My Idaman Ustadz

A confession

As usual, the breakfast began.

Has the whole santri been gathered? If so, let's have breakfast. Ustadz Fauzan.

Sudanese.. Said the santri.

Mr. Ustadz, Alice and her friends are not around. Nazwa is taken in by Zara's roommate Alice and her friends.

Where'd they? Tanya Fauzan scrunched her Eyebrows.

Didn't know Mr. Ustadz, just as Nazwa and I entered the room, we ran into those who were about to get out, I thought they were headed this way. Zara explained.

Yes, we'll start breakfast. About them let me take care of them. Before breakfast, do not forget to read the prayer. Fauzan.

All breakfast together. Fauzan's thoughts were on Alice and her friends especially Alice.

The food is delicious and we can freely choose the menu. I miss lontong vegetable. Manda said heboh

Samaa. Sisky chimed in dramatically

So much so you guys. But samaaaa. Alice says. Then they laughed together.

After breakfast was over, they went home on foot because it was not too far from the pesantren.

Eehh that's the father of the motor why. Said Alice

Samperin cuss. Sisky said then the three of them approached the father.

Why the bike sir? Ask Manda

Don't know, suddenly the motor died. Said the father.

Have you checked the gasoline sir? Ask Sisky

Already neng, there is gasoline. I want to go to the village hall for a meeting.

Let me see the motor. Said Alice.

Mango neng..

You calm down. My friend is a problem engine. Manda.

But really neng? Ask dad

No sir don't beat him. Answer Alice. Then his eyes glanced at Manda and Sisky. Mending you guys help me.

Ok..

Skippy

Thank God the bike is on, thank you. I am the head of the village (lurah) in this village. If there's anything, don't talk to your father. The father's house is also not too far from here later sometime stop by. Said mr. Lurah

Yes sir equally. Said Alice

You're pesantren, yeah, but it doesn't seem to be real here. Ask mr. lurah.

Yes sir, we are from Jakarta and are studying in this pesantren. Answer Sisky

Oh pantesan boy. Yaseudah pardon me first. Thanks again. Said Mr. Lurah passing away.

Yaahh lo face on dirty tuh haha said Manda

Lo also tuh especially Alice cumang-cemong hahaha replied Sisky laughing heartily. The three of them laughed

Arriving at the pesantren. Sir open the door.

Where you guys been?

The security guard didn't see our faces spouted like gini?

Who is at the end of what?

Exasperate. Sisky

Hadeh hadeh the neng do not lie, sin neng.

Yaudah asked me the same lurah. Answer Alice.

If you have brought pak lurah means really. Yasudah entered neng, earlier ustadz Fauzan said that you have returned home later tell ustadz Fauzan in his room.

Yes sir but we take a shower first. Uajr Alice passed away followed by Manda and Sisky.

Skippy

Alice and her friends meet Fauzan.

Why did you get out of this boarding school without permission? Ask Fauzan

Alice and her friends were silent.

Why are you getting here you guys are getting wild?!

Many violated the rules of pesantren especially you Alice.

Suddenly Alice looked up at Fauzan.

I heard this morning your attitude is disrespectful and you don't want to notice it. Fauzan told Alice.

Sisky and Manda look at Alice's expression then clasped her hands in fear that Alice should lose control.

Alice took a breath. "sorry". A word from Alice. His heart was furious why everyone cornered Alice.

Fauzan who heard it went silent as he observed Alice's red face restraining anger.

You two go back to where each of you will have a manager who will punish the three of you. Alice came with me. Fauzan's words passed followed by Alice.

Fauzan took him by the lake, an area next to the pesantren a little far away.

Fauzan folded his arms to look at Alice, who was reluctant to look at him.

Anything you want to explain Alice? Ask Fauzan

Wh-wh-what for? I think it's useless, when everyone cornered such a gur it means that jaudah is what happened. Alice said.

Alice..

Wh why? Why everyone can only find my fault, only I can find it. Is it because of my bad image? Everyone can change and I try again. Said Alice revealing her grin.

If Alice had been lawful to him, Fauzan would have loved to embrace her.

I knew I was wrong that night, I apologized. But why is the evil ustadz ignoring me so much?!

Fauzan's focus was on Alice's last sentence.

Are you bothered by my attitude? Ask Fauzan amusedly. His heart warmed, could his feelings be reciprocated.

Alice was aware of his words.

Noddy..

Alice..

I told you not to.. Alice said grimly hiding her reddened face and cursing her mouth.

Alice please don't repeat yesterday and today. Fauzan

Yes, especially today my attitude is not polite with your fiancee ustadz? Relax, it will not be repeated. Iexcuse you. Alice said hoarsely and passed but her steps came to a halt as Fauzan called out to her.

Alice, I love you. Fauzan said it with great courage. His heart beat faster as well as his heart fretted at the thought of the matchmaking.

Alice still turned her back on Fauzan. He cried without a voice, happy and wounded. For what Fauzan expressed his feelings if he had been betrothed to someone else made him even more hurt.

I fought in front of my parents again. If you have the same feelings that I feel, please change and we fight together. Fauzan reassured Alice because Fauzan saw Alice's trembling back holding back tears.

Ustadz why are you talking to me. You have the perfect fiancee. We are different from everything. Even though my feelings are the same as yours, I will keep these feelings to myself. I don't want to be an actor. Said Alice hoarsely.

We are made of the same element. There is no difference in every human being. You don't have to do anything, just change into a better person. Let me fight for you.

Alice was silent..

Alice please turn around and look at me.

Alice remained silent on Fauzan's back

Alice..

Alice turned her eyes directly to meet Fauzan's eyes. There is love and earnestness.

I know our current position is not good, the situation is also complicated. Please believe me. Do you accept me? Ask Fauzan earnestly.

His eyes collided with Alice and Fauzan found the answer without having to say from Alice's lips. Then Fauzan smiled. A sweet and annoying smile makes Alice pursed her lips and made Fauzan laugh. A beautiful laugh was heard in Alice's ear. And Alice smiled. The sweet smile that Fauzan had seen.
