The Love Story of Children Santri

Chapter 15 - Help Ummi cook

After traveling for less than an hour. Finally Joseph arrived at his house. The car they were riding in entered the spacious courtyard of the house, a second of Joseph's astonished gaze was emitted. Staring at the sturdy building that still remains the same when he was about to go to the land of Cairo, the city of a thousand towers. 

"Never change," he murmured. Which slightly lowers the car glass. 

"Joseph let's go down." 

Too long to look at his old house, so it is not aware that his parents have stepped first to enter the house. 

Joseph immediately followed and brought his things. However, all of that was stopped when a man forcibly took the items. 

The man is Mr. Tarjo, who has been helping his family in taking care of the house. Yusuf, who is always friendly to anyone, does not forget to greet Tarjo sir with a hug.

Never be disgusted to touch others even if they are dirty. Of course Mr. Tarjo is very happy to meet again with his employer's son.

All the assistants in the house preferred Joseph over Eve, whose son was difficult to manage and disrespectful to parents. 

"Den Yusuf, the better looking you are. Pangling Mr. Tarjo, don't know what it is." 

"It could be Mr. Tarjo's." Joseph said with a smile. 

They stepped together into the house. It's just that Tarjo continued to step into the room to store Joseph's belongings. 

While Joseph turned towards the family room approaching his father and mother.

The sound of a bell ringing indicates the lesson is over. The santri and santriwati also came out to queue for lunch. 

However, there were also among them who ran towards the canteen, to buy their own food. Because every day they will be given pocket money that their parents give, which has been entrusted to the leader of the cottage.

And the money will be given every day. From 10 to 20 thousand depending on the size of the small parents leave their pocket money. 

By the time everyone left Eve, she was still in class. A book that stood covering his face was still perched facing Adam. 

He got up from his seat to see who had not gone to rest. The move swung closer to Eve who was sitting on the last bench. 

At the pull of the volume of the book, Adam was shocked when he saw his sleeping santri. And who else if not Eve, santri who always act. 

"Astagfirullah" said Adam. "Eve, Eve, always …." 

I have a lot of patience, Adam. 

Brak! 

It was a shock for Eve when she heard the pounding of the table so loud it woke her sleep. Someone just hit the table with the ruler he was carrying. 

Eve stretched her stiff muscles without seeing a woman standing before her. Highlight those eyes that were so sharp as if ready to pounce. 

"Ustadzah!" surprised Eve when she saw Ustadzah who was standing before her.

Her net scanned around the classroom, which turned out that all of her friends were watching her. Eve saw the teacher's desk in front of the empty one without Adam.

"Ustadz Adam where?" muttered. 

"Laughter!" yell Ustadzah. 

"Yes Ustadzah!" 

"Your son is sleeping. Until we don't know Adam's ustadz lesson is over! And you also left the dzuhur prayer!" Ustadzah's voice was so shrill.

For a second Eve turned to the wall clock that had shown at 14:00. It was two in the afternoon and Eve, had not yet performed the dzuhur prayer.

"Quick! Go to dzuhur prayer mosque." 

"Yes Ustadzah." 

Eve hurried away. Adam left Eve without waking her. And asked a santri to wake Eve, but they forgot until the hour of study Ustadzah Lili. 

While Adam, looks calm reading the book in his room. However, his heart could not lie if Adam still thought of Eve. 

Look at the clock on the watch in his hand. The book he immediately stored and his body stood up stepping out. 

Whether Adam wanted to go where, the footsteps continued down the corridor between the male and female student class liaison, Adam's feet turned to the female student class who was now being led by Uatadzah Lili. 

"Assalamualaik."

"Getishalight." 

"Adam Ustadz?" 

"Is Eve in class?"

"Sorry Ustadz, Eve fell asleep and missed the dzhur prayer. Just got Eve out to perform dzuhur prayer while there's time." 

"Yes already, then continue to teach him Ustadzah sorry to disturb. For Eve let me take care of that." 

"Good Ustadz." 

Adampun passed away towards the mosque. Eve had just put on a mukena and was going to pray. 

Adam only told a santri, to take Eve to Kiyai's house. 

Four rakaat Eve did, ended with both hands looking up to ask for do'a. Mukena rope he immediately released, in notya and then folded back to be neat. 

This mosque is so quiet maybe, they're all studying. 

"Assalamualaikum Eve?" call a santriwati. 

"Walaikumsalam yes?" sahut Eve.

"You were asked to come to Mr. Kiyai's house." 

"For what?" 

"No idea, I'm just telling you. Then I'll say goodbye." 

The santriwati hurried away, Eve, immediately put the mucus in a closet, after which Eve left the mosque.

In front of the terrace Adam waited for Eve, while sitting casually on a teak chair. His back was leaning against the whitewashed wall. A pair of neutrals are fixed on the spacious yard in front of him, as well as the fence of the house decorated with green plants. 

For a moment Adam, stunned. This is where Adam last met Asma, a santri who he already considered a sister and also in a match with him. It's just that, because of the selfishness of Asthma that night they had to separate. 

How is Asthma now? Maybe he's married or married. Because his cystic decision at that time made Asma's father disappointed, so that he would marry Asma to a man he considered appropriate and immediately broke the cord of friendship with his family.

Actually it is not good for someone to break the rope, because they are considered as earth destroyers. He will also get a curse from Allah SWT. As stated in one hadith. 

The Prophet said, "Will not enter the heaven of the silaturahmi breaker." 

Adam didn't want that. But how else, those who decide and Adam can only hope that Allah SWT forgives their sins. 

"Assalamualaik." 

The greeting of someone surprised Adam's daydream. Adam, look at me immediately.

"Walaikumsalam," he answered his greeting. 

Adam looked down immediately when he knew it was Eve, not good to look at the non-muhrim for a long time. But not with Eve. His sense of regret for Adam was still not lost until Eve continued to stare with sharp eyes.

"I want to see Mr. Kiyai, not meet you Ustad," said Eve. 

Adam got up from his seat, stood his back to Eve. 

"I called you. Come in" he said, and walked in leaving Eve, still dumbfounded. With an annoyed expression, Eve stepped in to follow Adam.

"Ommy?" call Adam. Umm Khodijah came out of the kitchen. 

"Yes Adam?" 

"There's Eve, she says she wants to help Ummi cook." 

With Eve's eyes wide open, a second of her cynical gaze turned to Adam. 

"Cooking? Who wants to cook, really nybebelin ni Ustad, must have fussed again nih," inner Eve upset. But not with Ummi who feel happy because there are those who help. 

"You're Adam? Mashayallah Eve Ummi happy, let's enter Nak we cook together." Ummi khodijah led Eve. 

"But Ummi, Eve can't cook." 

"It's okay for Ummi to teach." Forced Eve, stepped in to follow Ummi. However, his sharp gaze did not turn to Adam. 

Adam only smiled in response to that murderous gaze.
