The Repentance of the Sinner

99.A Destiny

...Happy Reading's...

The fear of a Nicholas seemed to grow bigger and more stifling in the recesses of his heart.

Currently he is sitting in the front row with Alisya's father and Abah, they are still waiting for the surrounding residents who still continue to arrive since then.

"Assalamu'alaikum Bang Nick?" Sholeh's whisper who immediately sat interjecting among the santri who sat beside Nicholas' line.

"Shby? you finally came too?" I don't know why he misses the child, especially with his ingenious wits who used to always help them while living in Pondok Pesantren.

"So I came a little late Bang, but when I saw Abang's car parked in front there I immediately looked for the whereabouts of Abang, owh ya. tumben now Abng choose prayer in the front row? You want to be a priest, right?" Ledek Sholeh who know their habits first who often choose in the back row.

"Kok know?" Ask Nicholas who immediately harassed Sholeh by tilting the peci he was wearing.

"Cie, who's ready to become a priest, you sure you want to do it?" Sholeh asked who was actually very happy if they came to this place, because she still did not leave for the city, she was still waiting for the new school year's college registration to open.

"Of course, although you still have doubts but you will try it?" Nicholas answered firmly, whatever he might be if it was about Alisya and also about kindness.

"What's good, for what?" Ask Sholeh next.

"Cock for what?" Nicholas immediately squinted his eyes, as if the boy knew everything in his brain.

"No way you want to be a priest if you don't use the conditions, among the students here, I know a lot about brother Nicholas and brother Jeremy, where is he now? Sholeh misses you two?" If they were not in the mosque, Sholeh might have hugged him tightly.

"Haish, you know, your other brother hasn't come yet, maybe he's still on his way here." Nicholas answered while embracing Sholeh's shoulder.

"Hehe..so what was the reason, I was curious about Bang!" Ask Sholeh back.

"It's Alisya, who else!" Whisper Nicholas back, they look like people who are dating because they just keep whispering to each other from now on.

"Hmm. I expected, you two are not much different." Sholeh smiled obliquely hearing it.

"You mean?"

"Bag with Bang Jeremy it makes no difference, willing to accept the exam must be just because of a woman's problem."

"Is it in the class of sins?" Ask Nicholas who was immediately curious.

"Yes, at least you're trying to do better in terms of kindness, than nothing, aren't you?" Sholeh is a good boy, never willing to corner someone in any way.

"But I'm still groggy Sholeh, there are tips or suggestions not let me not tremble later when I become a priest." He knew that Sholeh was a smart boy and always got the right way in everything.

"There is no, just think of Brother as ordinary prayer, but his intention to become a priest." Answer it casually.

"That's all? is there nothing more specific, more detailed that, help Abang dong?" Nicholas repeatedly nudged him.

"There's."

"Whatis that? say quickly!" Ask Nicholas with enthusiasm.

"After Iqamah's voice is echoed, Abang walk straight ahead, never have the intention to look back, okay."

"Huh? why?" Nicholas asked, increasingly curious.

"Just do it according to my advice Bang, do not forget to read the bismillah a lot and the right intention, just assume Abang only imitate the future wife of the most beloved Brother, understand Bang." Sholeh patted the arm of the man she already considered her own sister.

"But why can't I look behind Sholeh, what's the problem?"

"Nothing, just maybe it'll be hard for Brother."

"Are you willing to give an explanation or not?" Umbat Nicholas while glaring at Sholeh, he often gives puzzles in every way.

"This is only Bang's advice, regardless it's all up to you, which surely I support Brother, let's Bang now take your position, I will announce Iqamah this time." Sholeh suddenly got up from his seat, when it was about to enter his time.

"Loe set it up!" Um Nicholas who felt a little upset, because Sholeh did not give an explanation that he understood.

As usual, if Sholeh's voice is no doubt, his voice even shrill with the merdunya, making anyone who heard it will say amazed with the child.

Actually why can't I look back, what's behind?

When taking the position of priest, Nicholas seemed curious, what happened behind them, why Sholeh to suggest such a thing he thought.

Did you see it? don't you have to? follow Sholeh's advice, but.. I'm really curious, what's the matter, lest the boy just want to prank me, right?"

Wings!

By pretending to fix the peci on his head, Nicholas determined to turn towards the congregation behind.

Haaaahhhhhhhh? why so many worshipers?

After Iqamah's voice was almost finished Sholeh I held, Nicholas felt his head suddenly dizzy, his vision felt blurred, his body felt light and what happened should not happen.

Bruk!

Glodak up!

Nicholas' body fell, even his head slightly hit the pulpit nearby, finally he fainted and was unconscious for a moment.

"Haish, I told you not to look back, but he was determined too, indeed the two adult men were no different, equally as cute as a woman, but he was desperate, and both passed out at inopportune times." Umbat Sholeh shook his head before he approached the Imam's place.

"Oh my God, this one boy, Sholeh, take your brother up to your room there." Say Abah for a moment.

"Okay Abah!" Sholeh with the help of one of the students there helped lift Nicholas' body to get out of the mosque.

"Huh..had nothing passed out first, I hope that if he had the intention to hurt my daughter someday, he would faint first as well."

Being annoyed Alisya's father had unknowingly cursed Nicholas, yet he also had no right to impose his will, either, Alisya's father was only able to wipe the chest and took the position to replace Nicholas as a priest in congregational prayer that afternoon, because in recent days Abah was a little less well, he said, so often asked Alisya's father to replace her.

Not long after some time Nicholas began to smell the oil of eucalyptus and began to rub his eyes slowly.

"Abang is awake, let's drink first Bang?" Sholeh gave a glass of warm water to Nicholas.

Sholeh who had been rubbing eucalyptus oil into Nicholas' nose was relieved because he had seen signs of life from Nicholas.

"Alisya.. dear?" When his eyes had just opened, the name he had called for the first time was definitely his heart lover.

"Hmm. I'm here mas." Alisya walked over and sat down beside Nicholas' body lying on the bed.

"I why?" Asked Nicholas who was confused, because suddenly he was already in a santri room.

"You fainted Bang, just before becoming a dzuhur prayer priest, did you forget?" Sholeh reopened his voice.

"My head is spinning yank." Nicholas immediately tilted his body facing Alisya then hugged his stomach and hung his face in the most comfortable lap for him.

"Dizziness really not, because the head of the mas was a little bumped because it was hit by the mosque pulpit." Alisya tried to check for a lump on Nicholas' head.

"Hey... Keep your body away from my daughter!"

Suddenly there was a scream that Nicholas had guessed who it was.

Degh's!

*Gosh, am I not going to get the blessing of Alisya's father after this? ouch... should I pretend to faint again*? Nicholas could only nailed to the spot while closing his eyes.

"Dad, don't scold him, his head is still this swollen." Alisya tries to defend her lover.

"Huf... Sholeh, help compress your brother again yes, still this swelling." Alisya did not dare to refute it, let alone this in the Pondok Pesantren neighborhood, she could enter this room alone was very grateful she thought.

"Good brother." Sholeh came back closer to Nicholas.

"Darling, are we going back to town?" Whine Nicholas with spoiled.

"No! from now on I won't let you two alone in town!" Said Alisya's father as if giving firmness.

*Last I*!

"Dad, I'm sorry, I was actually willing to become a priest, but I don't know why I suddenly fainted, maybe I'm catching a cold Dad, Dad, don't do that because of Dad so forbid me to get in touch with Alisya, please Daddy." Nicholas tried to beg.

"Before you show your efforts to be a good priest to Alisya, do not call me Father again, understand you!"

"Pfftth... Don't you want my advice?" Sholeh even smiled when he saw Nicholas' face turned pale.

"What do you mean Bocil?"

"I didn't tell you that whatever happened, don't look back, because you'll be surprised, as long as I stay here, just this time there are outside worshipers who participate in praying together to meet the Hall of Pondok Pesantren, I was shocked especially Brother right?" Sholeh's whisper beside Nicholas' ear.

"So when I came there wasn't that much Sholeh? and this is the first time I've been a priest, if that many worshippers who wouldn't tremble?"

"That's why I advised you not to look back."

"Haish." He said while snorting in annoyance.

"Still be ashamed of you, young man?" Alisya's father returned to deny it.

"Dad, I'm really sorry."

"When I told Abah, after you have finished being a priest at the congregational prayer this afternoon, I will marry you to my daughter in front of all the worshippers."

Since it was Alisya's father's plan from yesterday to tell them to go home, he didn't want his daughter in town to misstep and do things they shouldn't have done before marriage.

"really? gosh.. I'm sorry, it's outside my power, but I can still be in a relationship with Daddy's daughter, right?" Whiney Nicholas with a face.

"It's not that easy!" Alisya's father immediately got up from his seat and wanted to go out of the room.

"Dad, don't do this, please forgive me?"

"Don't raise your voice!"

"Where is Dad going?" Alisya could only sigh repeatedly at the debate of the two men she cared about.

"Dad wants to-" His words stopped when he saw a woman walking quickly into the room followed by a man behind her.

"Assalamu'alaikum, Bandhit are you okay, said you passed out earlier?"

The krompyang!

Suddenly the steps of Alisya's father immediately stopped, even because too surprised he nudged a glass containing residual water that Nicholas drank when he just realized earlier.

"Gosh Dad, what's wrong?" Alisya was surprised, but not because Hanny arrived there.

*Is she really Diana Claire's son? his face was indeed familiar to me, he reminded me of him, astagfirullahal'adzim..what is this narrow world*?

Yesterday Alisya's father didn't quite see Hanny's face, because she was still in the car, but this time Alisya's father could clearly see Hanny's face at the closest distance.

"Well, you two weren't the ones in the wiggling car yesterday?" Ask Alisya's father trying to make sure.

"Huh? Car rocking? what do you mean?" Alisya immediately gawked as if she did not understand the meaning of her father.

*Oh my goodness, it turns out he is the father of Alisya, aish. would I put where my face is*?

Hanny tried to calm herself down.

"Good God, I'm so ashamed." Hanny lowered her head for a moment. "Eherm... Can we talk to you for a second, sir?" Alisya did not want her disgrace yesterday to be told in front of people, so she planned to hang out with Alisya's father.

*Are you my son, your face is so similar to Diana's and the colors of your eyes are so similar to mine*?

"Alright, follow me!" Alisya's father immediately walked out ahead of her.

*If it's true that he's my son, maybe it's His way to meet me with my flesh and blood that I haven't seen in years, he's innocent, he's innocent, he's innocent because I'm wrong in this, I'm sorry son.I'm sorry I failed to be a good father*.

Alisya again made gawking when he saw the attitude of his father, not usually he behaved like that and Alisya's suspicions seemed to increase, until finally he secretly followed them from behind, and then he followed them, leaving his girlfriend still lying there.
