Competing Love With Ustadz
Arriving In Pesantren

The whole family took Zayn to Pesantren.

After traveling for more than 8 hours, they finally arrived in the city called Beriman City.

Zayn was still daydreaming staring out the car window when the car had stopped in the Pesantren courtyard.

Zayd held his brother's hand until he broke his dream.

Zayn turned towards Zayd and saw the Sister nodding her head gesturing if they had arrived.

Then Zayn saw Papa and his Mama who had gotten off the car.

"We're down" said Zayd softly.

With a long breath Zayn got out of his car.

He set foot in the small town.

Zayn looked around the Pesantren whose rural atmosphere was still

looks genuine, away from the noise of vehicles and pollution.

"Zayn.." said Faraz, grabbing the son's hand.

Zayn flinched from his daydream.

Then Zayn again observed the building Pesantren building.

He saw there was a two-storey building in the back and one floor forming an L on the left right of the Mosque.

"We register first, look around later," said Faraz who continued to hold his son's hand to the registration room.

Followed by Alia, Zia and Zayd behind Them.

After the registration was completed, an administrator came to welcome them to meet Mr. Kiai.

Pak Kiai's house, which is located next to the girls' dormitory, makes them have to pass through the girls' dormitory and make santriwati flocked out to see the handsome twins who are so clear and charming.

The screams of the sisters did not make Zayn interested in seeing them, because his heart was really upset because he had to spend his teenage years in the holy prison.

Arriving at Pak Kiai's house, the entire Faraz family shook the hands of Pak Kiai and Bu Nyai who welcomed Their arrival with a friendly smile.

"Please sit down." said Mr. Kiai.

"Thank you Mr. Kiai." said Faraz who told his wife and children to sit down.

"Where would you go?" asked Mr. Kiai to see Faraz carrying three children.

"This is Mr. Kiai, Zayn" said Faraz embracing the shoulder of Zayn who was sitting nearby.

Mr. Kiai looked at Zayn who looked so riled up and continued to turn his eyes to and fro.

"Zayn." lirih Alia hinted her son to look at Pak Kiai.

Zayn complied and nodded his head with a faint smile.

"This is Mr. Kiai, my son is still very much in need of guidance about morality and religion, he said, So I hope Mr. Kiai and the board of this boarding school can be patient in guiding my son to become a better person."

"God willing, but on condition."

"When your son is in a boarding school, We hope you do not interfere with the rules of the boarding school, Let Us educate Your son in Our way and do not blame Us much less sue the boarding house when We give him punishment for his disobedience."

Zayn increasingly wanted to rebel to hear what Mr. Kiai said, while Faraz was silent staring at Alia and her Son.

"E... His sentence is still a reasonable limit, right Mr Kiai?" ask Alia worried.

"Calm down, we only punish him to make him deterred and will not endanger his life" Mr. Kiai said.

"Just do what Mr. Kiai thinks is good" Faraz said.

After talking quite far about his son's mischief and meeting Nyai's mother, Faraz asked for permission to go home.

But before that Faraz wanted to see the dormitory that his son would live in.

The manager escorted Zayn to the dormitory and was followed by the Papa and his twin brother. While Alia and Zia wait in front of the class because women should not add to the santri putra area.

Faraz saw a room filled with six bunk beds which meant that the students slept on and under the bed.

This is very much different from the large bed that Zayn used in his house to make Zayn step back to imagine how cramped and hot he slept in a narrow bed with many people in it.

"Zayn" said Faraz, whose foot was on the step of the son.

"Pa... Zayn can't sleep in a place like this, Zayn please just cancel, Papa can law Zayn in another way."

"Can't Zayn, Papa's decision has been round, Besides this is quite comfortable, other pesantren even some who sleep only on a mat."

"But Pa..."

"Papa beg Zayn to obey Papa."

Zayn fell silent and lowered his head.

"Now meet your Mama before we go home."

With no further objections, Zayn followed his Papa to let go of his entire family.

Alia hugged Zayn tightly and could not hold back her tears.

"Learn the real yes Dear, Let's get together again." cried Alia.

Zayn nodded slowly and continued to rub his mother's back, then hugged Zia and hugged Zayd tightly.

"Tell me if you need my help" whispered Zayd.

Zayn slumped thinly and patted the back of his twin brother, then hugged his Papa.

"We went home first Zayn, Trust me Papa did this for your own good."

Zayn fell bitterly and broke his embrace.

"We all love you" said Faraz, who told his family to get in the car.

Zayn can only see the departure of his entire family leaving him alone in the small town.
