Love The Bule
Bailful

"Assalamualaikum.”

“Waalaikumusalam.”

Abid who was in a small room as the office room of the leader of the boarding school turned towards the door. He saw the middle-aged man who a month ago asked his sister, but broke his promise by not coming on the day that lasted.

“Pakdek Yai.”

Abid stood up to welcome Mustofa. Although he was still upset by the family's humiliation for not coming at the party. However, Abid was grateful that the incident was the best for his sister.

Mustofa approached Abid's chair and reached out. As a person who understands religion and manners, Abid still welcomes Mustofa and kisses the back of the hand.

“Please sit, Pakde!”

Mustofa nodded, then pulled the chair in front of Abid's table and sat down.

“Hm. How is Pakdek?” asked Abid kindly. As much as possible he remained friendly to Mustofa, although previously he was hurt.

Mustofa nodded again. “Alhamdulillah good. It's just, Pakde's cottage is not good.”

Mustofa gave a glance. “Your house is getting more and more santrinya, Bid.”

“Alhamdulillah Pakdek. Registration of this school year also increased dramatically, probably due to the technology system that was assisted by Jhon at that time.”

“Jhon?” Mustofa tried to remember that name.

According to rumors, Tina was married by a bule man, who was Tina's former boss in Jakarta and Mustofa had met Jhon while Uthman was still alive. After that, he never saw John again.

“Bosnya Bira who works in K-Net it?” ask Mustofa to convince.

Abid nodded.

“So right, Tina married him?” mustifa asked again, this time with a cynical look.

“Ya.” Abid nodded proudly. “Luckily, Jhon came. because it was the man that Abi had chosen for Bira.”

“You mean?” Mustofa is getting cynical.

“Before, I had no idea what happened here when Abi was alive. And turns out. Jhon already proposed to Bira before Al.”

“But Al first, because two years ago, Pakde and Abimu had agreed.” Mustofa interrupted Abi's words. The man still wants to win by himself.

“Yes, but two years is meaningless, Pakde. And before Abi died, Jhon who had preached Bira. Apparently, before Abi died, Abi received a proposal Jhon by giving his beloved prayer beads.”

Mustofa.

“I know Pakde knows this. Pakde knew that Bira had been beaten by others, but Pakde closed his eyes and continued to insist. So this is the way. God is all-knowing. He knows better what's best for his servant.”

Mustofa dead fleas. He bowed in embarrassment, then, diverted the conversation. “Bid, actually Pakde here wants to talk something.”

“Yes, earlier Pakde apologized, because that day Pakde and family did not come. Al hesitate to marry Bira who ..”

“Blind,” connect Abid, make Mustofa a little unpleasant.

“Sorry, Bid. It's not Pakde who talks that way.”

Abid nodded. “Yes, I understand. I know, my sister is disabled. Bira could not possibly be a wife who could serve her husband to the full.”

“Well that's it,” says Mustofa.

“But, precisely with the lack of Bira, he found his true love.”

Mustofa was silent again, hearing Abid's ugly words.

“Ya. Pakde doesn't want to get stale anymore. Look, Bid.” Mustofa re-routed the conversation and Abid listened. “You know, that time Pakde never helped this boarding school when he wanted to close?”

Abid nodded. He did not forget that, incidentally when it happened he was a teenager and was about to fly to Cairo, Egypt. His family's difficult economy at the time required Abid to take the scholarship.

“This is the total cost that Pakde spent at that time. there is your signature is also here!” Mustofa handed Abid one piece of paper.

Abid took the paper and looked at it. Nominal amounted to three hundred and eighty-seven million rupiah.

“Actually, Pakde did not want to bring this up, because at that time we agreed to match Al and Bira instead. But since al and Bira are not matchmakers, so Pakde asked for the money.”

Abid thinks. Currently, he does not have the funds of that amount, even if it is collected from the profits of the cottage, it is not how much. Abid deliberately did not charge a large administrative fee on santri because for him the most important area around him got a decent education.

“Pakde can take this money right? You know the condition of Pakde's cottage is declining. After all, you are on the rise, you can definitely refund Pakde.”

Abid breathed in rough. “But, Abid needs Pakde.” time

“Yes, it's okay. Pakdek thanks grace time one week.”

“What? One week?”

“Then two weeks,” says Mustofa.

Abid again let out a rough breath. He nodded and would try to find money that he thought was big enough.

“Good Pakde, will Abid try.”

“Thank you, Bid. Previously, Pakde apologized for having to do this.”

Abid nodded.

Mustofa is actually not good at doing this, but Fatimah urges them to ask for back the funds they once helped for the Tina family. For the sake of his love for his wife and do not want to be silenced, Mustofa must thicken his face.
