Love Children Pesantren

Gathering Relationships

Same night as yesterday. A gust of cold wind swung softly, greeting the skin that was standing daydreaming. Hijab behind him swung swaying in the wind. Cold temperatures began to creep along his body. He stared at the full moon which had two beautiful rays. The thing that makes him want to tell all the wishes of the creation of God who is now millions of kilometers from himself stands today.

The night was so silent, it was probably only him standing outside at this moment. The silence of the night made him silent. Staring at the trees, sky, moon, stars, grass, and other creatures. They must be busy now thinking of their creators. Likewise with himself, from earlier he was only pensive but with his mouth that was not stopping to say prayer beads.

Dinda looked up at the beautiful sky tonight. Among them he saw the largest and most luminous star. Imagine how life is in space? Imagine how life is in heaven? Indeed, what are the angels of heaven doing right now? Are both of her biological parents currently doing well?

"O Allah, if only You would. Find your servant with them..."

When the night is silent sunyinya. There was a holy verse of the Quran. Dinda stared directly at the mosque dome which was visible from outside her room. Who teaches at a time like this? Usually there is no. Dinda turned around and went into the room. He took the pre-prepared face. He immediately rushed to the pesantren mosque, took ablution, wore mukena and performed tahajud prayers. While the reading continues to melodious.

After six rakaats have been carried out. Now the prayer that he took and his mouth again said dhikr. Coinciding with the completion of dhikr, the recitation of the holy verse of the Quran changed the Surah to Ar Rahman. Dinda had a quick peek ahead. He saw the man sitting cross-legged behind him. But he immediately sat back in his original place. Raising both his hands, began to foresee his prayer. Pray for the good of all, pray for ease and forgiveness of sins, pray always in the Ridho and Mercy of God at every step. At the end of the prayer, Dinda remembered someone. He continued to pray, praying for someone, as well as himself. Surah Ar Rahman's reading continues to clash with his prayer. Collected in a sacred place. The cold air and the gusts of wind were getting louder. Dinda felt it behind her face. I don't know what's going on in the sky. Water started to sound in his ears. Samar, slowly until it really went down with a rush. After all this time, it finally rained again. Dinda closed her prayer.

"Allahhumma shoyyiban naafi'aan" muttered Dinda softly.

اللَّهُمَّصَيِّباًنَافِعاً

Means: O Allah, send down to us a fruitful rain.

Lina. Standing silently staring at the street that is visible from the top of the pesantren attic. Lina lowered her head with her eyes tightly closed. Duh Lin, Lo why the hell? if you like the same Iqbal. Don't mind like this!! His inner.

Lina turned her head to the side as splashes of water hit her face and body. "Thinking about the burden of life, Lin?" Ask Syifa who is drying clothes. "What is the burden of Lo's life? I see how dizzy he thinks"

Lina took the rest of the clothes that were still in the bucket, then dried them one by one. "Fa..." Call Lina.

"Yes?"

"According to Lo, did I change?"

Syifa stopped her work. He held onto Lina's two shoulders and pointed towards her until they faced each other. Syifa squinted her eyes. Watching Lina closely. "The eyes are two. One nose, the hole is still there. Lo's lips are fixed, nothing has changed. His eyebrows are still black and have not turned white. Lo eyeballs, Thank God the color is still brown. It's not turning blue." Syifa Gumam. He took Lina's hand. "Lo's hands are still healthy. There are ten fingers, and there are even nails. Nih Lo's feet also did not change shape and number. Still two. So safe. Nothing has changed"

Lina squeaks small. "That's not what I mean!!"

"Keep what dong?"

"I'm afraid my attitude has changed?"

"Ga. Still a little rough"

Lina exhaled a rough breath. "OK" Reply jutek by lifting the bucket and bringing it down from the attic.

Syifa looked at Lina. "I was wrong, right? Naw, right? Then why is Jutek on Lina's face?" Ask who.

Syifa was drying her last clothes. After everything was done, he turned around and walked down, passing Aisyah and Dinda who were walking up.

"Aisha Dinda" Sapa Syifa with a sweet smile.

"Syifa" Reply Aisyah. The three of them threw one another a fleeting smile then walked in different directions.

Aisyah and Dinda walked to find an empty place to hang their clothes. The weather today was not as hot as yesterday. Maybe because it was raining. I can say the weather is right today. Not hot nor cloudy let alone rain, not sultry, nor cold. "Din, I think it was just right before dawn, is there anything to pay, huh?" Ask Aisyah.

"Yes"

"Who. Kok tumben there are naji people. Usually there is no"

"Ga knows who Shah is. But Abah said from now on about twenty or fifteen minutes before dawn there should be a salary. Let the atmosphere be more alive. If it is a najai person, it will also be calmer right Shah" explained Dinda.

Aisyah nodded. "Yes..."

Aisyah was silent for a long time looking at Dinda. "Em Din's"

"Yes?"

"If again there is a misunderstanding between you as someone who makes the person angry, but you do not know the source of the problem because what. What are you going to do?" Ask Aisyah. Maybe asking for Dinda's opinion is the right thing.

"They'll definitely apologize. Although we are not wrong, but apologizing can affect the good of the relationship. The important thing is not to let the brotherly relationship is cracked no matter how. Ukhuwah Islamiyyah must be kept"

Aisyah mangosteen mangosteen. "Emm ukhuwah Islamiyyah. Thanks for the advice Din"

"Yes together"

Ukhuwah Islamiyyah must remain in custody. That meant.... Aisyah. To allow his mind to think. That means I have to fix my relationship with Fariz. If it has improved, maybe I just asked what the problem is and explained the truth. Yes, maybe that's it. Connectin.

••••••

Aisyah looked at the plastic bag containing the rice wrap inside. Perhaps this was all he could give, because his allowance was also limited not to as many as the other disciples. It is not much but maybe this can re-attach their relationship slowly. Because there is no breakfast schedule at the boarding school, so maybe this can hamper Fariz's hunger.

Aisyah stepped away to Yuni's food stall, because Fariz often hung out there with her friends when the break arrived. "Assalamualaikum" said Aisyah by standing next to those who were sitting in the canteen chair.

"Greetings" answered the three of them. Fariz, Iqbal and Ilham.

Iqbal immediately smelled a smile. "Eh Shah. What's up here? Tumbens"

"Emmm..." Aisyah glanced at Fariz who was eating regardless of her arrival. "Sister, Aisyah brought rice" he said by offering his rice packet doubt to Fariz.

Fariz stared silently at what Aisyah was thrusting. He took it and made the girl smile. But it only lasted a moment. Fariz gave the rice to Iqbal.

"Eat bal" he told me.

"My shell? Lo's loved ones" Reply Iqbal was upset that Fariz did not appreciate Aisyah's gift at all, and he did so right in front of the girl.

"Lo don't want to?" Tanya Fariz coldly. "Yes" he said, standing up and turning around.

"Jit...!!" Call her.

The person who felt his name on the call immediately walked over. "What?"

"Take it!!"

Ojit immediately smiled happily. "Is this really for me, Riz?"

Fariz muttered with a nod. "Wuih Baek really Lo. Thanks yeah"

"Yes"

"Gue go first"

"Hm"

Ojit immediately walked away with his heart very happy to get free packaged rice today.

Fariz sat back in his place. Sipping warm noodle soup through his spoon. While Aisyah looked at Fariz confused and sad. Confused by his change of attitude and sad that he would not accept his rice. Fariz raised his head, looking at Aisyah who was still standing.

"Lo still have business with me?"

Aisyah shakes.

"He's gone" he kicked it out.

"Yes.iya brother" replied Aisha slowly. "Aisha go first. Assalamualaikum"

"Greetings" answered the three of them.

After Aisyah really went away Iqbal immediately pinched Fariz's arm hard. "Hhss what the hell is bal?" Fariz asked annoyed.

"Lo why the hell? Pricein little cake. Even in love with people. Bener Lo Riz" Omel Iqbal.

"Lo, I didn't want to. I gave it to Ojit. Wrong?"

"Yes clearly wrong. You should eat the cake, let Aisyah feel appreciated"

"Lo don't see I've eaten. It's over, it's full. Still mending I love Ojit than I throw away." Answer Fariz.

Iqbal shook his head. "Thank you..." Gerrutu Iqbal.

"Riz, there's no harm in Lo respecting people" Timpal Ilham said.

"BENER TUH!!" Sahut Iqbal.

"Lo know how sick it is at that price?" Ask Inspiration.

"Or ham. I know damn well. I think it's really sakiiit. Suckin' nysek!!" Iqbal.

"If you don't ask, it's bal. There's time for me to ask Lo. Now I ask Fariz, so let him answer." Ilham.

"Heemh, yes, I kept the wrong one" Iqbal murmured softly.

•••••

Aisha sat down to join Syifa and Lina. "Assalamualaikum" Greetings.

"Waalaikum salam" answered both.

"Where the hell is Shah?" Ask Syifa.

"Bi Yuni's canteen"

"What do you want there?"

Aisyah shakes. "It's nothing"

"Where's mind? I'm not here" asked Aisyah.

"Dinda's in her class. He said he did not want to go to the cafeteria again, he was fasting today" replied Lina.

Aisyah mangosteen mangosteen. I knew what the girl was doing. He should have fasted today too, but was prevented by the red guest who came. "Sasa? Not here either?"

"Not seen me from before"

"Yes I'm the same." Typhoon Syifa. "When do you pay for camping?"

"Daddy, ain't that food?" Ask Lina.

Aisyah shakes.

"Emang Lo ga laper from this morning has not eaten" Syifa said.

"Yet, it will only be during the second break" he replied. Aisyah took out a piece of paper in her uniform pocket. On it are written some formulas. Instead of just being silent daydreaming or silent to see his two friends eat, better learn this formula. That would be more useful, wouldn't it?

"SAID...!!"

The three immediately looked in shock. "Assalamualaikum" Sasa said.

"Greetings waalaikum"

With a smile that could not be hidden, Sasa immediately sat down beside Aisyah and tightly hugged the girl. It is the center of attention of Lina and Syifa.

Aisyah held and gently stroked the arm of Sasa who was holding her from the side. Sasa let go of his embrace. "What good news is there? How happy"

"Lo tau ga Syah, Carin was already starting to talk to me" Sasa's story.

"Oi yeah?"

Sasa nodded.

"O Allah, I'm really happy. That's when we started the story. Even though Rara is still embarrassed to make Deket and talk to me. But at least there has been a change in Carin" continued Sasa. "So that's Carin asking for my news, my situation now. I think I've done a lot of fun. Finally, I can talk to them. Hopefully after this my friendship will be back again like first"

"Aamiinu. I hope so..." Reply Aisyah who is also happy for the happiness that Sasa emits.

"Dad..."

"Hm"

"Let's be my best friend too"

Syifa and Lina's faces instantly changed. "Just like Rara and Carin should know that Lo is a good person. They will also definitely feel at home as good as people Lo. Yeah..?!"

"I also told you about Lo..." Further again.

"News about me?"

"He'em"

"What aja?" Ask Aisha again.

Sasa started telling me everything. So happy, he forgot about Syifa and Lina who were still there. Sit down at a table with them. "Came..." Call Syifa.

"Hm?"

"Gue's scared"

"Why?" Ask Lina.

"If Aisyah really be his best friend Sasa and ninggalin us how?"

Lina pinched Syifa's hand. "www...What the hell?"

"Don't say that. Aisha is our best friend. Until anytime" Reply Lina by pressing the word he said.

"Look at that, they're Deket Lin..." Syifa glanced at the two of them who were busy chatting. With Sasa who sometimes laughed and Aisyah who returned a smile in response.

•••••

The next day....

Fariz looked back at a pack of rice as he came to his desk. He turned his gaze to look at the first-come Inspiration. "Ham, who is this from?"

Ilham. "Dad"

Fariz sighed softly by taking and putting the rice away to Iqbal's table. Only then did he sit in a chair. "Ga Lo eat?" Ask Inspiration.

"Ga Laper" Cetus Fariz.

"Simpen. You can take a break later"

"Gue can buy it for himself"

Inspiration could only shake his head to hear Fariz's stern answer. "Riz, Lo should be grateful that there are still people who care about you sampe in the morning rice like gini"

••••••

Hours of rest, everyone goes out of class to busy themselves either by playing, chatting or eating. Same with XII MIPA 2. Only a few people remained in it.

"Sister..."

Reyhan raises his head. "Assalamualaikum" said Aisyah.

"Greetings waalaikum" replied Reyhan with his flat face.

"Sister, this is done already tangjain" Aisyah thrust two sheets of exercise paper that made one.

Reyhan took it and looked to research it. Suddenly, they became the center of attention of women in the class. There must be some who are jealous because Aisyah can be close to Reyhan, or even some who are prejudiced not not about him. Reyhan immediately gave an explanation on the wrong question. It's natural to be wrong. Even according to Reyhan Aisyah can be said to be great. He was still in tenth grade, and was doing the eleventh grade Olympic rehearsal. Where the Olympics are more difficult than the usual lessons. And the great thing is, he worked on and learned everything in just one week.

While from the other side, Syifa who found information that Reyhan was in the classroom immediately walked with enthusiasm to the place he was headed. When she was at the door, Syifa stopped her steps. Seeing Aisyah and Reyhan who were both doing nothing. It looks Aisyah slightly leaning her body, looking seriously at the paper in the middle of them. Reyhan explained with his busy hand scribbling ink onto his paper.

Syifa continued to observe them. Until his eyes caught Reyhan staring long ago right at the bead of Aisyah's eyes. As for the girl he looked at, he seemed to be unaware of it. Maybe because he is serious. Even Reyhan never looked at her like that. And that leaves jealousy in him.

Aisyah nodded her head after she really understood. "Thank you, brother"

"Yes" Reyhan replied briefly. "If you want to tell me again"

"Yes. Yes, Ayesha pamit sis." He said by taking the paper back. "Assynogaic"

"Greetings waalaikum"

Aisyah walked straight to the door. At first he did not realize that there was Syifa there because his eyes were still fixed on the question sheet. But when he was really close to the door, only Syifa's gaze saw him.

"Shyifa..." Call Aisyah but the girl leaves instead. Don't let Syifa even think that is not not about him and reyhan. Quickly Aisyah immediately walked after Syifa.

"Fa..." Call Aisyah when their steps are aligned.

Syifa just muttered. Not responding to anything. "Fa, who were you in 12th grade to see?"

"Sir Reyhan"

"Aren't you?"

"No! Afraid to disturb Lo with Reyhan" He said.

"Fa....are you angry??"

"No"

"Fa, I didn't do anything. So don't be mad about it..." Aisyah.

"Gue ain't mad. Just jealous of doang. Yesterday I had to look at the guy I like Deket with another girl"

Aisyah immediately sighed softly. Guilt began to take hold of him. "Sorry yes fa. There is no intention to make you jealous like that" Reply Aisyah wants to ask for understanding from her best friend.

Syifa stopped her steps. Reversing body 90° staring Aisyah. "Gue is jealous. But I'm more jealous if my best friend is more Deket with someone else. It's cool to laugh, talk, story with others" Syifa said honestly.

"You ever get jealous of me?" Ask Aisyah who immediately caught what Syifa was talking about.

Syifa nodded with her step back. Followed by Aisyah. "When?" Ask Aisyah.

"Just yesterday"

"Yesterday?" Mumbled Aisyah quietly with thought. "Why for what?"

"Yes because Lo is more Deket with each other"

"Emm..."

"Why did you meet Reyhan?" Ask Syifa.

"Here, I'll ask you about the Olympics. Keep saying brother Reyhan if it's finished playing, told to meet him directly. It seems to be in check the answer. This was just in the way you know how to work properly and more confident" explained Aisyah.

"Oh pantesan last night you focus on staying up late at night. There is no duty" Syifa said.

"Yes"

Syifa was silent for a long time. Wait wait,,, well I can also make it a way to make Deket same brother Reyhan. Inner Syifa. He immediately smiled widely.

"Thank you for the idea of Shah"

Aisha scrunched her forehead. "The idea? What idea?"

"The idea. Anyway thanks yeah"

"But I didn't give you an idea at all" Aisyah replied confusedly.

"Say, just say yes..."

"Oh" Aisyah was stunned for a moment. He nodded his head slowly. "ii-iiy"

"Well that's it..." Syifa said gladly.
