The Ustadzah

Pesantren cottage

Miya and Mirna spend their trip chatting, trying to get rid of the boredom that hit during the trip. As far as the eye could see, only the dark trees were visible, truly a dense forest. Mirna occasionally checks her car's gasoline indicator, she is afraid to run out of gas in the middle of this forest. Luckily they had to fill the gas tank to full, after in the mini market of the city.

After their conversation ended, Miya got ready. He pulled out the veil from his suitcase bag that had been put in Mirna's car from morning. Miya changed clothes, covering all her aura. After that he took out the glass and started dressing up wearing a veil. When the blue veil had wrapped its head, Miya's cry broke. How long has it been since he used the hood?

The last time he used the basket was after High School graduation. At that moment Miya heard that her father had died, and gave all his debts to her mother who was not working. The mother, instead of struggling to pay off her debts, died a few months after her husband's death. In the condition that no brother will bear Miya with the debts, he then decided to sell himself.

After several months of selling herself with an erratic income, Miya finally tried to find work and get a job as an office girl in a company. From there Miya gets to know Mirna who eventually helps her go deeper into the world of prostitution. Mirna is also a prostitute, she is so sorry to see Miya's past. Mirna invites him to stay at her boarding house, and teaches him about nightlife.

But Miya is not as bad as Mirna had imagined, even after four years of prostituting Miya still desires to return to the path of Allah, back to Islam. Although Mirna continued to tease, mocking him, she did not expect that Miya's determination was truly unanimous. That's why Mirna was so willing to take her best friend so far, she was filled with all the struggles of Miya. Mirna cried when she cried, seeing herself wearing a veil after four years. Miya felt unworthy, she felt still so dirty, but she was unlikely to come to the boarding house in open clothes. All the way left he cried hugging Mirna who was driving.

Tonight will be proof of his encounter and today will be the end of his suffering... Miyah.

.......

It seemed like what the young man in the village had said was right, they finally made it through the dense forest. It really takes an hour to pass through this forest until it gets to the next village. Mirna and Miya immediately heaved a sigh of relief when in front of him there were several semi-permanent house buildings made of wood and straw. True, the houses in this village are much more traditional than in the previous village. Maybe because of the thick forest that was very long earlier, so slightly cut off the relationship of this village from the outside world? Mirna shook her head, not knowing that there was such a magnificent boarding house in a remote village like this.

Just now Mirna's lips will again chatter complaining, suddenly they are shocked by a large mosque on the outskirts of a large field. That must be the pesantrennya, muttered the two people. Without the need for Miya to tell, Mirna directly directed her car towards the vast field. He slowly parked his car right in front of the mosque.

Miya and Mirna got out of the car and stared at the mosque, so stunned by its splendor and cleanliness. Actually the mosque is medium-sized, but looks very luxurious and large when we compare with traditional houses along the streets of this village. The building of the mosque is made of brick, the ceramics are pure white, as well as the dome. Because of the pure white color, the light from the lights in the room bounced, making the mosque look as if it was lit in the darkness of the night.

Miya's gaze then turned towards a building next to the mosque. Being too fascinated with this white mosque, they both did not realize that there was a building more magnificent than that mosque. Next to the mosque stood a large three-story building similar to a school. Three third-floor houses lined up to form the letter U, with a small field in the middle. The small field seemed to be the entrance to the building, without reducing a bit of area from the vast field that Mirna and Miya incandescent. Unknowingly they realized, the boarding house complex was so extensive.

"Assynnya!"

Miya and Mirna were shocked to hear the voice of a woman greeting them. There was a beautiful young woman in a white hood, dressed in all white so polite and closed, half running from the terrace of the mosque. After wearing his sandals, he approached Miya and Mirna.

"Maya's mother?"

"Yes... Shinta's Ustadzah?"

"Yes mbak right..uh sorry yes mbak, so wait a long time, I was preparing the mosque earlier"

Beautiful and polite, inner Mirna, she did not expect that there was such a beautiful woman in such a remote place. His face was pure white without any pimples. Her nose was pointed, and from the way she spoke, it seemed that she was the same age as Mirna. Her polite manner, made Mirna and Miya ashamed. They should have been the ones apologizing for coming so late, even at dawn, but this young Ustadzah was the one who apologized.

Miya then greeted the Ustadzah named Shinta. Then the view of Ustadzah Shinta leads to Mirna, whose clothes are so exposed

"Who's his name?"

"Mirna wants to go to the boarding school?"

"Eh, Um... Uh, no Ustadzah! Hehe..."

"Oh so.." he said, continuing to spread smiles.

Mirna turned her face away, she looked so inferior to the chivalry shown by Ustadzah Shinta.

Miya then turned her head towards the magnificent pesantren building, it seems like she tried to code the Shinta Ustadzah to get her there immediately, obviously Mirna and Miya must be very tired and sleepy.

In the middle of the small field, from a distance, Miya saw a woman. The woman was wearing a long, black veil, covering the entire end of her body. Even his feet were invisible as the veil closed to the ground. As if his entire body was covered only by a veil, only his shoulders stood out and his face was visible. Even though her face was so pale, the woman still smiled sweetly at Miya who was looking at her in wonder from a distance, astonished because of her all-black appearance.

"Emmm... Ustadzah, if that's whose name is Ustadzah?" Miya asked as she pointed towards the black hooded woman.

Shinta's Ustadzah then turned to the direction that Miya pointed to "Which one?"

"That's Ustadzah, who wears black..."

"Huh?! Uh?"

The polite and smiling Shinta Ustadzah now looks groggy and confused. Sometimes he glanced right and left trying to find something, his behavior was not clear. Mirna seemed confused to see the behavior of Shinta Ustadzah, but Miya did not seem to ponder. He was busy staring at the black hooded woman who kept looking back at him with that smile.

"Ehm, it seems to be near the dawn of Miya... I permit the dawn adhan first yes, Miya same mbak Mirna if you want to follow the prayer please, where the wudhunya next door"

Ustadzah Miya then pointed to the side of the mosque that leads to the pesantren building, it seems that on that side there is a place to take ablution. The words of Ustadzah Shinta broke the concentration of Miya, he had not had time to agree to the invitation of Ustadzah Shinta, the beautiful Ustadzah hurriedly went to the mosque.

"Na, pray ayok..."

"No ah... Ustadzah you're weird..."

Miya was silent at the words of her friend.

"Lu sure Yak? Want to go to the hotel here?"
