Black Heaven
I'm Pamit, I'm Pamit,
The sound of thunder started to thunder, the beautiful blue sky disappeared just like that when the black clouds had come, the specks of rain began to fall. Slowly the cold began to greet the body of a black hooded girl who was busy folding laundry in a special room for dry laundry that had just been lifted from the clothesline.
Every day the girl lived her days by helping activities at the house of Kyai Yusuf, the owner of the boarding school that she lived in studied. The girl who used to be called her friends by the name of Tata was almost six years studying at Al-Khadijah boarding school, Jombang. During these two years, this ngawulo arrangement in PONPES because there is no one to finance. Both of his parents had returned to the presence of the Creator right when Tata sat in the first class of MA (Madrasah Aliyah).
Like this is Tata's activity every day, after school he helped the work at home kyai Yusuf as a form of gratitude for being able to study without having to spend any costs.
"Tata ..." suddenly there was a baritone sound on the doorstep, it made Tata surprised instead of playing.
"Gus!" at first glance Tata stared at the figure of the man who called his name, but all that did not last long because Tata immediately avoided the shady eyes of the figure of the man who always made his heart pound.
"I'm sorry if my presence surprises you, I just want to give you the news that in two days I will go to Egypt to continue S2. I got a scholarship" said the man, spreading his gaze to the right and left to make sure no one saw him meeting Tata.
"Congratulations on Gus' success, then why did Gus say goodbye to me?" now Tata turned her body to face the man with her face bowed, her hands clinging to each other as nervousness began to come towards him.
"Word, as long as I'm not here, please take care of your heart.Wait until I pass S2," the man said.
Tata was stunned when he heard the statement that had just been said by the man who was usually called 'Gus. He also ventured to look at the man wearing a black glove with a grey t-shirt, "mm-what do you mean, Gus?" ask Tata.
"I have had other feelings for you, so I decided to marry you later after I returned from Egypt, so I ask you to take care of my heart only for me," said the man before passing away from the room occupied by Tata because there was someone who opened the kitchen door.
Tata threw himself on the bed without a mattress after hearing the statement from the youngest son Kyai Yusuf, he never thought that the man who was usually called Gus Aji had the same feelings as him.
"Am I dreaming?" muttered Tata while squeezing the clothes in her hands. There was happiness in his heart.
The sound of thunder that was increasingly blaring in the afternoon seemed to be meaningless in Tata's sense of hearing. He continued to develop his smile when he remembered the statement made directly by Aji.
"Tata, when you're done please help Ummi prepare the contents of Gus Aji's suitcase." suddenly a very soft female voice in the doorway, it managed to disperse Tata's daydream.
"Astagfirullah ..." muttered Tata in his heart when he realized that there was ummi Sarah who was standing next to him.
"Okay Ummi, soon my work is finished," said Tata while looking at Kyai Yusuf's wife.
Sarah's mother was Kyai Yusuf's first wife, she had five children, three sons and two daughters and the youngest was Aji. Yusuf's second wife was in another city, and he had three children with his second wife, one male and two female.
Tata soon follows Sarah's ummi steps towards the second floor of her house, her heart racing quickly when her steps stop in front of Aji's room.
"Yes Allah .. I went into a man's room," Tata muttered in his heart as Umm Sarah invited him in.

Two days later ....
After performing the morning prayers, the students were busy cleaning their rooms because today was their schedule home from the boarding school because the school holidays had arrived, there are only five santri who remain in the pesantren and one of them is Tata.
Tata rarely returned to his hometown after the departure of his late father, no longer what he missed in his hometown. During this time he prefers to spend time in pesantren when entering school holidays, I don't know what Tata will do after this because he has just graduated from MA (Madrasah Aliyah).
"Tata ... Ta ... Tata!" Tata stopped his activities when he heard his name mentioned. His body was brimmed from not seeing anyone in this dark morning.
"Gus Aji!!" Tata was stunned when he saw Aji hiding behind a mango tree beside the house of Kyai Yusuf.
Tata gripped the handle of the broom that had been in use since he cleaned the yard next to the house of Kyai Yusuf. He did not expect that Aji this early had already met him.
"Ta, this morning I'm leaving for Juanda Airport. I'm just meeting you to say goodbye, don't forget my message yesterday!" Aji looked at Tata who was bowing her face.
"I'll take care of Amanah from Gus Aji, hopefully after Gus returned from Egypt do not forget the statement of Gus himself. I will wait for a proposal from Gus Aji," said Tata with a bowed face. He was very embarrassed to look at the handsome face of Aji who was behind the mango tree.
"Alhamdulillah, I can finally go to college quietly after hearing your answer, Ta. Excuse me!" Aji set his foot to leave this place before being discovered abah or ummi. However, just as Aji stepped away, he had to stop his steps from remembering something.
"Tomorrow my cousin from Surabaya will come to this house, I hope you can keep your eyes and heart because he is more handsome than me," Aji said before completely moving away from where Tata was.
A red tint began to appear on Tata's cheeks. His heart rippled as it caught the jealousy of the speaker of the Jurumiyah teacher. Tata resumed her activities while imagining how happy she was to be the wife of a young ustad with a different appearance from others. Tata continued to develop her smile, she was like a flower blooming beautifully in the morning.
"Astagfirullahaladzim ... Remember Ta, you cannot be like this, remember the words of Joseph's brother, 'give your life to God'." Tata monologue, he shook his head with his eyes closed because he imagined the uncertain thing.
"Whoever surrenders himself to Allah, Allah will supply him (keep him)." (QS. Top-Thalaq:3)
