Ustadz Dream

Chapter 38

Syifa who was feeling sad because since ashar he just stayed in his room, making him a little bored, he walked outside to breathe the air the night before the sisters came out of the mosque.

A very soothing atmosphere for him, he took a deep breath and let it out slowly he felt the air so cold entering his respiratory cavity, the gust of wind so cold it felt so piercing to the bone.

Syifa turned her gaze to the sky that was already very dark with stars scattered up there, occasionally she closed her eyes and smiled to feel the silence of the night that made her really like the atmosphere of the night in the boarding school.

Soon a boisterous sound was heard from the direction of the mosque, because the santri and santriwati who would return to their rooms.

Syifa was just silent in front of her room intending to wait for her three best friends.

The sound of footsteps getting closer, Syifa turned her body towards the sound. It turned out that it was the three friends who had just returned from the mosque.

''You're still waking up Syifa, I thought you were asleep.'' Sahut Desi who walked with a step that looks not excited.

''I am lonely there are no you, '' said Syifa who followed Desi's footsteps who entered her room.

Arin and Arumi are seen storing their mucus, while Desi looks very sleepy and sure enough she immediately laid her body on the mattress.

''Do you want to go straight to sleep?'' tanya Syifa looked at Arin and Arumi

While Arin he was busy with books in his closet.

Arumi who looks limp, ''indeed you haven't been sleepy Syifa?'' asked Arumi who was looking at her best friend.

''No, why would you sleep?'' Syifa was pouting because her two friends seemed to be really sleepy.

''Yes you guys just sleep, but many stories that I want to tell you' said Arin who looks a little upset.

''We're out yu fa.'' Take Arin who walked out first.

Syifa followed Arin, who walked ahead of her.

Syifa circulated her gaze in front of the park that was quite spacious, she breathed in the air that she liked more and more, the atmosphere she always missed when the night greeted.

He saw the figure of someone who was about to pass through it, because indeed the lighting that was not too bright made him stop for a moment to wait until the person before him passed through.

The closer the footsteps were, the more he felt a heartbeat that made him a little nervous, yes, Ustadz Yusuf was the one who walked in the park because it was the only path for his return home had to pass through the park.

Syifa felt her whole body stiff, she could not move her legs as Joseph looked at her and walked past her again.

Syifa felt something different about Ustadz Yusuf, she did not even display her smile as she always did when she passed him, her heart ached a little when she accepted Joseph's treatment which felt very cold to her.

However, Syifa realized if it was herself who had created a barrier for him and Ustadz Yusuf, she knew the decision she had taken by choosing Ustadz Hanif made her unable to re-elect, his heart must really be arranged to love who will be his companion later, although he also does not know who will be his companion later, at least he does not play tricks on the feelings of others, but he does not play tricks on others, moreover, Ustadz Yusuf was his own teacher in this hut.

Arin, feeling that Syifa was not behind him, went back to seek Syifa.

''Sorry, besides you the way is very fast, if that's not like we enjoy the night air, but kayak in pursuit of the devil knows.'' Syifa pressed her lips, in fact she did not really say that but, she did not want Arin to know what she was thinking.

Arin pulled Syifa's arm slightly tight and dragged her to a chair not far from where they were standing.

''Fa you know, you are very lucky.'' Said Arin who looked at the night sky.

''Lucky what is Arin? You are not clear, said Syifa who looked at her best friend.

''Yes, you are lucky to have a father and mother who love you so much, plus there is Ustadz again who loves you, you are perfect fa, I envy.''

''Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh? you are also lucky, you have intelligence above me, you always win lessons in our class.'' Syifa felt bad for Arin's words.

''You know, my mother has passed away since I sat in the Elementary School and my father, she was always busy with her work, and also my stepmother who never gave her affection, I always hoped that my stepmother would love me the way she loves me my sisters.'' Arin did not take his eyes off the sky, he continued to look at her with a sad gaze, Syifa can feel what Arin feels, because he also experienced the longing of affection from both parents.

Syifa rubbed Arin's back slowly and hugged her she hoped Arin could calm down a little.

''Syifa thank you yes, you are always there for me.'' Say Arin with reddened eyes. Arin tried to hold back the pool of tears that were about to come out of his eyes, but Arin was not that strong, still his tears spilled he felt tightness in his chest. Only the tears that came out represented his feelings now.

Syifa who tried to calm Arin, she could not help herself not to cry, but seeing her best friend who was sobbing made her heart hurt.

They embrace each other, shedding the feeling they have been feeling all along.

Arin who was calm enough he took off his embrace, and wiped away the trace of tears on his cheek.

''Do you cry anyway? I am the sad one.'' Arin chuckles while crying.

Syifa just smiled and pursed her lips because of Arin's words.

''I am also sad, Ra, '' Syifa replied with a distinctive tone that had run out in tears.

They also spend a few minutes out there to calm their thoughts and feelings.

.

Joseph, who had reached his house, said his greetings and closed the door again, but there was no reply from within, maybe his abah and ummi were in the room thought Joseph who switched up the stairs to go to his room.

Joseph lay down his body on the bed, recalling Syifa's plain face as he passed by her before he returned home. His heart indeed refused to be cold to him, but his mind was not. He must be able to completely forget Syifa, because his purpose is now only to live the mandate of his brother, the rest he will leave back to God.

Joseph also woke up from his sleep His mind began to remember the figure of a woman who had until now had his heart he did not want if his efforts would be in vain he also walked up to the table in his room and opened his laptop, he received an email from Adi who returned to report the delivery data.
