The Light of Love Salma

Ask Restu Umik

"Not too long, sit down, son!" sahut Umik immediately gave Ghozi an order to sit next to him.

"Does Umik still like to sleep here?" Ghozi was still arranging the right words to tell Umik, which is why he diverted Umik's attention first before he told the story and asked for Umik's approval or blessing.

"Of course, it feels very quiet and quiet to sleep in the room" replied Umik.

Since Abi died Umik did prefer to sleep on a thick mattress that was deliberately placed in the family room, usually Umik will be accompanied by one of his students or Bu Siti.

Yang Ghozi knew Umik could not sleep alone, so someone had to accompany him while sleeping Umik could only sleep peacefully.

"Every day Umik hopes you get married and return home, stay here with Umik, and Umik really hope you can soon have children so that you can accompany Umik to sleep here, but that hope will never be realized if you don't get married," Umik again said the true hope he had said several times since Ghozi had just arrived this afternoon.

"Umik, I came here to say if there was a girl who broke into Ghozi's heart, but," Ghozi momentarily fell silent not continuing his sentence.

"But why, son? who's the girl? tell Umik!" pinta Umik hopes that Ghozi will tell him everything soon.

"But the girl is not the daughter of a Kiyai Umik, she is an ordinary girl and she is also a santri in the Ummi boarding school, just like me," Ghozi went into more detail about who the girl he loves is.

Umik who heard Ghozi's explanation immediately fell silent, how he could accept an ordinary girl from an ordinary family, could be paired with Ghozi who in fact was the son of a Kiyai, just like Kafa.

"She was the only friend and brother that Salma had, Umik" once again Ghozi said who the girl who was controlling her son's heart was.

Umik was still silent even though Ghozi had said what Umik needed to know.

"I will not go against Umik's will, if Umik does not agree or does not like it, then I will not continue my intention and I will forget it." Ghozi spoke again, but Umik was on the verge of doubt.

"Say Umik! what do you think?" Ghoziterus said, trying to ask for opinions and answers from the Umik.

Umik who has been silent since staking sort out the good and bad consequences that will occur finally chose to pause to think about it for a moment.

"Have you chosen her as your future wife Ghozi?" instead of answering Umik instead asked back, on the other hand actually Umik wanted Ghozi to get the daughter of a Kiyai who was in class with Ghozi, but Umik could not be selfish, but he could not be selfish, if Ghozi loves a girl from an ordinary family, then he cannot do anything, because the one who will live the household life later is not Umik but Ghozi and the girl of his choice.

"I've been thinking for a long time about what I feel this Umik, at first I'm not sure and doubt, what else if considering she is not the daughter of a Kiyai enough to make me confused Umik, what else, I was also worried that Umik could not accept it, which is why I just talked to Umik," Ghozi said, telling Umik everything in the hope that he would accept Tari.

"Actually Umik does want the daughter of a Kiyai to be your wife, but Umik can not fight against destiny, if your destiny is not the daughter of a Kiyai then Umik only needs to accept what is destined for you," once again Umik said what was really on his mind.

"What does it mean that Umik accepts and blesses the girl of my choice?" once again Ghozi tried to convince himself of the answer Umik gave.

"Yes, Umik accepted it" replied Umik.

"Thank God" said Ghozi, feeling very grateful for what Umik had just said.

Really Ghozi never thought if the Umik would approve his wish, one step has passed, now is the time Ghozi said his intention to Ummi in the pesantren.

"Can Umik see who Ghozi is?" tanya Umik with a curious facial expression looked towards Ghozi.

"He is in Umik boarding school, if Umik wants to know tomorrow I will invite Umik to meet him," said Ghozi who suddenly looks like a fool when it comes to love.

"Umik doesn't need to meet him right now Ghozi, Umik just wants to know what his face looks like?" Umik explained what he meant.

"Umik can see her tomorrow at the pesantren, her face is not very pretty but her smile is very sweet, although the speech is not as soft as Salma, but her heart is as clear as dew," a very confusing answer for Umik, who said, he just wanted to know how the face of the girl of Ghozi's heart, but Ghozi instead answered things that could not be understood by Umik.

"Not Umik, Ghozi used to have feelings for Salma, Mas Kafa's wife, but it was long before the two were married, after the two married the love slowly thinned and disappeared with time, and in the end Ghozi again felt love with Tari, who was none other than Salma's best friend and brother," Ghozi tries to explain in more detail his romantic journey in search of true love that will accompany him to the end of his life.

"Thank God if you've thrown away the love that shouldn't grow in your heart, Umik just wants to see the face of the girl who filled your heart through the photo before Umik met him." Umik tried to explain what Umik really wanted.

"Why Umik didn't say that from now on, Ghozi thought Umik wanted to meet with Tari in person and see how she really was" said Ghozi who also said what was on his mind.

"Later Umik will definitely meet him Ghozi, but for now Umik only wants to see him through photos," said Umik.

"Wait a minute Umik!" pinta Ghozi walked excitedly into the room.

Ghozi took the phone that had been lying helplessly on the nightstand in his room, Ghozi rarely carried the flat object if he wanted to go to the mosque, or fill an empty class while in his pesantren, although Ghozi's pesantren is not as big as Kafa's pesantren, but Ghozi's pesantren has quite a lot of santri and another important one, pedantren Ghozi does not attract any crocodiles, except to pay for electricity and water, students only need to pay for electricity and water dues they use every day, or pay dues when there are public facilities that are damaged due to the actions of the students themselves, besides Ghozi and his family who bear all costs including the salaries of teachers.

Really Ghozi and his family really self-administered to educate the nation's children, the very light costs make the guardian of students who are less able to feel helped by it.

"Umik, here's the picture." Ghozi walked over with a single flat object lit in his hand, unceremoniously stale Ghozi directly showing the phone he took to Umik.

There is a photo where there is a girl sitting in a hut in the middle of the rice field, looking straight ahead with a heart-wrenching look.

"Is this the girl who usually helps Neng Salma if Ummi is having a Ghozi event?" tanya Umik who felt very familiar with the face and posture in the photo, although the photo was taken from the canoe, but the face of Tari looks quite clear.

"Yes, Umik, she's a Dance girl who used to help Ummi if he had an event," replied Ghozi who looks excited to tell who the real Dance is.

"If that were true to him, Umik had already met and had a little chat with him," Umik recalled the time he visited the Ghozi boarding school and met with Tari there.

"According to Umik how is his son? is Ghozi's choice right or not?" tanya Ghozi looked at Umik enthusiastically.

"The child is polite and looks hardworking, but getting married is not just about that Ghozi, you have to be a good priest for him and your children later," Umik started giving advice to Ghozi.

"If I knew about it, Umik, and I would try to be the best priest for my son and wife" replied Ghozi.

"It's good that you understand, now what about his parents? do you know where he came from and where they live?" this time Umik again asked about the girl.

"Is that important Umik?" instead of answering Ghozi, he asked back, because Ghozi did not know where Dari came from he only knew about Salma and where he came from.

"Of course, it's important, if you don't know the nasab, how you can marry her, the nasab or the offspring of a girl you want to marry is important, so that you can understand how and what his family is like you will also more easily adjust to them later," Umik discussed at length about the importance of knowing the nasab of a girl he will marry.

"Then, let Ghozi find out Umik," replied Ghozi who quite surprised Umik because of it.

"Don't tell me you don't know who his family is yet and where he's from" Umik said.

"Ghozi does not know about all that Umik, and Ghozi will immediately find him," said Ghozi trying to convince the Umik so that he does not cancel the blessing that has been given.

"If Umik wait for complete information about the girl you are going to marry," said Umik.

"Well, Umik," Ghozi can.

"Then Ghozi goes first Umik, better Umik rest first." Ghozi's message breezed Peegi out of the living room into his room and began to think about how he would get complete information about Dance.
