Ares parked his car in the parking lot of the An-Nur boarding school. It's getting dark. The sound of the mosque being taught is heard indicating the time isya will soon arrive.
Fatih got out of the car first. The journey, which took almost two hours, made his little back hurt a little. He stretched his body muscles.
" Fatty huh?." Tanya Ares saw her son who was like he was so exhausted.
Fatih shook her head slowly. " It's just a little." Say it with perfect pronunciation. Fatih just can't say the letter R
" right? You can rest later after praying Isya. No need to study." Ares did not want to make his son tired. That was why, he did not allow the son to come along
" I'm fine. No need to worry!." He remains stoic. This stubbornness was very similar to his mother.
Ares breathed slowly. " Okay, but if fatigue says."
" So ready!." Raise his hand in style as if respecting the flag
Ares chuckled, he then carried Fatih. " Where are we going, abi?." Fatih asked in Ares' arms
" To Umi Sarah's house with Abi Soumad first, after that we just went to the mosque." Ares said and started to step up. Fatih only the mangosteen heard it.
Not until a few minutes they walked, the house was quite simple but beautiful it was visible. Ares lowered Fatih and knocked on the door.
Tok..
Tap it with one hand holding Fatih's tiny hand. " Assalamu'alaikum warahmatullahi wabarokatu." Greetings Ares a little screaming.
" Assalamu'alaikum." Fatih Shouted
Chequek...
" Wa'alaikum salam warahmatullahi wabarokatu." Umi smiled warmly at who was coming. " Uh! Ahmad boy, come on in."
Ares smiled and shook Umi Sarah's hand. " Let's have a good greeting with Sarah's grandmother." Fatih complied and kissed Umi Sarah's hand.
" This is your son Ahmad?." Ask Umi
" Yes Umi." He said with a smile.
" Uh! Astaghfirullah let's go in first." Umi let the two in
" Sit on the couch first." Ares and Fatih follow Umi Sarah and sit on the sofa.
" Want to make you a drink?."
" No need for Umi, soon enough isya time. We just stopped by to say hello." Ares answered with a smile.
Sarah sat on the sofa. Ares smiled, but he could see the sadness in Ares's eyes. Umi Sarah does not want to interfere in the affairs of others.
" Okay, but everyone has gone to Ahmad's mosque."
" It's okay umi, later after graduation I stop again."
Umi Sarah smiled. The man in front of him was very friendly smile. A smile that was soothing, and made everyone calm to see it. Sarah's eyes again saw Fatih who had just been silent listening.
" Your son is very similar to you well." Umi Sahut. He was a little surprised to see the eyes, nose and lips that were like no stranger in his eyes.
" His name is also my son Umi. My childhood resembled Taufik's, wasn't it funny."
Umi Sarah laughed at that. It's true what Ares said. 'maybe it looks just like' Sarah's inner heart.
" Oh, whose name is son?." Ask Sarah to Fatih
" Fatih grandma." Fatih
" What a good name. Oh well, umi would like to introduce you to this new member of the family."
Ares's forehead is wrinkled. New member? You mean there's someone else? " Did umi give birth again?."
" No, not blood. I just thought of myself as a child. But now he's going to the same mosque as Nurul. Name's L..._"
Allahu Akbar's... Allahu Akbar
" Abi has adzan." Pulling Ares's sleeves
" ah! Sorry about Umi. We go to the mosque first." Umi smiled as she nodded.
" Later we will be here again. Assalamu'alaikum warahmatullahi wabarokatu."
" Wa'alaikum salam warahmatullahi wabarokatu." Ares carried Fatih to the mosque where he would deliver a lecture later.
In the mosque where ablution for men and women is separated. The entrance is also separated. There is a barrier on the line of men and women using curtains. But, if the event of his recitation in the beginning of the curtain it will be released.
After the prayer, the event began. The host eloquently opened the lecture on the pulpit of the mosque.
Ares sat in the front row. He had to look up more to see the person who was on the pulpit. While Fatih is in the back row with his peers.
For some reason, when the prayer was over, Ares' heart was racing. Doesn't he know why? But a feeling of comfort suddenly burst out behind the chest.
Until the host called the one who would bring the holy verse of the Qur'an to the recitation tonight.
" The next event is the recitation of the holy auat of the Qur'an in Shaa Allah brought by Ustadzah Lyza, to him in the submission."
Degs...
Ares freezes. The lyza? Which lyza is it? Is that maybe his wife? Lyza is not a market name.
" Assalamu'alaikum warahmatullahi wabarokatu." Hail Lyza from the pulpit. He did not look at the male line, but focused more on the female line.
Degs..
With this voice, Ares looked up at the pulpit. Deg. deg..
'Lyza meets'. Ares' tears seemed to spill over to see who was on the pulpit. He wanted to run to hug his wife, but as much as possible he held her back.
His estimate is not wrong, Lyza is indeed in this pesantren. Ares smiled at the wife who started reading the Qur'an. The sweet and sweet sound was missed by Ares.
Ares wiped away the tears that had welled up in the corner of his eyes. " Why Ustadz?." Fahmi asked beside Ares.
" ah! No Fahmi, it's just that his voice is so melodious." Ares. Fahmi was the younger brother of the class in the pesantren first.
" Yes, it's very sweet." Timpal Fahmi with a gaze staring at Lyza who is inexplicably...
Taufik who was right next to Ares saw the gaze Ares gave Lyza who also I don't know, but Taufik knew the meaning of the gaze.
'was Ahmad interested in Lyza? Isn't he married? But his gaze was like someone he missed! What mean?' Taufik shook his head slowly. Later he thought again, the important thing now is that he must hear the chanting of the holy verse of the Qur'an brought by Lyza.
" amma?." Fatih wondered when she saw Lyza teaching. He remembered his mother's face, which he held every night.
" Why is it?." Tanya Akbar, son of Taufik
" That's Fatih." Designating Lyza
Akbar, who was only 6 years old, did not really understand what Fatih meant. Isn't Lyza his ustadzah and his new aunt?
" No. She's Lyza's aunt, not your uma." Akbar. Fatih just kept quiet and they continued the play that had been delayed earlier by whispers.
After Lyza brought the holy verse of the Qur'an. He also came down from the pulpit. Lyza never glanced at the line of men, she followed the teachings of the husband who said to always subordinate his gaze to men or women who are not mahram.
Ares can't just look at Lyza who went from there without looking at her. He was eager to stand from there and meet his wife, but Taufik held Ares' shoulder. To immediately go up to the pulpit to fill the lecture.
While Lyza who just came out through the side door of the mosque, he was about to go to the toilet. Suddenly he wanted a pup.
" Uh! Nurul what are you doing here?." Tanya Lyza Sees Nurul in front of the ladies' toilet door. " Pup too?."
" No brother. I'm suddenly coming to the moon." Nurul answered, closing the toilet door
" Don't close, I'm going in." Holding Nurul's hand
" There is no water. The pipe's broken." Nurul's words must have made Lyza shocked. He couldn't stand it, but tried to be calm.
" What's right?." Lyza Mumbles
" I want to go home, brother, clean my bottom. I don't think I'm going back here." He could not enter the mosque either.
" Uh! Wait I want to go home too. Can't stand it, say goodbye to umi first." Lyza immediately ran bamitan on umi, while Nurul first went home. Nurul felt that the one below was suddenly flooded.
After saying goodbye Lyza immediately ran home. He really could not stand it, his stomach also could not be compromised, very powerful. Sayup-sayup on the Lyza trip heard the sound of people lecturing.
He stopped, then turned to look at the mosque where the source of the sound. Like hubby's inner voice. He shook his head 'that's impossible'. Lyza ran back.
While on the other side
After the study was completed, Ares was wailing to find the whereabouts of Lyza.
" What's up Ahmad?." Ask Taufik. He came with Abi Soumad
" Uh! That was the one who taught Lyza, wasn't it?." Ask Ares.
Taufik and Abi Soumad looked at each other. " Let's sit down first." Abi Soumad. They also sat on the carpet
" Yes, it's Lyza. Wh why? Remember you're married." Abi Soumad. Ares just smiled hearing that.
" That's abi." Says Ares
" why? You know Lyza?." Ask Taufik.
" He's my wife." The two words Ares said left the two men in shock. They're shocked. Fahmi who accidentally passed there had heard the words of Ares, he also stiffened.
" How could it be?."
" Lyza ran away from home. I don't know why, I don't know either." He breathed at the end of the sentence. Ares does not want to expose the disgrace of his wife.
" Are you sure?." Ask abi make sure. Lyza's story with Ares is very different. " Just be honest as it is."
" Yes, having a wife of two is honest." Timpal Taufik, this trait is very similar to the younger brother.
Ares was shocked to hear "Abaghfirullah, the slander from which it was. I only have one wife, one makes confusion how about two." He did not accept such slander, he could not betray Lyza
Ares then told him the truth. He recounts when Lyza got out of prison but they did not get any info. Ares also relates that he is now searching for the whereabouts of his wife, and it is true that he is here.
After hearing Ares's story. Abi and Taufik looked at each other. The story Ares tells is true, as Lyza tells it. But he chuckles when he remembers the misunderstanding made by Lyza himself.
" I'm confused myself why Lyza doesn't want to go home all of a sudden." Ares.
" You ask him yourself." Taufik wanted to laugh again. He could not wait to see Ares' expression when he found out what Lyza would say later
" So, where's Lyza been all this time?." Ask Ares. The basic soul mate is not going anywhere. Just look at Ares and Lyza.
" Your wife is home." Abi speech. Ares was a little surprised to hear that.
Ares then stood up. " I want to meet my wife right away." Said enthusiastic. He did not expect Lyza to be this close to him.
Taufik and Abi also stood up. They mumbled a smile at Ares who was very excited, his face was like a kid brother who was going to have a weekly night with his girlfriend.
" Babe..." Fatih shouted towards Ares. Ares immediately carried Fatih
" Abi, Fatih saw Uma there." Pointing to the pulpit
" Really?." Ask Ares to make sure. And answered with a quick nod from Fatih.
" But she's Lyza's aunt." Timpal Akbar, the boy held the hand of Taufik, his father.
" That's true, Lyza's aunt Fatih." Taufik stroked the son's hair.
" Are abi?." Ask Fatih with a glowing face. Ares nodded in response. Taufik and Abi Soumad only realized when they saw Fatih, apparently the boy's eyes, nose and lips were very similar to Lyza.
" Let's meet uma." Ares said enthusiastically. " We go first well, Assalamu'alaikum."
" Greetings wa'alaikum." After getting the greeting Ares went straight from there. He quickly walked while holding Fatih.
While the two people who were left behind just shook their heads to see him. Though they will also go home, but it seems like the two people do not want to disturb Ares who is excited.
