45 Minutes ustadz Yusuf drive. Soon he and Ais will arrive at the boarding school.
"Ais, bagun.." ustadz Yusuf woke up Ais.
"Oice.."
"Eum.." The ice is starting to wake up. "Are we there yet?" ask Ais with a special face wake up.
"A little while we're up. You drink first. Let seger."
Ice also obeyed the words of Joseph. After the minun, the ice feels fresher. Ais had prepared his mentality to stay in the pesantren. Everyone will surely know her as the wife of the son of the owner of a famous boarding school. There will be people who don't like him.
"Mas, the guy in the boarding house knows you're married to me?" ask Ais.
"Udah." answered ustadz Yusuf.
"Well.."
"Why? You don't want anyone to know?"
"Not want to. People certainly disagree with our relationship."
"Why not agree?"
"Obviously I disagree. Me, an ordinary woman who is not a worship expert. I'm not smart, I don't have achievements. Moreover, I am not beautiful. Along with you who are worship experts, smart, smart, authoritative and handsome. As if heaven and earth knew nothing."
"Ish. You can't talk like that. All the praise you say is worthy of God alone. I am just a sinful creature. All humans are the same. Differences exist only because of our own judgment."
"Yes, um.."
5 Minutes later they arrived at the school. Already many santriwati santriwati waiting for the arrival of Ais and Ustadz Yusuf. Ais and Ustadz Yusuf were greeted with shalawat chants from the santri.
"Come.." take ustadz Yusuf.
The ice looked unprepared to get out of the car.
"You nervous?" ask ustadz Joseph and get a nod from Ais. "Bismillah yes. You can." ustadz Yusuf gave Aiz encouragement.
"Yes.." Ice is very nervous. He did not expect his arrival would be welcomed by the entire santri here.
First Ustadz Yusuf got out of the car. After that, Ustadz Yusuf opened the car door for Ais. The ice came out of the car.
The santri are very curious about the figure of wife ustadz Yusuf. They could not wait to see the wife of Ustadz Yusuf.
Ice out with a smile. Even though his lips were smiling, but his eyes were staring flat. Ice is like that. He was not used to the crowd. Especially now that he was the center of everyone's attention.
"Assalamu'alaikum.." says ustadz Yusuf.
"Wa'alaikumsalam." replied the santri.
Many praised the beauty of ice. It is undeniable that Ais is a beautiful woman who has 1000 charms. If anyone praises, then there are also those who criticize. Not a few of them do not like ice. The reason is only one. That is because she was the wife of Ustadz Yusuf.
Ustadz Yusuf and Ais immediately experienced the abi Bahar and the Umi Maryam.
Long story short, now ustadz Yusuf and Ais are in the family home. Ice and ustadz Yusuf sat on a long sofa.
"How's your trip going?" ask abi.
"Alhamdulillah bi, smoothly." answered ustadz Yusuf.
"There's no problem, right?" ask umi.
"There is no Umi." answered ustadz Yusuf.
"Ais, do you have any pain?" ask umi.
"There's no umi. Thank God, Ais is fine." replied Ais with a smile.
"Yusuf, take your wife to the room. Let him rest. He must be tired because of the long journey." said Abi.
"Iya abi." nods Yusuf.
Ustadz Yusuf took Ais to Joseph's room. Like most married couples, they will live in the same room. Ice went into Joseph's room.
"This is your room?" ask Ais.
"Yes that. The time of Kia's room." replied ustadz Yusuf ended with a joke.
"Good.." praise Ais.
"Now this will be our room."
Ais nodded her head.
"You rest first. But don't sleep. I want to take a bath." said Ustadz Yusuf.
"Yes mas.." obedient Ais.
Ice sat on the sofa in the room. He traced every corner of Joseph's ustadz room. Ice got up from her seat and went towards the window.
Ais stared out the window. From that window, he could see a large area of the pesantren. He did not expect to be able to stay in the pesantren. He never dreamed of going to a boarding school at all. This is the first time he has gone to a school.
"Ais.." call ustadz Yusuf.
"Yes mas." replied Ais turning her body.
"What are you again?"
"I saw out again. Many students who study in this pesantren."
"Yes Alhamdulillah.. You take a shower. Your body must be sticky."
"Yes mas. My body is like Babol. Sticky." cetus Ais.
Ice goes into the bathroom and begins to perform the ritual bath.20 minutes passed, Ais has come out in full clothes.
"Ais, go to the mosque. Do you want to come here or go to the mosque?" ask ustadz Yusuf.
"It's just here." replied Ais.
"Why?"
"Ais tired. Pray here."
"Yes already. Mas pamit, Assalamu'alaikum."
"Wa'alaikumsalam.."
Ustadz Yusuf went to the mosque.
Adzan ashar bekumandang. Ais immediately performed the prayer of Ashar, then he continued with the Qur'an.
When it was over, Ais was bored in the room. He also went outside the room. He's looking for Kia. He wants a friend to talk to. Ice around the house. All know the house. As he headed for the kitchen, he saw Umi Maryam was cleaning the kitchen utensils. The ice is approaching the umi Maryam.
"Umi.." said Ais.
"Eh, Ice.." Umi smiled back.
Ais returned the smile of Umi Maryam sincerely. Ice helps Maryam's umu activities.
"You don't have to help Umi. You sit down." umi said.
"No umi. Ais wants to help umi." reject Ais.
"You'll be tired."
"Will not be umi. It's just a tired time."
"It's up to you.."
A smile of victory.
"Why did you leave the room? You should rest." asked Umi.
"I'm bored umi. So I'm out. Umi, where's kia?"
"He is teaching. It's routine at the pesantren"
"Oh. I deserve to find nothing"
"Why are you looking for Kia?"
"There's nothing special. But I want a friend to talk to."
"Oalah. umi can also be your talker."
Ais smiled at Umi's words. After finishing cleaning the kitchen utensils, Ais and Umi sat together in the living room.
"Ais, umi wants to talk to you" you said looking serious.
"Speak what umi?" asked Ais who was strange because umi Maryam was suddenly serious.
"You love your husband?" ask umi.
Ais speechless. He was confused as to what to answer.
"Why did Umi ask like that?" Nervous Ice.
"Umi's color wants to know." umi replied.
Ais was silent again.
"You must not have loved Joseph, right?" guess umi.
Ais stared at Umi Maryam.
"Listen baby, now you're a married woman. You have a duty to your husband. Be it dohir, or inner. Umi knows you haven't loved Yusuf. But I hope you will soon be able to love him. He loves you so much. Umi and abi don't think of you as our daughter-in-law. But umi and abi think of you as our own son. If there is a problem, you do not hesitate to talk to umi, or abi." said umi.
"Good Umi." retorted Ais with a smile.
