My Ustadz My Husband
The Part 34

Like a plague in the wind, the news of Asma Azzahra sitting in the third grade was Bilal's second wife spreading unstoppably, even somehow, her way, the news was also a warm conversation among the santri putra. Makes everyone become so curious about the figure of teenagers who said some of them 'lucky' it. but some of them look not like the news.

Asma Azzahra, a teenage girl from a small village, how can be the wife of a Bilal and the daughter-in-law of Kh Khalil.

Many ask how the story began, how and where the second meeting took place. Why Asma wanted to be married by Bilal whose age was much older than his, and how both Asthma's parents allowed his daughter to marry a man who had a family.

Why did Bilal choose Asthma?

Though many senior santri who put their hearts on Bilal, not only among the santri, some unmarried Ustadzah also put their hearts on Bilal who has a very charismatic figure.

The news, of course, is very influential on Asma, some of whom respect him because he is a member of the family who owns the pesantren, but not a few who look at him cynical and envious.

Asthma has to get through her day by constantly trying to ignore her friend's friends who talk about her behind her back.

But sometimes he becomes so angry when they tell him how sorry Khadija must stay one roof with her honey.

How great is Khadijah who is willing to share her husband and her home with other women.

How amazing Khadijah can still smile even though his heart is injured because of other women, and how Khadijah khadijah and Khadijah...

It was as if Asma was a thorn in the life of the Khadijah they loved, as if Khadijah was a woman who sacrificed for Asma.

Not infrequently Asma had to go home with emotions gg passionate, anger that he wanted to overflow, wanted to feel he told them that here he was the one who sacrificed, sacrificed his freedom, sacrifice, his adolescence and his feelings.

But he prefers to be quiet, because he feels no need to explain anything to them, because the one who lives that life is Asthma. Do they really care about the reason?

No, because all they care about is the warm gossip.

"Don't take what you hear, they also often wish to be the wife of Ustadz Bilal. You've heard them say that, haven't you?" nora tried to strengthen her friend. Sometimes Nora did not have the heart on Asma, what else she often saw Asthma who cried because she was annoyed by the gossip of her friend's gossip.

"I don't know why they have to comment on my life running out like a judge commenting on contestants"

"That's what humans are, Asthma. They'll keep talking and talking, if it's good, they'll say we're good-ass, when it's bad, they'll judge as good as good" Asma compiled her book and put it in a bag, Day has started late afternoon and the lesson has actually been over since.

Now Asma and Nora are preparing to take part in a general study that is held every Thursday afternoon, usually the study is filled by family members Kiai Khalil or Ustadz and Ustadzah seniors. the study was not mandatory, but almost all women followed him what else if the study fill Bilal.

"Who's schedule this afternoon?" asma asked as she walked out of the classroom towards the hall with Nora.

"Emm maybe between Ustadz Mukhlis or your husband" Asthma turns a puffed-up eyeball every time Nora teases herself with the word 'your husband'.

Once in the hall, apparently the study has begun, Asma and Nora sit in the back row because the place is full.

"Well, your husband is filling out the study" whispered Nora. Some students who realize the presence of Asthma, they glance at Asthma at a glance then whisper whispered with other students, Asma who had guessed what they were talking about can only sigh sluggishly. Asma tried to focus on what Bilal explained, he had to admit, he liked the way Bilal conveyed the material, short, clear and fun, in contrast to Bilal's eldest brother who filled out the study last week, which was very interesting, he seemed too serious, and it reminded Asma of Adil who was also always serious when teaching.

"Asma, tomorrow to dong's dorm, play to my room. Mumpung holiday, I really want us to spend together and tell stories, I'm also very curious about your love story with the most beautiful Ustadz in the world" said Nora who made Asma feel amused.

"A love story from Hong Kong, and whether you've met all the Ustadz in the world, you decide he's the most handsome?"

asma asked as she took out two lollipops from her bag, then she gave her one to Nora and one to herself, after unwrapping her, Asthma puts the lollipop in her mouth and Nora does the same.

"You eat candy every day, don't have a toothache?" asked Nora while licking her candy.

"That's it, I'll be diligent in brushing my teeth" Asma replied, she and Nora chatted for a while before Asma came home and Nora returned to her dorm room.

And when he was busy talking, Asma turned his head when he felt a pat on his shoulder, he found Bilal who had somehow since stood behind him which was enough to make Asma surprised, not only that, but also, suddenly he embraced her as usual and pulled the Asthma lollipop from Asthma's mouth then put the lollipop into his own mouth casually, of course it made Asthma upset what else some santri noticed them, and faint Asthma again listened to them say

"Oh Allah, so sweet indeed Ustadz Bilal "

"Okay, so want to marry if you see the intimacy of Ustadz Bilal"

"Unexpectedly, Ustadz Bilal turned out to be a romantic"

And there's so much more they say, it's all because Bilal's always been friendly to Asthma whenever the opportunity arises, no matter Asma who always begs Bilal not to treat her as a wife while in the school environment. But the man never responded to his little wife's request.

"If you want candy to say dong, in my bag is still a lot, do not take mine" Asma protested annoyed.

"Think it's sweeter, dear" replied Bilal without sin when Asma looked really upset. Nora who witnessed it also joined in smiling and began to imagine what if she was in the Asthma position, ah, she must have melted directly with Bilal's treatment.

"Nora, my wife and I have to go home, it's late afternoon. You can continue your conversation on Saturday"

"Yes Ustadz, just take this little wife of Ustadz home. Do not forget to continue your romance at home yes" said Nora while grimacing the pinch on her waist by Asma, making Nora grimace for a moment.

"Yes, that's for sure" Bilal replied as he pulled Asthma closer to him and it made Asthma rise even more.

At his house, Asma vented his frustration at Bilal and protested Bilal's behavior, which still did not want to change, though many times Asma asked her not to behave like a husband at least in the school environment.

Bi Mina and Khadijah who heard the couple arguing could only shake their heads, because at the end of this time the two often argue even for small things.

"Late last, Mr and Neng Asma kayak Tom and Jerry yes, Mom" said Bi Mina while preparing dinner at the dinner table, hearing that Khadijah giggled because he also thought the same thing "I don't think you can go to kanakan also"

"Don't you, Bi. I've been with Mas Bilal since 10 years ago also just knew Mas Bilal had a silly side of it" reply Khadijah who had been all this time he saw was the figure of Bilal mature and wise "I call them first to eat, Auntie finish it yes"

"Yes Ma'am"

Khadijah immediately approached Asma and Bilal who were still heard arguing.

"Suami Mbak tuh.." said Asma who made Khadijah smile amused whenever Asma said 'husband Mbak' as if Asma was still reluctant to recognize Bilal as her husband.

"Emang Mas Bilal, what else, Asthma?"

" I don't know what Khadija is doing" Bilal answered quickly while looking for a t-shirt in his closet and then wearing it.

"Why what is it?" refute Asma "Obviously you took my candy"

"Candy?" asked Khadijah frowning "just because of the candy doang?"

"It's not your candy problem, but...." Asma could not continue his words, he was ashamed of Khadijah if he had to say what Bilal had done "Tau ah, I'm hungry" he said then out of his room.

"Mas.." cried Khadijah to Bilal who also wanted to leave the room "Mas Bilal do not make Asma upset continue to dong, kasian right he"

"It's not my fault, he's just an irritable one, isn't he?" Bilal said with a chuckle, he always enjoyed his debates with Asthma, and whenever Asma snuffed in annoyance, then he blabbed incessantly, wanting it to feel like he was silencing Asthma with a kiss on his lips.

Khadijah could only sigh deeply, in fact he felt envious of Asma who could make Bilal's life colorful, it's not like Khadijah who makes Bilal just feel tired and worried by continuing to focus on his treatment.

Khadijah was jealous of Asma whenever Bilal was very affectionate towards Asthma based on love, while Khadijah Bilal was very good based on his status as husband.

Bilal immediately descended who followed Khadijah.

At the dining table, Asma glanced at Bilal as if to pounce on him, but Bilal only responded to him with a sinless smile.

After passing one day off, Asma returned to school very uninspired, imagining what she would hear from her friend who kept gossiping behind her as if Asthma did not know.

After the first lesson was over, Asthma was about to go to the toilet. There, faintly faintly he heard some girls chatting and carrying his name, Asma could only let out a long sigh.

"Even though Asthma is much different from Ustadzah Khadijah ya"

"Yes, right. They are like heaven and earth, why would Asma want to be married to a married man and that is much older than him"

"I heard that Asma and Kiai Khalil's father were friends, maybe that's why Ustadz Bilal and Asma were married"

"But Kiai Khalil's many friends and relatives, there must be many women who are much better than Asma that Kiai Khalil could marry Ustadz Bilal. Why you should choose Asma who is still a teenager and also comes from the village"

"Maybe Asma's father asked Kiai Khalil to marry Asma to Ustadz, who would not want to be a member of the Kiai Khalil family"

"It's true too, but did Asma's parents know that Ustadz Bilal was married? Why did Asma's mother allow her child to become the third person in the household? Her mother was also a woman, do you think about the feelings of Ustadz Bilal's wife?"

"I was also confused, besides Asma was still a child, I did hear, most villagers married young"

Unknowingly, Asthma tears just flowed to hear those who brought her parents, all this time she tried to ignore them, but her father and mother? Why should they bring them? Why do they talk as if both Asthma parents are selfish people who only attach importance to Asthma?.

In fact, his father was willing to sacrifice Asma for the sake of Khadijah and Bilal.

Asthma held her chest tight, many times she wiped away her tears but the tears continued to flow freely. Asma runs back to her classroom, seeing Asma running and crying makes Nora surprised and worried.

"Asma, what's wrong with you?" Ask Nora

But Asma did not answer, he immediately put his goods into his backpack, even now he began to sob and of course make Nora more worried. Without caring for Nora who kept asking, Asma ran out of the classroom, Nora chased him to the front gate and Asma continued to run away with tears that she could not stop.

Nora soon returns to school and searches for Khadija, whom she had seen with Mila.

"Liat Ustadzah Khadija?" ask one of the girls

"So she was with Ustadzah Mila in the teacher's room" Nora immediately ran towards the teacher's room.

"Ustadzah.." with a sigh of astonishment he called out to Khadijah who was chatting with Mila.

"Nora's? What's up?"

"Aspie...."

"Why Asthma?" Khadijah asked very worriedly looking at Nora's expression.

"So she was crying and kept running home, Nora tried to prevent her and asked what was the matter, but she did not answer"

"Oh Allah, what's wrong with him" murmured Khadijah worried, he was also about to leave but prevented Mila.

"Khadija, you have a teaching schedule today. I also have a teaching schedule, I can't change you" he told me.

"Begging someone else to change me, I have to go home "Khadija says hunt, he doesn't care about Mila trying to explain but Khadija is too worried about Asma.

At home, Bi Mina was also very surprised and worried because Asthma came home early and was in deep tears and she looked very sad, Asma locked herself in her room, no matter Bi Mina who keeps knocking on the door and asking what happened. But Asthma did not answer a single thing. The only thing Bi Mina heard was the sound of Asthma crying.

Because of the worry, Bi Mina finally prefers to call Bilal and tell him to go home.
