I'm Not an Old Virgin
Season II: Mahligai of Love (Chapter 7.12)
"Why not? We're not going anywhere and we're staying at the boarding house." The word Mega makes sense.
Here's what they still don't understand. Closed life means what and how they carry it out there is still no notice.
Though Ustad said 2 more weeks they have entered a closed life.
"Assynogaal?" Ai interrupted the conversation as they had already reached the room that Ustazah Nur mentioned earlier.
"Waalaikumussalam, are you the santri that Ustazah Nur sent?" Inside were two adult women with simple and polite looks.
They don't seem to be from the Ustazah.
"Yes, Ustazah. We were asked here by Ustazah Nur." Answer Ai gently.
Women who smile more, "Don't call us Ustazah. This call applies only to people who are already highly educated. We were just regular staff and had just graduated from this boarding school. If you want to call us big brother." Said explain.
He then brought the three of them inside. Inside there are a lot of public phones deliberately provided by boarding schools. There are thousands of female students here, very many.
So, to compensate for their boarding houses provide a lot of public telephones.
"Ustazah Nur said 5 minutes for each person," The woman then looked at the timer that was right next to the pay phone.
"If the person you are calling picks up the phone then you can press the timer on the side. If you've been in 6 minutes then inevitably you have to hang up." Said the woman giving orders.
He then invited the three of them and left after not getting any questions.
Ai instantly forgot her depressed mood. He immediately picked up the phone, pressed the home phone number in an impatient motion until finally a connected sound echoed within his hearing.
He bit his lips nervously until finally the very sound he longed for entered his sense of hearing.
"Hallo, assalamualaikum?" This is Mother's soft voice.
Hearing Mother's voice immediately calmed Ai's tense nerves. He clasped the handle of the phone firmly to vent how long his heart was at this moment.
1 Minute had been wasted due to his silence.
"Waalaikumussalam.ini Ai, Mother." Ai replied in a panic when she saw the time would soon enter 2 minutes.
"Ai..this is Ai Mother's child?" Mother's tone of voice was surprised and happy.
He did not expect Ai to be able to contact him even though Santri was only allowed to call the family every Sunday. For that day Mother must be patient to withstand the longing for Ai.
Time has come a long way and soon it will run out. Ai is afraid of running out of time so she immediately spills all her feelings to Mother.
"Ai kangen Mommy and Dad, Ai kangen sisters, and Ai kangen everyone in town. I miss you guys so much.." She cried.
"Son.." The Mother across there sensed that something was wrong with Ai.
"Don't.." He wanted to say that he was really tired but very difficult words came out of his lips.
She is afraid to make Mother sad especially when Mother is pregnant with her sister.
"I miss you all so much." In the end, he could only say this.
If they were at home maybe..he may be able to express all his feelings but unfortunately they are far apart and in addition he does not want to make Mommy feel sad on the other side just because he thinks about the weak.
"Is Ai okay?" Ask Mother across there, her tone no longer panicked and much softer.
Ai shook her head while wiping her tears with her right hand, "I'm fine Mother." Lying, the fact that he's not okay. He is not well, O God, but he does not weep to spill it.
This is not his house, this is not the room he usually locks in order to cry.
Mother sighed, "Thank God Ai is fine, Mother is relieved here." Mother obviously knew she was lying but decided not to reveal it.
"However, if Ai is not comfortable living in a boarding school then Mother and Father will bring Ai back home. At home Ai can study with Dad and there is also Uncle Tio from boarding school graduates. They are men of knowledge dear, inshaa Allah Ai is no different from those who study in boarding schools." Said Mother across there.
Ai from childhood was slow in getting along so she was worried something happened to this daughter.
Ai shook her head,"Ai's at home here Mother. Ai has good and loving friends, they also do not hesitate to be friends with Ai." He then looked at the time that had now been counting fingers.
"Ai's time is running out. Tomorrow God willing on Sunday Ai will call Mother again. Ai dear Mother, assalamualaikum."
And tud, and,
He hung up right away when the time came in at 6. Ai let out a long sigh, her heart was much calmer now.
Seriate..
