101. SK 2: SURPRISE TO MOTHER'S HOUSE (2)

Next day

Now Umi and Zahwa are arranging breakfast this morning on the table. After that Buya came and sat down in his chair.

"Breakfast together, son" said Buya holding Zahwa who wanted to leave

Zahwa looked at Umi, Umi nodded with a smile. "Yes, kid. We had breakfast together"

Zahwa nodded, after which he sat himself in the chair next to Umi.

They ate quietly no talk of just the twang of a spoon being heard.

After she finished eating, Zahwa lifted the dirty dishes into the sink and washed them. Then bring the lid of the bowl of food that does not run out to the dining table.

"Sit down first" said Buya after Zahwa finished closing all the food on the table.

"Yes Bi"

"Let's know you must be bored here. You're not allowed by your husband to teach either, are you?"

"Yes Bi"

"For a while... How about you visit your parents? Maybe it can make you better after meeting your mother, and gathering with your other family" Buya said

Zahwa was silent for a moment. He thought of the words of Buya. Inwardly he was eager to accept Buya's offer, but on the other hand... His brain is thinking..

"How's son?" Tanya Umi disperse Zahwa's daydream

"Abi...no returning Mary to Mary's parents, is it, Bi?" Zahwa asked with a worried look.

Umi and Buya looked at each other, then held back their laughter. Not minded with the thoughts of his daughter-in-law.

"No.nak..Abi just doesn't want you to feel bored here. You can't go out and act right by Zi? That child. Abi thinks you can do better after meeting your family"

Zahwa looked at Buya and turned to Umi.

"Let's just calm, Zi's problem will be Abi who takes care of it" said Umi made Zahwa nod.

"Well Bi, Mary wants to"

"Alhamdulillah... We leave at 11 o'clock, son"

"Yes Bi. Thank you Bi"

"Together son"

After breakfast, they went back to their rooms.

***

At 11 noon..

"How son? Are you done?" Umi comes to Zahwa's room.

"Umi already.." said Zahwa took his sling bag.

"All right, let's go"

They leave only betiga, Buya does not ask for help driver to drive. Buya chose to drive his own car.

During the trip, Zahwa stared happily at the street outside the window. There was a sense of happiness in his heart in a moment that he would meet his family. Also for two more months, he's only come out so far. Usually the trip is only around pesantren and cottage studies village mothers.

Behind his black niqab, a smile never faded from his face. Umi smiled to see her daughter-in-law through the rearview mirror.

30 Minutes drive, now the car is in front of the house of the Syeena family.

Buya pressed his horn, Mang the security guard who saw Buya's car immediately opened the gate with a smile and slightly bowed.

Ciett. car stop. They went out and went to the door.

Tok.dok...

"Assalamu'alaikum.." greet Zahwa with vigor.

Tok.dok..

"Assalamu'alaikum's chat.."

Zahwa waited for a reply, but nothing. Three taps and say hello. The door is not open.

Zahwa approached Umi with his face dim.

"Mom..." His sister.

"No one? How then?" Zahwa shook her head

"We'll just go home?" Ask Umi again.

"Hem?" Zahwa looked at Umi, then nodded weakly..

They turned around and got ready to go home.

"Wa'alaikumussalam.warahmatullahi.. wabaraka-tuh" "Wawa?"

Zahwa looks at "Mother..." Say

Then walked to embrace Mother Fatimah after kissing her hand.

"Who? Sorry, I'm sorry Ustadz.I didn't hear anyone coming, since we were in the back garden.. Umi.. Ustadz.." said Mother Fatimah

After they entered, Mother Fatimah opened the door wide.

"How are you, ma'am..?"

"Alhamdulillah.bi khayr Umi besan.."

"Sorry before, did something happen so it came suddenly?" Ask Umi

" Em.begini. Better wait for Kak Ali to come"

"Mother, where's Dad?"

" Dad is in the office, soon to go home" said Mother Fatimah.

They talked lightly, and while eating the food served on the table.

10 Minutes later, the sound of a car roar could be heard from outside. Before long, Ali's father appeared at the main door.

"Assalamu'alaikum's chat.."

"Wa'alaikumussalam warahmatullahi wabarakatuh" replied them all

"There are besan apparently" said Ali's father then walked to shake hands with Buya Firman. Then sit in his chair.

"It's been a while?"

"No, it was only a few dozen minutes ago" Buya replied

" Hem.alright... What was? Anything on?" Asked Ali's father who was astonished by their impromptu arrival

"Look, actually son Mary will stay here for a while, maybe he will feel better after mingling with his family" said Buya Firman

Father Ali and Mother Fatimah looked at each other.

"What does he mean? You didn't mean to return my daughter to me, did you?" Said Ali's father as thoughtful as Zahwa when he first stung Buya's speech. Makes Buya laugh.

Father and son are the same, he thought

"Ahahaha.of course not. This kind of daughter-in-law has to be brought back, no. Her husband hasn't told me anything, I'm just afraid my son-in-law is bored and doesn't feel at home always in the boarding house. Nor was she given permission to teach and go anywhere by her husband. So. maybe he can refresh here. " Obviously Buya

"Ohh so... Alright. Hopefully Akhtar will tell you soon" said Ali's father staring softly at his first daughter.

After the core conversation, they entered on another conversation which led to the creation of two groups.

One group of fathers, and one group of mothers. Of course, because their discussion is different and not in the interest of each other.

About 2 hours Umi and Buya visited there. Now it's time for them to come back. Because after this Buya still has an event. Previously they had prayed dzuhur together earlier.

"Son..Umi go home first yes. don't stay here for long. Later Umi misses, and is lonely again" said Umi hugged Zahwa

"I'm sorry Mary ya Umi..If Mary comes back to the pesantren is okay too"

" No boy. You're here first.. Umi is okay after this.also Umi will accompany Buya dakwah to the next city" said Umi stroked Zahwa's cheek.

"Alright Umi. fii Amanillah.be careful on the road.." Zahwa kissed Umi Alya's hand and turned to Buya.

"Yes son.. Umi's gone yeah..." Zahwa nodded

"Sister.we say thank you, thank you for my daughter-in-law"

"Hey.don't forget that she's my daughter "

" But it is no longer yours" Buya continued making everyone shake their heads

"We're going to Bu Besan"

"Yes Umi.be careful on the road. Hope the journey is good"

"Aamiin.."

" Assalamu'alaikum.."

"Wa'alaikumussalam warahmatullahi wabarakatuh"

They stared at the departure of Umi and Buya's car until it was invisible. After that, they went inside.
