Chapter 16: Successfully Contacting Mr. Kyai

After work, Marsel had intended to go home with Adam to his house.

Marsel plans to stay at Adam's house as well. Fortunately, neither Marsel nor Adam, they were overtime.

After the Maghrib prayer, Adam, Wulan, and Marsel gathered in front. Wulan picked up the hape and then dialed Pak Kyai's number again.

"Bismillah, hopefully this time can be connected well, Mas, Sel," said Wulan while looking for contact Pak Kyai.

"Amin, God willing, for the blessing given by Rose's parents, and also with His permission, hopefully this time, Mr. Kyai can be contacted." Imbuh Adam's.

"Amiiiiiiiin," answered Marsel and washed his face with his palms.

Wulan started calling Mr. Kyai's number. The three of them looked worried.

"Where, Lan?" Ask Marsel.

"It hasn't been lifted yet. I'll try again." Wulan repeated her call.

After a few seconds of waiting, Wulan's phone finally connected.

"Alhamdulillah, Assalamu'alaikum" Wulan told the person on the phone.

"Wa'alaikumsalam, sorry with whom?"

"I'm Wulan, from K town, I want to talk to Mr. Kyai, is he in place?" Tanya Wulan felt uneasy. Adam and Marsel were feeling bad. They were enthusiastic about seeing Wulan's conversation with the person on the call.

"He just got home and was sleeping, Mba. Please, Ma'am Wulan leave a message, I will tell him later."

"Oh so. All right, so look, Ma'am. I mean to call him, is to ask for help to find my friend named, Roses. The rose has been gone for about four months. Ma'am, if Mbak pleases, if Mr Kyai is awake, can Mbak contact me?" Ask Wulan.

"Insya Alloh, Ma'am. Later Mbak Wulan can just write down the details of the problem through a message. Don't forget to include the Rose bin because I don't know either, Mr. Kyai can come to the Wulan Mbak place or not. You see Mr. Kyai said, he wants to be home only, these weeks."

"Well, ma'am, I'll send you a message later. Well then, I say thank you very much, Ma'am, assalamu'alaikum."

"Wa'alaikumsalam." Answer the woman from the phone.

Wulan ended the conversation.

"Where, Lan? Mr Kyai can help?" Ask Marsel.

"He's resting, Sel. Let's pray, hopefully he can help. Mbak-Mbak who said earlier, we should write the details through the message alone because Mr. Kyai these weeks do not want to go anywhere. Maybe it will be helped from Mr. Kyai's own place." Wulan replied with a sigh.

"Aided from here, or from there, it does not matter, Mr. Kyai just want to help Alhamdulillah. We must not be discouraged. Nduk, you should immediately write down the details of the Rose problem." Said Adam.

"Good, Mas. But, long name, Roses and Mr. Ruman, who is it? I don't know, Mas, Cell."

"Just relax, Lan, I know koq." Marsel replied smiling. "Malikiya Rose Sasruman. If Mr. Ruman..." Marcel tried to remember first. Wulan recorded the name of the rose in his hape.

"Sir Ruman, Mahendra Ruman Sawiji. Yeah, that's his full name." Said Marsel steady.

"Seriously you, Cell? Don't get it wrong because bin wali must be right!" Ask Adam to try to scare Marsel.

"True, Dam, indeed his long name is koq, Rose used to say the same to me, when I was slowly chanting Ijab Qabul."

"Well, apparently you're secretly careless, Cell?" Adam asked, holding back his laughter.

"Yes, for the preparation to be smooth later." Marsel said he threw away his face because he knew Adam was just being so soft.

Wulan smiled at the behavior of her husband and best friend. Wulan then typed in the details.

"Assalamu'alaikum, Mr. Kyai, I am Wulan from the city of K. I intend to convey my problem, and want to ask for help from Mr. Kyai. I really hope, hopefully Mr. Kyai can help my problem."

"I have a friend, who has been missing for about four months, Mr. Kyai. His name, Malikiya Mawar Saruman bin Mahendra Ruman Sawiji.

The rose disappeared when it came out of the house when the Maghrib prayer rang."

"We have reported to the authorities, but until now there was no result. Even the police themselves can't trace the whereabouts, Rose. We have also asked all our friends, Roses. But no one knows either. If Mr. Kyai is not busy, and deigns, we expect the arrival, Mr. Kyai to the city of K, to help us. So much and thank you. Wassalamu'alaikum warahmatullahi wabbarakatuh."

"Bismillah, hopefully Mr. Kyai can come here well," said Wulan.

"Amiii." Adam and Marsel answered.

"Even if it can't come, if it can help, we should be grateful, Cell." Wulan.

"That's for sure, Lan. Hopefully, Mr. Kyai will immediately give you the news once you read the message you sent, Lan!"

"Amin, Cell."

The three of them then nodded. In their hearts each hoped that the Roses could return immediately with a healthy state without lacking anything.

After praying 'isya, Umi Fatma intends to express her desire again about finding Mira through smart people.

Abi Ilham was looking at his hape, while enjoying a snack and warm tea provided by Umi Fatma for him.

Umi Fatma came from the kitchen while carrying warm tea for herself, and sat down next to her husband.

"Abi, what is Abi doing? I think it's busy!" Tanya Umi Fatma then screwed her warm tea.

"Yes, just reply to a friend's chat, Umi."

"Ooh," replied Umi Fatma as a beard. Umi Fatma wanted to express her wish, she set her breath first. His heart feels beating.

"Abi, Umi wants to talk about, Mira." Umi Fatma hung the sentence.

Abi Ilham then put his phone on the table, and changed to look at his wife's face. Umi Fatma was pounding when she saw her husband's two eyes.

"What's up, Umi?" Ask Abi flat.

Umi Fatma then put her tea on the table.

"Abi, yesterday, Umi met someone, her name, Wulan. Umi accidentally met him. We had a long chat. And, this Wulan boy tells the story of his best friend, who's been missing for four months, Abi,"

"Then?" abi Ilham asked seriously.

Umi Fatma sighed, making Abi Ilham squint her eyes.

"Why, Umi breathed? Is there something that makes Umi depressed?"

"Oh, no, Bi. Emm, look, Bi. Friend, Nak Wulan named, the rose said she was all along, Bi. Abi know a ride?"

"No, what is it, Mi?" Abi asked as he stroked his thin bearded beard.

"Selong, he said misled, Bi. For example, Abi wants to go home from mosque to house, the road between the mosque to our house will stay straight because Abi is at a corner, so Abi's road turns, not straight. But who, Abi knows, Abi keeps his path straight."

"So, what do you mean? Mira's at the right hand?" Ask Abi Ilham, who apparently already knows the meaning of his wife's words.

Hearing her husband's answer, Umi Fatma then lowered her head. She looked afraid to look into her husband's two cold eyes.

"Umi, never mind, Umi don't compare people's stories with Mira's. We just have to pray, ask Allah for help. Abi know what he means, Umi. Umi would like to suggest to smart people again, right?"

"But, Abi, this smart man is not a shaman like Abi thinks, Insya Alloh is not a idol, Bi."

"Where do you know it's not idolatry! Asking for something other than, Alloh, that shirked his name. Musical, Mi. Abi was surprised by Umi. The more here, Umi's faith is getting shaky. Umi needs to increase her worship, Umi. Umi better go teach again. Remember yes, Umi, Abi will never agree in a way, Umi to ask for the help of smart people." Abi Ilham looked angry, then left his wife.

"Abiii, Umi's not done talking yet." Shouted Umi Fatma with despair.

Umi Fatma covered her face with her two hands. Swiped it.

"Yes, Allaah, I only worship You, and believe in You. The servant only strives on this path. Is, servant wrong, huh Alloh?"

Umi Fatma cried, she felt sad because her husband was angry, and did not agree with her proposal. In fact, Umi Fatma has not finished explaining, but Abi Ilham can already guess the direction of his conversation and immediately reject his wishes outright.
