Sari and Musa sat next to each other as Moses' hands clasped Sari's shoulders. Rashid had fallen asleep and now laid on a small mattress placed in front of Sari and Musa, Sari was deliberately carrying a baby folding mattress in case Rashid fell asleep like this. Sari is trying to be a standby mother.
The event still continues with the singing race, now the last participant, it turns out that the handsome lecturer who was on getting off the bus asked that Bi Nunung pray for.
" I'm going to do an old school song, a nostalgic song, this is my father and mother's favorite song, because he both listened a lot, so I memorized it" said the handsome young lecturer. Cheers and applause were heard.
" It seems like this song is very suitable to be sung here, because this place is also hilly, like the title of the song that I will sing, 'Bunga Hill', this song is also dedicated to a beautiful girl who is currently here" Yusuf said while looking down embarrassed, because the girl is indeed a very special girl for him.
The music flowed, a nostalgic song with a melody and lyrics that are very romantic, making all who were there sing along with Joseph, including Sari and Musa, even bi Nunung also sang.
*On the beautiful hill flowering*
*You brought me there*
*Getting the surrounding nature*
*Because dusk has arrived*
*Sink commentary*
*On the blue mountain*
*Silent red sky*
*We also went down together*
*Crossing the trail*
*Your hand is hugged on your shoulder*
*Bring me step*
*Not forgetting you quoted*
*Purple color flowers*
*Then you tuck it in my hair*
*Flowering hill*
*Beautiful hill*
*There we always come both*
*Honey love*
*Flowering hill*
*Beautiful place*
*There we always come both*
*On the flowering hill*
" Whose name is Mas?", Sari asked the young lecturer who was singing in front while looking fixedly at the red-hooded girl.
" Yusuf Maulana, used to be at Joseph's grill, maybe he's the same age as you love".
Sari just nodded and looked back at the direction of Joseph's eyes.
" It seems like he likes Nisa, from earlier he kept staring at Nisa without turning away for a second".
Moses smiled at Sari's words, "was Joseph asking Bi Nunung to pray that he could unite with Nisa, as bi Nunung once prayed for us".
" When he was a lecturer, but when he liked someone, he still acted absurd and childish".
" Not much different from Mas, fit again deketin Sari first", Moses immediately laughed discordantly, feeling embarrassed.
At 12 noon, the singing competition was over, the final result of Joseph being the winner of the race, getting a free stay voucher at the hotel owned by Moses, of course never imagined by a young man who was single like him.
" I am very grateful for this gift, but if possible there is no expiry time limit, Mr. Musa, because the voucher I want to use after I have a wife someday, hehehe", automatically the words of Joseph immediately got cheers from everyone.
The event continued with prayers at the mosque near the bus parking area, after which all entered the bus and headed for Musa's hotel, lunch was held on the second floor of the hotel.
" This is how it should be as a teacher should have another business like Mr. Moses who has a hotel like this".
" So the family economy does not depend on the income of a teacher, which is just how much" said Mr. Imam, one of the senior lecturers, patting the shoulder of Moses sitting next to him, one table in the hotel restaurant.
" It is true, Mr. Imam, I also agree, but if everyone knows, it is not only this hotel that makes Mr. Moses a successful man, look who his wife is, a young doctor who works in a government-owned hospital. Surely his income is also not inferior to Mr. Moses", added Pak Bani.
But someone disagrees with Mr. Bani's opinion.
" The income of doctors is not as much as you imagine, especially the wife of Mr. Musa will not open her own practice, she only works in a government-owned hospital because she has to divide her time, balancing between work and her role as a wife", Ms. Zani who sat next to them chimed in, because her husband also worked as one of the financial staff at the hospital, know how much the doctors pay.
" Is that right, Dr Sari?".
Sari nodded, "The doctor is also like a teacher, a job with the aim of being able to benefit the crowd, if you want to work that produces rupiah coffers, you have to do side business".
" So this hotel, Pak Musa's side business huh?, I became inspired to start a side business as well" said Yusuf.
" It's not just hotels, there are workshops, clothing stores, restaurants, and many other side businesses that Mr. Musa owns", Dawn, said, musa's trust to manage the hotel came to the restaurant to welcome his boss along with a fellow lecturer at the campus where his boss taught.
Moses only smiled hearing the talk of his teaching friends on campus with Dawn, who had studied at IAIN.
" Wah..wah.ini.ini..alumnus IAIN who is now a successful person, managing the hotel with his wife, I remember very well the situation was, still dirty and concerned, now look, see, already a hotel manager, who can think what it looks like when he was in college first", joked Mr. Imam who used to be quite close to Dawn.
Dawn immediately greeted Mr. Imam and all the male lecturers who had taught him. While Aisyah, the wife of dawn, also greeted Sari and the female lecturers as well as mothers who were wives of the lecturers at IAIN.
Fajar allows the group to relax and enjoy the dishes available, then say goodbye to having to go back to work, there are still several meetings with prospective tenants of the hotel ballroom, for the wedding next month.
After the death of Dawn and Aisyah, they returned to chatting casually after eating, because the time to rest until 2, only after that the family gathering event will be back in the beginning with the next event agenda.
That afternoon even Moses as the main discussion of the group, making everyone who used to not know Moses too much, a little more about Moses.
" Something actually makes me curious, if you already have so many businesses, why is it that you are still a lecturer as well as Mr Moses?", Joseph was very curious, and increasingly admired the figure of Moses.
" That's why I've been pursuing it since I got to High School".
" It can teach and share knowledge with others, be a human being who benefits others, and of course by broadcasting religious teachings, together we lead a better life".
Joseph frowned, though,
" High School?, so Mr Musa graduated from High School?, does not MA?, I think Mr. Musa is an MA graduate", Yusuf again surprised.
" If you may know where to meet with doctor Sari?, what is the right to come for treatment to the hospital?", it seems that the curiosity of his colleagues increasingly becomes. Moses now feels like he is being the speaker at an exclusive interview about his personal life.
" Well, this is why I even talked about my life", Moses laughed himself, feeling his personal life was in matches.
" It turns out that Mr. Moses was ashamed to tell about his meeting with his wife", Ms. Zani deliberately said that so that Moses was provoked to tell it. But it turned out that his efforts did not succeed, because Moses just smiled while sipping a capuccino lissome in front of him.
" Doctor Sari met where did Mr Moses?", now the focus of the group moved to Sari.
Sari looked directly at Moses, asking for Moses' approval, could tell about their meeting or not, but had not had time to tell him, shortly afterwards bi Nunung came with Rashid. Then handed Rashid to Sari, because Rashid was fussy, peng nen.
Finally Sari said goodbye to everything, without giving an answer to treat the curiosity of Moses' friends.
Sari told bi Nunung to have lunch first.
When bi Nunung was about to take food, Bu Zani fadly asked about the first meeting of Moses and Sari, and it turned out that bi Nunung happily told her with excitement.
" Bi, I heard that my aunt prayed for Mr. Moses and Dr. Sari to come together, so did you know about how the two of them met?".
Bi Nunung undoes his intention to take food, instead happily telling stories.
" Ustadz Musa was his teacher mba Sari, as well as a religious teacher at the High School where Mba Sari went to school, when Mba Sari moved here.......".
And bi Nunung continued to tell all that he knew, and also about how the old Nunung was very idolizing to Moses.
" If I had a daughter, I would have introduced my daughter to ustadz Musa, unfortunately my son is all boy". The closing sentence of Bu Nunung made all smiles funny.
" Wah..wah..wah., so the love story between ustadz and santriwati, if I had an acquaintance of a writer, it would be very exciting if your story was made into a novel", seloroh Pak Bani's
Moses only shook his head, because bi Nunung told about his life in front of the crowd, without asking for approval from Moses first.
