The Ustadzah

Nyi Wati Ustadzah

Sweat immediately splashed on Miya's face. He was so nervous that he was still sitting there not moving even though Ustadzah Imah had told him to go up the dark stairs.

"Please Ride nak Miya, then sit in front of the room Ustadzah Nyi Wati .." said Ustadzah Ulun.

"Emc ... Ustadzah... Can the lights be turned on first?"

"No need to fear, Ustadzah Nyi Wati the founder of this boarding school. To be more solemn he said .." explained Ustadzah Imah.

"But ..."

"It's okay ... Who was that kid?" sambar Ustadzah Ulun's.

"Miyya ... Ustadzah"

"Oh yes, sorry. It's okay, son Miya, Ustadzah Nyi Wati is a little quiet. But actually he was so good. The condition of Ustazah Nyi Wati is a little weak, if he does not talk to Nak Miya, just go down" Ustadzah Ulun explained.

"Don't hesitate .. just go up!" Add the Romah Ustadzah with a half-stomping.

Ustadzah Romah speech with a high tone that made Miya rise, he was more afraid of being scolded by the new Ustadzah-Ustadzah. Miya's heart was beating even faster as her legs began to touch the wooden steps. Then he sat down, trying to pray and convince himself. O Allah .. protect this servant of yours, his prayer in the heart. Then, Miya steadied her steps, going upstairs.

Arriving on the second floor, darkness immediately enveloped around Miya. Unusual darkness, it feels like you can see something in front of you but it is not intact, as if there is a black fog surrounding your gaze. The stairs lead Miya to a wall at the end of the second-floor room. Miya then turned around and found another hall in front of her. This 2nd floor hall was smaller because of the long wall that cut through it. On the wall was a door that connected to another room? Is that the room of Ustadzah Nyi Wati? Miya did not know and did not want to explore, she preferred to directly sit in front of the room.

Miya's hair was horrified, because she was now alone in the middle of the dark room, there was no light, no sound, very quiet. Miya also does not know what to do after this .. time just sit? Waiting who? It is strange for someone who is the leader of a boarding school but is so fond of darkness like this, whether Ustadzah Nyi Wati is gil ...

Ckreeeeeeek

My heart stopped for a moment. Suddenly the door in front of him opened. Seen hands full of wrinkles clad in black cloth gripped the door leaf, pushing it out. Then the figure of a skinny old woman, wearing a veil and all-black clothes, came out of that door. The old woman .. was the woman Miya had seen in the field before the Fajr prayer. And just like back then, this old woman also smiled warmly at Miya.

Although her smile was so warm, but could not lift up the fear of Miya's heart. He was getting nervous and scared, but Miya could only shut up when the old woman sat in front of Miya.

"Assalamualaikum Nak .." said the woman softly.

Hearing the old woman's soft words, Miya's fear disappeared a little. He then ventured to return his greetings.

"W-Waalaikum greetings ... U-Ustadzah ..."

"Nyi Wati .." said the woman with a smile.

Miya was surprised, it turned out that the one who saw it from a distance at that time was Nyi Wati's own Ustadzah. Miya then advanced forward and immediately grabbed the wrinkled hand of Ustadzah Nyi Wati. He then kissed the old woman's wrinkled hands. Seeing Miya's actions, Ustadzah Nyi Wati directly stroked Miya's veil.

"Have, son .. It doesn't have to be like this."

Miya then took off the hands of Ustadzah Nyi Wati. "Good Ustadzah"

The nervousness and fear in Miya's heart instantly disappeared, she was so happy because Nyi Wati's Ustadzah turned out so good. Although the appearance was so scary, maybe because the lights of this room are not turned on.

"Emc ... Ustadzah .. can the light be lit?" ask Miya.

It's really uncomfortable to be in the dark like this. Moreover, Miya was actually not very clear to see the face of Ustadzah Nyi Wati.

"Son Miyagi ..." Nyi Wati's Ustadzah seemed to ignore Miya's speech earlier. "Ustadzah is proud of Nak Miya..."

The voice of this old woman was so raucous, it seemed that her age was really old. But he spoke so fluently, unlike the old man in general. Miya was speechless, she did not know what Ustadzah Nyi Wati was proud of her.

"Although Nak Miya lives in the midst of the world, but the heart of Nak Miya continues to be in the way of Allah ... Alhamdulillah" said Ustadzah Nyi Wati

"God's Insha ... God will repay all good deeds, son Miya. Huge reward from paying off debt, especially the debt of the parents themselves. Even so, son Miya .. still sin the way son Miya in looking for the treasure. ... But it's okay son ... Bismillahirahmanirahim, He is Forgiving to those who repent"

(QS.Al-Area:25)

"But, with son Miya came here .. study religion .. return to Islam. Isha Allah, Allah will forgive all sins son Miya ... Indeed, Allah loves those who repent and loves those who purify themselves"

QS.Al-Baqarah:222)

"Thank you Ustadzah Nyi Wati .. Thank you, Miya for guidance, to get back on the right path" Miya replied sobbing.

"Ask Allah SWT guidance son, Ustadzah Nyi Wati here only as an intermediary. Insha Allah, Miya will be guided ... Amin ya rabbal alamin"

"Amin ya rabbal alamin" said Miya, following the prayer Ustadzah Nyi Wati.

"Bismillahirahmanirahim, with this .. nak Miya officially become santriwati here ..."

Ustadzah Nyi Wati then stood up and rubbed back Miya's head. Miya then grabbed and once again kissed the wrinkled hand. Then Ustadzah Nyi Wati invited Miya to pray together. What a prayer offered by Ustadzah Nyi Wati was so solemn and deep, Miya again shed tears. Plus the atmosphere was so quiet, making the prayers of the two people echo throughout the room. After he finished praying, Ustadzah Nyi Wati then went back into his room.

"Son Miya! Nak Miya!"

BRUK BRUK BRUK BRUK

Suddenly from the direction of the stairs came the voice of Ustadzah Imah who shouted loudly, followed by the sound of the soles of the feet that were climbing the stairs. Miya looked up at the stairs and ...

BLIPS

The second floor room light instantly lit up. Miya who was used to the darkness immediately squinted her eyes due to the glare. But he could see Ustadzah Imah standing at the mouth of the stairs looking so panicked at Miya. Ustadzah Imah then ran towards the room Ustadzah Nyi Wati in a hurry. Then, he immediately entered and peeked at the room Ustadzah Nyi Wati is still open, it seems Ustadzah Nyi Wati has not had time to close the door of the room.

Ustadzah Imah's face was so frightened with sweat pouring down his forehead. He then closed the door to Ustadzah Nyi Wati.

"You came in?!!"

"E-eh .. not Ustadzah"

"REQUESTLY ANSWER!" Ustadzah Imah Bentak

"T-No Ustadzah" replied Miya stammeringly.

Ustadzah Imah then glanced right and left, as if afraid of something. Miya who was confused by Ustadzah Imah's behavior dared to ask.

"U-Ustadzah ... What's up?"

"HOW CAN THE DOOR BE OPEN?"

"So Ustadzah Nyi Wati came out, found Miya Ustadzah"

Ustadzah Imah immediately glared at Miya. He was chased by the devil, his face bent fearlessly.

"M-Indeed ... Why Ustadzah?"

Ustadzah Imah did not immediately reply, he continued to glance right and left unclear. For a while they both kept quiet for a moment, because Miya also did not know what Ustadzah Imah was afraid of.

"E-Eh .. emmm .. It's okay! Ustadzah called out to Miya many times, but you didn't hear!"

Miya looked at the confused Ustadzah Imah, she felt unheard when called. From earlier, he was busy talking to Ustadzah Nyi Wati, then suddenly Ustadzah Imah appeared and panicked himself like this. Soon after, he turned indignant. Miya clearly did not understand the behavior of Ustadzah Imah, instead of just doing what he ordered? What's wrong?

"Already-Already! Comeondown!" Bentak Ustadzah Imah's.

Ustadzah Imah then took Miya forcibly. The two of them then hurriedly, descended back into the first-floor hall.
