That Storm Must've Passed

Unexpected help

"Assalaamu'alaikum.." said my greetings as soon as we arrived at the house of the headmaster of Nia.

"Wa'alaikumussalaam...who is it??" A tall, big, tan-skinned man came out of the house to answer my greetings.

"Sorry, is this father Surya?" many ensure.

"Rubber. Whose mother is it?"

"I'm sorry, I'm a neighbor of Nia's sister, my father's student." I said as I reached out and pointed towards Nia.

"Yes...please sit down mom....what can I help you with?" mr. Surya said to let us sit down.

"Sorry father, is it true that in school you are in need of teachers in the field of English studies? If that's true, can I ask you to accept me to work at your school?"

"Yes.really...Is your mother an English Education graduate?"

"Sorry sir, actually I am still up until the fifth semester, but I really hope you can accept me, later while I teach I hope I can continue until I graduate...and if at school you have a place to live that I can stay for a while, I beg you can allow me to occupy it because at this time I have no place to live..."

For a moment Mr. Surya looked at me surprised, but soon he smiled.

"Yes ma'am..alhamdulillaah happened to be in our school there were no teachers in the field of English studies. Can you start teaching in second semester? Later along the way, mother can continue with mother's college. Similarly, if you need a place to stay, there happens to be one location of the official house behind our school, but maybe later it needs a little cleaning, please later you can use." said Mr. Surya.

At that moment, Nia and I looked at each other. I can hardly believe hearing Mr. Surya's explanation just now.

"Is this really what you said?" tanju.

"Yes mom, right. Oya, when do you plan to occupy the house?"

"Yes..Allaah ..alhamdulillaah.thank you Mr. Surya, may Allah repay the kindness of Mr...jazakumullaahi Khairan katsiraa.."ujarku, and do not feel my tears lapping. I am so thankful that God did not leave me.

"Alright mom.I hope next week you can start teaching." said Mr. Surya again.

"God willing, sir.Again thank you, sir.we beg you first.assalaamu'alaikum.."

"Wa'alaikumussalaam..."

Me and Nia said goodbye and immediately left Mr. Surya's house.

When I got home, I could not find my husband. I immediately approached my son and told him the results of my conversation with Mr. Surya.

"Thankful alhamdulillaah Ma..so when are we going to clean up our stuff?" Ask Didi.

"So, Mom forgot to ask about the key to the house. Mama thinks we should clean the house before we pack. Maybe tomorrow afternoon mom will go to the house of Mr. Surya again to ask for the key to the house. I was so happy, my mom forgot to ask me that." I said.

"What is the plan of the father who said he wanted to take the mother to move yesterday? Do you know Ma?" Ask Didi.

"Yet" I replied.

"Yes don't want laa. Why mom wants to move but not obviously where to go. Moreover, you do not want to come. It's better for mom to be here with you." I said.

"Is that okay, ma?" ask Didi to make sure.

"of course. Mama was very eager to continue her desire to teach like you used to do in the old place. So if you do not agree, you will ask first what the reason is, especially you have not been able to give the best for us as he promised before" I assured my son.

"If it's so mama, Didi can only support aja ma. Hope what you're trying to do gets easy."

"Aamiin..."

Shortly after we talked about my plan to teach, my husband came home from nowhere.

"Where have you been, Mom?" my many.

"Yes, mas just went around looking for a new contract place" he said.

"That's it, it's not necessary."

"Why?"

"I've got a new place."

"Where's that? How come?" tanyanya.

"I will teach in a school in the west of this village. And there the principal gave me permission to occupy the official house behind the school."

My husband's face immediately shrunk after hearing my explanation. I can't tell if he doesn't understand what I'm saying or if he doesn't agree.

"If you disagree or dislike me, I will stick with my intention to teach. At least this is a clear situation for now, rather than me having to go to and fro that is not clear" I said straightforwardly.

My husband mendehem then said, "Well, if that's what you want, you come along. When will we move. What was the name of the principal?"

"Solar Pak. Atmaja Solar."

"Oo.that if not wrong there is still a familial relationship with mas. Try calling him later" he said.

"For what?" I don't like it.

"Nothing, just making sure and while grateful he is very good people" he replied.

"I don't want to talk about the no-no later." I said.

"No, don't worry, brother. If necessary, I will thank him. Sometimes we'll go to her house together and bring souvenirs for her family" she said erasing my curiosity.

"Alright, it's up to the mas then, just don't let the mas forbid my intention to teach." I said as I passed towards the kitchen.
