LAILA TO KANG ROHIM

LAILA TO KANG ROHIM
Chapter 89 The Magic Mirror


The days change, Umi Laila more and more days more activities. She is also active in one of the female organizations because her teacher dawuh directly so that she and Abi Rohim to participate actively in one container or organization. But his busyness does not make Umi Laila negligent or forget his duties and responsibilities. He is busy with teaching, teaching and organizing activities but the matter of educating his baby is still priority. Not only to his four biological children, but Ayra also did not escape the discipline of Umi Laila in educating the children of the late Nuaima and Munir. His nephew's daughter is now 15 years old.


Ayra is seen sitting on a wooden swing under a guava tree, she is playing a swing with a child named Yeni. Yeni sat on the other swing. Many flowers around the place, a place where it is used for study mothers to allow their children to play while they study in a multipurpose building located right on the right side of the cottage. Ayra seemed to cry on her swing. He shed his tears. She has known if she is not the daughter of Umi Laila, then lately Umi Laila's firm attitude on her makes her feel insecure. He felt that Umi Laila did not love him.


“But you dare not protest Ay?” Ask Yeni.


While swinging his swing, he held the two ropes made of rope mine, he was worried that the rope was broken, the weight of his large body made him worry if the rope was not able to support his body weight. She wiped her tears, she turned towards Yeni.


“But umi is now turning Yen, Umi often scolds me, Umi even forbids me from eating sweets and chocolates.” Ayra.


Yeni set her foot on the ground, so the swing rate stopped. He looked at his best friend who was often called a drum bodol by some school friends.


“Ay, if that's you shouldn't blame Umi. Lah you get the nickname drum bodol, soon you will be in High School, continue now you also have menstruation. About later how men will marry you if your body is so.” Babe Yeni who shook her head.


He was confused with Ayra, his best friend never protested to Umi Laila let alone complain. But it turns out he was uncomfortable lately with the attitude of Umi Laila. She is the daughter of Umi Laila.


“Who said the man married by choosing a slim body. There is no Yen. If it is beautiful, it is. But I'm pretty. My skin is white, my nose is sharp, my eyelashes are flattened.” Said Ayra who came down from the swing.


“Mboh lah Ay, maybe you will marry a man because of your intelligence, you are bitter. But if you look at your Mama's picture, you must be beautiful Ay. If slim…. Hehehe..” Goda Yeni.


He often saw a picture of Nuaima that Ayra displayed in his closet. Since sitting in the 3rd grade of Junior High, he slept in the santriwati room like most santri. He did not go to another place, when offered when going to high school later he still did not want to go to another boarding school.


Ayra sat leaning against the cakruk or a seat made of bamboo resembling a seat but like a bed.


“Krek.”


The sound of the chirping was when Ayra had sat down and climbed to the top of the place.


“Awas, clamp.” Remember Yeni, because Ayra once screamed hysterically. The bamboo section flanked the skin of his thighs when he sat down, understandably his body that bongsor make a lot of fat on the body of Ayra. Ayra did not budge, tears returned.


“Umi is now very angry with me if I miss the picket schedule. Or I prefer to read books and books, rather than doing work in the pawon (kitchen) you know myself I am now very difficult after starting to memorize the Quran. But when I just want to relax Umi will be angry if my clothes have not been washed, or my homework has not been done. I'm easily tired now Yen, Is Umi tired of taking care of me huh Yen.?” Ask Ayra.


“Eh... Eh.. princess Abi said what just now?” Abi Rohim asked who suddenly appeared behind the mango tree.


Yeni who heard the voice of Kyai Rohim, a call now that is often pinned to Umi Laila's husband. Although he prefers to be called Abi, the students who call him as soon as he let.


“Yai..” Say Yeni directly down or ndikluk. He also retreated slowly. He also retreated slowly because of the nod from the head of the founder of Pondok Pesantren Kali Bening.


After Yeni leaves, Kyai Rohim takes off his sandals. He sat in front of Ayra. Princess Munir did the same. He was Ndikluk, but the rest of his cries were still heard by Kyai Rohim. Even Ayra's left hand that was squeezing her nose could Kyai Rohim see, the niece that she had taken care of since the baby was upset. It is commonly experienced by children of teenage age. Because the mindset of children and parents is different, Ayra's understanding of Umi Laila's attitude to him is also different.


“What's up? Why is Abi's son crying? Angry at Umi?” Ask Kyai Rohim.


Ayra answered quickly.


“Mboten Bi.” The answer.


“Continue? Try talking to Abi, raise his face.” Kyai Rohim.


Yeni who from a distance still heard the dialogue of Kyai and his nephew and santri. Ayra also raised her head.


“Abi, did not in one hadith the Prophet said that women are married for 4 things?” Ask Ayra.


“Ya right. Because of religion, nasab, beauty and wealth, and choose the best religion.” Answer Kyai Rohim.


He looked at what his daughter was doing. Because Ayra is not the same as Furqon in delivering the contents of the heart.


“In the hadith the Prophet did not say to marry a woman who is smart to beberes house, smart to cook and good at organizing right Bi?” Ask Ayra.


“Then the problem is on what?” Kyai asked Rohim who lowered his head so that his forehead wrinkled as he looked at Ayra. He opened the coffee, he put it on his right side.


“Umi always angry if Ayra lazy to wash clothes, lazy to cook, lazy to beberes. While I was studying Bi, I read books. I also if relax reasonable Bi. My body is not like other friends who can move easily without getting tired quickly. Umi likes to say, later if married not surprised by all the homework. Isn't the task of cooking, washing, all the need to eat is the obligation of husband instead of wife, Ayra once read this in one book.” Ayra's protest against Kyai Rohim.


“Wah, Abi quipped this.” Say Kyai Rohim with her special smile at the end of the sentence.


Ayra looked at Kyai Rohim waiting for an explanation of what Kyai Rohim meant by the word ‘tersindir’.


“Alright, we see the opinion of Imam Malik, Imam Shafi’I, Abu Hanifah who thinks that preparing food for the husband, not the obligation of the wife or woman. But Imam Ahmad who argues that preparing food for the husband is a form of kindness of a wife. What about Abi first? If the man is rich, he can hire a waiter to help his wife not do homework or prepare food. But if the man has to make a full day's living, then does he have time to take care of the house?Like Abi first, morning until afternoon Abi was busy making a living and teaching njai. Almost no time to cook, nyuci, beberes. But Umi is happy to help Abi, but Abi helps Umi always when Abi is at home.” Kyai Rohim.


Ayra silence. Kyai Rohim continued his explanation.


“But Alhamdulilah, Abi is a match with Umi. Abi used to marry Umi not because of her beauty, her property, her family but because of her religion or her morality. Abi can't afford to hire a waiter, but Umi. Umi, the wife who sholehah because she wanted to ease the duty of Abi. Umi understand the science that obeying the husband's orders is an obligation.” Kyai Rohim.


“But can not violate sharia, Bi,” Protest Ayra again


“Did cooking, washing, sweeping, some violate the sharia if later Ayra's husband asked Ayra to help him ease his obligation about this?” Ask Kyai Rohim.


Ayra was silent, Ayra was a smart child. So that explanation and explanation based on true knowledge of its validity defeats its ego to be justified by the Abi.


“Ra, Umi takes a firm stance on Ayra. Not because Umi isn't dear. But it's because Umi loves Ayra. Now try to answer Abi's question, is Ayra sure later to marry a man who is economically established? So that Ayra is not good at cooking, some will not be a problem for Ayra's husband. Because the husband can afford the waiter?”


Ayra did not flinch, she looked up at the sky. He had no idea who he was getting married to. With the rich or the economically mediocre.


“Only God knows the things of sustenance, death and soul mate, Bi.” Ayra answered that pulled the corner of her lips. He only understands if he is being educated or shaped his character, mentally to be ready to face a future that he and his own parents do not know what it looks like.


“Wife is a place of peace for her husband, a woman's paradise if married through her husband. Not Abi and Umi, although it should still be devoted to both parents even though they are married, but to the order. Dawuh her husband more must be in amini than Umi and Abi later. Therefore, Ayra had to prepare herself, be self-assured. Not only intelligence, beauty but what should the language of Doctor Ayu which means valuable?”Ask Kyai Rohim.


“High Value Bi.” Answer Ayra.


“ But what if Ayra statures like this Bi...” Tanya Ayra is worried because she is often teased about her body being so big for her age.


Suddenly Umi Laila was present from the left side of Ayra, she sat down and grabbed Ayra.


“Then from that from now on back off to our soul mate, learn earnestly. Not just studying the books and psalms of the Quran. Adab and behavior towards others. If Ayra becomes a good person because of Akhlak's beauty, Ayra will be a woman who has charm. That charm will give a good soul mate to Ayra. Maybe we physically don't have it. "Umi Laila's Speaker.


“Dan Ayra doesn't know tomorrow her husband is rich or hard. Everyone is ready to live rich, but not everyone is ready to live hard, so Umi educates Ayra, train Ayra with difficulty, to be ready with the future of Ayra. Be difficult or happy. Because it has been provided from now on. We don't know our destiny in the future.” Kyai Rohim.


Munir and Nuaima's intelligence is truly passed down to their only daughter. Ayra turned her head back towards Umi Laila.


“Lantas if people are good for good people. What if Ayra's husband will not be good, Mi? Though Ayra has meant to be good and have charm.” Tanya Ayra who began to understand if the attitude of dear Umi Laila was shown in a different way from her perspective as a child who still chose more delicious lying down, relaxing and procrastinating work.


Umi Laila opened her bag, she took out one round object that she used to polish her face. There's a little mirror on that powder.


“The woman is like a mirror, Ra. Men can look in the mirror to see how he is, good and bad he is depicted in the mirror. It's called a mirror. So be grateful, if there is a man who is not good but his mirror reflects goodness, because his mirror is magical, that is a man who is not good gets a good woman.”Umi Laila.


“Then from that, the children of Abi and Umi must prepare. We all don't know who you're fighting with. So Umi and Abi hope if later your soul mate is not good, be a magical mirror.” Abi Rohim.


“Means magical Bi?” Ask Ayra who is still curious.


“Yes magic, her mirror wong reflects different things from her. Try to see a mirror that is not magical, this.” Umi Laia said while showing a mirror to Ayra.


“Imagine if Ayra's face is a little thin and thin must look like Mama huh Umi?” Ayra looked at her round face like a bakpao in the reflection of the mirror.


“Still angry with Umi because Umi is always angry about other tasks and jobs?” Search Umi Laila.


Ayra was embarrassed. Umi Laila hugged Ayra. He rubbed his head wrapped in a white veil.


“Umi love you, nduk. Then from that. Umi wants you and the other Umi princesses to be a magical mirror. Because umi doesn't know what your soul mate will be tomorrow. And to be that magic mirror, it takes struggle, it takes study, effort, like a sharp sword. So forgive Umi because you have to be melted, heated many times to be really ready on the battlefield.” Umi Laila's voice has been heard. Ayra was already crying in the arms of Umi Laila.


Since that day, the daughters of Nuaima and Munir have been fighting. He is ready to be born and inner in the kingpin by Umi Laila. Even tired because it is always difficult to memorize the Quran. He followed Umi Laila's advice to start fasting on Monday. Yeni from a distance not far from there really admired Umi Laila. The figure of a smart, sholihah and firm woman is also so soft.
