Meet a Mate at Grandpa Pesantren
146. departure of mbak sari

Zahra and the others arrived at the funeral home.The modest house measures 6 x 15. The tent was set up and the mourners had arrived.

Zahra held Chantika inside the house. The neighbors looked at Zahra who was carrying Chantika. They wonder who they are and Chantika is so close to them.

" Who are they, Chantika said he was very close" asked one of Fachri's doctor neighbors.

" Yes Sari once said that they were both orphans and had no other relatives." said the other mother.

" They are the family kyai Ibrahim the owner of Al hikmah boarding school" said the mother dressed syar'i.

" Yes right they are the family owners of Al hikmah boarding school. But what does that have to do?.".

" Fachri's doctor works at Kyai Ibrahim's hospital."

" or maybe his new wife Doctor Fachri is still Ibrahim's family."

" Mother RT.." call one of the mothers who are gathering.

" Well, what's wrong?" asked RT.

" We saw that Kyai Ibrahim's wife and her family had come to bring Chantika."

" Oh that, Kan Chantika did live there during her late home in hospital."

" Then Chantika was in a cradle with a young woman and Chantika was very close like her."

" Oh that's my grandson, my youngest son, Gus Azam, and that's Chantika's new mom" explained Ms. RT.

" Means his new wife's doctor Fachri."

" it's right."

" O Allah, the doctor Fachri was lucky to marry the woman, was beautiful, young, from a distinguished family and looked very fond of Chantika."

" He's a twin, Miss RT, because I saw a woman who looked like her walking behind him."

" Yes twins, the twin is married and already has one child. And his new wife Doctor Fachri is also a doctor candidate as well."

Zahra also entered the house and immediately approached the body of the mbak sari. Doctor Fachri who saw the arrival of Zahra and Chantika immediately took Chantika from Zahra.

" Father, my mom is not sick anymore. Mama was happy in heaven "said the three-year-old boy in the lap of the papa.

Doctor Fachri who heard his daughter's words immediately looked at Zahra.

" I'm sorry.." said Zahra quietly who can still be heard by doctor Fachri who was sitting close.

" Thank you."

After being bathed and shredded, the body was immediately taken to the cemetery. Chantika never left Zahra.

At night as usual held tahlilan, the Zahra family was still there following the order. And tonight Zahra decided to stay there. After all, Zahra and Doctor Fachri are legally husband and wife.

" This Mas Zahra brought you to eat the mas has not eaten from lunch" said Zahra while putting a plate containing food on the table.

" Kazo."

" It's sleeping." replied Zahra.

" Have you eaten?" asked Dr. Fachri.

" It was already the same with Chantika" said Zahra who decided to indeed with the name mas.

" Thank you for always being there for Chantika."

" Both mas, now Chantika is already a child of Zahra so of course Zahra will be attentive and love Chantika."

" Dek, sorry before not mas do not appreciate you as a wife. But mas need time to be alone, you will sleep with Chantika ya." said doctor Fachri who felt heartless.

" Yes mas Zahra understand why do not feel guilty.if so Zahra pamit sleep first, the food at the mas do not get sick."

" Yes thank you."

Zahra entered Chantika's room.

" Eh, neng Zahra wants to sleep here." Ask mbok nah.

" Yes mbok mas Fachri again need his own mbok."

" Yes mbak, Although mas Fachri married mbak sari because of the request of his father mbak sari. But because they were often together as brother and sister. And the promise to keep mbak sari maybe that makes mas Fachri feel guilty.it's better to sleep already night." said mbok Nah.

Zahra also took a nap next to Chantika.

Towards dawn, Zahra woke up and Zahra rushed out of the room. Because he was going to the bathroom because the bathroom was outside of his meal, Zahra chose all the baths.

When out of the room passed by doctor Fachri who seemed to have finished bathing.

" Morning mas." said Zahra and passed to the bathroom.
