MOON IN PESANTREN
The reply exists
Magrib this time I will deliberately perform congregational prayers at the mosque because I have no scheduled duty in the dormitory. Boarding managers on duty usually perform congregational prayers in their respective dormitories because we have to supervise the dormitory, fearing that there are maling or santri who hide in the room because they do not want to follow tahfidz activities. In addition, we also check the cleanliness of each room and keep in the management room of the dormitory.
I went with Rina, my 10th grade friend who now works in the takmir section of the mosque. Right now I was sitting in front of the takmir room while looking at the santri who had arrived. They brought prayer equipment, plastic for sandals and some students brought bottles of drinking water. It really reminds me of when I was in 10th and 11th grade.
"Cell, is that wudhu?" Lina came from inside the takmir and sat down next to me.
"Udah."
"OK deh. Help me to finish my class. I want azaan," asked Rina while pulling my hand.
"Yes-yes." I followed her to the ladies' bathroom to shout at the underclassmen to speed up her wudhunya because the azaan would be echoed soon.
Wahid,
Itsnani,
Tsalatya,
As Rina was counting and the underclassmen began to quickly enter the mosque, I accidentally saw one man and woman sitting together in the mosque garden chair. When viewed from the back of the man it looks like it's Andra. It just so happened that the man turned his head and it was true that he was Andra. So who is the woman with the bright red veil.
The vira?
I looked towards Rina. "Rin, I'm going first to Dalem ya." I went straight to shaf nisa after Lina nodded.
The Commat has been proclaimed. All santri stood up and ready to perform prayers magrib berjama'ah after a few part of takmir tidak tidy up the ranks of the santri.
When the priest began to read al-Fatihah I was still busy wearing a mukena. If I hear this priest's voice, I remember the voice of my favorite priest in 10th grade. His voice is very similar. Not wanting to miss the rakaa'at, I immediately started my prayer.

...
Amin Ya Rabbal Alamiin. The priest finished reciting the do'a after the magrib prayer.
Some santri directly perform Ba'diyah magrib 2 rakaat prayer and others are chatting ria with friends, some are sleeping because they feel tired after the move today or sleepy, he said, and some are busy folding their heads.
"Let's read the evening do'a together" the priest who stood in the pulpit asked.
Bismilbornrahmanirrahim's.
اَللَّهُمَّ بِكَ أَمْسَيْنَا، وَبِكَ نَحْيَا، وَبِكَ نَمُوْتُ، وَإِلَيْكَ النُّشُوْرُ
Allhumma bika amsaina, wa bika nahya, wa bika namutu, wa ilaikan nusyur.
Abu Hurairah RA narrated the prayer of Prophet Muhammad SAW which was read during the afternoon as quoted by Imam An-Nawawi, Al-Adzkar.
"OKAY. All students are welcome to occupy their respective tahfiz groups. The first 8th grade is pardoned." The 8th class immediately disperse from the prayer line and occupy the place of tahfiznya which is at the back of the nisa shaf and so on.
The mosque remains conducive because of the 12th class of takmir sections that always manage the santri well even though the santri here are many. Probably about 1500 students who are now in the large and magnificent mosque located in my boarding school.
The 12th-grade Santri sat on the back porch of the mosque for tahfiz respectively, some were chatting or reading books after reading the Qur'an.
"Eh, who is that? Like from before the magrib prayer they were there mulu?" asked one of my classmates when I looked at the garden behind the mosque.
While many looked in that direction, so did I. I saw Andra and Vira still sitting on the garden chair that turned our back to us.
"That's Vira's chick, right?"
"Yes. The vira."
"It's nothing we're mah. Going out until morning is up. They know that dating is a sin. But, why should you date in a mosque?"
"Take a. That would be a bad example for a classmate here. Shame on us as 12th grade, tahfiz time even dating. Astagfirullah."
"Who's the guy? Kayak Andra, huh?"
"Yes like Andra."
"Cell, it's Andra, right? How can you be with Vira?"
I just smiled bitterly. Confused to answer how. My classmates mostly knew that I was close to Andra because I was friends from the beginning of entering here so they must have asked me about this.
"Maybe they'll be necessary again" I replied.
"Yes yes. We continue our activities."
They finally did not talk about Andra anymore. I'm sick of hearing what my friends say about Andra to me. They always ask or report to me if Andra is alone with Vira. Really, I don't know anything about their relationship.
Santri insyallah already understood that courtship is an act prohibited by God. But that's human. Sometimes it is negligent because it has been lulled by love, lulled by the air *****.
Even if there is security or teachers who see santri rijal and nisa being alone without any interest will immediately warn and expel them, but back again to ourselves. Security and teachers do not exist at all times and may be justified because there is a duty, but Allah is All-Knowing. Whatever we do, there will be a payoff.
In the Qur'an, it is said, "Whoever does good with a weight of zarrah will see (reply) him. And whoever commits a crime as heavy as Zarrah, he will see (reply)." (Q.S Al-Zalzalah: 7-8).
