Tasbih Love Fatimah
Pamit From Pesantren

Long enough Zia went into the house to call the Ummah until she came out with a middle-aged woman who looked earthy and peaceful with aging figures clearly visible on her face.

"Siang, Ummah," said Halimah's mother who now stands and kisses the back of Ummah's hand which has an older age than her.

"Fatimah," call Ummah make sure if Fatimah is the same girl as the girl who crossed his mind, just understand the number of students in this boarding school is quite a lot, indeed, then it is only natural that the caregivers need extra energy to remember every santri name that is there.

"Yes, this Ummah I am Fatimah" said Fatimah with a smile made as sweet as possible.

"What's up, son?" ask Ummah in a gentle tone to calm the soul.

"Now Ummah, I am the Mother of Fatimah asking for permission to bring Fatimah from the boarding school" Halah's mother expressed her intention.

"Well, why would you suddenly want a boyong, son?" tanya Ummah who now looks surprised by the words of Mother Halimah.

"Fatimah will marry Umma," said Ibu Halimah, her face looks so bright and filled with the twinkle of happiness.

"Married? with whom, son?" Umma looked so surprised to hear the answer of Ibu Halimah, because yesterday Fatimah said goodbye to visit the mother who was sick, but now Fatimah came back and said that she was going to get married.

"What's? married married married? who wants to get married?" zia's voice was no less shocking to Fatimah and her mother.

"Yes, Fatimah I made a match with Satya, the son of my business partner," Ibu Halimah explained what really happened.

"Did Fatimah accept the match?" you are Zia who asked.

"The mother accepted it, Zia, " replied Fatimah with her head lowered to the floor.

"Why is it that easy?" he asked, the girl who grew up was always revealing everything she felt directly without anything being covered up.

"Zia, don't go on!" tell the Umma.

"Sorry Umma," said Zia with a face full of regret.

"It's okay Umma," this time Ibu Halimah who said Umma, however Zia was still a teenager and it was natural for her to ask what she had just asked.

"Fatimah accepted it because she wanted to be devoted to me, Neng," Halimah's mother who knew the reason her daughter received the arranged marriage she arranged chose to tell the truth to the Princess of influence as well as the owner of the boarding school.

For a moment the atmosphere of the house became silent like uninhabited until, Umma spoke broke the silence.

"Alright, if this has become the decision of Fatimah, I as a caregiver can only pray, hopefully the Fatimah household can last and become a family that is very wise mawaddah warohmah," said Umma with a smile that expands on his cheek, it is very inversely proportional to the expression of Zia's face, she looks sad and disappointed.

"Then I say I packed Fatimah's belongings." Pamit Ibu Halimah's.

"Yes, Mom, be careful!" sahut Umma's.

"Please do'a her, Umma," asked Fatimah before she left the living room.

"Do'a Umma is always with you, hopefully you can be happy with the new life you will live" said Umma.

"Amin" said Fatimah and Ibu Halimah together.

"Mbak Fatimah wait!" zia's voice was heard surprising Fatimah and the Mother who was walking towards the dormitory.

"Yes, Neng, what's wrong?" tanya Fatimah was confused by the sudden call made by Zia.

"Can I help you pack?" zia asked with a curious facial expression.

"Of course, Neng," replied Fatimah with a smile that was often seen on Fatimah's beautiful face.

"Well, I'll just wait in the car, don't rush to pack it!" said Mother who understands if Fatimah would want to spend the rest of the time with her friend.

"Neng, I'll drive Mom to the car first, Neng Zia will come or not?" ask Fatimah who felt bad if she left Neng Zia who wanted to help her pack.

"Here you go, don't make a fuss, Mother! you better go to the room! You can go alone, "Ibu Halimah does not want to trouble Fatimah or Zia who definitely need time to say goodbye.

"Is Mom really okay going to the car alone?" Fatimah seemed unsure of what her mother had just said.

"We take Mother first. After that just packed up," interrupted Zia who understood if the commotion that occurred was also because of her existence.

"No need for Neng Zia! I can go alone," refused Halimah's mother who felt sad if it was delivered by Zia.

"It's okay Mom, let Zia take you to the car," replied Zia who understood the feelings of Halimah Mother at this time.

The three walked to the car to take Halimah's mother to rest.

"Mom, Fatimah go to the room first." Pamit Fatimah before she left the mother in the car.

"Yes, don't worry about Mom! farewell to your roommates," Mother's message before leaving the mother who is now smiling at the Mother.

"I go first Ma'am," Zia who stood beside Fatimah also said goodbye.

Fatimah and Zia walked back into the pesantren, "Fat, how did you get that match? didn't I tell you I wanted to introduce you to my sister" Zia said, reminding Fatimah of Zia's words at that time.

Zia and Fatimah are very close, they often spend time together, although sometimes there are santri lips that complain because of envy, both stay together and trust each other, he said, the two became best friends until now, Zia who liked the nature of patience, relented, giving up, intelligent and understanding also obedient make Zia like the person of Fatimah because that's why Zia thought to introduce Fatimah with her older brother who was married but failed because his wife went to choose life with men others.

"I'm sorry, Neng Zia, I have to be devoted to Mom, that's why I received the arranged marriage that had been planned by her, Mother was sick Neng and I did not want to disappoint her," explained Fatimah.

For a moment Zia was silent without a word, maybe Fatimah was indeed not her brother's soul mate, that's why she was in a situation that was impossible to avoid.

"Alright, I understand, sorry, I was disappointed and felt like being angry with you" said Zia who now smiled at Fatimah.

"Thank you, Neng Zia has understood my position, I'm sorry also for not being able to fulfill the promise we once said together" said Fatimah.

"When are you getting married?" Zia asked back.

"Lusa, I will be married the day after tomorrow" replied Fatimah lethargic.

"Huh? whahuh? the day after tomorrow? how fast?" spontaneous Zia who felt that the marriage of Fatimah sounded so fast.

"I feel so Neng myself, but how else? everything had happened and I had to follow him," Fatimah again explained how she felt.

"What's your mom's wedding date?" Zia kept asking and Fatimah only bothered as the answer.

"Yes, Neng," this time Fatimah answered Zia's question with words.

"Have you ever met or at least seen what your husband would be like?" Zia grew curious as to what had really happened to Fatimah.

"No, I never knew who and what my future husband was like, I just accepted the match without asking much or asking" Fatimah said.

Zia was silent to be surprised by what happened to Fatimah the friend, Zia did not expect if her best friend could be at that time.

"I'm really amazed to see what you do Fatimah, in this day and age you can still accept everything for the sake of filial words that most girls sometimes never understand, but you still accept everything for the sake of filial piety, I really feel proud to be your best friend," Zia praised as she hugged Fatimah from the side.
