"Assallamu'alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh," hail Kabir and Syakir together.
"Wa'alaikumsallam warahmatullahi wabarakatuh," Leah and Ruchan replied frantically.
Kabir and Syakir are shocked to see Abi and Mama hugging. So did Leah and Ruchan, who immediately took off their embrace. The four of them became awkward, instantly as if the sound of crickets in the silence.
Krikk...
"What a game, huh?" asked Kabir innocently.
"Maybe a hug game. Isn't that Abi?" sahut Syakir's.
"Em .. that, yes hehehe. Abi said yes, it's too late!" pamit Ruchan was nervous.
"Assallamu'alaikum, children" said Ruchan immediately departed because he was embarrassed to be caught by his twin son while hugging Leah.
"Ma, Abi why? His face was red like a boiled crab. Kayak Syakir who broke the fast because it was discovered minun too, hahaha ...," said Kabir.
"Ndn't be funny!" shakir with a flat face.
In the afternoon, Umi Desi came to Leah's house to talk about Akbar's problem. It was fortunate that the children were taking TPQ in the afternoon, so what Umi Desi told Leah they did not hear.
"Assallamu'alaikum" greetings Umi Desi.
"Assallamu'alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh, Leah, Le?" yell Umi Desi.
"Wa'alaikumsallam warahmatullahi wabarakatuh, Umi. How about, yelling, anyway?" welcome Leah.
"Where's Ruchan?" ask Umi.
"Mas Ruchan, is out, Mi. What's up, ya find Mas Ruchan?"
Of course, that statement astonished Leah. "What do Umi mean? Like, how, huh?" leah asked confusedly.
"The son of the people told the son of Umi. Costs are also added times, Le. You must be aware dong! He also has a father. Love your father there! As if, want to make him not want to care. The reason is only his mother is not there, his mother's will is. Get Sandy to marry again. So that he has a connecting mother," said Umi Desi with a ketus.
Leah could only think by what Umi Desi meant it was Akbar's custody. "Before a minute, Mi," said Leah into the room and brought something.
"Look, Umi don't have to worry. Akbar has his own savings. And all this time we raised Akbar with 50% Handika family money and 50% Mas Ruchan money%. So, Umi does not have to worry about financial problems, yes-" explained Leah showed Akbar's savings book which is sent by Sandy every month.
"It's just that Ruchan's kids are lacking, isn't it? Your love is also divided, isn't it?" Umi Desi is still insistent.
"She heard, yeah. Actually Leah doesn't want to talk about this, embarrassed. But the origin of Umi know aja, compared to the wealth of pesantren and the wealth of my family. That's higher than my family's wealth compared to pesantren's. Got us just in for two, and that's sometimes Sandy won't, and automatically the results of the effort go all into my account. And the pesantren? It has to be 3, right? Mas Ruchan is still here and there looking for money? But I'm the same Mas Ruchan never bothered about it. So why is Umi who is not the heir to the pesantren so pretentious gini yes, I think Umi has indeed changed. It turned out the same, two-headed snake!" light Leah with emotion.
"Please design you!" bent Umi Desi raised her hand. However, before Umi Desi could slap Leah, Ruchan had held Umi Desi's hand first.
"Ruchan, are you here? You heard it yourself, didn't you, son? Our wife is insulting Umi. Where there's a son-in-law insulting her in-laws like this. Come on Ruchan, tell your wife if there is a daughter-in-law to her in-laws" Umi Desi is still tight-lipped and defensive.
"Once again Ruchan saw Umi raising her hand to his wife, Ruchan. With a heavy heart, please Umi out of this pesantren. Mas Ikhsan also definitely does not care anymore, Umi!" Ruchan.
"Ruch! What the hell are you saying? Umi raised you, son? Why are you so rude to Umi. Just because of this arrogant woman?" yelled Umi Desi feeling hurt.
"Umi made Ruchan like this. Ruchan said many times, right? Never reveal the problem about Akbar, Ruchan did not like the name Umi called him adopted child. If indeed Umi does not like Akbar, please leave this pesantren. Assallamu'alaikum!" Ruchan even put his hands together and then showed the door for Umi Desi to come out.
"Your work is with Umi Han, disobey you!" Umi Desi did not accept Ruchan's treatment.
"Astaghfirullah hal'adzim,"
Leah went into the kitchen and gave Ruchan some water. Seen Ruchan very angry, Ruchan had heard a conversation between his wife and mother that. Leah felt guilty for bringing up the wealth between them. But Leah knew, if Ruchan must not be angry because there was something else that made him angry this time.
