"If there's a problem, report it directly to Ustazah or Ustad's supervisor, okay? If the boarding school cabin permits Ai can also call Mother and Father. God willing, we'll try to spend some time coming here." Mother is still not finished advising Ai.
Whereas all the way to the boarding house Mother and Father never wasted time to talk about many things about boarding school to him. To be honest, Ai was happy to get warmth from both her parents. But he didn't want both of his parents to be like this just because of worrying about him.
He was already big and it was time to be brave.
"Mother need not worry, no matter how much trouble Ai faces here Ai will try to solve it herself. Insha Allah, as long as Ai stands in the right place Allah will not leave Ai alone. As for Mother, Ai did not want to make Mother too many thoughts. Remember, Mother is currently pregnant with Ai's sister. So, Mommy should rest more and take the time to relax with Daddy. Ai does not want something to happen to Mother and sister Ai just because of Mother's concerns. If that happens, naudzubillah..Ai will be very angry with yourself-"
"Son, don't say that again." Mother could not stand.
Mother's face now looks very red but the look in her eyes can not hide her mood now. Of course he was angry at Ai for thinking of a no-no.
"Mother and Dad are like this because we love you, son." Dad finally spoke.
From then on he kept himself from saying anything as he enjoyed the harmonious interaction of his wife and son. Especially at this time his wife is pregnant with their fifth child - oh, more precisely their sixth child. So, she had many times become a sensitive and spoiled woman. This is at least better than the experience when pregnant with twins.
At that time Father was very overwhelmed to face the changing mood of Mother who was very fast and irregular.
"Ai know Dad, Ai also loves Daddy and Mommy. Not only you, but Ai also loves her sisters, Grandpa and Grandma, as well as the other Aunty-aunties. You are the best in Ai's heart that's why Ai doesn't want you to worry about Ai too much, really..Ai can definitely get through everything here." Ai knew, she knew how sincere they were all to her.
That was why he did not want to overload their minds, making them worry about him even though in reality he did doubt that he could go through everything well.
"Oh Allah, Ai.." Mother breathed a heavy sigh.
"Mother completely forgot you're now grown up." He said as he gently rubbed Ai's pretty face.
Ai just smiled a little, took Mother's hand from her face and kissed her. He will miss them very much here.
"Take good care here, remember what Mother said earlier. If there is something do not forget to ask for help from Ustad or Ustazah supervisor. Hear that?"
"Hear this, Mother." The answer is helpless.
Dad came near her too. He rubbed Ai's head how many times before peeping Ai's forehead long.
"We'll miss you so much at home." Dad's whispers sound raspy.
"Ai am also Dad, Ai will miss you all so much here." The reply began to feel sad.
Father nodded lightly, rubbing Ai's head while chanting a short prayer. This is a prayer where Father asks God to ask Ai to go to study just as he and Mother meridhoi Ai left. I hope God protects Ai here and makes it easier for him to study.
"Well, Ai can come in now." Father said after he finished praying Ai.
Ai then takes Dad's hand, kisses him long before switching to kiss Mommy's hand. After that he lowered his head kissing the distended stomach of Mother who was pregnant for only 4 months. Ai hope her sister is healthy in Sana and does not bother her Mother.
"Dedek inside don't be naughty well. You must obediently listen to Mother in the future so that both of you are always in good health. Maybe.when you are born later Brother is not there, but you should know there is or not Brother on that day Brother's heart is still very loving Dedek. Maybe one day if the cottage allows holidays Brother will come home to see you, so for that day we must be equally patient." Whisper in front of Mother's distended stomach.
Ai hugged her parents long before joining the long queue of new students. The parents are not allowed to enter but take them to the front gate of the boarding school.
The Abu Hurairah Pesantren
The writing was arrogantly standing above the gate. Make the hearts of the pursuers of science thump between nervousness and fear.
For some people including Ai, this was her first experience away from home and both her parents. She was so afraid of disappointing them, she was afraid of not being able to make friends, and she was more afraid that they would ostracize her.
Inside the queue Ai several times looked back to look at her parents. He thought both his parents were gone but in fact they were still standing in the same place with a gentle smile as usual.
"Mother, Father.." His whisper, carrying his head, turned away from them.
"Please pray for Ai." Because he was so scared without them.
"Please hand over the entry documents, deck." Ai at the end of the queue.
In front of him was now a beautiful girl with covered clothes in light green greeting kindly. From the id card hanging around her neck Ai finds out if this girl is named Sasa, she is the 'Dormitory Disciplinary Officer' of the Dormitory'.
Maybe their eleven or twelve assignments are the same as the OSIS in school.
"It's Brother." Ai took out a blue map from her backpack and gave it to Sasa.
"Good." Sasa instantly accepted it, opening Ai's blue map for a bit before taking it down on the computer.
"Aishi Humaira," He then looked at Ai with a friendly smile.
"What a pretty name." Reconnect before re-typing.
"Well, here's the document. Ai just go inside and follow the queue in front for the next registration process. If Ai is confused in front of the girls' dormitory disciplinary officer who is already on guard, so just ask what Ai wants to ask them." He said it was friendly while returning Ai's blue map.
What Father and Mother said was not a lie, the people in the boarding house were very friendly and open. Ai's mind was calm.
"Thank you, Brother."
After that Ai went into the courtyard of the boarding school. The queue here is also long. They are slowly directed into the hallway of the boarding school. From the door of the rooms here Ai concluded that this place is where the staff of the boarding school work. Perhaps you could say the TU room in a public school.
The registration process here is longer than outside. Ai and the other santri-santri had to wait patiently before getting a call from the person inside.
"Aishi Humaira." He was finally called.
Seriate..
