BROMOCORAS

Al - insaanu Hayawaanun Naathiq

This morning the air was quite cold around Pondok Hidayah. That's because since dawn was drizzling has flushed almost part of this city. Some grasses and foliage in the pesantren yard was still wet, the smell of soil rancid which was also wet also pushed carried away by the wind.

Ajimukti just closed the book Jauharul-Maknun by Sheikh Abdurrahman al-Akhdhari. This book is one of the books that discuss Arabic grammar. In it there are a number of nazam related to Arabic grammar and literature (Balaghah).

For a moment Ajimukti was silent, his gaze looked blank. Several times he also seemed to take a deep breath. Sobri, silently watching each Ajimukti's movements. He felt that there was something Ajimukti was thinking about right now. He wondered if this might still have something to do with Kyai Aminudin's search.

"What's up, Gus. I observed from earlier that the njenengan seemed to be thinking of something?" Tegur Sobri who did not move from his place.

Ajimukti throws his smile at Sobri. "Nothing, Kang."

Sobri was not satisfied with Ajimukti's answer this time. Sobri saw very well this final Ajimukti expression change.

"Is this still about Kyai Aminudin's search, Gus?" Sobri asked frankly.

Again Ajimukti just smiled, then stood up and returned the book on a shelf not far from where he sat, then sat back down. This time Ajimukti sat closer to Sobri.

"To be honest, Kang. But there's something else behind it all." Say Ajimukti later.

Sobri slightly frowned, he was quite curious about the purpose of Ajimukti's words this time.

"Another thing, Gus? What else is that?" Ask Sobri a little probing.

Ajimukti smile. This time Sobri caught a change in Ajimukti's other expressions.

"Ning Biba, Kang." Say Ajimukti lirih together with his breath.

Sobri doesn't understand, "Ning Habiba? Meanin? Hasn't the boarding school heard from you yet, Gus?" Tanya Sobri wants to resolve her curiosity.

"Already, Kang. Ning Biba had already arrived there not long after I walked out of the information room's office. So said Kang who yesterday I live my number said." Say Ajimukti later.

"Meaning, shortly after we get back here, Ning Habiba arrives, Gus?" Ask Sobri to make sure.

Ajimukti nodded, "Possibly, Kang."

Sobri now also looks to nod. He thought maybe Ajimukti was disappointed because he could not meet Habiba and asked where he lived now even though it was only a short time ago.

"If I have to go there again, I'll take you, Gus. Maybe the njengan disappointed because it was not long ago they arrived there." Sobri later said.

Ajimukti now shook his head lightly, "It's not about that, Kang." Say Ajimukti with a heavy voice like restrained.

Now Sobri is really confused.

"Why then, Gus?" Sobri's question was filled with curiosity.

Ajimukti sighed, "Ah, never mind, Kang. Next time I will explain. I'm going to the shop first to get a cigarette." Say Ajimukti later, standing up from his seat.

Sobri was really confused this time. He was actually made full of curiosity with this attitude of Gus. But he could not force Ajimukti to talk if it was not for Ajimukti's own desire.

"Do I buy it, Gus?" Sobri tried to offer himself.

"It's not necessary, Kang. I want to get some fresh air, too." Sahut Ajimukti while waving his hand.

Sobri just nodded. Not long ago Ajimukti stepped out of his teaching place leaving Sobri alone who was still shrouded in curiosity that he did not know what it was.

Sobri sighed, also slightly shook his head, then he also moved from that place shortly after Ajimukti really had come out of his ndalem.

Ajimukti walks alone with a relaxed step towards the stall not far from the pesantrennya. The pesantren front road is quite crowded even though this morning it was rained for a moment. Ajimukti several times rubbed his palm to warm himself. The morning air felt so cold plus when there was a wind that hit him carried by a vehicle that passed beside him.

Some of the people he met also greeted him kindly this morning. At least Ajimukti is well known as the successor to the caregiver of Pondok Hidayah is also the son of Kyai Salim who is also the person who is very reluctant.

Not far from the stall was a black Grand Max parked on the edge of the road facing the stall. There were four people in the car, and all of them set their sights on Ajimukti. Not once did they take their eyes off of it.

Before long Ajimukti appeared out of the stall and back to walk casually towards the pesantren. The black-painted car that had been parked was heard starting the engine and then seemed to run in line with Ajimukti.

Right on the outskirts of the rice field which is a bit away from the house of the residents, the car accelerated and stopped right in front of Ajimukti which made Ajimukti stop his steps. Ajimukti was a little curious about the car that arrived stopping in front of him, and obviously it was not an accident, because shortly after that four men with a large high posture and makeup that looks a little awutan get out of the car and immediately walk towards Ajimukti.

"So this is the boy that the boss meant." Said one of the men scoffing.

"It turns out it's just a snot kid." Came another man.

Ajimukti did not understand what the man in front of him said, for a moment he could only frown.

"What's the matter, father?" Ask probing.

The four men did not seem to ponder the Ajimukti question. They were busy observing a photograph in their hands.

"Fuck, he's the one." Said the man with a thick mustache and quite sturdy body.

"Are you called Ajimukti?" Asked the man in Levis's jacket with his cynical gaze.

"Heh, kid! Don't ask too many questions! Just answer. Yes or no?" Stomach the other man with a high voice.

"real boy! You don't need to talk a lot, don't ask too many questions. Don't make our job difficult." Imbuh another man by pointing his index finger towards Ajimukti.

Ajimukti smiled, "Work? Whatdoes thatmean? What is the need for this father?" Ajimukti still remained calm, but his feelings said there was a veiled plan from the four men in front of him.

"Heh, Boy! You didn't hear what we said. Don't ask too many questions!" The man with the thick mustachioed back snapped and slightly pressed down on the word.

"Easy! We're gonna get this kid out of a lot of shit. I alone seem to have had enough." Said the other man with his laughter.

Ajimukti frowned, it seemed like everything was what he was thinking, there was no good intent from these four people in front of him. Ajimukti has not moved, he is only prepared if at any time he gets an attack.

"Calm down first. We seem to need to play a little game with this kid first." The man in the Levis jacket grinned.

"Sorry, gentlemen. Looks like we had no business before. So I don't think I want to linger here long." Say Ajimukti later.

"Please, boy!" The thick-moustached man again snapped, his gaze sharply fixed towards Ajimukti. His molar teeth sound linked to reinforce the shape of his jaw.

"You have nothing to do with us. But we have business with you. And you don't have to ask that much." The Levis jacketed man also snapped and pointed his index finger towards Ajimukti.

"Ah, stop, Wo. We'll get this kid fixed up." Sahut the man who has since put on his furious face.

"Yes, Wo. My hands are already itching to squeeze the mouth of this much asked child." Another guy's dream again.

Man in Levis jacket gives aba aba. Soon the two men were seen advancing and immediately grabbed Ajimukti's collar. Ajimukti immediately brushed off the hand of the man who tried to reach for the collar of his shirt.

"How dare you kid?" The man who was brushed off his hands by Ajimukti was inflamed. Immediately he swung his fist right at Ajimukti.

Ajimukti does not budge, moving places are not. He only moved half his body to avoid the man's blow, and the blow missed his target.

"May you too, boy! You can also avoid my blow." The man who was trying to raise a fist towards Ajimukti smiled smirked.

"Sorry, father. What the hell is this really? Why are you attacking me?" Ajimukti still asks for an explanation.

"Talk a lot you boy!" Once again the man launched his fist towards Ajimukti, and again the blow missed not hitting his target making the man even more furious.

"Can't we just talk, so I know what's going on?" Ajimukti is still trying to be calm and unaffected by the anger of the men.

"Much talk!" For the umpteenth time the man moved to attack Ajimukti. This time Ajimukti did not try to retaliate or fend off the attack. He just kept avoiding.

"Huh!!!" other men appear to be furious and participate in attacking Ajimukti, Ajimukti now slightly rewind his body. And that attack just darted in front of him.

"You can also avoid my blow." The man praised Ajimukti.

"It's done fast. Don't waste time." Excited the man in Levis' jacket with a waistline and heard the laughter.

The man who from the beginning kept trying to attack Ajimukti now again launched his punch. Ajimukti feels like someone who can talk to. Soon Ajimukti put up his horse. As soon as the man attacked him back as fast as lightning Ajimukti repelled the attack inside and then elbowed the man right about his temple. The man groaned.

"Damn it!!!" Aspersion.

Other men seem to be angry. He soon followed another attack on Ajimukti. Ajimukti again received the attack and then avoided it by taking his body to the side and then breaking the man's attack with a precise punch hitting the man's upper arm.

The man also cursed. His eyes were getting full of anger. His hands clenched tightly revealing the tight muscle muscles in his arms. His jaw also looks hardened to reinforce the shape of his face.

"As a creature of the mind. Humans will definitely get things done with human language. But if they no longer want to be spoken to in human language, it may be necessary to use animal language, to speak to you." Ajimukti a little start talking this time.

"Damn you boy! You dare say we're animals?" The words of a man began to ignite emotions hearing the Ajimukti speech.

"Let's die apparently!" Cried another man who also seemed to be unable to hold back his anger anymore.

Ajimukti smiled cynically. "How not. Al-insaanu hayawaanun naathiq, humans are intelligent animals, if they have lost their minds, it means that only animals are left, right?" Said later.

"B*j*Ng*n rancid!!! Stop babbling. If you want to talk at the mosque there!" The man who had received a blow at his temple was now back to attack.

"Die you boy!!!" His shout as he ran and jumped aimed his fist in the air.

Ajimukti did not budge in the slightest, he just threw a smile then re-installed his horse to welcome the man's attack.

Ajimukti managed to withstand the blow of the man by gripping his fist. As quickly as lightning Ajimukti pulled the man's hand, twisted his body and re-elbowed the man right in his heart. The man bowed, with Ajimukti's position behind him. Ajimukti now swung his legs back and swiftly turned back his body. Now he turned his knee towards the man and violently struck him in the stomach and made him slam far enough and fall to the ground.

Another man looked up to see what was going on with his friend. He immediately launched his attack on Ajimukti. Ajimukti pulled back a little bit. As soon as the man's punch was about to land on his face, Ajimukti quickly jumped up and folded his legs and swung them right in the jaws beside the man. The man was thrown to the side quite hard. Fresh blood was seen coming out from his slightly torn mouth. The man groaned and increasingly exuded his killing aura.

"I'm sorry, father. I don't mean to do Dzolim to you, but protecting yourself is also necessary isn't it?" Said Ajimukti still with the position of installing his horse.

His face looked calm, with a slight smile on his back every time he spoke to the men who attacked him. His left hand was open and stretched forward parallel to his shoulder with the arm slightly bent. His right hand was clenched and aligned with his waist. His breathing remained regular despite having made several resistance movements.

Seriate...
