I'm Not an Old Virgin
Season II: Mahligai of Love (Chapter 6.7)
Ai knocked on the door of the dormitory staff room politely and lightly so as not to disturb the staff who were working inside.
"Assalamualaikum, Ustazah Nur?" It just so happened that there was an Ustazah that Ai knew. Her name is Ustazah Nur, she is a woman with glasses who is now busy looking at computers seriously.
Some of the staff raised their heads looking towards the entrance, they took a moment to smile before returning to their respective jobs.
"Vaalaikumussalam. Are you looking for me?" Ustazah Nur immediately stood up to the three of them.
"Yes, Ustazah. We want to ask for help from Ustazah." Said Ai embarrassed.
Ai's soft face and red cheeks still Ustazah Nur remembered well. So he immediately greeted Ai when the memory of Ai was confirmed.
"Alright, but before that you better go in first so as not to hinder others who want to go inside." Ustazah Nur ordered them to sit in the front seat of his desk.
He fixed the location of his glasses before asking, "What do you need help with? If this is still within the scope of the boarding house then we will help."
Ai saw Asri and Mega. From his eyes he obviously wanted them to talk. But Asri and Mega shut their mouths as much as possible. They act as if only Ai needs help when they don't.
Since Asri and Mega were acting like that, Ustazah Nur thought that the only one who needed help was Ai so he directed his four eyes to pay attention to Ai.
Ai becomes awkward,"Em, look at Ustazah. I...Can I borrow the cottage's phone to call my parents? There's something I want to talk to them about."
There is no medicine that works best for the heart except to draw near to Allah and to speak with both parents. Any problem will feel lighter when involving God and asking prayers to both parents.
Ustazah Nur once again fixed the location of his glasses. He shook his head while pointing at the large announcement taped at the entrance of the staff room.
"You can't do it today because your schedule has been arranged by the boarding school. You can contact your parents for 7 minutes every Sunday in turns. If you do not want to queue then you can come early in the morning to take the front row or if not you have to be patient to queue to get a turn. Everything was clearly written in the announcement."
Ai and the others followed the direction of Ustazah Nur's index finger and saw that there was indeed a large sheet containing the announcement.
"Em.sorry Ustazah, we didn't notice." Ai apologized politely.
"But.were we able to get relief from the boarding school? Because there's something we want to talk about." He said awkwardly and embarrassedly.
Ustazah Nur smiled kindly,"Sorry, Ai..shi? Yes, the rules must be carried out according to their own rules. Moreover, you are a new santri so it is good to adapt for the next 1 week until you are allowed to contact both of your parents. Staying away from family is not fun but believe that being away from them makes you more aware that they are very important and valuable. Well, for now you have to hold it for the next 1 week. Come back here on Sunday."
Ai and the others were disappointed. But they know that rules are rules. They couldn't ask for it even though they made a drama attempt though.
"Thank you Ustazah for the information. Insha Allah on the coming Sunday we will come back here again."
Ustazah Nur smiled again,"Sama-sama. I'll wait for you guys to come."
Ai, Asri, and Mega then stood up from their seats. Say hello before coming out of the staff room of the princess dormitory.
"I'd love to talk to Mom and Dad." Asri said while sighing dissatisfiedly.
They saw the seats that are usually used by students to gather and discuss the subject matter on a normal day. This is a special place for santriwati and male Satri is not allowed to enter or pass if there is no special interest.
"Well, how else. This is a rule that has been set pesantren cottage and we as new students do not have the authority to ask for leniency." Mega is helpless.
Ai couldn't say anything either. He chose to shut his mouth and enjoy the peace in the midst of his heart.
"We just need to accept it with the airy chest because all this is set." His whisper while closing his eyes, permeating the strong wind that blows his face-piercing
"Uhuk.uhuk.we better go back to the dormitory because it's hot and dusty here!" Asri accidentally inhaled the flying dust. It made him choke and ended up coughing.
While Mega had already saved her face by using a hijab cloth, she did not care at all about Asri's complaint because she liked it here despite the amount of dust. Only Ai was unaffected by all the chaos caused by the force earlier.
He simply closed his eyes enjoying every caress of wind on his face.
"Astagfirulah.." Asri once again makes a fuss but Mega and Ai still don't care.
