The night really arrived. Some students spend their time in tents, no matter what. And some others, are burning corn. Earlier, Ms. Mira came by bringing raw corn to burn. Surely if the night is like this, with cold air is better when enjoyed.
In the tent, Umpil was applying a white mask that he brought from home. "Do you want a mascerine too?" But Aisyah refused. He is very anti with things related to beauty. Maybe he just used a face wash to clean his face. Besides, he's not wearing anything. Even if it's powder.
Aisyah came out of the tent with Fariz's shoes in her hands. He spreads his view. Seeing Fariz sitting burning corn with his friend. Of course beside him sat a Ghea. Aisha stepped towards them.
"Assynogaic"
They're looking. "Waalaikum greetings" answered them compactly. Aisyah gave a smile, while Ghea rolled her eyes lazily.
"Sister, here's her shoe" Aisyah propped the shoe with both hands. "Thank you yes"
Fariz took it with his still cold attitude towards Aisyah. "Eh deck, would you like to join us? Yuk...!" Take Ayu's sister.
Aisyah glanced at Fariz, then turned to Ghea who was staring at Aisyah dislikefully. Aisyah looked back at kak ayu. "Thank you brother before. But sorry Aisyah can't. Aisyah wants to go back to the tent. Assalamualaikum"
"Waalaikum salam" answered everyone.
Aisyah turned around, walking away from them. "Riz, why are Lo's shoes on him?" Ask Ghea doesn't like it.
"So Aisyah's sandals. I'm eating my shoes." Answer Fariz
"Let's just why. It cares so much Lo. Does Aisyah care what you do?? Do not forget the same what Aisyah did to Lo Riz"
Fariz sighed slowly. "Gue's here to take care of the underclassmen. Not to discuss personal matters" Reply Fariz made Ghea exhale rough. I don't like it when Fariz is still paying attention to that girl.
Aisyah kept walking. "Dad..." Suddenly he stopped his steps when Devan was suddenly in front of him.
"You want to burn me?" Ask Devan.
Aisyah shakes.
"Relatedly? This is delicious its corn. Tell me, how long have you been eating grilled corn?"
Aisyah. Lastly, he ate grilled corn when? It's been a long time, before he got into the pesantren maybe.
Aisyah nodded not knowing. "It's old, right?" Ask Devan.
"Yes my brother"
"Yes, eat it. If there is an opportunity, do not be in vain. Before the corn runs out Ihoh at the same meal temen temen Lo"
"Dad..."
Aisyah. He was shocked and so was Devan. Umpil came in with his face wearing a white mask. Not to mention he also used a white blanket as his head covering. "O Allah is umpiil..." Aisyah said in shock.
"Daddy, you got water??" Tanya Umpil who was reluctant to open his mouth wide for fear of the mask cracking.
"In the tent there was water. But mineral water"
"Oh. Okay.." - Okay..." Umpil turned his body 90 degrees. Go back to the tent. But the shrieking sound of frightened people distracted their attention. The three girls from the other class ran scared. Making several pairs of eyes look at him confused. "Well, is there this afa?" Umpil asked. Without thinking, Umpil immediately ran up to them. Likewise with Aisyah and Devan who came running was curious. The few people who saw Umpil instantly showed an expression between shock and fear.
"Weh Weh, is there an affa?" Umpil asked a girl who ran. But instead of answering, he even more screaming in fear to see the face of Umpil. By shouting the name of the devil, and immediately pushed hard Umpil to fall.
"HADOOOHH..." Pekik Umpil is in pain.
Aisyah sighed softly. "Of Umpil, they were afraid that you might come. More afraid" he murmured.
Umpil touched his face. "Haduuuh, my mask is cracked..." Sad whining.
Aisha extended a hand. "Here I help you stand"
Umpil grabbed Aisyah's hand. He stood up holding his waist. "Haduhh,, my ass Shah. Sakiiit!!"
"Empil, wash your mask first. Nakut nakutin people" Reply Aisyah.
"I want to wash this too"
"Yaelaaah, camping is still perfect mascara" said one of the men.
"Ape Lo??" Ask Umpil nyolot.
"Udah Umpil, I take water first" said Aisyah by walking to her tent. While Devan walked closer to the three younger siblings of his class who had been scared.
"What's up?" Ask her.
"Oh brother, it was in our tent there was a snake." Answer one of them.
"Snake??"
"Yes..."
"What's Van?" Ask Reza who came.
"There was a snake in their sign. Please Lo check. Make sure everything is good..."
"Which are you guys?" Ask Reza to the three girls.
"That's my brother, that's next door"
Reza looked at the tent pointed at the woman. He nodded then walked towards the tent.
"Where's mind? Why don't you run?" Ask a woman about her friend.
"Well, how dare he not go. I was horrified to see the snake."
Devan looked at the two of them, then turned to one of the girls who was covering his face. "Udah you don't have to worry. What matters is Lo ga papa, right?!" Devan.
"There's a ghost, brother, takuut..." Said shivering.
"Ga there's a thing called a ghost. Look at it yourself"
The girl put away the hand that had been covering her face. Devan glanced at Umpil who was washing his face in aid of Aisyah. "That's right. That man..." Say again.
"But brother, that one was very white. Where's his face like it's cracked. He also glared. Anyway serem" Hearing that answer Devan could only shake his head.
"Udah don't be afraid. I'll go first"
"Yes my brother"
Devan stepped away. He stopped his steps when he got in front of Umpil. "Other times don't try mascara again. Kasian temen Lo is scared"
"Well, brother, it's mandatory to know. I have to keep the mascara. Let the face kinclong" replied Umpil relaxed.
"Sir, why were they so scared?" Ask Aisyah who was standing next to Umpil.
"There's a snake in his tent" Devan answered and walked away after Reza. Aisyah narrowed her eyes when she saw Devan stopping in front of one of the tents. "That's Dinda's tent if it's not wrong." Mumbled.
Aisyah spread her gaze. He immediately ran towards the tent when the girl he was carrying was not outside. Just as he arrived, Dinda came out of the tent still wearing her face.
"Din...." Call Aisyah.
"Dad?"
"Aren't you papa?"
"No, no"
"Alhamdulillah if that is so. In your tent there was a snake?"
Dinda nodded. "So passing in the prayer mat I fit again prayer"
Aisyah gaping. "Oi yeah? How then?"
"Where's what. Yes, I continued praying, the snake continued on the road"
"A scared of Din?"
"If you say there is fear. Shocked too. But yes how, it's not possible that I also have to cancel the prayer continue to follow the run"
Aisyah. He saw some men who started to come and follow him to catch the snake. "No, there can be snakes. This is the forest in the care"
Dinda smiled. "Yes could. In the house that is always inhabited, in clean, in the care of sometimes there are snakes. Especially in the woods like gini."
"Malaysia...." Sasa stopped in front of them with a faint breath. "Lo ga papa?"
"Thank God, not papa"
Sasa stared at Dinda. "Once the prayer?"
Dinda nodded.
"Aren't you scared? If I were to run first. What's the bite?" Sasa.
Dinda smiled softly. "Then, people if prayer is solemn'nya Masya Allah. They can actually feel how enjoyable the prayer is, how Deket is just as God. Some even though he was in a precarious state, he continued to pray. Don't care about dying, or getting hurt. Some even got a sword, but they continued their prayers. Resisting the pain. Different from people now"
"Sholat is only made a condition. If you already pray yes already, no matter what prayer is really not, no matter what prayer will be received. What is important is that worship. Think gini, yes it is praying than not. People today do not understand what prayer really means. The man now prays for God, but not with his heart and mind. I know very well that people now pray hard to put all their heart and mind into God. Sometimes they still think of the world, but he again performs worship for his afterlife. They have not been able to really feel how delicious the prayer is" continued Dinda.
"So, I'm trying to get people to pray first. Prayer is for God, not just a condition. Just a snake passing by, do I also have to run. It is that which gives salvation that I am worshipping right now. So, whatever the circumstances should try to stay solemn and calm. It has not been comparable to the circumstances of the ancients or the state of the Palestinians today. Lucky we worship it is calm, can choose anywhere. In the mosque, in the mosque or at home. So, it should be benefited as well as possible. Because it's a thing that must be true, we must be grateful."
Aisyah and Sasa just fell silent listening. Dinda tidied up Sasa's veil. "Sa, if you wear a veil, you have to cover your chest." Gently Dinda.
Sasa. "Should ya?"
Dinda nodded.
"Raw" He answered. "Don't make the hijab a style. If you want to hijab, in straight first the intention. To nutupin aurat." Dinda gave a long sigh. "Because a lot of the time I see people wearing hijab but in the lilitin on the neck. Auratnya. Adalagi the Abaghfirullah,,, he wears tight pants, wear a necklace, and joget on social media. People who dress thin and tight are just as dressed but naked. And such a person cannot smell heaven. But unfortunately people today are more concerned with looking beautiful in human eyes than looking beautiful in the eyes of God. Nauzubillah..."
"But the cave did not know that it turned out that the chest was aurat Din. How's it? Yes sins?" Ask Sasa.
"If you do not know In Shaa Allah is not papa"
"WEH WEH'S....I GOT THE SNAKE CUY!! HUHUU.." Screaming of a man.
Aisyah turned her head with a shocked glare. He ran away because of fear.
"Here, try me to hold" said one of them.
"Ah, later replace me.fit this if invited Poto" Sahut others.
Aisyah could only see between horror and wonder. Horrified to see a snake with a size large enough. "They are even senengen yes hold the snake" muttered Aisyah astonished.
"Dad, have you met the snake?" Ask Umpil who arrived.
"Yes"
"Wuih..gede too," he said in awe. "Ikutan megang ah..."
Aisyah directly held onto Umpil's wrist. "Don't Umpil"
"Huh why?"
"Danger..."
"Eh uh, uh, you guys. Don't make such toys. Cepet get in here!!" Order brother Reza by thrusting sack.
"But uh brother, don't you take a selfie first this snake"
"That's dangerous!! mrs in!!"
The man sighed slowly. Inevitably he had to put his snake in the sack held by brother Reza. "Sister, my gini is single. Who is the snake I took a selfie with? Girls don't have it either" he said slowly.
Reza's brother is shaking his head. "Totally Genes Lo. Patience patience. I advise you before ngarep gets a girl, take care of it first face."
•••••
Aisyah opened her eyes. He looked up. His eyes were hard to close. "Aduuuhh, I can't sleep..."
Aisha sat herself down. He looked at Kania, Umpil and Sasa who were already sound asleep.
Before long, he was surprised when a small stone was thrown from the outside until it hit his tent. And that sounds up to three times. Who's this night who threw rocks at his tent?
Aisha opened the tent. He leaned his head outwards. "Dear..." Call Ghea by walking closer to her. "Luckily you're awake"
Aisyah frowned confusedly. "Mbak Ghea's. What's up?"
"Dad please anterin me to the toilet huh. Plisss, this big kebelet"
Aisyah. "Pliss Shah yes. Everything's gone to sleep" continued Ghea.
Actually some questions arise in the mind of Aisha? Why must she be so much that Ghea struggled to wake her up by throwing stones at her tent? Why not ayu sister who has a tent? But whatever it was, Aisyah tried to think positively of Ghea.
Aisyah smiled. "Yes" He quickly put on his shoes and stood up.
"Thank you, Shah"
Aisyah nodded. "Yes, same thing"
"Yes, we are on the road. I'm very much kebelet"
Ghea quickly followed with Aisyah. Slowly, they began to move away from the camping site. Aisyah turned her head to the right and left with a slightly bewildered face.
"Mr..."
Ghea looked. "yes?"
"Bak this is the way. I don't think so"
A few minutes after walking. Aisha's mind was confused again. He said closer, but he felt from earlier he was only invited to spin around by Ghea.
"Dad, my necklace fell" said Ghea.
"Where is mbak?"
"Try looking there, I'm looking here"
Aisyah nodded. He walked a few steps forward with his body slightly bent. "How about a kayak?"
"The boulder is a duck" answered Ghea.
They're back looking. "Duh, how is this. keep looking there Shah" said Ghea.
Aisha stepped forward again. His eyes focused on looking down. For a moment he squatted. His hand picked up a golden object with a duck pendulum. Aisha smiled, she stood up. "Sir, the necklace met...." He said by turning the body.
His smile disappeared when Ghea was not in the arms of his two eyes. "WAVES!! MBAK GHEA NECKLACE HAS MET" HE CRIED. "WHERE ARE THE WAVES?"
Aisyah turned back her body. He walked a few steps to the right. Seeking the existence of Ghea. Suddenly, there was someone who patted Aisyah's shoulder. "Mr ghe..."
Aisyah. Knowing is not the expected person who comes. "Sasa?"
"How come you can be here?" Ask Aisyah.
"Yes. I was following Lo. After that, at midnight gini went to worry me" replied Sasa. "Gue was about to wake up when he heard something. But you woke up first to check. And Lo went with Ghea. Yes, I followed it"
"Oh that. But did you see Ghea ga?"
"Sir Ghea was gone when you were busy. What the hell else?"
"Necklace." Answer Aisha. "Where's Ghea going?"
"Gue doesn't know. But I think back to the camping place again"
Aisyah gave a long sigh. "If so, let us go back"
Sasa nodded. "Gue just saw Brother Ghea go through there. So maybe the direction to camping over there"
"Yes"
Sasa and Aisyah immediately walked away. With the help of lighting supplies by Sasa's mobile phone flashlight. A few minutes walking, Aisyah stopped her steps. "Well, how do you get back here?"
Sasa scratched his nape confused. "Gue doesn't know Shah either. I don't know this forest area..."
"Oh my God, I don't know either. How is this sa?"
"Let's walk again. Emm, this is a right turn" he said as they were confused by the turn between right and left.
They have been walking for a long time, but still. They didn't arrive. The road they walked was made sure it was wrong. "It's the wrong way like we're Shah" said Sasa who began to panic.
"We stop first. I'm tired of muters"
Sasa nodded. He and Aisha sat under one of the trees there. "Dad..."Call Sasa.
"Yes?"
"It seems that sister Ghea deliberately made Lo get lost in this forest"
"Hssst,, can't suudzon sa"
"Yes but Shah, if you are brother Ghea not on purpose. He's not gonna leave you like this..."
Aisyah. It was also true what Sasa said. Sasa looked towards his phone screen. "Udah wants one o'clock" he murmured. "Well, what if I call someone?"
"Yes sa."
"But whose phone? Dinda?"
Aisyah shakes. "Dinda to camping don't bring a cell phone"
"Keep who? Brother Fariz?"
"That's up to you"
"Yes, did you memorize Fariz's cell phone number?" Ask Sasa. Aisyah nodded. "Cepet Shah phone" Sasa handed him his cell phone.
Aisyah picked up and started typing her number. "Sa, here's the number. But you're the one who called. I don't dare"
"Why?" Sasa asked but Aisyah only went silent. "Oh yeah, here..." Sasa picked up his phone and called Fariz.
He put his cell phone next to his ear. He's whining. "The signal's ugly!!" Mumbled. He tried to contact Fariz.
Aisyah continued to look at Sasa. Hope Fariz picks up the phone. "Nyambung Syah", said Sasa making Aisyah smile in relief.
Sasa called back when Fariz did not pick up his phone. Maybe the guy is asleep. For the third time, the phone was not picked up. Sasa called back. Until the voice behind Sana was heard.
"Hello..."
Sasa smiled with relief. "Hello brother hello, brother in..."
"Hello brother, sister can be horrified right?" Ask Sasa.
"Yes.."
"Sister, this is Sasa. Sis, please this is Sasa again stray in the forest. The Aisyah"
"Sa-ama ai-isya-ah?" His voice sounded broken.
"Yes brother. So please ka..."
Tut Tut's...
Connection interrupted. Sasa clucked in annoyance. Sasa's phone rings again. He lifted. "Hello.."
"Lo te-etep-p in-isa-ana yes. Ja-angan-n - kem-mana-a ma-anaa. G-uue ke-ess-ana see-kar-ang"
Sasa tried to sharpen his hearing to hear Fariz's severed voice break. "Yes, brother, get over here"
Tut's...Tut's...Tut's....
The back connection is cut off.
"Where was that?" Ask Aisyah.
"Let's Fariz come here"
They waited for fifteen minutes. Fariz has not arrived. Maybe he was still confused looking for them. Sasa leaned his head on Aisyah's shoulder. He could no longer bear the sleepiness. While Aisyah was busy doing hand movements to warm her cold body. Unlike Sasa who uses a thick jacket, Aisyah only uses a long robe and hijab. He buried his head. Closing eyes. Feel the cold air that began to seep through the pores of his skin.
"Dear..."
The call made Aisyah raise her head. He looked at Fariz who was also staring at him. The guy looks tired with a bad breath. Aisyah stumped a smile. "Sister Fariz..."
Sasa opened his eyes. He immediately stood up with a relieved face when he saw Fariz who was already in front of him. Before long, Devan also arrived there. Aisha stand.
"Why are you here?" Ask Devan.
"That's my brother, that's Sasa ngikutin Aisyah. You know, he left, afraid of why napa kept Sasa going" replied Sasa.
"AISYAH LO WHAT IS HA? IF YOU GO, THAT'S PERMISSION FIRST!!" Jerky Fariz. "LO GA TAU I WORRY SAMA LO" CONTINUED.
Fariz threw away his face. Still, even though there was a lot of disappointment in her towards Aisyah, it would not defeat the love that was already in her heart.
"If Miss Desi and Miss Mira know how ha? Want to worry them? If you can't get permission, ask Lo to make nemenin. Can't it just be doang?? Nususahin just how you can!!" Fariz said in a high tone.
Aisyah. "Yes, sorry. Aisha is wrong"
"Sorry sorry..that's all you can do?!!" Cetus Fariz's.
"Udahlah Riz, do not try to turn Aisyah like that. We as brothers here, should have nenangin them. Not even in anger like that. And our mistake, too, is why this kind of thing can happen"
"Yes brother. This is not Aisyah's fault. But sister Ghea" Sahut Sasa.
"Ghea?" Ask Fariz.
Sasa nodded.
"Yes. So that's brother Ghea asked Aisyah to make him go to the toilet. Arriving in the middle of the road even in residence" explained Sasa
"Aisyah actually said Temen Lo?" Ask Devan
Aisyah. Then a small nod.
•••••
The four of them arrived at the camping site. The atmosphere is still quiet. It seems like Fariz had only told Devan to help him look for Aisyah and Sasa.
"Dad, cold huh?" Ask Devan
"Yes my brother"
Devan smiled as he took off his jacket. "Pake my jacket. Tomorrow you can turn it back to me"
"Son Devan, how cold is that?" Aisyah asked who saw Devan wearing a short-sleeved t-shirt.
Devan shakes. "Udah, you don't have to think about me. Put on his jacket..."
On the other hand, Fariz came to the tent. Seeing Ghea lying asleep.
"Ghea wake up Ghea..." Fariz. "Ghea wake!!"
"Ghea wake up now...!!"
Ghea opened her eyes. "Fariz" Call him.
"Gue wants to talk to you, Lo. Go behind the tent now!!" Fariz said by walking away to the back of the tent. Ghea stand. He came out of the tent. His eyes were round looking at Aisyah who was already at the camping spot. But he chose to continue his steps.
"What's Riz?" Ask Ghea.
"Now you're honest with me. You deliberately make Aisyah get lost in the middle of the forest?"
Ghea speechless. "Why did he. Answer!!" Fariz.
Fariz was silent waiting for Ghea's reply. But all the girl did was keep her mouth shut. "Ghea Jawab. You know what?!"
"If so why hm? You want to upset me? You want to remember that girl again, right?"
"On the basis of what you do is the same Aisyah. Here Lo as Ghea's sister, should take care of Lo's sister. Not even make a woe. What happens if Aisyah does?"
"Riz, this is not how much the same thing Aisyah did for Lo!!"
"Lo has no right to do that because Aisyah has never done the same thing Lo" Reply Fariz.
Ghea screeches. "Why the hell? You always remember Aisyah. Even when you know who Aisyah really is. Lo that's actually why Riz, huh, ha??"
Ghea saw Fariz at a glance, then left cursing her frustration. Not arguing at a bad time like this. "Mr Ghea..." Call Aisyah.
Ghea stop. Looking at Aisyah who was walking quickly towards him. "This is the necklace I've met..." Say Aisha by giving a necklace towards Ghea.
Ghea looked at Aisyah who was smiling. He clenched his hand. He took the necklace in Aisha's hand. Without thinking much, Ghea immediately threw the necklace towards the face of the girl before him.
"Do good with me!! Just so you know, I IT HATES THE SAME LO AISYAH!!" Ghea was angry. He then walked to his tent.
Aisyah. Sasa who saw him immediately ran over to Aisyah. "Lo ga papa's dad?" Ask Sasa to make sure.
Aisha gulped her saliva. He stepped up and sat down on the large log that was there. Sasa followed immediately. He sat down beside Aisha. Staring for a long time the girl who was silent lowered her head.
"Dad..."Call slowly.
"Sa, am I that bad until people hate me??" Aisha asked with her weak tone.
Sasa fell silent then shook his head. "No, you don't talk about it"
"I'm bad, huh??" Ask Aisha again.
"No, Lo is good with Syah" Reply Sasa.
Aisyah is getting bowed. "If it's good why do so many hate me?? They wouldn't hate it if I never made a mistake with them. Aye right?" Aisyah looked at Sasa. He was heavy. "I'm a bad guy. Aye right?"
•••••
People who like you, you're guilty they'll try to think good things about you.
People who hate you, you are good, they will still think bad things about you.
But still do good. Because this is not about our position in the eyes of men. Except in front of God.
