"Oh, you, Hexa. Come here, join me." Ajimukti cried while waving his hand.
"He, Gus? The new santri?" Ask Faruq.
"Yes, Gus." Answer Ajimukti with a slight nod.
"Ah, no no no no. It just seems like a boring conversation." Hexa sauteed while slightly evaporating.
Khalil and the Imam who saw it instantly rose in blood, but when they wanted to stand up, Ajimukti held them by gesture.
Hexa also passed from the yard not far from the terrace ndalem Ajimukti.
"It's true there's no manners." Khalil Mumbled.
"Yes, Lil. I'm tired of that kid." Imbuh Imam half whispered.
"Already, Kang Imam, Kang Khalil. Hexa is like that." Sela Ajimukti tries to calm the two.
Khalil and Imam only then nodded.
"It's your job as his senior to direct him, Lil, Mam." Imbuh Faruq later.
"Yes, Gus. God willing." Sahut Khalil followed the Imam's nod.
"Don't tell me you've lost your temper again, Kang." Ajimukti timpal.
Khalil and Imam could only grin the horse at the Ajimukti's words.
"I often heard about the boy's temperament from the santri, Gus. How is the solution for that?" Ask Faruq then.
Ajimukti then smiled, "I advised Mr. Samsuri to include the Hexa here, Gus. So I take full responsibility for that. I'll try to slowly change the child's behavior. I'm sure we can change that kid." Sahut later.
Faruq nodded, "Alright, Gus. Then I can only support you." Said Faruq later.
"Indeed a bit difficult. But slowly, over time will definitely be able to change the character of the child. We make the boy used to being here, so his willingness to really follow the situation here will make him slowly change." Say Ajimukti after that.
"That's right, Gus. By getting him used to it, it would inevitably also change his war." Imbuh Faruq agreed with Ajimukti's opinion.
"God willing, Gus. Even though he is my responsibility. But I keep begging for help, Gus." Imbuh Ajimukti as well.
"Surely it is, Gus. He's santri here, which means my santri too. There is no responsibility for who or who. Everyone here is responsible, Gus." Sahut Faruq later.
"Thank you, Gus. May our good intentions bear fruit." Say Ajimukti after that.
Faruq only then nodded assuring Ajimukti's words.
Meanwhile, a pair of eyes seemed to be observing their chatter on the terrace of the ndalem from the opposite direction to the direction of the arrival of the Hexa. Before long, he passed from where he stood.
Hexa sneaks out of the boarding gate. The goal is to exit through the ndalem page just to ensure the existence of Ajimukti. He immediately walked quickly down the path beside the pesantren wall which is connected to the highway to the market.
"Hex...!"
Feeling someone calling her name, Hexa stopped her steps, then turned her gaze to look for the source of the sound. Hexa was a little aghast when she arrived from behind a tree not far from where she stood out a young man who had been memorized enough.
"You? What's up?" Hexa asked a little worriedly.
The young man walked slowly towards Hexa with an intimidating smile.
"Can we talk for a second?" Asked the young man in a soft voice.
"What are you talking about?" Hexa asked slightly raising her eyebrows.
As soon as the young man got closer to Hexa, he immediately pulled the hard Hexa clothes, and...
Duak!!!
A hard punch landed on Hexa's right cheek. Hexa slammed, fell down and complained.
"What the fuck is this, hey?" Hexa shouted while trying to stand up.
The young man again grabbed the collar of Hexa's shirt and lifted her up. Hexa struggled to escape.
"What's wrong? Why did you hit me?" Hexa asked so loosely from the young man's grip as she retreated her steps.
The young man smirked, "It wouldn't be like this if you could keep your attitude." Said the young man in a high voice while pointing towards Hexa.
"A gesture? Is there a problem with my attitude? It's ordinary, right? Don't be so temperamental, hey." Reply Hexa still while wiping her temple.
"It's good if you think it's normal. Then you will also get used to feeling that." Said the young man once again pointing towards Hexa.
Hexa began to not be able to hold back her emotions, she did not accept a little at the young man's beat. Now, he slightly clenched his hand and tried to avenge the young man's blow. But unfortunately, Hexa's fist was just avoided by the young man, precisely now Hexa's wrist was firmly gripped by the young man. Once again Hexa complained.
"Let go!" Hexa cried while struggling, but the young man was getting stronger gripping Hexa's hand.
"I'll let you go, if you promise to keep your attitude!" The young man stared at Hexa sharply.
Hexa groaned, back thrashing, but in vain. The young man was too strong to grip Hexa's wrist.
"All right, I promise. But let go of me!" Hexa at the end.
The young man let go of Hexa and passed away from the presence of Hexa without a word.
Hexa held her wrist. The grip of the young man was enough to make him feel pain.
"Crazy, who he really is. His hands are strong." Hexa muttered still while rubbing her wrist.
With a little pain, Hexa turned her steps and now stepped back into the pesantren.
"Isn't that the new santri?" The whisper of one of the students who saw Hexa walking limped into the boarding gate.
"Yes, right. Why her? Looks like he's fighting." Another santri saw a former bruise on the right temple of Hexa.
"Yes yes. Looks like he's been hit." Another one's right again.
"Let's know the taste of that kid. Who asked belagu. The enemy must be where it is." Imbuh santri other.
"Yes, right. Let's know the taste." The other whisper added.
After a while, the news reached Ajimukti. Ajimukti was a little surprised to hear the news about Hexa.
"Thank you for the information, Kang. If I may ask you to call Hexa here, Kang." Ajimukti said to the santri who gave him information about Hexa.
"Well, Gus." Sahut santri then immediately stepped quickly to meet Hexa.
Before long, Hexa also came in slightly bowed. Ajimukti stared fixedly at Hexa, then saw that there was indeed a slight bruise on the right side of Hexa.
"Who did it?" Ask Ajimukti later.
"What do you mean?" Sahut Hexa with a slight wry smile.
"What was the less obvious question?" Sahut Ajimukti.
Hexa sighed, "Nothing. It was just a minor accident. Coincidentally slipped." Sahut Hexa again with a soft voice.
Ajimukti smiled, then went back to observing the bruise again, "Even if you don't want to say it's okay. I already know who." Say Ajimukti later.
Hexa just returned smiling wryly.
"You can go back to your room." Say Ajimukti afterwards.
"Oh, yes, I apologize for that." Imbuhnya.
"It's okay." Sahut Hexa shrieked and just left from Ajimukti place.
Ajimukti only then shook his head.
Shortly after, Sobri arrives with Manan.
"What's up, Gus? It seems to be thinking of something." Tanya Sobri saw a different expression on Ajimukti's face.
"It's nothing, Kang." Sahut Ajimukti at a glance while smiling.
Sobri only then remained silent, but even so, he felt that there was something Ajimukti was covering him.
"Oh, yes, Kang. In the near future, Sibu will be here. The same possibility Mr. Lek same Bu Lek. Later as long as Mr. Lek and Bu Lek are here, let them sleep in the room until just right away, Kang. Then later we can use the former room Ustadz Nasihin. You see, my room will also be for Sibu's rest." Say Ajimukti after a while.
"Yes, Gus. I've also been told by my father, he said my mother also wanted to come here." Sahut Sobri later.
"Why not just in my room, Jik?" Sela Manan's.
"Later suk suk'an instead, Nan." Ajimukti.
"Hmmm, even angets, Jik." Sahut Manan then with a slight chuckle.
Ajimukti only then smiled.
"Your sister's coming, Jik?" Ask Manan after that.
"God willing, Nan." Ajimukti.
"Guse's sister is ngeten, Kang." Said Sobri while giving his thumbs up.
Hearing that Ajimukti smiled.
"Keep nek ngeten, how's that, Kang?" Tanya Manan while similarly giving a thumbs up.
"Yes, who knows the cold." Tempta Sobri after.
Manan and Ajimukti only then similarly laugh.
But then Manan's expression changed. His arrogance instantly penetrated into the moment when he parted with Nafisa that afternoon. The shadow of Nafisa that had been milling around in his mind, was now increasingly clearly stirring up every space in the mind.
Manan tried to shake it off. He realized, no matter how Nafisa he knew before, now he could no longer in his term.
Manan sighed, pulling him deep, exhaling him was strong.
Ajimukti realizes that there is something that Manan is feeling right now. He noticed a change in expression on Manan's face.
"Miss?" Tegur Ajimukti later.
Manan was a little jolted.
"You're okay, right?" Ask Ajimukti afterwards.
"I? Well, Jik. Why the hell?" Ask Manan back.
Ajimukti then just smiled.
"Well, if it's okay." Sahut Ajimukti.
"Will there be time?" Ask again after that.
"Emmm, there, Jik. What's the matter?" Manan asked a little curiously.
"There's something I want to talk to you about." Say Ajimukti later.
"Hmmm, fine, Jik. What time?" Ask Manan afterwards.
"Once Isha." Ajimukti answered a little smile.
Manan then smiled.
"What's up, Gus?" Asked Sobri who heard that then appeared curious as well.
"There's one thing I want to talk to Manan, Kang. Four eyes." Sahut Ajimukti later.
Sobri just nodded understanding that. But Manan heard that Ajimukti only asked him to talk to the two slightly frowned.
"What's the matter?" Inner Manan later.
Seriate...
