Between Me and Brother

chapter 7

Move Nyantri

The sound of a sparrow was heard on the roof of my room, I woke up with a voice on the radio that Umi used to hear in her room. It sounded so clear, it obviously made me unable to continue my deep sleep on Sunday.

After I opened my eyes, while looking for a workman who was near the study table. It turns out it's morning. The sunlight was clearly visible through the curtains in my room.

I forgot to set an alarm to wake up early. Brother Tery is no longer in bed, if possible he woke up early but did not dare to wake me up.

Even if I'm a little late to wake up early, Brother Tery always scolded me because he thought I was a lazy woman. Actually it's not, because it's too tired that's why I wake up a little later.

For some reason, on this Sunday Brother Tery did not wake me up so did Umi. What's really going on with them? Last night I should have been a little angry about that matchmaking. But yes, I tried to get out of bed and walk to the living room.

There was already Abi who was brewing his favorite black coffee and Umi was busy with radio fiddling with FM replacements.

"Umi's Parts. Abi." I said as I sat on the long sofa.

"Piye bobooke, deep anyway" Umi immediately opened a conversation with me, busy on the radio.

"Come, mbak Tery iki mendi Umi" Tanyaku while looking around in the house.

"Makmu wes lungo karo koncone, iku loh, arekke Om Jaya." Obviously Abi while sipping his coffee.

I just nodded at Abi's talk, I don't even want to talk about them anymore. My conversation ended by changing the subject of my education.

"Abi, piye about my Pesantren. I want nyantri maneh"

"Let's go, as if Adek is ready wae yo. Mengko Abi lebokno neng Pondok Darussalam. Neng kono must be Adek seneng." Abi said with a smile.

I just nodded while my mouth was silent. Umi suddenly got up from her seat and went to the room. Soon, Umi returned with a letter coated with a brown map.

I was confused, only speechless as I looked at Umi who was trying to open the letter.

"I'm opo mi?" I asked while raising my face.

"CV deck, make Ta'arufan." Said.

I immediately dodged all questions from my lips. I pulled out everything that had been still drowned by the question, with my face rapidly changing expression. I immediately replied "Oh" and went to the room.

The CV was reminiscent of Abi's last night. Although I only met once with Mas Indra, but I am sure that he deserves to be a candidate for priest. After Abi talked about Kak Tery's matchmaking, ever since. I don't want to hear about CVs, CVs and CVs anymore.

I ended up being more concerned about my further education which he said would be included in Pondok Darussalam. I saw Sister Tery's laptop left on the study table. Finally I searched Darussalam's cottage on Google.

"Darussalam Cottage"

Click! I heard the sound of the laptop and immediately all the titles I wrote came out thoroughly. I saw the various locations of the cottage. But as close as it is in Tanggerang.

It says "Santri Pondok Pesantren DARUSSALAM must settle in the pesantren complex and all must follow a series of pesantren disciplines that have been determined. with a disciplined and systemically patterned lifestyle, it is expected that all students can manage their lifestyle." It means I'll settle down if I continue my studies there.

It's true! By staying there automatically I no longer hear about the matchmaking Kak Tery with Mas Indra. If that way I could forget it in an instant, I would be more focused on the various memorization of the Qur'an and the activities so on.

I finally got out of the room and wanted to talk about this with Abi and Umi.

"Come on, have a chat" I said.

"I want to continueken nyantri maring Pondok Darussalam neng Tanggerang, by ora bi?" I asked to exclaim with pleasure while smiling.

Abi and Umi glanced at each other looking at me for a moment, their expressions hinting that I was not allowed to stay there. Thought.

"Dek, nang opo koe jaluk neng kono?" Tanya Umi approached.

"Sir popo mi, adek just want wae" I said to make sure they.

Abi immediately smiled grinning to mediate me and Umi, I also looked at Umi after goal. Umi just looked at Abi while shaking her head.

Instead I was confused by Abi and Umi, their expressions were not predictable at all. It felt like breaking the silence with the gazes of the two of them who were opposite in that direction.

"Piye dadine, adek by ora maring iku, Darussalam cottage." I said make sure, again.

Abi smiled releasing silence while laughing, Umi nodded at me with a smile. Finally they agreed to go there and my hope to forget about the matchmaking Kak Tery can be realized.

Thank God, I can be free from this unsettling heart as well, by the way I stay there can make new friends again.

I smiled, and went to the room again. I thought long while smiling to myself, momentarily confusing me and thinking back.

If I stay there without a cell phone, how do I contact Umi and Abi if I miss it?

As soon as the question crossed my mind, yes I lost to ANAK JAMAN NOW, SD children only already have their own phones.

With my adult age, Umi still does not allow me to have a mobile phone. Even Kak Tery was only 1 year old to have his phone. Am I going to be like Brother Tery too? Just be right. Thought hardened.

***

On this Sunday it felt lonely that there was no sister Tery at home. I feel bored, usually he is the one who always bothers me. There was no stopping to make me cry whining about Umi.

I don't know what's going on with Kak Tery being able to go with someone he just met. He is the son of Om Jaya. Yet, still. They are still not legal husband and wife why the road is both busy here and there.

Suddenly my heart felt irritated to imagine them walking together, hand in hand. Uhhh! So upset. I finally revolted by myself while wringing things around me, for example, this pillow I hold.

Instantly, the door of my room opened and as I expected she was Brother Tery. My face was plastered glum looking at Brother Tery smiling happily.

"Guild ora wektu,,..." Said Brother Tery cut off.

"Adek ora reti, continue Adek yo moh understand storyone Mbak Tery iku" I said as I pulled the blanket.

So bad I was left by him, first early in the morning he did not wake me, the second disappeared somewhere and the three Kak Tery even wanted to show off their affection.

It feels upset, very upset. Brother Tery immediately sat on the bed while approaching me, he hugged me from behind while whispering something.

"Dek, ojo annoyed anyway, mbak dear adaring Adek." He said it sounded soft in my ear, I turned around and looked at the goal expectantly, even I frowned expecting that what he said was true.

"Related Ma'am?" Manya make sure.

Brother Tery immediately nodded and hugged me again tightly, I also smiled and felt calm. At least the affection of a Big Brother will not be divided after he gets his life candidate.
