We are Santri Not Artists

Episodes 137. Sudden.

All the santri have finished praying isya' they have also finished dzikran and praying which was led by Ustadz Abdullah as the imam of prayer. The atmosphere was very quiet, there was only the sound of crickets making the atmosphere a little sound. All the santri did not dare to speak in the slightest they were still waiting for Kyai's arrival.

They are still patiently waiting even though the time continues to run and remember their bodies are still tired because a full day has not been able to rest enough.

In order not to sleep, the students try to make themselves busy like playing fingers, counting seconds while looking at the clock, rubbing their faces not even a little bit there is a thumping "ahem " make the quiet atmosphere a little noisy.

Azmi is bored but she tries to straighten herself while rubbing her face which is clear that she is very tired.

Ustadz Abdullah and Ustadz Ridwan felt sorry to see the santri who were very tired and bored.

" Hope you patience, soon Kyai will come, "Ustadz Abdullah.

" Yes, Kyai said that there was a little problem and a few minutes ago he just left, " continued Ustadz Ridwan.

The santri understand the situation they are still waiting even though the drowsiness is getting heavier.

Not long after...

" Assalamualaikum, " Kyai said as he continued to move on.

" Wa'alaikumsalam warahmatulli wabarakatuh, "answer everything simultaneously turned towards Kyai.

Immediately Ustadz Ridwan and Ustadz Abdullah stood up to greet Kyai's hand, after which they immediately invited Kyai to sit down.

" I'm sorry to all of you, for waiting so long, "Kyai.

" It's okay Kyai, "answer some santri with the other santri who just nodded.

" It looks like you've all drowned, huh? " ask Kyai.

The santri did not dare to answer but their faces had already answered all of them, the faces of the santri are indeed very dull with their eyes that are also red and not a little santri who come out of tears due to very sleepy and tired.

" Alright, I want to announce to all students both senior and beginner for tomorrow you are all preparing to read the exegesis. Tomorrow morning after dawn I will appoint anyone to read the book that I have taught, if there is anyone who can not be punished later, "Kyai.

The santri who had been very sleepy became very tense and shocked.

" Well, how come all of a sudden gini, anyway? " Zakir.

" Where is my book that has not been filled, " complained Rifki.

" Where is this? I'm afraid I can't read" Helmi.

" Same Hel, Kyai suddenly, " continued Sihin.

Not only them, the other santri was noisy because of fear, shock and panic because Kyai very suddenly announced it. While Azmi who was also shocked could not speak anymore she just sat up straight for a while to receive what she heard, the tired Azmi could only resignedly hold her forehead while looking down.

" Hushhh... Please not many! Remember there's Kyai here. Take care of your adab! " strictly Ustadz Abdullah.

With a moment of silence, the students refocused on looking at and listening to Kyai.

" why? Are you all not ready? " ask Kyai.

" I'm not ready Kyai, why point (session to appoint anyone santri to read the book from Kyai) suddenly Kyai? " Udin bravely raised his hand and honestly said his heart.

" It was sudden, right? Ahkam, Muhklis and other seniors, you must have known that reading books from me is always sudden and no one knows, right? " Kyai turned his head towards Ahkam who was sitting right in front of Kyai.

Eventually all the santri had to accept the assignment from Kyai. In a limp state they descended from the Mosque until yawned along the way while covering their mouths with their right hands.

Arriving in Azmi's room looks limp he sat on his mattress while looking down and holding his forehead.

" Why Mi? Dizziness? " tanya Muhklis sat down on her bed. Azmi turned her head slowly towards Muhklis with red eyes she also had time to look at Ahkam and Aban who were also watching her.

" How about not getting dizzy, bang? Tomorrow if I can't read the book, what? " Azmi again lowered her head not only that, because it was so dizzy she took off her pecans and ruffled her hair with both hands and then she lowered her head with the right palm that touched her forehead.

While Ahkam even laughed a little at Azmi's behavior.

" Don't get dizzy, Mi. I'm sure you can tomorrow, " Ahkam.

" I am confused, why does Kyai always suddenly tell us to read his teaching book? " ask Aban who looks confused.

" You're calm, not all are appointed. Later sit the very back just keep close to the wall or at the corner so as not to be pointed. " Muhklis.

" Well, if you're sitting there won't be pointed out, bang? " ask Azmi so enthusiastically.

Muhklis just laughed a little not answering Azmi's question which made Azmi even more confused and dizzy his gaze was very sharp to Mukhlis.

" Hush, you're Klis, you're telling me what's not right. Azmi, Aban, the reason Kyai pointed out is always sudden so that all his students always learn and read the book he has given. Not just studying exam time, so Kyai is always sudden, so all students here have a mentality that must always be ready. See, their experienced mas-mas always muthala'ah (repeating the knowledge that has just been given) so that later they can read the book when designated Kyai, " obviously Ahkam to Azmi and Aban who focus on listening.

Azmi and Aban begin to understand they can not do anything and must be ready for tomorrow no matter the circumstances.

" Yes, I understand, "Azmi.

" I am too, " continued Aban.

" Just relax Mi, Ban, don't be too thought of for tomorrow. I'm sure you can do it! " Muhklis.

" Aamiin, "Azmi and Aban together while rubbing their faces.

" Okay, now that you rest, it's so red in her eyes, " Ahkam.

" Yes, I'm not very strong. Eh Ban, "Azmi at once he remembered the trust of Ustadz Abdullah which he had not given to Aban.

" huh? What Mi? " ask Aban who was just about to lay down herself stopped because of Azmi's sudden call.

" Ustadz Abdullah said, tomorrow we are asked to take a school break to the office, "Azmi.

" What? " Aban's.

" I don't know either, Ustadz Abdullah didn't tell me, "Azmi replied.

" Heh, arek-arek, have you said that? I want to turn this light on, "Muhklis.

" Oh yeah bang, please, "Azmi he spilled himself did not forget to read the previous prayer and he closed his eyes as well as Aban who was very tired.

The lights have been turned off by Muhklis, Azmi, Aban and Ahkam have also been late in their sleep. Muhkis walked slowly to his bed and began to sleep.
