"The last count didn't get here, yeah."

There was the cry of the upperclassman standing at the crossroads of the road to the mosque. While all santri nisa ran on the roadside line two by two. Santri straight back sprint knowing this is the last count, including me and Rina.

Mukena, prayer mats and the Qur'an have been held firmly so as not to fall. However, it was still not easy to run with a skirt like this. The uniform to the mosque today is a Malay dress. Tau yourself how to model a Malay skirt. Not to mention the flip-flops that are sometimes slippery even almost broken.

Tis’ ah

Assyria

It was almost like me and Lina were late to the courtyard of the mosque. Santri who ran behind me and Rina was hit by a twelve-part disciplinary intercept so it was definitely punished. The penalties here vary even though the type of offense committed is the same.

Each sentence given depends on the class brother who punishes. As for the punishment that is often given such as, the penalty of cleaning for several days, standing near the shaf santri rijal, writing or memorizing long surahs and then deposited, he said, wearing clothes with striking colors such as yellow and red, memorizing the asmaul husna and asmaun prophet, making a statement letter and wearing a nametag, etc, memorize Arabic and English vocabulary or ask for the signature of the chairman of the santri.

"We sit there, Sel," said Rina, pointing to the empty shaf nisa.

"Yok." Me and Rina held a prayer rug. "But, I wasn't in the dorm yet, Rin."

Rina sighed. "Where else was poured in his toilet. Yes, it's a little flick." Lina pulled my hand while running towards the toilet.

Done wudu me and Rina rushed back to the shaf because it would soon be poured out and the one who was late out of the toilet will get a punishment. The next activity after the implementation of magrib prayer is to form a group of perkelas tahfidz. For the tenth grade it was located on the second floor.

Eleventh grade mustami brother already sat in the class of each of his parts. Ready to teach or receive deposit. Each class forms three columns backward. Lina and I got a handsome and friendly mustami brother. Undoubtedly, almost the entire tenth grade had a crush on him, including me and Rina.

"Sell, that was really good Rezky." Rina came after depositing memorization to Brother Mustami. "So I kind of forgot that, uh the same he helped him continue to give his value is also not stingy."

"Fortunately, we got a mustami like him."

I went back to memorizing while waiting for the deposit turn, suddenly I accidentally looked towards santri rijal. I found Andra sitting at the very back of the class closest to the nisa line. Andra's class isn't there. Usually santri fight each other to get a line that is not close to the opposite sex, but Andra on the contrary. It seems like he is often at the end of the line.

"Basar ganjen man, looking out his saucy spread charm here and there," I sneered slowly and returned to see the Qur'an in my lap. "Astagfirullah, Sally. Can't say that."

Shortly thereafter, I went ahead for the deposit to Brother Rezky. "Hallo, Brother. I want to deposit Al-Imran's letters verses 1 to 12" I said as I sat in front of Rezky.

"OKAY. Please. Which memorization paper?"

I searched in the Qur'an and there was none. Looks like it's lagging behind. I turned to call Rina. Suddenly, looking back, Andra was standing behind the window of the mosque, raising her hand and shouting, "the spirit of Selina Mufida's rote."

Instantly everything looked.

"Where are you going to sit?" I looked at the empty chair in the cafeteria.

Tonight after the mosque, Rina and I ate in the cafeteria because they were tired of the dinner menu at the restaurant. As usual, the canteen is quite crowded. Especially the new students. The majority of them prefer to eat in a canteen whose food is better even though it will drain the pocket money. Usually, when you can not send from parents, do not want to eat food at home. The food there is also not bad, I just really like the orek tempe there.

Rina pointed at the seat in the back near the swarm of santri rijal. "There, yuk. There is no place anymore."

"No papa, deh."

"OKAY. But, let's not look at them."

Rina sat facing the swarm of santri rijal, while I sat back to them. I open a packet of rice with fried chicken side dishes and potatoes.

"Andra was funny, too, Cell. He is, isn't he, the guy? There will likely be many who have a crush on Andra tuh santri nisa."

I raised an eyebrow. "Yes he's like that. I knew him not long ago, Rin. My parents are the same old Andra's parents but I just knew Andra when I was here."

Lina laughed a little. "That's funny. Sampe on all looking. Haha. He likes you times, yeah, Cells."

I pinched Rina's hand. "Don't macem, deh."

Lina pain. "Yes, no. Ayok cepetan eat, tar kemaleman." Lina was busy.

"Who are you, Dra?"

"Seli the Andra Mah."

"Well yes, really. Where is the Andra really doyan ng Seli silverqueen."

Hearing my name being mentioned by some people in the back, I whispered to Rina, "who are we, Rin?"

Rina who was still busy chewing tried to answer, "why? You said don't look at them. Or you-."

"Suttt!!" I stopped Rina's words from trying to listen to their conversation.

"The ordinary man is the same as him. Beautiful, that's cute. Only the cave is not interested in him. He's not exactly the cave type. Gua thanks him silverqueen for something. The one you're on doesn't need to know the ales. Huhuh."

"Origin' don't play your son, Dra. Seli is so good that's the guy."

"Good man he. If he's good doesn't mean the cave has to have a crush, right? Then the same cave deket she is also because the mother of the cave who sent the cave guard her."

I looked up to hear that word. The food that will go into my mouth, I put it down. Although I don't know who santri rijal is behind me, but it's not wrong, behind me is Andra.

I exhaled many times hearing Andra's words. I'm not hurt because he doesn't like me because I don't like him either. What makes me sick is that she's friends with me just because of Umi Devi's request. My guess about her was wrong, I shouldn't be too close to Andra because our friendship wasn't hers.

"Sel, what's wrong with you? Is the food not consumed?" Lina looked at me in wonder.

The iced tea that was on the table I grabbed then gulped it down. "I'm full, Rin."

"OKAY. Go home, yuk. I'm done too."

I nodded then grabbed the rice packet and the iced tea glass. Throw it in the trash and leave immediately. So is Lina behind me.

"Cell, the one sitting behind us was Andra's gang, huh?"

"Not."

"Masa, anyway? I think I saw Andra among them."
