The Light of Love Salma

Prince Ummi

"Mbok, introduce this is Tari and this is Salma, they are both the ones who will help Mbok from tomorrow," Ummi introduced Tari and Salma to Mbok Yem who is in charge and in charge of the canteen.

"Sore Mbok, introduce my name Tari, hopefully we can work together Mbok," said Tari introduced himself while kissing Mbok Yem's hand.

"I'm Salma Mbok, please guide him," this time it was Salma's turn to introduce himself.

"Well, Mbok will be able to make two beautiful cooking friends like this," said Mbok Yem with a faint smile that emanated on his face that began to wrinkle at the age of eating.

"Sure Mbok, we are passionate people at work, so Mbok Yem don't worry! as long as there is Me and Salma all must be well resolved," said Tari eagerly.

"Your spirit is good, defend it!" said Mbok Yem who looks familiar with Tari forgetting Ummi who is still standing between them.

"Khem, then let Ummi show you in the parts of Ummi's house, who knows Ummi needs your help or you are interested in living there," invite Ummi who was directly participated by Salma and Tari.

Ummi invited Tari and Salma around to see some corners of Ummi's house, ranging from the kitchen, living room family room and the side yard of the house that is commonly used by Ummi and Abah to relax, the place is quite closed because it is surrounded by a wall with a small gate similar to the door in front of the left side of the yard, although not too broad but enough to relax or put some motorcycles.

"Sorry, Ummi, since we came here we have not seen Prince or Princess Ummi, has Ummi had a child?" Dari can no longer hold her curiosity, since he came to see no Ummi children at all, even Tari had thought if Ummi and Abah did not have a child.

Ummi who heard Dance's question immediately smiled, he again stepped into the house, precisely into the family room, Ummi stepped closer to the closet opening a closet large enough not a closet, but more precisely the place to put the television and there is a small cupboard on the right and left side of the storage of goods.

"He was my only son, but God tested us with his presence, the son we should have relied on and hoped to continue this pesantren, but instead prefer to go and live in another place that he thinks is suitable and in accordance with him, but we never stopped praying that one day he would get his guidance and come back here to be our son who we used to be." Ummi hugged the picture frame that was invisible to Salma and Tari, because the position of the frame was now facing Ummi.

"Sorry, Ummi," Lirih Tari with an expression of guilt for asking wrongly.

"Sorry for what?" Ummi Sahut.

"I'm sorry that I asked something I shouldn't have asked and Ummi was saddened by it" replied Tari.

"Here you go, Ummi no problem, maybe we are destined to meet because of this, now Ummi is no longer lonely because there are you guys on Ummi's side," said Ummi with a smile and then save the picture frame back in the hug.

Actually, Tari is still curious about the figure told by Ummi, how not curious Tari felt if the son of Ummi was really stupid, he already had a complete family and a luxurious life, he already had a family, but instead he chose to go away everything he should be able to enjoy. But Tari knew enough to not dig deeper about Ummi's only son, he preferred to be quiet as Salma said.

"Silence Dance! don't ask what you shouldn't ask" whispered Salma to Tari who got the nod in response.

"You can go back to your room and get acquainted with the other members of the room, ba'da maghrib come back here! help Ummi prepare the goods that will be given time tahlil later," Ummi's decree was directly followed by both.

Dari and Salma stepped together into the room that Ummi had chosen for them. In the room there are already several members of the room who are busy with their respective activities.

"Salma and Mbak Dance?" greet a santri when he sees Salma and Tari entering the house.

"Yes, who is it?" sahut Tari with a strange look, because he had not been acquainted with the santri tmyang in the room but already no one recognized him.

"Deliver Ma'am, My name is Ratna, I'm the chairman of the room here, and Ummi has left you with me here, come in!" santri replied that it turned out to be named Ratna.

"Ratna, I'm sleepy, can you show me a place to rest?" dance Chirps.

"Sorry Ma'am Tari, in the boarding school it is forbidden to sleep in the afternoon, how about I take it to the bathroom? it's late afternoon and the bath time is running out" suggested Ratna.

"How does it mean, Mrs Ratna?" salma asked who was now confused by Ratna's words.

"Here we can not immediately bathe and linger in the bathroom, as well as our time in the bathroom was limited to five in the afternoon, the rest we can not bathe again," Ratna explained what had been recorded as rules that must be obeyed.

"Why could that be?" sahut Tari who has a habit of bathing after Maghrib arrived.

"Because after ba'da maghrib we have activities that teach the Qur'an according to their respective abilities," Ratna explained the reason for the ban on bathing above five in the afternoon.

"If we come again what month? right we can not teach," Tari still denied Ratna's words.

"If the month comes, usually we will teach bala' or manakib, so still teaching ba'da maghrib is mandatory law for the santri here," Ratna again explained what is the question of Dance.

"No more debate, we better take a shower." Salma who had been silent since noticed the two now began to mediate so that Tari did not continue to ask.

"This is a dipper for you, Ummi was able to nitip this to me so you guys foam use it." Ratna gave a dipper with the name written on each dipper.

"Eh, it's funny, there's a name on it" Tari chirped as she saw her name written there.

"Yes, every object should actually be named so as not to be lost or exchanged," said Ratna and Tari just nodded in response.
