Falling in Love with Champion Qori.

Chapter 3.

Not waiting long, finally kyai Abdullah came out to meet Alifa who was still sitting in the living room ndalem. When he saw the arrival of his kyai, Alifa also rose up while saying greetings.

"Assalamu'alaikum kyai .. !Say Alifa while Salim with reverence and kiss the back of the hand of the owner of the boarding school.

"Waalaikumusalam warahmatullahi wabarokatu..! Please sit down, son."

"Good kyai.thank you !"

"Alifa.., do you know why Abi called you here ?"

"No kyai, did I have any kyai mistakes until kyai called me ?"

Alifa's heart was more and more unsettled, when kyai Abdullah and ummi Khasanah looked at each other and looked at Alifa with a gaze that was not as usual. I don't know why Alifa is getting more agitated in this situation.

"What mistakes have I made so far..! did I disappoint you while here ? well, how is this ? Ummi and kyai kok look scary gini sich...! o Allah.quiet Alifa tenangg..!!" Inner Alifa monologue calmed herself.

"Alifa..! kenapa kamu kelihatan gelisah sekali? Begini Alifa, Abi memanggil mu kemari, karena ingin menyampaikan kalau kamu harus mempersiapkan diri kamu mulai sekarang untuk mengikuti ajang MTQ bulan depan. Abi yakin kamu akan mampu mencapai hasil terbaik."

Alifa was stunned by overwhelming shock she did not expect to be chosen by her kyai directly to participate in the prestigious race. Although this is not the first time Alifa took part in the race but for the MTQ event as this level is a gift and pride for anyone elected santri.

"But kyai...? say... I can what ? all this time I followed the race only limited to the scope of pesantren. I'm afraid of disappointing kyai.do I deserve to follow in the event outside the pesantren..?"

"No result comes instantly son. The struggle needs sacrifice, Don't be pessimistic about yourself. Show that Abi Abdullah's students have potential and abilities that must be developed. Learn and start believing in your own abilities." Ummi Khasanah gave advice to Alifa.

"Okay kyai ummi, I will try to may Allah bless my steps.please pray kyai ummi!"

After a conversation with the leader of the cottage and his wife, Alifa returned to the room to continue the activity that had stopped earlier, which was to clean the private closet and arrange it to look neat.

"yieee.who just met kyai seriously very non..!" Zia poked Alifa's serious cheeks in front of her personal closet.

"huuff...! Alifa threw out her breath with annoyance due to the prank of her friend.

"What sich Zia, it's not clear what you are. Udah there away do not run around this later work if you disturb me continue. Sana mumpung holiday also clean your closet. don't squalid so girls, must be neat, clean, let in the lyrics noh same ustadz idol."

" Help....! kumat dech first lady if nagging hygiene problems can be 7 days 7 nights not round-as well. Kabuuuurrr....!!"

"hey.basal spoiled child." said Alifa while throwing a pillow at Zia who ran to the outside of her room.

After the death of the rioting Zia, Alifa also rearranged her personal items. Books, clothes, and others to make it look neatly arranged and pleasing to the eye.

yes that's Alifa child who really likes cleanliness and neatness wherever he is, let alone his personal place. Alifa is very clean even though she is a lodging child who tends to say people are far from neat, but this is Alifa's life that is very clean even though it is a room occupied by several people. for Alifa, cleanliness is a personal mirror of someone, let alone a hadith that says cleanliness of some of the faith.
