Elyas



Mohammed Elyas. Male – well-bodied and athletic. Oriental face that looks shining because it may often be exposed to the water of ablution. He graduated from a famous boarding school in Java. He was the son of a kiayi in a village in west java.


But since his father died, Elyas decided to return home after completing his education in the boarding school.


After returning from the boarding school located in the east of Java island, Elyas decided to go to college. Luckily, he received a scholarship while he was in college. So the results of his part-time work he can use to finance a day's life – days himself and the umi. While in college, Elyas took a part-time job at a well-known WO in his town.


After the death of the father, and after his return from the boarding school, residents gave him the confidence to take care of the mosque and become a teacher in his village in place of the father.


Now, he lives alone with the umi in a simple house, but looks comfortable to live in.


“ Yas !! “ call the umi.


“ Yes, umi. “ said Elyas who is still in front, is fixing his favorite trail motorbike.


“ Want to magrib. The shrimp used to pick up the motor. “


“ Yes, umi. It's also finished. Just wash your hands. “ elyas rose from his seat and walked to the water tap in front of the house.


“ Shower sana gih. “ umi decree after Elyas finished hand washing.


“ Yes, mi. Short again also have to pray in the mosque. “ said Elyas. “ Elyas enter first yes umi. Want to shower, keep ready – ready to mosque. “ umi nods answer Elyas.


Adzan magrib. Elyas, who had finished with his bathing ritual, immediately said goodbye to Umi and went to the mosque. As usual, Elyas will be in the mosque until the time Isya is finished to teach najai children – kampung children. Or just give tausiyah to the citizens.


After praying Isya in the mosque, Elyas stepped back to his home on foot.


“ Assalamu’alaikum, ustadz Elyas. “ greet a girl who happens to cross paths with him.


“ Waalaikum greetings, Ratna. “ say hello back to Elyas with a bright smile.


Ratna Ranggih, the youngest daughter of Lurah sir. Faced quite beautiful, always close the aura well, and always speak softly. The girl who was able to thrill the heart of a Muhammad Elyas.


“ Just got home from mosque, A’ ? “ ask Ratna.


Elyas nodded, “ Yes. Just finished imitating. “


“ Sorry A’, Ratna was not participating in the congregation at the mosque. Just returned from home pakde. “ said Ratna while embarrassed – shy.


“ Oh, from the sister's house ? Aa’ guess weekly night out. “ joked Elyas.


“ Aa’ likes to joke. Where are the weekly nights or A ? “ asks Ratna while looking down. “ In the teachings of our religion can not be called dating, or dating. “ he continued to say shame – shy.


Elyas' heart was like fireworks. Flowering and exploding – letup. He is happy and happy, knowing the fact that Ratna has not been close to anyone.


“ Yes .. Who knows someone has invited you ta’arufan and he invites you to walk. “ Elyas still wants to pry further.


Ratna shook her head while lowering her gaze. “ No one has not been convinced ta’arufan, A’. Maybe because Ratna tea is not beautiful. “ kekehnya.


“ You are beautiful, really. “ said Elyas without thinking long. Ratna raised her gaze to look at Elyas for a while before she looked down again. He was quite surprised by Elyas's praise. Her face flushed red, her heart flowered – flowers.


“ Sorry, A’, Ratna back first. I was waiting for my mother at home. Lagian, in tandem with a non-muhrim like this, can cause slander. “ said Ratna while hiding her nervousness.


“ Oh, yes. Sorry, I even make sure you chat. “ said Elyas.


Ratna nodded with a smile. “ Assalamu’alaikum, A’. “


“ Waalaikum greetings. “ Elyas looked at Ratna's passing back while smiling faintly. “ Perfect labourer candidate. “ murmured while chuckling. He then resumed his steps towards home with a heart that flowers – flowers.


“ Assalamu’alaikum. “ sapanya when entering the house.


“ Waalaikum greetings. “ reply umi. “ How did you just get home ? Where did you stop by first ? “


“ Let's go on to the dining table. Dinner is already umi readyin. “ invite umi.


Elyas nodded, then followed after he took off his copy and put it on the cupboard.


“ Yas, when are you thinking about your future ? “ ask umi in between – between them enjoying their dinner.


“ Now, Elyas is also pursuing a career for a bright future, umi. “ replied Elyas.


“ Not that, umi meant. “ Umi Titin frowning and sahuti kekhan by Elyas. Not understanding what Umi means. But he just wanted to joke.


“ Umi tuh bosen, tau. At home, you're just the same. Want a new atmosphere. Especially the cry of a baby. This house must be crowded. Not as empty as a gini grave. “


“ Umi …. “


“ When did you get married, Yas ? Umi is getting older. Cook yes, you do not allow umi to take care of your child – tomorrow ? “ cut Umi.


“ Umi is still young. Still pretty, still pretty. Elyas sure, umi will definitely take care of children – children Elyas until children – children Elyas mature later. “ entertain Elyas.


He is actually lazy to discuss this issue. “ Lagian umi, Elyas is not too old to say old virgin. “ kekehnya.


“ You are almost 27 years old, Yas. I'm old to not admit. “ ledek Umi.


“ Ck ! Still young, umi. “ says Elyas.


“ Anyway, umi wants, you married this year. No – years next year anymore. Year after year, the answer is the same. God willing, next year, umi. “ umi Titin imitates the Elyas style of speech. “ Umi bosen dengernya. “ he continued.


“ How to do it, umi ? No one wants to be with Elyas. Who is Elyas married to ? “


“ You are the one who is selling expensive. If you want to marry, whichever girl you want, you will definitely be willing to do ta’aruf, Yas. “ Elyas does not answer. He even finished his dinner. Umi immediately cleaned up the rest of their dinner.


“ How is Ratna doing ? Did umi come to Pak lurah's house to ask Ratna for you ? tomorrow too, umi is ready. “ said umi back.


“ I don't know, umi. Elyas is still a lame. “


“ Gamang why ? Ratna's a good, beautiful, Muslim child. You like it too, right, is he ? “ ask umi.


“ Like the hell, umi. But …. Elyas minder umi. Ratna tea from the family. While we ... what are we, umi. “ sigh Elyas.


“ Aren't we all the same in front of God ? The treasure is just a deposit. “ said umi.


“ I don't know umi. Let Elyas think more maturely. “


“ Don't think too late. “


“ God willing, umi. “ replied Elyas. “ Oh yes umi, until forgot. Elyas has a promise with Elyas during the pesantren. He's in town today. “ Elyas soon got up from his seat.


“ Don't night – night home. Umi alone at home. “ order umi when Elyas is ready with his leather jacket.


“ Yes umi. “


“ Therefore, your spit brought umi son-in-law, let umi have her friend at home. “ as always umi.


“ God willing, umi. “ replied Elyas soberly. “ Assalamu’alaikum, umi. “ saying goodbye to Elyas while kissing the back of the hand of the umi.


“ Waalaikum greetings. Heart – hearts on the road. “ order umi and Elyas nods.


Then Elyas took his dirt bike out of his yard, to meet his old friend who has now become a big ustadz in east Java. And coincidentally, today, his friend there is a call to fill the study in a sub-district not far from where he lives.
