Like last night, Zahwa would sleep hugging Akhtar's shirt. Akhtar's distinctive body odor attached to the shirt became a cure for his longing on the husband.
It has been 1 week Akhtar can not be contacted. During that time Zahwa felt his days were not as happy as when Akhtar was with him. But it was fortunate that he had in-laws like Umi, who understood and loved him.
Every day they spend their free time trying new recipes. After that, eat it yourself. If the cooking is more, Umi will ask one of the santri to deliver it to the office of the Ustadz wa Ustadzah and distribute it there.
Already a lot of food they make and yes.it is very fun to get rid of boredom in Zahwa. Because Akhtar forbade him to teach and go out, so he just kept silent at home.
"If only I could teach like I used to, maybe I wouldn't get bored playing with my students" she thought.

It was 2 weeks after Kiyai Kholid's departure for good. But somehow Akhtar hasn't come home yet, making a lot of negative thoughts pop into his head.
Tonight he slept with anxiety. I don't know what's going to happen tomorrow.
Buya was in the room wanting to open a book in front of him. But his hand stopped as his phone rang.
His eye brows raised looking at the name on the phone screen. After that Buya shifted the green icon.
Buya listened to every complaint that someone said there. Buya also talked a lot with him making people who listen to become worried and feel guilty.
Buya provides a solution to the problem they are talking about. And quickly the man agreed. Makes Buya breathe a sigh of relief.

Next morning..
As usual he will help Umi clean up and cook. After that he will join Umi to fill the study of mothers here.
They left at 11am, and finished at 3pm. Umi was still there because she was talked to by the study mothers.
Zahwa said goodbye first because he did not like to get together to talk about things that had no benefit.
And Umi is actually the same. But yes, to appreciate it, it is not good to refuse the invitation of the mothers.
30 Minutes later, Umi returns home.
Zahwa went downstairs and saw Umi sitting down and calling a woman. Lama Umi chatted, to the extent that Zahwa felt it was considered non-existent.
Zahwa could only duck down and squeeze both his hands on his knees. After a while Umi was done calling and Umi announced to the room.
After 15 minutes, the front door was knocked.
Tok.dok...
"Assalamu'alaikum's chat..." Speak a voice that Zahwa does not know from the outside.
Tok.dok..
"Yes. Just sec.." Zahwa walked open the door.
Tok.dok..
Only half the door opened, her face beaming at the sight of her husband before her. He shut his mouth in disbelief. She widened her door and immediately her smile dimmed to see a woman beside her husband.
They stood close. Making Zahwa's eyes turn to look at the woman's hand that encircled Akhtar's arm, Her husband .
His cheeks were heating up, his eyes were beginning to condense, his chest tight. It is very difficult to breathe at this time. He really did not understand who this woman was. And how dare he hold the hand of a man who is clearly married. And it? Whahuh? Why is Akhtar silent? Why is he ordinary?
Don't say this is in line with what he's thinking.
"Son.who is da-" Umi's voice resuscitated her from her daydream.
"I-it's Umi-"
"Aahhh...Have you come?? Come on.ayoo come in.nak.why not brought in" Not yet finished Zahwa speaking. Umi cut it off.
The look on the face of this middle-aged woman was really very sparkling to see the arrival of the two of them.
"Son.brought a drink yes.they must be tired" pinta Umi.
Holding back the tears that would have escaped her container, Zahwa nodded then passed into the kitchen .
He leaned his body against the wall. Instantly, those tears fell with a tightness in his chest.
He beat his chest hoping it would decrease. He closed his mouth to hold the stuffing coming out.
'Oh Allah.What is this?? Was it because I couldn't be with me for more than 2 months. My husband can't resist and look for another woman there? What's my fault? Why did this happen to me..??it is not we who want to be separated like this, but why so O God...'
"Hiks.hiks..."
'No.no...'
"Hiks.hiks.."
'no..'
"Hiks.hiks.."
'no.'
"Hiks..!!!!!!!"
"Son.nak..wake up son.sayang.wake up.."
"MUCH..."
"Oh Allah.it turned out to be just a dream." murmured Zahwa.
Umi wiped the sweat off Zahwa's forehead.
"What's up, son? You had a nightmare? What the hell's going on? You're okay, right?" Umi Cecars
Zahwa shook his head, then received the glass that Umi thrust.
Glekk...
The water of one glass finally ran out.
"Yourhift..."
"Sorry Umi. Mary's okay, Umi don't worry. Mary probably forgot to read the prayer"
"really? After this, read the prayer. Umi get out first. Isn't that right, all right?"
"Yes Umi.." Umi replied with a smile and then walked out.
"Hufft...Abaghfirullah.i follow the concerns that come from syaiton rather than calm down" said Zahwa then he came down to ablution. Then sleep after reading the prayer.
