Aira sat down with the new students. All of them numbered twenty-eight people from the entire class.
Ustadzah Ella gave words of welcome and motivation in Bahasa Indonesia and Arabic.
Aira and the santri listened carefully. They were amazed by the eloquence of Ustadzah Ella.
“All because of Allah will be blessed with the Hereafter. The enjoyment of the world is not measured by wealth, but firm faith and sound favor are blessings that cannot be counted materially. Favoring afterlife? Yes go to heaven .. in shaa Allah.”
Ustadzah glanced at the old man with a smile.
“We will maintain the trust given to us to educate and monitor the development of the daughters of fathers and mothers, with the pleasure of Allah.”
From the corner of the room, Hanna watched the baby blue-hooded teenage princess listen without blinking.
“Maa shaa Allah, beautiful outside in you, son. Mama is shy to approach.” Hanna quietly wiped away the tears that were beginning to expand.
He was so stunned by Aira that he did not see a teenage boy enter and observe him secretly.
Suspiciously Kala observed Hanna's movements. He was very small when he was kidnapped. But Hanna's voice couldn't be forgotten. The woman came as Kala pretended to be asleep and gave orders to his men.
Kala bergidig recalls the scariest events of his life. Qiara had to enlist the help of a psychologist to eliminate the trauma to Kala.
Hanna's voice triggers past memories to surface, causing a physical reaction. Now Kala intends to dismantle if it is true that the veiled woman is Hanna, then he must protect his sister from evil women.
When sending a message:
Aya, can you move to the back? Sitting next to me?
Thoriq. He looked back and shook his head.
Kala looked at Hanna who was also looking at Thoriq and then at him. Hanna's eyes widened as she recognized Kala.
“Gotcha, it’s really you evil woman,” said Kala in heart.
Thoriq watched Kala continue to see the veiled woman at the end of the room. Panicking, Hanna rushed out of the room.
“Astaghfirullah yes, Allah, help Hanna to apologize and Aira will accept the servant again.”
Hanna decided to take ablution water. Once back, Ella was done and now the teachers and staff were introducing themselves.
Until Hanna's turn. The woman was nervous to death.
“Fathers and Mothers, santriwati, I am one of the administrative or administrative staff here. I am ready to help .. in shaa Allah ..”
Hanna couldn't say her name.
“Name ukhti, let it be known as all ..” Ella reminded.
“Oiya, sorry ustadzah, my name ... my name Early ..”
Ella looked at Hanna with a questioning look, but seeing Hanna's pleading gaze, she nodded.
Behind Kala was increasingly convinced that the veiled woman was Hanna, now he was at a loss how to tell Thoriq and Aira.
Ella added, “Ukhti Dini is the newest staff here but the role has been amazing to help us to be able to present new students today. Before I close ..”
Not yet Ella continued, the auditorium door was open. Dicky and his two nephews were caught in the door.
“Afwan ustadzah our late.” Dicky had his nephew sit among the santri.
Hanna clucked looking at Dicky in annoyance. Yesterday afternoon he had repeatedly reminded me not to be late to the new santri orientation event.
Not only late, this male does not becus even comes at the end of the event.
Dicky who recognized Hanna just sniffed his shoulders.
“Basic boys are not using!” Hanna, unaware of Dicky's presence, comforts her a little.
“It's okay, Doctor Dicky, welcome Latifah and Fatimah. After this, please meet with friends. I continue, the next session is campus orientation. Each staff will bring one santri with the family so that if there is a question and answer can be more clear. Thank you.”
Ella divided the staff. Hanna was at least relieved that she was going to deliver Dicky and his two nephews.
Kala continued to monitor Hanna's movements. I want to see if she approaches her sister.
Aira approached her brother and father and took them around the campus. He glanced at the empty car. His eyes are looking for Liam.
“Liam to mosque, Deck. Says males wait in car.”
Embarrassed by being discovered, Aira just raised an eyebrow, even though her eyes were looking for where the mosque was located.
“Mesjidnya off campus ..” Bisik Kala again while grinning wide. Aira elbowed her brother who was chuckling more and more.
From the corner of Hanna's eyes looked at the interactions of Aira, Kala, and Thoriq who looked very familiar. There was a sense of pinching but being pushed aside because this was all his fault.
“Ustadzah Hanna, I'm Latifah and this is my sister Fatimah. This is my handsome uncle named Oom Dicky,” greet Latifah with a friendly smile towards Hanna.
When he accidentally heard, he stared intently at Hanna who immediately lowered his head and took Dicky and his nephew around the campus.
“Assalamualaykum, I Ustadzah Ella, in my God willing to take Kamelia Aira around the boarding school. You're his father?”
“Waalaykumussalam, right I am his father Aira.” Thoriq clenched his hands on his chest.
“I'm Aira's sister, my name is Kala, what's the report?” Kala clenched her hands and greeted the kindly headmaster of her sister's school. Thoriq glanced at how similar Kala was to the friendly and sociable Qiara.
“Maa shaa Allah, his son and daughter are handsome and beautiful. May you be sons of righteousness and righteousness.”.
“Aamiin,” reply all three.
Ella purposely accompanies Aira and her family to find out more about their nature. From the introductions, he felt the three of them were soft-hearted people.
What he is worried about is the presence of Kala, Hanna's victim in the case of kidnapping and persecution. The teenager seems to suspect Hanna because he was watching from afar.
“What age is it? School where?”
“This year in shaa Allah fifteen. I'm only a month away from my sister.”
“Ooh? How can?”
“Our mothers are different, but we are like siblings, Ustadzah ..” Sahut Kala again.
Thoriq embraces his two children while Ella walks ahead. They will see a teaching building.
“I live in London with Buna and Daddy. School at Westbay Private School,” Kala continued. Thoriq really saw the similarity of Kala with Qiara who was easily familiar with people who were new to him. While Aira looked more like herself was a little quiet.
“Maa shaa Allah. Sorry to ask, if there is a prayer facility?”
“Alhamdulillaah. That's why my parents chose Westbay because there are facilities for worship for Muslims. Not great, but adequate. Teachers and students there are also friendly, Ustadzah.”
“There are Islamic religious lessons?”
“No, but there are ustadz and ustadzah from the mosque near the house that come every afternoon. We six brothers learned to teach and fiqh the same them. Buna and Daddy are coming too. Daddy sometimes the hell about work.”
“Ustadzah is happy to hear. When the holidays are again here, try the special pesantren men in the city next door. They have a holiday program.”
“In shayah Allah, ustadzah, maybe I invite my sisters. Because my brother is going to college next year.”
“You good boy Kala, Ustadzah happy to talk to you. Naaah, here we have arrived at the teaching and learning building. Aira, take the road next to Ustadzah.”
Ella led Aira, showing the neatly arranged and slick classrooms. Not only classrooms but there are calligraphy art studios, kitchens for cooking practices, and libraries.
Book-loving Aira loves a comfortable library overlooking the garden and pond. The sound of water gurgling gave me tranquility, it was impatient to be immersed in hundreds of books that could bring his imagination to light.
Library doors open. It turns out that Hanna also brought Dicky and his niece over to the same place.
Kala frowned, while Thoriq suddenly recognized Hanna's voice.
Nodding at a glance, Hanna inevitably explained to the group about the library.
“Ustadzah Hanna, is here a fairy tale book?” Fatimah asked while looking around.
Hanna's body stiffened, Thoriq turned to look at the woman who was standing not far from him. Kala's eyes suddenly shone in anger. Hands clenched.
Aira who was enjoying the atmosphere was dumbfounded to see the change in expression of her father and brother.
“So it's you, Hanna.” Thoriq's voice sounded cold.
Hanna. Ella immediately stood between Hanna and Thoriq. While Dicky and his nephew were unmoved, a sudden tension arose.
“What's up, Mas Thoriq and Aira? This is Hanna. Mas's ex-wife and mother Aira.”
Aira covered her mouth with both hands. His eyes looked at the woman in front of him. Closed in the veil, only Hanna's soft eyes glazed over.
“Mama?” Tanya Aira lirih
“Betul, this is Mama, Aira.” Hanna's voice choked.
Aira stood sculpting. His eyes kept staring at Hanna. Breath hunting.
“Aya, Mas Kala, we're home. Aira doesn't want to be here.”
Aira rushed towards the door, her tears streaming down.
“Aira, wait. Mama please. I want to apologize to you and your father. Also Kala. You're Kala, right? Mbak Qia's son?”
When trembling, flashes of the treatment of Hanna's kidnappers now clearly reflected in his mind. The great fear that once felt far from his mother surrounded by cruel-faced strangers regained control of his mind.
Thoriq turned to his son, touching a stiff body with teeth.
“Kala, Istighfar, Nak.”
Aira turned around and went to her mother. His eyes looked angry.
“Aira just wants to look into the eyes of a mother who could leave her baby and husband while being paralyzed.”
Without a blink he kept staring intently at Hanna.
“Aira, Mama apologizes.”
Aira did not answer. Thoriq embraced Kala who was now back pale.
“Aya, we go from here Aira, do not want to be close to this woman.” Aira's voice trembled withstanding anger, her face wet with tears.
“Aira, Mas Thoriq.” Hanna called out with the remaining courage.
“Aya, please Kala. Buna ... Buna ..” Kala suddenly shouted hysterically.
Thoriq held Kala, Aira turned worriedly to her brother.
“Mas, there's Aira. We're out of here.”
Thoriq turned to Ella, then followed Aira and Kala. He no longer looked at Hanna who was looking at him desperately.
Only able to stare at the back of Thoriq and Aira who continued to embrace Kala, Hanna fell to her knees.
“Hanna!” Ella and Dicky were shocked.
Hanna sobbing.
“Hanna knows it won't be easy, but didn't expect it to hurt this much.”
Latifah and Fatimah looked on in confusion. Ella hugs Hanna, then stands up to talk to Dicky and his two nieces.
“Sorry, I will briefly continue touring throughout the campus. Let me take Hanna to the room first.”
“Not necessary, Mom. I can be alone. I'm going to mushola only.”
“Hanna, let us take you. You look pale.” Dicky looks worried. Hanna doesn't look well and well.
“It's okay ustadzah. Besides me and Fatimah often play here when there was the late Mama.”
Hanna looked at the two little girls and then smiled. His hands touched their delicate cheeks.
“Allow me, Ustadzah.”
Ella nodded, then Dicky carried Hanna to the hospital in his car.
At the same time, Liam meets Thoriq and Aira, who still have Kala.
“Kala, what happened to you?”
“He met my mom.”
“Kala ... Kala ..” Liam panicked to see Kala now unconscious with flipped eyes.
“Uncle, take it to hospital. I'll call Buna and Daddy.”
They put Kala's stiff body into the car. Thoriq flees the car to the same hospital with Dicky taking Hanna.
The day that was originally so beautiful ended so chaotic.
***
Until the afternoon, Kala was still asleep in the treatment room. The doctor gave him a dose of calm medicine. Liam kept holding his sister's hand.
“Kala, you just have to be strong. Come back for me, please.” Liam whispered in the ear of his dearly connected sister.
Aira hugged Thoriq while crying, while her father's face was tense. Qiara and Devan are on their way from the airport to the hospital.
Thoriq approached Kala.
“Honey, hopefully you can hear Aya. No one can ever get sick again. Here there's Aya, Liam, Aira. Buna and Daddy alike all your sisters are also heading here. The Kala denger Aya? You are safe. Wake up, son. Aya kangen you said ‘Ay ay, Captain’. Aya Kangen talking to you. We all want you to wake up.”
Thoriq then whispered lafadz-lafadz Qur’an in Kala's ear.
His son's eyes were still closed. But his hands were not clenched tightly.
Door opens.
“Kala, At this time Buna, Darling.” Qiara half ran up to Kala and kissed her son on the cheek.
“Liam, can you please take care of Abby and the triplets in the waiting room. Daddy didn't let them in. Let Daddy come here. Can, right?”
“Iya, Buna.” Liam squeezed Kala's hand and went out. Not long after Devan came in. Face's worried.
Thoriq took Devan.
“Dev, I have a senior psychologist and psychiatrist from Jakarta. He happened to be in Semarang as a speaker and soon headed here. Psychologist who handled Kala as a child has died.”
“What's your acquaintance say?“
“Mother Asima said that we are now being asked to keep whispering soothing sentences. Convince Kala that he is safe. It is monitored whether the trauma that appears there is an effect on the physical, for example, continuous seizures. Long-term, he offers hypnotherapy to eliminate fears that are apparently still stored in the memory of Kala.”
Qiara approached Thoriq and Devan. “Mas ..”
“Qia, Mas really did not expect to meet Hanna. By Allah, Qia.”
“Aya not wrong Buna, please do not mistake Aya.” Aira looked at Qiara with a pleading gaze.
Qiara smiled gently. “Now, Honey. Qadarullah´s. Now we pray and try to get Kala to wake up.”
“Buna .. no Buna?” Kala's voice sounded weak.
“Kala .. Kala, Buna is here. Open his eyes yuk, son.”
“Ndon't want to, this must be a dream. Please Kala, Buna ... Aya ..”
Thoriq approaching, “When can hear Aya?”
Kala nodded.
“Now Aya's hands hold Kala's hands, feel right?”
Kala nodded.
“Aya's hand will hold Kala's hand. It won't come off. Now open your eyes slowly.”
Kala opened her eyes slowly, seeing Thoriq's face smiling at her.
“Hi Kiddo.”
“Aya .. it’s really you.” Kala hugged her father tightly. Qiara watched with Devan and Aira. Everyone is still worried about Kala.
Thoriq's voice sounded very soothing.
“Kala now look around. Look where Kala is and who is it?”
Looking around. “Buna? Daddy's? Aira?”
Qiara now hugged Kala tightly. “Welcome back, Kala.”
Kala's hand was still trembling, the rest of the trauma was still visible, but his breathing was more regular and his face looked calm.
“Adek, are you okay?”
“Mas Kala, Aira is afraid to squirm Mas Kala rigid.”
“This Mas already can mleyot-mleyot again,” he replied. His voice was still weak but he could move his body.
Now everyone can breathe a sigh of relief, because Kala has started to joke.
“When don't move too much first,” reprimand Qiara who is still worried.
“So I met Aunt Hanna. Kala was afraid of Buna. But not anymore. There's Aya and Buna.”
Qiara kissed her child's forehead and cheeks, until Kala asked for forgiveness for her carelessness.
“Buna, Kala wants to meet Aunt Hanna, many who want to talk about Kala. Kala wants to be angry with Aunt Hanna. Now he's smaller than Kala.”
“Later yes, Kala ..”
“Aira don't want to see Mama. Aya, Aira just went back to the old school in Solo. Males every Mama there must be a disaster.”
***
Hanna stared at the ceiling of the ER room. Repeatedly breathing.
“Hanna ..”
“Pak uh Doctor Dicky.”
“Tumben he didn't call me a pervert. Means really big problem,” inner Dicky who now wears a white coat.
“You can go home, the cost has been settled by Ustadzah Ella. And because you employees can get a lot of lightening. Do not be too stressed, all problems must have a way out. Pray and pray. Later you stop by the drug counter, there are blood enhancers and vitamins for you.”
“Thank you, Doctor.” Hanna got up with her head still dizzy.
“Ustadzah Ella will pick you up, now again take the car. You were here by my car.”
“Iya, Sir. Uh Doctor.”
“What's the origin don't that ..”
“Cabul?” Hanna raised an eyebrow.
“Ck ... hsssh there go home.” Dicky grunts but still drives Hanna to get the medicine and waits in the car.
At first glance Hanna sees someone she remembers as her fiance Qiara holding one daughter and three super-scathed boys.
From their faces, Hanna was able to deduce that the children were the daughters of Devan and Qiara.
“You know them? That's what a famous doctor is. His name is Doctor Devan, he successfully developed a new method for tube babies. Said one of his kids was being treated here.”
“Child connect. Name's Kala. The handsome teenager who was with my son and my ex-husband.”
Dicky did not comment. Before long a beautiful woman in a blue hooded flowers and wearing a matching tunic came out with Aira and a tall teenager who made Eve glare because of her good looks.
“Aira .. Mbak Qia ..” Hanna aghast.
Dicky looked towards the group who were now riding in a big car.
“My life is complicated. All my fault,” lamented Hanna shriveled.
“Yes yes, cook me wrong..”.
Hanna's eyes squinted towards Dicky who was sitting casually next to her.
“There are non-sensitive creatures like gini, his inner”.
“Do not look around, if I have a crush I do not necessarily want.”
“Subhanallah, I'm waiting under a tree. Mending talking am ant.”
Hanna walked towards the shade tree with a park bench attached underneath.
“Kok ngikutin, Doc?”
“I've never seen anyone talk about ants. Who knows be scientific findings and I could be as famous as Doctor Devan.”
Hanna turned around, her eyebrows raised. Instead of retreating, Dicky passed him and sat down on the bench.
“Udah here, luckily you low blood pressure, short axis ” Dicky patted the bench telling Hanna to sit down.
“You ever seriously?”
“Even, if it is not the same you.”
“I do not need to be taken seriously,” cetus Hanna lamented.
“If you want to think like that, it will happen. There are ants. Gih.” by the way
“Yes Allah Gusti, patient paringono.” Though complaining came a glimmer of a smile on Hanna's lips.
(God, give patience)
Dicky glanced and smiled silently.
“Solve your problems one by one, the way he thought that do not be so girl, you know. Many drama. Not going to be done.”
“I'm confused where to start.”
“From origin. I don't know exactly what your problem is, but somehow, it seems like God is putting everyone who has the same problem as you in this place, right now. God must have a certain purpose. Your job is to think, not cry.”
“I ruined Thoriq and Qiara's marriage. Looks like I have to start from there before I get to Aira,” thought Hanna.
“Nah met,” said Dicky as if he could read Hanna's mind.
“Sotoy!”
“Not that means Ustadzah Ella managed to meet you. Stay there.” Dicky pointed with his chin raised towards Ella's Ustadzah.
Hanna laughing. Somehow he laughed. Laughter that may be a dozen years old never stops.
Dicky smiled happily.
“Still, Doctor. I'm pampering.
Dicky looked at Hanna who passed towards Ella, then muttered, “Hmmm, maybe I should change psychiatric specialist.”
