Falling in Love with Champion Qori.

Chapter 8 . Activities at the cottage.

The day was passed by Alifa with a spirit, a new spirit that is extraordinary. Alifa always practice to process the vocals and tones especially the reading and the clutch. Alifa's voice was good, no wonder she was chosen.

As the saying goes, assemble upstream swim-swim to the edge of the sick first have fun later. That's what Alifa is experiencing now. The 14-year-old girl is going through a period where she has to be sick to pursue her dreams, pursue the best ideals to follow the Musabaqoh Tilawatil Qur'an event. He put in extra effort, with perseverance that deserves a thumbs up, Alifa is tireless in training. All instructions from kyai and ustadzah caregivers always Alifa obey.

In addition to persevering in the effort, Alifa was also diligent in praying. He always took the time to wake up in a third of the night when his friends were still sleeping soundly. Like tonight Alifa woke up at 03.00 in the morning. Like there was an alarm in Alifa, before going to bed Alifa prayed and intended to wake up at 03.00. It turns out that Allah eases Alifa's good intentions.

"Aren't you sleeping with Alifa? I noticed you were awake." Rika's newly awakened. After a while, he woke up and kept silent, watching Alifa who was solemn in night prayers and praying.

" Eeeh you just woke up Rik..?"

"Bah from earlier kale..! you're too solemn to see that I'm awake."

"if dah from earlier why bengong kayak bagong in bed nah.why not go down and take ablution and pray try ? Even look at me." said Alifa while removing her face and folding it to make it neat.

"Basar Alifa resek even ngatain I like bagong" said Rika while pouting and lying on her stomach on a pillow to hear the words of Alifa.

Alifa chuckled to hear and saw the expression of her roommate who had just woken up pouting.

"Basar spoiled child, already at dawn is still said at night.had let's wake up there ready.don't hear what it was ustadzah babysitter room dah guerrilla in the next room. Let's wake up and not come to our room." Alifa spoke while waking up her other friend.

" huuft.gini nih if the first lady has acted we can do anything." Grunts annoyed Zia who was forced to wake up because Alifa had already pulled her blanket.

Not only Zia, a friend who roomed with Alifa also inevitably had to wake up before the dawn adhan was heard from the mosque toa cottage. Such was Alifa, he who was always diligent in waking up other friends.

*******

After the dawn adhan was heard from the mosque hut, finally all the santri flocked to the mosque. Although many are still sleepy, but that's the great thing about living in a boarding school.

Starting with compulsion eventually everything will become habituation. Nothing is easy to start living in pesantren.all have to go through a long process that makes people almost give up.

After the completion of the morning worshipers, do not forget they always listen to the tausiyah of the ustadzah.and continue with the activities of teaching the book in their respective dormitories with the bodies of caregivers who are ready to do their duties.
