The Moon Among the Stars

Today the beginning of admission to the Upper Advanced School, in the Modern Pondok Pesantren Al Azhar. Ayumi had left since morning to attend the school orientation which would be held during the first week of school admission.

His personal needs have been brought since two days ago to be used during Ayumi's stay at Pondok Pesantren.

According to the mandate of Mother Icha, since Afnan went to Egypt to continue his studies, Kahfi was the first person to have to look after and help Ayumi.

Like this morning, about six and a half hours Kahfi had already come to Ayumi's house to pick up and deliver to her new school.

Kahfi was already sitting on Grandma Arsy's porch seat to wait for Ayumi.

"Sir, let's have breakfast first?" take Ayumi when preparing some bags containing her needs while in Pondok Pesantren.

"Yes Ay, this is a deposit from Mommy for you, Ay," said Kahfi slowly giving snacks one large plastic bag to Ayumi.

"This what?" ask Ayumi slowly to Kahfi.

"All right, from the in-laws do not be rejected," replied Kahfi chuckled softly.

Ayumi and Kahfi went into the house to the kitchen. There is already Grandma Arsy who is preparing dishes for breakfast.

"Well, very fragrant Nek," said Kahfi slowly.

"Ayumi is cooking, Grandma is just helping" Granny Arsy told Kahfi.

The three of them sat in their seats and took their breakfast.

"It's pecel rice, right?" ask Kahfi who was chewing peyek nuts.

"Yes Kak, not good sambalnya beans?" ask Ayumi to Kahfi.

"Steady bags, it is suitable to be a wife," replied Kahfi with a smile.

Hearing kahfi's reply, Ayumi simply smiled wryly and rolled her two eyeballs lazily.

At six o'clock in the morning, Ayumi and Kahfi are ready to go to Ayumi's new school. They both say goodbye to Grandma Arsy, then leave in a Kahfi car.

"Ay, be careful there, learn well, remember all the ideals you want," said Kahfi slowly without looking at the face of Ayumi who was beside him.

This morning, Kahfi will also be a new student at one of the first Universities in the city of Yogyakarta. His trademark if driving a car is to use sunglasses that add good looks and style is very cool.

"Yes, sister" Ayumi answered briefly.

"To my knowledge, in Al Azhar, students often exchange to Egypt. In the past Zura was also a smart student and lucky to be able to study in Egypt for one month," said Kahfi slowly explained.

"really? Seriously Brother?" ask Ayumi with enthusiasm.

"A really good thing?" kahfi was upset.

"Yes seneng dong, can all meet Kak Afnan," said Ayumi slowly and innocently without sin.

"Hum..." Kahfi only muttered softly with a very upset look on his face.

Ayumi looked at Kahfi from the side. His face was slightly covered with sunglasses which added to his good looks.

"Do not see Brother, will fall in love and know the taste," said Kahfi ketus but sounded hopeful.

Ayumi just pursed her lips and leaned her body against the seat of the car she was sitting on.

His smile sank like the sunlight that was done in charge of shining the earth during the day.

"Udah do not need to be manyun, ugly knows," said Kahfi slowly while glancing at Ayumi who was still upset.

"You why the hell Ay? No other discussion than Rara? Brother bosen horrified him," said Kahfi ketus.

"Then, Big Brother will still survive with conditions and circumstances like this?" ayumi asked annoyed at Kahfi.

"If it's the best, why not?" kahfi said still calmly.

"But that can't be Sister Fi. Ayumi did not want to give hope that there would never be hope for Kak Fi," said Ayumi in a slightly loud tone.

"Ever read a book? Marriage is fate because we can choose with whom we will marry, whereas love is destiny because we cannot choose to whom love is present. So, there is no word can not or not all that destiny, Ay," said Kahfi explained slowly. His right thumb was bitten slowly due to the anxiety on himself.

"But Kak Fi can control the feeling so as not to overdo it" said Ayumi annoyed. His gaze moved out the window glass beside him.

"That's all you can't turn down Ay, that love is present all of a sudden. If you want to choose to find a beautiful or smart or how, this is not engineering but a gift from Allah SWT," said Kahfi with a tone that began to rise.

"Yes choose dong Kak, not Ayumi!" ayumi half-shouted.

"Quite Ayumi, Brother is not wanting to argue with you," said Kahfi slowly, his tone began to weaken so that Kahfi did not get emotional.

Ayumi fell silent, it felt very upset, indeed Kahfi was innocent in this case, why Ayumi had to take a look at this relationship. Why panic when love chooses you.

'What's wrong with me, ' Ayumi's inner self in her heart.

Kahfi sports car has entered the school grounds of Pondok Pesantren Modern Al Azhar. There were already many ospek organizers standing guard in front of the entrance gate of the school.

Ayumi and Kahfi got out of her car and took some of Ayumi's bags to take to her room at the cottage.

"Kak Kahfi?" greet one of the female committee in charge of checking the bag of every new student or student who will follow ospek.

Hearing his name being called, Kahfi turned his head in the direction was a voice.

"Forgotten Brother? I'm Mitha, Rara's cousin," Mitha said softly.

Kahfi looked at Mitha while trying to remember when they met and where they met.

"Sorry Mitha, you don't remember at all" Kahfi said slowly.

Not yet answered, there was someone who called Mitha to immediately go to the ospek woman's room.

"Later, sister, Mitha there is work," he said slowly with a smile.

Today will be a new day for Ayumi. Ayumi promises in herself to be able to improve herself for the better and reach her goals according to the wishes of Grandma Arsy and her parents who have died.

Ayumi's tiny footsteps walked into the hallway of the school looking for the direction of the hall where all the new students and students gathered. Ayumi was neat with a blue white uniform and all the ospek attributes used from head to toe.

Ayumi walked into the hall of Pondok Pesantren, and sat down with other friends.

Ayumi sat leaning against the wall of the hall waiting for the ospek event to start, about fifteen minutes away according to the schedule.

"Assalamu'alaikum, ukhty, my name is Moon, you?" ask the Moon slowly to Ayumi who sat cross-legged on the tile.

"Waalaikumsalam, I'm Ayumi," Ayumi replied slowly.

The two of them shook hands and became acquainted with each other.

Ospek event is conducted from seven in the morning to one in the afternoon, conducted every day for one full week.

Then continued the Pondok Pesantren ospek event for three days for the introduction of the guidance teacher and the rules that apply there.
