We are Santri Not Artists
Episodes 138. When All Santri Tense.



The sun has not fully illuminated the earth, the sky still looks dark and the atmosphere at dawn is still very cold. Azmi and Ahkam sat in a chair near their room to study together before the bell rang to teach the book.


Ahkam was very serious about listening to Azmi read his book he also confirmed the wrong reading of Azmi. While Muhklis also monitored Aban reading his book sitting near the seat next to Azmi and Ahkam.


Not only Azmi and her roommates can be seen all the students are very solemn read the book they do not want to be punished they also have to study in a very short time.


The sounds of santri sound vaguely clearly enliven the atmosphere of the boarding school which is still very early and cold. They all held back their drowsiness in order to read the book smoothly in front of Kyai.


Tetttt.....


The bell rang loudly, immediately all the santri stepped towards the Masjid with a crowd. The feet of the children of Sholeh stepped into the mosque that had been prepared for the test. Kyai had also sat in her place ready to test all her sorcery.


The seniors sat in front at Kyai's behest, none of them refusing to be ready to sit in the front row as leaders for the budding students.


When everyone is sitting neatly with the book they hold. Ustadz Abdullah started giving Kyai a microphone. Kyai was very grateful along with the microphone he received from Ustadz Abdullah. Staring at the students did not forget Kyai said bismillah first and then he started the conversation.


" Ashalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarkatuh" Kyai.


" Wa'alaikumsalam warahmatulli wabarakatuh, "answer everything.


" How? Ready already? " Kyeah.


Reply long....


Mutually fool around and Azmi just looked down then...


" Siaaapppp, "santri said a little with a small tone not too clearly heard by Kyai.


" The other one? " tanya Kyai assured all her santri.


" God willing, ready Kyai, "answer all the santri though not so eager and convincing.


Kyai had a small smile knowing that she was not a little nervous or not ready at all for this test. They can only surrender and must obey what Kyai says or commands.


Very clear looking tense faces shown santri-santri. Only the seniors were relaxed enough as they were used to it.


" Ready not ready, must be ready, yes! Able to not be able you should be able to read the book from me, there are 20 students who I randomly pointed. It is a little, but I hope that whoever is appointed later, is able to read their book and anyone who is not appointed later, can also read the book. Later, on the night of returning as usual there is also the most awaited event from Syubbanul Muslimin, I am very proud of those who want to join the hadrah team to make a pretation in our pesantren, applause, for members of the Muslim Syubbanul, "Kyai.


All the santri immediately applauded them with a very lively and proud to be amazed by the Muslim Syubbanul team that has added to the achievements in this pesantren.


Another case with Zakir who refused to applaud and even stared cynically Azmi and Aban.


" Alhamdulillah, now let's just start, "Kyai.


This was a very stressful time all the santri lowered their heads not daring to raise their heads.


With the flashlight that Kyai brought to appoint his chosen santri he immediately pointed to Ahkam as the reader of the first exegetical book.


The flashlight was directed at Ahkam's face.


" Read page 12, top word!" kyai's orders were firmly established after opening the page on his book.


Ustadz Abdullah quickly gave Ahkam a microphone.


Starting with his bismillah and sighing, Ahkam prepared to read his exegetical book trying to show his best. Without even stammering, Ahkam was able to read the book that Kyai commanded.


Ahkam's intelligence in reading the book is greatly admired by all students. They all looked at Ahkam who was not interrupted in reading his book even Azmi and Aban to the point of not blinking a single glance at Ahkam who was very good at deciphering all interpretations.


" That's enough!" Kyai firmly made Ahkam stop reading his book.


Kyai nodded slowly and smiled at Ahkam.


" Barakallah, " said Kyai glad to see the ability of Ahkam.


Ahkam kissed his book and said hamdalah he looked so happy because there was no knock from Kyai.


Next Kyai flashlighted towards Ali suddenly made Ali tensed with cold sweat.


" Ali, read the first page!" kyai's orders.


Ali looked very tense his heart was pounding. The microphone rolled up to Ali.


Ali's hand shook holding the microphone he tried to read the prophet sholawat to feel calm. When it was a little quiet then Ali read the book of Kyai's orders.


Ali was a little stammered but he had absolutely no mistake in reading his book even though sometimes he still digested what he wrote but Ali was quite good.


Ali stopped his book at once he did not think that he had finished reading.


The rest of Santri grew increasingly tense and afraid they would lower their heads slightly.


Kyai continues to firmly point at his santri, there was a wrong santri but he can re-interpret the book correctly. There are also santri who interpret the book very slowly, some vibrate their voice but not a few santri who are able to read smoothly.


18 Santri have been appointed, the remaining tension of the other santri is still unresolved.


" 2 more, hopefully not me, "Zakir raised his hand hoping not to be the one appointed.


The flashlight beam towards Zakir's face made Zakir startled and suddenly frightened he was so nervous he just wanted to be happy but instead Kyai pointed at him.


The microphone is rolled up to Zakir. Zakir began to receive the microphone given to him a tense and panicked face clearly visible in his face.


Azmi and Aban who were beside him had a glimpse of him.


" Come, read page 3, last word!" Kyai.


Zakir was so tense he opened his book on page 3.


" Bismillah Kir, " whispered Helmi who was beside him.


The microphone began to sit near his mouth by reading bismillah before starting reading his book.


Zakir was so slow to read his book that it was not even heard clearly by Kyai.


" Stop! " Kyai made Zakir stop his reading and look at Kyai's focus.


" The clear reading," Kyai ordered.


Zakir read his book again clearly and can be heard by all students even though he was very stubborn even Zakir's voice sounded vibrating due to being too awkward.


Tok


" Returned, from wa qala, "Kyai gave a knock to Zakir who misread his book.


Zakir began to repeat his book. Fortunately, he only got 2 beats, if up to 3 beats, Zakir was declared a failure and will get a penalty.


" Yes, enough! " Kyai stopped Zakir's reading so slowly.


Zakir stopped reading his book and finally the tension was over.


" Student study yes, "Kyai.


" Good Kyai, " replied Zakir with the microphone he was still holding.


" Barakallah, " Kyai.


There was only one more santri, and Kyai saw Azmi sitting down near Aban.


Kyai flashing towards Azmi, Azmi began to straighten her body and began to focus while preparing her book.


Zakir rolled his microphone to the santri next to him until he reached Azmi.


" Read the last page of Mi!" Kyai resolute.


The microphone has been received Azmi and he opens his book on the last page of study.


" The spirit of Mi, bismillah" whispered Aban.


Azmi smiles and nods her head she looks not too tense like Zakir, Azmi also does not panic she tries to stay calm.


With taawudz and basmalah Azmi began to read his book firmly and clearly until the end. All the students were amazed by Azmi who was able to read his book smoothly even though he was not a senior.


" enough! Thank God, "Kyeah.


Azmi's face was very happy beaming he rubbed his face feeling very happy because he did not get a knock from Kyai.


" Barakallah, " Kyai.


Lost already the sense of tension all santri, they began to wipe their faces that came out because of the cold.


Seriate...
