Curious

Geck! Geck! Geck!

"Assalamu'alaikum's chat..." The sound of someone greeting from the direction of the door stopped Ajeng and Habiba's chatter this afternoon. Habiba immediately stood up and rushed to open the door of his room.

"Wa'alaikum..." Sahut Habiba while walking quickly from the bed to the door of the room.

"Oh, it just so happens to be you, Habiba." Said one of the sisters to Habiba as soon as the door of the room opened.

"You were told to go to the information office, Ba." Reciprocity.

Habiba's forehead wrinkled, "I? What's up, huh?" Ask Habiba astonishment.

"I don't know Habiba. I just got a message to send you." Santriwati said again.

"good. Thank you, yeah." Sabiba said with a soft voice.

Not long after that santriwati passed.

"Who is Habiba?" Ask a curious.

"Wulan, Jeng." Sahut Habiba is flat while fixing her hijab.

"What's Wulan looking for you?" Tanya Ajeng was curious.

"No idea, Jeng. He was just delivering a message, I was told to the information office that's it." Habiba Sahut.

"You've been there, Jeng." Then he stepped out of the room.

The wedge even slightly frowned. He felt something was up. He also thought that maybe this had something to do with the overthrow of Abah Habiba by Ajimukti. If it is true, then Ajeng should pretend not to know like the message of Ajimukti and Manan, while on the way here earlier, to keep the feeling of Habiba.

As soon as he arrived at the pesantren information room, a pesantren manager was waiting for Habiba.

After saying the habiba greeting was sent in by the manager.

"What's up, Kang?" Habiba asked the manager a little curious.

"Look at Habiba. Someone was looking for you here. Ask if you've come here yet." Said the manager while looking for something in his desk drawer.

Habiba again frowned, "Who, Kang? Sampeyan know not his name?" Habiba's question is still shrouded in curiosity, because during the Nyantri no one else is looking for him other than Abah and Uminya, also Faruq.

Habiba had thought about what it might be Faruq. Because after moving house, Abahnya advised not to tell the Hidayah cottage, it also applies to Faruq.

"Name Aufa. He said he was from your Abahmu's Hidayah Cottage." Said the manager later.

The deg! At once Habiba's heart was beating faster. His body suddenly felt trembling. He remembered very well, Aufa was Ajimukti's middle name. But for what Ajimukti met him, his inner self in heart.

"A...Aufa, Kang?" Ask Habiba to make sure. His gaze was now a little sharper.

The manager nodded slowly, "Do you know him?" Ask the manager then.

Habiba nodded, "I.iya, Kang. He's Kyai Salim Muthoriq's son." Habiba answered a little.

The manager frowned at Habiba's reply.

"Kyai Salim founder and caregiver of Pondok Pesantren Hidayah before?" Ask the manager to make sure.

Habiba nodded lightly.

"just fine. His language was so polite. Exactly the same as his brother, Kyai Salim." The manager nodded in admiration.

"Is there a message he's saying, Kang?" Ask Habiba later.

"none. That's all it is. He asked if you had come yet. Not leaving any message to convey to you." Said the manager.

"Emmm, wait. He had left his number. Would you like to contact him? You can use my HP." Next later.

Habiba thought for a moment. Actually, he was curious about what Ajimukti had come so far to meet him.

"Thank you, Kang. Maybe next time. If not just now." Habiba then said. For a while he wanted to keep the trust that his brother had given him.

The manager just nodded.

"Maybe that's all Habiba wants me to say. You can go back to your room." Said the manager later.

"Good, Kang. Thanks for the information." Sahut Habiba before finally leaving the information room.

In his heart, Habiba still asked what was really there. There's a need for what Ajimukti wants to find here.

His heart was still covered with questions. In such a condition, Habiba raised his hand, staring at the kaoka bracelet that was still curling sweetly on his wrist.

Long enough, Habiba stood while staring at the bracelet. His memory returned that afternoon. On the incident that requires him to get out of Pondok Hidayah. Not about Habiba who had to leave Pondok Hidayah, but on his last chat with Ajimukti at that time.

Habiba smiles. He did not want to think about the arrival of Ajimukti to this pesantren to meet him what purpose. But right now he has enough answers. Whether true or not, Habiba just wants to enjoy the answers he has got to strengthen his feelings on Ajimukti.

Kumandang adhan Maghrib woke up his daydream. Habiba immediately rushed back to the room. In the room, Ajeng was ready to go to the pesantren mosque, to perform congregational Maghrib prayers.

"What was Habiba?" Ask Ajeng as soon as Habiba returns to the room.

"What's wrong, Jeng. Emmm, there was only a seat from Abah." Babiba said a little lie. He does not want to be frank first, considering Ajimukti is no longer santri like when Habiba had told Ajeng. But now Ajimukti is the successor caregiver of Kyai Salim.

"I'm sorry, Jeng." Inner later.

Ajeng just nodded, then sighed. Ajeng relieved it is not about the news of ownership of Pondok Hidayah has been replaced Ajimukti, more precisely back to its rightful owner.

Habiba and Ajeng no longer continue the conversation. They now immediately stepped into the pesantren mosque with several other santriwati.

"We pray all rest first, Kang." Ajimukti to Sobri.

"Snake, Gus." Sahut Sobri.

"It just so happens not to be qomat, Jik. We can join the congregation." Tymphal Manan's.

"Yes, Nan. We'll take ablution first." Ajimukti stepped onto the padasan available on one side of the mosque.

After the Maghrib congregation, Sobri leaned his body on the porch pole of the mosque and Manan was seen hunting because there was business in the bathroom. While Ajimukti itself is still wiridan in the mosque.

Ajimukti soon came out of the mosque and soon followed Sobri.

"Which way, Kang?" Ask Ajimukti as soon as he sees Manan is not there.

"Kang Manan to the bathroom, Gus. Looks like kebelet." Sobri said with a slight smile.

Ajimukti just smiled, nodded and then sat down with Sobri.

"Sampeyan seems to be putting the same heart into Ajeng huh, Kang? Sorry if I was wrong. That's just from what I see, Kang." Say Ajimukti later.

Sobri slightly flinched and instantly the hue of her face flushed red.

"All right, that's it, Gus. There's just one." Sobri tries to cover up her feelings.

"But right tho, Kang?" Ajimukti.

Sobri can't wart. It seems that his gestures and facial expressions can no longer be covered by Ajimukti.

"But I'm less, Gus." Sobri said a little embarrassed.

Ajimukti smile. "Do I need to say the same to Dik Ajeng, Kang?" Say Ajimukti then while glancing towards Sobri who blushed.

"Well, no, Gus. I'm not ready." Sahut Sobri fast.

Ajimukti laughed, "What goddess, Kang?" Goda Ajimukti later, considering that Sobri had been pursued by one of the santriwati, even the santriwati had sent Sobri a letter.

"Ah, mpun it, Gus. That's long gone. Just remember this story. Just make me ashamed." Sobri began to put up a scowl nose.

Ajimukti laughed, "But yes, Kang. Every time I remember it it was like laughing."

"Ah, my niku, Gus Gus." Sobri seems to be starting to be lazy when discussing about him getting a letter from the Goddess at that time.

Manan was back soon.

"It's been a relief, Nan?" Ask Ajimukti later.

Manan just laughed. "Next, Jik?" Said later.

"Yes, Gus. Let's not be too late till the cottage." Timpal Sobri's.

Ajimukti just nodded then stood up to follow Sobri.

"I'm the only Kang who brought his car. Kang Sobri just take a break." Manan then said.

"It's okay, Kang?" Tanya Sobri felt bad for Manan.

"Already, Kang. Just chill. I also want to take a ride on a car that costs this exorbitant like what. Who knows, it could be slit." Manan was a little joking.

"Ah, you could have, Nan." Say Ajimukti later.

"Yes, Kang Sobri. Let Manan drive. Just be careful if the path is like a snail. Can make egg blocks on the stool." Ajimukti.

"Just calm down, Jik. Patas anyway." Manan looked excited.

They finally continued their journey back to Pondok Hidayah.

The sky is completely dark. The lights are still rare from the house on the side of the road into its own decoration tonight.

Manan continued to pump his gas behind the wheel, penetrating the dark streets and slightly starting to fog. His head was seen nodding nodding to the rhythm of the music he played. His mouth also looks umak umik mimicking a melodious humming, just like Ajimukti and Sobri who are also heard humming following one of the Sholawat played by Manan. Sholawat Asnawiyyah, Sholawat Karangan KH. Raden Asnawi of Kudus accompanied their journey tonight.
