Ustadz Ridwan's Dream

185. When the Sky is Overcast

The afternoon sky today was clouded at some point, the sun that began to shuffle to the west of the light also became dim.

Iis opened three doors of her house to make it look wider.

The front room he used for tutoring children also looks to have been tidied up, from the carpet and also short tables where children put books, as well as the dashboard.

Iis standing on the porch of the house, staring out at the street in front there that looks empty.

Maybe soon it will rain, and if it rains before the children leave, then it could be the children who tutoring today will be allowed again.

Iis sighed, because suddenly she remembered the offer to teach private lessons at the place of Brother Bu Windi.

It felt that if Iis refused, like he was arrogant and did not receive sustenance.

But...

Iis sat on the terrace chair, glued to stare at the shady tree in his yard.

Yep...

Ridwan.

Iis of course remembered the words of Ridwan who asked him not to accept the offer to teach private lessons for the reason that his place was far away.

"Is..."

Mom's voice suddenly sounded calling Iis from the inside, Iis turned to look at Mother who was now following out and then sat on a long chair made of bamboo on the terrace of their house.

Mom sat next to Iis, looking at her beloved daughter with a smile growing.

"Mother why? How are you smiling?"

Ask her mother, Iis,

"Mom should ask, why are you? It's kind of bad if the kids say today."

Said Mom making Iis smile amusedly,

"There's nothing, ma'am,"

Iis.

Mom sighed, though,

"You are, does it seem easy to lie to me to say you're okay?"

Ask Mom.

Iis looks only silent, his eyes turned back to look at the road ahead there. The village road that now has a seller of cilok passing.

"Ridwan how are you?"

Ask Mom later,

It's sleepy.

"Mas Ridwan is healthy, ma'am. He was still busy taking care of the cottage that was just starting to be active,"

Iis.

"So did someone start coming in?"

"Already Ma'am, it seems like there are more than ten children, the housekeeper has also started the task of taking care of the children."

"So it's different from Abah yai's pesantren huh?"

Ask Mom.

"Beda Ma'am, it's like a dormitory, actually it's more like an Orphanage and a twofa, they live free, school, and learn to pay a salary."

"Ooh."

Mother-sleeping, mother-sleeping,

"So no charge at all?"

Ask Mom.

Iis nodded,

"No Ma'am, all operational costs are borne by the foundation of Mr. Sahudi, whose money is from the legacy of Mr. Sahudi, the management of the fields, and the contribution of his children. Later, if the foundation is growing by establishing a public school, then also the cottage more and more orphans and twofa who can be helped, one-on-one donors will definitely come ma'am."

Iis, said,

"Hopefully everything goes as expected, of course the late Mr. Sahudi will be very happy in nature if finally the treasure he left behind can really be useful,"

Iis nodded,

"InshaAllah Ma'am,"

"Mom want to cook egg omelet and spicy fried noodles, you want to be fried shrimp crackers not?"

Ask Mom to stand up.

"His shrimp is still to ma'am?"

Iis looked at her mother,

"Masih satu bungkus, nanti Ibu goreng."

Said Mother,

Iis nodded too.

**--------------**

And just as Iis was staring overcastly in the sky this afternoon, Anisa behind the window of her room on the second floor also looked the same.

His face was gloomy, unlike the usual bride-to-be.

There was no bright smile, no twinkle in both eyes.

Yep...

Of course this is because Anisa does not really love Vishnu, she chose Vishnu to be her husband because she wants to be able to get out of her parents' house without having to find another reason besides joining the husband.

Anisa chooses Vishnu as well because he is the only young man who easily gets the blessing of his family and will really be able to protect Anisa in many cases.

"Vishnu is the dream man of many girls, whoever the girl will surely be happy to be attracted by a young man like Vishnu."

The voice of Pak Haji Syamsul seems to be back.

"Where else would you get a young man with a package as complete as Vishnu, he's handsome, he's well mannered, he's kind, he's a dutiful kid, he's a successful businessman, he's also highly educated."

Pak Haji Syamsul somehow repeated those words in front of Anisa, as if he really wanted his daughter to think the same way with him.

That...

Married Vishnu is a fortune, and it is fitting that Anisa should be proud, should be happy, should feel to be a blessed girl.

Anisa walked away from the window and then stared at the white kebaya suit that looked so beautiful and beautiful.

The kebaya is applied to the mannequin placed in the room.

The day after tomorrow, her room will also start to be decorated, even this morning Anisa has also started to be stretched and massaged so that all the veins in her body are more relaxed.

Suppose that...

If the wedding that will be held soon is the marriage that he really wants because with the man he loves, maybe to undergo the entire ritual from today until later the procession on the day H, he said, Anisa will do it with excitement.

Anisa sitting on the edge of the bed, all the invitations have been spread, surely Ridwan has also received the invitation of Anisa who is deliberately Vishnu who takes care of everything.

Anisa sighed,

Yep...

The wedding invitation even Anisa finally decided not to include any names.

He left everything to Vishnu, about anyone who was invited to attend their wedding reception.

Anisa does not want to interfere, or rather Anisa does not want to come to think.

Right now, all Anisa wanted to focus on was to fully prepare herself not to undo the intention again.

Ah no, no,

Of course Anisa can't do it.

Vishnu does not deserve to be treated that way. He's a good guy. He's a good man.

Humiliating him, of course, is too evil for Vishnu.

Then...

Therefore, Anisa currently only wants to focus on preparing herself for the wedding that will be held, and also prepare for her days with Vishnu later after their contract day is completed.

Anisa was still sitting on the edge of the bed, her eyes were also still staring at the beautiful white kebaya.

Kebaya will be worn when the marriage contract later, deliberately ordered Bibik Sundari, Vishnu's mother, Anisa's future in-law, from a famous boutique outside the city.

It is clear, Vishnu and his family really love Anisa.

So, which favor should God else do you want to deny Nis?
