Love for santriwati

Love for santriwati
Night and the shadow of Halima



Afternoon had arrived and today's lecture was finished, we immediately rushed to return to the dormitory and continue the activities of the cottage. Me, Alif and Grace walked together towards the cottage. Along the way we talked about preparing to go home later.


"Where is your life preparation to go home later" said Rahmat,


"There are 80% of cave preparations**" replied Alif,


"Died waiting for you again, so don't come to my house in Bali" Alif continued,


"If I'm God willing so if there are no obstacles later" I told them both,


"Yes if you guys are, then I will prepare everything we need there" Alif added.


Time went by so fast and we were almost at the cottage hostel. Me, Alif, and Rahmat stopped by the shop for a pack of cigarettes and drinks for the night until we chatted late at night on the top floor of the cottage.


After we finished, we went straight back to the dormitory to take a bath and continued the night activities at the cottage.


When njai after isya has arrived, I have a duty to keep watch because usually many students who skip najai and if that happens there will be a punishment tomorrow morning like tied up in a mango tree in front of the dormitory. Of course it is very embarrassing because there will be many santri and santriwati who see.


The njai activity after the issue was finished and meal time arrived. All the santri rushed to take the food rations that had been provided by the dormitory. I was just casually watching every santri not so interested in dinner tonight. And I just want to imagine the beautiful face of an angel that descends on the island of heaven called Halimah. I went straight into the dormitory to get a cigarette and put money on Alif and Rahmat to buy coffee at the shop they ate,


"Lif, I'm going to buy coffee" I told Alif,


"Some Lif, I'm not in the mood to eat anymore" I said again to Alif,


"Oh, yes if so Di, then I will buy ya" said Alif.


After Alif and Rahmat went to the stall where they used to eat, I went straight to the third floor of the dormitory carrying a pack of cigarettes and a match to accompany me before my favorite black coffee came.


I walked slowly down the stairs one by one and I don't know what is happening right now so that all I have in mind is a dazzling Halimah smile. I still don't really understand how I feel right now, is this really love ? if this is true love, it really makes me so crazy on a figure that I myself can not know the contents of his heart.


I did not feel I had reached the usual place I enjoyed the night, a place where I felt a peace of soul when fret came over. I sat down and lit a cigarette ready to be enjoyed, a suction and a view facing the sky that seems to shine because of the moon and small stars scattered emitting a beautiful light. Through the gaze pointing towards the clear sky, I could feel the calmness of the night. It was as if the sky was depicting the dazzling smile of a very beautiful angel girl.


"oh my god, is it crazy of me to always have the smile of your perfect creation?" I murmured in my heart,


"god, explain to me what this all means",


"a feeling that made me feel the tremors in a very turbulent chest", in that daydream I still asked about a feeling that I really could not understand in the slightest.


the suction after the suction of cigarettes was very delicious with the shadow of Halimah accompanying me, I was very anxious to say about this but I did not know who I had to tell about this all. to Alif ?


ah sure enough, he will definitely continue to mock me, he is a person who likes to mock his friends.
