Ustadz Dream

Chapter 10

Syifa was just speechless she was a little moody, the incident earlier in the cafeteria was enough to make her feel torn apart, a feeling that did not meet even unrequited for the first time she felt discarded. The feeling he never felt was the beginning of his turmoil.

The bell reads it's time to go home, the santri and santriwati rushed out to go to the cottage.

Joseph who was walking out of the office along with Ustadzah Nadia, he again met with Syifa and other santriwati who along with the return of santriwati.

''Why am I jealous to see their togetherness, I know enough myself if I have to compete with Ustadzah Nadia, she is so perfect I have to eliminate all these feelings.'' Lirih Syifa who tried to normalize the nose of his face.

Joseph, realizing that Syifa was looking at him, smiled, but Syifa turned her face and rushed to leave immediately without returning a smile and it was clear that Syifa did not have any feelings just to look at him as if he was ordinary even looked cold.

''I don't think I can express this feeling what Syifa would think if I really loved her, maybe I would look so stupid in her eyes would I have to accept this match?'' Lirih Yusuf in his heart, he was very confused by the new situation he experienced.

''Yusuf, I want to say something, '' said Ustadzah Nadia who looked at Joseph for a moment and turned back in the other direction.

Nadia did always call Joseph by name when they were just the two because according to Joseph call Ustadz Yusuf it was only for them to say in front of santri or santriwati, so Joseph called Nadia.

Since the time Abi Nadia entrusted Nadia to pesantren here the distance between Yusuf and Nadia never abah problems because Yusuf considers Nadia like her own sister maybe that's what Nadia also considers otherwise.

''Yes please.'' Joseph looked at Nadia's face and walked back.

''Have you never thought about continuing your education? you said you wanted to continue?'' Nadia shifted her feelings that felt erratic.

''Yes, I once thought about continuing it but now, maybe I won't do it, I'm leaving this boarding school now, I do not want to make you disappointed especially now that you are old enough I do not want to leave it, maybe the supplies of knowledge that I have got will be better if I give to the students here.'' Yusuf said, displaying his smile to Nadia.

''Yes I agree it would be better.''

''Yus,'' Nadia stopped her words and lowered her head.

''Yes?'' Asked Joseph who was unaware of Nadia's nervousness

Nadia who was a little nervous did not continue her conversation.

''Why, then,? Is there something you want to say?''

''Hmmm I don't know, I just want to give this to you.'' Nadia gave a paper fold and smiled.

''What is this?''

''Open it later, I say yes, I want to rest.''

Nadia passed by and went to her room where her room was side by side with the cottage office.

Nadia is not alone she is given the facilities to stay as well as other cottage teachers.

Joseph also walked and entered his house, not seen Abi Nadia maybe he had long gone home and brother was not in the family room may also be resting he immediately went up to his room.

''are you sure about all of it?'' Tanya ummi to the brother who sat in his bedroom.

''Yes, I am sure that before it was always like that, Joseph never denied what you expected.''

''But it's different, it's about Joseph's future.''

''Bah tau but abah also has not given any answer to Husein he also understood.''

''Ummi hope abah does not force Joseph if Joseph has his own choice.'' ummi also went from the room and went to the kitchen.

Ummi looks shocked when Yusuf who is sitting in the kitchen chair.

''You have come home, you are,''

''Yes ummi Yusuf has come home from earlier, Joseph is a little tired.''

‘’Rest rest ummi make you want tea?'' Joseph just nodded his head and walked away from his ummi and switched to calling adi which Yusuf believed to hold his company.

Yusuf is not only an ustadz, he is also involved in the shrimp pond business, although his company is still relatively small Yusuf continues to try to develop his business, according to his business is his hobby.

''You why? I noticed that from this afternoon you were silent not saying much, did you miss your father and mother?'' asked Arin in full search.

''No I like ko here I'm just a little dizzy, I want to sleep first yes, wake me up when later going to the mosque.'' Syifa also pulled her blanket to cover her tiny body she tried to close her eyes.

''I've just rested, I wanted to tell you that now you and I have a schedule to settle in your house.'' Arin explained.

every santri is always sharing the task of cleaning the house as a sign of his service to a teacher.

Syifa was a little surprised and woke up again,

''Oh, my God, I forgot about that.'' Syifa immediately sat down and tied her hair back up.

''Who are you sleeping just let me alone you are not feeling well, '' said Arini who wants to change clothes.

''Father ko I will settle anyways it is also my duty.''

Syifa immediately tidied up her clothes and put on a pasmina that she wrapped around her neck and went with Arin to clean up the house.

''Assalamualaikum.'' Greetings Syifa and Arin at the door of the house.

Joseph who heard the greeting opened the door immediately.

‘’Waalaikumusalam.'' Joseph remained silent, and he did not react until Arin spoke.

''Ustadz?''

''Oh yeah mmm what's up?'' asked Joseph in confusion.

''We're going to clean up Ustadz.''

''Oh come in!'' Joseph gave way for Arin and Syifa to enter his house.

While Syifa was following Arin, she did not care about Joseph, who at that time was fascinated by Syifa.

''Shyifa?'' Joseph called Syifa with some hesitation.

''Yes Ustadz?'' Arin who heard Syifa called Joseph Ustad walked away from them both.

''Do you not know aurat a muslimah?''

''What does Ustadz mean?'' Syifa who was a little shocked and confused asked back.

Joseph took a rough breath.

''Your veil try to wear the right one, it's not good not to close your aurat.'' With a little annoyed, Joseph walked away from Syifa who was silent.

''Ih. In part why the hell, when I want to finish having to wear mukena, the base Ustadz nyebelin Syifa also stomped her feet he was so upset because Ustadz Yusuf reprimanded him.

But Yusuf who saw Syifa was so upset he just smiled according to Syifa so adorable.

''I'm a ko!'' ledek Joseph behind Syifa's body.

Joseph who had left had intended to return because his cellphone was left in the chair.

''Ustadz.''

''Other times if you want to say Ustadz nyebelin look first, let Ustadz not horrified.'' Joseph laughed at Syifa, who was ashamed of her behavior.

''I know that nyebelin Ustadz, who's ashamed of it if I love Ust….'' Syifa did not continue her words she was shocked because she could not control what she said.

Syifa went and left Joseph with flowers.

''Really, does Syifa love me?'' joseph murmured in his heart.
