Ustadz Dream

Chapter 7

''Why should Ustadz Yusuf, I am so ashamed if he sees me.'' Syifa said in her heart, she was very anxious if Ustadz Yusuf saw her existence.

''Assalamualaikum warohmatullahi wabarokatuh.''

''Waalaikumusalam warohmatullahiwabarokatuh.''

The opening ceremony was started and all the santri and santriwati who attended carefully listened very solemnly.

Syifa was so attentive to everything that came out of the mouth of Ustadz Yusuf, what he said was so beautiful that he forgot about the shame he felt, Syifa also kept staring at Ustadz Yusuf who was giving his tausiya.

''How handsome Ustadz Yusuf is, if he does not have a partner I want to be his future wife, Syifa said in his heart, he kept looking at him without paying attention to what Ustadz Yusuf said because he was so fascinated. Until their eyes meet each other.

''Astagfirullah what I did.'' Syifa who was shocked she immediately covered her face with a book because she was so embarrassed, her heartbeat that felt so rumbling unbecoming made her a little nervous.

Joseph who realized the behavior of his students was just to smile and resume his tausiyya.

After a few hours passed, finally the tausiyah event was finished and continued praying isya congregation.

Many santri and santriwati who repeat their ablution because they feel their ablution has been canceled, Syifa went to the ablution place to repeat his ablution and rushed back to the prayer line.

After the prayer is finished the santri and santriwati go home to their respective rooms because the clock has also shown at nine o'clock.

''I'm so sleepy.'' Syifa who is not used to sleeping too late, he some yawn, even his eyes that already look red because of the drowsiness that attacks he was used to sleeping in the early hours of the night.

''It's also new at nine.'' Timpal Arini who is still wrestling with his books, while Arumi who went to the bathroom and Desi who had gone straight to sleep maybe because of soy sauce.

''Yes, I do not usually sleep in the night hours, usually I have beautiful dreams.'' Syifa also stretched out her arms and legs because she felt sore all over her body.

''Well, not a dong story.'' Sahut Arin who hopes if Syifa does not sleep directly.

''What do you want to tell me, it's night.'' Syifa felt a little astonished and pulled out a blanket to cover her body.

''I want to ask Syifa.''

''I asked what about what?'' Syifa answered Arin's question, but her eyes were closed.

''What do you think Ustadz Yusuf is?''

''What's how?'' syifa did not understand Arin's question.

The drowsiness that had been approaching him was now felt lost after Arin asked Ustadz Yusuf, did Arin have feelings for Ustadz Yusuf?'' syifa wondered.

''How is that? I noticed from earlier you smile at Ustadz Yusuf, said Arin with a full glance.

''No, maybe it was your feeling?'' Syifa tried to divert Arin's conversation, because she herself did not know what feelings there were, whether it was just awe or because of shame, because Syifa had never had a lover before.

''Surely though? so you don't like Ustadz Yusuf?'' ask Arin who started teasing Syifa.

Syifa was just silent she was trying to go back to sleep.

''Do you really like it? the proof is that you are not sleepy anymore, hear the name Ustadz Yusuf.'' Arin does not stop teasing Syifa who looks wrong.

''Yes if I like it, it is natural that he is handsome rin, '' Syifa replied flatly and covered her face with a blanket.

''Oh yes, but be careful in love, he said if Ustadz Yusuf already had a fiancee.'' Arin reminded, he stared in disbelief at Syifa.

While Syifa he felt that it was none of his business.

''Yes it's already a stock of good-looking Ustad Yusuf kayak ko, I want to sleep well dah.'' Syifa again pulled the blanket back to cover her entire face so that Arin did not continue to invite her to chat.

''But did Ustadz Yusuf have a fiance? but the new fiancee is not married yet, anyways why I have to think about Arin's talk anyway.'' Syifa grumbled to herself.

He immediately closed his eyes to fall asleep.

Arumi who just came out of the bathroom he had heard Syifa and Arin conversation.

''Why haven't you slept rin?'' Arumi turned towards Syifa who seemed to be trying to sleep.

''Just want to, let's sleep later we have bad luck.'' Arin lies down and tries to sleep.

Joseph who had just returned to his house he found no one, he also walked up the stairs to enter his room, but his steps stopped because it sounded new to answer his greetings.

''Waalaikumusalam''

''You just returned Joseph ?''

Joseph looked up at Abah and stood up.

''Ah, haha, aren't you asleep? It's the night you have to rest.'' Yusuf said with respect.

''That I can't sleep anyways and there's something I want to talk to you about.''

Joseph who saw the look on his face that looked serious, he went back down the stairs and sat on a chair.

''What would you like to say?''

Joseph was sitting in a chair facing his Abah because he thought there would be serious talk.

''Yus Abah want to titip pesantren same you, abah think it is possible for the future of this pesantren will you also hold, you should have to learn from now, you should learn from now, and I want you to focus first on this pesantren. Everything you do is what you want if you continue this. A very hopeful son.

Yusuf took a deep breath, he knew his intentions, even if he had to hold the pesantren intact he was not fully ready, but he did not want to let his Abah down.

''Joseph will try his best for the boarding house, whatever you want Joseph will try to run it, but Joseph also asks for time, Joseph must also control the company Joseph may occasionally review directly. Yes, although the office will be handed over to Adi for a while.''

Joseph was very hopeful that his Abah could understand his position now.

''That you know and that's up to you, but I hope you can believe.''

Abah patted Joseph on the shoulder and smiled at him.

''Yes bah, thank you for understanding me as well, it's already night you have to rest.'' Said Joseph, who was about to get up from his seat.

''yus.''

As soon as Joseph who was about to stand undo his intentions, he again looked at the figure of the face of his Abah who had raised him.

''Do you have a candidate?''

''Why bah? Joseph needed time for that Joseph hoped you could understand Joseph.''

''Iya abah know, but you are quite mature, you want you immediately have a son-in-law to abah and get married soon, it is better than you are alone.'' Abah reminded.

''Joseph will bring a son-in-law to Abah, and he will introduce when the time comes.''

Joseph tried to give understanding, because all this time you always ask him to get married.

''When? later there you hunt first with Adi, I hope soon.'' Joseph was full of hope.

''Well Bah, if so Yusuf wants to go to the room first Joseph wants to rest bah, abah also rest is not good sleep too night for health abah.''

Joseph immediately went to his room and changed his clothes.

''Well.....''

ummi who was going to sleep, but she heard what you and Joseph were talking about, she approached her husband who was sitting in a chair.

''Why does Joseph continue to do so? it may be true what Joseph said there was a time for him to introduce his candidate, I wish him all the best.'' Ummi rubbed her husband's back, knowing full well what Abah was thinking.

''When tau abah was too pushy but, b abah always thought about what Kyai Husein said mi, he asked that Joseph be betrothed to his daughter, he asked, abah did not want to force abah would if Joseph did want someone with his will not because of compulsion mi. It is said that you feel guilty for always urging Joseph.

''When will you tell Joseph all that? Ummi thought I was saying about the match.''

''Maybe next week, you will tell Joseph that, you do not want Joseph burdened with this problem. Because you do not know if Joseph will accept his proposal or vice versa, abah only wants Yusuf to focus on managing the pesantren first which should be indeed the answer Yusuf in front of his ummi.''

''Yes abah right.whatever is best according to abah ummi will support him, then let's break this late at night.''

Abah and Ummi immediately entered the room despite being strict with their children, but you still respect the decision that will be taken by their children
