Rasidha returned to class with a new lesson, he felt like he had enough of memorization today. He immediately packed the books scattered on the chairs and ran to avoid being late for the next lesson. He could have asked for special treatment to his uncle, but he did not do and continued the same learning period with his classmates who still survive there, there are some who are married, too, and also those who have worked after completing higher education.
"Where have you been?" asked Elis who was very curious.
"I go to the park, memorize."
"Aren't you interested in continuing S2 and S3? Especially your family from a well-off family." Said Neneng who was actually very envious of the life of Rasidha which he thought was prosperous and also prosperous. Without them knowing, if he is not the biological child of the two parents who care for him.
"I'm very interested, but for now I don't feel like it. Maybe next year," said Rasidha who also could not ascertain the way of life in the future.
"Hem, so. Oh yeah, next week the pesantren will hold an event." Said Elis who gave the information.
"Event?" Rasidha frowned, not knowing about it, he was very curious and waited for Elis' next words.
"Annual ceremony, there will be kyai, ustadz, and also gus who meet. It's the same as keeping it unbroken. But, I consider it a gift," interrupted Neneng who began to fantasize.
"Gift?"
"Of course it's a gift, maybe my soul mate's one of them." Neneng always dreamed of being able to marry one of the men who entered the ranks of pesantren.
"Aamiin's." Rasidha smiled and prayed if Neneng's dream came true. "There is no way that santriwati will be present, there are many adam."
"Indeed not, but we will be liburkan and also help the khadimah prepare food dishes with large portions of the cauldron." Elis.
Rasidha smiled, he paid little attention to the matter of the show, as he focused on the lesson. "Of course, we're in a lesson. Do you want the white chalk thrown in?"
"Huh, you're right."
Now Rasidha and his two friends who are very familiar focus when the lesson will begin. As if the lessons written in Arabic made him very interested, what he liked most was reading the yellow book, let alone the distinctive aroma of the book.
Finally the lesson today was finished very well, Rasidha immediately packed the books and returned to the dormitory. Along the way, he recalled the face of the foster father who killed both biological parents very fiercely and also cruelly. Hoping not to meet the Israeli army is the biggest trauma. "O Allah, keep the servant away from those who intend to harm, amiin."
Someone hugged him from behind, Rasidha was very surprised and saw who did it. "Ayna, you surprised me." It was her who was staring at the young girl next to her.
"Yes sorry, why are you daydreaming?" asked Ayna who was very curious.
"It's nothing."
"Oh yes Brother, I met my father and asked us to go home. He said something was being talked about," exclaimed Ayna who reported.
"Is this important?"
"It seems so, let alone uncle Zaid and Holy aunt also came. Well, of course with Azzam."
"Eh, why is it so sudden. What's up?"
"Okay, I don't know either."
Rasidha was very curious what made his two adoptive parents come to the boarding school. "Why is this so sudden? I just came here. Are you and mom going to pick me up?" he murmured in his heart while guessing what really happened.
"Hem." Rasidha stepped out his legs to arrive immediately, very curious about the purpose of his two adoptive parents who suddenly came.
"Assalamu'alaikum." Rasidha and Ayna said compactly, seeing that everyone had gathered in one room.
"Wa'alaikumsalam's chat. Come inside!" they welcomed the arrival of two girls wearing white veils.
Rasidha did not know anything about the purpose of his parents coming, glancing at his uncle and aunt in turn. "Sorry, what's going on?" he said he dared to ask.
However, everyone simply fell silent while waiting for the command of one of the people who requested the meeting to be held.
The atmosphere was so silent without anyone interested in opening a sound, an aura of tension could be felt all around. "Something you and I want to say, it's very important." Suci looked at her daughter with a serious look on her face, further straining the atmosphere.
"I don't understand, what do you want to say and bring everyone together?"
"Azzam and Ayna, you guys come out first yeah, it's an adult discussion." Said Aisyah who brought her son and nephew to stay away, not wanting to hear one bad word that would be heard later.
Saints clasped her husband's hand very tightly, as if giving strength as a wife. "Honest answer, what's your reason for going to the pesantren?"
Rasida fell silent and turned his gaze in another direction, he could not look into the eyes of the mother who began to tear. "To learn." Slowly flowed.
"If that's the truth, look me in the eye, let's stay!" resolute Sacred.
Rasidha tried to dare himself to look at the mother's eyes tightly, just three seconds and return to look the other way.
"Did you teach lying, honey? Come on, look me in the eye for ten seconds!" force the Saints to make Rasidha cornered.
"My eyes are dusting" elak Rasidha rubbed his eyes.
Suci approached her daughter and sat next to her, staring at the beautiful eyes of the Palestinian girl. "Mom knows you lied, seventeen years we were together, son. Even I know why you came here, is it because of your father?"
"No" said Rasidha, who still does not acknowledge.
"No?" the Holy Word introgates his daughter like a policeman.
"No, I left purely because I was studying."
"Don't weigh the scales in the afterlife, son. You know, you were outside the room and you heard our conversation. The slightly open door also makes matters more complicated, you see your foster father's face."
"Yes, I see and hear everything. That's my reason for being here, I just want to avoid the facts and make peace with the situation. If only I hadn't passed in front of Mom and Dad's door, I regretted it." Rasidha said that he was crying, not blaming his adoptive father, but he who accidentally saw also heard.
Zaid who lowered his head with tears, slowly opened the turban that had been covering his face. Blue eyes and the same face as the one who wiped out both of Rasidha's biological parents.
Rasidha could not control himself, his anger spreading very quickly when he saw clearly the perpetrator who was so ruthless slaughtering his two biological parents. "Killer.you murderer. Please hide me, get rid of him!" his extremely hysterical strangulation made everyone in the same room immediately utter an Istighfar. While Zaid cried regretting his actions in the past, a wound that was deep enough and still imprinted in the heart of his eldest son.
Rasidha could not control himself, he was like a trance when the murderous face of his parents who still imprinted until now, causing a deep trauma. "Hide me or he'll kill me" his shriek shakes violently, his face deathly pale.
