Chapters 20. Why Ruqoyah Changed

Chapter 20

Hafsah went to the school supplies store with Azizah to buy the necessities for the madrasah. In addition to being a teacher, he also doubles as a budget regulator for all the needs of his place to teach. 

"Has it all been bought?" azizah asked when she saw Hafsah checking her notes.

"Alhamdulillah, it's all bought," replied Hafsah pleased.

Quran reading study books, Islamic story books, markers, drill board erasers, and agenda books for students and teachers. Although the costs incurred are not in accordance with the budget and Hafsah must cover it with personal money, it does not matter to him. With the intention of giving alms and reward in the side of Allah, it has made him happy.

"You are working instead of getting this money even spend money for teaching and learning purposes," muttered Azizah while shaking her head.

"Everything must be addressed because of Allah, then everything will be easy. My sustenance and Bang Ali are smooth and well-to-do. So, when I don't get a salary from teaching children, it's not something that's difficult" Hafsah replied.

After finishing shopping, the two men also visited a grand mosque that often held monthly lectures. The activity starts at 10:00 until the time of Zuhur. There will usually be many people from different regions.

Hafsah saw that a grandfather and grandmother were about to cross into the mosque. They will have difficulty crossing because many motorcycles pass. Then he ran out of the mosque. It turns out that Hafsah deliberately helped the two elderly people to cross.

"Thank you, son," said the grandfather with a sparkling look even though his net began to dim his light.

"Together, Cake. Is there anything I can help you with?" ask Hafsah with her soft voice.

They are now in the mosque. Hafsah and Azizah helped them sit down.

"No, thank you. If you'd know what your name is, son?" asked the old man with a smile.

Although Hafsah used the niqob, the parents knew that he also returned their smiles. The shape of the female's eyes narrowed and the radiance of her eyes made them calm.

"Hafsah" replied Ali's wife.

"If it's Grandpa and Grandma, what's her name?" ask Hafsah.

Hafsah and Azizah helped the two seniors open their sandals. Then, put it in a frictional bag so that it can be stored in their bag.

"Grandfather his name is Qomar and Grandma his name is Maesaroh" the old man replied.

Hafsah and Azizah smiled back at the old woman's smile. Since then, the woman did not speak just smiling.

Hafsah welcomed Ali home. She kissed her husband's hand with reverence and Ali responded by kissing his forehead and hugging his wife's affection.

'Free every night make love if the woman is barren, will not be able to get pregnant, ' Ruqoyah's mind while staring at the two lovebirds who are climbing stairs while embracing each other.

"How do I get Ali and Sarah together more often?" muttered Ruqoyah monologue.

The middle-aged woman sat on the sofa while thinking hard. He wanted grandchildren and could also live with the cluttered treasures. Ruqoyah forgets the simple way of life that Said, her late husband, has always taught her. He darkened his eyes to treasure after his association with the socialites. At first, he joined the group because he had a friend named Ana. Then he was introduced to Bu Joko's group. From there he wants to be seen as a person who is and capable of being on par with those people.

This time Ruqoyah will get to know more and more of the upper class because they have been hanging out with Sarah. During the day when he ate at the restaurant with Sarah, he met several women from prominent families in this country. They have great respect for her because the woman introduced her as her future father-in-law. How happy she was when the ladies from above treated her so well.

"Mom, why daydream like that?" tanya Alika suddenly broke the beautiful imagination that Ruqoyah was building.

"You can surprise mom!" ruqoyah replied in an annoyed tone.

Alika laughed chuckling at the expression on her mother's face. He forgot to ask permission to go to Niken's house.

"Where are you going to wear such nice clothes? Fragrant again," asked Ruqoyah unsuspectingly.

"I'm going to Niken's house, ma'am. There is an impromptu task from the lecturer," replied Alika lying. 

Actually the girl had a date with Om Haris. There was a restaurant branch opening for his best friend. He was invited because the man had no partner to invite to the event. Om Haris is a widower with three children from the results of his marriage that failed three times.

Alika who has a beautiful face and body shape that is cool, making Om Haris love it.

After getting permission from her mother, Alika hurriedly leaves before being caught by Ali. After yesterday's incident, her brother always forbade her to go outside the house if it was Magrib. 

Meanwhile, Ali had finished bathing and Hafsah had also prepared a change of clothes to go to the mosque. The man instead of getting dressed immediately, he gave naughty kisses on the wife's face.

"Already, Bang. Soon the Adhan of Magrib, must immediately go to the mosque," said Hafsah and Ali released his wife.

When Ali was about to go to the mosque, he saw Alika who hurriedly boarded his order.This of course made him angry because it had gone against his words to not leave after the afternoon.

'Why would he dare to fight my words?' batin Ali's
