Tears of Sholehah's Wife

Episode 76's.

Since her meeting with Ammar a week ago, Jihan has often thought about her ex-husband. Now that Ammar looked different to the old Ammar, he looked calmer and more mature than before.

And what makes Jihan confused, since when did Ammar become a santri? Even Jihan only knew that the young man could read the Qur'an so well.

“Ummi notice from earlier you daydream continuously, again think what?” Tegur Salma who had been watching her daughter.

Jihan jerks and suddenly misbehaves. “Not thinking of anything, Ummi.”

“You're thinking of Ammar?” Guess Salma.

Jihan was tense, she did not want the Ummi to know what she had in mind.

“Nak.” Salma touched Jihan's shoulder.

“I-iya, Ummi. I just ...”

“Ummi! Please come here for a moment!” Shouted Arif from inside the room before Jihan finished talking.

“Iya, briefly, Abi!” Reply Salma, then pat Jihan's thigh gently. “A minute, yes!”

Salma moved and rushed to see her husband.

Jihan exhaled a sigh of relief, she immediately got up into her room before the ummi again asked her assortment. He did not want Salma to know that he was thinking about Ammar, for fear of his ummi being angry.

The next morning, after tidying up the house, Jihan hurriedly went to the stall to help her parents as usual. He went to the stall on foot, because the distance was not too far.

But when on the road Jihan cross paths with a car that is familiar to him, the car stopped right beside Jihan and a man with an Arab face opened the window.

“Assalamualaikum, Jihan!”

“Wa’alaikumsalam, Mas Radit.” Reply Jihan.

“Where to?” Ask Radit.

“You to the shop, Mas.” Answer Jihan. “Mas Radit new coming?”

“Iya, Mother yesterday phone asked me to come, he said there is an important thing to talk about. He misses.” the most Radit then laughed.

Jihan also laughed at the handsome widower's words.

“Ya already then I'm sorry first, fear Ummi and Abi waiting for you.” Lihan Pungkas.

“You want me to drop off?”

Jihan shook her head. “Not working, Mas. I'm on foot.”

“Alright, you be careful, yes!”

Jihan nodded and smiled. “Assalamualaikum.”

“Wa’alaikumsalam.” Reply Radit.

Jihan continued her steps leaving Radit's car, the handsome widower just glanced at her from behind the rearview mirror.

As promised at that time, Radit kept his friendship with Jihan and the two women's parents, and tried to behave like a friend even though there was still a feeling of love that resided in his heart. But he believed, gradually the taste would disappear as time went on.

“Assalamualaikum, Mother!” Sapa Radit got off the car.

Yuni who was sitting on the terrace returned the greeting of her son. “Wa’alaikumsalam. Uh, it's up apparently.”

Radit walked over to Yuni and kissed her on the back.

“What do you want to talk about until you tell me to rush home like this?”

“Let's go in first! We talk inside.” Yuni pulled Radit's arm and invited the son to sit down.

Radit just resignedly followed the will of the woman he loved the most.

“So like this, yesterday Bude you were in Kediri's story, he said there was a child kyai the owner of the boarding school who wants him to match with you. Her son is beautiful and kind, sholeha again.” Terang Yuni was enthusiastic.

“Bun, I don't want to be betrothed! Let me find it for myself.”

“When are you looking for yourself? You are always busy with work. Don't-don't until mother died, we're not married.” Yuni's grumbling.

“Bun, why do you talk that way?”

“Resid Mother! You always ignore the problem of a soul mate!”

“That fool God arranged, Bun. He will come just in time and in the way that Allah is pleased with. We just have to wait.”

“Yes, indeed the soul mate has been arranged by God, but as humans we must also have the desire and effort, son. Or if you don't just preach Jihan again, Mother heard she's officially divorced.”

Radit just smiled in response to Yuni's remarks, he knew that his mother still wished Jihan to be his life companion. Although Yuni set him up with another woman, but at the end of it must have told the baby back to propose to Jihan again. But Radit never took it seriously. To be honest Radit himself is confused why Jihan did not return to Ammar and continue their divorce? He was curious, but felt that there was no merit and no right to ask.

“Nak, you want, right?” Yuni. “We are just in touch and acquaintance only, really. If you feel that you are not suitable, you can reject it.”

“By not if I answer do not want?” Radit asked back.

Yuni's face was sour. “Yes if you don't want to!”

Seeing Yuni sulking with a sour face, Radit chuckled and embraced the body of the mother with affection.

“Iya, deh, yes. I want.”

Yuni directly sumringah with sparkling eyes. “You really want?”

Radit nodded.

“Alright, later in the afternoon we leave for Kediri!” Pinta Yuni is excited.

“Iya, Mother dear.” Sahut Radit's.

“Now you rest, Mommy wants to call Bude you first.” Yuni left in excitement.

Radit exhaled, determined to open his heart to another woman and try to accept a new love, because he realized that he could not change what had happened, so he didn't want to waste time on expecting the uncertain.

Maybe yesterday there was gray, today was still cloudy paddled. But Radit knows that life doesn't just talk yesterday and today. But there's still tomorrow he has to welcome.

Moreover, she did not want to disappoint Yuni and make her mother sad again, she wanted to see her mother happy in her old days.
