Alira got up from her seat and put the cell phone in her hand on the bed and went to the door when she heard someone knocking on her from outside. Alira opened it, where Ayu was standing.
"Ning Alira was called, Miss Nyai is in the living room," Ayu said, her thumb pointing in the direction in question.
"Yes, I'll be there. Thanks, Ayu."
Alira Closes the door again after Ayu says back to the kitchen and immediately tidies up her slightly messy appearance then goes to the living room.
"Ummi call Al?"
Ms. Nyai Halimah immediately closed the book she was reading and turned her head to the voice and smiled.
"Ummi's company!"
The shady-faced woman got up from her seat, keeping the book back where it belongs.
"Come on!"
Alira simply did not dare to refuse and followed her mother-in-law from behind. It turns out that Nyai Halimah took Alira around the cottage, introduced her to her students because since Aliya came, her daughter-in-law had never even been invited to mutter.
Ms Nyai also told me about the activities in her cottage. Alira listened while occasionally nodding her head and somehow Alira started to be interested in the santri world, it seemed very pleasant. All this time his life was - that's all he thought. College, play, go home and go to college again because that's why Alira wants to work so that her life is not monotonous.
Ms Nyai glanced at the clock on her wrist, it was time she listened to the santri who was about to deposit memorization.
"If you want to go around Ummi callin Ayu yes to accompany you because Ummi must go to the mosque" he said staring at Alira.
"Oh, don't Ummi I can do it myself."
Although he did not know how extensive pesantren owned by his father-in-law, but Aliya sure if he would not get lost. If he gets lost anyway still in the pesantren area and he can wonder.
"Yes, then Ummi stay first huh?"
Alira nodded then continued to go around while occasionally greeting the santri who was passing by her.
"New Santri. You know me?
"No. Uh, no. I think he's a relative of Bu Nyai because he lives in ndalem."
"Ah, the hell time?"
"Yes I've seen it at Nyai's house."
"Oh that?"
"Yes." Yeah."
Alira didn't want to clarify what the two girls were saying for what? Gus Irham should have introduced him from the beginning instead of locking him in the house. Or maybe he's embarrassed to have a wife who let sholehah sholehot not yes.
"Pressure, left or straight?" Alira was confused, she said to herself as she looked at the fork in front of her. Alira wants to go back home after feeling tired of pesantren.
Alira was a little amazed to see the atmosphere of the pesantren that looked neat and clean he was also amazed by the Santri Mothers who wore sarongs and hijabs all day, is not it sultry? He was alone and angry.
Suddenly Alira's steps stopped when he saw Gus Irham was with a girl not far from where he stood. Alira did not see the girl's face as it turned her back.
"Gus!" Call approaching. Ning Alia hurriedly rubbed her face with the tip of her hijab then shifted next to Gus Irham.
"I'm straying" continued Alira and turned to the girl who was with her husband. Yes, he knew it was Ning Alia. Alira then remembered there was something she wanted to ask Gus Irham, but later only when she returned home.
"Emmm ... Al, this is Ning Alia. He's the lodge manager."
Alira extended her hand in front of Ning Alia, but the girl was not immediately welcoming. Ning Alia scanned Alira's body from top to bottom.
"Ning Alia." He shook Alira's hand.
"Iira." Then they let go of the hand link. Is this just Alira's feeling or what? Highlighting Ning Alia's eyes was like looking down on her.
Gus Irham then invited Alira back to Ndalem, but Gus Irham even chatted first with a man who Alira did not know, but he did not know, but if seen when they speak it seems like it is ustaz in this pesantren.
Though Alira already impatiently wanted to quickly get home and asked who Ning Alia was.
"Gus, Ning Alia who's ready, Gus?" ask Alira to the point once they are inside the room. Gus Irham who was about to take a towel and then turned to his wife.
"Why?"
"It's okay to just know" replied Alira lightly.
"You jealous?" go to Gus Irham.
Alira clucking. They were married because of the matchmaking even, she had not had any feelings for her husband so where could she possibly be jealous?
"Why am I jealous?"
"Yes I don't know maybe you're jealous of Ning Alia?"
"Where is. I can't be jealous of him. Not a level."
Gus Irham approached up to a distance of only one meter so that Alira could smell the perfume that her husband wore especially when Gus Irham pointed her body in front of him.
"But I feel like a husband being interrogated by his wife out of jealousy."
Glug
Alira swallowed her saliva with great difficulty.
