Ustadz Dream

Chapter 8

Three o'clock at night.

Joseph who awoke from his sleep immediately took a stand.

''Astagfirullah why I dream of that girl, forgive me God if I think of girls but I really fear if I am wrong.''

Joseph immediately took abudhu and immediately performed the tahajud prayer, because indeed the custom of abah that had been applied early on made Joseph easily perform the tahajud prayer in the midst of others who were still asleep.

After the prayer was finished Joseph prayed and asked for forgiveness for everything he did.

''Hamba inadvertently always thinks of his O Allah, I do not want if I always think of someone who is not lawful for me to think of, if he is not the one you chose for me servant please do not let the servant think of him, but if he is the one written for the servant, please be lawful for us.''

Joseph took his prayer beads and did zikr.

''Aaawww!'' there was an ummi groaning voice so clear from the kitchen.

Joseph realized that soon came down for fear that something might happen.

''Ummi? ummi what are you doing?'' yusuf asked who found his ummi in the kitchen.

''Ummi wants to heat the water, it looks like a fever. Ummi wants to make water compress but instead nudge the pan and fall to the feet of ummi.'' Said ummi who was holding the pot in her hand.

Yusuf immediately noticed the feet of Ummi who was hit by a frying pan. ''Is ummi okay?'' Ask Joseph who is a little worried.

''Thank God ummi's okay.''

Joseph went to Abah's room and left ummi who was still busy in the kitchen.

He looked like he was sleeping and shivering a little, but his body temperature was hot.

Ummi who came to bring water to compress the abah immediately sat down, and began compressing so that his body temperature immediately dropped.

''Yusuf take medicine first yes ummi, your body temperature is quite high.''

Ummi just nodded and focused on compressing.

Joseph immediately came out of the ummi room and went to the kitchen to take the medicine from the medicine box that was always ummi prepared.

Joseph returned to the ummi room with the medicine he would give to his Abah.

''Ummi this is the medicine, Yusuf want to go first to the mosque ya mi.''

because soon it will enter the dawn of time Yusuf immediately rushed to the mosque.

The situation of the mosque is starting to be crowded and there are some santri who are chanting the holy verse of the Qur'an.

The santri and santriwati began to enter the mosque to perform congregational dawn prayers, including Syifa who had come before the adhan reverberated.

Adhan reverberated and they forced prayer, and berzikir continued with the morning lecture that became the routine of boarding school.

At 06.00 all the santri and santriwati come out and start busy with various activities, there are busy preparing food there are also those who clean the yard and there are also those who clean the mosque all they do every day.

When Joseph was finished, he returned to his house, and on the way back Joseph saw Syifa, who was about to enter the kitchen.

''Why am I always fascinated when I see her, even that woman always makes me think about her in my silence she always teases my soul her face always even comes to my mind.'' Joseph in his heart.

''O Allah, is this a guide from You? but I do not want to be wrong in making a decision may You give me the amen way.

''Assalamualaikum ?''

''Waalaikumusalam. You're done yet? it seems like you will be taken to the doctor, the heat is not down, ummi who looks a little panicked because before Abah looks okay.

Abah, who had finished eating to fill his stomach, looked up at Joseph who was walking down the stairs.

''So, how do we go now?'' For perhaps Joseph would go to the madrassa to teach the children and no teacher could replace him. Yusuf gave his understanding to Abah.

''Let Adi alone among the brothers, ''' Adi who had just come from the kitchen suggested, indeed Joseph was a little preoccupied with the affairs of the madrassas and pesantren, indeed, since I gave full responsibility to him however, Yusuf never rejected what you give according to him everything you give must be able and because he was the first child of you so it is natural that you give a big responsibility that's him.

''Well, here's the car keys, if there's anything you can call Brother. Brother will bring a cell phone during teaching hours.''

Adi who had prepared also immediately departed with abah and ummi because seeing the condition of abah that was enough to make them worried.

At 07:00 all students and students attend madrasah because pesantren provide Islamic-based schools so there is no need for students or students to go far to school.

The bell reads the sign of entry, all the students have been sitting on their respective benches, Syifa who just started school in the madrasah was not so foreign because she was a class with her roommate.

The sound of footsteps heard from outside made all the students turn towards the door.

''Assalamualaikum, good morning everyone.'' Hail Joseph with a heavy voice echoing in the room.

‘’Waalaikumusalam wr.wb good morning also Ustadz.'' All the santri answered the greetings in unison.

Joseph, who had been sitting in his chair, took out sheets of paper and books.

''Here we come a new santriwati, please introduce yourself. Please!'' Yusuf told one of his new santriwati.

Syifa, knowing that it was for her, walked to the front of the room and introduced herself.

During the lesson hours Syifa did not pay much attention he even remembered what Arin said that Ustadz Yusuf already had a fiancee.

''Why do I think of Ustadz Yusuf anyway, why does Arin say that Ustadz Yusuf already has a fiancee, do I love Ustadz Yusuf? If only he was not an Ustadz maybe I had dated him maybe. ko I even thought that kayak anyway.'' syifa shook his head to expel the thoughts that were bothering him.

Tringg…!!

The hour of rest has arrived.

Syifa immediately tidied up the books that were strewn on her desk and started putting them in the bag.

''Our syifa to the canteen!'' take Arin to him.

''Can you, but you can keep me for a minute? I want to find a list of books that Ustadzah Nadia gave me.'' Syifa said looking at Arin, she hoped that Arin could help her again.

''Okay, that's an easy affair, but we go to the cafeteria first yuk I'm really hungry.'' Said Arin rubbed his queen's stomach.

Joseph had taught that he was not very focused, especially in front of him it was very clear how Syifa looked at him.

Strange girl, why do I think of her, when no woman looks at her like that, but why does she make me even more stubborn.

Joseph immediately came out of his room. He intends to buy food.

''Ustad Yusuf, do you want to go outside?'' Ustadzah asked Nadia as she looked at Ustadz Yusuf who was about to go outside.

''Oh yes, I want to go to the cafeteria I happen to be a little hungry, '' said Ustadz Yusuf kindly.

''Can I go to Ustadz?Coincidentally I also want to go to the cafeteria, '' said Nadia.

Ustadzah Nadia and Ustadz Yusuf is always close because it was since childhood Ustadzah Nadia lived in the pesantren Nurul Huda, father and mother Ustadzah Nadia is a close friend of ummi and abah even ummi and abah consider Ustadzah Nadia like their own child.

And because of their closeness also not a few who talk that Ustadzah Nadia is a candidate from Ustad Yusuf.
