BROMOCORAS
The Debate Begins

Ndalem terrace for a moment of silence. Even the blowing wind did not want the bright light to sweep away the dried leaves to break the silence this afternoon.

Kyai Aminudin still stared intently at Ajimukti and Dullah. His gaze was never separated from the two who seemed to still remain calm.

Ajimukti sighed, "Why did Kyai ask me who I really am? I'm just a regular santri who's been here for two months. Nothing I cover from Kyai or anything else." Answer Ajimukti calmly.

Kyai Aminudin straightened up again, "You really don't want to tell me who you are?" Kyai Aminudin asked slightly pressing her voice.

"Sorry, Kyai. My niece, Mas Aji has already explained the truth. Yeah, we're just people who really want to do science here." Dullah who was silent from the beginning, now began to speak up.

Kyai Aminudin again smiled mockingly. Then grunt, "Once again I emphasize! You tell me who you really are or you leave this boarding school immediately?"

"Already, Lek. I have to be honest with Mr. Kyai." Say Ajimukti while patting the hands of Dullah who wants to talk again. Dullah just nodded.

Hearing that, Kyai Aminudin returned to her sinister smile.

"Sorry, Kyai. Actually, I'm actually afraid to be frank. But because Kyai forced. So again sorry... I'm sorry Kyai, we didn't mean to cover ourselves all this time." Say Ajimukti looks serious while cupping both palms.

Kyai Aminudin simply nodded, without any expression. The view is still the same, fixed on Ajimukti and Dullah.

"Actually I was once a street kid, Kyai. Punk's son, if people say. I bus to bus. Then Mr. Lek invited me to go here, so as to be a real person he said. That's why I want to, Kyai. Again I'm sorry, Kyai." Ajimukti still cupped his palms together.

Dullah who realized that immediately appealed, "That's right, Kyai. What my nephew is telling me."

Kyai Aminudin got up from his seat, then stood slightly sideways to their back.

His face was full of angry expressions. His jaw looks firm. Sharp view.

"It's so good." He said in a mocking tone. "What's that drama?"

Ajimukti and Dullah threw eyes at each other. Dullah slightly raised his shoulders.

Kyai Aminudin sounded a snort. "All right! If that's your choice. By force, you must also leave this boarding school." Said rising.

"But, Kyai. Didn't my nephew tell me the truth." Sahut Dullah showed his unacceptable attitude.

"God! Do you think I'm stupid. Just believe in that parochial charade of yours!" Kyai Aminudin replied in a high tone.

"Then we have to say something like, Kyai?" Ask Ajimukti in a low tone.

"No need! Enough already! I ask that you also pack your things today, and quickly leave this boarding school!" Kyai Aminudin seems to be puckering with his words.

"You don't deserve nyantri in this pesantren." Another imbibing.

"Then what is it like, Kyai?" Ajimukti tried to defend himself.

"Already! Don't talk too much! I no longer want to hear any explanation from you!" Kyai Aminudin said in a high tone.

Just at that time, a white Toyota Rush car was seen heading to the pesantren parking lot. Shortly after the car stopped, a man of complexion got out of the car. Followed by another man who was fatter and black, also a young man.

Kyai Aminudin, who was so familiar with the car, immediately came out of the terrace to greet his guests.

Ajimukti and Dullah just returned to throw one another a glance, then stood up.

"Aggoro Kang, how are you? What wind makes Kang Anggoro come to visit here?" Kyai Aminudin said kindly after the two said hello and shook hands.

"There's nothing what Ustadz Amin is. Uh, I mean Kyai Aminudin. Just wanted to visit. I miss Manan too." Sahut Anggoro with a quick glance towards Ajimukti and Manan.

"Come Kang Anggoro. Please come in." Kyai Aminudin later said. Then turn to Ajimukti and Dullah, "You go quickly. Pack your things and quickly leave this boarding school."

Anggoro seemed to be smiling. "Wait Kyai. What's the matter?" Ask later.

Prastowo stood behind Anggoro, while Manan, who had been silent since, now coded Ajimukti with his eyes.

"Ah, nothing, Kang. Ordinary, santri who likes to make trouble and do not want to be arranged." Kyai Aminudin.

Anggoro frowned, "Like to make trouble and do not want to be arranged?" He repeated the words of Kyai Aminudin.

"Yes, Kang. Let's not go to the other students." Kyai Aminudin with a triumphant face.

Anggoro smiled cynically, without being told to sit down, now he sat on the sofa, then lit a cigarette and threw his cigarette pack on the table.

"Nobody can leave this school!" Said later.

Kyai Aminudin flinched, then approached Anggoro. "What does Kang Anggoro mean?" Asked astonishment.

"I told. No one can leave this pesantren! What is not yet clear Ustadz Amin, emmm, I mean Kyai Aminudin." Anggoro looks resolute this time.

"But these guys...?"

"Outside of them!" Anggoro cuts off the speech of Kyai Aminudin.

"Why, Kang Anggoro? What reason?" Kyai Aminudin is still confused.

"The reason is clear, Mr. Kyai whom I respect. Kang Salim founded this pesantren to educate people to be better. If said Kyai, they like to make trouble and can not be arranged. Shoot again!" Anggoro said back firmly.

"But Kang Anggoro. After Mas Kyai Salim died. I am entitled to this pesantren like his will. So the decision is in my hands." Kyai Aminudin began to want to show his power.

Anggoro nodded, "Which testament? The will that he made himself then forced Kang Salim to sign it without Kang Salim until he asked to read it?" Anggoro said later.

Kyai Aminudin said, "What does Kang Anggoro mean? I don't understand. That will was clearly left Mas Kyai Salim on me." Kyai Aminudin is still trying to defend himself.

Anggoro stood up, then called out to Prastowo. "Let Prastowo do the talking!"

Hearing that Kyai Aminudin looked furious, indeed he was not too fond of Prastowo.

"Speak, Prastowo!" Anggoro's orders to Prastowo.

Quietly Prastowo began to speak, "There was a man who came to my house, saying that by the way, Kyai. Writing something on a piece of paper then asked Kang Salim who was lying sick at the time to sign it. As Anggoro said, without asking Kang Salim to read it. Because of the suspicion, the person kept silent to find out the contents of the writing in the paper. And true suspicion, the contents of the paper is a will that you made and in the name of Kang Salim." Prastowo said no less firmly with Anggoro.

"What kind of a slander is that, Kang Pras?" Say it with a firm jaw.

Prastowo smiled cynically, "That's not slander, Kyai. Oh, sorry, I'm not used to calling Kyai. I mean Kang Amin." Prastowo looks mocking, making emotions Kyai Aminudin rose to ubun ubun.

"Who? Who is that guy? Where's evidence?" Kyai Aminudin snapped at Prastowo, but Prastowo did not hesitate in the least.

"Just calm down, Kang Amin. Just wait a minute he'll be here." Prastowo said calmly.

Kyai Aminudin also grinned, "That's just a person who is indeed conspiring with you right? To slander me."

"No, Pakdhe! Mr. Prastowo is not slandering. I was the one who told Mr. Prastowo that time." Suddenly the voice of one surprised Kyai Aminudin and made the others turn to the source of the sound.

"Faruq?" Kyai Aminudin muttered inflamed with a sharp look.

"Yes, I'm Pakdhe." Faruq said calmly and flatly while standing not far from Manan. While behind him was Ali who also looked calm.

Hearing the commotion on the terrace ndalem. Make Nyai Sarah and Habiba immediately head to the terrace to know what commotion.

As soon as he arrived at the terrace, saw there were some people they were jerking off. Plus when their eyes were on Kyai Aminudin who seemed to be angry.

"What's this, Bah?" Nyai Sarah immediately approached her husband.

"Umi kept quiet and brought Habiba back in. This is Abah's business. Umi don't interfere!" Kyai Aminudin half scolded his wife.

Nyai Sarah did not dare to continue, then retreated and approached Habiba who stood confused by what was happening at this time.

"What do you mean, Faruq? You want to stab your own Pakdhe in the back?" Kyai Aminudin asked closer to Faruq.

"No, Pakdhe. Instead I want to save Pakdhe from Pakdhe's error." Faruq said sincerely.

"Well!" Kyai Aminudin nearly slapped his hard blow towards Faruq, but Ali's lightning speed held him back.

"Stop, Kyai. I saw it myself not only Gus Faruq." Said Ali later.

Kyai Aminudin increasingly ignited emotions hearing Ali's speech. Then came back smiling.

"It turns out I kept rats in my house all this time." Said later.

"That sentence is more fitting for the sampeyan, Kyai Amin." Anggoro now stood up again and approached Kyai Aminudin.

Kyai Aminudin turned towards Anggoro.

"Yes, that sentence is more appropriate to say on the sampeyan. How not! Kang Salim has raised the life of sampeyan much better than before. Granted a place to stay. Positionally. But what sampeyan did. Sampeyan is the only person who is in kek'i ati ning even ngrogoh rempelo. Sampeyan who was originally just a food stall trader, raised the status of sampeyan to be better. People respect sampeyan. But what kind of reply did Kang Salim give?" Anggoro now raised his voice, his eyes discriminating.

Habiba who heard that was jolted, without expecting his tears to begin soaking his eyelids. Nyai Sarah who realized it immediately hugged her daughter.

Kyai Aminudin. His eyes glared in turn at Anggoro and Prastowo.

"But you see! The change after I held this pesantren. Much better than when Kang Salim took hold." Kyai Aminudin did not want to lose.

"Yes, Pakdhe. But it's just good physically, not what's in it." Faruq again.

"The Pakdhe santri guardians press with a suffocating shahriyah, but it is not comparable to what the santri get. Kyai only focuses on the santri whose parents can benefit." Another imbibing.

"Because I want the Hidayah Cottage to be even bigger. Become the greatest pesantren." Kyai Aminudin still did not want to admit his mistake. He continues to defend himself.

"Who's student wants Kang Amin to raise? The pesantren that Kang Amin deliberately obtained by robbing from its owner?" Prastowo will not lose.

Seeing the feud, Manan silently sneaked towards Ajimukti and Dullah who were waiting for their turn to speak.

"Jik, I'm sorry I was a little too late." Manan whispered.

Ajimukti and Dullah are closer to Manan.

"How can you be with your Father and Prastowo, Nan?" Ask Dullah then.

"So I happened to be with Gus Faruq again, suddenly Gus Ali came to report he said until the same Ajik was called, Lek. Yasudah, I went straight to Pakdhe Prastowo. Pakdhe Prastowo immediately informed the father who happened to be in the market." Manan whispered.

"I didn't expect it to happen that way, Jik." Imbuh Manan's.

Ajimukti just smiled and then again noticed the feud that occurred in front of him.

"As long as there's still a chance, Pakdhe. Pakdhe should return the ownership of this pesantren to those who are entitled to Pakdhe." Imbuh Faruq tried to give understanding to Kyai Aminudin.

"What do you deserve to say? Heh, just so you know, the only one Kang Salim family who fought for this pesantren is me. Who will it be returned to? To Kang Salim's body? You brat knows what Faruq." Kyai Aminudin again ignited emotions with Faruq's words.

"Pakdhe forgot, Kyai Salim has a wife and a child?" Ask Faruq then.

Kyai Aminudin suddenly laughed, "Wife? Which wife?"

Prastowo and Anggoro smiled, "How dare he confess to Kang Salim's family, even his wife does not know, Kang." Prastowo shouted out loud.

"Kyai, know why Kyai Salim often goes back and forth to Joga?" Tanya Ali who had since held back Kyai Salim's slap on Faruq no longer spoke.

Kyai Aminudin snorted and turned towards Ali. "What do you know? It was obvious that Kang Salim deposited the book to his teacher." He said cynically with a furious tone.

Ali smiled, "That's what Kyai knew. But the truth is that Kyai Salim visited his wife's son there, Kyai never knew, right?"

Kyai Aminudin was inflamed, "What kind of empty egg is this?" His shouting.

"Yes, Pakdhe. And as my advice. Return the rights to this pesantren to its owner!" Faruq repeated the word again.

"If you really know something. I wonder, who do you mean the rightful owner of that?" Kyai Aminudin stared intently at Faruq. Now they look at each other.

Afterwards a smile broke from Faruq's lips, "The true owner is entitled to this pesantren..." Faruq stopped his words, then sighed, "Gus Aufa...!"

Seriate...
