Not long after they arrived at the boarding school, a security guard who still had not returned home because he was waiting for Kyai's arrival, was ready to open the gate.

" Thank you sir, " said Kyai from the car while smiling at the security guard.

" Together Kyai, please. "the security guard with his hospitality.

Kyai and Mustafa ustadz cars are lying next to each other, the pesantren looks already deserted there are only a few santri who are still passing.

" Yes, you all take a break, because tomorrow you have to start your usual activities again. " Kyeah.

" Good Kyai, "answer all the santri.

" Wait!, "Ustadz Mustafa immediately to the Syubband team who want to greet Kyai's hand.

" What's up?, there's still something to talk about, isn't there?" asked Kyai.

" Yes, just for a moment. " Ustadz Mustafa approached Kyai and members of Syubband.

" What's up, ustadz?" asked Azmi.

" Tomorrow I want to meet you guys, we'll practice tomorrow you're done teaching in the afternoon, can you?. " Ustadz Mustafa's.

" What's up, Ustadz, do we want to practice again?" asked Ali.

" Yes, I want to train you tomorrow, because tomorrow I have free time, " replied Ustadz Mustafa.

" Yes kids, you want to, after school that afternoon when you relax, right?. " Kyai looked at one by one his santri.

The members of Syubband did not quickly answer them to each other and hesitated to answer whereas, Azmi could only be silent with her eyes already red and her old kiss waiting for her senior decision.

" Good ustadz, we can. " replied Ahkam firmly.

" Thank God, you rest now. See you tomorrow, everyone, "Ustadz Mustafa.

" Yes ustadz, "answer everything compactly.

Starting from Ahkam, one by one they greet the hands of Kyai and Ustadz Mustafa while saying greetings after kissing the palms of Kyai and ustadz.

" Wa'alaikumsalam, " Kyai answered along with Mustafa ustadz.

The members of Syubband began to step towards their room, Akmal looked very pale, Ali who knew it immediately stopped Akmal's steps by pulling Akmal's hand.

" Mal, why are you?" asked Ali to show his worried face.

All the members stopped their steps considering Akmal's illness.

" No Li, I'm good, no papa, "Akmal replied in a soft tone as he looked away at Ali and the other friends and looked down again.

" Mal, your face is pale, is anyone sick Mal?. "ask Ahkam too worried.

" Akmal, if someone is sick say yes, we will report to Kyai. So that Akmal mas brought to the hospital." said Azmi afraid Akmal why-napa.

" No Ahkam, Azmi, I am not sick, "Akmal tried hard and dared to look at Ahkam and Ali.

" Mall, until tenan no opo'o, which is honest after all Mal, "add Udin using his jaw dialect he was also worried about Akmal's condition.

Akmal looked at Udin while smiling.

" You're too worried about me, I'm serious. I'm not papa, just calm down, now let's take a break, come on, your eyes are all on that red, come on, " Akmal melted the atmosphere with his gentle and firm speech as if he was fine.

The members of Syubband remained silent looking at Akmal as they were very worried about Akmal's state.

" Yo, how dumb?, come on, you all don't sleep?. " Akmal looked at all his friends who were still hesitating with him.

" Oh yes, come on, we go to each room," asked Muhklis while wiping his eyes that let out water due to sleepiness and fatigue.

Ahkam nodded his head.

" Come on everyone, "let Ahkam start stepping.

Azmi and all of them also started to step towards their respective rooms.

Arriving in the room, Azmi immediately laid herself on her soft mattress while tightly hugging her bolsters and closing her eyes.

Azmi immediately raised her head and turned towards Mukhlis with a peci that was still attached to look out of his head.

" I was so sleepy, " said Azmi half-circumcised and re-hugged tightly.

" Mad, bang, I'm thinking the same thing about Akmal. He was really fine, huh?" asked Aban who was sitting on his bed with red eyes.

" Yes, same Ban, I hope Akmal really does not papa, " said Ahkam looking at Aban.

Hearing that Azmi sat back down and took off her pecans.

" Hopefully Akmal did not hide his pain mas, I was worried that Akmal already knew his illness and he did not want us to worry, " said Azmi showed a serious expression while looking at Ahkam.

" Don't let Mi, I feel sorry for Akmal, "Muhklis shows his concern.

" Hopefully not Mi, "Aban added.

" We pray for Akmal, that he will recover from his illness. " ahkams.

" Aamiin.." said everyone, Azmi rubbed her face after saying aamiin.

" Yo wes, now we sleep, " Muhklis.

" I'll turn the lights on, you're quickly ready for position. " Akham who stood up was about to turn off the lights.

" Okay ready, " said Azmi soon to lay down himself as well as Muhklis and Aban.

Cklek....

The lights turned off the dark and did not look anything, Ahkam slowly walked towards his bed feeling because he could not see anything in the dark room conditions.

Ahkam sat on his bed he still opened his eyes.

" Are you asleep?. "ask Ahkam idly.

No answer, quiet...

" Okay, sleep well, may the dream be good." said Ahkam began to stretch himself to recite the prayer before going to bed and closed his eyes.

The atmosphere of the pesantren is very quiet, the breeze of the night accompanies the silence of the night.

...**********************...

Akmal has not slept and chooses to sit outside the room enjoying the cold of the night while looking at the pesantren. Ali, who knew Akmal was still outside, walked up to him and sat down beside him.

" Have not slept Mal? , the night is getting late, you know, "said Ali looked at his friend who was fun to draw the atmosphere of the night.

" Entar Li, look at our boarding school. Gini night time, everything is on break but, tomorrow everything is back crowded, everyone is back to study at this boarding school." Akmal while smiling at a glance turned towards Ali and looked back at the quiet atmosphere of the boarding school.

" Yes Mal, it doesn't take us nearly 6 years here, "Ali.

Akmal laughed and started looking at Ali.

" Yes Li, and soon we will meet with farewell, "Akmal.

" But Mal, we can still kok chatan via Whatsapp, we can still communicate, the era is already sophisticated now." Ali's.

Akmal laughed again.

" You're right, Li, but that's nothing from what we do together in this boarding school, if I've left this boarding school, which I want only 1, " Akmal turned his eyes to the pesantren building in Japan.

" What is Mal?. "asked Ali with a slow tone and a confused face.

" I want all my friends to be by my side" Akmal said.

Ali painted his smile and embraced his best friend like a santriwan who encouraged his best friend.

" Mal, we'll all be there for you. " Ali patted Akmal's shoulder.

Akmal looked at Ali and smiled, his eyes began to glaze over and he held back his sorrow for Ali who was encouraging him.

Seriate....
