My Ustadz My Husband
The Part 90

The most grieving of Khadijah's death was not only Bilal, but also Hubab. The man even fainted to the point of getting news of his sister's death.

After all, Khadija was the one she had in this world. They grow together, learn and play together. And now, that time is a mere memory.

Hubab was so sorry that he came home that night, that he should have taken care of his sister at least to say goodbye.

Just like Bilal, Hubab felt very lost. The two men were not ashamed to cry for Khadijah's departure. Because indeed Khadijah means a lot to both of them.

Asma is also a new person in Khadija's life, but Asma feels a strong bond between him and Khadijah.

Khadija is indeed his honey, a source of jealousy that could be hate. But before the jealousy was among them, Khadija was already like her older sister, Khadija noticed Asma like her younger sister. He always spoke meekly to Asthma.

Asma covered Khadijah's body with cloth and her hands trembled, recalling the time Khadijah examined her at night and enveloped her as she purportedly slept in her bedroom first. It recalls Khadijah lovingly preparing her breakfast before school.

Asthma was unable to hold back her tears, until a pat on her shoulder resuscitated her. Her mother-in-law was already in front of her. Asma immediately rushed into the arms of Umm Mufar and she let go of her cries. Umm Mufar grabbed her and calmed her.

"Don't keep crying over her, son. Kasian him" said Umm Mufar although he himself could not resist his crying.

Khadijah was her daughter, the daughter she loved so much.

Asthma could not say a word and she kept crying.

People brought Bilal's wife's body to bathe. Mila and Dini certainly do that.

Mila also felt very lost, they had been friends for years. And indeed Khadija was a good woman, and loved her husband like a madman, for willing to do anything for the happiness of her husband.

"May Asthma come bathe her?" Ask Asma to her Mother-in-law. But her mother-in-law shook her head.

"That's fine if you keep crying like that"

Asthma immediately wiped her tears and she tried hard.

"Asma won't cry, Ummi."

"Take him, son. So that he's calm in his nature"

Umm Mufar took Asma to where Khadijah was bathed. Upon seeing that pale face, Asthma returned to shed her tears but she quickly wiped them off. His hands even trembled as Dini gave a dipper filled with water and guided Asma to splash her into Khadijah's body.

And after that, Asthma can no longer. He immediately left the place and accidentally, he passed by his husband who also looked very hit. Asma immediately poured into Bilal's arms and Bilal welcomed him.

"If I had come sooner, Bilal" Asma said sobbing, Bilal rubbed Asma's head fondly "I am so bad for letting my heart be filled with hatred. I made her live in guilt and maybe that's why she...."

"Shhttt... It's all going, Zahra" whispered Bilal in a raucous voice "All goes according to His destiny"

"But I'm sorry, I'm sorry for always refusing to talk to her, I'm sorry for leaving her and not coming back soon. I hurt her so much, Bilal. And now I can't even apologize to her anymore"

"Darling...." Bilal releases his embrace, he frames Asthma's face with both of his hands. "He's calm there, he's ready to go, right now all he needs is a prayer from us, not a tear" Bilal wiped Asthma's tears on his cheek, though deep in his own heart he was also very hit and tried his hardest to hold back his tears.

"Will he forgive me?" Asma asked half a whisper.

"The two of you have forgiven each other, you love each other and have a special bond. And that, you'll be cut off at any moment."

Bilal brought Asma back to see his wife's body.

Khadijah's body was bathed and will be sholati in pesantren.

Even the santri also grieved at the departure of their beloved Ustadzah. I didn't think they would split so soon.

There will be no more Ustadzah Khadijah who learns to teach like playing so that makes all students like to study with him. No pressure or coercion. They learn from the heart.

Hubab was there too, one of the families he had was gone. Now Hubab is alone, completely alone.

Now, Khadijah's body is in the cafeteria, Bilal and Hubab just as can't help his grief.

Bilal looked at his wife's face that looked pale but also looked calm, he seemed to fall asleep so soundly. It was as if he was having a beautiful dream.

For the last time, Bilal kissed Khadija's forehead long enough.

Rotating back in his mind when he was met with a girl sholehah who had a gentle nature, at that time he was so graceful with his beautiful smile.

Bilal recalled the time he hurt Khadijah for the first time, which was when he fell in love with his Zahra. Bilal felt very guilty. But Khadijah avenged all of that by giving Zahra his hand to Bilal.

Khadija was unable to give her children, but Khadija was an extraordinary wife because she was willing to share her husband for the happiness of her husband.

Khadijah did make a mistake, whether intentionally or not. But that is the truth of man.

And when his meridhoi as his wife is so obedient, loving and loving.

"Good way, honey. Now you can be with our children in heaven. Now you're free of all your pain." Bilal Mumbled.

He immediately straightened his body as his tears almost spilled again.

Once in the cafeteria, Khadijah's body was taken to the Musholla pesantren to be sholati.

Hubab would cry again as he carried his cousin's body, but Bilal soon strengthened it.

All santri participated in the prayer of the Khadijah Jazah and prayed for it.

After that, the final ceremony will be held soon.

Funeral.

While carrying a coffin containing the body of Khadijah, Hubab remembered when Khadijah's childhood often asked for it in a carrying on his shoulders, then he ran and made Khadijah laugh happily. And the laughter of pleasure was still heard until now.

Just yesterday his taste he was playing with his cousin, but now his cousin has left his. And it's the coffin that's now on his shoulders.

Everyone without exception took Khadijah to his final resting place, accompanied by tears of sadness and dhikr that never stopped they chanted to accompany the last journey of Khadijah wife Bilal.

When he arrived at the funeral, the people immediately carried out his duty, and Hubab came down to the grave as well as Bilal. Although Hubab forbade him because his legs might still hurt, but Bilal ignored him. He wants to take his beloved wife to her final resting place.

Hubab and Bilal put the bodies of their beloved women on the ground, took a lump of earth to make a pillow and tilted the face of the beloved Khadijah to the right, having removed the shroud and laid the wood, they all went up, and they began to cover Khadijah's body with the ground.

Hubab blinked his eyes so many times that his tears would no longer spill as he covered his sister's grave with earth.

After that, they began to plant a tombstone and continued with prayers and prayers.

"Good way my sister, both our parents and your children must have been waiting for you in nature. Now that you're with your mom's dad like you always wanted all this time, now, all the pain has gone from you, you're out of this world, you're out of this world, and this world releases you with tears, that's a sign you mean so much in this world"

All Bilal's relatives came in droves after hearing the news of Khadijah's death, even Shofia and her husband and the entire family came. They all mourned and they all prayed for Khadijah.

As well as the Asthma family and their relatives, they also came.

So that for more than seven days pesantren in liburkan because there are so many guests who come and go every day and every night.

Hubab was sitting alone in the schoolyard, still very sad and feeling all this was just a dream.

"Don't continue to grieve" Hubab turned to hear the origin of the voice. Lita smiled her thin smile and she sat down two steps beside Hubab. "She's a good person, she's a motherly person, although I'm not familiar with her, but I can feel the goodness inside of her" Lita said with a smile.

"He's the one I got, Neng Lita. We don't have anyone in the world, we've looked after each other since childhood"

"Look at them all!" Lita pointed to every corner of the pesantren, from the hall, the school yard even to the courtyard of Ummi Mufar's house, there were many guests who came "They all came to pray for Madam Khadijah. Maybe you guys do not have a family with blood ties, but everyone thinks you are his family, have you been the same You really feel alone?"

Hubab smiled faintly and shook his head. Because indeed he never felt alone, Bilal and his family were always there for both of them. Umm Mufar and Abi Khalil treated Hubab as they treated Bilal. They loved Khadijah as much as they loved Shofia.

Bilal and Asma came to Hubab. Bilal and Asma are still saddened by Khadijah's departure, which is still like a nightmare.

"We must stop this grief, Hubab. My wife would love it if we were to dissolve in this sadness. He wants us to reveal it. He's in a much better place now. We love Khadijah, but Allah loves Khadijah. And now our Khadijah is on His side."
