Love Children Pesantren

Lembayung Dusk

That night, Ilham was ordered Abah to accompany him to complete a study in one of the villages with kang ridho. They left after performing the Isya prayer'. Usually if Abah wants to fill out a study, he will be accompanied if not by kang ridho ya kang rozak. Both are Abah's confidants and pesantren dhalem. But tonight, Abah also wants to be accompanied by Ilham. Kang rozak and kang ridho have lived in the pesantren for 7 years. Then naturally they became two people of Abah's faith.

Tonight, kang rozak is in a fish pond and will stay there. So, this Abah has a fish pond that is about 5 km from the pesantren. Although it is not too big, but if the harvest gets a lot of results. And Abah gave up the trust of the pond to be managed both. So that every night Kang Rozak and kang ridho sleep in a small house that stands in the pond to guard it alternately. Take care if someone takes it without permission.

About 30 minutes into the journey, they finally arrived. There are a lot of people waiting there. Abah started walking towards the stage smiling at the people present. He took the stage and sat down to join some of the people sitting there.

The show started. Abah opened it by giving thanks to Allah SWT also sholawat to His Messenger Allah SAW.

One hour of the event is still going on. Ilham sat down with kang ridho and two other fathers who guarded the security of the event. He continued to watch and listen to every chapter that Abah told him. His attention was distracted by a man in a black jacket with torn jeans on his knees. Having a look that can make some people reluctant to see it.

Inspiration stands up. Close his eyes looked at that person who kept running towards the stage. Feeling he was not a good person either, Ilham also immediately ran faster chasing after him. No matter the attention of some people who are now distracted.

His eyes stared intently at the man's hand that was tucked back, a small knife was removed making Ilham accelerate his run. Just as the man was about to take the stage, Ilham immediately pulled his black jacket forcibly. Then slammed his body with taekwondo movements that he had mastered. Maybe if Fariz jago pencak silat, Ilham also did not lose his universe in taekwondo. However, he never showed it.

He and the man immediately became the center of attention. Inspiration took the knife that was in that man's hand. People who were there immediately showed different expressions. Some are shocked, afraid, furious there is also an immediate alert to help secure the person. Inspiration looked at Abah. Make sure he's okay. His eyes shifted to the kang ridho who stood no less shocked.

Not until there it turns out, five men with the look of a criminal running in making a scene and some even seem to hurt. Direct inspiration against them. Kang Ridho as well. Once he felt strange, why the father there was only speechless to see the man making a commotion. But seeing there was resistance from Ilham and Kang Ridho, then they dared to help the two of them overcome the five people.

Even though he was busy fighting the man in front of him. His eyes did not escape to watch over Abah. Make sure Abah's okay there. The focus is back to the front. His eyes glanced back at Abah. Saw someone running back towards Abah. Unwilling to waste time, Ilham kicked right in the chest of the man in front of him. He immediately ran onto the stage. That person would have his courage instantly lift up the knife that was in his hand, then point it towards Abah's body. Seeing that, Abah simply chose to shift his body. Almost exposed. Why just shift the body?

Because Abah saw the anxiety on the face of Inspiration for his current condition. Rest assured, anxiety only exists in people in whom there is love and affection. And that person will not let the person he loves get hurt, even by anyone. The thug grew more violent, he again stepped closer and launched his knife attack. Lucky with so swift Ilham immediately came and caught the figure from behind and held his steps. Because it continues to rebel, inevitably Ilham hit hard on the shoulder of the person using his elbow to make the position of the thug sitting on his knees withstanding the pain on his shoulder.

"LACK OF TEACHING!! MY FREELAN!! DENGER YES, HE WAS JUST TEACHING HERESY. GA PANTES IS HERE!" He shouted with hateful tone.

"Abiabasanjana..." Dinda.

Abah who was reading the Koran immediately closed his reading. "Waalaikum salam Din.."

Dinda kissed the back of Abah's hand and sat down on the chair. "Sir, how's it going?"

"Thank God be good,,"

"Oh my God, Abi really isn't papa?"

Abah nodded. "Ga papa Din's. Don't worry"

Dinda sighed slowly. "Bi, what after this Abi still want to fill the study in the village?"

"Yes"

"But if this happens again how?" Ask Dinda worried.

"You don't have to worry about Din, thank God those thugs have been taken to the police station"

Dinda speechless. "Emang the residents, dare to report the premiums of the bi police?"

"The reported lham"

"Sister Inspiration?"

Abah nodded. "Yes. Ilham reported the thug for attempted murder"

"Sir Ilham last night went with bi?"

"Yes. Abi deliberately invited Ilham"

"Wis to nduk, Ndak was worried about it. Abah is safe" Sahut Bu nyai who came with a cup of tea. "This is bi's tea"

"Jih, Thank you ummik" he replied.

"Dinda, there's nduk school. You will be late" said Ms. Nyai.

"Yes ummik" Dinda stood up. Greet their hands one by one. "Dinda to school first. Assalamualaikum"

"Waalaikum salam" replied Abah and Bu nyai.

Lina walked over to Aisyah who was sitting alone in the back garden. "Assynogaic"

Aisyah raised her head. "Waalaikum salam. Lin,,,"

Lina sat down beside Aisyah. "Well, how is he here? Not in the canteen?"

"No Lin. I'm fasting again today. You're here?"

"Yes I'm looking for iqbal. Want to give me a jengkol stew"

Aisyah frowned. "Sir iqbal likes jengkol stew?"

"Yes" answered Lina. "Eh Shah, Lo fasts because he has no pocket money??"

Aisyah. "No. I intend to fast, so that I can get a reward. Not because..." Aisha hung up her sentence.

"Dad, yes I know his intention. But also at once let it not be a snack. You see, the pocket money Lo has already run out to buy food for kak Fariz. Aye right?" Lina looked at the silent aisyah then sighed heavily. "Dad,, you don't give food to Brother Fariz again. That's money to buy food for you. Fariz must have his own money..."

"Yes but Lin how else. Lin, you'll know for yourself Fariz now what if I'm the same. Lin really I don't want any broken relationships with other people. Same as whoever it is. Ms. Ghea, sheren or sister Fariz.I want my relationship with other people is good." Aisyah. "Perhaps with Fariz's love of food, Brother Fariz can gradually open himself to talk to me. Let all this trouble be finished"

Lina nodded her head. "Yes I understand that. But Lo how is Shah? You have to eat from morning until noon every day. I was 8 o'clock it felt like a laper!!"

Aisyah was silent for a long time. "Well then you have another way Lin so that Fariz can talk to me again?"

Lina was silent. "You know me too... Uh but I'll try to find another way later"

"Assynogaic"

Both looking. "Greetings waalaikum"

"Gue search everywhere" said iqbal.

"Oh you guys want to talk important huh? Then go away." Say Aisyah by standing up. "Assynogaic"

"Waalaikum salam'

Iqbal and Lina looked at Aisyah who was stepping away. "Ah Lo bal, why the hell use come all??"

Iqbal sat down beside Lina. "Gue laper's. Where is the clove jengkolnya, have not lo love also"

"Oi forgot. Here's..." Lina offered what Iqbal asked for.

"Where's the cracker?" Ask Iqbal.

"There is none. Kan Lo ga asked"

Iqbal. Even if the same crackers taste better. Iqbal scoops his food and starts eating it.

"Lumayan is"

"Hiii. I just don't like it"

Iqbal looked at Lina. "If you don't like it why did you give it to me?"

"Yes that's it. I used to want to play Lo. You know you like it"

Iqbal just nodded then went back to eating jengkol stew with his warm rice.

"Room..."

"Hm"

"How to crush that guy's heart anyway?"

Hearing Lina's question made iqbal instantly choke. Lina shifted her body further to the side. "Hiyek, Lo why the hell use in vomiting all the rice??"

Iqbal normalizes the condition of his mouth. Swallowed everything he chewed. "I didn't throw up, but it wasn't on purpose. Anyway Lo why the hell ask that? Who would want to melt his heart?"

"Sister Fariz"

Immediately, iqbal's eyes are perfectly rounded. Bummer. "Crazy for Lo Lin. Do you want to marry your own friend? The relationship with Fariz is no good. You even add to the problem of using to melt his heart Fariz. Heh no matter how much Fariz likes Aisyah, even though Fariz is now angry with her."

Lina clucked in annoyance. "It's it's not me who wants to melt his heart Brother Fariz. But Aisyah. Don't eat it straight nyerocos!!" Lina.

Iqbal let out a sigh of relief. "Oh I'm kirain."

"So how is it going?"

Iqbal. "Where are you?"

"Lo don't know how? You're the same with Fariz, must have been marahan. Although rare"

"Yes the problem is a guy melted his heart a guy, the same girl melted his heart the guy is different" Reply Iqbal. "Usually yes if the girl often woo her guy let his heart melt. For example, my dear Pliis sorry I dooong. That's it"

Lina shook her head amusedly. "No no. Yes, Aisha is like that"

"I just give you an example. Most of what I see is usually until the girl hugs me. Let the guy's heart melt. Keep in your grasp, in the love of faith..."

"What a real Lo. Don't want the aisyah until you hold it. Ah bal, seriously"

"This is me serious. Mostly that's it"

"Lo's brainy little cake. Let her think she can be real" Lina said.

"Heh Lin, I have no experience in that. So I don't know how to do it"

Lina squeaks. "I'm just asking you"

Ilham sat on one of the chairs that was next to the school corridor. With the Shohih Bukhori Muslim Hadith collection in his hands.

"Assynogaic"

I thought I was looking at Dinda. He smelled a smile. "Greetings waalaikum"

"Sir Ilham, brother Ilham how is he? Ga papa?"

Inspiration closes the book and stands up. She shook her head. "No"

"Sister, Dinda would like to say thank you to my sister. If there's no sister Dinda..."

"Udah Din, ga papa. It is all because of Allah" Reply Inspiration.

Dinda lowered her head. He owes it to Inspiration. "Sorry sister dinda can't love sister what."

"Lo don't think about it"

"Din, I'd like to ask you something Lo. Why did that happen. There is no smoke if there is no fire. Maybe you can tell the truth" Ilham said.

Dinda was silent with a long sigh. "Actually Abah had filled out studies, and the story was horrified that in the next village was dominated by thugs who liked to mena. And there, all must obey the same rules that have been set the same thug. If anyone violates, they citizens will receive the consequences" said Dinda. "Eat the people there they obey the same as what the thugs ordered, even though they have to suffer. Yes, the language is secure, brother."

"When Abah came to the village there, Abah asked them not to be easy to make in squeeze. You see, the thugs often rob people of that money because of hard work." Dinda.

Ilham. Worth it, they were just speechless to see the thug making a fuss and just acted when they saw him putting up a fight. The reason is because of fear. "Continue?"

"It was so often come there. Abah often advised people not to fear anyone other than Allah. Frequent study at the mosque. Over time, people began to dare the same thugs, began to deny all the injustice that had been created thugs. So, the thug had threatened Abah, if Abah dared to set foot in the village again, Abah would accept the consequences. And Dinda's concern about the thug threat happened last night. Thank God, thankfully there was a brother"

Ilham nodded in understanding. " Yes Alhamdulillah. Do not forget, kang Ridho also helped to take care of Abah."

"Yes my sister" Reply Dinda. "Yes, if so, Dinda said yes, brother. Assalamualaikum"

"Greetings waalaikum"

Dinda turned her body. "Within..."

He looked back. "Gue just asked for one thing Lo. Doain, so that all requests and good purposes in my prayer can be fulfilled and in the same worship of God" Pinta Ilham.

Dinda smiled and nodded. "Yes brother. Definitely Dinda doain. whatever is best for sister" said Dinda make Ilham's smile wider.

TWILIGHT

Meaning of a relationship.

Love can strengthen when we are always sincere in togetherness.

But it will weaken if we demand perfection.

Because a soul mate is not looking for the best

But take you well...
