It's up to God
Happy New Life
A few years later, Hafiz was a teenager. Ammar and Nadira decided to move to the pesantren because of Ammar's promise to his brother, which is they will live in pesantren owned by his brother after Hafiz graduated from Elementary School.
Pondok Pesantren Al Fathonah became the starting gate Ammar really left his job as an artist and Nadira get new inspiration for novels with a more Islamic genre to be published in the future. Hafiz, the son of Nadira and Ammar began to deepen religious knowledge in the boarding school owned by his grandfather.
"Papa. We really need to, yeah, move out of here?" ask Hafiz while helping Ammar pack.
"Yes, Son. Papa has promised your grandfather, if you have graduated from Elementary School, we will live in Pondok Pesantren Al Fathonah," replied Ammar who still looks very busy packing. Then occasionally look at the face of his son who looks sad.
"Hafiz must be sad because this house has so many memories of your childhood, right? Although papa rarely comes home, but Hafiz will certainly miss this house very much," said Ammar who understands his son's feelings. Nadira and Ammar had not been given any more children after the birth of Hafiz, but that did not make them sad. They always think well of the Owner of Destiny, because He (God) knows best for their lives.
Hafiz nodded. Then Nadira came to bring all the goods that had been packed. Ammar, who saw Nadira having trouble carrying these items, immediately approached.
"Before a minute, I'll help you first" said Ammar.
"I also want to help my mother" said Hafiz, pursuing his papa steps.
The two men who are loved by Nadira were compact to bring items that have been finished packed and taken to the car. Nadira smiles happily at him and is proud of Hafiz, growing up to be a child who God willing as expected.
An hour later, all their goods had already been transported all over. Some items are assisted by pick up cars and others they carry with them in private cars.
Nadira, Ammar, and Hafiz noticed every corner of the room in the house that had been the most comfortable place to live in his life. The environment they have lived in for several years is very positive. Moreover, the neighbors are friendly and like to help. However, Ammar's promise to his brother and to himself, could not be denied. Moreover, his brother Ammar is getting older, there is no harm in serving the boarding school that has long been built by his brother.
After a long journey, the three of them finally reached the boarding house Al Fathonah. They were welcomed by the students with a series of events, in between welcoming the arrival of children, daughters-in-law, and grandchildren of Kiai Lutfi as the leader of the boarding school; inform all students and caregivers that Ammar is the heir of Pondok Pesantren Al Fathonah who will continue the struggle of the cottage when at any time, his death picks up; as well as some important things that must be informed at the same time with the arrival of Ammar, Nadira, and Hafiz.
Hafiz approached his grandparents after the event. Hafiz said that he was happy because there were many students of his age who carried out Islamic religious education in the boarding school. Although the rules in the pesantren are very strict, Hafiz does not object to the rules that apply.
Some habits or activities that are routinely done every day is to wake up early, because life becomes a santri is not much different from the Muslim life in general, namely waking up early for dawn prayers. However, as children of the cottage, they had to wake up early, which is around 03.00 WIB to perform evening prayers and mujahadah, after which—continued congregational Fajr prayers. Mujahadah is a kind of remembrance together. Although not all pesantren do mujahadah, but in Pesantren Al Fathonah is one of the pesantren who carry out routine activities of joint remembrance which is done twice in a day, first after the Fajr prayer and second after the Magrib prayer.
Many things are taught when entering pesantren, including living simply and eating together with potluck dishes. However, Hafiz felt confident that he would be able to live as a santri. As the name implies, Wahid Amzar Hafizuddin Baraqbah means a first boy who has a noble nature and has a strong shoulder in maintaining religion. Despite being born into a wealthy family, Hafiz never felt more than anyone else. He is very caring and likes to help. This is what makes Nadira and Ammar proud of his son. They felt grateful to have been blessed with a child like Hafiz. Especially when Hafiz admitted, did not mind to stay in the pesantren which incidentally does not often hold hp. Usually if it is for, occasionally playing games, but after living in the pesantren, Hafiz can not feel the facilities as obtained before.
H.m says. Arifin (1995:14), the general purpose of pesantren is to guide students to become human beings with Islamic personality, Islamic, who can with his knowledge become missionary (one who conveys the teachings of Islam either orally or in writing) Islam in the surrounding community through science and practice.
In the evening, for the first time Hafiz lived and slept with the students in the boarding house Al Fathonah, no longer a roof with his parents, but still in the same neighborhood.
"May Hafiz stay and befriend the santri here" Nadira said, hugging her son.
"Mama take it easy, Hafiz will never disappoint Mama and Papa, especially Lutfi grandfather," said Hafiz.
Ammar smiled to see his son was a teenager with an increasingly mature mind. Since childhood, it has been seen that he was a submissive child and all this time, Ammar and Nadira never complained about the delinquencies that made them ride black.
"Ehem, what a cheap mosquito repellent, yes!" ammar said, joking. His behavior seemed to be social jealousy, because only Nadira was hugged by Hafiz.
Because carried away by feeling, the clear liquid from the eye patch Nadira out and did not focus on the intent of her husband's joke sentence.
"There's a lot of mosquitoes here, Pa?" nadira asked with a plain face.
Hafiz withdrew Ammar's hand, uniting his parents' hands.
"Anyways, Mama and Papa don't have to worry. Hafiz will study earnestly here in order to make everyone proud of Hafiz. Let Allah also be proud of Hafiz who is passionate in gaining religious knowledge." Hafiz always contains onions.
Because it was time to sleep, Hafiz said goodbye to his room. Ammar embraced Nadira affectionately. There was a lot of hope in both of them. May God always grant all their prayers and wishes to their families.
