The Heart of Rara

Chapter 17

"Bang" called Haikal when Al arrived in front of the pesantren mosque to perform ashar prayer.

Al turned his back, he looked at Haikal and asked, It seems that at this moment he really does not want to face or talk to anyone but his Rabbi, "What's the matter?"

"We need to talk" Haikal replied.

"Did you hear me?" al said, pointing his index finger up, "The call for us to pray immediately has reverberated, come in, there is nothing more important than bowing to him. We can talk about this later" Al patted Haikal on the shoulder and entered the mosque first.

"Excuse me Gus first yes" said Vano who passed with Devan in front of Haikal.

Haikal looked at the two coldly, then nodded his head in response.

"Gun, I want to talk to you" said Abah Zaid, now Al and Kiyai Zaid are in Ndalem pesantren.

"Oh yes Bah, a piece" Al confirmed the sarong and coffee and approached Kiyai Zaid who was sitting in the middle room chair, "What is Bah?"

"How about Rara? Is it okay, right?, that kid has started to change a lot or not?" ask Kiyai Zaid.

Al fell silent, he had to answer what?, "Abah actually....."

"Bah did not want to hear that the two of you are not okay, Abah hope you can be more patient with Rara, the woman's heart is soft very soft, if she is naughty but believe her heart is very soft. Rara only needs guidance not coercion, so you must always be patient in changing her, in the Lord, little by little the child will melt his heart" said Kiyai Zaid smiling and patting Al on the shoulder.

Al returned Kiyai Zaid's smile, he nodded in understanding, "Yes Abah, in shea Allah Al will always be patient and please Abah pray also so that Al can better understand Rara's nature, pray also that we may soon be in general."

"Definitely son, Abah always wishes you the best, for your sister too.

"Yes bah, Syukron"

"Waiyak nak" replied Kiyai Zaid, "Is he not having your same memorization deposit today?"

Al shook his head slightly, "There is no bah, maybe in the next few days there, Al still give Rara time to memorize it more" replied Al with forced to lie.

"Oh yes already, there sleep and do not forget to do sunnah-sunnah before going to bed first, especially ablution.

"Yes Bah"

At 05.00 all santriwan and santriwati had just finished performing the morning prayers with Al as his imam.

Some santriwan and santriwati have returned to their respective dormitories, but there are also those who still settle in the mosque for tadarusan until sunrise maybe until around 06.00.

Al came with a bunch of santriwan did not forget with Devan and Vano, the three of them did not follow the padausan because before the morning prayers were carried out already started.

"Bang" called Haikal when Al had just put on his sandals.

"Gus" said Devan and Vano politely greeting Haikal? slightly bent his body, not forgetting the two hands he held in front.

"We need to continue the talks that Maghrib had delayed" Haikal said to the point.

"We're talking in the backyard, Vano Devan help the rest of the students cook."

"Yes Gus well"

"Follow brother" Al ordered and left Ridwan standing behind him.

In the backyard, Al was already standing in front of Ridwan with the hand he held in the back, "Say" Al ordered.

"Athara" said Haikal, hearing the girl's name when Al turned her back, he knew something was wrong with the girl and her sister. A few months to know Rara, Al knew that Haikal knew the girl at the beginning.
