BROMOCORAS
Finding Aminudin

That night after Isha'. The atmosphere of Pondok Hidayah is quite quiet. There are only a few santri who are enjoying coffee in some corner of the pesantren.

Unlike the case with the terrace ndalem pesantren. On the terrace, some people were chatting. They are none other than Ajimukti, Nyai Kartika, Dullah, Sobri, Manan and Kang Harun, one of the towers and teachers at Pondok Pesantren Fadhlun Muthoriq.

"Maybe tomorrow's mom has to go back to Jogja again, Le." Nyai Kartika said in the middle of their conversation.

Ajimukti straightened his sitting position, then leaned his body slightly in front of Nyai Kartika.

"Does Sibu want to stay here any longer? The day after tomorrow it's possible." Ask Ajimukti as if he wants to hold his mother.

Nyai Kartika smiled then stroked Ajimukti's shoulder, "Want it like that, Le. But it will also pity you there if you stay too long."

Ajimukti sighed and slightly nodded his head, "I understand, Mom." Ajimukti lirih.

Nyai Kartika again rubbed Ajimukti's shoulders while smiling to encourage the new Ajimukti will fight in this Hidayah Cottage.

"Mas Aji, sorry I interrupted." Said Dullah who is now slightly upholding his sitting position.

"What's up, Lek?" Tanya Ajimukti saw Dullah's unusual expression.

"I think the business here is done. And again, here there is also Prastowo who will be ready if anything happens." Dullah sighed.

Ajimukti can catch Dullah's words.

"How about I go with Ma'am Yu back to Jogja, Mas?" Ask Dullah a little doubt.

As Ajimukti alleged. Ajimukti just smiled.

"Yes, Lek. I understand that too. And maybe Lek Dul has also missed Bu Lek Tri huh?" Goda Ajimukti later.

Dullah just blushed. Everyone there laughed at Ajimukti's words.

"But, Sir. Is it okay if Sobri stays here for a while?" Sobri asked suddenly interrupted.

Dullah frowned, then turned to look at Nyai Kartika and Ajimukti. Nyai Kartika nodded. Dullah understood what it meant.

"Emmm, okay. Just help Mas Aji here." Said Dullah later.

"Just calm down, sir. Sobri must be helping Gus Aufa here." Sobri seemed excited after getting permission Dullah to stay in Pondok Hidayah for a while.

"It seems that here will be more developed if it is handed over to the young Kang Dullah. While his old duties are now just directing." Nyai Kartika later said.

"True Ma'am Yu. I'm also sure the younger generation ahead will be much better than the younger generation I once was." Dullah added to Nyai Kartika's remarks.

Nyai Kartika just smiled. But suddenly Nyai Kartika's facial expression changed slightly. There was a nervousness between the wrinkles on his face. Dullah realized that.

"What's wrong, Miss Yu? Looks like there's something that Ma'am Yu thinks?" Ask Dullah then.

Hearing that, made Ajimukti and Sobri direct their gaze towards Nyai Kartika.

"Yes, Mom. Is there anything Sibu is thinking about right now?" Ajimukti asked after seeing that look of uneasiness on Nyai Kartika's face.

Nyai Kartika sighed then curled her lips. "I was just thinking about Ustadz Amin. To this day, he has no news. Even yesterday he was not present." Nyai Kartika's words were a little heavy.

Ajimukti understood what his mother was thinking. He is also thinking the same thing now.

"I understand that too, Mom. I am also Manan assisted Gus Faruq has also tried to find news of Kyai Aminudin family. But Gus Faruq said, Kyai Aminudin has moved out of his old house. After leaving here, they returned to their previous home, but it turned out they were there only two nights, after which they moved where no one knew." Ajimukti. Manan also seemed to nod in confirming.

"That's, Le. I was actually hoping that Ustadz Amin would realize his mistake and stay here. But apparently, he chose to go." Nyai Kartika looked so anxious this time.

"It wasn't Kyai Aminudin who wanted to leave, Ms Yu. But Miss Nyai Sarah is also Habiba her daughter who forced Kyai Aminudin to leave here." Dullah.

Nyai Kartika grabs Ajimukti's hand.

"Mom hope you keep finding out where they are, Le. Keep a good relationship with him." Nyai Kartika's Message to Ajimukti.

"God willing, Mom. I'll keep looking for where they are." Ajimukti really seemed to be in his words this time.

Nyai Kartika just nodded and smiled. And for a moment the atmosphere of the terrace was silent. No more talking.

In the middle of that silence. The faint sound of a motorcycle engine desing leads towards the ndalem courtyard. At once the view was fixed on two motorcycles that stopped not far from the terrace ndalem.

"That Mr. Dhe Pras same Budhe Sum also Ajeng, Jik." Whisper Manan on Ajik.

"What's the night like this Prastowo here?" Mumbled Dullah too.

Before long Prastowo followed his wife and son to step towards the terrace of the ndalem. After saying hello, they sat on the terrace.

While Manan immediately rushed to the pawon ndalem to make a drink. Sobri, who realized what Manan was going to do, immediately stood up and caught up with Manan.

"How about, Miss Yu today?" Tanya Prastowo just greeted Nyai Kartika after taking a seat.

"As Kang Pras knew. Alhamdulillah it looks like the pesantren will be fine and it is likely that tomorrow I will return to Jogja, Kang." Nyai Kartika Sahut.

"Well, why hunt Ms Yu?" Sumiatun.

"Pity the children there, Madam Sum, if I stay long." Nyai Kartika Sahut.

"And I still want to ngangsu same njenengan you know Mbak Yu." Sumiatun's speech may be just a stale base.

"What comes with me to Jogja just Maak Sum." Nyai Kartika with a smile.

Nyai Kartika also now laugh with Sumiatun.

"I also went back to Jogja, Pras." Said Dullah in the middle of the chat Nyai Kartika also Sumiatun it.

"Loh, you too, Dul?" Prastowo asked somewhat in shock.

"Yes, Pras. I also have to take care of that there. Pity me if I've been here a long time." Answer Dullah later.

"Yes yes yes. I get it, Dul." Prastowo said with a few nodding his head.

"I'm Mas Aji, Pras. What if I leave it to you to take care of it." Dullah's message to Prastowo.

Prastowo patted Dullah on the shoulder, "You take it easy, Dul. If I am not able to. There's Anggoro too. And you know for yourself how Anggoro is. You just calm down." Prastowo said so convincingly.

Dullah smiled calmly. He is sure, both Prastowo and Anggoro are friends and relatives who are so reliable.

"Oh yes Ms. Yu, this is my son Ajeng, whom I told you about yesterday." Said Sumiatun while introducing his son Ajeng to Nyai Kartika.

Ajeng simply nodded because and again grabbed Nyai Kartika's hand and kissed the back of her hand once more.

"Then his son Maak Sum's friend." Nyai Kartika praised Ajeng. Ajeng who heard that blushed and his cheeks reddened.

"Still in school or nyantri, Nduk, Cah ayu?" Ask Nyai Kartika on Ajeng.

With a downcast Ajeng trembled to answer.

"Ajeng nyantri in Pacitan, Nyai." Sahut Ajeng short.

"Oh, that's good, Nduk. Later when it's done, can help your brother teach here." Nyai Kartika later said.

Ajeng just nodded, he did not know what else to talk to Nyai Kartika. At this time, being able to get acquainted and just sit together is not good for Ajeng.

"Have you met Miss Nyai, Nduk?" Prastowo interrupted the conversation between his wife and Nyai Kartika in the middle of his conversation with Dullah.

"Already, Sir. That's your son. Isinane eram." Sumiatun. While Ajeng himself just nodded.

Nyai Kartika himself only smiled while occasionally praising Ajeng made Ajeng wrong and blushed shyly.

"Oh, yes, Dul. Where's sobri?" Prastowo asked, realizing that Sobri was not with them.

"Rear, Lek. Make a drink with Manan." Sahut Ajimukti later.

"Ajeng yesterday I have not been able to introduce your son, Dul. Jesus muleh was yesterday." Prastowo.

"Yes, Pras. Yesterday I asked him also he said he had not met your son." Dullah.

"Yes, Lek. Mumpung still here know all those who were at that time." Ajimukti chirps remind while laughing.

Before long, Manan and Sobri came out from the direction in carrying a tray of drinks as well as snacks.

"Sorry, Mr. Dhe. It used to be a bit long to cook water." Manan.

"Yes, Nan. It's okay what. You even bother." Prastowo Sahut.

"It's okay, Mr. Dhe." Put a drinking glass on the table.

"Bu Nyai, unjukanipun dalem gantos." Sobri said to Nyai Kartika.

Nyai Kartika just nodded. At that moment, Sobri's view was fixed on Ajeng. Although only as fierce as it is but their views had clashed.

"Well, this is his son, Pras." Dullah told Prastowo later.

"Le, Grey. This is Mr. Lek's son. Ajeng. You guys haven't met yesterday?" Prastowo said introducing Ajeng to Sobri.

Ajeng and Sobri just lowered their heads and threw a smile. There was a different expression emanating on Sobri's face. Ajimukti realizes that and just smiles at his own smile. While Manan, it actually felt something else with the state of Sobri.

"Later on you guys this is what I hope to be able to help Aufa here. Help help santri santri here." Nyai Kartika said to the four young people.

They just shy away in shame.

"Quickly, Manan and I will also look for the whereabouts of Kyai Aminudin, Ma'am. Kyai Aminudin also had a child. And Kyai Aminudin's son was also a boarding school with Dik Ajeng in Pacitan." Say Ajimukti, "Who knows, Ning Biba, Kyai Aminudin's daughter wants to help the princess here." Reciprocity.

"Loh, yes to, Nduk? Ustadz's son Amin's your friend nyantri?" Ask Nyai Kartika on Ajeng.

"Lere's, Nyai." Answer Ajeng while nodding his head.

"Good then, Le. It is easy that his daughter Ustadz Amin wants to return to take care of this boarding school. I really hope you too Son Manan can find out the whereabouts of Ustadz Amin and his family today." Nyai Kartika looks hopeful.

"Pangestunipun Sibu mawon." Sahut Ajimukti.

Nyai Kartika just smiled.

"Later Mr. Lek also tried to help Mas Aji find out the whereabouts of Kang Amin." Prastowo said later.

"Thank you Mr. Lek."

For a while the atmosphere of the core of the ndalem Gus Aufa was quite able to break the silence of the night after Isya'. Even outside, some students also seem to have not left the place where they spent the night.

Seriate...
