After traveling for hours, they finally arrived at the boarding house. Lula saw about 50 people inside the ponpes welcoming them.
''Those guys welcome us?'' Ask Lula.
''Yes, they welcome us.'' Answer ustad Ilham.
''The mole here is just that?.'' Lula.
''Endorse, it was only the teacher and the manager of the cottage, as well as some of the santri.'' Answer ustad Ilham.
''Ohh the cave thinks it's just that.'' Lula.
When she reached the ponpes gate, Lula forgot to wear a veil.
''Which cave hijab was it?" Said Lula frantically looking for her hijab.
"Where did you put it?" Ask ustad Ilham while helping Lula find her hijab.
"Emm where are you?… Oh in the cave bag." Lula.
After finding his hijab, he immediately put it on. In a hurry, her hijab became a mess.
''Her hair is still visible!'' Ustad Ilham.
Lula tidied up her veil, but her hair was still visible.
''Udah?'' Ask Lula.
''Not yet.'' Answer ustad Ilham.
''Too now?'' Ask Lula again.
Uatad Ilham answered with a head.
''That's so complicated!'' Said Lula who was upset because of her hijab.
''I help you, right?'' Ustad Ilham.
''Yes a spit!'' Lula.
Ustad Ilham helped tidy up Lula's hair coming out of her hijab. Ustad Ilham felt his heart beating fast and his face warmed up. Suddenly the car glass was knocked from the outside by Ilham's friend and the manager of one of these ponpes. Ustad Ilham opened the car door.
''Asalamualaikum ustad Adam.'' Hail ustad Ilham while hugging his friend.
''Waalaikumsalam. Sorry yo, I can't come to your wedding.'' Saying to Adam.
''No papa, the important prayer is justad.'' Answer ustad Ilham.
''It must be a.'' Saying to Adam.
''Ihh use the show chat all.'' Inner Lula.
Without a stale Lula pulled the end of Ilham's shirt. Then the Ilham ustad looked towards Lula, Lula looked annoyed.
'' Sorry sorry, let's go down.'' Speak up to Ilham without giving his hand to Lula to hold.
''Come.'' Take ustad Ilham.
''This man has no message at all. Watch out for you later!'' Inner Lula.
Without a stale Lula holding the hand of the Ilham's ustad, it made the Ilham's ustad freeze for a while.
''Asalamualaikum.'' Hail Adam to Lula.
''Waalaikumsalam.'' Answer Lula.
''Monggo.'' Adam's Ustad invited Lula and Ilham's ustad in.
Lula and ustad Ilham went into the ponpes. Ustad Ilham shone on the hands of Ustad Zaki.
''Asalamualaikum.'' Ustad Ilham.
''Waalaikumsalam ustad, how is the journey?'' The basi ustad Zaki.
''Alhamdulillah smoothly ustad.'' Answer ustad Ilham.
''Asalamualaikum.'' Greetings umi Lihah.
''Waalaikumsalam.'' Said Lula while kissing the hands of Umi Lihah.
''Just call him Umi, like the others.'' Umi Lihah.
''Yes. umi.'' Lula.
The teachers and administrators of the ponpes and some of the students congratulated the Ilham. When they finished, Zaki let them in.
''Come on, please come in.'' Ustad Zaki.
Ustad Ilham and Lula entered the ponpes, They walked towards the house of the Ilham. Arriving in front of Ilham's house, Lula was surprised.
''What cave should stay here? Very small house.'' Inner Lula.
Ustad Ilham knew what his wife was thinking. They entered the house of Ustad Ilham. The men were on the porch, while the women were inside the house. Mr. Yudi delivered Lula's suitcases and Ilham's ustad.
''Excuse me, which suitcase to put?'' Said mr. Yudi.
''Sit down first sir.'' Ustad Ilham.
Ustad Ilham went into the house to put down his suitcases.
''Nuwun sewu ngggeh.'' Ustad Ilham.
After entering the suitcase into his room, Ustad Ilham returned to his room.
Inside the house.
''Mbak Lula has known ustad Ilham for how long?'' Ask one of the students.
''Shirt!" Umi Lihah.
"Sorry umi." Ayu.
"No papa kok umi. Emm we know when we're married, actually who know each other it's our parents, they're friends. The first time he met ustad Ilham when he talked about marriage.'' Lula.
''Ohh that.'' Ayu.
''Mbak Lula very beautiful lo, alus very skin.'' Said one of the santriwati.
''Haha yes thank you.'' Lula.
Lula accidentally sees Hanifah, a woman who looks sad on her wedding day. Lula felt that something was going on between the girl and her husband. Lula decided to approach and get acquainted with Hanifa.
''Can acquaintances? I'm Lula.'' Lula introduced herself.
''I'm Hanifah.'' Hanifah replied to Lula's handshake.
''Greetings know.'' Lula said with a smile.
As the day was getting late, they ended this welcome. Mr. Yudi stayed at one of the guest houses of the ponpes. After the Ilham Ustad cleaned up all of her, she went to the room to pick up her clothes. Suddenly Lula shouted.
''HAAAAAAAA.'' Lula's scream, Lula,
Lula ran towards the living room.
''Why you?" Ask ustad Ilham.
"There's a cockroach in the bathroom! I'm very ticklish.'' Lula.
''I'll drive out first!'' Ustad Ilham.
Ustad Ilham looking for cockroaches in the bathroom. After finding it, Ilham's ustad immediately threw it out. He's approaching Lula.
''I threw it away, you can now take a shower.'' Ustad Ilham.
Lula left without even speaking a single word.
After taking a bath, Lula changed clothes. Lula felt something was lacking, but what?.
''There are less caves, but what?… Oh yes cardboard which cave bag?'' Lula.
He searched for the existence of the cardboard but did not find it. Lula met Ilham's ustad to ask him where the card was.
''Which cave card?'' Ask Lula.
''What card deck? I don't understand?" Ustad Ilham.
"Cardboard contents expensive bags cave, you do not forget to bring it right?'' Lula.
''I did not bring any cardboard from home.'' Ustad Ilham.
''Oh, my God, you really are? That's cave investing. How careless is that?'' Lula.
''Sorry, I don't know.'' Ustad Ilham.
Regardless of Ilham's will, Lula left just like that.
Lula called mom Ira.
''Hallo ma. Ma there's my stuff left behind.'' Lula.
''What stuff? All feelings are brought.'' Mama Ira.
''I bag-bag ma. I went inside the cardboard, mama sentin ya.'' Lula.
''Oh my God, why should I bring La?'' Mama Ira.
'' That's my investment ma, if the bags are damaged the price must be turu ma. Mama paketin yes, tomorrow must come!'' Lula.
''Yes yes.'' Mama Ira.
''Okay ma, thank you.'' Lula.
