Ustadz Dream

Chapter 20

Hanif runs his car at medium speed he does not want to be too rushed because safety should be prioritized.

The journey from Bandung to where he lived in Banten did take a fairly tiring time can take 6 hours for the trip is even more, is even more, depending on road conditions and weather because Hanif occasionally pulled over to the rest area to rest.

Syifa and Arumi, who were at the door of the house, knocked on the door.

Tok.dok....

''Assalamualaikum.'' greetings Syifa and Arumi in front of the door of the house abah.

Ummi who was cooking he heard a knock on the door, ummi immediately went to the door and opened the door.

''Waalaikumsalam, son Syifa, Arumi come on in, you guys schedule help ummi huh?'' ask ummi kindly.

''Iya ummi.'' said Arumi answered his question.

''Do you guys come in by chance there is Syifa, son Syifa want to help ummi cook?'' tanya ummi to Syifa because it was Syifa making porridge for abah and abah like it.

''Can ummi really cook what?'' asked Syifa enthusiastically.

Arumi takes over to clean up her brother's house while Syifa helps ummi to cook.

Syifa also helps ummi to make fried fish, she peels some seasoning for fried fish while ummi cleans the fish.

''It's ready ummi.'' Syifa who had finished making the seasoning for her fried fish then smeared her fish and started frying it.

The smell of the fried fish spread to Joseph's room.

Yusuf who was cleaning the boarding school he felt his stomach a little hungry because of the delicious aroma of fried fish.

He immediately tidied up his file and immediately went down to the kitchen, he was very excited because he felt very hungry.

''Ummi cook fried fish yes, very fragrant mi.'' Joseph who began to enter the kitchen was surprised because he saw Syifa cooking the fried fish.

''Shyifa.'' Joseph was stunned he could not say he was very happy when he saw Syifa who was in the kitchen but, he recalled Syifa had been proposed by his own friend.

''Ustadz find ummi huh?'' ummi was ahead to buy other vegetables from the vegetable mang which happened to pass by.'' Syifa explained.

''Oh well.'' lf you have not accepted Hanif's proposal I sincerely hope you will accept the proposal I would have said myself if only, ''' Joseph spoke inwardly.

''Ustadz?'' ask Syifa back.

''Oh yes.'' Joseph who even daydreamed he did not realize instead continued to remain silent there.

''Syifa I'm happy you've accepted Hanif's proposal.''

Degh, when Syifa's heart stopped he felt the pain that Ustadz Yusuf felt because in his little heart he loved Ustadz Yusuf very much but, maybe this is the best.

''Thank you Ustadz.'' Syifa revealed her smile, how a little fragile her heart was this time. He felt he had lied to Ustadz Hanif, but he did not want to hurt Ustadz Yusuf more.

''May you be a perfecting couple, I will be happy if I see you happy Syifa.''

Syifa who heard that she could not hide her tears, her heart was not as strong as she thought. He wept and immediately wiped it off and showed Joseph his smile, not wanting Joseph to see himself weeping.

But his tears could not be hidden from Joseph.

''Why are you crying Syifa? Don't you love Hanif? Answer Syifa? Do you really love her? Joseph really wanted to hear it.

''Then why did you accept it?'' marriage should be based on love you know that right?'' Joseph gave his opinion.

''Maybe to love we can be decisive but for a soul mate I can not determine to whom we will mate.'' Syifa lowered her head she knew the meaning of Joseph's question.

Because it is for the moment, he has not really been able to love Hanif even maybe he will learn to love her but if Hanif is a written soul mate he will try to love her after she is married or after she completely forgets Ustadz.

''Is that how you look? Joseph laughed, but his heart was very sad, and he did not know what answer he would hear.

''Ustad I apologize if I have hurt Ustadz, but honestly I don't want if I ruin Ustadz's relationship with Ustadzah Nadia I think this is the right decision I hope Ustadz will be able to forget me and get a better wife.'' Syifa was unable to speak anymore she was afraid that the more she spoke she would hurt Ustadz Yusuf more.

Joseph was silent and he clearly knew why Syifa had rejected him, and he smiled and went back to his room.

When Ummi was finished he returned to the kitchen, he did not hear what Syifa was talking about with Joseph.

''Wah it seems very tasty, Yusuf must love your fried fish Syifa.'' Ummi who immediately brought the plate.

Ummi also arranged the fish and immediately served various foods at the dining table.

Syifa and Arumi who have finished their permission to leave their room because it is already at half 7 they will prepare to go to the madrasah.

''Eat here Syifa first, Arumi anyways you have not eaten.'' Ummi.

''No need to ummi, it seems we eat in the pesantren kitchen just ummi.'' Arumi agreed to Syifa's words.

But at the same time my brother came and told Syifa and Arumi to eat together. They could not refuse the request of his master teacher, so they ate together.

''Yusuf, Adi let's go down to eat!'' Ummi screamed from downstairs.

Joseph and Adi sat down together.

Adi who is a quiet figure does not talk much and sits side by side with Yusuf.

While Joseph was a little nervous because Syifa was there, he was very nervous even though he already knew that Syifa was in his house.

Abah and Ummi who saw Joseph's behavior they smiled, they really hope if their children soon have a partner.

''If only our children already have a wife how complete our family.'' Sahut abah who does not know if Syifa has received Hanif's application.

Uhuk....

Syifa and Joseph choked together they did not expect what you said.

Abah and Ummi smiled while Arumi who knew the meaning of the words abah he also felt if abah wanted Syifa and Ustadz Yusuf together.

''Drink son, '' ummi gives water to Syifa,

Joseph immediately took the water that was in front of him.

Adi, who had finished breakfast first, had not prepared the documents to be signed by Joseph, he immediately climbed the stairs without much talking.

After finishing eating Syifa and Arumi clean the dining table and say goodbye to immediately go to their room.

''That's why Joseph and Syifa were tempted, pity that they were so coughing so hard.''

''They just want to know their feelings mi, ummi see if they are very harmonious.'' Abah smiled, remembering the incident, he was very hopeful that Joseph would soon have a companion.
