When you finish cooking rice for lunch. Bu Sri and Bu Toha invited Furqon to participate in the mother's study which is usually held Laila once a Week.
"This morning I will tell you what happens every day at Laila's residence is not what is circulating in the community." Said Ms. Toha.
Ms Sri agreed. She is also already sultry with mothers who often comment on children who live with Laila not well taken care of. In terms of eating. It turns out Rohim and Laila will eat after his santri has eaten all. And almost every day the menu is changed. And circulating in the community, children santri given vegetables that are always warmed.
So that afternoon after finishing reading Yasin and tahlil together. Ms. Toha took out all her heart, at a time when the event was not yet closed. He tells how the figure of Laila who is often gossiped about is not good at educating his students. Children do not eat enough until they are often caught outside.
With tears Bu Toha revealed his heart.
"Come mothers. Today I am a living witness. As for how Neng Laila was taking care of those children. Not not taken care of. Not without food, but indeed the children are a period of growth. So no matter how much Laila cooks. They still want to eat out! It's a slander if Laila doesn't take care of those kids. I witness. Today I saw for myself and felt how to be Laila." Said Bu Toha while repeatedly patting his chest as tears continued to flow from the corner of his eyes.
He actually wanted to defend Laila but Laila always said. 'If there is no need to justify his good name. A truth will appear on its own without us being busy justifying what is slander. Because Kyai class big or big scholars will get criticism, slander let alone himself who is just a teacher njai'. So Laila's words made Bu Toha always hold her lips to defend Rohim's Wife.
He brought back his heart.
"I can't be Laila. So maybe we are difficult to learn because often gossip Laila, often defaming him so that it is very difficult for our hearts to accept the knowledge he gave us. Let's not lose mothers like Laila and Rohim. It's hard to find people like them in this day and age." The crying voice of Buk Toha makes some mothers cry.
They did not expect that all this time they had been mistaken for Laila. Feeling that Laila is taking advantage of the presence of children who live with them to take the cost of living. Laila and Rohim were very careful. They did not dare to disturb the money sent by the parents of the children for their own or Rohim's purposes.
"Try to think. Computed. How many years has Rohim been in our mosque? And I am the wife of Takmir mosque. Looking at the budget of the mosque itself, there is no cost to the mosque's marbot. And all this time we can pray worship in the mosque in a clean state, WC scented. It's all that does Rohim. That's nothing to pay. He even ate for his own living expenses from the results of gardening." Back Sobs Bu Toha broke.
All this time there was always a slanted talk about Rohim and Laila. Related to mosques that are considered less clean. The doors of the mosque are often damaged because there are many students of Rohim and Laila.
They were silent, Ms. Toha also finally invited the mothers to always keep their tongues and lips from gossiping especially knowledgeable people like Laila when they do not know the truth. All this time mothers only talk with the foundation of 'said' that can not be accounted for.
News of Laila entering the hospital was heard by Mr. Slamet. He went to Sumber Sari. Arriving at Sari's source, he instead meets Mukidi who guards near the santri putra's room. For in Rohim's house was waited for by Bu Toha and his mother.
They talked until Mr. Slamet told him he had brought money from some people who yesterday wanted to put his son there. Mukidi finally thought of using a serkiler. Because he thinks with many children who study with Rohim. So his village also fragrant because it has a knowledgeable person like Rohim and Laila.
He also made a proposal that night and he asked Mr. Toha to be a committee of development activities for Pondok Pesantren For Rohim. What an effect of the advice of Bu Toha this afternoon to give understanding to mothers. So Mukidi and her friends get so much funding when traveling or servicing.
Knowledgeable people will be so difficult to transfer their knowledge somewhere without a positive reception from the environment. Sumber Sari gives a positive response to two people who are knowledgeable in the field of religion. Rohim and Laila. The next day Rohim went home to see the condition of his proteges and also Furqon. But not yet at home, he was surprised to be a lot of piles of building materials. Because there are several piles of sand, coral and bricks on the right side of the mosque.
"Who delivered the material Nduk?"
"Kang Mukidi and Pak Toha seem to be kang. Last night."
Ms. Toha who was in the kitchen heard Rohim's voice quickly towards the front.
"Furqon again slept Him. Yesterday Mr and Mukidi held a serviler and agreed to build a place for you and the children to live. It feels like this house is not worthy if you live with your students." Obviously Ms. Toha.
Madam Sri who heard Rohim's voice. He came out of the kitchen with a cup of coffee.
"Ngopi Used to Be In. Who's laila with?" Ask Ms. Sri.
Rohim speechless. He entered his room for a while. Then back to the kitchen. He sat in amben (a kind of bench but in the form of a long bench made of wood). He recounted the condition of Laila who still had to be treated because of postpartum nervous disorders. Bu Sri and Bu Toha cried when they heard the news.
And the two sisters who had considered Laila like her mother were saddened. Moreover, Lulu, he closed his mouth so that his crying voice could not be heard by Rohim and two middle-aged women who had accompanied them for several days during Laila's absence.
Rohim returned to the city. He came home for taking the gold that Laila had saved. Inevitably he had to sell the gold for a fee during Laila's treatment. Because of his savings he had taken for Laila's operating expenses. Back a couple of husband and wife did not want to complain about the creature. They complain only to the Lord of God.
As well as his teacher in attitude, that is also what Laila's students do. Lulu cried all night hearing that the women who had been so patient in educating her, so painstakingly teaching them Adab, morality and reading the Koran, were now given trials.
He tried to repeat his speech. Unable to sleep. He looked at five of his friends who were asleep. The six of them slept in one room. And only use foam mattresses, while Lulu is more comfortable using mats. Because for him he woke up faster when he heard the sound of the door to Laila's room open at dawn.
Unable to fall asleep, Lulu picked up two pieces of paper that she had torn in the middle. He wrote the Arabic letter at the very top of the paper. And without realizing it, his tears washed the paper. There was a longing in Lulu's heart at the gentle, affectionate and firm figure who was none other than Laila.
"Hiks... Hix....Laila's mother."
Lulu's hand trembled as she wrote a sentence on a piece of paper that she wanted to use as a tool to reveal her heart.
Seriate....
