My husband's first love
51.Noble Purpose

"Assalamualaikum.." said Barrack and Tomy at the same time when entering Abah's house.

"Wa'alaikum.. Warahmatullahi..Rumarakatuh.." reply Abah and Umi simultaneously.

"Son Barrack. son of Tomy. Let's go in, let's sit down!"

Barrack and Tomy smile then sit on Abah's couch.

"Well, I'm sorry if I asked you, who was the man who spoke to Abah just now?" ask Barrack seriously.

"Oohh that was Haji Hasan, he was the only son of the landowner who was next to the cottage and part of the land owned by his brother had been declared for the construction of this boarding school." abah said while breathing out a long breath.

"But unfortunately Haji Hasan wanted to take some of the land that his brother waqf for the cottage, on the grounds that he did not know about the land that had been forgiven his late brother. Frankly Abah did not have that much money to replace the land that had already become the dormitory of the students and inevitably Abah had to let the dormitory building was torn down," abah said a sad laugh and Umi rubbed Abah's back to calm down.

Abah was sad to think about how the fate of the children in the pesantren, where they would sleep.

"Therefore, I will buy all the land belonging to Haji Hasan for my forgiveness for Pondok pesantren" said Barrack confidently.

Abah and Umi are shocked to hear Barrack saying, Abah looks at Barrack with a look of disbelief. Barrack returned Abah's gaze and smiled.

"Not only part of the land, but all the land belonging to Haji Hasan I will buy to build a larger boarding school Bah,"

"Goddessa.. Alhamdulillahot.. Oh God.."

Abah and Umi moved from his couch and bowed in gratitude under the floor. Barrack and Tomy who saw it were sitting on the floor with Abah Ali and Umi Ida.

"Son Barrack.. Abah does not know how to say thank you, Alhamdulillah.. God sent a good man like you to help us through our troubles, thank you so much son!" abah full haru.

"No Abah, don't thank me.. I should be grateful to meet people as good as Abah who always guides me and loves the children here, I want to proclaim this land on behalf of both my parents and my two in-laws as proof of my devotion to them, may it be a field of reward for my loved ones Bah.."

"Amiinnn Ya Robbala'laminn.. Thank you very much, son," said Abah and Umi simultaneously.

"What a noble heart, son," said Umi Ida softly.

"Thank you Umi, I'm just doing what I'm supposed to do,"

Abah and Umi nodded and smiled at Barrack's words. They did not expect Barrack told Tomy used to live a luxurious life, often drunk, his arrogant and arrogant habits now even become a kind-hearted adult man and increasingly Istiqomah in the Way of God.

"Change.please Abah contact Haji Hasan, so as soon as possible I can make payment on his land," said Barrack enthusiastically.

"Alright son, Adzan magrib has been reverberating, we should pray the congregation magrib first," said Abah and the two men in front of him nodded and followed Abah from behind.

After two hours had passed now Barrack, Abah and Notary Hansel's family sat opposite Haji Hasan and his three wives. Haji Hasan arrogantly did not want to sell his land to Barrack, he insisted on making big costs for the efforts of his three wives.

"Sir Haji, if you want to sell it to me, I will buy it at the highest price above the general price" Barrack said making the wives of Haji Hasan sparkle happily, "Not only boarding you can wake up later, you can also vacation with your wives abroad, even to hold a luxurious wedding with a new wife can also Pak Haji," sarcasm Barrack to him.

All that was there was only holding back laughter hearing Barrack's words. But Barrack's words instead made the three wives of Haji Hasan become sullen and a little annoyed.

"Ehemmmm.." Haji Hasan cleared his throat to break the tension.

"So Mr. Barrack Hansel, I'll consider with my three wives,"

Barrack smiled with a nod, and Haji Hasan and his three wives whispered to consider Barrack's offer. While Abah Ali was increasingly amazed by Barrack, the young man made the famous Haji Hasan arrogant in the village became reluctant to him.

"Alright Mr. Barrack, I am willing to sell my land to you, this is because you are forcing you, if not you I do not want to because in fact I do not want to sell my abah heritage," haji Hasan still maintains his prestige.

Tomy and Barrack just sneered inwardly.

"Thank you Mr. Haji you are willing to sell the land to me, all this business of buying and selling is now I leave it to my notary,"

Then the notary of the Hansel family came forward to take care of all the buying and selling needs and saw Haji Hasan put a signature on some documents.

"I wonder to you Mr. Barrack, what is the purpose of you buying land in this village? Are you going to build a big self-service or cosy? Though if you think about it you can lose if you buy this land at a high price if for business," said Haji Hasan curious.

Barrack smiled wryly at Haji Hasan's words.

"Over this time, I lived a life of wealth, my companies were scattered everywhere and of course all came from my father, my father, whatever I have in this world but I have never felt the calmness in my heart, because only the world that I have been chasing, so far, I have neglected to forget my duty as Servant of God and my duty as a child." Barrack let out a long breath.

"At this time I am thankful that God still guides me and that this land I will forgive in their name as my devotion to God and to my parents, as Abah Ali said based on a Hadith that the practice that will never break until we die is the prayer of the son of sholeh and charity, I think that I do this is not how much," barrack smiled.

Barrack's words surprised Haji Hasan a little and seemed to insinuate himself, immediately his face reddened with shame because he realized he was more concerned with property than his service to God and his parents.

"Waaah.. I didn't expect a young millionaire who used to live a luxurious life like you to have a noble purpose, Mr. Barrack," Haji Hasan and Barrack praised smilingly, "I thank you very much Sir and I'm sorry to go home first, Assalamualaikum.."

"Wa'alaikum.. Warahmatullahi.. Iwanted.." Answer everyone at the same time.

Then Haji Hasan left in a hurry with his three wives, he did not want to further embarrass himself.

After the departure of Hajji Hasan, Barrack vowed in front of Abah Ali and Umi Ida to declare the land he had bought. Witnessed by a notary, RT, local RW and some residents who had been invited to come. Barrack invited many people so that there would be no more problems in the future.

The pledge procession has been completed Abah Ali and Umi Ida is very happy and relieved, finally the students can stay comfortably back. Barrack also discussed the development for the expansion of the boarding house to Abah Ali and all costs will be borne by Barrack. Abah Ali was so grateful to meet someone as good as Barrack.

After much discussion about the concept of development together, they finally left Abah's house one by one because the night was getting late.

At the residence of Shafa and his mother, the age of Shafa's womb has entered 9 months. Shafa's enlarged stomach suddenly contracts. The longer the contractions were the more frequent, Shafa limped over to his mother who was in the kitchen cooking for dinner.

"Mother, Shafa's stomach seems to be contracting constantly" Shafa said in a panicked tone.

Sontak Bu Farida turned to look at Shafa who complained while holding on to the wall.

"Honey.. Don't panic! Soon I called your sister, if her contract came again take a deep breath and exhale slowly so as not to be too sick," Mother said as she called her son and Shafa nodded following her mother's direction.

After a few hours, Shafa and his mother were in the delivery room. Zain waited outside while Bu Farida accompanied her daughter to give birth inside. Farida's mother encouraged her daughter as well as the medical team who gave Shafa direction and spirit when she started straining. Later then..

"Oeekkk. ooekkk.." The sound of the baby's cry has been heard.

Instantly made Zain's heart very relieved and happy.

"Alhamdulillah O Allah." said Zain who was moved to hear the cry of his brother's baby.

After the baby and her mother were clean, Farida invited Zain into the maternity room to prosecute her brother's son.

The obstetrician smiled seeing the handsome Zain enter the room. But he also slightly scrunched his forehead feeling astonished, because the baby's face was bule but why his father also had an Asian face.

"Please come in, sir, congratulations your son, man" said Doctor Elena Rosseane.

(They speak English.. Mak directly translated into Indonesian just so it is easy to understand, hihihi 🤭🤭ngeles)

Ms. Farida, Shafa and Zain were slightly startled and then smiled at Doctor Elena's words.

"Sorry Doctor, I'm the uncle of that cute baby and exactly his mother is my sister" Zain said with a sweet smile.

Sontak makes Doctor Elena embarrassed for mistaking.

"Sorry Mister.. I guess you're the father" Doctor Elena smiled clumsily.

"No problem Doc" Zain said, then took the baby in a box and began to accuse his new niece.

Zain's melodious voice made Doctor Elena goosebumped and amazed.

"What words he said, I've heard them at a glance but only this time I heard them in person, very beautiful and soothing" he said in his heart.
