In the afternoon the pesantren cottage mosque has been crowded with pesantren residents who will perform magrib prayers. It is the Lord who becomes his faith
Completed the magrib prayer and the isya of the santri and santriwati scattered out of the mosque to immediately return to the dormitory
Aletha, Najwa, and Tari walk through Hasna, and Reva ddk. As Aletha passed by Ustadzah Hasna said, "Settor!" exclaims
Aletha did not flinch still stepping with her friends as if Aletha was paying attention to her ears. Hasna clucked in annoyance at him
From the other direction Kevin ran a little towards Aletha and from the opposite direction Yusuf also approached Aletha
"Assalamualaikum" greetings Kevin and Joseph in unison
Aletha scrunched her forehead and then fell, "Waalaikumsallam" said Aletha and her two friends
"Ustadz and Kevin can say hello?" fashion Dance
"Ah just a coincidence" said Yusuf staring cynically at Kevin
Kevin also returned Yusuf's cynical gaze, "Aletha you want to go to the dormitory huh?"
Aletha nodded, "Yes vin I want to go back to the hostel anyway?"
"there's something we need to obrolin tha this is important!"
"Ekhm! it's already night santri and santriwati can't meet even chat!" jusuf flat
Kevin glanced at Yusuf, "After a while!"
"Hem gim--"
"Can't! Aletha has to go back to the dorm if she wants to talk tomorrow in class!" resolutely
"The rich Ustadz Yusuf loves Aletha! but Kevin? kevin kaya also likes" the conscious inner Dance
"Well then, Mr. ustadz, kevin we say Assalamualaikum" said Najwa and went with Aletha and Tari
So Kevin and Joseph they cast a cynical look, "Does ustadz like Aletha?" point at Kevin with a probing look
Joseph looked up, "no!"
"Oh yeah? why can't I just talk to Aletha?"
"That's the rules of the pesantren! santri and santriwati should not meet face to face in a quiet place especially at night" said Yusuf
Kevin turned the lazy eyeball, "what will it be? okay then Malem must be sleeping, I have to meet Aletha!" inner Kevin
"Don't try to meet Aletha or other santriwati at 9pm over boarding school will give you a punishment to MARRY!"
Kevin swallowed his saliva heavily not expecting his Ustadz to know what he was thinking. But when he heard the word 'Nikah' his eyes immediately sparkled
"Haw? wow, not even spit into her husband Aletha" joked Kevin
Joseph glared at Kevin, "Don't try you!" remember Joseph and leave
****
"Lo why put on your own smile?" ask Aletha who is beside Tari
Dari realized that thinking of Kevin, Kevin is indeed a humorous and good person
"Some are drunk with love!" najwa Goda
Dance became a timid smile, "Your apaansih!"
Najwa and Aletha laugh at Dari's behavior, "Haha you like Kevin?"
Red Dance cheeks as Aletha asks the right thing, "emm how ya.."
"it's Tar if you like to say it!"
"Yes, said Najwa. Ngaku! do you like kevin?"
Dari's cheeks grew red, then nodded slowly, "Yes I like Kevin, but you guys diem yes do not report to Ustadzah or Ustadz what else is the same Kevin" said Tari
Najwa and Aletha looked at each other and laughed, "Haha cie you like Kevin?" aletha's laughter broke
"Well, why is Kevin handsome!" bela Dance
Deg
Aletha was silent with the question of Dance, not only feeling but indeed 'yes' because Kevin had already expressed his feelings
"That you don't feel?" ask Dance again
Aletha wavers and misbehaves, "Ah there's no way Kevin likes me, Kevin's my best friend so it's impossible if he demotes me. I'm going to graduate school and marry Kevin!" aletha is lying
"Huh gotta lie to me! if I'm honest like Tari then he's heartbroken" Aletha grumbled inwardly
Dari laughs like Najwa, "if you want Kevin to be your soul mate, you must pray tar for god to grant!" Najwa
Dance nodded steadily, "yes I have to pray! now what is it?"
"Eh tomorrow if this is already a mallem you want to go to the mosque alone?"
"But I can't wait to pray!" Kekeh dance wants to pray immediately
"have you prayed here first tar, but later we have been sleeping afraid that now Aletha denger prayer you must laugh without stopping" joked Najwa immediately followed by laughter by Aletha

The morning in the class was very crowded. Soon, Joseph and Ustadz Salman entered
"Assalamualaikum good morning!" sapa Yusuf
"Waalaikumsallam Good morning Mr. Ustadz" said all students
"Please Ustadz salman explain!" joseph whispered a little
Ustadz Salman nodded then took one step forward, "Children's Assalamualaikum. I just want to let you know that tomorrow and next Ustadz Yusuf cannot teach mathematics, and Ustadz Yusuf will be replaced with Ustadz Almira" said Ustadz Salman
The santriwati bowed down and Aletha too, Yusuf watched Aletha, Aletha seemed to dislike
"Ustadz why should Ustadz be replaced?" chirp Reva
Yusuf turned to Reva, "Ustadz Yusuf will move and not teach at this boarding school!" sahut Ustadz Salman made the whole class bow in lethargy
****
"Ustadz where are you going?" aletha asked Joseph
Aletha and Yusuf accidentally meet at the lake while returning home from school. Aletha always went to the lake after school to clear her mind
"You mean?"
"Yes, the math teacher was replaced, ustadz moved to work?" aletha
"Oh that's right I'm going to go and you don't miss me" Yusuf said
Aletha rolled her eyes lazily, "why should I miss Ustadz?"
"Do not know! I'm just saying don't miss me, I'll be back but maybe tomorrow"
Aletha looked ordinary but in her heart was very unwilling if her Ustadz left, "Have not gone back nor do you think!"
Joseph chuckled at Aletha's remark, "Well I won't go back it wants you not to lick the spit yourself, I know you must be heavy I live"
"Ustadz is too confident!"
"Haha calm me will not be long, after my duty is done I will return, I know you heavy I stay" seduced Yusuf made Aletha cheeks red
"Oh yes I hope you take care of yourself, I know your ex-boyfriend is still around here" said Yusuf
Aletha fell silent, "I can take care of myself no need to be so considerate!"
Joseph laughed again, "you are funny Aletha! you hide your worries, and your heavy heart I know you are worried about me about your ex-boyfriend, and you are heavy hearted because I live" Yusuf accused of increasingly making Aletha's cheeks red
"Ah I want to go back to the dorm" Aletha said nervously and left
"Assalamualaikum Aletha!" yusuf shouted
