Between Me and Brother
chapter 14
In the morning, the air in the morning is so cool and feels cold. Dew soaks the leaves looking fresh. I woke up earlier than usual, so I did to exercise in the morning, if 4 hours less.
There was the sound of the Qur'an in the next room. It's not just me getting up in the morning like this.
I decided to get closer and eavesdrop on that melodious chant. The Tajwid that he read was beautiful. Even I am still learning to learn the tajwid.
It turned out that the voice was so awesome from the santri man's room, I began to be confused to see who was reading in the morning like this.
Nor good if I continue to exist at the border of santri akhwat and santri ikhwan. It's not worth me eavesdropping like this, after all.
When the chanting of the Qur'an is stopped, the sign that the reader has finished his work. I went back to this place to continue my activities in the morning.
While praying I did not forget to recite the morning. My chants made a soothing heart of their own, as if this feeling was full of eternal peace.
Ash-bahnaa wa ash-bahal mulku lillah walhamdulillah, laa ilaha illallah wahdahu laa syarika lah, lahul mulku walahul hamdu wa huwa ‘ala kulli syai-in qodir. Robbi as-aluka khoiro maa fii hadzal yaum wa khoiro maa ba’dahu, wa a’zu bika min syarri maa fii hadzal yaum wa syarri maa ba’dahu. Robbi a’udzu bika minal kasali wa su-il kibar. Robbi a’udzu bika min ‘adzabin fin naari wa ‘adzabin fil qobri.
Meaning:
“We have entered the morning and the kingdom belongs to Allah, praise be to Allah. There is no god (who has the right to be worshipped) except Allah alone, no ally to Him. Belongs to God the kingdom and to Him praise. He is the Almighty of all things. O my Lord, I ask You for good today and good afterwards. I take refuge in You from evil today and evil thereafter. O my Lord, I seek refuge in You from laziness and ugliness in old age. O my Lord, I seek refuge in Thee from torment in hell and torment in the grave
Ask God for the good of this day and the good after it, and also to avoid the ugliness of this day and the ugliness that follows.
In it also contains a request to avoid feeling lazy when able to do charity, also to avoid ugliness in old age.
It also contains a request to be saved from the torment of the grave and the torment of hell which is the heaviest punishment on the day of the apocalypse.

Jeg-brugh!
As soon as someone closed the door from the direction of the men's toilet, I was shocked by the sudden noise.
Athaghfirullah! Suddenly I said it in my heart. This pounding taste makes me feel like a hanger. No. I mean for fear of ghosts. However, I was only shocked because the voice was so loud.
Coincidentally my dorm room is close to the santri ikhwan border, so it is not surprising that Willy and Ara like to look at the direction that is certain.
"What meda?" Ask the middle-aged figure behind me.
"Si..who are you?" I was shaking in fear.
"Try turning your body around, you'll know who I am" he said a little reassuringly and made me want to turn him over straight away.
However, the taste is so mixed, even I do not understand it at all. Who is the man who has turned his back on me.
Reluctantly I turned around, it was finally true that it was him. Indra who has been admired by many students and friends is now in front of me.
In the cool air in the morning the sky is a little blue, supporting us who have not met for a long time and our second meeting.
It was unexpected that the beginning of the meeting was in his house and the two were in the same cottage. Somehow God planned all this I still don't understand.
At once there was the sound of people walking towards Me and Mas Indra, scrapping all the atmosphere that stopped at once. I started to panic and was very panicked and ran straight to leave Mas Indra alone there.
The area here is forbidden to date, I run not feel that I met him. I'm just afraid that an unintentional meeting would cause such grievous slander in my taste. Therefore I left Mas Indra alone.
With a sense of haste I ran without looking back, I continued running towards the room. After arriving at the door I tried to go inside but like someone was holding him back.
Dubrak!
"Ah, it hurts" I screamed down on the floor.
It turns out that when I tried to enter Ara also wanted to go out of the room to take ablution water.
"Well! Mery you're okay, right? I'm sorry I didn't see" he said he felt guilty.
"No, I was wrong. I was hunting" I said, trying to stand up.
Ara also helped me stand up, while carrying a white dipper containing a toothbrush, soap, shampoo and towel on his shoulders. I thought he was just taking water.
"Tumben ra you want to take a shower at this hour?" I said confused.
"Dad, for the next few days I'm not here Mer." Say it while sad for a moment.
"Why you?" Ask again.
Ara just smiled and returned to the atmosphere that somehow made her want to go home, she went into the bathroom.
Is Ara getting married? my thinking.
No way, she told me that she had just gotten engaged herself, and the wedding was not this month to be exact. But why is Ara sad like that?
It felt strange that Ara came home suddenly. I have to ask my roommate.
"Willy, Princess" I shouted into the room.
They turned out to be ready for dawn prayers, neat with mukenya. They looked gloomy and felt sad. There are many things I don't understand. From that day on, everything felt strange.
"Will, do you know Ara, .. " I said cut off.
"Yes we know, it's all because of the Nation's Tunas son." Willy was upset.
"So Ustadzah came here and talked a lot with Ara, Mer. Where have you been?" Lela furrowed her eyebrows.
Confused, it feels really confused. What's the matter exactly. They're so secretive I don't understand them. As if all the problems that befell Ara and Willy were always concerned with the children of the Nation Shoots.
Indeed, among Me, Willy, Princess, Lela and Ara the longest here is Willy and Ara, even Lela's stupor he still covers it. I don't want to open my mouth about the pain. Only Willy, Ara and Princess know about the problems that often occur today.
