Becoming a Ning

Reunite

The day that awaited finally arrived, where today Mega will fight someone who he does not know, tomorrow he may no longer exist in the boarding house.

After dawn, Mega came out of the house and went around the cottage yard. Smile at every moment.

"Mom! Mbak what? How's that smile?" ask Akbar. Akbar came home last night from Aunt's house that I don't even know who Aunt is.

"Grandfather, Akbar. Just want to go around."

"Why smile?"

"It can't be a smile, right?"

"Can, anyway. But don't smile alone, Mother."

"Yaudah, now Akbar smiles too."

"What's Mama doing?"

"Udah, just smile!" the Mega and Akbar followed.

"Well, Mommy wouldn't smile alone, would she?" my connection made the forced smile disappear while I laughed at Akbar's facial expression.

"Oh, yes, Ma'am. Akbar has something for Ma'am" said Akbar, taking something in his pocket.

"Oh, huh? What's?" mega asked squatting to level their height.

"Yetoo!" yang Akbar showed a hanger made of wood.

Mega's dewy eyes look at Akbar's gift to her, taken from Akbar's hand with a slight tremble.

"Bak if later not won also not papa, kok or answer Mbak wrong also do not papa. Akbar is proud of you.

Mbak is the greatest Mbak for Akbar, there will be no one else even Mbak someone else just lost to Mbak Akbar mah," praise Akbar make my tears can no longer hold.

I hug Akbar in this field, I don't care if there are people who wake up because they are too excited to see the event today.

'I can take this hanger home. I really want to be able to bring this to keep remembering the same Akbar and others.

But, all of that is impossible. Moreover, Afifa does not have social media, it would be very difficult if I ask her to be sent this hanger.

It's also her right, anyway, people know me, right as Afifa. So, whatever I get is her right, my inner self wipes away tears and lets go of hugs.

"We're home, yuk!" invite me to feel sliced when I know that what I get will not be able to carry later.

"Come, Ma'am!"

"Who gets home the fastest will be given a gift!" pekik Mega who walked first from Akbar earlier.

"Ih, you cheated!" yelled Akbar running as fast as he could.

Mega laughed and just kept running so as not to lose to Akbar, on the doorstep there was someone smiling looking at them.

"Happy Ning, find your happiness and don't get locked up in the trauma" he murmured.

The event will begin to finish the Duha prayer and end before Zuhur, attended by several Kyai from various lodges chosen by Abah.

Mega did not feel afraid, because he did not know Kyai who would come here. Maybe, if he knows will be embarrassed or even afraid of wrong also lose later.

However, why should I be afraid of being wrong to lose too? Isn't this event held to correct the understanding we absorb during learning?

In order not to deviate from what is taught by Ustadz and Ustadzah, as well as train each self santri or santriwati to be smooth in public speaking.

For Mega who has been trained in public speaking because it always explains to Mama and Papa, public speaking is easy.

"Gue just hold it, let's not be nervous later," said Mega when going to put the key chain into the drawer.

Stared at the room he initially complained because it was not as wide as his room in Jakarta there, and many more complaints were spoken without anyone knowing.

He laughed remembering it, a little funny if it should be remembered and impossible if repeated.

'I learned a lot of lessons here, hopefully after I get home. I can be a better person.

The figure of Mega who used to be a better figure and care for others, not just drunk made with this mortal world.

Also, you can be more patient and steadfast in your life. Yes, this is how life will always be a trial.

We're all alone, how are we going? Patience and asking to be strengthened or give up with the situation, Mega's inner smile.

"Afifa, this is Abah. Can you come in?" call Abah makes Mega wake up from her daydream.

"Eh, can Bah. Come in," said Mega who is still sitting on his study bench.

Chequek.

Abah opens the door to Mega's room and leaves it open, walking towards the bed sitting on its edge.

Mega smiled at Abah, "What's the Bah?" ask Mega.

"Change want to apologize to you for the mistakes that Abah has made so far, sorry if Abah always punishes you even today.

Honey, Abah never had bad intentions with you. Forgive Abah if Abah's words hurt you.

Did you hear you want to go to college outside? Abah will give you permission as long as you can hold Abah's trust.

Abah is proud of you, you are Abah's proud son. Even though Abah is much wrong with you, Abah please forgive Abah," Abah said with teary eyes.

Mega immediately hugged Abah without saying a word, 'Yes, Allah. The more unwilling your servant is to leave this body, do not be like this Mega. You must be sincere and not even be envious.

Lu know? What made Afifa's parents finally melt down? Because of your patience in dealing with them.

That is, your parents will also be able to melt if you are patient without shouting and arguing with them.

So, from now on don't ever go against what they say if you want them to be like Afifa's parents.

You remember, right? How did the parents of Afifa grow up when you fought them instead? Those who are close to God will be angry when you fight, let alone your parents?' inner Mega calmed down as well as her introspection.

Feeling no reply from Abah, Mega immediately released a hug, "Ma-sorry Abah if Afifa presumptuous even hug Abah so, Afifa already sorry Abah. Afifa was happy to be Abah's son and to know a man as great as Abah.

Afifa knew that it must be for Afifa's good, thank you very much, yes, Bah."

Abah smiled and nodded while stroking Mega's head making the woman smile even more with her width.

The event has gone smoothly and it was the closing session of several people who appeared and were asked questions.

I held down the loudspeaker and looked at the person in front of me, looking one by one at the santri line.

Smile someone I found, immediately I joined in smiling when the net we looked at each other. He nodded telling me to answer the question immediately.

I closed my eyes for a while and tightly grasped the wooden hanger given by Akbar earlier, my decision was round and I opened my eyes to answer the question.

"Alright, that was some santri santriwati who has answered questions from the Kyai on this day.

And ... The highest score with a near-perfect answer is 98% earned by ... Ning Afifa!" Ustadz Ridwan as MC.

Rebellion cheers were heard from various voices as well as Mega who immediately shed tears, 'This is the end, ' her inner smile.
