A Will From Mama

C-10

**Egypt

Miss**

Alhamdullah.....

For 3 years in Egypt, I missed my family. But Mama and Abah didn't let me go home. The days here I just walked through and I wish I could finish quickly.

This morning on campus will be announced regarding students who graduate to be able to follow the practice. I am so grateful, my name is among the names of graduating students. With the passing of me in this stage, then my chances of immediately completing my education are also greater.

After my activities on campus were over, I immediately returned back to the cottage. This afternoon at my cottage is also the announcement of religious school graduation for students who are studying. In addition, Abah will also announce who will be the teacher here.

Indeed, religious schools for students who are still in school are different from students who study. Where santri while in school must take this school for 6 years. And for students who are only 3 years old.

Abah's purpose, so that someone helps him to teach. Because there is so much magic here. And the teacher is only a little, so it is not surprising that one teacher must master several subjects. The teacher here is not just anyone. No one would dare to apply to become a teacher here. Because Abah himself will determine who is worthy to be a teacher here. And only the santri who are knowledgeable and intelligent and hold on to the religion that Abah chooses.

After praying, we are students who will usually teach with Abah. This time Abah will announce who will teach here.

All the student santri had gathered in the hall. While waiting for Abah's presence, we exchanged stories and knowledge both related to our cottage and lecture. However, we also try not to make noise.

Not how long Abah came. Abah immediately took over our attention. After the speech, he announced who would be the teacher.

And I came back shocked after this morning, and now Abah is pointing me to be a teacher. Will I be able to manage my time later.

Before this event closed Abah asked us who had been appointed Abah to become teachers. He ordered us to stay in the hall first. Others can return to the dormitory.

After some return.

Abah gave us advice as a new teacher to be assigned.

"So I expect a lot from you. And Abah is sure that you can believe Abah. Don't be confused to split the time. Leave your college schedule to Abah tomorrow. And the day after you will begin to teach. Some objected to Abah's decision. Abah will obey him with the will. Abah doesn't want anyone to be forced. If indeed you can't say from now on before it's too late," Abah said trying to read the look on our faces.

Well indeed in this hall many facial features that describe our feelings each. Some are still surprised, resigned, happy, and so forth.

"............" we were silent, no one dared to answer.

"Nobody mind, all right. Remember my children that the progress of this cottage is also in your hands. Not only this cottage, but also the nation, the state and most importantly our religion. And you should be thankful not to complain. If you are having trouble in any case please find Abah. Abah will kill you with pleasure. The day is late, Abah said goodbye. And you guys just get some rest. Assalamualaikum......"

"Wa'alaikumsalam.." we answered simultaneously.

After that, we also disbanded. There were also some santri who were still in the hall. Including myself, I was still contemplating how I should live this all in the future.

I don't know if I should be thankful or complaining. Why is it that when my college gets harder now I also have to teach. How do I divide my time. I feel unworthy to teach. Because I've only been deepening my religious knowledge for the last few years. O God, may I be able to carry out this scenario that You have made.

The next day, I went to Abah's house. Abahmasih house in the scope of the cottage. So enough on foot I have arrived in front of his house. It just so happened that when I arrived, Abah was on the porch. Soon I greeted him.

"Assalamualaikum.

"Yes Bah,"

I followed Abah into the house. When I got inside, Abah immediately invited me to sit down. After feeling comfortable in a position to chat, Abah began asking me what I was visiting for.

"What's up, son?"

"Look Bah, I am here in addition to having a touch, I also want to give my lecture schedule" I said.

"Try Abah look,"

I immediately handed over the paper containing my lecture schedule. Abah took my paper and took my schedule seriously. Silent for a while, Abah was so serious about my schedule.

"Don't you have to be in the 7th semester, why is this already a practice class?" ask Abah.

"Well, a few days ago I took the test. And it turns out I graduated so I could go straight to practice classes, without having to be in semesters 7 and 8."

"Are you still willing to teach?"

"I'll take my time to teach,"

"But your practice hours are still fickle,"

"Yes Bah, because I am new so I still have a changing schedule. For that, I need Abah's opinion regarding this."

"Because you want to have a good intention to teach here, then I will still maintain you to become a teacher here. You calm me down, later I will give you relief. So your schedule doesn't collide."

"Alhamdulillah......"

"Your teaching schedule will be given later tonight after finishing your studies. Now please continue your activities,"

"Alright Bah. This heart is the first day I start the practice, for that I want to ask permission for it."

"Yes son, as long as it is good Abah will always permit. May you be a successful person and your dreams come true soon. "

"Amin....., Then I'd like to resign Bah."

"Please son, if you need a friend to confide in here son. The door of this house is always open to you. And Abah already thinks of you like Abah's own son."

"Well Bah, I say bah assalamualaikum......."

"Wa'alaikum....."

I rushed to the hospital where I started my practice. I hope I'm not late.
