The Pesantren

"I'im pamit bude, doain ya let kerasan in his lodge". pamit I'im to his bude while asking for prayer, whether he was a bit afraid that - if he did not feel at home living in the pesantren. He was afraid that he could not be like his brothers who had been outside in memorizing the life of pesantren. It was sometimes a motivation for him to be like his two brothers but also sometimes it became a burden of his fear what if he could not follow in his brother's footsteps.

" you kudu kerasan to im, pity that your father far - far away nganter until here, if ndak yo try it ask your mbak, he's an expert kerasasan life where - where". bude answered with a laugh even though his tone was mocked Tari who was arranging the goods - items that needed to be taken to the boarding house.

Arriving at the pesantren, the situation is rather quiet, because it coincides with the implementation of the dzuhur prayer in the middle prayer room at the princess' lodge, Al Falah that is the name of PonPes that I'im and his family addressed. there is also where once Tari studied before continuing college.not a large boarding house with thousands of students like where Jannah second brother I'im demanded knowledge, but even more awake here, because with santri that not many managers can be easier to take care of it.

"Assalamualaikum" Tari said hello.

" Waalaikumsalam" Mbah nyai also answered his greetings. She was the mother of Kyai who took care of the boarding school, with her guidance many princesses who have become great people after graduating from there.

As parents, Mr. Sumitro and Pakde as guardians handed I'im to Mbah Nyai, because at that time Pak Kyai was traveling so there was no lodging.

" yes if there is an intention to go home here, may God provide convenience, blessing. Our responsibility here as the babysitter of the cottage, hopefully son..sinten was his name? owh ya nak Fatimah Az Zahra can be hardened, can follow the rules of the cottage, and hopefully get the knowledge that benefits".

" Amiain...!!

After sowan, Tari invited I'im to register with the manager and put the goods to the room that had been determined by the manager.

After you feel finished packing and also around to see - see the atmosphere of the cottage. I'im and Tari met his father next to the mosque, Mr. Sumitro was not allowed to enter his daughter's dorm room.

So he waited while resting in the cottage mosque adjacent to the dormitory.

" Tonight you have to sleep here nduk, the father went home to bude, seng ati - ati, seng tenanan naji and studie !" mr. Sumitro's message to his daughter. Hearing that I'im felt full in the chest, not the grandiose thing that his father asked for, but it felt heavy to him.

"no sir, doain I'im ya". while hugging his father I'im replied with tears.

as well as Tari who saw that was not able to stem her cries, she felt the burden of her parents to finance their school would certainly increase, so she would help as much as possible with a simple life, he said, without following the euphoria of student life, he also intends to help his sister to be strong and can live in a comfortable lifestyle.

# kira - guess can I'im comfortable living in the pesantren???
