Arsha pondered for a moment, "What's wrong with Faizal? "
" Aulia never wanted to be with Faizal "Kyai Abas started talking.
How happy Arsha heard the words of Kyai Abas, as if a fresh wind was blowing on his body.
" Thank God ... " Say Arsha.
Kyai Abas looked at Arsha in surprise and smiled "Kok Alhamdulillah? " Kyai Abas' hand slapped Arsha's shoulder.
Arsha was shocked when she realized that her words had been heard by Kyai Abas.
" Oh no Kyai, I was just happy to hear that "Arsha was trying to cover up his feelings at the time.
Kyai Abas nodded and chuckled, "You have surprised me Arsha... "
" Arshaka, if Faizal had been here, wouldn't you have come here too? " Kyai Abas asked, relax.
Arsha smiled at the question, "No Kyai, I will still come to visit Kyai ", replied Arsha.
Kyai Abas stared deeply into Arsha's eyes, again nodding.
" To deliver the letter? " Kyai Abas asked.
And again Arsha smiled, indeed Arsha is a person who is a cheap smile but he did not realize his smile could always make others fascinated.
" One of them, because that's Kyai's trust? " Answer Arsha with a question.
" Yes you're right, son.... " Answer to Kyai Abas.
" Yes, maybe I did not prepare for my arrival dressed neatly, fragrant, yes I like this" said Arsha.
Hearing Arsha's expression, Kyai Abas frowned his Eyebrows, his eyes glaring at Faizal.
" Is Faizal like that? " Take Kyai Abas with a question.
Arsha was shocked to hear the question, she did not expect how Kyai Abas could find out about Faizal earlier.
" Yes Kyai "Answer Arsha briefly.
Kyai Abas laughed at Arsha's reply, his voice loud but not waking Aulia who was still asleep in her room.
" Asha.... Arshas.... You're so funny " Kyai Abas chuckles.
Arsha was misbehaved, Kyai Abas took a deep breath and exhaled.
" Have you ever seen me distinguish the appearance of one person from another? Have you ever seen me judge someone by appearance? " Kyai Abas is serious.
Instantly Arsha was silent just shaking her head and bowed.
" You want to wear any clothes still look handsome and dashing Nak "Kyai Abas strengthen Arsha, Arsha ventured to look at Kyai Abas and then looked down again.
" Why would Faizal come here to dress neatly and use fragrances? Though he rarely visited to see me even if he met in the boarding house he was ordinary " Again Kyai Abas asked.
" I don't know.... " Asha answered briefly, in fact Arsha has understood the way of Faizal's mind but not expressed to Kyai Abas.
" Because he wants to see Aulia!!! " Kyai Abas answered his own question firmly.
" Exactly! That's what I thought "Arsha muttered in my heart.
" Do you mean Kyai princess Kyai is here? " Arsha's fishing talk trying to figure it out.
" He was there, he just came this morning now sleeping in his room" replied Kyai Abas.
Kyai Abas' answer makes Arsha think that it is true that Aulia came to the boarding school yesterday night without Kyai Abas' knowledge and only known by Faizal, unfortunately Arsha himself also knew it.
" I didn't expect my daughter to suddenly come back when just yesterday I told you "Kyai Abas' smile expands.
" Do you pray for him to come home soon? " Kyai Abas looked into Arsha's eyes which made Arsha nervous to answer.
Indeed, since Arsha's return from Kyai Abas' house yesterday always remembered Aulia's face in the photo, since then whatever Arsha did always reflected Aulia's face.
Even during the tahajud prayer last night Aulia's face shadowed her, which is why Arsha always prayed about Aulia, asking to meet and get to know Aulia.
" Aulia came because the prayer of Kyai as well as the prayer of Umi Tinah certainly "Answer Arsha replied.
" Oh yeah Arsha what about your match yesterday? " Kyai Abas diverted the conversation.
" No Kyai there will be no matchmaking" Arsha replied.
" Have you thought well? " Continue Kyai Abas.
" Yes Kyai, I have chosen not to continue the matchmaking "Readily Arsha replied.
" Yes, don't force it then, but what about your Mom and Dad? " Kyai Abas asked.
" Ehmmm is angry for sure, but after I said I had my own soul mate who I wanted to choose they tried to accept "Asha explained.
Kyai Abas nodded "Who did you choose? I see you don't have a girl friend "Kyai Abas Curiosity is starting to show up.
" Yes, there is Kyai but not a friend, even we have not known each other "Revealed Arsha, Kyai Abas astonished.
" Why can? " Kyai Abas is curious.
" I myself also do not know why it could, which I know he is a good person because he comes from a good family and God willing he is also well educated " Arsha convinces Kyai Abas.
" So Nak Arsha knows his family better than his choice? " The sense of wonder Kyai Abas has not gone away.
" Yes Kyai.... " Arsha laughed a little.
" Oh can be so, then how? " Kyai Abas still wants to know.
" Yes what about Kyai? " Arsha dared to know.
" sthat mean? " Kyai Abas thought hard.
" Yes... I was asking Dad of my choice "Seriously Arsha said.
Abas's mind began to seriously understand what Arsha was saying, linking Arsha's words from the beginning to the talk he had just spoken.
" Aulia? " Tanya Kyai Abas.
Arsha nodded steadily, her eyes showing her seriousness and never leaving was such a dazzling smile.
Having answered Arsha Kyai Abas laughed loudly, but still did not disturb Aulia's sleep, Aulia did not wake up.
" How can it be? You just saw it in the photo of "Kyai Abas getting serious again.
" You're fascinated by the look? You yourself know you guys are a long way off and you should call him Mommy right? " Subsequently Kyai Abas.
Getting questions like that makes Arsha increasingly understand how much a father loves his children, not least Kyai Abas.
" Yes Kyai, Kyai is right ... But I have good intentions for Aulia, for my age I think it does not matter because His Majesty had married Sayyidah Khadijah who was fiveteen years adrift "Arsha tried to convince.
" But to my face I feel that the photo is nothing more than the original because it can be edited instead, so that is not the reason "Reveal Arsha more convincing, said Arsha, Kyai Abas is stunned to hear Arsha's explanation.
Kyai Abas watches Arsha deeply because he does not want to be wrong in judging a mate for his daughter.
" Let me introduce you to Aulia, then? " Kyai Abas offered, Arsha was surprised to get the offer.
" Oh no Kyai, no!!! " Arsha resists firmly.
" Lho why? I can't decide because anyway Aulia is going so let Aulia decide "Surely Kyai Abas.
" No Kyai, let God decide the course last night I've asked for it "Shame Arsha revealed.
" Owh deserves.... It turns out you're the "Kyai Abas laughing out loud.
" Have you explained the matter to your parents? " Subsequently Kyai Abas.
" Not so detailed yet, I just explained that I have my own choice" replied Arsha.
" Talk to your parents first, if they agree we talk about the next plan "Usul Kyai Abas.
" That means from Kyai himself already agreed?! " Arsha asked excitedly.
" Yes.... If I agree with myself, but I don't know with Aulia " Kyai Abas said.
" Thank you Kyai....! " Say Arsha kissed Kyai Abas' hand.
Kyai Abas hugged Arsha's body tightly while patting Arsha's back, exclaimed Kyai Abas saying "I trust Aulia to you Son "
Arsha nodded still tightly hugging Kyai Abas' body.
Umi Tinah came out of the kitchen and saw Kyai Abas who was hugging Arsha tightly, there was a little sense of ingi tofu in his mind .
He walked over to Kyai Abas and Arsha, "What is this? seems like there's some good news, huh? " ask.
Kyai Abas invited Umi Tinah to sit in the seat next to him and he told me all the talks with Arsha earlier.
Umi Tinah was surprised he closed his mouth, he was happy to hear the good news that gratitude to God he never stopped saying.
" It means just waiting for Aulia's decision" said Umi Tinah.
" I beg you not to convey my good intentions to Aulia "Pintaa Arsha, Kyai Abas and Umi Tinah nodded.
" Umi, Kyai can I call it Aulia? " Task Arsha Polos.
Kyai Abas and Umi Tinah who heard the question laughed together.
" Yes son can, of course can.... " Answer Umi Tinah represents Kyai Abas as well.
In the living room of Kyai Abas, Umi Tinah and Arsha laughed together while in the room Aulia felt a little disturbed by their laughter.
" who? " His voice was raucous but soft, the voice of a new person waking up.
Aulia woke up, she saw around her so much paper scattered about.
Tidying up the papers, he checked his laptop was still on just locked because it was just silenced and charged.
" Was I filling it? " Think Aulia was trying to remember.
He checked his laptop again before he turned it off, he saw the printer that was not on.
" Aman is ", said Aulia.
The clock on the wall was at half-three in the afternoon.
Meanwhile, the voices of Abi and Uminya were still heard in the living room.
" Hopefully not Faizal "Hope Aulia.
Before long Umi Tinah knocked on the door of Aulia's room, then opened and entered the room.
Aulia who sat on the bedside near Umi Tinah, "Are you awake? " ask.
" It's Mi "Aulia answered briefly.
Umi Tinah saw that the room was no longer cluttered with paper that was scattered no longer there and the laptop and printer had been returned to their original place.
" Are there guests? " Aulia asked.
" Yes Nduk" replied Umi Tinah briefly with a smile.
" Who is Mi? " Aulia wants to know.
" Oh that... It was from his cottage Abi "Abri replied Umi Tinah confused, she was afraid of leachability.
Aulia who saw Umi Tinah increasingly wanted to know who was coming.
" Faizal? " The question is short.
Umi Tinah rubbed Aulia's head while shaking her head.
" Not Nduk.... " The answer is short.
" Who is Mi? " Aulia was still curious.
Umi Tinah was confused about what to answer, she covered her confusion by taking drinking water at the corner table of the room for Aulia.
" Drink first "Umi Tinah gives a glass of Water to Aulia.
Aulia accepted and drank.
...****************...
" Son Arsha, what do you think Nak Arsha should I do to defend the boarding school? " Kyai Abas began to speak slowly.
Arsha turned to Kyai Abas, this time he did not smile.
" What's wrong with Kyai's cottage? " He tried to ask the problem.
" It's not really a big deal, just because this issue has been too long and unresolved "Kyai Abas's view is glaring, Arsha is watching closely.
" Today after you got home from here, my brother called to remind me of the division of the cottage "Kyai Abas started telling stories.
" Cut division? " Arsha furrowed her brows.
" Yes, so the boarding house was supposed to be run by my brother, but he didn't want to, so my grandfather gave it to me "Kyai Abas continues the story.
" The problem is that while Grandpa was still managed, the boarding school was still under construction and Grandpa asked my brother for help with some of the costs "Kyai Abas stopped continuing the story.
Until there Arsha had begun to understand where the story of Kyai Abas and nodded his head.
" So now Kyai's brother wants his money back? " Asha looked at Kyai Abas.
" You Know?! " Kyai Abas was shocked to hear Arsha's question, Arsha smiled a sign of assent.
" Yes he asked for it back, otherwise he will bring the matter to the line of law" Kyai Abas said.
Arsha rubbed Kyai Abas' arm, trying to calm down.
" If there is no black covenant on white how can Kyai carry it? Doesn't it need proof? " Say Arsha.
" There is Nak, the receipt is still there complete with information and journals in the parent book of pesantren, there is " explained Kyai Abas.
" Only Aulia could finish it "Kyai Abas bowed.
Arsha still did not understand what Kyai Abas meant.
" My brother is the father of Aulia's ex-husband " Kyai Abas said.
Arsha gasped at Kyai Abas's words, her mind starting to play and tracing away.
" Husain? " Tanya Arsha.
Kyai Abas looked at Arsha, "How do you know Husayn? "
Arsha did not answer, instead he again asked "Why is only Aulia able to finish Kyai? "
Kyai Abas took a deep breath.
" Husain still hopes that Aulia will return to him" Kyai replied.
Like there was a rumble in Arsha's chest when he heard the words of Kyai Abas, how could Aulia while still not who she was.
" Did Aulia know all this? " Ary asked carefully.
" No, I hid it "Kyai Abas held tight.
" Do you know how Aulia is from my story? " Kyai Abas tried to convince Arsha that his decision was right.
" Yes Kyai, how about it be replaced with some money used? " Asha's Advice.
" It could have been but it cost so much "Lirih Kyai Abas replied.
Kyai Abas took out the envelope he had stored and gave it to Arsha, Arsha opened it and read it.
" So here are many options but not profitable while Aulia does not know everything "Arsha thought to heart.
" What other game is this?!! " Arsha Gerrick.
