DRIBBLE

SCHEMATICS

The arrival of Zahra with ustazdah in the dormitory princess, make the whole hostel splash full of joy. The gazes of the fellow santri were full of wonder, full of question marks and blazing happily in their eyes mixed together into one, the gaze all fixed on Zahra.

Zahra seemed to still not understand the current situation and conditions. Why do all his friends look at him with such joy? He felt like he was doing nothing, just playing with his new friend but the gazes of all his friends seemed strange to see his presence.

"Zahra where is it...?"

"We know you know..."

"You're missing from here..."

"Where have you been all day Zahra...?"

the babbles of the little children were unpretentious, flocking Zahra curiously at the point of Zahra. Zahra seemed confused by the words of her friends.

"Everyday?" mummified Zahra.

The girl frowned deeply. He felt like just a few minutes to play with his new friend, why did his friends say all day?

"Disappeared?" mummified Zahra.

Zahra recalled the first beginning of her meeting with the Princess. He felt he was still in the neighborhood of Tahfiz house and nowhere when he saw the Princess who waved her invite him to play.

Zahra silently listened to various words from her friends. The little girl's thoughts were filled with things that she thought were strange and completely incomprehensible to her. He felt like he was going nowhere and just playing with the princess, but why did his friends say they were looking for him?

"Already, let Zahra rest for a moment. Holy, get Zahra some drinking water, yes" the ustazdah man named Alia.

"In the moment to pray magrib, let's get ready for congregational prayer in the mosque yes," said Ustazdah Aulia again.

"Yes sis.." said the children in unison, his voice filled the dorm room.

......................

In the central room of the main house of Tahfiz house, Ustad Jalal, ustad Sofyan, ustad Fajri, ustad Sihab and several other ustad were swarming the bodies of Amir's ustad that was strewn on the floor carpeted.

Ustad Sofyan tried to help Amir by patting his cheeks, while other fellow ustad massaged his fingers. But Ustad Amir did not wake up either. Shortly after the Hajj Abas came, his face looked very tired with sweat still pouring on his face. His clothes were drenched in sweat.

An ustad rushed away from the place to get drinking water when he saw the arrival of Haji Abas. Ustad Sofyan and the others soon shifted to provide a place for the Hajj Abas.

“How is the condition of ustad Amir?” ask Haji Abas then sat down next to the head of Amir.

“Still unconscious sir Hajj,” replied ustad Jalal.

Before Haji Abas opened his mouth to say to ask for water, an ustad arrived with two glasses of water. Haji Abas also paused his words.

“This is for Hajj sir and this is for ustad Amir, hajj sir,” said ustad put two glasses in front of Haji Abas.

Haji Abah grabbed one of the glasses and took a sip to the toilet and put the empty glass back. Then he took another glass, but this time it was just close to his mouth. The mouth of Haji Abas seemed to be committed to reciting prayer and then the next moment he blew it into the glass filled with water.

Abas slowly poured the water in the glass into his right palm so as not to spill. Then the water in the palm of the hand was splashed onto the face of the deceased Amir who was lying motionless with both eyes tightly closed.

A moment later slowly the eyelids of ustad Amir moved and opened his eyes. As the eyes of the two men of Amir open again, thanksgiving in unison came out from other fellow ustad.

“Alhamdulilbornobbil alamaiiin.” said the ustads in unison with the face of sumringah pay attention to ustad Amir.

“Za, Zah..hra, hajj sir.. how about Zah..ra?!” said ustad Amir lirih and brick.

“Alhamdulillah, thank goodness.” said ustad Amir then tried to get up to sit down.

Other fellow ustad reflexes also help ustad Amir sit down. Ustad Amir drowned looking around him, his face filled with astonishment.

“Kok, I'm here.?” ask ustad Amir.

The question made all the ustad and Haji Abas laugh amusedly. While the look on Amir's face grew more confused, he seemed to try to remember previous events.

"Once, it's the story. Now clean your bodies and get ready to perform the magrib prayer," Hajj Abas.

"O, yes finished praying magrib later there are those who want to talk to ustad-ustad all related to the conditions requested by the supernatural being" he continued.

"Conditions?!" sela ustad Zaqi.

"What are the terms of Hajj?!" timpal ustad Jalal's.

While the rest of ustad just nodded their heads asserting the same question in their hearts.

"Yes, condition. So Zahra's return was on one condition. But take it easy, you already have a plan and strategy with those conditions. Already later we obrolin further after the magrib prayer" said Haji Abas then moved to enter one of the rooms to clean themselves.

......................

After performing the magrib prayer, all Tahfiz santri follow the tadarus and learn to read and memorize the Quran. They are divided into small groups according to the level and length of time to enter the house of Tahfiz. With the guidance of an ustad and ustadzah in each group. The sound in the mosque was crowded by the chants of the recitation of holy verses of the Quran filled the mosque room.

Meanwhile, Haji Abas and some of the non-duty teachers were seated in a circle on the front porch floor of the mosque. As mentioned earlier, Haji Abas wanted to convey the terms he had agreed with Karbala.

“Then are we really going to move Hajj sir?!” ask ustad Sofyan objection.

“Yes no, so from that I want to discuss this justad. I did not let it happen when the supernatural was put forward because all I thought about was for Zahra to be returned,” said Haji Abas.

“If not move, then how about Haji?” ask ustad Jalal doesn't understand.

“We do the resistance!” haji Abas.

The Ustads were flabbergasted to hear Abas's Hajj schemes and decisions. From the look on their faces were doubt and doubt. They are reminded of the condition of the unconscious Amir when facing the magical creature waiting for the banyan tree.

“Punten hajj sir, what about the strength of the tree guardian creature? Can we handle it?” Ustad Sofyan asked worriedly.

Haji Abas was silent for a moment, Sofyan's question was enough to make his heart become doubtful. He himself has felt the power of the supernatural and has been able to measure how strong the creature is.

But the next second Haji Abas smiled, then he conveyed the strategy that flashed in his mind at that time. Not a tactic as the ousted thought by doing a battle of strength.

“Siasat I do not fight by fighting ustad pitting strength. But the strategy I had in mind was to cut down the tree!” haji Abas.

"Well! down fell?" sergah ustad.

"Wouldn't that make the supernatural even more angry, Hajj sir?!" timpal ustad Jalal's.

"Blogically, if the house is destroyed automatically the creature will move by itself. Later we ask for help RT sir to find a handyman. Usually the slaughterer has his own way of dealing with supernatural creatures that inhabit the tree." explained Haji Abas.
