Islam Learning Fasting
71. Vidio Call

Islam laughed and scratched behind his non-itchy ears. Not only was he laughing but his Abi as well.

"Assalamu'alaikum" said Abah Habib who then appeared while carrying his cellphone.

Khadijah quickly got up from his chair and stepped back to put some distance between him and Islam.

Everyone returned greetings with a tense face especially with Akbar, the problem is he who let Khadijah feed Islam.

"Have been here long?"

"Would go out, Abah. Excuse me first, Assalamu'alaikum," he said and then stepped out.

"Waalaikumsalam," replied Abah Habib smilingly staring at Khadijah's departure while Islam snorted in annoyance, this old man interrupted the beautiful moment.

"Islam!" call Abah Habib as he steps closer to Islam with his hand that thrusts the old cell phone.

Islam scrunched his forehead staring at the phone like a rifle.

"Why?"

"There was a call from the Rose" he answered, making Islam quickly grab it and bring it closer to the ear.

"Islamic." The voice from the sebrang was heard, it was Umi's voice.

"Umi, Islam is sick, Umi" Islam is like a child with a look on his face that wants to cry.

"What is Islam sick?" ask Roses with a soft tone of voice, a voice that is very much missed Islam.

"Islam's head hurts, the bones of Islam, the feet of Islam, the hands of Islam...."

"Ah spoiled this time the child," said Syuaib who was at the door.

Hearing that Akbar glanced at Syuaib who apparently was not aware with that gaze.

"Heh, ana's child," said Akbar.

"Everybody is sick, Umi," continued Islam.

"Islam has taken medicine?"

"Not yet, Islam has just woken up, Um."

"Then eat first and then take medicine."

"Yes, Umi."

Islam occasionally laughs when he can speak at length with the Rose. A year after almost a month the two did not meet.

Wherever a child goes, and for as long as it is, the mother is still a place to complain.

Look now Islam even tells of what happened in the pesantren of him who went to the market, ran away from the cottage, cooked in the kitchen and was chased by dogs.

There was an occasional laugh that escaped the mouth of Islam after telling it while Akbar could only smile at their conversation.

Abah Habib's phone was turned off after the conversation ended with a greeting.

"This is the phone," said Islam while sticking out the old phone even the button has been outdated.

Abah Habib grabbed it with a smile.

"Over long, yeah. Maybe the pulse is over," said Abah Habib who then stared at all parts of his phone.

Islam blinks his lips. Counting this old man.

"This is missing already the button is one!" Point Abah Habib at the bottom of the phone button that has been empty.

Islam lowered his head and grabbed the button of the fence that was on top of his blanket.

"This is it" said Islam while sticking it out.

"That's a cell phone button or position, it's very easy to remove," said Syuaib make Islam laugh.

"It's okay that it matters a lot. Hows it? Happy to hear the Rose?"

"Yes, but not exciting because I can not see the face of Umi."

Abah Habib frowned in wonder, he turned to look at Akbar and Shuaib who also did not understand.

"Can you see your face on the phone?" ask Abah Habib.

"Can."

"How?"

"Where is my phone? I'll tell you later," he explained.

Abah Habib nodded then he opened the closet and grabbed an Islamic cell phone.

"It." Overhung.

Islam smiled as he greeted his cellphone which he had not touched for a long time.

Ah, cellphone! Howareyou?

Islam frowns wonder, how can a cellphone that has been stored so long it still has a lot of battery.

"Who often uses my cell phone?" ask Islam who looks suspiciously at Abah Habib.

"No, just Abah often chas later lobet," he explained to make Islam nod.

Islam then smiled and then contacted three friends who he really missed, well who else if not Christian, Abirama and Ali.

He hadn't seen them in a long time.

Rang, well his three best friends were ringing.

Abah Habib and Shuaib stepped closer to Islam with their faces looking very serious staring at the surface of the phone screen belonging to Islam.

Islam laughs.

"Yes, yes" answered Islam.

"Could Abah be there?"

"There's a camera."

Abah Habib who heard that quickly stared at his old cell phone.

"Why isn't there a camera?"

"Different pak haji kiyai, this is an ancient phone and that's what now if we want to buy in the city but buyin ana as well," explained Syuaib while pointing.

"Search for antum opportunities" said Akbar.

"Hay guys," said Kristian, waving.

"Eh antum!" Show Abah Habib with his happy face.

"Assalamu'alaikum, haji kiyai sir," said Kristian.

"Waalaukumsalam, how's it going?"

"Praise God."

"Whose god?" shuaib asked with an innocent face.

Abah Habib, Akbar and Islam immediately turned to look at Shuaib who was quickly bowed.

"Eh, Ram!" greet Islam when Abirama has raised the vidio call.

Abirama smiled then waved his hand to make Abah Habib wave his hand right in front of the camera .

"Don't come near! His hands did not look, retreat a little!" tegur Islam's.

"This?"

"Well," said Islam after Abah Habib reverted his hand.

"Still in the pesantren?" ask Abirama.

"Yes, yeah."

"Good, diligent study" said Abirama who was seen stepping towards the road while occasionally looking down at the camera.

"Where is Lo, anyway?" ask Islam.

"It's busy" said Kristian.

"Enak. I still mending lift well that Ali did not lift the vidio call," protested Abirama.

Soon Ali's camera began to light up making Islam, Christianity and shouting compactly.

"Eh Dog!!!" ali shouted as he waved his middle finger.

"Eh motherfucker!!! You goblok," said Islam.

"Astaghfirullah" said Abah Habib, Akbar and Shuaib.

The smile of Islam disappeared from his lips. Islam forgets that there are them here.

"Eh sir haji kiyai! This in itself forgets me back," said Ali while lifting the sandal belonging to Abah Habib.

"Oh yes, it is Abah's sandal that has been lost. Where's antum?"

"It can't be, the person he helped" Islam said and laughed.

"Wah anjirt lu. Jan believes the hajj sir! I just borrowed his intention to go back but forgetfulness got home," explained Ali.

Abah Habib laughed while nodding.

"It's okay, just take it! It's a gift from Abah that's important to use in the way of goodness."

"What good road? Jelan perverted that Ali," said Islam.

"What false path?" abah Habib did not understand.

"It was always used to steal," joked Islam who then laughed to see Abah habib who looked shocked.

"Astagfirullah, Jan used to steal! Later in hell his hands are cut off, will you?"

"Cut by who?"

"Just like Zabaniah, that's the name of the angels who are in charge of torturing and cutting off the hand of the person who likes to steal."

"Well that's all that matters is not to mess around," said Ali made Islam, Christianity and Abirama laugh giggling.

Abah Habib who shook his head did not expect it to turn after Sarifuddin came and whispered something to the ears of Abah Habib who immediately nodded.

"Excuse me first, there's a little need."

Abah Habib then stepped away along with Akbar and Shuaib.

"Eh, Din! Here lo! This is Kristian, Abirama and Ali, "call Islam make Sarifuddin smile and immediately go up to the bed.

"There's Sarifuddin?" ask Kristian.

"Assalamualaikum," said Sarifuddin while smiling his trademark.

"Eh anjirt! Still alive lo?!!" ali shouted making Sarifuddin's smile disappear.
