Ambiguity Between Us
The Nineteen
- Back at the talk of the night -
"after the incident we agreed to hide it, we really hope you will understand our situation" Azki asked after everything was finished they told me.
Ustadz Rahman smiled. Seeing the man smile Azki and Nayra breathed a sigh of relief.
"May God bless your marriage" he said.
"we plan after the wedding of her brother inshaa alah within 1 month, we will make walimahan of course with a little wedding drama" continued Azki.
"if you're honest, you've seen you come out of the door that connects your room to the astatidz office when Nayra was in the room. But, you have not had time to ask about it" explained Ustadz Rahman.
"Yes already. You are married" he continued.
The night was getting late, showing at 11 pm, Azki asked for permission to go home to the boarding house Nayra, because it felt very awkward if suddenly Nayra slept in the boarding school at a time that was quite late.
They were getting ready to go home, through the sago groves and the forest. As usual the night in the village is still surrounded by forest, making the night darker even though sometimes illuminated by street lights. Dew has begun to fall soaking the grass and trees. Cold nights are more pronounced when compared to when they are gone. Nayra who was sitting behind Azki who was riding close her body to the man.
"Nay, all right?"ask Azki
"well, ustadz" said Nayra quietly, then hugged Azki.
"thank you for helping me" Azki told Nayra.
"it should lighten each other up. This part of the problem starts with Nay" Nayra replied.
"We're going to dinner" take Azki.
"Nay who tracts "Voice of Nayra spirit
"i should have bought it. Kan Nayra has helped me" Azki replied.
"Ustadz, just nay. You see, Nay just paid in MTs" this time he grinned even though invisible to Azki.
"Alhamdulillah" he replied with a slight smile.

It's still 9 in the morning. With permission of Ustadz Rahman, Azki can return a little afternoon to the boarding school. That day he wanted to spend his day with Nayra. They are ready to go to the waterfall attractions, with a little worry people will recognize them.
With 1 year, it was enough for Nayra to know the man's habits. Without him finding out, his habits can already be seen. Several times when santri was invited to take a walk out of the pesantren he just settled alone. Once Nayra came to the boarding school when everyone was on holiday, Nayra thought everyone had gone home, as far as she knew that everyone had come home at that time. However, when she wanted to enter her room, Nayra found the man coming out of a room walking towards her private room. And repeatedly Nayra saw such an event.
"That's different, baby" she said quickly and then walked away with a smile of her own.
Nayra who had never listened to the words affection coming out of Azki's mouth was very surprised and felt strange. Still, she was happy as a woman.
30 Minutes of travel they are already in the Resun Waterfall area. The cold was still felt, even on that sunny morning at 10. Azki parked the motor in front of the waterfall fence, and used a hat to cover her face. They walked down the path, then down the cement stairs made but a little steep.
"Ustadz, the principal" said Nayra, slightly lowered her head.
Azki took Nayra's hand.
"ordinary. No one will think that this is Nayra, which I know, Nayra who people know is a girl, who cannot hold the hand of a man who is not her mahrom" Azki said slowly.
Although the decks of Nayra tried to behave normally, they did not look at the headmaster and his family. They walked on the rocks on the edge of the rock pool from the waterfall. The pool was quite large and deep. With water flowing from above though not too high, and rallying to the lower slopes.
"We're up 1 level again" Nayra said. They were already at level 2. With a waterfall that flows not too high and does not have a large pool like the first level.
Azki walked first, although a bit hesitant because he never climbed the waterfall up to the top, but because he felt better, then he climbed the longest first.
"just follow the tracks. We'll get to the top" said Nayra.
By climbing the hill which is sometimes a slightly slippery clay because it is moistened by melting waterfalls, then passing through peat soil resulting from the decay of forest wood. Not infrequently they have to duck to pass through the trunk of a tree that has long fallen, but not in pieces. Nudge the roots of wood that appear on the surface of the soil. Climb up rocks, and avoid thorny leaves and twigs.
Azki was already in a large rock in which there was a little basin filled with water. He washes dirty feet because it was dirty because of climbing.
"we turn there, there's a waterfall" Nayra said, pointing behind the bushes.
"Ustadz don't be far from the nayra" pinta Nayra.
Azki climbed a large rock, then reached out to Nayra who was still below, passing through the flow of water in the crevice of rocks that are still mossy which indicates that rarely anyone rises to that level.
They have reached a waterfall that flows maybe from a height of 1 km, throwing the water in the pool of water, behind the waterfall is still visible a small space of rocks that are still overgrown with wild plants.
Nayra smiled behind Azki.
