Hijrah Love Arunika
Chapter 40. New hobby

Currently, Aru is on his way to the Darussalam boarding school. Her husband, Dirga, is back at work. He said he wanted to get work done so he could go on his honeymoon in the next few weeks.

"Assalamu'alaikum, Umi, "greet Aru when he just got out of the car and immediately met with Nyai Hafidzah who was in the park.

Waalaikumsal. How are you doing, son? It's been a long time since I've visited the cottage." Umi asked with great care and tenderness.

"Thank God, Umi. Good news."

"You yourself? Oh yes, how is Nak Dirga? Umi listen, Dirga boy has recovered? " ask Umi who already knows the state of Dirga who has had an accident. He and Abah once came home to visit Dirga.

"Thank God, Umi. All because of God and the prayers of the good people, "Aru replied kindly.

"Alhamdulillah. Now go in first, huh? Umi wants to chat for a while before you come to the administration room, "smart soft Umi.

Aru nodded and followed Umi's footsteps who walked towards his house. After arriving, Aru is welcome to sit down and be given a snack as usual. That's how Umi Hafidzah treats all his guests. Very friendly and knows well.

"Umi does not want to mince words because Nak Aru must have wondered about the conversation that Umi said. It's about Sisil," Umi said.

Aru immediately straightened up and listened well to the explanation that Umi was going to say. "good. What's wrong with Sisil Ma'am, Umi?"

Umi seemed to let out a heavy sigh before returning to voice. "Before, Umi wanted to apologize for not paying attention to the administrators in the boarding school. Until one of them committed a despicable act and almost damaged your household. For us, it was a mistake and inexcusable." Umi paused her sentence. As if the discussion this time would be so heavy.

"Yes, Umi. Aru is no longer a problem with this, "answer Aru does not want to make Umi who actually feels guilty.

"You must know if in the cottage, behavior is very important what else the behavior of the managers. They will be examples of students studying here. Therefore, Umi, Abah, and Zain agreed to give SP2. However, instead of changing for the better, Sisil actually increasingly shows his true nature. With a heavy heart, we took out Sisil."

Umi's explanation was enough to make Aru surprised. He did not think that the Dirga complaint would affect Sisil's own career. Aru was the one who asked Dirga to complain about the problem as a tool to make Sisil deterred. Guilt instantly slipped to the bottom of his heart.

"No need to feel guilty. What Nak Aru and Nak Dirga did was right. It's not just the good name of the cottage that's at stake. But the mental santriwati also received less good treatment from Sisil. Umi to not believe if Sisil turned out to often intimidate some santriwati if his will is not obeyed. At first they did not dare to complain. But after there is a complaint from you, other students begin to dare," explained Umi at length.

"Then, where is Sisil now, Umi?" ask Aru curious. Heavy breathing was heard again.

"Sisil returned to his hometown. Before leaving, he left a message to Umi to ask for forgiveness from you. He said, already no longer have face to meet you," said Umi who made Aru surprised instead of playing.

----------------

After returning from the cottage, Aru continued to think about Umi's words that explained about Mbak Sisil's condition now. The sanctions he received were heavy. However, according to Umi it is worth the mistake that Sisil has made.

"I see, why do more daydreaming after the pesantren? Is there a serious problem? Meet with Sisil again?" guess Dirga was wrong.

"What's wrong, really? It's only natural that he's coming home because he still has family there." Dirga responded casually and considered it natural for Sisil's return.

Aru also sat on the double arm sofa where the other place has been occupied Dirga. Aru looked at Dirga completely with a gloomy look on her face. "The problem is, Mbak Sisil has been dismissed from working in the pesantren. Turns out, Ms. Sisil was not just being bad to me. But with other students too. He got reports from many sides. Umi said also, Mbak Sisil's behavior is not the better it is even more so," explained Aru without anyone who wants to be covered up.

Dirga was surprised to hear the very narration of the wife about the story of Sisil at this time. However, Dirga considered this natural. What Sisil is difficult to do, must be accounted for.

"If I think yes. It was indeed a sanction that he had to accept. He must take responsibility for every mistake in his past. And I want to ask you something, please don't blame yourself after what happened to Sisil. It's not your fault." Dirga said as if he understood the contents of Aru's head.

Aru lips conical. "But, Mas—"

Cup.

Dirga immediately silenced Aru's lips with a kiss so that his wife was no longer protesting. "No word but. Sisil must learn a lesson so that his life can be better." Then after that, Dirga hugged Aru from the side and rubbed his hand gently on the wife's shoulder.

Aru nodded in confirming. Sisil has to learn from the mistakes he has made. "Alright then, Mas." said Aru in the end.

"Well, that's dong. Do you want the Quran together?" bargain Dirga who immediately got an enthusiastic nod from Aru. The two of them also dissolve in the mushaf reading for a few minutes. Maybe about half an hour late.

Until the voice of azan isya was heard, both of them immediately stopped their teaching activities. Both equally live every sentence after sentence of azan heard by chiming in.

When the Azaan has been completed, the two re-established congregational prayer. At the end of the prayer, Aru prayed for the safety and harmony of his household life.

He also requested that immediately be given a baby as a complement to his household with Dirga.

"Yes Allah. Verily, You are the All-Knowing, the All-Giver. If until now You have not given me a child, may You immediately blow the soul into my womb. But if thou wilt any other way, I submit O Allah. I believe that Your plan is the most beautiful. Aamiin's."

Aru only prayed in her heart because she was too ashamed of her husband who was now also fervently praying. Aru took off the face worn and then kept it.

Seeing the Husband who still survives on the prayer mat, makes Aru wonder what prayer is being offered. Until Aru chooses to go to bed first, waiting for her husband to finish.

"It seems, you have a new hobby lately," chirped Dirga who made Aru jerk. She was observing her handsome husband.

Aru threw away the original face. "What hobby is it? "

"Hobby looks at her husband."
