Ustad Or Alkash?
The Heart of the Ustad

High quality dim light bulbs illuminate room C12. All occupants of room C12 are sitting in a circle. Gives a round space between them all. Meta, Violla, Riana, Riani and Andin were eating together in a sizable tray. They ate the same food that was on the tray with bare hands aka without a spoon. Fighting each other rice and side dishes. Such things are common things to do for pesantren. Eating at the same time will indeed make the taste of food more delicious. No matter what the side dish is, it will all feel good if it has met the tongue. Several times interspersed with small jokes that make eating more passionate.

"Please spend, I'm full."

Andin told all of his friends then immediately passed washing his hands back.

After Andin washed his hands behind his back, he deliberately went the other way. That he did just to look around the various corners of the boarding school. Since Andin's arrival in Pesantren, he never surrounded the corners of the boarding school. But somehow suddenly he wanted to look around the whole contents of the boarding school.

Well, all corners of the dormitory seem very clean. There is not even the smallest dust.

When Andin was looking at his left right and immediately towards the stairs, Andin's eyes were wide with a view in front of him. Yes, Andin looked at the hall that was just below him. Two people were chatting in the hall.

What are Ummi and my handsome stiff doing in the hall? They seem to be chatting.

Of course Andin's curious soul was blowing in his chest. He also put the ear with acute seriousness.

"Hahaha, Ummi don't worry about my marriage. I'm definitely going to marry Ummi."

Andin was immediately able to conclude that the conversation between the two of them was none other than the discussion about the marriage of Ustad Zidan Haq who was being asked directly by Ummi.

"If you want, Ummi can help you find a mate for you Ustad Zidan." (said Ummi)

"Thank you in advance Ummi." (answered Ustad Zidan)

"Maybe you'd be interested in Ms. Zulfia. She is very beautiful, kind, and loyal. You can think about Ustad Zidan. Or if you want to meet him just to see first, Ummi is sure you'll fall for him.."

Hearing Ummi's words, Andin immediately felt helpless. How not, Ummi is matchmaking Ustad Zidan Haq aka the stiff looks with Mbak Zulfia. For some reason the intense sigh suddenly made his chest extremely tight. Andin immediately turned around and ran back to room C12 on the other side. The pain had taken hold of him, drop after drop of tears flooded his face. Andin felt he had failed before the war.

When Andin had reached room C12, all the occupants of the room wondered at the confusion of seeing Andin who suddenly returned to the room immediately lying on his stomach in his bed with increasingly sobbing. Only Meta dared to ask Andin. Of course he did because Andin was his best friend. If he's not entertaining then who else? So that comes to mind Meta approximately.

"Andin, what's wrong with you? Who made you cry like this?"

Ask Meta while stroking Andin's shoulder. While Violla, Riana and Riani who were in room C12 were also only able to hold their breath.

"I'm fine. Do your own thing!"

Reveal Andin with a bit of excitement and then get rid of Meta's hand that was stroking his shoulder. Not even Meta was surprised by Andin, everyone was surprised. She is known for being a very nice girl to everyone. But they are trying to understand the situation Andin is now. Andin does need some alone time right now. They decided not to ask Andin again. They pretended not to see that Andin was falling into deep sorrow. Actually they have no heart, but there is no other choice but to give him time without being disturbed by anyone.

Elsewhere, it is still in the boarding school precisely in the hall where Ummi and Ustad Zidan Haq are located.

"How about Ustad Zidan. Since then you have only switched the conversation when talking about Sister Zulfia." (said Ummi very gently)

"Hehe sorry yes Ummi. I'm not really interested in him."

"You haven't even seen it in person yet, have you? He's very nice."

Hearing Ustad Zidan Haq's reply, Ummi raised his eyebrows slightly looking around for guesses as to why Zidan Haq subtly refused.

"Do you have a candidate, Ustad Zidan?"

Zidan Haq only commented on the smile not intending to answer Ummi's question. Of course Ummi understood the meaning of Zidan Haq's smile.

"What can Ummi know, Ustad Zidan?"

"Andin Raharga."

How surprised Ummi heard the honest expression of Zidan Haq. But he just kept quiet and did not respond further. What Ummi was thinking about right now was whether Andin knew it or not.

While in room C12, the sound of Andin's sobbing still sounded the same. Even though Andin did not know fully about Ummi's question and answer with Zidan Haq in the hall.

No one dared to approach Andin when he was sad like that.

......................

After finishing talking with Ummi, Zidan Haq immediately left the boarding school after getting permission from Ummi.

I better just go home, maybe someone is waiting for me right now haha.

Zidan Haq drove his car at moderate speed to return to his home. On the way home, he recalls some of his childhood memories by commenting on a smile. When Zidan Haq often played to Andin's house as a child. Zidan Haq can always be entertained by the joy of the little Andin. Looking at Andin who is always smiling no matter what. Andin was indeed a strong girl from childhood, Zidan Haq thought. Until one day, he accompanied Andin who was coloring his picture. Zidan Haq also occasionally helps Andin in coloring his images. But Zidan Haq was more silent than talking. It is like that to all.

"Ahh, if you remember all your childhood Ndin.."

Ever since the little Andin slipped on the steps of his house that made Andin hit the wall quite hard, half of his childhood memories had completely disappeared. He only remembers half of his childhood memories. Of course Papah Arga and Mamah Kumala have given their best for the care of your little Andin. But finally they both are grateful for still being together with Andin even though many of his memories are lost.

You've always been adorable and you've been from childhood, Ndin..

"Sister Zidan.Why can you turn on Barbie Andin's doll that took off her legs? My doll's kasian must be in pain, right, because it took off her leg.."

He recalled the plain expression of little Andin one day. Of course Zidan Haq felt very amused by Andin's small innocence. But Zidan Haq is very good at hiding his feelings. He has indeed been talented since childhood to put on a face that is always flat.

"One day I will express my feelings to you, Andin Raharga."

Zidan Haq turned the steering wheel of his car into an elite alley leading to his house with a smile that still adorned his handsome face.

SERIATE...

DON'T FORGET TO LEAVE A TRACE YAA, HAPPY WEEKEND & 🤗
