hugging Nirmala's stomach that had been bulging a little. 

"We're healthy, mas." Nirmala stroked Adnan's head. 

"Eat anything today?" 

Nirmala chuckled at Adnan's question. Indeed, since her pregnancy entered the second trimester, naffsu eat Nirmala increased except rice because it will vomit when eating rice.

"I've eaten mas-made soup, jelly, fruit salad, and mas-made dragon fruit juice as well."

"Alhamdulillah."

"I'm so fat, am I?" tanya Nirmala felt her weight gain more.

"No, honey. You are getting beautiful and sexy. Look, the source of power is getting bigger."

"Iiihh. It's got his dede."

Adnan laughed at that. "Honey. You want permission, okay?" 

"Where is it, my mother?"

"To the house of Kyai Hasan for,-" Adnan had not yet finished talking had been cut by Nirmala.

"Go, but don't go home again."
