That afternoon Rohim with Laila and Little Furqon visited Sumber Saneas. Laila took her husband to Abah Ucup's house. He wants to take an original diploma to be legalized. Because it will be sent to the committee to complete the next condition.
Arrived at Abah Ucup's residence. Furqon's grandfather and grandmother looked happy to welcome their granddaughter. They talked for almost half an hour. Laila also expressed her heart.
"Well, same degree Abah let Laila keep. This all wants Laila to legalize the SD." Laila said politely.
Abah Ucup was silent. Salamah who had just come to bring food also fell silent. Laila looked at the expression of sadness in both her parents.
"What's the Bah?" Tanya Laila was curious.
Abah breathed heavily from his nose. Even his shoulders seemed to be swaying.
"Laipa.... Forgive Abah...." Abah lirih.
"What's the Bah?" Ask Laila slowly.
"Your diploma.... Your diploma...." Abah Ucup could not continue his speech. He fell down and wiped his tears.
"Your body all burned Lai." Said Ms. Salamah quickly and also shed tears.
Laila was stunned for a moment. He was privileged, not daring to ask why and what happened. Rohim who sat by Laila's side saw the expressions of his in-laws and his wife. He held the wife's hand.
"Calm down, brother." Rohim said slowly.
Abah Ucup raised his head. Both of his cheeks were wet with tears. The middle-aged man tried to catch his breath before returning to explain to Laila what had happened.
Abah Ucup recounts the incident where Waroh burned his sister's diploma as well as his sister's clothes.
"Innalady.... What was Laila's fault until Waroh did that.... Hix... Hicks...." Laila's cry broke.
He felt a tightness in his chest. All this time he had never been disrespectful let alone hurt his brother. He always gave up on his brother. But he did not expect if it reached that far Waroh's actions. And Laila's spontaneous questioning made Abah Ucup glance at Rohim.
"What is the reason that makes Kak Waroh so desperate Bah? What's Laila's fault?" Laila asked still crying.
Abah Ucup apologizes to his youngest daughter.
"I'm sorry Abah Nduk. Rohim actually came home to propose to your brother. But Abah asked Rohim to propose to you. Because Abah knew your brother would not be a match if he accompanied Rohim. You deserve Rohim Nduk..." Abah said while shedding his tears.
Laila turned to look at Rohim. He is unable to say. He did not want to follow the lust in his heart that caused one feeling of anger. Angry at parents, at Waroh also her husband. He knew that at this time, some of the knowledge that he often refers to the mothers in his assembly to be patient, forgiving every mistake of brother or spouse.
He only beristighfar, he did not dare to ask again. He was worried that his weak heart was again whispering a lot of feelings and made him become persuaded by Satan to vent emotions, anger, hatred for those he should respect, he loved.
He just cried. Salamah hugged her youngest daughter. Laila was crying in Salamah's arms. He did not rethink why Waroh behaved that way. But his heart, his mind sought what wisdom was behind everything that happened. Minute by minute, as his heart continued to be privileged. He also began to think clearly.
Laila hugged Abah Ucup's arm.
"Laila also apologized to Abah. It seems Abah's ideal to have a child employee can not be realized because it is certain Laila did not qualify for this one stage Bah." Laila said in a typical voice of people crying.
Abah Ucup turned towards the flower.
"Are you not angry with Waroh Nduk?" Ask Abah Ucup and Bu Salamah together.
Laila pulled out a chair and sat on Abah's right side.
"I'm sorry maybe Bah. This Abah princess is also human. But it's a shame that Laila often asks mothers to be patient, to forgive but Laila herself follows the whispers of Laila's lust to be angry and blame." Laila said slowly.
"Change ridho you want to be anything, son. What matters is that you and your husband live happily. I'm sorry I haven't been a good parent to you and Waroh." Said Abah Ucup who came back crying.
Rohim looked only at what was going on in his family-in-law. She was so proud to be Laila's husband. He also felt that Laila was a tough wife in carrying out her duties, as a wife, mother, child, also in the Community.
When Abah Ucup's family was crying. One woman who did not dare to enter the house. It is Waroh. Abah Ucup's eldest son was leaning against the wall of Abah Ucup's house. He didn't want to go back to his father. So that he discouraged the intention to enter the house. After how long. He also dared to enter.
But it was as if Abah's heart was truly made happy that day. Waroh told Abah Ucup that there will be someone coming tonight. A young man who was also a teacher at the Aliyah Madrasah, the man intended to propose to him. It was a happy thing for Abah Ucup.
When going home Laila and Rohim also took the time to comfort the father.
"Well, Allah is Loving and Merciful. Abah's son is not a teacher or an officer. Eh, the future daughter-in-law who is also a teacher." Tempta Laila to her father.
Abah Ucup tried to laugh. He does not want to be sad again. He wanted Laila not to worry about him. Abah Ucup also gave a message to the couple.
"You are not officers but you are respected by many people. It has become the pride of Abah itself. Be careful not to feel arrogant and want to be respected by others. You are busy wanting to be appreciated by others. Now there are many like that. And Abah hope you don't change." Abah Ucup said while patting Rohim on the shoulder.
Rohim also said goodbye. On the bike, he held Laila's hand while the other hand held the motor.
"Thank you you still keep your adab, you can control your disappointment and anger Dik."
"Thank you for proposing to Laila." Laila said as she leaned her head against her husband's back.
"Are you angry or jealous?"
"Why should I be jealous? Is this man not my husband now? Why should be angry. Doesn't all this happen by the will of God. There was a God who moved Abah's heart to ask for Laila's proposal, there was a God who moved Mas's heart to propose Laila. And there's wisdom Kak Waroh burned Laila's diploma."
"What's Wisdom?" Rohim asked a little curiously.
"There are children who want to learn and go with us. Mas do not remember Lulu and Ayu who one week ago invited his parents to our place? He said later this month they'll be back where we are. They'll leave their children at our residence. I said yes, right?"
"Innalilahi. We have to prepare a room for the kids. For you to remind. Thank God Furqon tomorrow your mother will be called Umi or Bu Nyai... " Temptation of Rohim on the wife.
Laila patted Rohim's back slowly.
"Aami... Tomorrow, Laila will not be called Umi or Nyai Mas Bu. Let Lulu and Ayu call me mbak." Laila said to Rohim.
"Yes. Mas also sometimes a little embarrassed if there are citizens who call ustadz. More comfortable in calling kang." Rohim.
A couple who should be sad, that afternoon was happy. Because they will struggle to transfer their knowledge to students who will continue to grow over time.
A couple who became a good figure in morality for the people of Sumber Sari. They are also people who are considered patient and can embrace many people. Including from parents to teenagers. Just as Rohim was busy looking for wood, the young men and Mukidi who saw the teacher were busy, quickly came to Rohim's residence.
They helped Rohim make a room in his house. Now the living room is in magic to be a room for their first students who will stay in their residence for 24 hours. So for Laila and Rohim. Ayu and Laila are their children.
The times of slander came, Laila's patience was also tested again when Ayu and Lulu lived in their residence. That morning when Laila woke Ayu and Lulu to take a bath as soon as possible. The two brothers looked a little sullen. Even in the morning they were still pouting at Laila.
Laila understood that the first days and the first months were the most uncomfortable things for new people to go. Although the place of residence can not be said to be a cottage but with the stay of the two children, then he was required to be patient to educate the child that his parents entrusted to him and the husband.
"Snakkl."
The sound of things falling from the kitchen. Rohim went to the garden. Laila's still giving ASI to Furqon. He made his son wake up again.
