Dormitory Waiter
Black Cat



 


At the beginning of the first pioneering of this pesantren cottage. Many of the early santri found human skeletons and skulls, both scattered and buried in the ground, there are also early santri found the bodies that have lived bones scattered under a large tree, and there are also early santri, in the tree there is a circular rope, it could be in approx that he committed suicide or was deliberately hung by the Japanese invaders.


Early Santri also very often saw ghost sightings of various models. Because it is equipped with religious knowledge and strong beliefs then he was able to fight that fear until the Pondok Pesantren large and magnificent as today.


Heavy rain mixed with strong winds made the trees sway violently. The clock shows at 01.45 where the santri have slept soundly in addition to the rain mixed with the wind then the santri was getting better sleep because the cold began to puncture into the skin that is always washed with ablution water.


Only a few students who picket night shelter in front of the dormitory office, some are sitting, some are squatting while wrapping their hands on both legs, and some are sitting, there are also those who had run to the room just to grab a blanket and return to the office directly lying on the sofa pulling a blanket covering his body.


Two santri picket night stuck rain on the top floor so can not go down because the stairs to come down outside the building, these two santri named Amri and Rizky. They sat in front of the santri's room while covering their bodies with a sarong that they always wore when picketing at night, the original ones they used to avoid mosquito bites but tonight to reduce the cold that pierced to the bone.


 


"Will the wind?" ask Amri to Rizky.


"yes it's very heavy, until the rain water goes into the veranda, real and tomorrow at the tell the nanny mopping again the picket daily hahahaha.." joked Rizky.


"Look at the lightning like a root already in the sky, horrified by the night rain. Tuh.tuh.tuh.lamp on the street aja want to tekipay because of the blowing of the hehehe wind." said Amri half-joked.


"yes uh cringe at the wind. Real dah mosque is also wet in the part where the halaqoh, the water can enter through the ventilation" said Rizky.


 


The two of them continued to chat until it did not feel an hour more rain had not subsided and even more rapid. They both began to sleepy, Amri leaned against the front wall of the room santri door, Rizky lying on the floor with a sarong.


 


"Borrow santri aja yo mattress so it's not so cold." take Rizky


"Let's go." replied Rizky, he immediately stood up and went into the room looking for an empty mattress. Soon Rizky came out with two mattresses, two pillows, one blanket.


"Nih.." said Rizky while giving mattress and pillow to Amri.


 


They immediately looked for a safe place to slap the mattress. After getting a suitable place they both directly slapped the mattress, they immediately lay down.


 


"Don't sleep lo ya, we're out tomorrow at the head of the dorm" said Amri warned Rizky not to sleep.


"Ready, safe." replied Rizky while playing the rubik that was always in his pocket.


 


They are back to chatting and not knowing what they both discussed. Their conversation was cut with a black cat meongan that directly approached them both asked in elus, Amri who is a cat lover directly holding the black cat and stroking it until the cat brushes to the envy.


 


"She came from where if from the santri room it is impossible to be closed all, if from the bottom floor it is also impossible that she is not wet." rizky murmured inwardly and continued to pay attention to the black cat.


 


The black cat felt the same look at Rizky until they looked at each other and the cat smiled at Rizky. Rizky rubbed his eyes and looked at the cat, clearly in his eyes when the cat smiled.


 


"Amri taro the cat, it's not right the cat. Cepaat taroo." said Rizky who had been trembling in fear.


"What the hell is Ky?" amri asked confused by Rizky's frightened behavior.


"That cat smiles at me." replied Rizky as she hit the black cat with her scabbard to make the cat run away from them both.


Amri the cat lover is angry with Rizky for hitting the cat.


"That's not it, that's a cat. Bad is you." said Amri half-stomped.


"That's not a real cat, she's smiling at me Ri I'm not lying for God's sake" said the frightened Rizky.


 


In the midst of their debate, they were shocked by the sound of meongan again.


 


"Meoong...Meeongg...Meeoonngg."


 


Amri and Rizky turned to the source of the cat's voice. They saw the black cat already in the hallway standing with both feet and waving towards Amri and Rizky. Rizky who from the beginning was terrified immediately ran to take a broom after the cat, in the same row Amri who initially did not believe to be very trusting. The black cat immediately ran into Santri's room. Amri and Rizky immediately pushed the door of the room and turned on the lights to make some students shocked by the sound of the door squeaking on the floor. Amri and Rizky immediately looked for the black cat in the room but there was not the slightest trace of the cat.


 


"Dah wants to pray lail kah." asked one of the santri.


"Yes in a moment, just sleep again is okay still raining too" replied Rizky who immediately went out of the room in follow Amri.


 


When it was outside Rizky saw the cat was on their bed lay earlier, back again they pursued. The black cat ran towards the stairs downstairs Amri and Rizky followed him again losing track.


Without a second thought they both came down and joined his friends in front of the dormitory office who some had already fallen asleep. Amri and Rizky did not tell the incident to his night picket friends they immediately sat down and soon fell asleep because they were already sleepy.


The rain still did not stop, but the wind was no longer there. The heavy rain continued until dawn, so that all the santri were not awakened to the lail prayer, awakened ketila to the morning prayer only, because the night picket officers fell asleep all carried by the caress of cold temperatures in the night.
