Trapped In Love In Pesantren

Chapter 9's

"Whose match are you with, son?" Kiai Rifki wondered.

"Loh, astaghfirullah" said Yusuf keceplosan. It made him ashamed of himself. Moreover, Ummi and his Aby apparently he did not tell you at all.

"Hehe, joke, Mi. Yusuf eror. I think it's the effect of the operation" Yusuf said. He intends to tell both parents later when at home only. In fact, Kiai Rifki already know from Raihan, only Ummi who does not know.

"Oh, Ummi was shocked first. You can't move on from Kirani yet. No matter who you are anymore. Make it a shock for you, Suf." said Ummi Susi who immediately pinched the cheek of her son.

"Aww, Mi. Pain tau." lamented Joseph while holding his cheeks slightly reddened.

Joseph finally smiled happily, he felt lately a lot of people love him. In the past, when Ummi and his Aby were not harmonious. Joseph was so lonely. Rabi'ah's older brother, chose to study outside the city and rarely went home. At least Eid ul-Fitr and Eid al-Adha only the brother came home. It was forced, because the first child tends to be selfish and wants at will.

While his sister, very indifferent to the circumstances that exist. He chose Junior High School until now High School in East Java pesantren. Only Joseph felt the pain of the rift. In addition, Kiai Rifki apparently had the intention to complain about the Ummi. It suddenly made his little family shaken and almost on the verge of collapse.

Pesantren who was a lot of santri, due to internal problems, many students who complained and finally chose to get out of the boarding school Ar-Rizqon. Only Joseph survived in his cottage, because he remained in school from Elementary School to High School in the boarding school. Then in the end, he was able to breathe a sigh of relief, when the brother named Rabi'ah returned to the boarding school after his lecture was finished.

Rabi'ah served in the pesantren for four years. During the pesantren, she had to LDR-an with the lover who is now her husband. Her husband is a Gus from East Java, where her sister is studying at this time. They met while both were in college in Bandung and finally decided to get married and the sister is currently with her husband serving in the boarding school.

While Yusuf is still in the process of thesis, precisely in Jakarta. Yes, he is a student at the University of Indonesia. So when the students decided to vacation in Jakarta, where Yusuf studied. So it was Yusuf himself who happily drove them, like a tour guide, and then watched over the students.

In Joseph boarding school, indeed the santri always hold Rihlah (Bertamasya). Incidentally, the rihlah is held once a year. The Rihlah is used as a program every year in pesantren, so that the students are not saturated, and they even as a santri, can feel the natural tadabur and berbafakkur, and they can feel the natural tadabur, remembering that we live in this world is temporary.

The rihlah or journey, is often related as is our life in the world. Where, we are actually just guests who are stopping temporarily, then will return to the eternal house later, the hereafter. There are only two choices, if Allah wills, then the place where the believers return is Heaven. On the contrary, perhaps if the unbelievers or so-called unbelievers believe in Allah, then the place of return will be in Hell. Naudzubillah.

Last year, the santri had time to make a pilgrimage to Walisongo, starting to Cirebon, the place of Sheikh Sunan Gunung Djati or often called as Sharif Hidayatullah. Then to Gresik in East Java, where Sunan Gresik whose real name is Maulana Malik Ibrahim, he is also known as Malik Morocco. There is also the tomb of Shaykh Sunan Giri, whose real name is Maulana 'Ainul Yaqin. He is also often called Raden Paku, Prabu Satmata, Sultan Abdul Faqih, Raden 'Ainul Yaqin and Joko Samudro.

Then the santri also traveled to Surabaya, where Shaykh Sunan Ampel called Raden Rahmat. His real name is Raden Mohammad Ali Rohmatullah. The tomb of Sunan Bonang in Tuban. He was the fourth son of Sunan Ampel, whose full name was Maulana Maqdum Ibrahim. After that, they went to the tomb of Shaykh Sunan Drajat in Lamongan. His real name is Raden Syarifuddin or Raden Qosim. He was also the son of Sunan Ampel, and his younger brother Sunan Bonang.

Then, move to Central Java. First they visited the tomb of Sunan Muria in Kudus. He is often called Raden Umar Sa'id. He is the youngest guardian to spread Islam in Central Java. Continuing to his grave Sunan Kalijaga di Demak. He is often called Raden Said. His way of preaching was so phenomenal and quite famous among the community, which is commonly called wayang.

Then they went to his tomb Sunan Kudus which is still located in Central Java, namely Pejaten, Kauman, Kudus. He is also often referred to as Ja'far Shadiq.

Yes, every year the journey is sometimes different. How the outcome of the deal of his students. Kiai Rifki and Bu Nyai Susi as the main caregivers also give freedom to the students to choose, where they will rihlah. Then the managers santri, or commonly called Musrif/ah. They will take care of their students, both in pesantren and outside pesantren.

(I.e., outside the pesantren, such as the activities of this rihlah and also the matter of the return of the santri to his house or permission to his house, if there really is an urgent business).

Such is the life of pesantren, it sounds tired, not at home, suffer. But rest assured, all that is your learning in the future life. Where when you plunge into society later, then the learning is indirectly taught in pesantren. Can be practiced well one day in the community environment.

"You don't? A Yusuf is now in the hospital" said one santriah named Citra. He is indeed a famous santri cherry and also flirtatious to Joseph.

"Well, how can you? No, you know where it is from. A Yusuf in the hospital?" sekar, his friend Citra.

"There should be A Faisal in front. He said we're going home today. Considering A Joseph was treated, then there is only the steward of the boarding school who takes care of us. Meanwhile, every time we rihlah right, A Joseph always take full responsibility. Where is the news of Bu Nyai with Pak Kiai is also now in the hospital. Obviously, the pain of A Yusuf must be severe." Citra said at length.

"Well, I guess, A Yusuf why? Yesterday was okay?" think Sekar.

"Well, I'm also worried about my future husband."

"Dwelling, haluuu. I wouldn't want A Yusuf with you. Conscious Image, banguuun!" teriaki Sekar is right in Citra's eardrum.

"Damn, Lu! Look, I could be A Yusuf's wife."

"Don't be too confident. Model A Yusuf, must have had a girl or not betrothed the same ma nyai, pa kiai." warn Sekar on Citra.

"Heuh, whatever, ah! Most importantly, I hope. I also try times, as a whole, I'm pretty too. Where can A Yusuf nolak."

"Hey you guys. Not in the storm. Let's get into the hotel. We should pack up soon. Soon the bus will come." rebuked one of the musyrifahs, who broke up a small debate between Sekar and Citra.

"Well, Tea." said they were both compact.

"Huh. Fuck the nyebelin musyrifah!" citra sebal.

"Eat it, don't be too shy. Later the fall of bangett's pain." ledek Sekar who is now away from Citra.

"Very well, kamuu!" Citra also pursued Sekar who was far ahead of him.

"Sir Rafa?" tiara was shocked, as the man was already sitting beside her. Precisely in a hospital garden chair that indirectly faces the direction of a shower that is so beautiful when viewed.

"Panglings. You're getting prettier, Ti." said the man named Rafa.

"Ah, no. I'm not comfortable. Am I now a gini? Is this me? I was still confused as to whether my decision was correct." she confided in the man.

"True or not. It depends on you, Ti. If I look at myself as a man. Looking at a woman like you is expensive. Wh why? Because pearls will be very beautiful and will never be touched by anyone. Its beauty will be eternal and can not be enjoyed by anyone. Such is the image of the women who take care of her aura, her honor, also her purity. So, only a real man will get the woman, and it is not possible for a man to get it" said Rafa honestly.

"It's so beautiful. Suppose you want to be my lover, Rafa's sister." Tiara murmured in her heart.

Fyi: Rafa is Tiara's upperclassman back in Junior High.

"Em, great. Big brother turns out to be good at words." praise Tiara to Rafa.

"Hehe, not really. Itumah just so happened. Btw, what are you doing here?" ask Rafa.

"For a sick friend, brother. Kaka himself?" ask Tiara back.

"Mom nganter. It just so happens that my mother from yesterday was treated here. Please pray yes." said Rafa sincerely.

"May mother brother, soon recover and the disease soon be lifted, yes." hope Tiara.

"Aamiinu. Thank you Tiara."

"Oh yeah, you graduated. Where are you going to school?" ask the young man back.

"I." haven't had a chance to say, suddenly Tiara was summoned by someone from a distance.

"Yusuf? Why is dih calling me all." muttered Tiara slowly as she scrunched her bow.

"That's your temen, Ti?" said Rafa who immediately turned to the source of the voice.

"I-iya" said Tiara stammered.

Joseph approached Tiara in a wheelchair. He was pushed by Faisal who happened to be Faisal immediately visited him after he went to the Bogor area to take his parents.

"Oh this, what's Tiara's name?" faisal murmured with a grinning smile towards Joseph.

"Whisper!" joseph said screeching.

"That's mending?" tiara's greeting to Joseph. While Joseph was currently investigating the man who was beside Tiara. He did not answer Tiara's question.

"Known. I'm Rafa." say hello to Yusuf.

"Yusuf." he answered flatly.

"This is my upperclassman." introduce Tiara to Yusuf.

"Oh." instantly, the atmosphere became awkward.

Indeed, Joseph had no right to be jealous, because however his betrothal was still kept secret and Tiara did not know it. So with all his might, he restrained his anger. Then let Tiara resume her conversation with the man, although it was undeniable, Joseph's heart was indeed slightly wounded.

"Ti, I'm saying yes! I'm afraid I'm afraid." said Rafa to Tiara. Tiara nodded her head, then watched Rafa until he moved away and disappeared from her sight.

"Ekhem." dehem Yusuf to Tiara.

"Eh." Tiara was wrong. He did not realize that Joseph was still there.

"Do you like that guy?" search Yusuf.

"Em, how are you? If you say you like, yes you like. But what is God's destiny. Even if a match, God willing will be reunited." Tiara's words just made her heart scratched so painfully.

Meanwhile, Faisal was gaping to hear the narration. Just this time, he saw the model man Joseph dumped. He did not expect, the type of Tiara is not like Joseph whose handsome is typical of Arab men. But a model like Rafa, whose face is like Jefry Nichol.
