"Don't say so fa.., surely we'll see you later. Even though we all come from different regions God willing we will meet again."
Zia began to get carried away by the speech of Alifa who discussed about those who soon graduated. Of course it makes Zia also think that later it will be difficult to meet again with Alifa, Sofi and other friends.
In addition to those from different areas, of course, the busyness of the lecture will be the main consideration of the difficulty of meeting. Alifa plans to continue studying at a medical university according to her father's wishes. Although Alifa herself is reluctant to dabble in the medical world, while Zia herself will study in tarbiyah. But I don't know if it's still a wish.
"We have slept together in one room for six years Zia. We are both in this room in her joys and sorrows as santri. Our farewell will certainly stick in our hearts, because many moments that we have passed together. I'm almost 13 years old here in the boarding school, Zia. Of course it is hard to leave this pesantren. Darul Huda is like a house to me. I'm so sad, Zia."
Alifa at length expressed her uneasy feelings to Zia.
"Why don't you stay here aja fa.., of course ummi khasanah and kyai Abdullah are very happy if you serve in the hut here. You can go to college from here."
"I'm also confused, Dad wanted me to go to college in the capital. But I'm not sure if I'm going to stay there. I don't know if I'll see you after graduation."
The conversation between the two friends continues. There's a lot they talk about. To the extent that they were unaware of Sofi's presence from earlier listening to the chatter of Alifa and Zia behind them.
"Sophii...!" zia and Alifa said at the same time.
"You been here a long time? " ask Zia wonder.
"Udah from 2 hours ago."
Spontaneous Zia hits Sofi's arm in anxiety with Sofi's annoying answer.
"Aduuuhh....!!" screeched Sofi while rubbing her arm that was hit by Zia.
"Finally in serious question is not a real answer even ngeselin so.'' replied Zia while throbbing.
Alifa just smiled in response to the behavior of the two friends who will be separated in a few months.
As they were engrossed in arguing suddenly sounded a joke from some santri who discussed Gus Al.
Alifa actually did not respond to the chat of some of the santri. But the more here their chatter gets crowded.
Sofi, Alifa and Zia also exchanged glances to hear the words for santri yan'in son kyai Abdullah who had just come from Cairo Egypt.
Gus Al, who had just returned to his parents' second residence, namely Kyai Abdullah and ummi khasanah, attracted the attention of the santri in Darul Huda.
They always talk about Gus Al who they think is very handsome and dashing.
"There are them, as if they had never seen a handsome, handsome man." said Sofi upset because he was uncomfortable to hear the students who gathered and discussed Gus Al who had just returned from studying in al Azhar.
" La indeed they never see a handsome guy. We've been in a holy prison for a long time and here are all women. how about sich..!" Answer Alifa quickly.
The three of them looked at each other and then laughed together to hear Alifa's slightly silly words.
"Basal Alifa recek..!" zia said with a laugh.
