Trapped in a Sacred Prison

CHAPTER 28

That afternoon, after returning from the hospital, the residents of room one now returned to their rooms to continue their activities as a santri.

The room that had been quiet because of their departure, immediately stormed back because of the endless action of the occupants of the room told a story.

Not with Sarah. The girl actually looks quiet and often daydreaming since seeing the ring on the ring finger of ustadz that he greatly admired.

Is it true that Ammar is married? But when did he get married? And who's his wife?

A series of questions kept spinning in his mind. As Sarah knew, Ustadz Ammar still lived in the special house of the teacher, and never once did he see a woman with him, except the ustadzah of Maryam.

"Maryam's Ustadzah?" Sarah mentioned the name of her new ustadzah several times, the article is often close to the ustadz Ammar is the ustadzah Maryam, and he only saw the ring when the ustadzah Maryam began to teach in this pesantren.

"I have to check it myself" his mind then took his duty from the closet.

"Guys, where is your nahwu duty? Want me to collect it right now in Maryam's room?" said Sarah.

"Well, how come all of a sudden?" tanya Ika was surprised.

"I want to go to Maryam's ustdzah room, so all of you take our duty not to come here" replied Sarah.

They finally gave Sarah the nahwu assignment book, after which she went to the dormitory where Maryam's ustadzah was located.

And this is where Sarah is now, watching Maryam's ustadzah examine their duties.

"Ustadzah is very beautiful, surely the husband of the ustadzah is very lucky." Sarah begins an investigation under the guise of a casual story.

"It can be you, but hopefully your words will soon be fulfilled" said Ustadzah Maryam while chuckling

"Aamiiin," said Sarah.

"That means that Maryam's ustadzah is not married. Good," Sarah laughed cheerfully.

"If I look, Maryam's ustadzah is very compatible with Ammar's ustadz loh," said Sarah, she wanted to ascertain whether the man was married or not.

"Hahaha, it could have been you," quipped the woman.

This time Sarah was a little disappointed because the answer she got did not make her satisfied.

"Well, you bring back your roommate's errands, I've checked everything.

"Oh yes, shukron ustadzah," said Sarah then returned to her room.

At the hospital, Uelfi had returned to rest after he had finished his lunch, and of course with the help of Ammar.

Although both of them seemed to be acting normally, but there was a sense of awkwardness that perched in the hearts of the two after their little quarrel that afternoon.

Ammar is currently sitting next to the bed of Uldi while muroja'ah rote. Suddenly the ringing of Ammar's cell phone sounded a sign that someone was contacting him.

The man chose to leave the room to receive a call from his best friend who was studying in Cairo.

"Assalamu 'alaikum, Fadil" said Ammar.

"Wa'alaikum hail, kaifa haaluka yaa aki? (how are you brother?)" ask the guy named Fadil across the phone.

"Alhamdulillah, bi khaiir yaa aki, (alhamdulillah, my brother)," replied Ammar.

"Have you received an email from the college? It seems like the announcement of graduating students post-graduate study program has come out" said Fadil.

"really? thank you for the information, I will immediately check it" said Ammar.

"Alright, good luck, be patient if you will come here, a special banquet is ready to wait for you here" said Fadil.

"Aamiiin, God willing, assalamu 'alaikum, '" he said, ending the call

Ammar went back to the room to check the incoming email, and sure enough, there was already an email from the famous campus in Cairo was plastered in his inbox.

Instantly his eyes sparkled, "Alhamdulillah passed," he was so happy, but a few moments later he remembered the figure of the girl who was lying weakly on the bed.

"But what about Ullis? I'm not calm if I have to leave her here" her monologue approached the girl's bed.

"How's this? Do I have to go there or do I have to stay here to take care of you?" she looked at the beautiful face that was no longer pale.

Ammar slowly grabbed his wife's hand, held it so gently and then kissed her.

Instantly a tinge of red appeared on both of Ulfi's cheeks. Yeah, that girl's been up since Ammar got the call outside the room, and of course she heard what the guy just said.

"Well, why kiss the hands of all the things" said Ulfi then opened his eyes.

Ammar reflex immediately took off the hands of Ulfi to make the tiny hand hit on the hard side of the bed.

"Auw," cried Ulfi who again made Ammar reflex to clutch his hand again.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean it" he said slowly and then placed the hand back carefully beside the owner.

A moment of awkwardness enveloped the atmosphere in the room, where there were only the two of them, while Hasan's grandfather and Ghafur's father had returned to the boarding school.

"I-yes it's okay, next time be careful," said Ulfi a little nervous.

I don't know what's coming at him right now, which is obviously the first time Ulli feels nervous and misbehaved when dealing with someone.

"Yes sorry" replied Ammar briefly.

As with Ulli, the man also felt what the girl felt, nervousness and misbehavior made him not know what to do.

"Ustadz" called Uldi after all against his nervousness.

"Yes," replied Ammar softly.

"Yes this ampum heart why so beat fast like gini anyway, relax woy relaxed," inner Ulli spoke to his heart.

"Anu ustadz, did I hear ustadz want to go well?" ask Ulfi.

"No, I didn't go" replied Ammar, who was honestly still in a dilemma.

"Why not be? Where the hell is Ustadz going?" investigate Ulli.

Ammar was silent, he was confused whether to be honest or not to this girl before him.

"Ustadz mending honest if ustadz still consider me as the wife of ustadz."

"Are you willing to be my wife?" this time Ammar asked back, making the girl turn the eyeballs carelessly.

"Kan, nanya again, very lazy," he said.

"Well, isn't it just her, you don't want to be my wife? There's a lot of people out there." This time Ammar wanted to tease the girl even though it was likely that the girl would get angry again.

"So, really, now answer my question, ustadz go where exactly?"

"Hmm, I want to go to Cairo to continue my education there."

"Cairo? Where is ustadz?" ask Ulfi plain.

"In Egypt."

"Woow, away ustadz,"

"Well, I have my doubts, because I have a mandate here to look after you.

Hearing Ammar's words, Ulli laughed. He just feels funny with the language 'keep'. What is he a child? How thought.
