Meet a Mate in Pesantren

Chapter 3

Along the way many Asyifa looked outwards, watching every step his car drove. Al-Barokah pesantren is far from the city center. From the house of Ashifa it takes an hour and a half to arrive at the boarding school. The atmosphere of the village is still beautiful, the cold weather makes anyone who comes there will feel at home for a long time.

Not without reason Abi Umar chose to leave his son in the pesantren, In addition to the distance that is not too far away, and the pesantren is also the property of Abi Ummar.

The car driven by Abian has entered the boarding area, after parking the vehicle, one by one all passengers get off, Abi and Ummah have stepped in first followed by their daughter-in-law, Abian Busy took down Asyifa's luggage.

While Asyifa was still sitting pensively in the car, the sight of her eyes looking at every corner of the pesantren, fear began to haunt her.

"Honey Come down, we have arrived"., said Ummah when he saw his son daydreaming in the car.

Shela saw her sister-in-law pensively in the car then walked up to her.

"Let's go down" gently invite Shela.

Finally Ashifa wanted to get out of the car, they went to the main building of the boarding school.

"Asalamualaikum. . . "

"Mosuraforu. . . "

Mr. Umar said his greetings before entering the main building of the Al-Barokah pesantren.

The figure of a man who was almost the same age as Mr. Umar answered his greetings and welcomed the arrival of the family of Mr. Umar.

"Let's go to Umar". greet him with a smile full of authority.

"Where are you healthy ?" ask Mr. Umar while hugging his best friend tightly.

"Thank you be healthy" replied Mr. Hasan. "I don't think you're going to leave your daughter here, rich first time will leave your eldest son" he continued.

In the past Mr. Umar was also going to leave Abain in this boarding school but because Abian who refused and threatened to leave the house if he continued to be forced to pesantren. so Mr. Umar canceled his intention because he did not want his son to leave the house.

"God willing so ", said Mr. Umar.

Asyifa's eyes were busy monitoring the entire room around. His heart suddenly thumped, probably due to excessive anxiety.Pak Umar glanced at Asyifa who was just staring.

"Asyifa here son, this knows Kyai Hasan temen Abi at once the owner of this pesantren".pak Umar called Asyifa and hinted to come closer and pay homage to Kyai Hasan.

Asyifa greeted Kyai Hasan with great respect, and at the same time introduced herself.

"Asiifa. . ".

"Are you ready to stay here ?" kyai Hasan asked Asyifa stammered confused to answer what, if asked ready or uncertain the answer is no, because this is not his own will.

"God willing" answered Asyifa with a loud voice.

"Good Nak "sahut Kyai Hasan with a smile full of pride "But you should know that here all the work is done together - the same alias gotong royong, there are no special facilities as well, and all the students here are treated equally".

Kyai Hasan explained at length about the conditions and regulations in the pesantren, although Asyifa was his best friend's child but Ashifa did not expect special treatment, for Asyifa is how he can feel at home living in the pesantren in order to calm his parents.

"You rest here first and then you can go around - around seeing the boarding school" said Kyai Hasan. "I stayed for a while because there was a business for a while" continued Kyai Hasan.

"Thank you " said Mr. Umar.

Asyifa sat beside her Ummah and leaned against her Ummah as if - she would not want to part.

Asyifa's lips tightened, and her eyes began to flood, but she endured the power of her smile so that her parents would be heavy or thoughtful when they left her.

It was sad to hear the parting words however for seventeen years he was always with Ummah, Abi and his brother.

"Well - well here yes son, want to keep your prayers" said Abinya. " And keep your eyes on ustaz and its students are a lot of handsome" Goda Abi to melt the atmosphere that has begun to tighten.

"Who knows you will come home with a mate" continued Ummah added to the temptation of her husband.

"Ahh my sister came home with a soul mate" Overwrite Abian while laughing loudly to make Abian get a hard pinch on his arm from his wife. "Aww pain dear" Abian moaned.

Asyifa only smiled when she heard the temptation from her family, but she thought back to the words, said Iparmya's brother who said about the man's love and coke. As handsome as to what the person who wears a cocoa shirt and a sheath. Asyifa grew curious about this and wanted to see it soon.

...********...

After the Asyifa Family came home, Asyifa was brought to the Dormitory by Ustazah Aisyah.

the door of the room to be occupied by Ashifa opened with its width, two figures of the girl inside then stood welcoming with her smile.

"Include this Asyifa, she will stay with you, I will leave Asyifa to you yes" Ustazah told the two girls.

"Okay Ustazah" the girl replied in unison.

"Asyifa this is your new friend, you will stay here, if there is something you do not understand you can ask them" Ustazah Aisyah told Asyifa. "I say goodbye first, you please rest before following other activities" continued Ustazah Aisyah then left Asyifa and her two new friends.

Asyifa entered her room and assisted her two friends.Asyifa's eyes could not be separated to monitor the entire room which there were only three small beds, three small cabinets and three tables that were not too big. in his room there is also one bathroom.an anxiety will queue in the bathroom as where usually in the boarding school is immediately lost because it turns out that each room there is one bathroom.

"Know Me Nayla. ."

"Asyifa call Syifa".

"I'm Mila. ."

"Asyifa call Syifa ".

They introduced themselves to each other and shook hands with each other.Nayla and Mila were almost the same age as Asyifa, making Ashifa happy to get new friends directly.

"Your clothes just go in your clothes to the closet" Nayla shows the closet that will belong to Syifa.

"It's also your bed and your table" said Mila.

The three of them began to tell me about their origins while Asyifa continued to clean her luggage. Asyifa did not forget to ask about the existence of the pesantren.

Now it has entered the Asar time, Ashifa followed the Asar prayer and participated in its first activity led by Ustazah Aisyah.
