Assalamualaikum Ustadz Ku
23. Love Always Finds a Way to Return
That day Ilham called Tiara to the hall of the cottage. He was willing to offer Tiara to join the asatizh council in the cottage he managed.
"What's Mr. Kiai, why am I called in?" Tiara or Kesya lowered his head, worrying that Ilham was suspicious about his disguise.
Kesya has lived there for a month. Find out about her feelings for the handsome young Kiai. For some reason until now he has not yet got his memory despite being tried in various ways and efforts, still has not succeeded as well.
"For a few days I always heard a very melodious chant of the holy verse in your room. Are you able to join the asatizh council to teach the santri here?" Inspiration tries to strengthen his heart so as not to look at the woman in front of him. For some reason, Ilham felt familiar with the aroma coming from his body.
"Why am I talking to Kesya?" bathin Ilham cursed his heart which until now still thinks of his future wife.
"I'm sorry Mr. Kiai, I think, my duties in the cafeteria are more than enough. I am afraid that later I will not be able to carry the trust given by Mr. Kiai to me." Kesya lowered her head. Not daring to see the face of Ilham who was so dignified and elegant.
The aura of Inspiration as a Kiai is very strong and able to melt the feelings of everyone who is dealing with him.
"Oh God! Why does this feeling feel so familiar? Is he really my future husband?" Kesya also experienced the same feeling as the current Inspiration.
No matter how hard it is, love will find a way back. Love and love are very strong. Without them knowing, that love leads their hearts to re-link.
Unknowingly, Kesya stared intently at the eyes of Ilham. There is a longing that is read by Kesya. Inspiration itself could feel that his heart was beating very fast.
"What's wrong with me? Why did this feeling entice me to keep looking at him? I love Kesya very much. It is impossible for me to love another woman!" Ilham kept trying to sue himself. Not willing to fall for the charm of the widow before him.
"But why? It was like I was talking to Kesya. This is so weird!" The inspiration that felt that his heart was beating so hard, chose to leave Tiara alone.
Ilham walked into his room, opened his phone and stared at the photo of Kesya in the gallery. Photos taken secretly. Ilham and Kesya have never had a photo together. Very very dear.
"Dear, where are you really? I miss you so much!" Ilham hugged his cell phone until he fell asleep in his sleep.
"I must try to avoid Kiai Ilham. He might be suspicious of my disguise. I have to keep digging into my past. I don't want to believe all of them." Kesya decided to return to her room. There was a feeling of wonder that flashed through his mind.
"Why is there such a sad feeling in my heart, when I saw his eyes just now?" I really can't think of all the possibilities. Because he was tired, Kesya finally fell in a dream as well. It was his dream that led him to meet with Inspiration.
"Mas Ilham, help me Mas! I don't want to linger here! Please save me!" Kesya cried bitterly in her dream.
"Oh my God!" He was shocked and woke up in his dream. There were tears coming out of her eyes.
"Why am I crying?" Kesya sat staring at the edge of her bed. Trying to reflect on the meaning of his dream just now.
"What do I have to be, God? This feeling has been killing me slowly for a long time!" Kesya sniffled in silence. However it was now past midnight, there was no way he would disturb others who were resting with the sound of his crying.
Without Kesya knowing, Ilham was also heading there. Ilham also had the same dream as Kesya. That made Ilham mess up his mind. He also decided to pray tahajud in the mosque.
When they met in front of the mosque, like there was something interesting to both of them to get closer to each other.
"My assalamualaikum ustadz!" suddenly Kesya said that without her noticing.
"Kesya? Are you that?" I was very well-known for that voice. The melodious voice of his future wife. Inspirationlessly realizing, he approached towards Kesya. His hand without a cue grabbed the veil. Because the movement is very fast, so there is no time to prevent.
Inspiration looked at the woman before him. The woman who has been gracing her dreams. The woman he always missed.
"Kesya, is that you?" Ilham approached Kesya with a sad look. Kesya who realized that her veil had been detached for a while was still frozen in the presence of Inspiration.
"I'm sorry, I'm going!" not two steps from there. His hand was drawn by Inspiration into his arms. Inspiration to cry. The woman he had been looking for was in front of him all this time.
"Stupid me!" Ilham hugged Kesya tightly. Kissing her forehead with full of haru. Kesya herself was confused. His mind wants to get out of there. But somehow, his body was out of sync with his mind. His body seemed to want more than just a hug from Young Kiai before him.
"Pak Kiai, soon the santri will wake up to perform Tahajud Prayer. It's not good we're like this." Kesya tried to awaken the Inspiration that was still hypnotized with her feelings of sadness. Longing has overcome all logic and common sense.
"Kesya, I miss you so much!" Inspiration kissed Kesya's forehead again. All the longing for revenge all this time wanted him to devote all this night to his beloved future wife.
"Mas Ilham, please control yourself! It's not good that the students see us like this." Kesya's call is able to draw Inspiration from his subconscious.
"I'm sorry!" Inspiration let go of his embrace. Then pulled Kesya into his private home, however, he felt he had to straighten things out. He needs an explanation from Kesya. Why is he hiding with another identity?
"Explain all this to me." Ilham invited Kesya to sit on the sofa of his living room. Inspiration is living alone there. His parents are in East Java.
"Mas, I don't understand what happened. When my feet move without direction. My feet brought me here. I was surprised to find you here. I finally decided to disguise myself. I want to slowly get my memories back." Kesya lowered her head.
His veil was taken by Ilham, and still in his hand. "Mas, can you give me back my veil now? I'm so embarrassed to be with you without a veil." New inspiration is stuck with it.
Nervously, he gave Kesya's veil back. He still could not believe that Kesya was really in front of him now.
"Mas, please control yourself. Don't drop your honor in such a crazy thing. You're a Kiai now. A role model for the students you are teaching. I don't want you to have a hard time because of me!" Kesya tried to give some understanding to Ilham, the future husband she had just remembered.
"I miss you a lot too! But it is better if we meet in front of the ruler later. Our honor is more important Mas, than all lust and love," Kesya stared at Inspiration at a glance. Trying to dive into the feelings of the young man who had stolen his heart.
The accident caused him to lose his memory. Inspiration's longing and love show strength and ultimately lead them back together. A soul mate will never be changed. No matter how strong the efforts of men to separate, it will never succeed. Love always finds a way back.
