Islam Learning Fasting
22. Punishment

"Water? What is Hajj for?"

"Take it!" His request made Shuaib nod quickly and then walked away.

Abah Habib glanced at Akbir who nodded as Abah Habib gave the code for Akbir to tell all the students to leave the mosque.

"Children now you can all disperse and remember what your duties are before entering the class," Akbir said making the santri reply and step away from the mosque.

Now in this air-conditioned mosque are Abah Habib, Akbir, Fidaus and Rahman. There's nothing more than them.

"Is he Islamic?" whispered Rahman.

"Yes" replied Firdaus who also whispered.

"Is this true? One of them is the son of Akhw alam Akbar and the grandson of pak haji kiyai?" whispered Rahman could not believe it.

"Hust! Stop that!" reprimanding Firdaus while putting his index finger in front of his lips.

Abah Habib let out a long breath, after which he glanced silently to the side where Firdaus and Rahman whispered to each other. Abah Habib knew what Rahman was thinking when he first saw Islam and his three companions.

"This is Pak Haji Kiyai" said Syuaib, who now put a bucket of clean water on the floor right next to Abah Habib.

Abah Habib grabbed the dipper filled with water that made Akbir was wide, as well as Firdaus and Rahman while Shuaib was seen smiling.

"Change! Abah wants ap-"

Syurrrs

Akbir had not yet completed the water speech from the dipper flushed away the bodies of the Islamic, Christian, Abirama and Ali bodies who were immediately aghast from the floor with a wet body.

"Flood!!!" shouted Ali who quickly stood up straight.

Islam rose while rubbing his wet face until he managed to look at Abah Habib who was holding a dipper.

"What the hell is"

Islam turned to look at Kristian, Abirama and Ali who also looked wet. Islam turned his head, he looked back at Abah Habib who looked silent.

"Lo my nyiram?" ask Islam with his heavy voice.

"No, it's just a punishment for a santri who dares not to attend dawn prayers and chooses to sleep inside the mosque."

Islam smiled cynically making the corners of his lips lift. Is there such a punishment.

"Say lo it's kiyai, the most admired person in pesantren but it could-cannya lo nyiram me."

"Lo if you just want to treat me like mending you don't need me to invite to go to the boarding school because until anytime I won't change!" Show Islam.

"Please keep talking!" rahman said while pushing the index finger of Islam made Islam glance, he never saw this man.

"Heh lo who lo!!!" ali's shout which quickly pushed Rahman's chest sent Rahman crashing to the floor.

Both of Firdaus' eyes were wide open looking at the son who was on the floor. Firdaus quickly knelt down and helped Rahman get up.

"You really-"

"Don't you like it?!!" ali shouted, his voice held inside the mosque.

"You-you"

"Stop!" pekatan Abah Habib made Firdaus who wanted to join the shout undo his intentions.

"I'm sorry Abah's grandson" said Abah Habib, who looked at Paradise and Rahman in turn.

Firdaus took a deep breath and nodded, although he honestly did not accept the rude behavior of Ali and Islam. Abah Habib stepped away followed by a smiling Shuaib while carrying the bucket filled with water.

"Come on Rahman!" call Firdaus and then step away leaving Rahman who is now staring at four thug-looking men who are still staring at him.

"What lo?!!" ali's shout made Rahman jerk in shock making him immediately run away leaving them all.

"Basar mushy lo!!!" shout Islam.

Islam rubbed his black jacket that was still wet until Islam turned his head and realized that Akbir, the uncle of Islam was still in front of him. Akbar looked at Islam with seriousness.

Akbir was silent, there was no answer.

"Lo's angry too? Lo also want to anger me because I have slept in the mosque, did not participate in dawn prayers or because my friend had encouraged me?"

Akbir slowly lowered his head with a smile and then raised his chin again to look at the confused face of Islam.

"I'm proud of you" Akbir said, astounding Islam.

Islam smiles cynically.

"Lo proud of what's from me? I'm not proud of you, why can't you be proud?" ask Islam.

"I saw something special about you" Akbir said.

Hearing that made Islam laugh giggling lure his three friends to laugh.

"Not to be pretentious with me," said Islam with his face and tone that became serious.

"Until now, I will not be at home here" said Islam then walked away with Kristian, Abirama and Ali.

"Islam!" call Akbir to make the Islamic move stop.

"Akbar does not see the good of you but he continues to see your badness so that the good he forgets" said Akbir who somewhat raised his tone so that Islam heard his speech.

Not long after Islam resumed its steps leaving Akbir who was still smiling back there.

"See you in class!!!" yell Akbir.

...***...

Sarifuddin placed four white cloaks with black sarongs and white pecis on his bed while Islam, Kristian, Abirama and Ali sat on the edge of Abirama's bed staring at Sarifuddin.

"This is a dress for all of us" said Sarifuddin.

"What do we do, do we want kamana?" ask Kristian.

"Say sir Haji kiyai we are all told to go to class continue to learn with me and the same santri others," he explained.

"Huh? Enter class?" abirama asked, "Did I learn what that means?"

"Iye," answered Sarifuddin while smiling his trademark is a big smile with white teeth and pecans that look tilted to the right.

"So this dress is from the old man?" ask Islam.

"Who's old?" sarifuddin did not understand. "I'm old?" ask again while pointing at his nose.

Ali smacked her lips in annoyance.

"Eh anjirt, I mean the old Islam, haji kiyai lu! Don't you know lo?" inexplicably.

"Oh, hehehe that's what he means..." Sarifuddin laughed wryly as he closed his lips.

"Iye, this is from Haji kiyai sir, he who asked earlier," continued Sarifuddin.

Islam rose from his seat making his four friends look up.

"Dam!!! You know that old man if I'm the same friend I don't want to go to class!" islam says while pointing.

"Loh don't mi like that! Come on, let's cooperate with me kodong"

"Cock?" asked Abirama did not understand.

"Who is it?!!" ali snapped with both eyes glaring at him.

"Astagfirullah, no! Kodong was in Bugis kasian language," he explained with a panicked face.

"Ooooooh!!!" say everything compactly.

"So we all want to go to class and learn to?" sarifuddin asked while Islam, Christianity, Abirama and Ali were silent while looking at each other.
