BROMOCORAS
Waiting for Habiba

The afternoon atmosphere after Azar in the city of a thousand caves, Pacitan.

The sun had already begun to spread to the western side of the sky when Ajimukti and his entourage entered the courtyard of one of the city's sizable boarding houses. Ajimukti look around, the aroma of rustic beauty and the distinctive atmosphere of salaf pesantren so thick felt in its place at this time.

"We might just be able to get you here, brother. It's okay, right?" Say Ajimukti to Ajeng later.

Ajeng slightly blushed, with a bow he slowly nodded his head lightly, "Yes, Kang. It's nothing. I'm so grateful for being delivered." Say Ajeng then.

"You're heart, Jeng." Imbuh Manan later.

Ajeng only smiled, his happy hue was still so clearly visible on his father's face.

"Yes, Kang Aji, Kang Sobri, Manan. I went in first. Thanks again." Say Ajeng then.

Ajimukti also others just nod. After saying goodbye to each other. The warden immediately stepped out of the place.

Sobri accompanied Ajeng's steps with his eyes that could not be separated from Ajeng's shadow at this time. While Ajimukti and Manan let their eyes look for the figure of Habiba, if if if Habiba is seen around the page.

And at that moment, Ajeng turned his head back towards the back where Ajimukti and the others were still standing. His views now collide with Sobri's views on him. Ajeng was a little embarrassed, while Sobri now tried to throw a smile towards the beautiful girl even though her smile was not so clearly visible from where Ajeng was at the moment.

"Why didn't you just ask Ajeng for help, Jik? I can call you Habiba. Who knows if Habiba is here." Manan then said.

Ajimukti smiled, "If that's the case, we can't predict what will happen after, Nan." Sahut Ajimukti later.

"Predicting? Meaning, Jik?" Manan has not been able to catch Ajimukti's words.

"Simply like Kang Manan. From what I know, Dik Ajeng and Ning Habiba were pretty close friends. We don't know, is Ning Habiba glad we met him or vice versa. If happy, it certainly will not affect Dik Ajeng. But the worry here, if otherwise, if Ning Habiba just doesn't like us to meet him. Of course it will greatly affect the relationship he and Dik Ajeng forward." Sobri interjected with his assumption.

"Rubber, Nan. More or less as Kang Sobri explained this." Ajimukti timpal.

Manan nodded, "Right as well. Why don't I think that far, Jik."

"Then where are we looking, Jik?" Next later.

"I'll try to go in and see the information section. While you and Kang Sobri keep a close eye around the entrance gate, who knows Ning Biba is coming sometime later." Say Ajimukti later.

"Okay then, Jik." Sahut Manan understood the meaning of Ajimukti.

"Then I go in first." Say Ajimukti later.

Manan and Sobri compactly nodded.

Ajimukti immediately stepped into the pesantren area. After asking some of the existing students, Ajimukti was finally able to meet the manager for pesantren information.

After Ajimukti expressed the purpose of his arrival, the management also tried to find information about the santriwati that Ajimukti meant.

"Habiba Awalul Janah bint Aminudin, is that right, Kang?" Ask the manager then.

"Yes, Kang." Sahut Ajimukti confirmed even though he did not know the long name Habiba. But from the name of his father he was sure, the name of the administrator meant the name Habiba.

"There haven't been any reports of that coming in, Kang." Said the manager later.

Ajimukti looks disappointed, "Yet, Kang?" Ask Ajimukti to make sure once again.

"Yes, Kang. Not yet." The manager reaffirmed.

Ajimukti nodded in understanding, "Alright, Kang. Thanks for the information. But can I ask you one favor, Kang?" Ask Ajimukti later.

"Please, Kang." The manager allowed Ajimukti.

"If there may be information coming in from Habiba. Can I ask you to tell me, Kang?" Say Ajimukti later.

"Oh, yes, Kang. Please leave a number. Later if there's data coming in, I'll call you by the way." The manager said friendly.

Ajimukti immediately wrote down his number on a piece of paper and handed it to the manager.

Shortly after that Ajimukti came out of the information room and returned to Manan and Sobri who were still watching around the boarding gate.

"How, Jik?" Manan asked as soon as Ajimukti arrived in front of him.

"There is no information about the arrival of Habiba to the pesantren, Jik." Sahut Ajimukti looks weak. Manan saw an expression of disappointment in Ajimukti's face.

"Then how, Jik. Let's wait here or what?" Ask Manan later.

"Maybe we'd better wait a minute, Nan. Who knows, it hasn't arrived here." Sahut Ajimukti later.

Manan nodded. Ajimukti immediately took them to one of the stalls that led to the pesantren gate. From the stall they can freely watch every new one coming to the pesantren.

Almost two hours they waited in the shop, but the figure they were looking for was not yet visible. Ajimukti seems to be getting restless.

"It seems like there has been no sign of Ning Biba returning to the boarding school today, Nan." Said later.

"I think so too, Jik. Then what now, Jik?" Ask Manan later.

Ajimukti sighed, "We'd better go back, Nan."

"That means failing this, Jik?" Ask Manan who also looks disappointed.

"Not really, Nan. Inside I left a number. And later if there is news of Ning Biba's arrival. The pesantren's information will inform me." Say Ajimukti later.

Manan nodded lightly, "Well, thankfully, Jik. So we just have to wait for news from the pesantren here."

Ajimukti.

After Ajimukti, Manan also Sobri rushed to the car parked in front of the stall to return to Pondok Hidayah.

Ajimukti just nodded, then slightly threw a smile. Actually Ajimukti is not too tired, only his mind is currently unstable.

"Later to change, Kang." Manan said to Sobri.

"Yes, Kang." Sobri then immediately went behind the wheel. Ajimukti sits on the bench next to the wheel. Manan sat in the back seat.

Not long after, the silver painted car passed from where it drove quickly down the streets that began to creep dark.

"Later Maghrib find a mosque on the side of the road, Kang." Say Ajimukti later.

"Snake, Gus." Sahut Sobri while focusing on driving.

Not long ago Ajimukti and others left the pesantren front stall. A red antelope can be seen entering the boarding gate. From inside the car were seen two men and two women. They are Kyai Aminudin, Nyai Sarah, Habiba is also a driver.

"You're good yes, Nduk! Remember Abah's message. You don't tell me anything that's happened to our family." Kyai Aminudin said after that.

Habiba just nodded and then thrust into the arms of Nyai Sarah.

"You have a heart, Nduk. For now you listen to your Abah." Say Nyai Sarah while rubbing the back of her child's head.

"Yes, Mi. Let Habiba in and we'll be right back. Later hunt Pak Kyai his out. It's approaching Maghrib time." Kyai Aminudin later said.

"Chare the heart of the heart." Said Habiba softly while releasing his embrace on Nyai Sarah.

A moment later the car came back out of the boarding school parking lot. While Habiba was as soon as the car that took Abah and Uminya away, he immediately stepped into the boarding school.

Once inside, Ajeng who saw the arrival of Habiba immediately approached him.

"Maaba..." Ajeng said while hugging Habiba. Habiba immediately returned the embrace of his best friend.

"You just got there, Ba?" Ajeng asked who saw Habiba still carrying a bag in his hand.

Habiba nodded, "Yes, Jeng. Just new. You been a long time?" Ask Habiba back.

"Once my Azar gets here, Ba." Say Ajeng with a series of beaming faces.

Habiba immediately saw the happy expression on Ajeng's face while putting his goods into his personal locker.

"It looks like you're really happy, Jeng?" Habiba asked still while arranging some of his clothes into the locker.

Ajeng just smiled his own smile making Habiba shake his head.

"Emmm, I know this. Roman romance you again falling in love huh, Jeng?" Guess Habiba then.

"Ah, what the hell, Ba. You are mah." The teaching looks blushed. But from his blushing cheeks, Habiba knew his guess this time was correct.

"Cie, go home just a little already nyanthol." This time Habiba seduces.

"It's been, Ba. Nothing, you are new until it has seduced people." The teacher looks embarrassed himself. The expression made Habiba convinced Ajeng was being attacked by the pink virus.

Habiba was done, now he dropped his body into his bed. For the past month, the bed that had been for a dozen years witnessed the dream was not used. It felt like Habiba wanted to sleep on the bed immediately.

Habiba woke up again from his fall and now he sat down, watching Ajeng who seemed to have not escaped his happiness today.

"For dong, Jeng." Habiba then said.

"What the hell, Ba?" The cat still covers it.

"Don't want to tell me the same story?" Habiba slightly raised his eyebrows.

Ajeng also blushed.

"It's really nothing special, Ba. Emm, it's just that I'm really grinning." Say Shameful to shame.

"What's that, Jeng? Want to share a story?" Habiba starts to be a little pushy with his subtle innuendo.

"So I was escorted by someone, Ba. Not both of them. He was our two friends too. It is also impossible if he drives me. Afraid of being slandered maybe. Our minds don't know." Ajeng said slightly bowed between hesitation and embarrassment to tell a story.

Habiba was immediately happy to hear the Ajeng story.

"Well, that's right, Jeng. Duh, you sure are you?" Habiba seemed excited to hear the story of the Ajeng.

Ajeng only continued to blush at the words that Habiba said to him.

"So she has the same feeling as you do, Jeng." Habiba.

"Just pray, Ba." Ajeng lirih.

Habiba brought his face closer to Ajeng and smiled broadly, "Dong, Jeng. We are friends."

"But by the way, Jeng. I can't cook who the hell?" Ask Habiba later.

Again, the two cheeks look red. His embarrassed smile also seemed to expand.

"Can't you?" Habiba asked a little urgently.

"Emmm, if that's..." Ajeng stopped his words.

Habiba waited impatiently. His face was still fixedly staring towards Ajeng.

He sighed, "He is..."

Seriate...
