Holy Prison

PS 40 - Loss of Supri Money

“This is, my sister is the most and always perfect. He never had any defects. He was so considerate of me, always belain me in front of my parents, always glorify me in front of everyone, always glorify me, and he's the only one who's willing to beg me to let me not get into this holy prison! O, yes, he was even willing to replace me when I was slapped by my own parents for a mistake I didn't understand. Right, Brother? An example of a good brother. You all need to know!” i, sarcas.

My voice provoked another santri to come closer, let it be. Let Arum and everyone know the perfection that Ulfa has. Perfection I never knew how it came to be.

Now in front of me there are many students who are curious about what is happening.

“Nin.” Ulfa is crying. So did Arum and Farha.

"Lho, why cry, brother? Oh yeah, I know, let's make it look perfect, right?" I said.

"Nindy.. Brother please." said Brother Ulfa.

“Fans lo many tuh. I feel that this despicable me has not pantes anymore so the sister of a perfect brother like elo.” I said. Then walk away from them all.

My steps stopped when I got to the place where I told the little boy to buy bread, the place that caused me and Gus.. Forgetit. Assume that part was never in my life story.

My tears are falling. I wiped it fast.

“Mbak don't be so sad, I'm so sad, what's really going on, Ma'am? Just a story, Ma'am, let's be relieved.” said Arum. He really loves me sincerely like he does. Because look at the many students who are close to me there even my brother there only he and Farha who are beside me at this time.

“Go!” I said.

“Mbak..” says Farha.

“Go!” I said, my tone went up a few octaves.

“But, Ma'am.” is now the voice of Arum, there is a hoarse voice there.

“Go.” said.

Farha and Arum were still unmoved. Now I hear a little stuffing sound from their mouths. I did not tell them to leave again because it was useless even with the gentleness of his heart, his grace, they were still stubborn children who were loyal friends.

Now we are both silent. Farha sighed, trying to stabilize her own state. Arum did something similar.

“Mbak Nindy, want to come or not?” ask Supri. Her tone is so strange. And it was as if he had memorized those words before meeting me.

I'm shaking.

He's ambushed. Baffled. He couldn't answer my words back. He called Farha to translate her language to me.

“Say Supri, yaudah Mbak he wants to go first with me.” said Farha. His smile was still engraved clearly on his lips. But the smile was not as bright as before.

After saying goodbye. They're out. And here I am. By ourselves. There's not a single room kid here. I also decided to sleep. And fly me to dreamland.

“Mbak, Sister Nindy, wake up.” I feel my body being shaken slowly.

“Why?” my many.

“Anu, Ma'am. Sorry, I woke up. Look, Supri's money is lost in the closet, and the last person in this room is just Mbak.” said Farha.

I still find it hard to digest his words. On one hand my life has not been fully accumulated and on the other I have not been able to digest what is going on. Farha who caught my signal of confusion repeated her words again.

"Supri's money is missing in the closet, Ma'am" Farha said.

“Lo accuse me of turning?” my question is full of search. Just be right. How does it feel if you are engrossed in sleep continue to be built and after waking up, you are accused of being a thief. In fact, there is nothing I do while sleeping.

“Where there are ngaku. If you are thinking prison must be full, Mbak.” said Linda.

Lucky my distance with Linda was quite far, so I couldn't slap her. I could only look at him with a sharp look. Supri was beside him crying with her so heart-wrenching stuffing voice. Another santri was watching us. It seems in their eyes this kind of event is so exciting and dear if missed.

“On what basis do you accuse me of maling?” I said.

“We all know that Mbak is in this room alone from earlier.” said Linda.

"Gue told me I was sleeping." I said.

"Ah, can you, Ma'am, lie. In any case, if you lie, you're alone, no one knows" Linda said.

“So that because I am alone here, you can be as good as accusing me?” I said growled.

“Lantas who else, Ma'am?” ask Linda.

“Can aja elo. Lo enter when I sleep again and you take the money Si Supri.” I said.

“Lho you know, how am I, Ma'am? No, it's slander why would Mbak slander so?” said Linda.

“That's also what you're doing to me! Lo slander me as good as lo eidat, my turn back slander you even do not accept, yes I also gitu.” I said, raising my tone.

I lost an Anindya Athaya Zahran who changed a while ago. Now I've really become the first Nindy to come to pon-pes, the untouched Nindy.

“See Mbak-Mbak, he accused me instead, obviously he was in this room and Supri's money was lost when Supri went to study with us, is that not enough evidence?” said Linda.

Everyone started whispering. I know Linda's influence is very strong and the words that come out of her mouth must have had a lot of impact. I don't know why I'm constantly in the spotlight. Even just because of my frequent act of being defamed for doing the most shameful thing, stealing.

"Mbak Linda wait, Ma'am can not directly accuse Mbak Nindy so. I'm sure Ms. Nindy isn't a thief" Arum said, defending me.

"Wong the evidence is clear. He was clearly alone in the room. There's nobody else" Linda said.

"We can ask first to Ms. Nindy, if there are people who come to this room or not. Do not immediately accuse. Ma'am, did anyone come in?" ask Arum, to me.

"Gue doesn't know. My man slept from earlier. I know if anyone has come in or not" I said.

"Tuh kan, Mbak-Mbak bisa lihat sendiri. Mbak Nindy pasti bohong sama kita. Kalau memang ada yang masuk harusnya walaupun dia tidur pasti dia dengar. Jam segini biasanya tidur kita itu tidur ayam. Mata merem tapi tetap dengar." kata Linda.

"Daddy, Supri! Your money fell on the street." I said seeing Supri.

He spoke words in Javanese. I rolled my eyeballs.

"He said he didn't bring money, Ma'am. You can ask Farha. You see Farha who was with him earlier" said Arum.

"Really, Far? He didn't bring money when he left?" I asked Farha.

"Look at me, I don't bring any money, ma'am. He just brought a book" said Farha. "But I'm sure, it's not Mbak who took it because Mbak slept." he continued.

"No, Ma'am, I said what. It must have been Nindy's sister who took it." said Linda.

Since the incident I humiliated him for claiming to be Gus Faiz's future wife, apparently he was increasingly looking for my mistakes.

"No way!" arum and Farha together.
