Ustadz Dream

Chapter 18

Night

All the santri and santriwati who are in the mosque as usual they perform the magrib prayer together because today on Monday night they will listen to the usual tausiah held once a week.

The curtain between santri and santriwati was opened by the mosque administrators. The santri and santriwati also sat down and prepared to listen to the tausiah that will be given by ustadz who will get a turn, and this time Ustadz Hanif will fill his tausiah event.

All the santriwati were so solemnly listening.

Syifa who listened to Ustadz Hanif's tausiah about marriage, she was so touched her eyes never separated from Ustadz Hanif until their gazes met.

''Ko I even deg-degan gini anyway, why my heart like to jump.'' Shifa murmured in the heart.

Hanif who was not aware of his gaze continued to be fixed on Syifa he also revealed his smile.

''Astagfirullah.'' he was a little nervous and resumed his language until it was finished.

Tausiah was finished and closed with a prayer together.

After praying santri and santriwati also rushed to return to their respective rooms, but Syifa was still silent in the mosque he still wanted to be there because he wanted to meet for a while. While Arin and the others they had already gone to his room.

Syifa who had finished his act he was shocked because Ustadz Hanif said his greetings behind the curtain between santri and santriwati.

''Assalamualaikum Syifa....''

''Stagfirullah Ustadz? Ustad surprised me.'' Said Syifa who was holding her chest in shock.

''Hail it?'' Hanif asked who was holding back his laughter.

''Waalaikumsalam Ustadz sorry, I'm surprised, Ustadz hasn't come out yet? I think Ustadz has returned Syifa replied innocently.

''So you were looking for me?'' tanya Hanif teases Syifa.

''No, I mean, I think I'm alone here.'' Syifa, who still uses her face, intends to pack her things.

''Actually, there is something I want to say, maybe this is not right especially in the mosque but I think maybe this is the time.''

Syifa did not reply she fell silent and listened to what Ustadz Hanif had to say.

.

Silent moment.

Hanif took a deep breath he ventured to convey his good intentions.

''Bismillah, I am Muhammad hanif alhisyam I would like to propose to you Syifa Nadira, would you be my future wife to be my companion Syifa? I hope you answer it now.''

Syifa was surprised by what he heard, before he had applied for Ustadz Yusuf indeed he had rejected his proposal but, now Ustadz Hanif proposed to him ''what should I say.'' Syifa was still speechless she was speechless.

''Syifa you heard me right?'' Hanif asked who was holding his heartbeat he was a little afraid if Syifa refused him but he would be more calm leaving this boarding school if he had known Syifa's answer.

''I hope you will answer Syifa, because tomorrow I will return to my residence, Abi I am sick either time I will return if you accept my proposal, she said, I will return to pick you up as my future wife.'' Hanif who held back his nervousness he tried to calm down.

''Ustad earlier I wanted to ask why Ustadz chose me? many women are better than me, Syifa asked nervously but this time she did not want to be wrong to decide what she would take.

''Many are more perfect, but we would be better off if we perfect each other, so would you accept my proposal?''

Syifa who felt the sincerity of Ustadz Hanif she could not refuse his proposal, although in the past when Ustadz Yusuf proposed to him he really wanted to say yes but somehow he was very difficult to answer it maybe this was the best decision.

Syifa took her breath, her slightly irregular breath made her feel nervous, her hands were cold and her body temperature felt very cold but her heart she could very well feel her beat like a great rumble.

Syifa took her breath back before she actually answered him.

''Bismillah I, Syifa Nadira accepted the proposal of Ustad Hanif.''

Hanif who heard clearly if Syifa accepted her proposal he was so happy, he was so impatient to immediately propose to her officially even to interfere with her.

While Syifa, she was happy maybe this was the best decision indeed in her little heart she still loved Joseph but maybe choosing Ustadz Hanif as her companion was a better decision, he said, let Ustadz Yusuf Just Ustadz his dream is not to be his companion.

''Thank you Syifa, I will be back to pick you up as my wife.'' Hanif shed his happy tears he was so moved.

''Take this prayer beads as a sign that you have received my Syifa, whenever it is used as gratitude we have found that God will always take care of you, Syifa, maybe tomorrow morning I will come back and maybe this is our farewell I hope you can keep my trust Syifa and may God bring us back.''

''Thank you, may Ustadz always be in His protection then I say goodbye to return to Ustadz room assalamualaikum.''

''Waalaikumusalam my future wife''

Hanif smiled as he immediately performed the sunnah prayer he was very grateful for what he heard today.

While Joseph saw all his heart was very sick, the friend who always accompanied him turned out to propose to someone he loved very much, he could not be selfish indeed Syifa had rejected his proposal he knew because Nadia was his proposal rejected, there was a feeling of anger, disappointment that enveloped his heart at this time but he realized it was his will.

Joseph approached Hanif, who finished praying, and patted his best friend on the shoulder.

''I'm happy that Syifa accepted your proposal.'' Joseph tried to give her a smile.

''I'm sorry, yus, not me...''

Hanif's words were cut off by Joseph telling him to stop apologizing.

''I know han, it's not your fault, like what you said everything is destiny, I'd be happier if he was with you happy was him and never you hurt him.'' Joseph went out from Hanif's presence he was relieved because he could contain his anger.

Joseph walked and went home.

From a distance he saw Syifa who was getting away like his love he could not reach him again. His love will never meet each other.

He also breathed in the cold night air.

''You're okay, right?'' Hanif asked who was now behind Yusuf.

Joseph slowly stopped, he looked at Hanif and smiled. ''I'm fine.'' Joseph patted Hanif on the shoulder and looked at the dark night sky.

''I hope you don't misunderstand me, I also can't help being honest from the first moment I saw her I admired but not just amazed I tried to forget her after I knew that you had proposed to her.''

''I'm happy if he's happy with you, I know you're not who you fear I don't think as you think.'' Joseph smiled and took a deep breath according to him their friendship was more important than the ego which would only destroy everything.

''Thank you yus, I will really take care and make it happy you do not have to worry.''

Syifa who had just entered his room was holding his chest.

He was very unsure of what happened tonight, he was very happy but on the other hand he was afraid that Ustadz Yusuf would be disappointed in him.

Arin and Desi who saw Syifa's strange behavior came to him.

''Hey Hey there seems to be a kasmaran nih.'' ledek Desi who showed her smile.

Syifa just smiled and walked over to her bed she had no intention of answering.

''News dong.''

Desi and Arin were really curious.

''Ssttt don't be noisy pity Arumi he's sleeping again.'' replied Syifa innocently.

''Party come-come already like a person possessed carefully this look is already night.'' Desi frowned because she did not immediately get an answer from Syifa.

''I'm in the lamar of Ustadz Hanif.'' Syifa also hugged her two best friends who just dumbfounded they really did not get out of thought with what Syifa said.

''Really syifa? you keep accepting?'' ask Arin who still does not believe.

''Yes, I accept, there is no harm in it.'' I think it's best that Ustadz Yusuf gets the best candidate as well.

''Ah I want to sleep.''

Syifa laid her body down and continued to hold the prayer beads that Ustadz Hanif gave her.

He really did not expect that Ustadz Hanif is very romantic.
