Meet a Mate in Pesantren

Chapter 4

Asyifa opened her eyes when she heard the sholawat chant from the surau, The voice so melodious that anyone who heard it would be amazed.

Asyifa looked towards the wall clock, the clock showed three o'clock in the morning.

"Where are you going this morning" Asyifa said when she saw Mila was tidy.

" Let's wake up we have to go to Surau because there is a study after the tahajud prayer, the time is only 10 minutes, if we are late we will be punished" Mila explained to Asyifa.

Asyifa again heard the sound of sholawatan so merdua made Ashifa speechless when she heard it. His voice is very sweet must be a handsome person as well.

"Who is sholawatan ?" ask Ashifa to Mila.

" Why, would say that his voice is melodious" Guess Mila.

Asyifa did not understand Mila's guess, she immediately went to the bathroom to wash her face and took ablution water because Nayla had come out of the bathroom. After finishing they walked towards the surau, Ashifa walked in a hurry because she was so curious about the melodious voice.

When they stepped into the surau it turned out that there were many other santri who had gathered there.they looked for a seat that was still empty to follow the tausiah to be started.

tausiah this time led by a ustaz who was so young.

Throughout the tausiah took place, Ashifa continued to observe the young ustaz.it turned out to be true said sister Shela if the man has a sieve to his own. The study was completed and continued with the dawn prayer because it had entered dawn.

After all was done, Asyifa, Mila and Nayla returned to their rooms. The feeling of coughing again hit on Asyifa, because in the sense of still the morning Ashifa plans to go back to sleep before starting its activities.

"Heyii why are you sleeping again" Nayla said as she saw that Asyifa was lying on her bed.

"I am still sleepy, and this is still half a six" Asyifa said as her eyes brushed off ready for dreamland.

"His custom after the dawn prayer all the students will start with their respective activities, such as helping prepare for breakfast and cleaning the yard and room that has been determined.

"There's no special team here ?" ask Asyifa who got up from her bed.

"In the cooking section there are but all students are obliged to help, we all have our own schedules.

"And it just so happens that today our schedule helps in the kitchen "timpal Nayla.

With a very forced Ashifa to follow Nayla da Mila. when heading to the public kitchen boarding school Ashifa saw all the santri already in the busy with their respective activities - each of which swept the yard, swept the terrace and mopped, mopping, they do it with gotong royong and occasionally they are seen joking and laughing happily without burden.

In the kitchen, there are also many students who are preparing food ingredients to be processed into breakfast.

"Three of you peel the onions only " Bi Ijah orders all in charge of the kitchen.

Nalya took two plastic bags containing garlic and onions while Mila took a knife and place to make onions that have been peeled.

Asyifa was so agile in peeling onions made Nayla and Mila a little surprised.

"Wah jago also turned out to peel the nose" said Nayla.

"Udah Kaya chef " timpal Mila who does not want to lose.

"Often, peeling onion mah small, every day also at home like to help Ummah cook" replied Asyifa on the two cement.

"Oh pantesan, because I never entered the kitchen" said Mila.

Asyifa also helps other plants after the task of peeling onions is completed.

Asyifa and her two friends returned to the room to take a bath in the morning.They took turns, started by Mila next Nayla and the last Asyifa. while waiting for Mila to take a bath Nayla and Asyifa talked - talk light things - light.

"Eh Nay who said who was it ?" ask Ashifa who is marketing.

"It was called ustaz Muhamad Rabbani Altafaraz but often called ustaz Bani" said Nayla.

"The name is as good as the person" said the inner Asyifa.

"Do not like it, no one has it !" Nayla Seru.

"Have he married ?" asked Ashifa in shock when she heard that someone already had.

"Not yet" answered Nayla casually. "But people say that Ustaz Bani has been betrothed to the Salwa ustazah.

"Oh. ." said Asyifa briefly.

Nayla who saw Mila coming out of the bathroom immediately got up and ran towards the bathroom.

"Without breakfast what are our activities ?" ask Asyifa.

"Later we have a lesson about sharia business". Answer Mila.

"All students are obliged to join ?" ask Asyifa again.

"It's mandatory unless they're going to school.

In Al-Barokah pesantren there are also schools from PAUD level to Aliah Madrasah, the School belongs to Kyai Hasan.

"santri here no one's going to college ?" ask Asyifa curiously.

"If for santri kaya there is no deh, but if ustaz and ustazah there are some of them who are in college also ", said Mila.

Their conversation ended because Nayla had finished bathing and now it was Ashifa's turn to take a bath. In the bathroom Asyifa had thought how if I went to school. surely her parents would also agree to it.

After the breakfast of other students scattered to continue their activities, Ashifa and his two friends immediately walked to the boarding hall to follow the learning about sharia business.

After all the santri gathered, the event was started by the ustazah Salwa. in this activity the men and women joined but there is still a limit between them. It turns out that Kak Shela said that men wear sarongs and cocoa have their own charms.Asyifa said when looking at male santri.

"The next retribution will be delivered by ustaz Bani" said ustazah Salwa make boisterous santri. "at usatz Bani I pardon". continued Salwa ustazah who allowed ustaz Bani to go forward.

ustaz Bani began to provide material about the sharia business, all students focus on paying attention to ustaz Bani, especially female students, but not with Asyifa who was cool in daydreaming about sarungan men.

Ustaz Bani realized that one of the students was not paying attention to him and he then reprimanded him.

"Hey you're sitting in the corner, wearing a veil of gray, why are you daydreaming, if you don't like this learning, please come out !" said ustaz Bani with a little snapping.
