The Pesantren environment looks cool and Asri, in addition to being in rural areas as well because the place is classified as a mountainous area.
The journey to Pesantren is not so far away, it only takes less than 1 hour, they have reached their destination.
“Nduk you join Umi yes, Umi show your room” Invite Umi Amina
Upon their arrival at Pesantren Umi Amina then brought Khadijah to rest in his room. Hearing the invitation of Umi Amina Khadija just obey and follow behind him.
To be honest Umi and Abah are quite happy with the existence of Khadija, because they do not have a daughter. Their three sons were all Mas Umar, Mas Ali, and Mas Aziz, so Khadijah called him.
Two children Abah Hasim and Umi Amina have been married.
Mas Umar chose to stay in Cairo with his wife, of course because of the work that was also there, while Mas Ali chose to live in the capital with his wife, along with his wife, also for work reasons in Jakarta.
Mas Azis was the last child of Abah Hasim and Umi Amina who were not married.
Walk with Umi Amina to the room you want to show her. Khadijah researched every room in this house, still the same as the last time Khadijah came here, it looks so beautiful and clean. A lot of ventilation makes the air of this house so fresh.
“This is Mas Umar's room, while your room is not yet, you are here first yes Nduk”
“Iya Umi”
Khadija did not forget to nod his head and review his best smile.
Khadijah felt at home living here, the sound of santri-santri out there who was murojaah so melodious, making Khadijah forget the sadness that was being felt.
Honestly, the atmosphere of this kind of pesantren is no longer felt by Khadijah since he graduated MA (Madrasah Aliyah), because Khadijah chose to continue his studies in Malang with a major in Medicine.
Khadijah still went around looking at the room that looked quiet and did not see a single item belonging to Mas Umar left there.
The mattress looked clean because it seemed like before Khadijah came, Abah had asked someone to clean it.’Thought Khadijah’
“Umi stay yes, Later if there is anything you can find Umi”
Umi Amina rushed out of Khadijah's room, allowing her nephew to rest, even if it was just to lay down her body.

Adhan's voice rang .
Sendakala has also shown its charm, the atmosphere of the beautiful village made Khadijah forget if he had just lost both parents.
As was the previous custom, and indeed for a long time, all residents of Pesantren will perform congregational prayers at the mosque, not least Khadijah and the entire family of Abah Hasim.
The only mosque, which is a mosque that is used for santri activities of sons and daughters.
But even though it is used together, still in it there is a wall barrier as a separation between santri putra and santri putri. It has been so long ago and even since before Khadijah studied in the pesantren.
Although it has undergone several renovations but the style and shape are still the same 'inner Khadija'
With Umi Amina, Khadijah walked out of the house to the mosque which was not so far away.
Khadijah circulated his gaze, looking around the boarding school that still looked the same as when he used to live, the difference was only that he used to live in a dormitory, and now he lives in Abah and Umi's house, that'sthat's all.
There were some new buildings, and Khadija did not know what they were.

After the magrib becomes the most time later for the students, in addition to the time to rest, also when it is a time for them to get ammunition for their stomachs.
For the satries who do live in the Dormitory, they will get three meals a day, breakfast at 8 or when the santri has finished with morning activities, The Day after Dzuhur Prayer, and the Night after Magrib Prayer.
Yep. Eating rations are always shared in the moments that have been determined, and have become a habit since long ago.
Santri himself is not prohibited to bring food or buy food and stored in the Dormitory, because it is related to food Abah and Umi released him.
Given that Khadijah is also an accomplished santri, it is enough to make Abah Hasim believe in Khadijah in helping the princess students in learning to teach.
The journey home from the mosque is now Khadiah accompanied by Abah. Because Umi Amina had come home first because of an affair.
“Abah”
Under the moonlight, Khadija walked with Abah Hasim. Finished with her second night of study activities along with walking home.
“Iya Nduk” replied Abah.
The raucous voice of the middle-aged man beside Khadijah always made him remember the figure of his late parents.
“What do you want to ask?” Abah
Khadijah seemed to review the smile behind the veil he was wearing. The two sat together on the porch of the main house.
“Ngak Bah"
Khadija smiled again. To be honest it's not that important, it's just that Khadija seems so curious.
"Just tell me what you want to ask Colonized"
Khadijah then commented on the smile behind his veil.
"Jijah just wanted to ask Mas Azis Bah."
"Cock taste, since Colonized here Colored have not seen the existence of Mas Azis?”
Khadijah was seen asking for the whereabouts of his cousin who was the third son of Abah Hasim and Umi Amina.
From the question he asked Abah, it seemed that Khadija noticed a change in the face of the middle-aged man beside her. Until a heavy sigh Khadijah heard coming out of his mouth.
“Mas you were yesterday just fired.”
Hearing the words of Abah Hasim, honestly Khadija was a little surprised, ‘dipat’ inner Khadijah, but not until the heart of Khadijah asked again what the problem was.
“Then now Mas Azis where Bah?”
The question that finally came out of Khadijah's mouth.
“In Malang.
"New 3 months ago she got a new job”
Hearing Abah Hasim's reply, Khadijah just nodded his head. Honestly, Khadiah did not know.
“That's really confused with Mas mu it”
A sad voice was clearly visible on Abah Hasim's face, and Khadijah also understood a little what his Abah was feeling.
Azis was different from the other two brothers. If Umar and Ali are busy studying to find scholarships. Another case with Azis who was busy playing here and there.
In the world of cooperation, Umar and Ali chose to dedicate themselves in the pesantren to serve and teach, although not in Abah Hasim's pesantren. Such things also did not apply to Azis.
When the two kaka are busy studying and working, Azis actually prefers the aura, swagger, unclear direction and purpose.
Luckily, Khadijah Azis's parents were able to get accepted to work for the big company AVB, which is owned by a young CEO named Arkana Virendra Brawijaya. It was also thanks to the Recommendations of the Khadijah Parents at the time.
Khadijah's parents who have worked for a long time at the AVB company so it could be easy to recruit Azis as a worker there.
Because of that, Khadijah was a little surprised by the dismissal that occurred to his cousin.
“Babar Bah. We just pray Mas Azis to quickly realize”
Although there were still many questions in Khadijah's head, for a moment he tried to dampen it. Remembering the face of Abah who was not okay when talking about his eldest son.
