Islam Learning Fasting
32. Unlock

Islam laid his body on the terrace in front of Abah Habib's room. It felt like Islam was upset with the old man, he said to fill the pool with water and take it in the river but the truth is that there is a well behind the bath and worse, there is no need to draw water, there are machines and water shells that can drain water into the pool.

This is a futile act! The old man seemed to be playing a patience test! Take it easy Islam will be more than that.

"We are all called Abah Habib" said Sarifuddin who had just come out of Abah Habib's room.

Islam rose from the floor staring at three friends who had been limp, Yap they keep fasting without ever canceling his fast even though honestly the intention was already there.

Islam, Christianity, Abirama, Ali and Sarifuddin now stand in front of Abah Habib who is seen sitting on a chair. Now somehow they seem to repeat the memories of High School that every day must stand face to face with the teacher BK.

"How's it?" abah Habib asked in silence.

Now they look at each other. Abirama raised her chin to look at Abah Habib.

"My sheath was bitten by a dog" Abirama fought with her eyes reddened, she wanted to cry.

Abah Habib sighed, not long after he saw Sarifuddin rubbing his wet cheek.

"Why antum?"

"The sheath Abirama wears is my sheath" he replied.

"I'm sorry" Abirama said with a tearful look on her face.

Abah Habib let out a long sigh and smiled.

"What about the others?"

Kristian raised his right hand, "I'm thirsty sir Haji kiyai," he replied honestly.

"Everything must be like that"

"But you don't go up and down the hill" cut Islam.

Abah Habib was silent.

"Gue does not understand, you deliberately want to torture me with another by taking water in a river far from the boarding school when there are water shells on the pool and there are su-mur," inexplicably.

"It's not torture, it's punishment."

Islam blinks it does not accept, What kind of punishment is this?

"If everyone else makes a mistake, Abah will give a heavier punishment than this."

Islam snorted angrily and then he turned and walked away. The steps of Islam stopped at the lip of the door, he turned to look at Abah Habib who was now staring at him.

"If you just want to torture me at the boarding school mending lo me go home to Umi, Umi will not torture me like this."

"Better Abah who torments antum than Allah who tortures antum" Abah Habib said.

Islam poked his lips and then resumed his steps.

...***...

"Hunger!!!" christian moans lying on his bed.

"Youuus!!!" groaned again.

Sarifuddin who was reading the Qur'an looked up at the Christian who had been shouting since.

"Patience!" sarifuddin said then continued his recitation of the Koran.

"Din, when can I drink it anyway? I'm hungry!Thirsty!" tanya Ali was busy fanning her body with a book.

"Later if the sun has sunk," said Sarifuddin.

Hearing this, Ali got out of his bed and stepped towards the window. He lifted the curtain that blocked his view and looked at the perfectly rounded sun above.

"Woy when did you drown?!!! I'm thirsty!!!" ali shouted with a whimpering voice.

Islam who had been staring at Ali was now looking up at the clockwork of the wall that was beating for so long.

"It looks like the clock is broken." Show Islam to make others look up.

"Din, besides the sun that sinks when else can I eat and drink?" tanya Ali who is now lying on his bed.

Sarifuddin again stopped reading his Qur'an.

"Later if Azan's voice is heard," he replied.

The atmosphere is now quiet. All three have since tried to sleep but this is not easy, a dry throat and stomach that sounds and hurts it disrupts their sleep.

اَللهُ اَكْبَرُ،اَللهُ اَكْبَرُ

Everyone got up from his bed with a surprised look after hearing the sound of the azan that was reverberating in the mosque.

"Open!!!" shouted Ali.

"Alhamdulillah" said Kristian, rubbing his face with both hands. I don't know why Kristian said that, he was so happy.

Both eyes of Sarifuddin was wide-eyed to look at Islam, Christianity, Abirama and Ali who were now stepping down from his bed intending to leave the room.

"Wait!!!" sarifuddin shouted making the four turn their heads.

"Where are we going?"

"You drink" answered Islam.

"Can't!" sarifuddin.

Ali's happy face now disappears making his face become creepy.

"Anjirt lo yah!" Point at.

"And Azan is a fool!" His speech.

"That's Azan Azhar! Later azaan maghrib can only eat and drink," replied Sarifuddin who participated in emotions.

Everyone snorted in annoyance and then returned to their respective beds.

...****...

Islam sits on the carpet where the dining table where he and others eat here. At this hour they are led to a place to eat. Islam who had been silent in his seat while staring at the table waiting for the veiled girl to pour vegetables kale.

"Hust!" reprimanding Sarifuddin while hitting the hand of Christians who tried to reach the glass filled with cold water.

"Not yet!" sarifuddin reminded.

"Gum touch."

"Can't!" disallow.

Islam smiled with excitement looking at the black veiled girl who was seen stepping out while carrying a container containing kale vegetables.

Deck

Islam touched her chest that was beating very fast, the veiled girl was so very interested in Islam. He stepped so very gently. Islam stared at the tip of his cute hand like a tiny baby finger carrying the container.

Islam rose from the carpet making Sarifuddin, Kristian, Abirama and Ali look up.

"Where are you going?" ask Sarifuddin.

Islam watched.

"Em I'm gonna grab some food."

"Can you?" ask Abirama.

"Eh yet! Sit down!" pinta Sarifuddin's.

"But-" Islam turned its head to look at the girl who was seen still at the table there.

"God!" sarifuddin.

Islam looked at Sarifuddin.

"Let's sit!" pinta Sarifuddin's.

Islam looked back at the table, Islam furrowed his eyebrows in wonder, there was no more girl there.Where was the girl? Islam sat back and stared at the table, hoping he could see the girl again.

The sound of the azan reverberating made everyone in the room say thankfulness, the first fast was finished.

"Come min-" asked Sarifuddin after reading the iftar prayer. His remarks came to a halt after discovering Islam, Christianity, Abirama and Ali who seemed busy gulping down the cold water poured by Umma Nur.

Sarifuddin smiled and shook his head, they must all be thirsty after fasting and running.

Umma Nur stepped closer to the table of Islam and the others while carrying a container.

"Can I have the plate?"

"Yes ma'am" replied Abirama who then lifted up the empty plate.

Umma Nur put something on the plate and then after that he stepped away from Islam, Christianity, Abirama and Ali who were seen gawking.

Ali raised a date with his face.

"What's this?" ask Ali.

"Kurma" answered Sarifuddin.

"Gue laper, where might be satiated eat this."

"Eat it, after that maghrib prayer and then eat rice," explained Sarifuddin.

"Sholat again?" christian Shock.

Sarifuddin nodded.

"How many times do you pray?"

"Five, it is mandatory not to include the sunah," replied Sarifuddin.

"It's hard to be a Muslim, a lot of rules" said Kristan.

"That's for antum, for us no" replied Sarifuddin then rose up to make Islam and others look up.

"Where are you going?" ask Islam.

"Sholat" answered Sarifuddin briefly.

"Anjirt, I'm still hungry!" said Ali who immediately grabbed the plate whistled the date and then got up and ran along.
