Assalamualaikum Ustadz Ku
251. Fathu Always Nosy

After saying goodbye to Kyai Ilham Kesya and Andika and other families also left the boarding school, leaving Adrian to Ilham to study religion in the cottage led by him.

Adrian looks teary eyes because he will be separated from his parents.

" True learning don't disappoint those of us who have sent you all the way to Indonesia!" andika's message when they say goodbye to Adrian who looks teary and not ready to part with them for a long time.

Kesya hugged her son very tightly. There was a sense of unwillingness to part with his son. But for the sake of his son's future he tried to be sincere and smiled at Adrian to give strength to his son who wanted to fight in the way of God to become a santri.

Fathu embraces Adrian's shoulders, who is currently feeling sad to part with his parents who will return to Dubai in one week. After they finished their agenda to visit their grandmother and Om Rashidnya in Indramayu.

" Be calm if you miss them later you just ask them to pick you up!" fathu comforted his best friend.

Adrian looks glanced at his best friend who has been accompanying him ever since.

" Later if you miss your parents, you come with me to go back to Jakarta. You can think of my parents as your parents too. Or you ask to be picked up by your Om in Indramayu. Everything is easy to set do not cry anymore!" said Fathu trying to comfort his friends who seemed still sad even though now they were in the dormitory son gathered with other friends.

" You're good, your parents are close. Lah me? My parents are in Dubai. If I miss, so far is the distance that stretches between us!" adrian said.

Fathu then invites Adrian to go to the cafeteria or food can make someone who is sad to be entertained.

" Now we are still free and relaxed because it is still the new school year. Later if it has begun to be active for school and teaching we will be very busy!" said Fathu while finishing the food he had ordered.

Meanwhile Adrian still seemed to have no taste for doing anything because his mind was still on his mother.

" I miss my mom!" WhatsApp Adrian while glancing at the glance to who seemed to enjoy the food.

" Look, you're only gonna miss your mom for a little while. Soon you will be busy with teaching and learning there is no time for you to lament such a thing again!" said Fathu with a voice that is so steady and full of confidence because he used to feel the same way so he can say it.

Since Adrian came to the boarding school until now, he has not spoken privately with Kyai Ilham whom he loved very much when he was a child. But now that he has become a teenager in the 1st grade of High School he already feels that he is an adult and does not deserve to be spoiled again to Om Ilhamnya.

Adrian's sad feelings at this time are very reasonable felt by a teenager who basically still needs affection from both parents. It's just that he did have a promise to Fathu to return to Indonesia so he also had to keep that promise to his kental friend as a child.

After finishing their meal. They also returned to the dormitory son looks Syifa who was playing with the princess santri. Adrian glances at the beautiful girl, who is predicted by Fathu as his future wife.

NB: The love story of Fathu, Adrian and Syifa when they were adults can be read in Author's novel entitled "Forced to Marry Kyai's Son." has ended the novel even 😂

" Ckck was watching his future wife until he couldn't blink his eyes!" said Fathu while following Adrian's arm.

" A lot of rest you, Fathu! Don't talk like it keeps dong. Not good if until Kyai Ilham listened to your words earlier. Kirain, I want to know her son, but Syifa is Kyai's daughter, we have to be us, we have to respect!" adrian said reprimanding his best friend who only grimaced to see Adrian who looked misuh-misuh.

Fathu was happy at least now his best friend had started not to be sad anymore. Because remembering about his parents who are now in Indramayu is in a boarding school managed by Kyai Rashid.

Time goes by so quickly without feeling it has been almost half a year Adrian lived in a boarding house.

Kyai Ilham looks at Adrian whose development is very advanced and he feels very happy to see Adrian who looks close to his daughter.

' May Allah match them up to be a couple someday. Fulfilling the wishes of our ancestors who wanted there to be a familial bond among our family that I had failed to fulfill because of Kesya that was captured by Andika!' inner Kyai Ilham noticed the interaction between Adrian and Syifa that seemed so familiar.

Qonita was watching her dreamy-looking husband. He also wondered to himself. Why is her husband always sad every time he notices the interaction between the two of them, Adrian and Shifa.

" Aby, is there a problem?" qonita asked as she touched her husband's shoulder.

Kyai Ilham took a quick glance at his wife who had been with him for so long with his incredible patience.

" It's okay Umi. Abi was just watching the two of them. They seem so harmonious even though their age is far adrift. Adrian is very painstaking babysitting Syifa." Kyai Ilham said with a smile as he looked at the crying Shiva and finally with great difficulty Adrian silenced him.

" It would really be a very funny story, when both of them would one day actually become husband and wife!" qonita said while chuckling.

Syifa who was crying was now smiling after being given ice cream by Adrian.

" Well, don't cry again later if you cry you are no longer allowed to play with Brother Adrian!" adrian said comforting Syifa who now began to smile after both hands holding her favorite ice cream.

" Jeez who is snacking on a future wife. So patient are you Adrian facing a fussy child like Syifa!" said Fathu smiling nosily while patting Adrian on the shoulder.

Adrian who was annoyed with the words of his best friend would not want him to immediately plash the head of Fathur who he said spoke carelessly.

" I've considered Syifa to be my own sister. I never thought that she would one day be my wife. Please Fathu! Stop talking about silly things that make me ashamed!" adrian said while looking intently at his friend who smiled to him.

" I won't forgive you if you talk recklessly about Syifa and Me!" adrian started to sesel to Fathu.

" Adrian, why did you leave your future wife with me?" screamed Fathu to Adrian Adrian Adrian who heard it immediately settled fiercely to Fathu who even laughed out loud feeling funny with the expression of his best friend.

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

Meanwhile, Kesya and Andika who is currently visiting Indramayu to meet her brother who is now trusted to lead the boarding school abandoned by her deceased father-in-law.

" Assalamualaikum Rashid's sister!" kesya said when they first met.

" Waalaikumsalam Warahmatulli Westarakatuh Hotel. It's a pleasure to have a visit from you after so many years of not meeting!" said Rashid who got moved because they finally met again. After almost three years they all did not meet and only communicated by phone.

Their respective busyness that makes it difficult for them to find time, even just to meet. So deliver Adrian to the boarding school, really used by the two to berkilaturahmi to relatives in Indonesia.

Farhan enjoyed their trip. His health improved because his heart was happy and his heart was happy. Because finally he can set foot in Indonesia.

Amanda had a sad face. Farhan could understand his granddaughter's feelings he must be missing his real mother who also lives in Indonesia.

But Amanda and Manda, have not met for a long time and have broken off communication. So they don't know where Manda is now with her new husband and family.

" Did you miss your mother?" farhan asked as he looked at Amanda who kept her head down looking very sad.

Amanda shook her head. Because he still remembers everything. How his stepfather treated him.

" No grandpa. Amanda didn't want to trouble Mama with my coming to their house. We'll just go back to Dubai!" said Amanda in a trembling voice.

Farhan felt sorry for his granddaughter who had to suffer so much at such a young age. She knows what it's like to have to part with her birth mother who prefers her new husband and family over her. That must have been very painful for Amanda.

Even though Amanda is now a very beautiful girl. But still, his mentality is not that strong. She also misses meeting her own mother.

" Patience, dear. Later Grandpa will find out where your birth mother is at this time. If you don't want to see him, it's enough to see him from a distance. You know enough that your mother is fine. Grandpa, I think that's enough for you to be able to live in peace later on!" said Farhan as he stroked the head of Amanda whom he loved dearly.

Amanda looked at her grandfather intently. He loved Farhan very much. Because all this time he was the one who always made her feel valued and feel like she had a family.

" If you want to meet your mother, Papa can take you!" suddenly Andika was already among them and grasped Amanda's hand.

" Let's go to your mother's house!" he said with a smile to Amanda.

Amanda looked at the two as if she could not believe what she was hearing.

" Is it true that we're going to visit my real mother's house? Mama and Papa don't mind at all?" Amanda with sparkling eyes immediately hugged Kesya. His eyes looked teary as he felt moved.

" It's dong baby. Mama's daughter can't cry!" said Kesya while stroking the back of Amanda who was now sobbing in her arms.

" Or do you want to study in Indonesia? Let me see your mom whenever you want?" ask Amanda.

Amanda immediately shook her head because she did not want to leave Farhan alone in Dubai.

Amanda loved Farhan very much because he was a good grandfather to her and never demanded anything to make her happy.

However Amanda still remembers when she was a child how her stepfather treated her like a commoner in their family.

" It doesn't have to be Mah. Amanda just wanted to see my mom for a minute. After that we can go back to Dubai" Amanda said in a trembling voice.

Andika understands how her daughter feels right now it must be very easy to forget something that has hurt her heart.

Andika has heard stories from her mother about Amanda being mistreated by her stepfather. This is the reason Amanda asked to be picked up to Dubai at that time by her mother.

" Of Rashid doesn't mind. If suppose Amanda wants to study in Indonesia later can go here!" rasyid said he had a solution for them.

" No Om! Amanda doesn't want to part with Grandpa. Currently the grandfather in the mansion only lives alone and Grandpa's health is always up and down. How could Amanda leave Grandpa?" amanda refused an offer from Rashid.

" Yes no longer a problem. But obviously if one day you want to live in Indonesia, this place you can make as a reference!" rasyid said with a smile to Amanda who seemed to have calmed down and did not cry anymore.

Zahra then came out of her room. Zaki looks like their son is studying seriously.

NB: For those who can't wait to find out the love story about Zaki when he was older, can be read in the author's novel entitled.

"When Love Begins to Be Questioned"
