Dormitory Waiter
The Sweet
الٓمّٓ ...تَنۡزِيۡلُ الۡكِتٰبِ لَا رَيۡبَ فِيۡهِ مِنۡ رَّبِّ الۡعٰلَمِيۡنَؕ
The sound of As-Sajadah surah chanting read by all santri is one of the surahs for nightwives. They read together led by students who have been scheduled by the board of the santri organization or commonly called OSIS by the school in general.
They read no one precedes the lead, if the lead reads it fast then the other santri is relieved of heart because it is not long to immediately have dinner, if the schedule santri who read his relaxed but melodious voice santri still do not grumble in the heart, however, if the reading is relaxed, the tone is not because the santri begin to grumble with words.
"Well, I don't know if you're hungry"
There are also those who grumble with,
"Sleep hasten to try to read it"
For tonight who leads the evening wirid his reading is good and also not too slow which makes the whole santri solemn and solemn' read every verse of the evening wirid.
اِنَّمَا يُؤۡمِنُ بِاٰيٰتِنَا الَّذِيۡنَ اِذَا ذُكِّرُوۡا بِهَا خَرُّوۡا سُجَّدًا وَّسَبَّحُوۡا بِحَمۡدِ رَبِّهِمۡ وَهُمۡ لَا يَسۡتَكۡبِرُوۡنَ۩
The prayer verse they had read, in the sunah right when reading the prayer verse for the prostration of the sahwi. The santri prostrate all sahwi. They continued reading the night wire until it was over.
After finishing the ceremony as usual the santri went to the kitchen for dinner with delicious cuisine made by the kitchen mothers.
After dinner, all the students headed to the dormitory, including Ahmad, who happened to walk alone, not with other friends.
The distance between the kitchen and the dormitory is quite a bit more than a hundred meters and the streets uphill if from the direction of the kitchen so that there are some students who complain.
"Lapar again if this is the way, just eat at the road far njak again". said one santri
The pathway to the kitchen passes through the Ibtidaiyah Madrasah building or is common at short intervals with MI. When Ahmad passed the MI building, Ahmad saw a woman in red under a banyan tree in front of the office of the MI teacher. Because Ahmad is often disturbed, seeing and hearing the voice of supernatural beings, Ahmad can control his fear because he is used to it.
Ahmad who saw this red-clothed woman continued to pay attention and there happened to be a friend passing by, Ahmad told the figure of the red-clothed woman to one of the santri named Yusran.
"Yus, let's see that, there's a girl wearing a mera shirt". said Ahmad told his true Yusran he was the son of Pondok Pesantren residents as well so he understood who this woman in red.
"You can see Mad yes, you are liked by her, because she will show herself to humans if the man is similar to her husband who also died". Yusran explained about the Manis with Ahmad.
"Said Irwan he's good huh?" ask Ahmad.
"Yes she is good and will protect people who look like her husband.
"Come nearin, mumpung santri already in all dormitories.
"You alone, I'm here to eat". replied Yusran who did not dare mentally like Ahmad.
Ahmad also approached the Sweet One, the Sweet One just ducked a smile to Ahmad
"Si Sweet.." call Ahmad.
The Sweetie just smiled and let out a little giggling laughter. And slowly disappeared somewhere.
Ahmad searched by looking forward to the class, up the tree, and to other dark places but the Sweet was no longer seen.
Ahmad immediately approached Yusran.
"Where is Mad". asked Yusran
"It's okay he just smiled and kept laughing and disappeared not knowing where". Ahmad explained what happened.
"Yes, let's go to the dormitory ready to rest". invited Yusran who was actually scared just did not want to show that fear.
The two of them went to the dormitory and returned to the dormitory to get ready for bed because they woke up at half-three in the morning to pray lail.
Ahmad did not feel fear as usual, but he wanted to know more about the Sweet One, his face was very beautiful when Ahmad approached but his skin was very pale. Ahmad was curious about the Sweet One he could touch or not. Ahmad also overslept brought with his imagination about the Sweet. The sweet smiled looking at Ahmad who was asleep in the room.
