"Assynolt,"
"Waalaikumsalam Mama!" shouted Eve, who was surprised to see the arrival of her mother Marwah. Eve, getting out of bed and running hugging the mother who stepped into the room.
Adam, who was standing at the door with Kiyai, was astonished, for these two days Eve, always complained when asked about the shipment. And Eve, always reasoned still sick, and dizzy not even strong enough to walk. However, the behavior of Eve, who ran earlier made Adam, suspect that all this time Eve, only lied to him.
"I've guessed the boy must have lied "inner Adam, then stepped away from Eve's room. Likewise with kiyai and ummi who stepped away to let Eve, with her mother.
"The kangen." Hugs Eve on Marwah spoiled. "Why not come?" ask Eve, who is looking for Marwan's whereabouts.
"Papa is out with Kiyai" said Marwah.
"Papa Mama wants to pick up Eve, huh? Eve, miss the same house, here is not good Ma." Said Eve, pursing her lips.
"Mama, listen you're sick so Mama, and Papa came here. What's with your forehead, son?" Marwah, asking as she brought Eve, to sit down.
"Fall Ma" answered Eve, briefly. Because they didn't tell me the real events. Eve, did not dare if both her parents knew that she planned to run away.
"You're not naughty, are you! Eve, kiyai already told the same story Mama and Papa. If you act often and plan to run away. Why are you doing that?" ask Marwah.
Free in the cover-up, it turns out they already know it.
"Yes, because of Eve, I don't feel right here Ma. Eve, go home." Ms. Marwah could only take a long breath. His lips curved, his hands began to touch Eve's hands, rubbing them gently.
"What makes you feel uncomfortable? Tell me Mama" asked Marwah.
"Just not at home. Every day I told him to clean, clean. I'm here to study or be Babu Ma!" lamentations Eve. Marwah just smelled a smile.
"Eve, listen to Mama. You have to study independently, son, if Mama and Papa no one will take care of you if not you alone. What is taught here, including pickets every day it teaches you to be independent. That's what Mama and Papa asked you to go to the cottage."
"Mama, you're talking about it. Eve still has a brother, Joseph doesn't!"
"In this pesantren there will be a lot of knowledge that you get. You don't want to live without a purpose. Not only your wealth, intelligence and talents, but also your faith and religion that you must have as well. The free association that you have been living all this time makes Mama afraid, afraid of losing you Eve. You're the only girl we have to look after, but we can't take care of you. And you also have to be smart about choosing friends, why don't you like playing with Sherly and Mira? Why is Papa always angry? Because they are not good friends. A good friend will not have a bad influence on you. Moreover, leading you to a perverse path. Playing at a nightclub, and skipping school is not a good thing. You understand, don't you?"
"Eve promised never to go home again at night, or go to a club. And Eve will go to school. But Eve please .. bring Eve home."
With throbbing lips Eve put on a sad face and pleaded. I wish her mother would believe it. However, it was only the head bob that Marwah gave. Indicates if Marwah does not agree with his wishes. Who will stay in the pesantren.
*****
Marwah walked out to her husband who was with Kiyai and Ummi and Adam. After feeling enough to talk to his daughter. Wishing her words could melt Eve's heart.
"That's Miss Marwah" said Ummi who saw Marwah walking towards her. "Have you met Hawanya Ma?" tanyakanya. After Marwah landed her ass on the sofa beside her seat.
"It was Ummi" answered Marwah.
"Then how did Eve answer?" asked Marwan who was curious about the conversation of his daughter and wife.
"Alhamdulilah, Eve recited after speaking from heart to heart. At first Eve still wanted to go home, but Mama still refused. Maybe because we always spoil him, Eve is a little different, and her wishes must be fulfilled," explained Marwah, Marwan was just mangut-mangut.
"Sir Kiyai, Ummi, Adam?" call Marwan, make them all look at him.
"We have Eve, if we do not promise to be Eve's parents, take care of her, educate her. And for you Adam, never tire of teaching Eve about the science of religion."
"God willing, ma'am" replied Adam.
"Sir Marwan is talking like that. We will keep Eve," said Ummi.
"thank you. Sorry if Eve still acts like a child. Naughty."
"It's okay. God willing Eve will be a submissive child."
"Aamin" they answered in unison.
*******
Eve had to re-deposit her mail. However, Eve looked relaxed and calm like never before. It amazes Adam.
"It seems like you're no longer tense, huh Eve? You're ready to ship, aren't you?"
"It's ready Ustadz take it easy." Adam only smiled when he heard Eve's words.
"Good then. Please read al-baqoroh verses 8-30."
Adam said casually. Both hands are folded under the chest. With Adam's eyes closed, ready to hear what reason Eve would say. But apparently, Adam's count was wrong. Eve did not complain at all.
The words of Allah are spoken until the end of the prescribed verse.
For a second Adam's eyes blinked, staring intensely at Eve sitting in front of him. Maybe Adam did not think that Eve would read verse by verse smoothly. There may be only a few shortcomings that must be improved, namely mahorijul letters. In the reading or tajwidnya.
"Good, you can memorize it smoothly. It's just that there are still a few laws of tajwid that are not right," said Adam after hearing a letter from Eve.
"Did your head hit hard?"
"Why Ustad?"
"After you hit your head, you're faster at memorizing."
"I don't want to lose to a 7-year-old child" interjected Eve, who made Adam mutter.
Adam was a little surprised but still grateful because Eve was getting better and according to now. However, either Eve has memorized it properly or there is a sneaky way that Eve uses.
Adam got out of the chair and walked out of the classroom.
Eve's lips smiled cunningly, her long gamis arms raised upwards. Shows a wrist that is so smooth, white and smooth.
However, there was a slight black scribble on its surface, a long Latin inscription, written in both hands.
"It turns out Ustad Adam can be lied to as well. Just trust me that I'm really memorizing. I can read without seeing this. Hidden content." He said the chuckling.
After he was satisfied to laugh he left the bench, tidying up the books and books on the table. But just stepping on Adam's doorstep, suddenly appeared against him.
The smile that bloomed now shrieked again. Adam's flat gaze made him die a flea. Adam asked Eve to show her his hand.
Eve raised both hands, pointing them at Adam. Adam did not open the arm of the robe that covered Eve's finger, because Adam already knew what was inside.
A pair of Eve's neutrals tell, what Adam did with his book that was deliberately in a long round fold. Suddenly a punch landed in his hand. Turns out the book was to hit him.
"Ustad!" pekik Eve's.
"Punishment for a lying disciple" Adam said. "This is just a punishment from me. Not in the hereafter," he continued.
"You know what the punishment is? Imam Bukhari presented the hadith on the kind of threat of the law in the afterlife for liars, that is, his mouth will be torn to the ears, because his mouth is the land of obedience," said Adam full of emphasis.
Eve who heard it instantly widened her eyes.
"You can imagine if your mouth was torn to the ears. Do you want to?"
"No!"
"You want to lie again?"
"No! Promise."
"Remove the inscription in your hand." Adam said, who struck Eve's hand again.
"Yes Ustadz" said Eve.
