The Love Story of Children Santri

Chapter 6

Asthma, already dressed up pretty. Because Asthma, know if Adam, is back. Asma, had long put her heart on Adam, even her parents had proposed to Adam. But Adam, promised to answer the proposal after his return. 

"Asma, where are you going?" ask Minah, her roommate. 

"I want to go for a while" replied Asma, who was still tidying up her hijab. 

"Would you go to kiyai sir's house? You see, I saw your brother and um you came." Asthma, just smelling a smile, in response. 

"Oh yes, Minah, I have to leave immediately." 

Asthma, stepped away with a cheerful look on her face. Imagine, Adam's answer, which if received his parents' proposal. Asma is very happy to be married to Adam. 

In the middle of the corridor he passed by the ustadzah, who asked where the nights were going. Given the strict rules of the cottage every santri and santriwati should not go out the cottage after night. However, Asma reasoned to go to Pak kiyai's house to meet his parents. Grunts so even the ustadzah allows.

Arriving in front of the house of Mr. Kiyai, Asma, heard words that he never thought. Adam's decision, it turns out not as beautiful as imagined. Her heart was so broken upon hearing the words of Adam, who gently rejected their matchmaking. Until his father was so angry and so angry that there was a debate in the house kiyai. However, they had no idea the woman standing behind the door was more hurt and disappointed at Adam's decision.

In the rooms of Eve, Aisha, and Shia, they were telling stories before bedtime. While Minah, she focused on reading books alone because Minah, was not too close to the three of them. 

When the situation was calm suddenly the sound of a loud door slam was heard. They all turned their heads toward the door that turned out to be Asthma. Let alone say the greeting Asthma, directly running towards his bed after closing the door. 

"Waalaikumsalam," said Aisyah, and Asiyah though Asma, did not say hello at all.

"Astagfirullah Asma, why are you?" asked Minah, who was panicking to see her best friend who was suddenly crying. 

"Santri said hello nyelonong only rich snake," said Eve, making Asthma, immediately stood up to look at Eve, not like. 

"Assalamualaikum," ketus Asma, who looked at Eve, did not like.

"Vaalaikumsalam. Well, that's the new dong santri," said Hawa, who chimed. 

"Don't be pompous, you're the new santri here, don't feel the truest." Minah, defending Asthma, who is now holding back anger. 

"It is precisely because I am a new santri, so you as seniors should set an example." checkmate Eve, who keeps chiming in. 

"You!" 

"Easy-after. You guys don't fight later iftzah listen." Aish, break up the debate. "Asma, if you are having problems at least you should remain polite, do not forget to say hello, lucky you entered your dormitory how about you enter the house kiyai," continued Aish.

Hearing Kiyai's name, Asthma's emotions, returned. Asthma recalls the incident in the house of kiyai, just a moment before, Adam's words, able to hurt her heart. Asthma, she came back crying.

"Aish, you don't get pretentious, so cry, right!" reprimand Minah, who did not accept her best friend in the lecture.

Aish, and Asy were shaking their heads, and Eve, she was indifferent. 

****

"Aby, Umi, I'm sorry Adam, because Adam, Umi and Aby, so shameful like this." Adam, feel bad for the friendship of Kiyai Abdullah and Hj. Anshor, so tenuous because of his decision to reject Asthma. However, Kiyai, never blamed Adam. 

"What are you sorry for. Every decision will not always be accepted with a chest. Especially about your matchmaking and Asma, Hj. Anshor, so expecting you to be her daughter-in-law let alone her daughter who craves you as her husband." 

"However, a soul mate is always God's business, we cannot force God's will. If your wishful decision is like that you've made the right decision." Kiyai, keep encouraging Adam, if the decision he took was the best decision.

****

Asthma, constantly crying all night barely stops, making her roommate distracted and unable to sleep including Eve. Make Eve, upset and continue to grumble. 

In fact, they became exposed to the anger of the ustadzah because of late morning congregation. Aish, Asy, and Eve, they all wondered what was with Asthma, what Asthma, was going through such a heavy thing that it cried all that long. 

After the Fajr congregation, they returned to the princess dormitory. While in the middle of the road, they saw Asma, who accidentally crossed paths with Adam, Asma continued to look down as well as Asthma, the two did not look at each other. However, some make them suspicious because of Asthma, putting on a sour face when passing by Adam. 

"Hust! Eve, don't just talk later it will be slander," argued Aish. Eve, just rolled her eyes lazily, because Aish, just kept chiming in. 

"You don't see what his expression is, lest he cry because of that guy," 

"The name is Adam, call him Ustadz Adam. They have nothing to do but .. I heard they were in a match, don't-don't!" 

"Don't-don't what?" check Aish, refute Asy's remarks. "You're coming home from the mosque and gossiping, let's go back to the dormitory in a minute picket time." 

Hearing the word picket Eve, suddenly excited because Eve, will again plan her escape from pesantren. 

****

Assalamuaikum Asthma, Assalamuaikum, 

Earlier I wanted to apologize if my decision offended you. I think you already know the problem. I, can see from your attitude earlier when returning from the mosque. 

I hope you are sincere and accept my decision that cannot continue our relationship any further. 

May you not hate me, Asthma. If God had betrothed us, God willing, there would have been a time when we would be together. 

Wassalamualaikum. 

...Mohammed Adam Alfatih....

Asthma, clutching the letter firmly in her throw in any direction, love has blinded her so that she can not accept Adam's decision.

"Mas Adam, you don't understand my feelings, I can't take them for granted."

In the middle of the spacious courtyard the santri were doing a picket together. As usual every morning before class at the beginning they will pass the picket first. 

Eve's movements, so suspicious her eyes continued to wander and fro. Seeing things around. 

"Faith," said he who smiled cunningly. 

Eve, back in the backyard to where she left yesterday. Eve, immediately flicked, the game up to tie the end of the game on the waist. Didn't want the incident to repeat itself because it stepped under Eve's robe, so it slipped. 

"Now I have to make it out of here."

 Eve, tied her headscarf to the back, the two legs wearing trousers immediately rested on the trunk of a guava tree that was so large. Carefully and slowly Eve climbed up the guava tree to reach the high wall. However, when Eve, will again swing her steps suddenly, he said, 

"You want to do something!" The baritone sounds so loud.
