Light For Gus Mu
Chapter 68: Pouting

Shafiyah sat on the sofa, put on a sour face and kept glancing out, she was waiting for the return of Wafi.

”Neng, umi want to madrasah first.” Raihanah.

”Emang there is a taklim assembly event huh mi today? kok Fiyah doesn't know." The girl was confused.

”No, umi just want to talk to ustadzah Zaenab,” he explained and Shafiyah nodded.

”Be careful ya mi."

”Yes, assalamu'alaikum."

”Wa'alaikumus Salaam."

Raihanah finally left, and Shafiyah stayed in her place while watching. Wafi finally came home, the man chatted for a moment with uminya, asking where uminya want to go. Before long, Raihanah continued her journey to the madrasah. And Wafi stepped inside the house, whose door was opened. He smiled as he saw Shafiyah sitting on the sofa.

”Assalamu'alaikum dear, I bring the food you want, green clams, ice Doger, same milk, keep snacks also.” Wafi immediately pulled out and showed what he had brought to the table.

”Wa'alaikumus Salaam." Shafiyah replied so snugly. Wafi fell silent and his smile faded. He watched his pouting wife.

”Why pout the? I brought everything for you, my dear. Smile dong, the time is so the husband came home, my hands have not been in the sun, too" he said protest. Then thrusting his arm, Shafiyah grabbed him, then kissed him violently." Honey, you why si?” he asked while crying.

”Don't laugh, another sprain too. Abi has any relationship with Ning Sabilla?" his words were raspy and Wafi was surprised to hear it.

”What relationship? nothing to do, he's my cousin."

”What a lie."

” Asstaghfirullah hal adzim, Shafiyah Umm Habibah. Don't believe? who told you I was the same she had a relationship, I'm samperin!” he said, showing that all the allegations are not true. Shafiyah just lowered her head, Wafi got up, moved to the same sofa with his wife.” Who said anything weird about me being with Sabilla?”

”She was angry with me, she seemed to say that I snatched Gus Mu from her. I don't know anything, but it's a little strange, when Gus Mu was thought to like Khalisah, Ning Sabilla often punishes Khalisah.” Shafiyah explained everything, her lips piqued and Wafi bit her lips, holding back a smile. His Habibah is jealous, so adorable if it is pouting so.

The cup! Wafi kissed his wife's lips briefly and Shafiyah gasped.

”Ah abi mah, more stories too!” her screams were upset and hit her husband's shoulder many times, Wafi laughed crisply and let him.” Bevel!" his screams were frustrated and Wafi quickly embraced him.

”Sorry neng, you are very funny if you are pouting again, but don't be long too, smile dong. I haven't seen my wife's sweet smile, her shaky teeth see.” Wafi leaned in his face and Shafiyah remained unwilling to smile, revealing her sweet smile." Honey, smile ih.”

”Miss.” Shafiyah whined, she drowned her face in her husband's chest.

”Yes yes, let's eat, I'm tired, time is not in the eating si.

”Suapin." Pinta Shafiyah and looked up at her husband. Wafi smiled and nodded. Shafiyah kept silent, and opened her mouth while being fed, Wafi continued to smile. Shafiyah never asked for valuables, food was enough for her, but as a husband. Wafi was eager to buy him anything his wife deserved. If successful, Shafiyah is the second person she will meet her needs half the mother.

******

The next day, Wafi took a walk by himself, apparently looking for someone. While passing through the hall, he crossed paths with Sabilla and Romlah. Romlah immediately lowered his head, he was nervous especially when Wafi approached.

”Assalamu'alaikum, I need to talk to you Sabilla," said Wafi directly to the core.

”Wa'alaikumus Salaam.” Romlah and Sabilla answered.

”Speaking here, we are not mahram, do not be a problem,” ketus Sabilla and Wafi smiled wryly.

”By the way were you with Shafiyah yesterday? she's my wife, and you often punish Khalisah just for misunderstanding that time? you are outrageous, stop glorifying yourself because of the Majdi title you have. What can you be proud of that title? his grandfather, Muhammad Farhan Ali Zainul Majdi, who got this name just used to be. If you were still there, he would be disappointed. The names and titles that the scholars gave him, then passed down to his children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren were instead used. Proud of you Sabilla? your actions are embarrassing and inappropriate!” wafi half shouted. Make Sabilla and Romlah shrivel in fear.

”We talk at home,” Sabilla said as she stepped up. He was ashamed that there was a Romlah next to him.

”We're not mahram, just here!" firmly Wafi and Sabilla silent.” You're here to devote yourself, right? if you're just here to get into trouble, please leave. This is not because you are looking for trouble with Shafiyah, but this is because of your excessive attitude, you cannot punish santri on the basis of dislike, and personal matters. Grown up a little, you are even older than me Sabilla. Don't make me bother here. Do not disturb Shafiyah, or recklessly punish Santriwati.” Wafi did not hesitate to give a warning, Sabilla was already teary will cry. Wafi did not seem to care, if there are santriwati or santri who were injured because of punishment from the boarding school, it would be a problem, and he did not want it to happen.

”Gus!" Ikhsan. Wafi turned his head and his shoulders were immediately embraced by ikhsan. Ikshan was afraid that Wafi would get out of control, and Wafi resigned as she was taken away.” Why Mu?" keep walking while whispering in Wafi's ear.

”Si Sabilla made because, that's what she wants? really cool, take the show disturbing Shafiyah.” Wafi.

”Billa is normal she mah, rese continues. After her husband died, her attitude was getting worse,” Ikhsan whispered.

”He seems to have had to get a new companion. He can't go on his own, disturbing the comfort of those around him.” Wafi snorted bitterly after speaking. The two continued walking together, heading to the mosque.

At home, Shafiyah was enjoying a ramjak with Fara. Raihanah just watched and enjoyed the sponge cake that Fara brought, not as good as her son made.

”Ash very!” screeched Shafiyah, with a strange look on her face and she felt her cheeks ache.

”This is just aja neng, already ranum,” said Fara while peeling mangoes, whose skin already looks yellow.

”Asem bi, Fiyah want her water guava fruit." Shafiyah bid and Fara nodded.

” Assalamu'alaikum,” the voice of a man is heard. Shafiyah pulled her niqob until her face was blocked back, as well as Raihanah.

” Wa'alaikumus Salaam." Answer all.

”Let Fiyah take a look,” said the girl while getting up. He recognized the voice, the voice of his brother's Dawn. When Shafiyah came out of the house, her brother and her father came. Both of his eyes were watery, and he immediately hugged Herman. Herman had just met Shafiyah, she was happy when she heard the news that her daughter was pregnant.

”How are you doing, healthy?

”Alhamdulillah father, I'm healthy."

”Thank God, you're fat now, I want to have a grandson of you same Wafi. Really?"

”Yes father, do'ain yes, may Fiyah's pregnancy be healthy until delivery later." The ink was hoarse and Herman stroked Shafiyah's cheeks while nodding his head.

”Always, every time dad does'ain you. Don't stress, let go of everything,” her words gently and Shafiyah nodded. Shafiyah turned her head and hugged Fajar and Dawn hugged her.

”Fat brother sister now, so funny. High luck.” The Ejek of Dawn and Shafiyah hit his chest.

”Hush!" reprimand Herman and Dawn chuckled. Shafiyah smiled and embraced her father's waist, inviting him into the house. Fara and Raihanah were very friendly.

”So come out, try neng phone si aa." Raihanah replied, asking her daughter-in-law. Shafiyah nodded and sent a message to Wafi. Herman silently glued to the simple wedding photo of Shafiyah and Wafi on the wall, which was just on display a week ago.

”Please sir,” said Fara, put two glasses of drinking water for the two guests, and put a plate containing the cake that he brought earlier.

At the mosque, Wafi immediately rushed away when getting a message from his Habibah if his father-in-law and brother-in-law came.

”Why sudden? make was-was.” Wafi murmured, her right hand rubbing her chest gently. He was very worried, afraid that Shafiyah would be taken away from him. Who wouldn't worry, if it had a mother-in-law and a brother-in-law who had possessions, and always acted out of bounds. Wafi hopes, Shafiyah is safe, only with her, and she is only for him.

Arriving at home, Shafiyah smiled at the arrival of her husband. Wafi shook hands with Herman and Dawn, he glanced at a glance, all the groceries that Dawn and Herman bought for Shafiyah. He could only throw a weak breath, not feel offended, but just keep thinking, when he could spend expensive items for his family and for his wife.

”How are you doing nak?” said Herman softly. Wafi smiled faintly, and Raihanah was speechless hearing such a kind Herman talk to her son.

”Alhamdulillah good." Wafi replied and Herman smiled.” How's dad?”

”Good dad, Shafiyah got fat like this. What did you feed?” said Herman and Wafi staring at Shafiyah, watching her closely.

”Fiyah is again pregnant, continue to snack the same meal, not anything fat too, it is impossible for thin pregnant people to kneel,” said Shafiyah defended herself. As it continued to be called fat by his father, Wafi smiled in response.

”She is beautiful,” said Wafi praised, thrown away and Shafiyah glared.

”Ekhem!” The dawn cleared quite hard and Wafi was awakened from her daydream.

”Mu," said Fara, holding back a laugh.

”Hmm what?" Wafi was confused and glanced at Shafiyah who was looking at him cynically. Herman continued to whine and caress the shoots of his son's head.

****

At Sara's cosmetics store. The woman was choosing and choosing skincare that is often used Shafiyah, accompanied by her manager who followed.

”What is my child there coming?” sara asked without looking.

”No Ma'am, last time, time no problem.” Answer the manager. After the incident of Shafiyah which was doubted by one of the employees, and the employee was fired, the girl never came again.

Sara let out a long sigh hearing it, then gave the basket containing skincare to her manager.” Packing, send it to this address." He said and gave the address of Al Bidayah pesantren. His manager nodded as well. Then leave Sara.

Sara was silent, daydreaming, her relationship with Herman was increasingly tenuous, with Shafiyah moreover, she was very bad at this time.

*****

Back at the Al Bidayah pesantren, Herman and Wafi were walking together. Talking about Shafiyah's pregnancy, Herman also wondered why Wafi stopped working.

”What Shafiyah already in USG?" ask Herman.

”Not yet, in sha Allah later. If it has been 6 months, invited also Fiyah do not want it now,” said Wafi replied.

”Keep, how do you work?"

”I have plans to open a cake shop, again look for a strategic place. Please pray'anya father, for the smooth running of everything.” Wafi replied hesitantly.

”Definitely, finding a strategic place is difficult, if you want. There is an empty store near the xxx public High School, near the market and near the factory as well. It's a strategic place, keep rame. You wanna open there?" he gave good advice, for the good of Wafi and Shafiyah.

"What is the monthly rental price? if you can know.”

”Issh you!” Herman was upset and patted his daughter-in-law's shoulder." Just wear it, it's been empty for a long time, about 6 months, it's father's. Only maybe you can repaint, so it looks better.”

”I have to keep paying dad, I want effort, not scavenge for free.” Wafi continued to smile thinly and refused.

”Neither You, please accept. This is all I can help you with, don't be rejected, it's a good place to be, rather than looking somewhere else. Not far from campus too, for example Shafiyah came home from college after you, it was not far away. You can see first, if it does not match father find another store.” Herman was adamant, maybe that's the way to make amends, even a little.

”But..”.

”Dad had a mistake in the past, only with this, maybe I can calm down a little before nothing."

”Dad why say that, age no one knows, maybe even me first. We can't guess when it happened."

”Iya's right, the money please help dad a little out of guilt."

”Whose father made the same mistake as who?" Wafi.

Herman fell silent, stopped stepping and Wafi also stopped. The two of them stared at each other right now.

”Berhan Embrace, your grandfather." Herman exclaimed as he dropped his hand on his daughter-in-law's shoulder. Wafi was silent, his gaze changed, his face pseudo let alone." I will explain everything," he said softly, so that Wafi does not misunderstand, or think bad things about him.

on the porch of the house, Dawn and Shafiyah were chatting, while waiting for the return of Wafi and Herman.

”What do you need neng? say the same brother," said the man and Shafiyah shook her head.

”Not need anything sis.” Shafiyah replied with a smile.

”You want to shop for baby clothes?” ask Dawn again.

”Kan is still a long time kak.” Shafiyah looked at Fajar while gawking.

”Yes nothing, or what? later if there is time we go to the mall ya neng," he added gently, and Shafiyah shook her head.

”Mau its the same a Wafi." He bargained.

”Yes, why." Dawn gave her consent and Shafiyah smiled.

”Bene?" ask Shafiyah again.

”Iya, we will set the time first. Take care of yourself, do not stress,” the voice of Dawn hoarse. She was very worried, especially with Sara's actions last time. Shafiyah just nodded and smiled. The two kept quiet again, Shafiyah enjoyed her snacks, Fajar and Herman brought lots of snacks and fruits, new clothes too, after Shafiyah said she experienced ***** increased eating and increased weight drastically.
