"Fa, let's go first huh..." Dinda.
Syifa who was lying on the bed only nodded weakly. At the moment, he is unable to attend school for a while. Be ill. That's why. Last night he had trouble sleeping because of the cold to shiver.
Tok tok...
"Assynogaic"
Everyone looks towards the door. "Greetings waalaikum"
I got into the room. "Neng Dinda, here's the porridge"
Dinda nodded by receiving a tray on which there was porridge. He had asked irah to make porridge for Syifa. "Thank you Bi..."
"Yes neng. Oi yeah, it's auntie's making hot tea."
"Yes, thank you again Bi"
"If so aunt goes first neng. Assalamualaikum"
"Waalaikum salam" answered the four.
Dinda put her porridge on the table she had prepared beforehand. Lina was preparing the medicine so that Syifa was easier to take.
"Fa, we're leaving first yeah"
Syifa nodded.
"Assynogaic"
"Greetings waalaikum"
•••••
Devan sat beside Aisyah. The girl was reading the book on her lap. "Assynogaic"
"Waalaikum salam" Aisyah replied with a look towards her in shock. "Sir Devan. Since when is it here?"
"New"
"Ooh"
"Lo's alone?"
Aisyah nodded. "Yes"
"Is breakfast not yet?"
"In the pesantren there is no breakfast schedule. It was just lunch and dinner" replied Aisyah.
"That means you haven't eaten yet?"
Aisyah fell silent with a shudder. He soon smiled. "But papa kok kak, Aisyah already bought bread. Later Aisyah ate" he said by showing the bread he bought.
Devan remained silent. "Where is that bread full?!"
Aisyah scratched her nape. "Emm, how about it, brother. Aisyah's money is just enough to buy that bread"
Devan sighed slowly. He knew that Aisyah's money was used to buy rice that Fariz gave her every day. "Well, let's go to the cafeteria with me"
"Aisha has no more money, sister"
"The gue. Come on..." Take Devan.
"Get it out, brother."
"Dad, if you get sick later. Come on!!" Devan stood up with his eyes constantly looking towards Aisyah. "Yes, if you don't want to, then I buy food to the cafeteria and I bring it here again"
"Eh don't.Nanti even added ngerepotin" Aisyah stood up. "Yes, it's ayok"
Devan smiles. The two walked towards the canteen. Since then Devan continued to invite Aisyah to talk, while Aisyah only answered soberly. He did not open his voice at all. Even when they were in the cafeteria. Devan seems to want to invite Aisyah to forget what she realized at the end of this.
•••••
You know devan, right? He is also now again Deket same Aisyah. Maybe he likes it. And, he can just take Aisyah from Lo!!
The words Iqbal a few days ago re-emerged in Fariz's mind as he saw Aisyah coming to the canteen with Devan. From his desk, he saw the two of them chatting with each other. Familiar. They look very close now.
"Udah is Riz, don't look at it like that" said Ghea who sat next to him. "Lho see for yourself right, Aisyah is really not. He's a boarding boy, should be able to keep your distance from the same guy. This is even a laugh like that. So cool!!"
"Lagian Lo already know that Aisyah never walk the same guy in the cafe, should start from that moment Lo dyed Aisyah,!" Ghea.
Fariz looked at Ghea. "Wait, you know that Aisyah has been with guys at the cafe?" Ask Fariz. Ghea instantly fell silent gulping her saliva.
"And, about kaila's kidnapping. Kok Lo can also know. I've never told you anything about Lo" Fariz added.
"Ooh, gini gini I'm clear. So, the time Lo sampe in Jakarta at that time. I, bokap same nyokap right to Lo's house. Well, keep bokap Lo it's a story that there was an incident when you were still at Lo's grandmother's house" explained Ghea.
"So papa told Lo everything??" Ask Fariz.
"Yes" answered Ghea. "Well that time too, I stamped Lo's cellphone pinjem. And I accidentally found a photo of Aisyah with another guy at the cafe"
Fariz sighed slowly. "Riz..." Call Ghea.
"Hm"
"Lo believes that Aisyah walks the same way as other guys?"
"Ga tau"
"But you asked Aisyah?"
"Udah"
"Keep he answer what?"
"He said he never walked with any guy. He was on the same road at the time"
"That means he lied dong!!"
"Maybe" Reply Fariz jutek.
"That's what he's lying about. Especially the problem with the hooka. Where does he want me. No matter how much Lo nanya, no matter how strong Lo makes her speak actually, Lo will never be able to Riz.." Ghea. "To this day, he's still doing this"
••••••
Aisyah opened the room door. Making himself, Lina and dinda entered the room in turn. "Assynogaic"
They stared at the sleeping Syifa. Lina put the fruit she had bought after school on the table. His eyes were fixed on the finished porridge bowl. Aisha was holding Syifa's forehead.
"Kok fever even higher huh??"
Lina and Dinda were immediately shocked. They touched Syifa's body. "Yes, Kok is getting higher" muttered Lina worriedly.
Tok tok...
"Assynogaic"
The three immediately turned their heads towards the door, staring at the ustadzah of Rina who walked inside. "Waalaikum greetings" answered them compactly.
One by one they shook the hands of the ustadzah. After that, Ustadzah Rina sat on the edge of Syifa's mattress. He held the girl's forehead. "So you've been taking medicine?"
"Udah Ustadzah" answered Dinda.
"Well on the compress?"
The three of them shook their heads.
"Yes, as soon as possible in the compress. Use warm water. Don't forget to tell your friend this to eat regularly, rest is quite the same taking medicine yes, let cepet heal"
"Yes, ustadzah"
"Tomorrow, if the fever has not come down say to ustadzah huh. Later, let your friends can be anterin ustadz Rizwan to the doctor" said Ustadzah Rina.
The three nodded back. Ustadzah Rina standing. "Yes already, ustadzah go first huh. Take care of your friend. Assalamualaikum"
"Waalaikum salam" answered the three by returning to the hands of Rina's ustadza.
•••••
Lina walked towards the canteen. He sighed slowly. Today, Aisyah also did not enter school because she had to take care of Syifa. From yesterday the fever has not gone down. While Dinda, he promised to follow her to the cafeteria earlier. Lina circulated the view to the entire canteen. Full and crowded. His eyes were fixed on the one who waved to him.
"LIN, HERE..." Call her.
Lina smiled and walked over. Just realized that there was Sasa sitting there as well.
"Here sits Lin..." Iqbal.
Lina silently looked at Sasa. "Have you been talking for a long time?"
"Lumayan" answered Iqbal. "Here sit, there's Sasa"
Lina shakes. "Ga. I must have disturbed you when I talked to you guys"
"Who said? No really. It's sitting here. Talk to us."
Lina shook her head again. "Eh ga deh. I want to find another seat. Assalamualaikum"
"Waalaikum salam" replied Sasa.
Iqbal frowned. "Waalaikum salam" he answered slowly.
Lina walked over sitting at an empty table that was a good distance away from them. He looked at his hands on the table. Sasa would like the same Iqbal, like emang I have to keep the same distance Iqbal. Let Sasa be able to do what he wants. Inner Lina. He took a long.
Why at the end of the day I changed. Like I used to be. The ones Iqbal met were always males. The one who met Iqbal always wanted to get angry...Why yes??
"Came..."
Lina looked ahead. Iqbal sat in his front seat, only the table was the limiter. "Lo why?" Ask Iqbal.
"Why what?" Ask Lina back.
"Lo why are you avoiding me?"
Lina immediately shook her head. "No, I'm not avoiding. I'm afraid I'm interrupting your time"
"You guys?"
"Lo equals Sasa" Reply Lina. "Lagian Lo why are you here? Talk to Sasa again."
"Lo ngusir?"
"Hm"
Iqbal. "But I don't want to go"
"Why? Ih bal, the time Sasa Lo lives is that anyway. Kasian she's"
"Certainly??"
"Yes, he's gone. Get away!!" Lina.
Iqbal stared silently at Lina. Making Lina lower her head. Something is different from him.
Iqbal sighed softly. "OK I'm going. But you don't pout. Okay?"
"Hm"
"Assalamualaikum" said Iqbal.
"Greetings waalaikum"
Iqbal stood up and started to step away. Lina looked at him. His right hand held his heart that was racing faster when he was stared at by Iqbal earlier. It was still there until Iqbal was gone. Lina touched his forehead.
"What pain am I? How did gini arrive?"
"Lo whose name is Lina?"
Lina surprised. He looked towards the woman standing beside the table. "Yes. What's up?"
"Lo was called Miss Mira"
"Oh, yes, thank you"
"The same" he answered and left.
•••••
"Yesterday I was waiting for you. But it didn't come. When to pay. Remember yes, camping is mandatory for the tenth grade. Except, there are obstacles following him" said Ms. Mira. "And your friend who yesterday has not paid. Camping will be carried out tomorrow, so mother begs for cooperation not to be delayed."
Lina sighed slowly. "Em temen I can't come for camping tomorrow. She's sick"
"Well then. Then you?"
Lina remained silent. "Sa-I, don't seem to be coming with you either."
"Look, my friend is sick. Someone has to take care. So later let me take care of him" explained Lina.
"Can't you take care of your other friends?" Ask Ms. Mira.
"Look, my other friend has already paid the camping fee. So they don't want to, they have to come tomorrow because they have paid. While I have not paid the cost even though camping will be in the title tomorrow. So, I better take care of my friend, ma'am..." Answer Lina. "Eem, do you know what I mean??" Lina asked fearing that her explanation was too convoluted.
Bu Mira was silent, then nodded. "Okay, then. The reason I can accept it"
Lina smiled sighing in relief. "Alhamdulillah. Then I say goodbye because everything has been sorted out, Mom. Assalamualaikum"
"Waalaikum greetings" replied Ms. Mira. "One more, if you can next year you and your friend are camping because this year can not come. Camping it, can add to your experience. Experience is the best teacher. Experience is the best teacher. So it's important" said Ms. Mira. Lina smiled with a nod.
•••••
"Assalamualaikum sir..." Said Dinda politely from behind the pesantren gate.
Mr. Dadang who was sitting in the post immediately stood up and walked. "Waalaikum salam neng. Wait a moment" he answered by opening the gate.
"Thank you sir"
"Same as neng"
Dinda and Lina who were still wearing the uniform immediately entered the pesantren with a slight bow when passing Dadang sir. People older than them.
"Lin, where were you? I'm looking for it in the cafeteria. Waiting also did not come" said Dinda continued to walk through the pesantren yard towards his room.
"Oh yes Din, I forgot. So, I was already in the cafeteria but called Mira. After that I went back to class. Forgot if Lo also want to go to the cafeteria earlier" explained lina. "I'm sorry, yeah.."
Dinda nodded. "Oh, yeah, I'm not papa"
When she arrived, Lina opened the door. He frowned when he saw that his two friends were not there. "Assalamualaikum" he said by entering the room. "Lhoh Din, where are they?"
Dinda who had just entered looked at Syifa's bed. "Maybe they went to see Dr. Lin"
"It could be anyway"
"Yes, that's it. Until we change clothes first, continue to run out of it spit lunch let it be part. After that, they might go home"
Lina nodded. "Yes" he answered by removing his bag and taking a shirt to change his uniform.
After they change clothes, quickly they take lunch. When they were done, they went back to their room. But Aisha and Syifa were not there either.
"No, they haven't come yet. It's been a long time..." Lina.
"Please Lin. Maybe there in line" Reply Dinda.
•••••
18.53
"SHIFA,,, AISHAH!!" Call Lina when she sees Aisyah feeding Syifa who is sitting in the hospital bed. Dinda and Lina entered the ward.
"Assalamualaikum" said the two.
"Waalaikum salam" replied Syifa and Aisha.
"Oh, I wasn't there this afternoon. It was in the hospital..." Lina said worriedly. "What pain should I be treated for??"
"Tipes lin's. Initially just want to check, but the doctor said must be treated first three to five daily." Reply Aisyah.
"Tipes can't be treated on their own. That means no need to stay in the hospital" Sahut dinda.
"Yes can be Din. That is if the symptoms are mild. But the doctor said his symptoms were worsening. The fever did not go down even higher, even though he had taken medicine. Syifa also had a dry cough earlier. Keep eating every meal is always mutable, so no energy comes in. Eat it directly at the doctor's appointment, and in the hospital first a few days..." Aisyah.
"Oh that. Eat it don't play rain. Tipes right" Timpal Lina.
Syifa glanced at Lina. "Don't mistake the rain!! I used to get sick as a kid. Maybe it's coming back again..." Syifa replied with a soft voice.
"Oi yeah, who are you guys here with?" Ask Aisyah.
"So in the same anter kang ridho" replied Dinda. Kang Ridho is a pesantren courtier. He also became one of Abah's confidants. "The same Abah" He continued.
"Where does Abah go, where doesn't he come in?"
"Assynogaic"
Their attention is distracted. "Well, that's Abah" said Dinda.
Aisha who sat down stood up. "Waalaikum salam" answered everyone.
Abah stopped beside Dinda. He looked at Syifa. "How are you doing, nduk?"
"Alhamdulillah, better Abah" replied Syifa politely.
Abah kyai smiled. "Have you eaten?"
"Already"
"Sholat?"
"Alhamdulillah, already..."
"If you are sick again, do not forget the same obligation. Many prayers. Don't forget to read the Quran too..."
Syifa nodded. "Jih bah's..."
"Oi yes, it seems like soon to want adzan isya'. I want to find Mushola here. You guys, also fast pray. Abah wait at the hospital mosque" Abah said. Fortunately, before leaving for the hospital, Abah had asked Ustadz Rizwan to pray Isya' in the pesantren.
"Njih bah" answered Dinda.
"Assalamualaikum" Abah said.
"Waalaikum salam" answered everyone.
Lina looked back at Syifa. "So, who's the same to here?" Ask Lina.
"Ustadz rizwan sama Bu nyai" replied Aisyah. Lina oh little.
"Lin, let's go to mushola first yuk" Invite Dinda.
Lina nodded.
"We went to mushola, all of them. Assalamualaikum"
"Waalaikum salam" answered Aisha.
"Waalaikum salam" replied Syifa.
Dinda and Lina walked away. "Daddy, Lo ga pray?" Ask Syifa quietly.
"Magically menstruation fa. Oi ya fa, you eat first, keep taking the medicine. Then I helped pray, yes,,,"
Syifa nodded. "Yes"
•••••
20.27
"Dad," Call Dinda. "We go home, Syifa let's take care of Lina. Camping tomorrow. So you should also rest"
Aisyah nodded. "Where's it?"
"That's outside waiting for us. After all, we have to prepare everything, right?!"
Aisha smiled and stood up. He looked at Syifa who was asleep then turned to Lina. "Lin, take care of Syifa. I'll go first."
"Yes" answered Lina
"Assalamualaikum" said Aisyah.
"Greetings waalaikum"
"Lin, I'm also saying goodbye. Assalamualaikum" said Dinda.
"Waalaikum salam. Take care of me..." Reply Lina.
"Yes"
•••••
Aisha sat in the bus seat. He looked at the empty side chair. If Syifa didn't hurt, maybe the chair wouldn't be empty. And he certainly didn't feel lonely. Ah, Syifa always liven up the atmosphere to be more crowded and cool. Aisyah turned her gaze towards the window. Maybe in a few minutes the bus will be running. Himself pensive.
"DARK!!"
He was shocked by looking. Ghea and Fariz, I don't know when they were here. "Surge Lo!!" Banish Ghea.
Aisyah furrowed her brows in confusion. "Kok diem. MOVE ON!!" Ghea's voice made everyone on the bus look at them.
"But mbak..."
"Ga there is but a tapian. All the buses were full, only the empty seats. So Lo move aside! Move to the back!!"
Aisyah immediately looked over. Looking at the back seat filled by a group of male classmates. "LO DENGER, YES!! IF I SAY MOVE, MOVE!! GO!" His impact.
"Eh yes" Aisyah stood up with her bag. He started walking towards the back. "Here here Shah, sit beside me" greeted Tio by patting the seat beside him.
Aisyah smiled. "Thank you"
"It's so soft. It's the same" Reply.
Aisha immediately occupied the chair. Right left, all men. How could he be comfortable with this trip. In addition to no one to talk to, he also has to keep his distance from them.
"Eh Shah, you're the same Fariz broke up, huh??"
"Eh..." Aisyah turned her head towards Tio. "What?"
"Yes.... You broke up with Fariz. I rarely see you guys get along. Now Fariz is more often the same girl" he continued by pointing at Ghea with her eyeballs.
Aisyah shakes. "I'm the same Fariz sister and I'm dating"
"Really?? Ah Masa??"
"Dad, how do you want to be kicked out with that girl?" This time it was good to ask.
"Yes. Shoulda fought. Don't be so weak..." Add Tio.
Not himself weak, but if in the opponent it will create a commotion. And Aisyah was by no means that kind of person. After all he also had to respect Ghea who was older than him. He just gave up, but that doesn't mean he lost. And losing is not necessarily weak either.
"Oh I know, you're not Deket now the same other guy huh? Eating now is rarely the same as Fariz."
Aisyah looked back. The look on his face asked who Tio meant. "That, the twelfth grade. Who yeah??"
Aisyah sighed softly. He knew that Tio was probably Devan.
"Who was that girl? Before Deket same Lo, I also have often seen him with Fariz" said Tio again. "Judes was him, from his face was seen"
"Hssst, diem Lo. If that sounds bad!," That's good.
"Well, where is Lo Syifa?" Good ask. "Ah, if he comes in I want to talk with him. He is the cool guy. I brought a guitar.." Continue by stroking his little guitar.
"Yes. He said it was mandatory camping. But why isn't he coming?" Ask Tio.
Aisyah simply fell silent ignoring their questions that were casually uttered. His eyes focused only on the chair Fariz and Ghea were sitting in. They were both too busy. To ignore the gazes of people looking towards them and Aisyah alternately.
