The Three Chosen
57. Relieved
Meanwhile, Shera had just arrived at the boarding school where her two children were studying. At that time, Shera immediately performed Maghrib prayers at the pesantren mosque. One of the ustadzah who is also a teacher at the pesantren was seen accompanying Shera. Shortly thereafter, the wife of Ustadz Hamzah met Shera at the mosque.
“ Assalamualaikum Mbak Shera..,” greet wife ustadz Hamzah named Humaira while extending his hand.
“ Wa alaikumsalam Bu Ustadzah, how are you.?” shera asked while welcoming Humaira's hand.
The two hugged each other for a moment. Humaira rubbed Shera's back gently to calm her down.
“ Alhamdulillah good. We chat at home I just yuk..,” invite Humaira.
“ Sorry Bu Ustadzah. But I am again waiting for My Son and Husband..,” reject Shera gently.
“ I know. I am also waiting for my husband. But we can't be here because it will interfere with the students who are studying Bu...,” said Humaira, said,
Shera circulated her gaze and saw the santri sitting into groups while asking answers.
“ How...?” ask ustadzah Humaira from behind her veil.
“ Well Bu Ustadzah..,” says Shera with a smile.
Then the two stepped towards the residence of Ustadz Hamzah and his family which is located just behind the mosque. Arriving there they immediately sat down and discussed many things while enjoying a treat of warm sweet tea and snacks.
After performing the congregational Isya prayer, Shera decided to wait for her husband and son at the boarding gate. Yet again Humaira's ustadzah prevented it. Shortly after, Shera's phone rang. Shera quickly grabbed her phone.
“ Assalamualaikum Father, Where are you. How are the Children...?” ask Shera.
“ Wa aleikumsalam. Thank God the good children Bun. We will soon return to the pesantren..,” said Faiq.
“ Alhamdulillah..,” said Shera while closing her eyes.
“ Mother where now..?” ask Faiq.
“ At home Ustadz Hamzah Well, here's another chat with Ustadzah Humaira.
“ Thankful. Wait there just Bun, soon we go home.” said Faiq.
“ Yes, be careful Yes Well..,” says Shera.
“ Ok Bun. Assalamualaikum..,” said Faiq at the end of his sentence.
“ Wa alaikumsalam..,” says Shera while breathing a sigh of relief.
“ How Ma'am, they are fine right..?” ask ustadzah Humaira.
“ Thank God they are fine aja Ustadzah..,” said Shera with a smile.
“ Thank you lah..,” says ustadzah Humaira relieved.

Revelation decided to take ustadz Hamzah back to the pesantren with his motorbike. While Faiq rode a motorcycle owned by Ustadz Hamzah while piggybacking his two twins.
When arriving at the boarding school, the clock shows at nine o'clock in the evening. Shera immediately rushed out when he heard the sound of a motorbike stopping in front of the house followed by the Humaira ustadzah walking behind him.
“ Assalamualaikum..,” greet Faiq and ustadz Hamzah together.
“ Wa aleikumsalam. Kids, how are you doing..?” shera asked as she hugged Iyaz and Izar tightly.
“ Lho, Mommy is here too.?” tanya Iyaz hugged Shera back.
“ What, Iyaz hurt. Which part is injured, try Mommy clay.” said Shera panicked while researching all over the body of Iyaz from head to toe.
“ Thank God it's not sick Bun. Just a small wound. I was also treated the same father earlier.” said Iyaz to calm his mother.
“ You are...,” Shera's speech was interrupted when ustadz Hamzah asked his wife to prepare dinner for them.
“ Ummi has made dinner, Abi is hungry. Our guest must also be hungry, We eat yuk..” said ustadz Hamzah while embracing his wife's shoulders.
“ Dinner is ready Bi. Yuk We eat now. Come Sister Shera...,” take ustadzah Humaira while gently holding Shera's hand.
“ I, yes Ustadzah..,” said Shera nervously and then followed Humaira's ustadzah into the dining room.
Faiq and his two children smiled when they saw that Shera was forced to follow the invitation of the host. Then the three looked at Ustadz Hamzah who was putting his torch on the table.
“ We are tired, Our Wives are also tired, Children must be more tired because they are not used to it. Well it would be nice if all these tired dinner first so that they can have the energy to be angry and scolded..,” joked ustadz Hamzah to make Faiq and his two children laugh.
“ Thanks Ustadz. But I understand the feeling of the Mother of Children..,” said Faiq in between her laughter.
“ Yes I understand too. But for this time let the scolding be postponed for a while until our stomach filled first the same food..,” sahut ustadz Hamzah relaxed.
Shortly thereafter Humaira's ustadzah told him dinner was ready. They went into the dining room for dinner. The simple menu presented did not reduce their enthusiasm for storytelling. Revelation seemed to smile at the interaction of the Faiq family with the family of Ustadz Hamzah.
“ If you return to the room, do not need to tell any story with your friends yes. Let this be our secret. Because not everyone understands and wants to understand if the supernatural life is side by side with our normal life as ordinary humans.
“ Well Mr. Ustadz...,” sahut Iyaz and Izar together.
“ And the problem of wounds Iyaz earlier, it's good to be checked into the Hospital ya Mas Faiq. We are not experts in this field. I am worried that there is a bone injury or the like that will harm Iyaz in the future.” said ustadz Hamzah.
“ I also intention so Mr. Ustadz. Thanks for your attention. Tonight I'll take Iyaz home and check his wounds earlier.” said Faiq.
“ Please. Please make sure that Iyaz gets the best medical treatment, Mas Faiq. God willing the cost will be covered by pesantren..,” said ustadz Hamzah again.
“ Well Mr. Ustadz, about the cost of handing over to us..,” said Faiq with a smile.
“ Well, I know you will not want to accept Our helping hand. Yes, now Izar can go back to the room. Invite Kak Wahyu to rest in Izar's room in place of Iyaz..,” says ustadz Hamzah again.
“ Well Mr. Ustadz...,” sahut Izar obediently then kiss the hands of ustadz Hamzah and his parents.
“ Why would Iyaz come home for a while.?” shera asked doubtfully.
“ Gapapa Bun Hotel. I'm a big boy, I have a lot of friends here, too. So Mommy does not need to worry..,” said Izar relaxed.
“ Smart child. Mommy is proud of you...,” Shera said while hugging Izar tightly.
After saying goodbye Faiq also brought Iyaz and Shera back to Jakarta by using an online taxi. At
iyaz's journey fell asleep from exhaustion beside Shera. While Shera appears to wipe his son's head while occasionally dipping it with affection.
“ Sleep Son. Mommy knows you and Izar just experienced a big event even though you don't want to say anything about it. Sleep with Honey. Mommy hope when you wake up later you can forget everything and live a normal life again like a teenage boy in general.” whispered Shera in the ear of Iyaz.
Faiq smiled at his wife's words. He understood how Shera and the twins felt because he had been in the same position as Iyaz and Izar. In his heart Faiq promises to protect his family and live out his destiny as a father who has two special children who have the ability to interact with the supernatural world.
Upon arrival in Jakarta Faiq immediately took Iyaz to the Hospital to undergo a series of examinations. Faiq and Shera were relieved that there were no serious injuries. Iyaz was only infused and rested at the Hospital because of his weak body condition. The grandmother appears to be watching closely the health development of Iyaz during her treatment there.
After two days of bed rest at the Hospital, Iyaz was allowed to go home and immediately asked his father to take him to the boarding school because he did not want to miss school too long. And Iyaz returned to the pesantren after three days ‘bolos’ school.
