The Pursuit of Fatimah Love

Fire in the pesantren

Chapter 14

"Arman watch your words!" sergah Ilham, stared intently at Arman.

"It's a reality Bang!" answer Arman.

"Never be afraid to lose treasure in the world of Arman! what else depends on hope to humans" said Haji Maulana.

Arman snorted in annoyance.

"As much as you!" Arman steps away, without any respect to Abi and his Umi.

"German!" shouts of Inspiration, following the steps of Arman.

"Astaghfirullah" Umi Zahira said, holding her chest tight, the first time she saw her son Arman being disrespectful to them.

"Sabar Umi" Salma hugged the body of Umi Zahira, while wiping the tears that flowed on her face.

"Abi, Umi, forgive Fatimah, for my selfishness has all gone awry" Fatimah said, bowing before Abi and Uminya.

"It's not your fault, the feeling came suddenly without anyone being able to resist it!" Haji Maulana rubbed Fatimah's head gently.

"If Fatimah's choice is wrong, help Abi and Umi straighten out" said Fatimah, a clear circle began to wet her face.

"Istikharah prayer and ask for guidance, let Allah assure your choice" replied Umi Zahira while wiping away Fatimah's tears.

"What about the fate of this pesantren Abi, Umi?" fatimah asked, looking closely at the faces of his parents and his brother.

"Never worry about something that has not happened Fatimah! Ikhtiar and do'a that we must do, then let the hand of God that works," said Haji Maulana, making Fatimah aware.

"Astaghfirullah, forgive me Lord, for doubting Your power."

"Better now we perform the Ashar prayer first!" Said Salma, who continued to be on Umi Zahira's side.

All agreed, and they rushed to the mosque right next to the pesantren, with the same name, the mosque Darul Hikmah.

"Arman, wait!" Call Ilham, pull Arman's arm.

"You can't be this disrespectful!" ilham said, trying to hold back his emotions.

"Loe knows khan bang, how is the power of Abdullah's hajj family? And the progress of the Darul Hikmah pesantren is due to their interference!" shouted Arman, attracting the attention of the students who were there.

Inspiration sighed, Arman's emotional nature and temperamental attitude really could not change.

"Arman, we can talk about this with a cool head" said Ilham gently, trying to cool Arman's heart.

"We pray ashar first, after that we only discuss this problem" asked Ilham.

Arman snorted in annoyance, while following the steps of Inspiration.

They set foot in the mosque and pray together. While performing congregational prayers, suddenly heard the sound of screams, from the santri who were not performing prayers.

"Fire .. fire pesantren ...." The sound of their screams, made all the worshippers immediately finish their prayers, and ran out. Haji Maulana immediately contacted the fire department.

"Astaghfirullahaladzim" they shouted at the same time. Seen the red guy, quickly melalap banguan pesantren.

Ilham, Arman and the santriawan tried to put out the fire with water and makeshift equipment. Eventually the fire engine arrived. However, almost the entire pesantren building has been burned.

Umi Zahira fell down and cried, as did Salma. Fatimah held tightness in her chest, believing that the fire had something to do with her rejection of Arshad's sermon.

Fatimah got up from her seat, with Bismillah and a sure step, she immediately left the boarding area. He immediately entered the house looking for Arman's motorbike key, and immediately drove the bike out of the boarding school.

"Abi Maulana ..kak Fatimah went to take Arman's motorcycle bang!" shouted one of the sisters, making them all choked.

"Where is Fatimah going?" Umi Zahira said with an anxious face.

"Ilham, let's go after Fstima!" Take Haji Maulana with a tense face, his feelings are not good.

Without waiting for an answer from the Maulana Hajj, the motorbike driven by Ilham and Arman drove across the highway. Along the way Ilham continued to search for traces of Fatimah.

"We're going to Abdullah's hajj family's house." Arman said suddenly, making Ilham immediately stop the bike.

"Are you sure Fatimah went there?" Ask Ilham, frowning.

"Hurry bang! Before it's too late!" arman's orders, leaving Ilham speechless.

Ilham again drove his motorcycle towards Abdullah's hajj house, a myriad of questions popped up in his mind. He's convinced that Arman is hiding something.

*****************

Arriving at the magnificent house of Abdullah's hajj, Fatimah immediately parked her motorbike, and hurried to step into the house.

"Assalamualaikum" said Fatimah.

"Waalaikumsalam" said the middle-aged woman, who is Umi Nara who is the wife of Haji Abdullah and certainly the mother of Arsyad.

"Fatimah! what are you doing here?" Umi Nara asked tightly, and a look of dislike on her face

"Sorry Umi, can I meet with Hajj sir and bang Arsyad?" Fatimah asked in a voice as soft as possible, even though her chest was tight.

"Would you like to see us?" Ask Haji Abdullah, who was suddenly in front of them with Arshad beside him.

"Sorry Hajj sir, I just want to tell if Darul Hikmah has just experienced a fire" replied Fatimah, lowering her face.

Arsyad, Umi Nara and Haji Abdullah frowned, staring intently at Fatimah.

"What does this have to do with us Fatimah?" Arsyad asked, staring fixedly at the face of Fatimah, the woman who was able to shift her world, while making her hurt.

"Ooo ..I know, you must have asked for our help to help rebuild the pesantren? don't dream of Fatimah! after you and your brother threw shit in our faces!" sergeant Umi Nara with a flushed face and a sharp look.

"I'm sorry, it's not all my family's fault, but it's my fault! so please, not out of heartache, you have the heart to sacrifice many people" said Fatimah, although her heart trembled violently.

"What do you mean Fatimah?" ask Haji Abdullah, with a flash of his light.

"Why do you have the heart to burn pindok pesantren which is a sacred place to study? Don't you think what you're doing is criminal? What if there's a death?" Ask Fatinah, making their eyeballs perfectly round with an increasingly scarlet face.

"That's so bad you're Fatimah!" hardik Umi Nara, who was about to raise her hand to Fatimah's face.

"Don't Umi" Prevent Arsyad, while holding Uminya's hand.

"You're still defending this brash and ignorant woman at this profit, Arsyad!" yell Umi Nara.

"Relax Umi, let Fatimah be Arshad's business" replied Arsyad, without blinking a single glance at Fatimah.

"Do you have any evidence to accuse us?" Ask Arsyad, while bringing his body closer to Fatimah, making Fatimah take a few steps back.

Arsyad continued to step closer to Fatimah who continued to step back, until it was not aware if there were stairs on the floor to the front room of the house Arsyad, making Fatimah's body lose balance. But before his body touched the floor, a burly hand caught him.

*****************

Is it true that the accident that occurred was the work of the Arsyad family?

Was Fatimah's refusal, a grudge against the Arshad family ?

What is Arman hiding?

Who was the hand that captured Fatimah's body?
