MINUTES OF LONGING
The Tough Angel of Pesantren
Beautiful parasites can always make people amazed. However, a beautiful face alone will not be enough to guarantee a happiness. He must also have a good and sincere heart. Especially equipped with good temperament and faith in his heart. That way no one would be able to refuse to admire him. So do not be fooled by the beauty of the face. Look deeper into his heart. Then you will find the true truth about her. It is not just a lie hidden behind its image._ MAHER
*****
The arrival of Maher and Arkana in Al Amin boarding school was able to be in the spotlight. Especially the santriwati and some young adults. Who wouldn't admire the strangeness of their face. Especially with the good and super soft temperament they have. It's not just the women who praise them. The men also praised them, they looked like perfect men. This is what often bothers Maher and Arkana. They don't like being the center of attention. They feel uncomfortable with all of that.
Towards the magrib Maher and Arkana to the mosque want to follow every santri activity there. Like the previous agreement, they will stay like santri. Then they will also follow every activity that is there. Not all activities they can participate in. But they still behave like santri. Rather than their status spread out and eventually make them respected. They chose to agree to the terms given by Kiyai Hamid. About what activities can be followed.
“Try to see the new santri, his good looks. Already handsome sholeh, duh.com complete package anyway. I want one to be my husband.” Said one of the students from a distance.
“Huss... be careful when you talk. If it is heard by the manager or the section of the child and security can run out you get the law. Anyway I heard they were in college.” His friend replied, remembering while whispering.
“It seems like they are not ordinary people like us either. I saw Kang Adam and Kang Farid pick them up. In fact they were greeted directly by Mr. Kiyai and Bu Nyai.” Sahut another friend.
“Can be so too, it is reinforced with those given the dalem room. You know that the dalem room is specifically for administrators and some teachers. While they just came today and immediately occupied the dalem room. Is it possible that they are still close relatives of Mr Kiyai?” santriwati asked first increasingly curious.
“It's enough gossip, already adzan tuh if until late there we will be noted religious section. Indeed you want to be punished and fined.” Another friend accelerated his way to the mosque. They all shook their heads, then quickly followed the fast pace of the friend who left first.
In another corner, some students also talked about Maher and Arkana. Just like the santriwati, they discussed the identity of the two. The same suspicions and excuses became the reinforcement of their beliefs, if Maher and Arkana were special people. But they dare not discuss further. However, it is closely related to the Dalem and Pak Kiyai's family. So they choose to dampen suspicion and kusuk shoes that exist among the santri.
“Why did you guys stare at our freaks?” ask Arkana who is starting to feel uncomfortable.
“The name is also we are new here. They must be curious about us. Just ignore them.” Maher replied casually.
“Otherwise the santriwati, they keep staring at us. There are even some who can't close their mouth.” Arkana occasionally notices the surroundings.
“You still have time to pay attention to santriwati.” Sahut Maher hugged Arkana's shoulder and pulled it a little hard.
“Douh, sick tofu Brother. Not so, but their view was very strange. I know for a fact that they are fascinated by my brother's good looks. Look they're still looking here. Many beautiful lo Kak.” Arkana replied, teasing Maher while looking at him and raising his eyebrows.
“Clean your head, remember we are here for important purposes. Don't look and turn.” Maher tapped down Arkana's head. Trying to resuscitate his cousin's sister who often thinks incoherently.
“Ouch!! What a cruel thing you are to me, sister.” Answer Arkana put on a face. Maher ignored him, he brought Arkana immediately into the mosque.
When Maher and Arkana became the center of attention in his new place, Afshin managed to make the name of Darul Iman pesantren owned by Kiyai Iqbal. Once again he won the gold medal in the provincial archery championship. It immediately made it viral and was praised by many people. Not only because of his skill to pass the Srikandi arrow. But his face was also in the spotlight. In fact he also earned the nickname ‘Bidadari Tangguh from Pesantren’ from his fans.
“Dad…. Moms…. See brother Afshin famous now.” Malik ran from his room. He showed me an article about his brother's victory in his play. Malik looks so happy and proud of his brother.
"Rightly dear sister is now known to many people.” Answer Annisa.
“Wah…. My sister is great. I have to tell Fiya and Nada immediately. Tomorrow we go to the boarding house, Dad. Malik wants to congratulate brother.” Pinta Malik with her big smile. Rendy smiled and nodded.
“Iya tomorrow we're all there. We surprise big brother when he returns to the boarding school tomorrow.” Rendy agreed. Malik is very happy, even though he is an adult. But sometimes he will be very spoiled to his family. Especially with Afshin's sister. So even with Afshin, he had been spoiling Malik since childhood. However, Malik can turn into a responsible teenager and protect his brother when Afshin is in danger.
“Eh. Brother Afshin made a call vidio.” Annisa said as her phone rang.
“Mana Mom, let Malik lift.” Malik is excited. Then he quickly reached for Annisa's phone. With his cheerful and exclamations, Malik's voice left Afshin aghast in shock. Malik was the first to congratulate and take pride in Afshin. This time Afshin wanted to express his gratitude to both parents and the whole family. It was thanks to do’a and their support that Afshin could become what it is today.
In order to show the greatness of Afshin, Adnan deliberately sent some photos and vidio when Afshin won a medal on the Wa grub. Which consists of Maher Dkk. Adnan did participate in assisting Afshin in the championship. So that he can get all the documentation of Afshin's struggle from the beginning to the medal.
After receiving the notification, the grub became very crowded. Even Maher and Arkana were there. They congratulated and gave Afshin a lot of praise. While Afshin the prima donna is busy vidio call with his family. So he has not been able to see and read all the messages that come in his phone.
In the vidio sent by Adnan, it is clear how tough Afshin is. Afshin looks really cool when aiming. Even he had an almost perfect accuracy tuned his spin. The arrows always dart right at the target point or just miss one to two lines. Afshin does deserve to be referred to as ‘BIDAFROM TANGGUH OF PESANTREN’.
