Between Maghrib and Isya
Back to the cottage
After 2 weeks of vacation in the hometown, it finally ended as well. The day after I had to go back to the cottage to continue my activities in the cottage again.
As usual before I went back to the cottage, I took the time to visit my father's grave.
This time I returned to the cottage by train. Because om Zay is having business so it can not take me to the boarding school. So, since the day after tomorrow must have arrived at the ponpes, then tomorrow I have to leave.
Today after I visited my father's grave, in the afternoon I packed the things that I will bring tomorrow to the ponpes.
“your dress don't forget to rub first yes baby, it's still there in clothesline”, say my mama from outside the room
“ready ma”, answer me
After finishing cleaning all the items to be carried, the night arrived. As usual we had dinner together at the dinner table.
“nak, tomorrow want mama masakin what?”, ask my mama
“hemm... Nara wants rendang ma”, answer me
“untung there is still meat last night mama buy, yaudah tomorrow mama masakin, all love to umi Henny yes. Oh yes tomorrow your train leaves at 14:30, so you are from home leaving at 12 ya dear”, explained my mother
“Ok ma”
After I finished eating and cleaning the dishes from dinner last night, I went back to my room to check the items that will be carried tomorrow.
Kriing..
My phone is ringing
The Friend group in Paris
Camille : “haii guys”
Blanche : “haii, BTW how are you Raya?”
Achille : “long time no chat with Raya. Miss Raya”
Kingdom : “I'm really sorry guys for never replying to your chats. I have entered the boarding school now, so my aunt is holding my cell phone. My father passed away, guys, one day back from Paris. I am really, really sorry”
Bella : “your father died? Condolences Raya”
Kingdom : “thanks Bell”
Kingdom: “Tomorrow I'm back at the boarding school again”
Achille : “yeah.
Kingdom: “I’m so sorry guys”
Yes, as long as I return to Surabaya, I never chatan with them again, and only tonight after so long. I miss being with them.
Our chatan continued until midnight. However, I have to overcome that chatan, because tomorrow I must not be late to leave, because I stay tomorrow my holiday time.

Morning has arrived. This time after the morning prayers I did not sleep anymore. I immediately clean up and re-compile the items I will bring. Prepare a pair of clothes and hijab that I will wear later, help mama in the kitchen, and much more.
“ma, Nara bring snacks in the refrigerator ya”, say I when opening the refrigerator
“iya darling. Bawak, lots of snacks. Here anyone who wants to eat”, reply my mama
“sip, steady. Lots of food dong in ponpes later hahaha”, say I slowly
“shoes, sandals you don't forget ya babe”, saut my mama
“iya ma, relax aja ma, all have been done”
After finishing breakfast, I cleaned the front yard of the house oma.
“Nara, oma send greetings yes the same umi Henny”, if I am sitting in front of the house oma
“iya oma, later Nara convey”
“enak not staying in ponpes Nar?”
“Alhamdulillah now Nara is comfortable living there oma”
“Aalhamdulillah's. Do not bandal-bandal you there ya”, pinta oma me while eating pears
“ready oma. Oma calm aja”
After I finished cleaning the front yard of the house, I went back inside to help my mother pack the food I would bring.
“ini for you. Later there you can ask help umi Henny for a little manasin. Well this one is for umi Hennya yes dear”, my mama explained
“ok ma”
After helping my mother pack food, I returned to my room to be ready to go to the boarding house. Wearing the clothes that I prepared this morning, put items such as wallets, mobile phones, and others into my small bag.
“sayang, sorry yes this time mama can not deliver you”, saut my mama
“gak papa ma, Nara is already big. Mama do not have to worry, later if Nara train already road Nara will call mama, and if Nara has arrived Nara will also call mama”, I explained
“Nara left first yes ma, his taxi has arrived. Assalamu’alaikum”, while kissing the back of my mama's hand
“Wa’alaikumsalam. Be careful ya dear”, say my mama while hugging and kissing my forehead
“iya ma. Oma Nara go first ya”, say me while kissing the back of my oma hand
“iya son, be careful ya nak”, reply my oma
“daahh ma”, say I when I was in the taxi
Taxis started to drive away from the home page of Oma. It feels sad when separated from parents, although the next few months can still be met again.
It did not take long, about 1 hour the taxi stopped right in front of the train station. I started taking my things out and didn't forget to pay the taxi.
When I arrived at the station I immediately took care of the administration and got the ticket. However, I have to look for musholla first, because I have not had time to pray zuhur.
After the prayer, I sat in the waiting room and called Lily and Dita to tell them.
“Assalamu’alaikum”
“Wa’alaikumsalam”
“Li, are you in ponpes?”
“al Nar”
“Alhamdulillah, I am still waiting for the train, at 14:30 my car just left. Yes probably got there around 8 pm”
“oh is ok Nara, be careful Nar. Who will pick you up at whose station?”
“seems to be Faiz Li”
“oh yes-iya. Yaudah if that's Li, be careful ya”
“si Dita has arrived? How not to pick up the phone”
“maybe again on the road too Nar. It is still in Ponpes”
“oh so, yaudah Li, see you Li. Assalamu’alaikum”
“Wa’alaikumsalam. Careful dear”
My train arrived and was ready to go. I forgot to call my mom. After calling my mom, I went back to enjoying the beautiful view from the train. The trip this time may be more boring, no friends story, about 5 hours on the way, sitting in the train. Hemm.
19:30 The train stops at the station in the city of Yogyakarta.
“Alhamdulillah until also”, say I slowly
I immediately brought my things out of the car. I immediately called Abah Faiz.
“Assalamu’alaikum bah”
“Wa’alaikumsalam. Where did you get to, nak?”
“Alhamdulillah has arrived at station bah, just got out of train”
“Alhamdulillah, you are waiting in this waiting room nak”
“ok bah, Nara directly there. Assalamu’alaikum bah”
“Wa’alaikumsalam”
After calling Faiz's brother, I called my mother again to tell her that I had arrived in Yogya.
“Assalamu’alaikum ma. Ma, Nara has arrived in Yogya ni, picked up by Faiz”
“Wa’alaikumsalam. Alhamdulillah, send greetings to Faiz, Umi Henny and grandfather. Don't forget to take care of mama earlier”
“iya ma, yaudah first yes ma, Nara want samperin abah Faiz”
“ok darling. Careful. Assalamu’alaikum”
“Wa’alaikumsalam. Bye mom, love you”
I finally met Faiz. And entered my belongings directly into the trunk of Faiz's car. The journey from the station to the cottage is about 30 minutes. When I arrived at the ponpes, I immediately gave my mother a seat to Umi Henny and left my rending to be heated as a dinner menu today.
PONPES. MEET AGAIN THE SAME TIME BETWEEN MAGHRIB DA ISYA THAT I MISSED.
