BROMOCORAS
Test Trial

Whenever I say hello, dusk is always beautiful. With abstract strokes of his throne from the solar disk that almost disappeared in the western horizon. Also as breezy as the wind peddling the cold that slowly caressed the skin.

Ajimukti. There was a rustling in the cavity of the mouth of his heart. There was a blind vibration between his heartbeats. It feels like his body is starting to burn. For a fraction of a second he seemed to be in a different gravitational space. The rhythm of his heartbeat that began to irregularly shake his breathing rate. Tight and as if it would narrow.

"Where are you from, Kang?" Ask Habiba a moment later.

Ajimukti is still in his position. Dullah realized that, then nudged Ajimukti from behind.

"I..yeah..gimana, Ning Biba?" Ajimukti.

Habiba just smiled

"Sampeyan Iu, Kang. Where's it?" Habiba repeated his question.

"Oh, that, Ning. Emm, from there." Answer Ajimukti trying to master the situation.

"There's something else about this." Whisper Dullah slightly brought his lips closer to Ajimukti's ears. Ajimukti just turned his head and slightly grinned the horse.

"Cock tumben, Kang. Not Kang Manan?" Habiba asked, seeing that they were alone.

"Anu, Ning. Emmm, that. Manan said there was a review of Gus Faruq."

"Oh, yes. Earlier Mas Faruq said he also wanted a review of santri alfiyah." Habiba said a little.

"Just like Kang Aji. Excuse me first. I want maghrib." Habiba then said.

"Mongo, Ning." Sahut Ajimukti without even looking at Habiba.

"Oh, yes, Kang. Congratulations, Kang. And may we win!" Habiba said accompanied by a movement of his hand slightly clenched up.

Ajimukti momentarily gawked and slightly raised his head looking towards Habiba. "For what, Ning?" Ask later.

Habiba simply replied with a hint of his smile.

"Welcome Ning Biba to take your time, Mas. And then win from the Budi." Whisper Dullah again while giggling behind Ajimukti.

The spontaneous adjimukti elbowed Dullah and right got his stomach.

"Let's...!!!" Peek Dullah.

Habiba who realized that immediately turned to look at Dullah, "Why, sir?" Ask plain Habiba.

Dullah only slightly grimaced and stroked his stomach elus.

"This, Ning. There's a naughty ant biting my belly." Sahut Dullah then deliberately nudged Ajimukti.

"I'll excuse you, won't you?" Repeated Habiba again, then passed from the presence of Ajimukti and Dullah.

The afternoon breeze blew away the fragrant smell of the perfume that Habiba wore. So fragrant as fragrant as to make those who smell it will feel comfort.

"Huh..." Ajimukti sounded out a sigh.

"Why, Mas?" Ask Dullah who realized that.

"It's okay, Lek." Sahut flat. "We're in first, Lek. Maghrib soon." Continue Ajimukti while walking back to the page of Pondok Hidayah.

Dullah just a head bobble. Then back following Ajimukti who left him again.

Not long ago. Adhan maghrib reverberated from the mouthpiece of the mosque Pondok Hidayah also from the mouthpiece of the mosque around the cottage. Interlinking, making anyone tremble to hear the name of God so sweetly glorified.

Ajimukti changed his clothes and immediately came out of his room in Dullah's follow. In front of him some students were also preparing to go to the mosque.

"Yes, Mas. The feeling hasn't been a month but how does it feel so long ago." Dullah.

Ajimukti did not return. Continuing his steps among the boisterous chatter of the santri.

Time pass. All the students are still sitting in their own places. Before the prayer began, Kyai Aminudin announced that the students would stay in the mosque because there was something he wanted to convey.

Kyai Aminudin woke up from the mosque and stood behind the mosque's pulpit. After previously giving his greetings, he also said an important announcement to be made to all students of Pondok Hidayah.

"As I said a few weeks ago about the East Java inter-esantren competition which will be held this week. Alhamdulillah, from the manager of Pondok Hidayah has decided who will represent the boarding school we advance to the competition." Kyai Aminudin.

The contact of what Kyai Aminudin said made the students, especially the Alfiyah class, look at each other. Different things with the senior trio, Budi, Khalil and Imam. In the front of the shaft line they appear to smile triumphantly.

"Only one santri will ultimately represent our pesantren. That is because no one other than this santri who signed up, so at the proposal of some santri also the manager decided who will advance to the competition represents our pesantren. Inipun at the consideration of all Pondok Hidayah managers." Kyai Aminudin sighed, "And as for what I call his name, please step forward to give a little confidence that he is indeed worthy to advance to this year's competition." Kyai Aminudin.

Once again the students can only look at each other. From the look of their eyes all depends on the question of who is the santri who dares to enter the competition.

"Ajimukti." Kyai Aminudin continued later, making dozens of pairs of eyes simultaneously gawking in disbelief.

Ajimukti calmly stood up from his seat and walked towards Kyai Aminudin followed by the surprised views of the santri. Budi, Khalil and Imam were immediately satisfied. Dullah and Manan who had been sitting next to Ajimukti also accompanied Ajimukti steps with a smile that expands. While from the other room a silent smile was also glued between her tiny lips showing her dimples.

Ajimukti immediately welcomed Kyai Aminudin's hand and stood next to Kyai Aminudin after Kyai Aminudin descended from his pulpit.

"Try Nak Aji give a few examples of lectures that might convince them including me. Because no matter what status Nak Aji here is santri earlyayah, it may be difficult for them to believe the decision of the boarding board to choose Nak Aji as a representative of Pondok Hidayah. Considering this isn't a game competition." Kyai Aminudin lirih.

"Sendiko dawuh, Kyai." Sahut Ajimukti while slightly lowering his body and reaching for the speaker mic on the pulpit.

For a moment the atmosphere of the mosque was silent. All eyes were on the figure of Ajimukti who was now standing in front of them. For a moment Ajimukti sighed.

"Assalamu'alaikum Warahmatulli Westarakatuh..." Say hello Ajimukti start. Simultaneously the entire contents of the mosque answered the Ajimukti greeting with a gaze that could not be separated from it.

"Bismillaahirahmanirrahiimbali... Alhamdulilbornabbil-'alamin... Nahmaduhu wanasta'iinuhu, wanastaghfiruhu, wana'uudzubillahi min suruuru anfusinaa, wa min sayyiati a'maalinaa, man-yahdillahu falaamudhillah, wa man-yudhlil falaahadiyalah..." Adjimukti calmly with his soft voice began his face to convey a few pieces of verse with the whole Arabic language makes the entire contents of the mosque silent.

Dullah and Manan who were sitting a bit behind just threw one another a glance and occasionally smiled. Kyai Aminudin simply nodded his head in a nod with both of his hands exposed to the chest. Gus Faruq only silently watched every thing Ajimukti said by putting his right hand in the chin as a buffer for his head, occasionally nodding his head and occasionally smiling. While Budi, Khalil and their Imam were agitated like hot worms. Hearing the loud voice of Ajimukti lecturing loudly in Arabic immediately made their faces look agitated.

"Ihwaaniil-ahibaa'. kafaytu kalaamii fii hadzihil-furshoh.. wa idzaa wa jadtum minniy khothoyaatin athlubul-'afwa minkum... wa ilaal-liquo'.. fii waqtin uhro... wallahul-muwaafiq ora aqwamith-thoriiq... Wassalamu'alaikum Warahmatullaahi Westarakatuh..." Ajimukti closed his lecture, then went down and approached Kyai Aminudin.

Kyai Aminudin smiled with satisfaction and patted Ajimukti on the shoulder.

"I am now convinced by Faruq's decision to choose you to represent our boarding school, Nak Aji." Said Kyai Aminudin, "I as a Teacher you are proud to have students like you who are silent have the advantage of speaking Arabic amazing." Kyai Aminudin.

Ajimukti just bowed. While all the santri who were in the mosque were still dumbfounded not to believe in all this.

Kyai Aminudin invited Ajimukti to sit down again. Ajimukti immediately returned to his seat again. There Dullah and Manan were already waiting for him with smiles that were expanding from both of their lips.

Kyai Aminudin again said a few words to all students before finally giving an aba to Budi to echo the Adhan Isya'.

Stand up from his seat with slightly trembling legs. The look on his face so implied a nervousness.

"What's wrong with you, Bud?" Kyai Aminudin asked, realizing that there was something different about Budi.

"Ti.no, Kyai. Ssss.me..I am good well, - alone." Say Budi with a brick and trembling voice.

Kyai Aminudin sighed. "Sit down!" Kyai Aminudin said and then ordered other students to announce the Adhan.

Adhan reverberated tonight at Pondok Hidayah. Breaking the tension that Ajimukti made for a while ago. Now the atmosphere is back to silence, only the sound of Kyai Aminudin hoarsely leading Isya prayers congregate tonight.

Seriate...
