The Repentance of the Sinner

55. Former Purel

...Happy Reading's...

Jeremy and Nicholas did grow up from a family that was minimal about the knowledge of Religion, which they knew the obligation in their religion in general was only Prayer, even then sometimes still often perforated and can not do it with kusyu', because sometimes there is still something he thinks when reading the readings in prayer.

Even when praying together their concentration is still often disturbed, because it could be when reading prayer, they can while reading the writing on the shirt from the back of the congregation in front of the Shaf.

But it is not entirely their fault, because from a small age their parents are busy with world affairs only and still often ignore the affairs of the Hereafter.

So that children also follow the habits of parents, because the best teacher is our own parents.

"Boss, they're all wearing sarongs, can we go in?" Nicholas still looks clingak-clinguk in front of the main gate of the building.

"Hanny where is Jer, how did I see the residents of this boarding school just a man? their chick part is umpetin where is it?"

Another note that Nicholas, others are in Jeremy's mind, because their main goal at first just wanted to meet with Hanny.

"Assalamu'alaikum, how can I help you?"

One of the men in the boarding school came out as soon as a stranger was standing right in front of the gate, moreover, they use an all-black suit even complete with an expensive tie around their neck.

"I want to meet Hanny." Jeremy answered quickly.

"Assalamu'alaikum." Santri said it back.

"Wa'alaikumsalam." Nicholas answered it.

"That dong Om, the Law answers the greeting in Islam is Mandatory, as in the Qur'an letter an-Nisa verse 86. Allah SWT said: “When you are honored with an honor, then repay that honor with a better one than him, or repay that honor with a similar one." Santri said it with faseh once.

"Mampus we are bosses, we have not yet been lectured." Nicholas' whisper next to Jeremy's ear.

"Let it be, it's their right to speak, isn't it?" Jeremy doesn't mind it either.

"So dong boss, he's younger than us, but his knowledge is more than ours."

The two of them were even engrossed in whispering to each other in front of the man santri in front of them.

"Eherm... Is there anything I can help Om? are you looking for someone in our boarding house?" Ask back.

"Owh... Yes, I'm looking for Hanny, can you please call her here, I want to talk to her, right now." Tell Jeremy who made the santri gawk when he heard it.

"Sorry Om, who is Hanny?" He did not know the names of the santri there.

"He was actually my future wife, but he ran away here." Jeremy was talking about his own nationality.

"Sstttt." Nicholas immediately elbowed his waist.

"Hanny is a man what is a woman?"

"Women, just Hanny, cook your moustache and beard, you sometimes?" Replied Jeremy who immediately surprised himself, because it was clear that the name Hanny was a female name.

"Then you're in the wrong place, Om, here's the santri lads section if the female santri is in the building next door."

The two buildings were indeed the owners of one person, but indeed the female and male students lived separately, never even met if there was no special event or during congregational prayer.

"Well, but the main gate is here, so where do we go if we want to come in?"

"Om where can I go there, is Om also one of the students in this cottage? why have I never seen him?" Santri again noticed the two handsome men in front of him now.

"No, I just want to find Hanny, she lives here she said, really, Nick, or maybe you're in the wrong place? .... Shame on you this?" Jeremy immediately blamed Nicholas for a moment.

"The boss really said our men they're here!" Nicholas has confirmed the accuracy of their investigation.

"Where is the guy?"

"Emm... here's the deck, if the manager of this boarding school is not there?" Nicholas asked the santri again.

"There is, but if there is no interest in the boarding school I do not dare to call it, let alone just the business of Om's lover who ran away, sorry I can not help, excuse me." Santri wants to close the gate again.

"Eh deck...wait!" Jeremy held him.

"Look Om, we'd never meet a santriwati face to face if there wasn't an important event, so I really don't know who Hanny is." Santri answered politely and honestly, because that was the reality.

"Let's just say, we'd like to meet the owner of this pesantren."

"But once again I reiterate, if I dare not call him if only to ask about Om's future wife who ran away, again sorry, excuse me." Santri immediately bowed himself.

"We want to contribute to the construction of this boarding school."

Jeremy immediately found a surefire way, when he saw there was a new building that was still in the process of repair there.

"That means not just looking for your future wife who ran away, right?"

"Yes, do not need to be repeated can also continue? That blur that's not good to hear?" Bump Jeremy who immediately rotates both his eyeballs.

"Hehe... I'm sorry, because you said it yourself, right?"

"Ckkp.. Nevermind."

"Then let me take Om-Om and enter Mr. Kyai's room."

Santri guy was not wrong, he just did his job according to the procedure of being a santri there, because the building santri guy and santri girl is different.

"Please come in Om, don't forget to say hello first, excuse me."

"Wait." Jeremy held him back again.

"Is there anything else I can help you with?" Santri asked with a friendly attitude.

"It's pocket money for you."

Jeremy put a few tens of red sheets of money into his hand.

"No need Om, thank you in advance."

"Thank you deck, it's not good to refuse sustenance is not it, share it with other friends make snacks too?" Nicholas immediately commented there.

"Then thank you very much Om, may the Om windfall increase, blessings, barokah, amin yarobalamin."

He even thanked me repeatedly, while pocketing dozens of pieces of money with a big smile.

"Amen."

Jeremy san Nicholas also smiled when he saw the money that was not much for him, but very valuable for them.

"Assalamu'alaikum Pak Kyai." Say hello to Jeremy who really followed the teachings of santri guy earlier."

"Wa'alaikumsalam, just call me Abah." Answer the old man who always used the white turban.

"Yes Abah."

"What needs you have, I don't think you're a santri from this boarding school, do you?"

Moreover, the clothes they wear are clearly not describing the habits of the students in the boarding school.

"Ep... I did have some goals for coming here Abah."

"Then please sit down first, explain the purpose and purpose of both of you." Abah immediately let them sit in the chair of the room.

"Look Bah, I want to give help to this boarding school, is it okay?" Ask Jeremy back.

"If indeed you want to help as a field of reward for you no problem, we will accept it with pleasure, but..."

"But what's Bah?"

"If you apply another condition afterwards, it means you are not sincere, and something that is not sincere is not good in the future, so not helping is not a problem for us."

Degh's!

I don't know why the owner of the boarding house seemed to know what the purpose of their arrival, even without anyone telling the reason he was with him at this time.

"May I be honest Abah?" Jeremy has no other way, because being honest is the best way in everything.

"That's what you have to do." Answer Abah with a smile.

"I really want to meet someone here, but for donations to this boarding school I really want to do it Abah."

Instead of being discovered, Jeremy deliberately dismantled it early bluntly.

"Hmm... Who is he, are you the guardian of one of our students?"

"It could be Bah." Reply Jeremy who seems doubtful.

"Emm.. We mean like this Abah, we are not his legal guardian but..." Nicholas wanted to help answer, but Abah cut him off.

"No need to mutter, just tell me the truth."

"I want to find the whereabouts of my future wife who said she escaped here Abah." Jeremy finally told me the real thing.

"Wife candidate?" Both of Abah's eyebrows were raised straight up.

"Yes her name is Hanny." Jeremy is back.

"Not Ukhti Abah, but Hanny."

"Yes, I understand what you mean, but I don't think I can help you, because you're not the guardian of them either, so let them learn about religion here."

A little Abah already knows about Hanny's background from his wife, because the one who teaches directly how to pray and teach is himself.

"But I want to meet him Abah?" Pinta Jeremy who looks pushy.

"But he doesn't want to see you, does he?" Abah answered with comfort.

"Huh?" Jeremy can't say anything if it's like this.

"Here you go, you better just go home, I have another show after this."

"If I stay here, what can I do?" Jeremy didn't run out of sense until there.

"Huh, you're joking boss, what about office money?" Whisper Nicholas who seemed to disagree, because he would hassle himself if he had to go back and forth to the place, let alone the distance is quite far.

"I also want to study religion."

"If your goal is to learn, of course you can."

"But let me meet Hanny, just for a moment, because it's about Abah's important matter."

"Young people today always dare to do anything before their wishes are achieved." Abah was just shaking his head at it.

"Please, there's something I need to talk to him about, because he can't contact Abah at all."

"Is there a problem between you?"

"Yes Abah and this is very important."

"If Abah cannot help you, in this cottage there are rules but Abah is also not God who has the right to forbid relationships between people, and in this cottage, there are no rules, but there are prohibitions that you should know in religion, that it is not advisable to do anything before becoming its mahram, understand you?"

"Understand Abah."

"Please go home first, I know your initial intention here is not to study or study in this boarding school, study religious science here is not because of the element of compulsion, so if you don't want it from the heart, it's better not to." Abah is back.

"I'm sorry for us."

"There's nothing to blame, then you can go home."

"But Abah?" Jeremy still wants to arrest Abah, but Nicholas cuts him off.

"Okay, I'm sorry to interrupt." Nicholas immediately gripped Jeremy's arm, afraid that his words would not deign in the heart of the boarding house owner.

Finally they chose to get out of Abah's room, hoping to get information about Hanny, but in fact did not get anything even with the lure of donations.

"Maybe our intentions from the beginning were not good, that's why God didn't give us a way."

Jeremy walks over with both hands that he put in his pants pocket, actually he is not willing to leave the place before meeting with Hanny, but what power, the universe seems difficult to bring the two of them together.

"Sttts... Um?"

As the two of them walked silently towards the exit of the boarding school, suddenly the santri he gave the pocket money to called them in a whisper.

"Eh... You again?" Replied Jeremy with a limp look without any spirit.

"Can't find a running wife, can't you?"

"Ckk. Her name is Hanny." Jeremy long regretted also having confided with the santri.

"Emm.. This is not kalingkong kong yes Om, only I want to give a little reply from the allowance you gave earlier, quite already mid-month can buy endomie one cottage, just I want to give a little reply from the allowance you gave earlier, quite already mid-month can make, hehe..."

"Thank God it's good for all of you."

"Sorry before, if Om really wants to meet with Aunt Hanny, Om can both join us to pray together this afternoon at the Core Mosque."

"Can I meet Hanny there?"

"Can, although it may not be able to greet each other but to just see it I think I can, because all the santri in this cottage are required to participate in congregational prayer."

"Suit it, what time does the prayer start?" Jeremy immediately smiled when there was a refreshing air.

"Depart Om, haven't you been a Adhan yet?"

"But we can't, we're outsiders." Nicholas was afraid of making another misstep.

"Indeed the mosque is usually only for us santri Om, but if you want to worship the same God cook should not, it is our duty as Muslims."

"Good Boy, thank you."

"But I'm not promising you guys to have a chat there, because this is our boarding school's rule."

"It doesn't matter, for me to see Hanny doing well, that's more than enough." Reply Jeremy firmly.

"Sip, then let's go to our room, I'll lend you a sarong and a peci for both Om."

"Are our clothes impolite so, or less cover the aurat as well?"

"It is not rude, the boundaries between the navel and the knee, but let Om both do not stand out and be the center of attention in the Mosque, it's better that Om both wear a scabbard and a peci like us."

"Whose name are you?"

"Shby Om."

"Okey Sholeh, if your pocket money is less, next time you come here again, Om will look for you yes, now Om does not bring a lot of cash." Jeremy patted Sholeh's shoulder slowly.

"Woah..thank you very much Om, then we immediately change clothes, thank God Adhan has reverberated Om."

Jeremy immediately looks excited, even though he only uses sarongs and shirts and peci, but in no way reduces the value of good looks, even increasing.

He and Nicholas even deliberately waited for Hanny near the border between female students and male students.

All the students took their seats, waiting for the voice of Iqamah to be heard, but Jeremy did not see Hanny coming to the mosque.

"Have they forgotten Nick, why haven't they come?" Bump Jeremy with a restless face.

"Where is it possible."

"Who knew they were watching a Korean drama, so forget it?" He used to see Hanny when he was joining, all he did was watch a Korean drama.

"Hey boss, this is a boarding house, not an apartment?"

"Haish.. Then where are they?"

"Heh... It's like I've seen him, but who is he?" Suddenly Nicholas's vision seemed distracted.

"Where?"

"Well, who just came?" Nicholas pointed to two women dressed in Muslim clothes who were walking towards the mosque through the women's lane.

"That's my Hanny, Bandit!"

"The cook is the Bodat, how could it be more beautiful so, uh... Yeah, that's his friend, right, woah... It's really like the angel of their heaven."

"My Hanny is so beautiful, if that's what Ex-Purel feels like Ukhti, right Nick?"

"Siji, loro, telu..mangku Purel neng karaokenan, ndemek pupu sampe mupong neng semeru!" Sontak Nicholas immediately hummed the Javanese song that is again ngehits now.

The plot!

"Be quiet, your voice is ugly!" Jeremy immediately touched his assistant's forehead.

"Aish, the song fits this." Bump Nicholas with a quick laugh.

"Hanny!"

When looking at Hanny's face that looks more beautiful and charming when using hijap syar'i, Jeremy no longer cares about where he is now, even the prohibitions that have been applied in the boarding school.

Jeremy just ran with all his might, even to the point of jumping over the guardrail, so he could meet Hanny soon.

Kraaac!

Tuiing!

"HUH!"

Jeremy forgot that he was wearing a sarong, so when he jumped it turned out that the sheath cloth was stuck at the end of the fence and something happened that Jeremy did not want.

Don't grieve, whatever you lose, because it will come back again in another form.

Umar bin Khattab...

"Don't be too hard on yourself, for the end result of all the affairs of this world has been established by God. If something is meant to get away from you, it will never come to you. But if he's meant to be with you, then you won't be able to run from him."
