MINUTES OF LONGING
School Graduation



Tonight is the graduation night of Arkana Zayid Al Ghifari and Maher Abdullah Ar Rashid. The age of these sisters who are only 2 months apart, makes them a classmate. After tonight they officially took off their gray-white uniforms. Prepare to start a new step to realize the mind.


Maher who incidentally a Gus from the boarding school Darul Iman and the son of a Kiyai Iqbal Ar Rashid. He needed to gain knowledge and deepen religious knowledge. Later he will also replace Abinya continue da'wah. Since Kaecil Maher has been accustomed to being proffered with moral learning in his daily life. Even since the age of 3 years Maher has memorized the letters hijaiah and some short letters.


Not much different from Maher, Arkana's cousin was no less great. In addition to having memorized the Qur’an since childhood. He also inherited the beautiful voice of his mother who was a Qori. Several times Arkana also participated in the Qiro race and often won the first champion. Although it has a sweet voice. Arkana is not the type of guy who likes to show off his voice in the middle of the place. He would never want to be asked to sing on stage at a big event. He felt more comfortable channeling his singing hobby only on family events. Perhaps it was this trait that his father passed down to Arkana.


The two men who had handsome faces and myriad talents were. Being the months of girls his age even those far below him. There are so many girls trying to get their attention. No exception the students of pesantren Abi Maher. They will always look for reasons to be able to meet the two men who they think the dream of all women. Thanks to the faith that was instilled early on. Making Maher and Arkana not easily swayed and seduced. Whenever they feel like someone is approaching. Instead they will immediately install a barrier. With firmness and firmness of principles. They managed to make some girls give up on their own.


Since Elementary school they include their younger siblings and older cousins attending school at Abi Iqbal boarding school. Their compactness since childhood who never wanted to separate. Requires that parents inevitably allow them to go into bed from the age of 7 years. Although sometimes still not willing to part with children at a very small age. But the child's wishes remain a priority. Moreover, their wishes are very good. So there is no reason to forbid their wishes.


As usual on the night of graduation, the pesantren will hold a release event as well as do’a together. The pesantren will also give awards to outstanding santri-santri. Both in religion and in the general field. They all get the same appreciation.  In this event also usually pesantren will display the skills of the students and satriwati.


The pesantren deliberately displays some of the advantages that the students have. As it is today, the little santri are 7-9 years old. Linger on stage and recite his 30 juz memorization. They also provide opportunities for students who excel in Qiroah to show their abilities. In addition to increasing the confidence and satisfaction of the students. The pesantren also make it as a public interest attraction. So that they know what has been obtained santri who studied at the Darul Iman pesantren. That way the pesantren expect many children who are interested in learning and deepening the science of religion in their pesantren.


The event was over, many of the students hugged each other. Those who have reached the final stage say goodbye and convey messages to their juniors. Not a few of their juniors shed tears. It is very hard to let go of people who are very close to us. Especially when they live under one roof. Every day we meet and be together. But the task of the seniors has to be in this pesantren. After this it's time for them to do their self-evidence. Applying all knowledge gained in social life.


“The plan is to continue where after this?”  Rayhan Arkana's father looked at his son. Right now, a large family is gathering at the main house.


"We want to continue our studies in the city of L well.” Arkana and Maher exchanged views giving codes.


“Eh. For example to Cairo, Yemen, Turkey or to London.” This time Abah or Mbah kung gave advice.


“No Mbah kung we prefer domestically. Education in L City is also good. There are also Al-Qur’an and Hadist.” education majors Maher gave an excuse.


“Ya is up to you. Whatever your decision as long as it is good we will definitely support.” Mbah Ti supported their decision.


“That Betul son, wherever you gain knowledge as long as it is carried out diligently and earnestly. The result will also definitely be good and successful.” Connect Assyfa Mother of Arkana with her gentle gaze.


“All that key is diligent and serious. Don't play games in finding knowledge. Science is a food source for our brain and heart. If we can not provide nutritious food intake for both. Then how will they be able to work well.” Laila Ummi Maher also gave advice.


“Any mother, Ummi we will definitely persevere and mean it. In order to be your pride and later be successful like father and Abi.” Answer Arkana with confidence. Everyone smiled seeing that their two sons had grown up with independent personalities. Arkana and Maher exchanged looks with meaningful smiles.


Elsewhere, when all the children are celebrating their graduation party with joy. This morning, a girl was sitting in the middle of a corner of the school. Accompanied by his loyal friend Jihan who is relentlessly nagging. Jihan felt very upset at her best friend's mother and half-sister. They can do as they please. Bad circumstances always befall his friend and make him feel sorry for him. But he can't do anything either. He can't fight his best friend's family.


It felt like Farah was resisting and resisting her mother's wishes. But at the moment he can't do much. The mother always threatened him with Papa's safety. Papa Farah, who suffered a stroke 3 years ago, is Farah's only strength. Since getting sick, no one has taken good care of their company. This resulted in their company going bankrupt. That's what mom always said to put pressure on Farah. Even mother never hesitated to tell Farah to work and make money. To meet their daily needs.


Farah's life is not as easy as a child's life in general. Since childhood he was often bullied by his half-brother. All day long she had to do housework like a maid. At first, Dad never knew that. The threat from her mother and step-sister made Farah never dare to tell all the truth. But when papa began to know their arbitrary deeds. Without anyone knowing the reason, papa suddenly fell ill. Shortly after that papa's condition continued to deteriorate and even now has a stroke. Can't move and get out of bed. Papa can only lie on the bed.


“Basic witch, son and mother alike. He likes to bully others. It's as if he's asking you to quit school. While his spoiled son was schooled in SMA favorites.” Jihan grumbled with regret.


“Already Jihan may indeed this has become my path. I'm sincere, God willing this is the best.” Farah calmed him down with great fortitude.


“I can't be as patient and calm as you are Far. If only there was a chance it felt like I wanted to mock them both.” Jihan still expressed her frustration.


“Do not macem-macem deh Han. You don't remember what happened to you and your family.” Farah reminded Jihan.


“They are indeed cruel people.” Jihan continued to remember the dark incident.


Exactly 4 years ago, when Farah and Jihan were in Grade 6 Elementary. At that time little Jihan tried to help Farah who continued to be oppressed and bullied by Gina the step-sister. Even Jihan's parents rebuked Farah's mother in order to tell Gina not to hurt Farah at school. Not thank you for being reminded. Farah's mother was angry and insulted them. Even Farah's mother also to damage their fields and fields. This caused them to fail their crops and suffer heavy losses. Since then no one has dared to go against Farah's mother. They could only help Farah secretly.
