Love In Pesantren's

It's as easy as falling in love

The father was still wrathful to see Haqi's face, wanting him to let out a crane to peck at Haqi. But it was just a desire in his heart.

Mama Haji mediates the two of them and invites to speak carefully.

They sat down for deliberation, the gaze of Hulliyah's father did not turn away from his son-in-law. Manghunus was sharp as if he wanted to grab and stab him.

Haqi returned the gaze with a smile, Haqi knew the violence would melt with gentleness.

"I'm disappointed! Mama should have kept my trust!" Hulliyah's father is still excited.

"Look sir, I thought they were husband and wife and what's wrong with them going out together?" Mama Haji said as gently as possible so that Hulliyah's father was not provoked by emotions.

"I don't want this to happen again!" threaten Hulliyah's father.

"No sir, I will not repeat it again" Haqi replied firmly.

"I'm not talking to you!" answer Hulliyah's father.

It seemed like Haqi's journey to melt the heart of the in-laws was still very long. Soon Hulliyah's father bailed to meet his son. Stay now Haqi and Mama Haji.

Mama Haji looked at Haqi seriously.

"Son, forgive your in-laws who behave like that."

"No Ma, I was wrong. I'm sorry, Mama got dragged into this matter" said Haqi sincerely.

Mama smiled then said, "it's really lucky that your in-laws have a daughter-in-law like son Haqi. In-laws are our parents too, so treat them as a child would a parent. May Allah soften your in-laws' hearts soon."

Haqi was only able to guarantee without being able to expect more. Haqi was self-conscious, he was just an impromptu son-in-law who suddenly came to see his son.

Haqi understood the feelings of the in-laws who wanted the perfect son-in-law again to be established.

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

Since that day Haqi never came to the Pesantren, Haqi chose to keep his distance from Hulliyah. Not intended to stay away just want to show that he really wants to get the trust of the in-laws.

Counting two weeks, Hulliyah waited for Haqi to visit, but Haqi never showed the trunk of his nose.

Whether since when the feeling of longing stopped, Hulliyah was eager to meet Haqi. Eager to see his smile, Hulliyah wanted to hear his ever wise speech.

Is that busy you, brother? Did you forget me?

Hulliyah was seen on the roof of the madrasah. Hulliyah chose to spend her afternoon rest there. Hulliyah wanted to be alone, enjoying solitude and an unbridled longing.

No more Beni in the heart of Hulliyah, God quickly turned the heart of Hulliyah. Hulliyah did not feel any pain anymore given the incident that required her to marry Haqi. Hulliyah was grateful that this was her destiny with Haqi.

In the midst of the hot sun this afternoon, Hulliyah still pensive his eyes around enjoying the beauty of the area that had been the place to live and settle.

From up there Hulliyah could see the ball field where he had played ball together there. A smile remembered that day. The day he released his soul to be free and laugh.

Hulliyah's eyes again circled around the Pesantren area, until the figure was accidentally seen.

The figure he missed, Haqi was close to him.

Yes, Haqi is controlling the construction of a drill well that is still in the completion stage.

Their smiles accompanied Hulliyah's running legs.

The quick step was not realized the faster, until Hulliyah tripped and fell many times. Hulliyah did not care how sick her knees and soles were that were not covered with a pedestal.

Hulliyah only wanted to meet Haqi, Hulliyah wanted to talk to her husband. Hulliyah is longing.

The quiet atmosphere of Pesantren makes it not much to cross paths with other students. Most santri are doing a ritual nap so that later in the night they are eager to teach until midnight.

Hulliyah continued to run, only a few more steps came before the gate. Haqi's body already looked very close. Haqi was still talking to those officials.

Haqi was seen moving from his place, then walking away and further away. Hulliyah who had just arrived in front of the gate with a severed breath could only stare at Haqi's distant back.

The gate is locked, it is always locked so that students are not free to roam outside.

Hulliyah limp looked at Haqi who was getting further away, to call his name alone was no more energy.

Hulliyah walked limp towards the shade around where she was. Hulliyah sat himself down and massaged his newly painful legs.

It seems like Brother Haqi doesn't want to see me. Ah stupidly me, I shouldn't have expected more of him. Haqi's brother was the victim who saved me. Must be so forced to marry me, it's worth it that she doesn't want to touch me.

The clear eyes were now glazed over, Huliyah realized that her relationship with Haqi was a mistake.

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

The days passed by the Hulliyah trying not to yearn anymore, the Hulliyah let his feelings float and hoped to quickly disappear.

Tonight as usual weekly evening santri is listening to the study of the leader of Pondok Pesantren.

Mama Haji served one by one his students, collecting them in one large room of the Pesantren hall.

Hulliyah mingled with other santriwati preparing to listen to the study tonight. Trying to divert attention from the excitement of his heart, steadying himself to seek knowledge in the absence of worldly temptations.

Mama Haji had stood in front of the pulpit, starting the study sooner than usual.

"Have you heard the word istidraj?"

In the middle of his talk Mama Haji raised a question that was greeted by answers from the students.

"Early...."

"What is istidraj? Istidraj can be interpreted as the torment of pleasure. Is there a Ma? There's obviously!"

The interactive carrying of Mama makes the students eager to listen to his study.

"Alloh Subhahuwata'ala said in the letter of Al An'am verse 44 which means, then when they forget the warning that has been given to them. We opened all the doors of pleasure for them. When they rejoice in what they have been given. Until We have suddenly tormented them, then they have fallen into despair."

"The verse explains that when a Muslim does a lot of worship and rarely worship, but his life is filled with pleasure. Be careful, then, that is a sign of being mistydraj."

Suddenly a santri raised his hand to ask.

"Is there any sign of Ma?"

"Obviously, some of its characteristics are one, lazy to worship but his life is so delicious. Two, do a lot of work but be filled with calm. Three, rarely sick."

Mama continued her studies until midnight.

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

After the study was over, Neli and Hulliyah prepared to sleep in their cobong.

Before closing his eyes, Neli invited Hulliyah to speak.

"Li, am I being bullied?"

"Why indeed?" said Hulliyah who began to stumble.

"I'm happy to be single" said Neli innocently.

"That's the fate. I am so sorry."

Hulliyah closed her day and rested her body hoping that tomorrow there would be happiness without istidraj.
