My priest

The failed plan

After the event, Ustad Ilham rushed home. Arriving in front of the house he saw the lights had been turned off it was a sign that the wife had fallen asleep. He knocked on the door and called Lula.

Tok Tok's.

''Asalamualaikum dek,'' said ustad Ilham.

But there was no response from Lula. Ustad Ilham tried again.

''Asalamualaikum deck, it's me. Have you slept?'' ustad Ilham.

There was no response from Lula.

Ustad Ilham tried to move the doorknob and it turned out that the door was not locked. Then Ustad Ilham entered his house. He went to Lula's room.

''Dek... Did you sleep?'' ustad Ilham.

''Here I bring food, if you haven't slept, you can eat this!'' ustad Ilham.

Suddenly Lula opened the door of her room, she saw 2 boxes of cardboard filled with food. 1 large box containing rice and side dishes, another one containing snacks. Lula sat in front of the Ilham Ustad, he opened the contents of the cardboard box.

''So many?'' ask Lula.

''So I did not eat the food, I brought all this for you, '' said Ustad Ilham.

''Lo want to make a fat cave?'' lula said as she glared.

''Huh, endak. I just want to give you that food. I do not mean to make you fat, '' said Ustad Ilham.

''Yes, yes, the cave is just kidding. Baperan really si, '' said Lula.

Lula ate the contents of a small cardboard box, while Ilham's ustad only watched his wife eat.

''Why do you see the cave? That's why we eat!'' lula.

''You eat, I will eat the food, '' said Ustad Ilham.

''The cave does not want to, '' said Lula.

''Yawes, don't eat yes, '' said Ustad Ilham.

When going to take the rice, Lula stopped the Ilham.

''Eheh, what a slob. Wash your hands first! If you use a spoon of the no papa, this is playing comot only," said Lula.

"Ah yes, sorry, '' said ustad Ilham.

He went to the kitchen to wash his hands. After cleaning, he returned to the guest room.

Ustad Ilham ate the food. Lula recalled her conversation with Umi Lihah and Hanifah.

''How old are you now?'' ask Lula.

''My life is now 31, '' said Ustad Ilham.

''Not wrong dong cave call lo om?'' lula.

Ustad Ilham was silent, honestly he was not comfortable if called om by his own wife. But Ustad Ilham could not refute it.

''Would the gua ask you something? You have to answer honestly!'' lula.

''Yes, '' said Ustad Ilham.

''There is a special relationship with Hanifah? Answer honestly." Said Lula with a sharp look.

Ustad Ilham thought.

''Don't lie. If you lie to the cave, this marriage is not lasting, said Lula.

''Say that, deck!'' ustad Ilham.

''Yes, I replied.'' Said Lula urging ustad Ilham to be honest.

Ustad Ilham took a deep breath.

''Actually.., '' said ustad Ilham cut off.

''Actually what? Long benget si stay talking doang," said Lula.

"Actually the ustad Zaki submitted a proposal to me for Hanifah." Said Ustad Ilham while bowing his head did not dare to look at his wife.

Not that she was angry, Lula smiled happily.

''So because of the cave, Lo and Hanifah did not get married. You must be heartbroken huh.'' Lula said with a sad face.

''No, you are not wrong. I first accepted an arranged marriage with you, said Ustad Ilham.

''No, the wrong cave. Because the cave lo and Hanifah can not be together, the cave is really sorry.'' Said Lula pretending to look guilty.

''Ndak papa,'' said ustad Ilham.

''You want to get married again, no papa. The cave must agree, consider it as a cave redemption to you, said Lula.

Ustad Ilham was surprised by his wife's words, how could she allow her husband to marry again so easily. Ustad Ilham really did not expect if Lula could think like that. Even he did not have the slightest intention to polygamy.

Without answering Lula's words, Ustad Ilham went to the kitchen to wash his hands.

''I'm not angry, he should be angry. The cave must find another way, whispered Lula.

Lula seemed to be thinking hard. He found it a crazy idea to get the Ilham Ustad to divorce him.

Ustad Ilham walked towards his room, as he was about to open the door, Lula stopped him.

''Wait!'' lula.

Ustad Ilham stood at the door. Lula approached him and stood beside the Ilham. He stared at the Ilham but the Ilham Ustad did not look at him.

''The cave is no longer a virgin, '' said Lula.

When Ilham was surprised, he looked into Lula's eyes. Lula felt that the plan would work.

''Why did the cave ask you to marry again, because this is just a case. The cave wants you to be a good person, a person who is like an elo. The one who has never touched the opposite sex, the one who is still holy. This cave is for the sake of elo, '' explained Lula at length.

Ustad Ilham looked silent, he felt his heart was really sick, not the chapter of Lula who was no longer virgin but the attitude of him who was very imposing his desire.

''I accept you for who you are, I will never wish you. Whatever your shortcomings, I will accept that, he said with teary eyes.

''Why are you doing this, huh? Lo love the cave, said Lula as she glared.

Without answering Lula's question, Ustad Ilham entered his room. Lula was very upset that her plan had failed.

''Ihh, '' said Lula.

Lula went into his room.
