TEN YEARS LATER.
Andini's Life.
Tok..
The sound of door curses was heard from the front of the Al-Muslim boarding house early in the morning. A young woman rushed to open the door after wearing her niqob. In front of the door stood another smiling young woman behind her light brown niqob .
"Assalamualaikum Ukhti Tiara, sorry if I disturb the activity of Ukhti Tiara so early in the morning like this", said Ria santriwati easiest from the boarding school.
Tiara returned her smile.
"Wa'alaikum salam Ukhti Ria, No matter , what's the need this early in the morning Ukhti?" Tiara .
"I was told by Bu-nyai to call Ukhti Tiara and Ukhti Andini. He said that there are things to be conveyed related to the discussion at the istighosah event later tonight" replied Ria explained .
Andini came out of the kitchen and soon joined Ukhti Tiara and Ukhti Ria on the terrace . The woman looks very graceful with maroon red and long hijab is light brown . the niqob she wears is also in the same color as the color of the dress . Ria smiled at him and immediately got a warm hug from the woman.
"Assalamualaikum Ukhti Ria, have you had breakfast? Let's have breakfast together" Take Andini
"Wa'alaikum salam Ukhti Andini, Alhamdulillah I have breakfast with Ukhti Nilam and Ukhti Risya . Syukron for his invitation, but afwan because I'm full Ukhti" replied Ria .
Andini just smiled while nodding her head a sign she already understood . Tiara looked at him while smiling from behind her niqob.
"His mother calls us both, He wants to talk about the discussion for the istighosah event for later tonight" Tiara said.
"Oh yeah? Why didn't you tell me about Tia??? let's go to Bu-Hyai's house now, don't make him wait" Invite Andini who is still stuck with his surprise.
Tiara and Ria nodded and followed Andini's steps towards Bu-Hyai's house. While at the house of Bu-Hyai who has the original name Hajjah Dewi Nur Hasanah, Wife of Kiayi Haji Yusuf Al-Qodri the owner of Al-Muslim boarding school , relaxing after a nature tadabbur with his youngest daughter named Zahra .
"Ummi can I put on my new dress for tonight's show?" Ask Zahra
His mother smiled behind her niqob at her youngest daughter .
"If not to show off to others, you can wear your new dress" replied Bu-Nyai commemorating .
Zahra smiled and nodded to her mother . Andini and Tiara arrived in front of Bu-Hyai's house, Zahra rushed to open Pajar for the two of them .
"Assalamualaikum Umm Zahra... Hesamei..." Andini and Tiara say together .
"Wa'alaikum salam" replied Zahra and Bu-nyai simultaneously .
"Let's enter Ukhti Andini.. Ukhti Tiara's..." Zahra welcomes .
"Syukron Ummu" replied Andini.
Zahra has a long age difference with Andini and Tiara, so many santri and santriwati call it 'Ummu' to replace the word mother in Indonesian. It made her have many children despite not being married .
Andini and Tiara sat down before His Lady after they kissed the hands of a middle-aged woman who was highly respected in all the santri and santriwati. Bu-Hyai smiled secondly at the two sisters.
"Later tonight during the Istighosah event, I want one of you to bring a material about 'Haramnya Seen Into the House of Others' "Pinta Bu-Hyai.
Andini and Tiara looked at each other a moment ago and looked back at Bu-Hyai .
"Wouldn't tonight bring the material is Akh Salman Bu-nyai ?" Ask Tiara.
Bu-Hyai smiled again then shook his head with a look of disbelief towards the two students .
"Alhamdulillah Rabby 'alamin. I am very grateful that your ears are both guarded by Allah SWT, so that not a single piece of bad news reaches the two of you" said Bu-Hyai .
"meaning Bu-Hyai?" Ask Andini who still does not understand .
"santri is currently getting sanctions from Abah. Many of them were found trying to peek into the house of the cottage santriwati" explained Bu-Hyai
"Akh Salman Bu-Hyai?" Tiara sounded in disbelief .
"Salman does not follow, but the name of the sanctions from Abah yes surely all santri will get sap".
Tiara chuckled softly as she lowered her head. Andini just smiled a little, which is clearly unknown to anyone because she wears a niqob. His mother looked back at them seriously .
"Ukhti Andini His..." Tiara hurriedly replied.
Andini glanced at Tiara who had succeeded in getting her cornered. The woman always knew that she could not refuse the request of Bu-Hyai . Bu-Hyai stared at Andini, as if asking for approval .
"Yes my Bu-Hyai who will bring you the material later tonight". Steady Andini .

Night started creeping in the city of Tangerang . The santri and santriwati are getting ready to go to the Great Mosque of Al-muslimun pesantren . Istighosah event will be held in a few moments .
Firman walked with Ardi, Rashad, and Salman from the direction of the cottage house . They deliberately separated themselves from the other students, so that they could talk before the event Istighosah began .
"If not because Akh Tio was caught trying to peek into the house santriwati cottage, surely this mam you will bring Akh Salman material" said Rashad who sounded disappointed .
Salman only smiled sincerely , he did not turn on Akh Tio or other students for failing to bring material in the event Istighosah , he embraced Rashad casually .
"Nothing Akh, make all this a lesson so that we do not do the same as Akh Tio did. After all Akh Tio was wrong because he had peeked into the house of the santriwati cottage" said Salman
"That bill is Akh, the law is prohibited if we try to see the face of the court covered by niqob, unless he has become our mahram, then we can see their faces" added Ardi .
"Yes already , we will continue the discussion about this 'peek tip' after the event istighosah finished. Now Come on, we go to the mosque "Take the Word
They entered the mosque shortly after the event began. MC, who hosted the event that night is Umm Aliyah Putri Bu-nyai the second . Salman sat side by side with Word, while Rashad was clearly sitting with Ardi .The two of them were never separated during their stay at the Al-Muslim boarding school .
"Alhamdulillah the recitation of the holy verse of the Koran by Ukhti Sarah has been completed well . Now let's continue with the discussion of the material that will be presented by Ukhti Andini Najwa Khamid" said Aliyah invite Ukhti Andini to move forward .
Salman raised his bowed face earlier when he heard the name Andini called by Aliyah . Word sitting next to him elbows Salman's arm to tease him, while Ardi and Arsyad code from behind Salman's back .The man smiled silently .
Andini that night wearing light blue clothes and long dark blue hijab looks very graceful . Niqob color matching with the color of his clothes was adorned the face of the woman. Salman's chest seemed to rumble when he saw Andini's eyes, which of course did not lead to him .The woman takes care of her eyes very much, especially the views of the man who is not her mahram.
"Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatu" said Andini moments after arriving at the pulpit .
"Wa'alaikum salam warahmatullahi wabarakatu" Concurrent answer from all santri and santriwati .
"Allahumma sholli 'ala Muhammad wa 'ala Ali Syaidina Muhammad, wa 'ala Alani wa shohbihi ajma'in Anna ba'du"
Andini took a momentary breath .
"Tonight I was asked directly by Bu-Hyai to bring material about 'Haramnya Seen Into the House of Others' " Said Andini .
The deg!!
Sontak Salman was surprised by what Andini said about the discussion material that night . Similarly with Firman, Ardi, Arsyad, and some other santri santri .
Dam hadith Sahal bin Sa'ad As-Saidi Radhiyallahu Anhu, He said that a man who peeked at the door hole of the Prophet Shalallahu alayhi wasallam . At that time the Prophet Shallahu alayhi wasallam brought a comb that he used to scratch his head. When the Prophet Shallahu alayhi wasallam saw the man, he said 'if I had known you looked at me I would have put this comb in your eyes' . Prophet Shallahu alayhi wasallam also said 'Verily it is recommended to ask for permission when entering the house just to avoid the vision' Hadith Muslim History"
Everyone listened solemnly .
"If the Prophet Shallahu alayhi wasallam, who was clear that he was a Brotherhood, against other Brotherhood he forbade to peep into his house . Then what if in his house it was filled with a woman ??? It is no longer Haram but a very big sin will be accepted by the Brotherhood who peeps into the house of an adult" explained Andini.
Salman again lowered his head in embarrassment at what Tio was doing .
"An employee who completely shuts himself off from the motions must be protected. How do I protect her??? By preserving the honor of the court. Not because it tarnishes his honor!! A newspaper that covers itself from the hijab, covering its face with niqob, indicates that the newspaper must be protected, not to be humiliated".
Diva took a breath for a moment .
"Seeking into the house of an akhwat and hoping to see his face which is always covered by niqob, is the most despicable act in the life of a Brotherhood . Honorable Brotherhood is the Brotherhood that is able to maintain the honor of an akhwat from any position, including the eyes of both eyes . Is not all this we already know, that seeing the face of akhwat which is not mahramnya is an act of sin??? Then why are you so curious to see the face of akhwat that is not your mahram ??? Do you want to feel the embers of hell fire put your two eyeballs???" Ask Andini .
The santri lowered their heads simultaneously, some of them looked as if they were thinking out loud and regretting what they were doing .
"Are you aware that what you are doing is part of Zina??? Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala has clearly prohibited in the Quran Surah Al-isra Verse thirty-two , Walaa taqrobuz zinaa, innahuu kana faahisyataw wasaa,a sabiilaa. And do not approach adultery; indeed, it is an abomination. And a bad road. Is the ban still unclear to you???" Ask Andini again.
His mother smiled from where she sat in the mosque. He really did not choose wrong when asking Tiara or Andini to bring the material . he felt very satisfied .
"Therefore in order that we may be spared from sin and vice, let us together improve ourselves . For Ashwat , work harder to preserve your honor, and for the Brotherhood , please help the officials to keep their honor. Just a discussion from me, Wabillahi taufik wal hidayah, assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh" Andini concluded his discussion.
Awe-struck gaze that was fixed towards Andini , as the woman descended from the pulpit , Salman looked back at her silently . He followed every step of the woman until she was not seen again because Andini had joined other students in the mosque .
'Why is it that every time I hear your name, it feels like there is such a great rumble in my chest???'
