The Moon Among the Stars

Kahfi better be alone in his bedroom. This room is the most comfortable place after the incident was not good at that time.

There is one Kahfi past that makes Kahfi want to be a better person. After the bad incident happened to Kahfi was down with a rather terrible psychiatric condition as well.

But all of that has passed, and Kahfi can rise again to become a better Kahfi. At that time, Kahfi decided to stay in Kyai Ubay's Pondok Pesantren, Kyai Toha's classmate, Mr. Kahfi.

Afnan was still kneeling his forehead over and over again slowly. The pain in his head had disappeared a little. These days Afnan thinks a lot about Ayumi. Enough draining energy and the brain turned out to think about the girl of his puja, how not? Suddenly the girl of his puja expressed his feelings but on another day he wanted to focus more on his education in order to achieve his goals.

"Afnan, I haven't seen Zura play here in a long time. Your relationship is fine, right?" kyai Toha asked his eldest son.

Afnan opened his eyes slowly as the sofa he was sitting on felt turbulent, there was Kyai Toha sitting next to him.

"Mr? Hem, the matter does not need to be discussed again sir," replied Afnan slowly and politely.

"What's wrong with you guys? Aren't you two serious?" kyai Toha asked increasingly confused by the problems of young people today.

Afnan smiled and laughed.

"Astagfirullah Mr. Do you want to have a grandchild?" afnan asked back to Kyai Toha as she blinked one eye teasing Kyai Toha who could only shake his head.

"It's not Afnan. Don't like to play with women's feelings, not good. Remember your mother is a woman, even if you have no sisters, at least you respect and respect women" Kyai Toha advised her eldest son.

"Sir, Afnan and Zura have never had anything to do. Zura had asked for ta'aruf, but Afnan could not accept it" Afnan explained to Kyai Toha, his father.

"What is the lack of Zura? Well, beautiful, smart, sholehah, and most importantly he comes from a good family, because you know very well who Mr. Sukoco is," Kyai Toha said eagerly praising Zura and his family.

"If Afnan doesn't like, no love can possibly be forced. If Afnan accepts by force, Afnan is tormented sir," said Afnan who insisted on refusing Zura to be an important person in his life.

"Father never insisted, but please rethink that ta'aruf request" Kyai Toha said.

"There is a heart that Afnan has been guarding all this time. Ten years ago Afnan harbored Afnan's feelings for this girl, the girl Afnan met and Afnan helped to save his life" Afnan explained to Kyai Toha.

Kyai Toha listened and nodded his head to understand what Afnan was talking about.

"Who's the girl? Until you subjugate and do not want to accept a girl as good as Zura? What are the advantages of this girl, until you keep this girl for ten years?" ask Kyai Toha slowly to Afnan.

"Father knows, he's Ayumi. The girl who had just become an orphan girl, she was Grandma Arsy's granddaughter," said Afnan steady.

Kyai Toha looked at Afnan in disbelief.

"Why Sir? Is there something wrong with Ayumi?" ask Afnan softly to his Father.

"Isn't he ... What was his name?" kyai Toha asked while scratching her head that did not itch but forgot the name of the eldest daughter.

"Ayumi, sir," replied Afnan slowly.

"Oh yes ... Sorry you forgot. Ayumi was a little Afnan?" kyai Toha said slowly.

"Yes sir, that's right. But ... Afnan liked it, "Afnan replied honestly.

"Then, Ayumi knows? If you like it? What about Grandma Arsy?" ask Kyai Toha.

"Ayumi knows sir. We have the same feeling. Afnan once spoke to Grandma Arsy, he did not mind, all decisions are in the hands of Ayumi. But ..." Afnan's speech paused for a moment. Again Afnan closed his eyes and stomped his forehead slowly.

"Ayumi wants to finish her studies to become a doctor" Afnan replied slowly.

Kyai Toha turned to Afnan and looked at him.

"Doctor? Would-be father-in-law want to be a doctor?" kyai Toha asked Afnan.

"Mantu candidate? That's the sign that you're blessing, if Afnan asks Ayumi?" asked Afnan excitedly.

Kyai Toha chuckled then smiled and patted Afnan's arm.

"Father can only bless, who will live you with Ayumi," said Kyai Toha wisely.

"Thank you Sir. You are a wise father, and give freedom in choosing" said Afnan with happiness.

"Regard Ayumi's decision, maybe Ayumi needs time to adjust. His age must learn as much as possible. Can you hold on to what?" kyai Toha asked Afnan.

Afnan stared hard at his father. Afnan did not like to be teased the most, the direction of the conversation was always serious and looked stiff. Unlike Kahfi who likes to joke and looks more friendly.

"Afnan replied that he would always wait for Ayumi to become a successful doctor" said Afnan.

"Don't want to be pinned first? Are you sure you can stay and be faithful?" kyai Goda Toha on Afnan.

"What do you think? Shouldn't in Islam also not be engaged or courting? If you leave, how about Sir?" asked Afnan who looked worried.

'Foul as well, I should have pinned yesterday, ' said Afnan's inner voice in his heart.

"This is sincere, leave everything the same Allah SWT. If you are sure it will be faithful, if not sure, it is better to be friends" said Kyai Toha slowly.

"Difficult Sir. Afnan has been waiting for Ayumi for a long time. Is Afnan going to have to wait again?" afnan said slowly.

"That's a test. If you want to get the world and the Hereafter like that. If it does not survive it is called lust," Kyai Toha explained.

Kyai Toha leaned her body against the back of the sofa chair. While Afnan instead think hard to find a good way so that his relationship with Ayumi can remain lasting for an unlimited time.

"How do you think?" kyai Toha asked Afnan suddenly in a closed state.

Afnan turned his head towards his father beside. Kyai Toha's sudden remarks shocked Afnan.

"Stupid? Just love the ring." said Kyai Toha sekhenya with eyes still closed.

Afnan turned his head again, because his father's words made a shock.

Kyai Toha woke up and sat up straight and laughed out loud.

"Shock huh?" kyai Toha teased her eldest son.

Afnan just grunted in annoyance. His heart was being played by his father.

"Not surprised sir, just surprised," said Afnan.

Kyai Toha immediately laughed back and forth at the answer of his eldest son.
