Love In Pesantren's

Silence is better

Neli got a free spectacle this afternoon, shocked and embarrassed. The same thing Hulliyah felt, just after Haqi bawled awkwardly earlier, now Neli with Hulliyah was in the cowboy with their own feelings.

"Sorry Li, I didn't see it on purpose."

Neli hesitated to speak.

"Ah, emm Nel.i was.ga.nga ngapain kok."

Hulliyah looked embarrassed.

"You do not know what is forbidden, it is halal. Next time lock the door."

Huh huh?

Hulliyah's face grew red with embarrassment.

"Not a second time, it's like this. I'm sorry Nel" said Hulliyah.

Neli smiled intently, "No problem, I was bothering haha...."

Suddenly Neli's laughter broke out making Hulliyah reflexively silence Neli's mouth with great difficulty.

"Nellie! Not diem! Not diem!"

Hulliyah was still trying to silence Neli's mouth while posing a threat.

Neli held back his laughter while nodding in Hulliyah's grip.

"Sorry Li, sorry. I became amused, it was hot again even I disturbed." Neli again laughed, but this time Hulliyah was silent and did not give any threat or defense. It made Neli gradually stop his laughter.

"Actually, I and Haqi's brother were talking to Ustadz Zam" Hulliyah said.

Neli captured the seriousness in Hulliyah's face, "what happened to Ustadz Zam?"

Hulliyah let out a heavy breath, "I don't want Nimas to hurt Nel. I'm afraid Ustadz Zam is looking for fun outside his house."

Neli looked at Hulliyah who was in front of him then said, "why are you suddenly worried so?"

"I accidentally met Ustadz Zam at the Forum with a woman." Hulliyah.

"Why is that why? While not alone, no problem. You don't have bad prejudices Li!"

"I know Nel, I'm just scared."

"Eh, I also met Ustadz Zam at the Market. We talked for a while about lunch. Ustadz Zam was not alone, there was a woman named Hanna eh Hannah there continued to be small children too."

Neli's words made Hulliyah demand more explanation.

"Do you want them in the market?"

"He said he nemenin children shopping for school needs. Understand it is soon a new school year, so the child wants to enter SD. Begono!"

"It's not right! Neli, please let me go to Bi Haji! I'm going to Nimas' house for a minute."

Without waiting for Neli's reply, Hulliyah hurried away. There was no one around him now, the only one in Hulliyah's head right now was Nimas.

Some santri who greeted unheeded, worry and fear surrounded his soul. Even the anger that was ready to explode Hulliyah held in her chest.

----------------------

Hulliyah arrived at the house of Nimas, something that made him more bitter.

Hulliyah saw Nimas on his porch painstakingly calming his two crying daughters.

Khalila, Zamima's sister, was carried in cloth by Nimas. Zamima was carried with one hand.

The two children were crying, even Zamima could be heard screaming. Nimas was seen crying because he was unable to calm his two daughters.

"Assalamualaikum, astaghgirulloh what is this?" Hulliyah half-runningly took Zamima from Nimas' hand.

Although Zamima was struggling, Hulliyah held him back until Zamima slowly calmed down on his own.

While Nimas still tears to calm Khalila, let's say Nimas is weak. But her fragile heart made it easy to cry, especially when it came to her two daughters.

Hulliyah was more and more heartless, how could he complain when the situation was like this?

Hulliyah continued to look at Nimas piba while holding Zamima. There was no word between them, and Hulliyah gave Nimas time to cry.

Nimas, what should I do?

After Khalila calmed down a bit, Nimas' cries slowly stopped.

"Waalaikumsalam, sorry I just answered."

Nimas smiled as he wiped his tears.

"Why are they crying?" ask Hulliyah.

Nimas gave a small smile to each other by the cheeks of Khalila in his sling.

Maybe Mima dreams of her father with another woman.

Hulliyah looked at Zamima in her lap, both of Zamima's clear eyes as the area around the eyes was flushed red.

"Mima baby, don't like to go berserk! Poor mom son."

Hulliyah tried to chat with the little girl who was not yet two years old.

Zamima embraced Hulliyah's body tightly and hid his face behind the veil that Hulliyah had placed.

"Eh Mima cussed, uh."hulliyah's tease on the little boy.

After a long time, Zamima finally came down from the lap of Hulliyah and started playing with her dolls.

Now Nimas and Hulliyah were in the house. Nimas was breastfeeding Khalila, watching Zamima play a doll.

Hulliyah watched Nimas with great sadness.

Hulliyah could not bear to see Nimas crying earlier, while Ustadz Zamzam was busy walking outside. Hulliyah was confused as to what to do.

"Why see me keep Li? Weird huh? Hehe I'm sorry I was in the same koser with the kids."

Nimas let out his special grin.

"Tumben Ustadz Zam hasn't come home yet."

"So called, he said he wanted to take the children to the market."

Heh.

Nimas know?

"Who is Nim?" ask Hulliyah in doubt.

"I don't know, it wasn't that perfect."

Hulliyah was really in a difficult condition. Seeing Nimas cry was a very painful thing for him.

"Nimas, the next time the kids go berserk you run to Pesantren ya!"

"So, shame on the Pesantren makes a mess. This is the first time they cry together, hopefully tomorrow-tomorrow no more."

Maybe the kids feel something is wrong about Nim's father. Oh my God, how should I?

Hulliyah struggled with her own thoughts.

"I will ask permission every day to Mama Haji, so that I can come here every day to see you."

Nimas stared at his best friend's astonishment, "it doesn't need Li. I'm...."

"Don't argue, I'll keep doing it. You must be happy Nim! Dress a little!"

Nimas is upset.

"You asked dandan? Do I look so ugly?"

Hulliyah shook her head strongly, looking at the face of the friend carefully.

"You're so pretty, too pretty to be human. At least you should look cheerful and always smile so the whole world knows you're a strong woman."

Nimas laughed at Hulliyah's words.

"You're a big bitch."

"I learned from you" said Hulliyah.

Nimas glared sharply, "dih, idih I've never been a tombal. Oh I know, it's because of the effect of being married. Ciee ouch."

Nimas seduces Hulliyah and is then rewarded with tickling from his best friend.

"Stop Li, Khalila will be shocked again."

Nimas held his best friend's hand and stopped his laughter.

"This is Khalila and Auntie is here!"

Hulliyah took over Khalila and held the tiny baby.

They continued their increasingly beautiful conversation.

Hulliyah decided to keep his mouth shut and did not speak anything about Ustadz Zamzam to Nimas.
