Ustadz Dream

Chapter 19

''Assalamualaikum.'' Joseph opened the door to his house and was shocked when his brother was sitting in the guest chair.

''Hasn't he slept?'' joseph asked and greeted his brother.

''Waalaikumusalam, you do not want to talk to you yet.'' replied you relaxed and told Joseph to sit down.

''Yes, what do you want to say, what about the matchmaking again?'' joseph asked a little guessing.

''That I will not force you, you have already proposed Syifa to you now all the decisions are in your hands, you and ummi just a little worried if Nadia act back, moreover, she blatantly said that she loves you.''

''What do you want me to be like now? Abi Husein by himself asked me to marry him immediately could you give me a little room bah,'' lirih Yusuf he really cannot think because someone he loves so much has now chosen his own best friend.

''Not that you do not want to, but when you will immediately make a decision, this abah is old and maybe this pesantren you will continue all abah has handed over to you yus.''

Yusuf who understands his feelings but this time it is true what he said abah he should not be selfish, he knows if to his concern abah it is clear.

''I will soon marry Nadia bah.'' that answer escaped her mouth.

''Did you not hear wrong? What about Syifa? Do you not love Syifa? and I think you love each other, I hope you are not wrong in making a choice.''

''I will marry Nadia bah but.'' Yusuf's speech stopped her tongue feels stiff to say it.

''But what? Has Syifa answered her proposal?'' Abah asked with a little seriousness and felt that it was impossible for Syifa to reject his proposal.

''Syifa rejected my proposal that, '' Joseph was downcast he loved Syifa very much and he was very hopeful Syifa would accept him but what power he now chose his best friend.

While the brother who knew Joseph's feelings he took a breath and rubbed Joseph's shoulder as if reminding all that would be fine.

''It just doesn't want to if you're wrong in choosing yus, but this is all your decision will support what you think is best.'' Abah smiled and rubbed Joseph on the shoulder.

''God willing, if Nadia is my soul mate God willing, everything will have its way, I just pray whoever it is will be my soul mate may she be a sholeh woman.''

''Aamiin yus abah prayer will always be with you, yes you have rested too many burdens that you carry alone.''

Abah rubbed Joseph's shoulders and passed into his room.

Joseph went up to his room and he did not want to tell him why Syifa could not accept his proposal because he himself did not expect the reality to be like this.

Hanif who was blooming, he was very happy he wanted to immediately bring Syifa and introduce her to his ummi and Abi he could not wait to immediately formalize his proposal.

Hanif is the only child of the Abi Abdullah family and ummi kulsum he is of Arab descent because Abi Abdullah is of Arab descent and married to ummi kulsum which is native to Indonesia and they settled in Indonesia.

Abi Abdullah founded a pesantren larger than Joseph's, but Hanif never told Joseph that, he from childhood always go to the outside to seek experience and extensive knowledge by itself Abi Abdullah who supports it himself, he wants if hanif to be an independent male figure.

Adhan dawn has been gathering all santri and santriwati already in the mosque to perform congregational prayers.

Hanif also followed the morning prayers together with other Ustadz.

After everything was done he immediately went out and went to his room he intended to go to the cafeteria first to prop his stomach and went to his house to say goodbye home.

Abah who had returned to his house as usual ummi always welcomed him and regretted that he did not forget ummi served a cup of warm coffee his favorite and a little snack in the morning.

Tok....

''Assalamualaikum.'' greeting Hanif at the door of the house abah.

Ummi who heard someone say hello, he immediately approached the door and opened it.

''Waalaikumusalam, son Hanif come please come in son!'' ummi asked Hanif to sit in the front seat while waiting for her brother.

Abah came and sat in front of Hanif.

''Tumben early in the morning what's up, son?'' Ask Abah who questions the arrival of Hanif who does not usually come at a very early morning.

''I want to say goodbye, ummi I want to go home first because I got news if Abi is sick now, ''' Hanif explained his arrival.

Ummi and the brother who heard Hanif's explanation understood, they only smiled because Hanif was very polite.

''Okay but sometime if you want to go back come, you don't have to hesitate, the door of this cottage will always be open for you, and say my greetings to Abi and your ummi may your Abi soon get aamiin cure.'' said my brother to Hanif.

''Well ummi, my brother said assalamualaikum.'' Hanif also greeted ummi and abah who are very respectable as to ummi and Abi themselves.

‘’Waalaikumsalam.''

Hanif got out of his house and immediately left in his own car.

Yusuf who had learned of Hanif's departure he again took over teaching at the madrasah because indeed the teaching workforce at the madrasah was all done by pesantren teachers.

At 06:00 all the students and santriwati came out of the mosque, and as usual they did their devotional work to clean the mosque and pesantren area.

Syifa who is currently part of cleaning the house with Arumi, she immediately went to the house.

The gaze of Nadia who saw where Syifa went she was so upset she hated Syifa who according to her she always looked for the face of brother and ummi.

He was eager to destroy Syifa but after what he had done he would easily be kicked out of the pesantren, even made sure he would not get the opportunity back. ''I have to be even more careful to face the boy.'' Nadia's cunning grin that never gets tired she will really stop until what she wants is achieved.
