Ustadz Ridwan's Dream

89. Between Two Love

"So, have you decided to go home?"

Vishnu asked as soon as Anisa expressed her desire to go home today.

Anisa seemed to nod,

"Yes Nu, I just go home, I think that somehow I have to go home, I've been a burden here for too long."

Said Anisa.

Vishnu looked shaken, though,

"Nobody felt burdened by Nisa,"

Vishnu.

Anisa briefly smiled, this is the umpteenth smile after some time staying at the house of Vishnu and finally they became close.

"Want me to take you now?"

Vishnu asked finally, Anisa nodded.

"I'll get the bag first."

Said Anisa who then rushed towards her room.

Vishnu then came out of the house to wait for Anisa there.

Anisa picked up the paper bag in the room containing the clothes, after which she came out again from the room.

Outside the room has been waiting for the Mbok whose eyes are glazed, although there has not been a matter of one month, but the Mbok felt so sad when he heard Anisa would come home.

"Healthy, Miss Nisa."

Said the Mbok,

Anisa nodded while greeting the Mbok.

"Maturnuwun Mbok for everything, forgive Anisa who is a lot of trouble and maybe there are things that Mbok does not like, both behavior and speech Mbok nggih."

Said Anisa

The mbok so shed tears,

"Mboten Mbak Nisa, even mbok who should apologize if during his stay here mbok less than the maximum serving mbak Anisa,"

Anisa quickly shook her head, though,

"No Mbok, absolutely not. Mbok is very good, even sometimes Anisa embarrassed herself because she was so considerate and caring for Nisa."

Anisa so teary-eyed staring at the face of the mbok, middle-aged woman who some days so painstakingly take care of it.

After feeling quite farewell, Anisa also headed out of the house following Vishnu who had been waiting for him on the terrace.

"Mbok, go first."

Vishnu said as soon as Anisa came out accompanied by the mbok.

The mbok nodded slowly, Vishnu then accompanied Anisa to walk towards the car, and as usual Vishnu opened the door for Anisa.

Anisa, like most women, who every attention and care so well by a man, then gradually his heart began to feel comfortable.

Although...

Nah! Anisa's heart tried to resist.

Not if he had to admit that he had started falling for Vishnu as well.

Yes, there was no way his heart would change that quickly. It was impossible for his heart to turn away so quickly.

Anisa only feels comfortable because Vishnu is good, that's it, nothing more. Inner Anisa.

Vishnu sat behind the wheel and started the engine of his car.

At a glance Anisa looked at Vishnu who was sitting next to her and began to drive his car to leave the courtyard of the house.

The housekeeper opened the turnstile and appeared to bend politely as soon as Vishnu's car passed through the fence.

Vishnu said, Anisa nodded slowly.

The girl fixed her hijab while then staring at the streets out there that were seen starting to crowded people open a five-foot stall.

Pecel lele, tofu pletok, martabak, angkringan, nasi goreng to sate ayam, as if the scenery is prevalent on the streets of all regions in Indonesia when the afternoon arrives.

Where when many shops have closed, then they will enliven the road and provide the food needs of people who are confused looking for dinner.

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

Just as Anisa is now staring at the streets out there, Ridwan looks in the car that will take her home to the hometown is also busy staring at the road that passed their car.

Although, in contrast to Anisa who could see many street vendors, the road Ridwan saw was filled with large vehicles speeding because it was on the highway.

The capital was far behind where they left off, but it felt, Ridwan's chest was still beating faster than usual.

He is fully aware if he has received a very big trust at this time.

Ridwan leaned his body on the back of the car seat, still with both eyes that like can not be separated from staring at the road.

Soon he will be seen to have a foundation that houses tahfidz houses and also a cottage that is intended for children can not afford.

Ridwan will also manage the assets given to support the foundation as part of the trust.

Surely, in front of there the test will be more severe. The test because there will be many people praise, many people know, and many people respect.

This test is a much more severe test actually if not to be able to control yourself from pride and also riya.

Ridwan then remembered how Pak Haji Syamsul again, who spoke harsh words and full of contempt to Mbak Wening.

Ridwan also recalled how when Pak Haji Syamsul humiliated Ridwan during a meeting of the mosque youth formation.

Astarghfirullah...

Ridwan's heart hurriedly beristighfar, fearing that he will take revenge on his heart, which will make his heart dark, making his heart will be easily overpowered by pride when he is in a position.

Ridwan quickly tried to wash his heart with many more beristighfar.

And when he remembered Anisa's face, he immediately reminded himself to forget it immediately.

Yes, after the event that so hurt her heart, hurt her family too, Ridwan was the one who originally dreamed of having a household with Anisa so think twice.

Ridwan clearly did not want, every time there was Anisa, then his family would feel heartache again.

After all, Ridwan is a boy in the family, his duty is to defend and put the family first.

Although his love must be sacrificed, of course Ridwan must be willing.

Suppose that... If the insult was only directed at him, maybe Ridwan just would make it a whip to be more successful.

But...

Unfortunately Pak Haji Syamsul, as the father of Anisa just drag Mbak Wening into his accusations of extraordinary evil.

So now, Ridwan's dream is to prove to Pak Haji Syamsul and all those who underestimate the children of boarding school graduates.

Ridwan wants them to see that children who graduate from boarding school can also be successful.

Children pesantren not only can rely on donations to build a teaching place, but also sometimes the sustenance comes by itself without us asking for it.

Ridwan also wants Pak Haji Syamsul no longer look down on pesantren children, especially on the scholars who have established pesantren on this earth.

They are very meritorious, even in the struggle to maintain independence, many santri who died joined the war.

Ridwan was heartbroken because the insult was not only on the person of Ridwan, but also on the boarding school where he studied so loved.

He as a child of pesantren graduates, highly uphold the honor of pesantren as a place where scholars teach knowledge to people in order to be religious properly.

Yes, is it not a waste of worship without knowledge?

So that's why Pesantren is the place that provides the most knowledge for us to learn the worship system, besides of course learning many other things.

Ridwan sighed, his chest feeling tight all of a sudden. His love is actually so great for Anisa, but compared to his love for pesantren where he knows religion better, of course it is not comparable.
