Ustadz Idol
When Distance and Time Become the Test

Moses immediately returned home after taking Sari to his house. Not so long at Sari's house, just greeting Atmo's grandfather then saying goodbye to his home, because the circumstances have not completely melted, there is still a little tension on Sari's face.

The clock shows at 5pm when Moses arrived at his house. Hendrik had actually reached home first, and was lying on the sofa in front of the television in the lounge.

" Mr. Ustadz had a date with the same santriya?, returning from the event at 1 o'clock, but until the house is 5 pm, well this is definitely stop by first, to the beach", goda Hendrik when he saw the new T-shirt that Moses was wearing.

" I'm so tired Ndrik, I want to rest, I'll change it later...". Moses walked into his room. Bathe and change clothes, because the clothes and pants he was wearing felt sticky exposed to sea water while on the beach earlier.

While in the room and resting his body on the bed, Moses' cell phone rang. There was a roaming call from her parents.

" Hello assalamualaikum".

" Greetings, Son of Moses.this is Abi".

" Yes Abi, how is Abi?".

" Abi is healthy, but Umi you are sick, therefore Abi called you, currently Abi is guarding Umi in the hospital. The restaurant is still open, Mr. Hamzah, Abi's friend who handles it temporarily" Abi explained.

" Umi is sick what is Abi?, should Moses follow you there?", asked Moses feeling very worried about his general state.

" You just come here, said the doctor who handles Umi, Umi was struck by symptoms of a mild stroke. Fortunately, quickly taken to the hospital, said the doctor if it was a few minutes late, there is a possibility Umi will have a stroke".

" Abi was also confused, but Umi you were fine this morning, even cooking rice kebeli in the kitchen, but suddenly she felt her head was dizzy and was brought to sleep in the bed. When Abi tried to wake her up, her lips were a little grinning, and it was hard to speak, and her left hand was no longer moving. So Abi panicked and took her to the hospital".

Moses had gone out of bed, opened a drawer in a small cupboard beside his bed to pick up his passport and visa, then took his car keys and walked out, the goal is to go to the airport.

" Where is Mus going?, why are you in such a hurry?", asked Hendrik who looked at Moses in wonder because his face was so cloudy.

" I'm going to Cairo, Umi is being treated in hospital, having a stroke, please you stay in this house and handle everything yes, I'll call Ardi to help you too. I entrust everything to the two of you, including the construction of the hotel, later discussed also with Dawn".

Hendrik only gawked at Moses' words but then hurriedly ran after him.

" Greetings to Umi and Abi, you take it easy, me and Ardi will handle everything. I'll also meet Dawn and discuss the hotel matter".

Musa nodded at Hendrik's words and got into the car and drove off.

In the car, while driving, Moses took the time to call Uncle Irsyad, tell him about his umi state, and ask permission to take a few days off until he was finally cured.

Mr. Irsyad immediately gave permission, "you take it easy, later I allow your absence, uncle and all school residents will pray for your recovery.

Musa also called Sari when he reached the airport. After greeting each other, Moses explained his ummah to Sari.

" I'm sorry to tell you so suddenly, Abi called when I just got home. Ask for prayers yes hopefully Umi will heal quickly".

Sari just fell silent, her throat seemed choked, at a glance Sari remembered what the face of Umi Musa was like. Beautiful face, graceful and adem in the view, precisely stricken with a stroke, Sari could not imagine what kind of sadness Moses at this time.

" Hello Sar....you are still there right?", Moses awakened Sari from her daydream.

***

Day after day has passed.

Days change with weeks, weeks change with months, and months change into years.

For two years Moses did not return to Indonesia. Sari has graduated from High School and entered college at the University of General Sudirman (Unsoed ) Purwokerto, medical faculty. Sari entered through the SNMPTN pathway, because of the many achievements Sari achieved, she could easily be accepted as a student at the faculty she wanted.

Sari and Rizal entered the same faculty, because at the graduation of High School, they both got the highest parallel ranking in public High School.

Rizal and Sari were getting closer, countless times Rizal played to Sari's house.

From the first only offered a ride home from college when mas Soleh could not pick him up. Or if there are certain events that require him to go home late. Rizal will be happy to take her home.

At the beginning of Moses went to Cairo, almost every day Moses and Sari made a video call, up to several weeks, and the more rarely they exchanged news.

Indeed, the state of Umi has been better, although it has not been able to move smoothly as before. But a month after Moses was in Cairo, Moses introduced Sari to his ummah as a future wife.

But somehow Musa did not return to Indonesia, the reason is always the same

' wants to keep her Umi '

Even over time Moses and Sari increasingly rarely exchanged news, Sari had not contacted Moses for a month, because he was preoccupied with the task of so many lectures.

Tri Hapsari is a 19-year-old student of the 3rd semester of the Unsoed Purwokerto medical school. The hijab girl who always looks beautiful and elegant.

That's right, it's been almost a year since Sari started hijab. It started when her sister Sari...Dimas, declared cured of drug dependence.

Dimas was free and moved to Purwokerto on the orders of his parents. Triono and Esti did not want her eldest son to be mismanaged again.

Both of Sari's parents enrolled Dimas to study at one of the private universities in Purwokerto. He entered the faculty of economics, different campus with Sari.

Because now Sari no longer feel lonely living in Atmo's grandfather's house, there is already Dimas who also lives together.

Unfortunately Dimas friends who used to turn out to be in high school with him, often play at home and often tease Sari.

Sari, who is uncomfortable with the attitude of college friend Dimas, aka his former high school friends, decides to close all eyes that look at him using a hijab.

Sari still clung to her relationship with Moses, although communication was increasingly uneventful, due to each other's busyness. But even though Sari never thought of turning away, or loving another man.

Sari only hoped that when the time came, he and Moses would be rediscovered by the Almighty in a beautiful and loving atmosphere.
