BROMOCORAS
Santri That's Tosan Aji

"Mbah Sukrono's? Assalamu'alaikum, Mt." Sapa Ajimukti after getting out of his car.

"Wa'alaikumsalam, Nak Aji." Sukrono replied kindly with his distinctive smile.

"Waste from where? How come it's here?" Ask Ajimukti later.

Sukrono still remained with his smile, "I suddenly wanted to make a pilgrimage to Kang Zaini's tomb, Nak Aji. The plan is to stop by the cottage. It just so long ago it wasn't there after Gus Salim died." Sahut Sukrono.

"Well, what a coincidence, Mbah. Let's go in and have a chat at the lodge, Mbah." Say Ajimukti with hospitality.

"Well, where is this Nak Aji from or where are you going?" Ask Sukrono after that.

"I'm from Mr. Kyai's house by chance to go back to the cottage, Mbah. So we'll just talk at the cottage." Ajimukti still forces Sukrono.

Sukrono finally nodded, Ajimukti immediately opened the door of his car and Sukrono immediately got into the car, sitting on the bench next to the steering wheel.

"Well, age sak. Again pisan iki Sewah ride a car as good as this, Nak Aji." Praise Sukrono once inside the Ajimukti car.

Ajimukti just smiled, "This is just a pinch, Mbah. Just man-made. It wants good to be ugly. It's also just gonna be a wreck." Sahut Ajimukti later.

Sukrono smiled, "Menungso opo ora iyo, Nak Aji. If the contract limit has been completed it will only be a bathang, so the bones." Sahut Sukrono chuckled.

Not long after, the two of them also arrived at Pondok Hidayah. Ajimukti immediately allowed Sukrono to enter his ndalem.

"Now this building really looks magnificent. I remember the first time Kang Zaini introduced me to Gus Salim. The front mosque is still broken. The house is still in ruins, and Kang Zaini still lives in." Remember Sukrono then.

"That big Plumbers tree." While pointing at the mango tree in the pesantren yard. "I used to love going there. There used to be a branch, like to make a boy's clamp, because the place is idum." Sukrono.

Ajimukti so imagine how peaceful the time was.

"Oh, yes, Mbah. How are Mr Gandung and Mrs Mur?" Ask Ajimukti later.

"Alhamdulillah, Son of Aji. Gandung has changed a lot. He has never prayed now. It seemed like his meeting with Nak Dullah back then opened his mind a lot." Sahut Sukrono.

"Alhamdulillah then, Mbah." Ajimukti timpal.

"Oh, yes, Son Aji. Before I came here, I met a young man. Looks like he's this boarding school." Sukrono said later.

"Where, Mbah? You know that santri?" Ask Ajimukti later.

"Aside the village road. Sumpah did have a chat but Sewah forgot to ask his name." Sukrono Sahut.

"What is his son, Mbah?" Ask Ajimukti later.

Sukrono also mentioned the characteristics of the young man he was talking to a few hours ago. From his characteristic Ajimukti knows who the young man who met Sukrono was.

"Emmm, if not wrong the young man was named Sobri, Mbah. He's Mr. Lek Dullah's son." Said Sobri after hearing the characteristics of santri in Sukrono's story.

"Sobri? Son of Dullah? Hmmm, yes yes yes, at first glance the child is indeed very similar to Nak Sobri." Sahut Sukrono nodded his head.

"And if I see. His manner of acting is also his way of speaking. That kid had a lot of insight, son." Sukrono continued later.

"Indeed, Mbah. Kang Sobri is indeed quite capable in the mastery of several books. If I'm honest, even I as Mr. Salim's son feel nothing compared to Kang Sobri." Ajimukti.

"Don't do it, son. That man has a cak'ane dewe. There's his own ration. It cannot be the same, but Allah is Most Just." Cut Sukrono then and there.

"Yes, Mbah. There are advantages there must be disadvantages. There are flaws there must be advantages." Ajimukti.

"Then from that, Nak Aji. We as humans should never compare ourselves to other humans. Gusti Iku Please Fair. Everything has been adjusted according to the measure." Sukrono Imbuh.

Ajimukti nodded, "Waste is right. Thanks for reminding me."

Sukrono smiled, "The fair drawing does not mean the same, Nak Aji. It's like a glass and a bottle. If we love the same dose, it could be the one to the glass lube, while the one to the bottle less. But if given water according to the container, it will be fitting, even if the dose is not the same." Sukrono is still adding to it.

"Yes, Mbah. Insha Allah wejangan Sewah this will be a pangeling for me in the future." Ajimukti.

"Waste is not giving away, Nak Aji. Human waste, sometimes also forget and apply the same. Sewah says so also to ngelingne Simbah himself." Sahut Sukrono.

"Santri is like keris, Nak Aji. No one wants to have it, except the one who understands the privilege of the kris itself. Therefore, when I see young people who are passionate about nyantri, I am happy not to play." Sukrono said with a big smile and showed his toothless tooth.

"Yes, Mbah. I've heard that too. Even each of the keris itself has its own philosophy." Ajimukti.

Sukrono nodded his head lightly. "Yes, that's right, Aji boy. Although there are two types of keris, namely straight and notched. But we often see the form of keris ya that notched it. On notched kerises, the number of lukes is always odd. The meaning that is presented from the odd number is that the human inner condition must be perfected by learning and worship in order for life to be even. The keris is one luk, as a symbol of simplicity. Luk three, as a symbol that the owner is acting as a trivial, surrender to the owner of life. Keris is stored in warangka, precision-sized gloves also have an intent. The relationship between the two can be described through the philosophy of Manunggaling Kawulo Gusti namely unity, harmony, and harmony between man and his God and the people with their leaders. From there will be a peaceful and prosperous life. Keris is actually just ageman or piyandel, can be interpreted as clothing or clothing to increase one's authority. For the Javanese, keris has a deep meaning, there is even a philosophy of life. Although for some people who do not understand keris, it will certainly associate this heritage with clenics. For example, by assuming the keris is magic, then burn incense and given flowers. They assume that the act feeds the waiter. Though it aims to care for and respect the heirloom, ancestral heritage objects and also the masters who have made it. Keris or in Javanese called Tosan Aji, is a fragment of the word tosan which means iron and aji means respected. So keris is an embodiment of iron and is believed to have a content that has a meaning to be respected, because it is a cultural heritage of ancestors of high value." Sukrono finally revealed the details about the ins and outs of keris, Ajimukti only heard and recorded it in memory. However he knew, in terms of culture without leaving religion, Sukrono was very capable.

"Eat it, Nak Aji. Santri is like a keris. Santri should be able to embrace atine. Must be authoritative and can be agaged in all circles according to the ability taught." Imbuh Sukrono again.

"God willing, Mbah. I'll remember this Weling Sewah." Sahut Ajimukti later.

"Oiya, Sewahan was here by himself?" Ask Ajimukti later.

"Yes, Nak Aji. Wong was intentional. Intentionally going on pilgrimage to Kang Zaini's grave." Sukrono Sahut.

Sukrono laughed a little, "What are you going to ride, Nak Aji. Want ngonthel also the power is no longer barkah. Want to ride a motorbike also Simbah has no motorbike. Don't have a bike, just take a bike I can't. Where I go. It just so happened that the angkot from the market directly stopped in front of the house."

Ajimukti nodded, "Then I'll just take it with me, Mbah." Tawar Ajimukti later.

Sukrono shook his hand, "Here, don't bother, Nak Aji. Wong ya a lot of angkot."

"It's not good to reject someone's good intentions, Mbah." Ajimukti is a little pushy with his words that although sounded joking.

"But then the adem that mbok ya in turn off, Nak Aji. Waste ndrodok, catisen." Sukrono said with a funny looking face.

Ajimukti laughed lightly, "Yes, Mbah. I'll turn off the AC."

At the same time. The ndalem Ajimukti. On the terrace of the pesantren mosque. Sobri seems to regulate his hunting breath while occasionally wiping the sweat on his forehead. Her face was red due to the sunburn that was quite hot this afternoon.

Imam and Khalil who happened to be on the terrace of the mosque and saw Sobri, immediately approached towards Sobri.

"From where, Kang Sobri. Looks like a hot run out of heat?" Ask Khalil later.

Sobri looked up a little, "Oh, Kang Khalil. Yes, this is, Kang. I just bought a cigarette to the sareean." Sobri Sahut.

Khalil and Imam compactly throw one another a glance.

"To sarean, Kang? Whynot? Isn't there a family Kang Sobri buried there?" Khalil asked in astonishment.

The priest just nodded in agreement with Khalil's question.

"So pas neduh, met Simbah Simbah, had a chat but forgot not acquaintance. Uh, I'm after, the symbol's gone." Sobri's story later.

Khalil and Imam once again threw eyes at each other.

"What's wrong with that Sewage, Kang?" Ask the Imam then.

"Yes, Kang. How to catch up to the sarean." Imbuh Khalil looks shudder.

"Lha, when chatting symbolically said to want to pilgrimage to the tomb of his best friend. So yes I took it there. Uh, until it's quiet." Sobri again.

"Don't don't... Demit, Kang's." Chirps Khalil getting goosebumps.

Sobri shook his hand, "Here, this wayyan. His grandfather's people gave me a lot of advice. I think he was even a guardian. Guardians of Mastur." Sobri later said.

Khalil and Imam were surprised to hear the word guardian.

"Ah, is that right, Kang?" Ask the Imam to make sure.

Sobri slightly shrugged, "I don't know either, Kang. I guess I guessed." Sobri Sahut.

"Oh, yes, Kang. Has Guse been spotted in ndalem?" Ask Sobri later.

"So I saw Gus Aufanya coming home with someone, Kang. But don't know who. They're still chatting in ndalem." Answer Khalil later.

"Oh, are there guests?" Ask Sobri again.

"It seems so, Kang." Answer Imam.

"But it was the same Guse, Kang." Khalil Imbuh.

"Came with Guse?" Sobri muttered slightly frowning.

"Who is it?" Ask himself a question.

Khalil and Imam just the same shoulder-raising sign they did not know.

A few moments after that, Ajimukti car appeared to pass out the pesantren gate.

"That Guse seems like another act, Kang." Khalil shouted while pointing at the Ajimukti car that drove out of the boarding area.

Sobri who had collapsed immediately woke up and made sure.

"Where is Guse going, Kang?" Ask Imam.

"Eitherway. Maybe Guse has a need." Sahut Sobri flat.

But even so, honestly Sobri was a little curious because Ajimukti does not usually go alone like that. Except to meet Habiba.

Instantly Sobri frowned and then nodded his head lightly as if he had just received an answer.

Seriate...
