Love as Beautiful Dusk In Pesantren Season 2

Arum's departure to Pesantren

"Ishhh Brother is cruel," grumbled Husein standing leaving Hasan alone.

"Basar Adek sengklek," murmured Hasan back to read the book that had been held since.

'But why do so many like him? though I was no less equal to him' Hasan's inner gaze toward the pile of envelopes that were in front of him.

"Astaghfirullah, I said what the hell." Hasan turned his attention to open the book he had been holding.

The day had passed Arum wriggled softly to feel the cold that felt different this morning.

"Why is it so cold?" muttered Arum raised the blanket up to the shoulder looking for warmth amid the coldness he was feeling.

"Arum, wake up son!" the voice of Mother Arum sounded soft.

'Tumben Mommy doesn't scream?' arum inner when he heard the soft voice of his mother.

Czechs ....

The sound of the door opening. Seen Bunda Arum enter with a glass of ginger wedang on the tray he carried.

"Arum wake up, son!" said Bunda Arum, put a glass of ginger wedang on the nightstand.

"Mother, cold ..." whining Arum tighter the blanket.

"If you don't wake up and stay asleep like this, it's gonna get colder, baby." Mother Arum gently rubbed Arum's head.

"Five minutes more Mother, tomorrow I can't enjoy this bed and my favorite room." Arum looks for reasons so that he can still sleep without being disturbed.

"Alright, son, after this go straight down. Mother has prepared breakfast for you." Mother Arum's message before leaving leaves Arum who is getting tighter covering her body with a blanket.

"Oh yeah, don't forget to drink the ginger! let your body feel warm." Mother Arum stopped her steps while on the doorstep turned her head back towards Arum, saying that she should drink her homemade wedang.

Surely five minutes passed slowly Arum forced himself to wake up and immediately drank the ginger that was still warm.

Glek .. glek .. glek ....

Arum actually drank it up to the toilet, leaning on the edge of the mattress looking around and just kept on going while breathing in as much air as possible and letting out slowly. Arum was imagining that from tomorrow he would sleep and live somewhere else, a place he never knew before.

Arum was probably there when he was a kid, but that was decades ago.

"Why do I doubt I'm leaving? am I really able to be a santri as you expect?" muttered Arum stared at the ceiling of the room.

During this time Arum only understood the basis of the religion of Islam, prayer, zakat, fasting, Hajj and reading the Qur'an. In addition, Arum is still awwam in addition to the busyness of the school environment also affects him, so far Arum feels difficulty learning all about Islam.

It's true the times are sophisticated, there are many lectures that are on the app but Arum is the type of person who would believe if there was no evidence. Suppose the evidence is written in the book.

"I'm Arum, so I can!" Arum encouraged and convinced himself who was weak and hesitant.

Arum began to stand up and went out of the most comfortable room to approach the mother who was cooking.

"What's the mama cooking?" ask Arum.

"This is again cooking your favorite food," replied Mother Arum.

Orek tempe is Arum's favorite food, in a country that is currently in place of a fairly expensive tempe, but the mother often cooks the menu for him.

"Honey, if in Indonesia later there is no masakin orek tempe Bunda will send food there." Mother does look fine on the outside, but I'm sure she's covering up her feelings of sadness.

"Patient mother, Arum went to seek knowledge, realized what Mother had hoped for all this time." Arum hugged the Mother, and finally broke his second cry.

Since childhood Arum never parted with his mother, they were always together. For Arum the mother is not only a mother but also a friend who is always there when she is down or happy.

Finally this breakfast event was colored with tears, while Dad did not come to breakfast with us because today there was a morning meeting.

The time of departure arrived, slowly Arum pulled a suitcase that was filled with his needs later in the boarding school.walking down the stairs, because Arum's room was located on the second floor.

"Are you ready, baby?" ask Mother who is waiting for Arum in the living room.

"Had Mother," said Arum.

"Darling, remember to take care of yourself and call Dad immediately if anything happens!" Arum's father approached and hugged his beloved daughter.

"Yes Dad, take it easy Arum will always be fine because your do'a and blessing are always with me." Arum.

Arum set out between his parents, riding in a car with his own father who was driving.

"Be careful there, son!" said Bunda hugged tightly and kissed the head of Arum which is currently covered with a veil.

"Mother I want to go to seek knowledge not war, so please Mother do not make this departure feel heavy." Arum who felt his mother's excessive attitude immediately reminded, before he was swept away and undoed his intention to depart.

"Sorry Son, Mommy is just carried away," said Mommy took off her embrace.

"Be careful there Honey, Daddy and Mommy will try to go home as often as possible to pick you up!" Arum's father hugs and kisses Arum's head briefly.

"Mother's father, Arum pamit." Arum walked towards the canrena departure hall of the plane on the other side of the plane to take off soon.

Tonight Husein stayed at his Uncle's house to let go of the longing that had been mountainous.

"Assalamualaikum Uncle," said Husein standing at the door.

"Waalaikum greetings," greeted Aunt Imah, opened the door and smiled at Husein's arrival.

"Husein, come in, son!" tell Auntie Imah.

"Where is Bi?" ask Hussein.

"Well isn't he in Husein's boarding school?" I was shocked to hear Husein's question.

"Ohh in the pesantren," Husein who heard the question of Imah instead looks relaxed while begging his head, but in the question Imah terbesit worry.

"Indeed you didn't see or know that Ana was at the boarding school." Said Auntie Imah.

"No Bi, I was at the restaurant all day and went straight here. I miss Uncle and Aunt." Husein.

Since childhood Hussein is often entrusted or cared for by his Uncle and Aunt who are none other than Arif and Imah. Caring for twins is not as easy as imagined, Husein who since childhood never fussed if invited by other families makes all families prefer to bring Husein in comparison with Hasan, who has never fussed, because Hasan who never wanted to escape from Uqi his mother.
