Two days have passed since Desy's rejection of Reyhan and his gift, now Desy felt a little calm because Reyhan no longer told the class sister or stopped her on the road just to express feelings or ask Desy to accept it.
"It's so sweet this morning," Shinta's parrot who just came after a shower.
"Seneng donk, now Kan Friday and you must have known if today is a day free from all duties," explained Desy.
Friday is indeed an independent day for most santri, some are in the family, some are huddled under the clothesline, some are, there are also those who play jumping rope even there are also those who only sleep all day.
There are no school assignments, as well as madin which will usually take place after the dzuhur prayer. But especially for Friday almost all activities in liburkan, so all day full of students can relax enjoy it.
"But you still remember the usual task given by Umik, right?" Shinta is so understanding that Desy still has some work to do on Friday though.
"I've done all Shin's work, you're calm, today I want to enjoy the day off, relax all day. You still have a comic or a novel I can read?" ask Desy.
I don't know why today he feels like relaxing enjoying life while reading a novel or comic that is usually the laziest he reads.
"So, which one do you want to read? comic or novel?" Shinta offers one of its hidden collections.
Actually in pesantren is prohibited to carry or store novels or comics, but Shinya has its own way to store his favorite items, it is not, some of the novels and comics that he did not read would be kept in the school drawer that had always been safe, Shinta would only bring one or two of her collections for her to read as entertainment in the pesantren. Shinta also has a hidden place behind the closet locker, she always tucked her favorite books there.
"Just comic, let's read it not too long," replied Desy.
Desy is also an ordinary man, no matter what time he is and however much he still has a bad side that sometimes encourages him to break the rules in the pesantren, although the offense is not a serious offense, the name of the violation is wrong.
Shinta who is a hobby of reading the two objects rushed to take it behind the closet and give it to Desy.
"This is for you." Shinta said giving one comic to Desy who was immediately greeted by him.
Desy began to read sheet by sheet of comics in his hands and hidden behind books, that's how the students when reading comics or novels, or hidden behind books, they always put it in a book when reading so as not to be too visible from outside the room.
"Mbak Desy!" call a santri who almost every day tells him if Erwin Huda's personal assistant comes to deliver food.
"Yes, Ma'am, what's wrong?" Desy always answered the santri call with the same sentence almost every day.
"Alright, thank you Ma'am," Desy said as she stood to save the comic she read behind a hidden locker cabinet so that no one outside the room could find it, Then he stepped in a definite step after wearing a hijab towards the outside of the gate of the princess boarding school where Erwin used to wait for him.
Several months have passed, but not once Erwin took off to deliver food to the pesantren. Even he came on Sundays, although sometimes he was also late to take her but still not a day passed without food from her.
Desy was so astonished by Iwan's attitude, she was indeed a model and obedient scholar, indeed, though Erwin could have told others to drive him or even send a gojek that is currently spread almost throughout Indonesia.
"Miss, this is Mr. Huda's gift box for you." Erwin said while thrusting a box at Desy.
"Gift for what? I'm not having a birthday today" replied Desy with a puzzled expression staring at the heart-red box that was still in Erwin's hands.
"Sorry Miss, I'm only in charge of delivering this box, and I have no right to know why you sent it to me." Erwin answered honestly.
"Alright, thank you," replied Desy with a puffed-up smile on her lips.
"It's my duty Miss, so no need to hesitate, Mr. Hida also advised if Miss wants something that is not in the boarding school, Miss can ask me and I will buy it later," great-grandson Erwin.
"No, thank you, I don't want anything right now, just send the same greeting Mas Huda, thank you for everything, thank you also for this beautiful gift box, tell him to be careful in a country of people and don't forget to come home soon," desy's message before he goes back into the sacred prison which is always filled by science as well as blessing and peace in it.
"I'll deliver Miss Desy's message, then excuse me first." Pamit Erwin stepped away from Desy who now also entered the pesantren.
'Mr Huda will definitely feel happy to hear the message from Miss, ahh really love is troublesome,' Erwin's inner self who actually often grumbles because Mr. Huda's current orders are so heavy, so much so, every morning and afternoon Erwin had to come to the boarding school to deliver food without being able to be represented, not Erwin did not want to but to come on time to the boarding school was not an easy thing, moreover, the location of Erwin's house is quite far as troublesome especially when Erwin has to meet in the morning, he will be very bothered when he has to send food first.
Not only that, during this time Erwin also got the task to record and make videos as he came to deliver food every morning and afternoon, he said, either how many or even hundreds of videos that have been sent by Erwin. Even so Erwin still tried to carry out the duties of Mr. Huda, although in fact this task is not part of his job.
"Master, I've given you the box you sent. And here's the video, there's a sweet message from Miss for Mr."
Erwin immediately sent a short message to Mr. Huda who was believed to make his Master smile happily because of it.
"Good, I'll send you a bonus later in the day."
A short message was also received by Erwin, a message that was no less happy for Erwin, an impromptu bonus that he often got when the Master was happy, he said, this is the reason Erwin remained faithful to work with Huda, although Huda often troubled him with the task that actually opened his duty.
