Islam Learning Fasting
80. Star and Sun

Islam laid his body on the bed and then let out a long sigh while staring at the ceiling of his room.

"Where are we from?" ask Sarifuddin.

"From Grandma's house."

"Are we taking it there?"

"Open the fast together" he replied.

"Well, what's the meal?"

"Well, what else do you eat?"

"Well, you know there's a chicken in there."

"No, there's only eggs with vegetables."

"Ah the side dish is the same as in the cottage."

Islam smiled and shook his head. There's-there's just this slanted guy.

"Eh but what about the proposal? I heard he said no, yeah?"

"There are also those who say that Ustad Rahman proposed to Khadijah."

Islam rounded his eyes to look at Sarifuddin who was silent waiting for an answer from him.

I don't know where Sarifuddin knew if Rahman had proposed to Khadijah.

"Well, where did you know?"

"From ustad Rahman."

"Si Rahman?"

Sarifuddin nodded.

"Rahman told me himself, so is this true?"

Islam sighed, he moved his body back to Sarifuddin.

"So right?" ask Sarifuddin.

"Silence lo!" he said with a cold tone.

Sarifuddin gulped his saliva. He quickly lay down and turned his back on Islam.

Now the atmosphere of the room became quiet without any more conversation between him and Islam.

"Islam!"

There's no answer.

"Is Islam asleep yet?"

Sarifuddin turned to look at Islam who now did not move one bit. He looked at the back of Islam.

"Islam! He said that if called on and not spoken, he could be mute."

Islam clenched his lips in annoyance then he immediately turned to look at Sarifuddin who immediately smiled.

"What the hell?" ask Islam with annoyance.

"What about Khadijah?"

The face of Islam is flat.

"If ustad Rahman is married to Khadijah, then Islam fails to have Khadijah's ukhti."

"So the sacrifices have been in vain?"

Islam grimaced while squeezing his head and ears that felt hot because of Sarifuddin's words.

It hurts so much the man with this slanted kiss.

"How's it?"

"Yahoo!!!" the cry of Islam who then rose from his bed made Sarifuddin quickly get up and sit on the edge of the mattress.

The upset Islam grabbed a pillow and bolster pillow made Sarifuddin gawk, especially when Islam stepped towards the door.

"Where are you going?" ask Sarifuddin.

"You're going to hell!!!" he shouted and then walked away.

Sarifuddin was silent as Islam closed the door.

"Then I'm not coming!!!"

There was no answer from outside.

"But if you want to go to heaven, I want to go!!! Islam!!!"

Still no answer.

"Islam!!! If you want to go to hell, you have to die!!!" his yell.

Islam opened the door violently making Sarifuddin gasped in shock.

"Whatever!!!" islam shouted with both eyes glaring.

Bruaks

Islam slammed the door again making Sarifuddin jerked.

...***...

Islam stepped emptyly through several tightly closed doors.

"Well, Islam?"

Islam turned to look at Shuaib who was seen stepping towards him while carrying bottles and iron.

"Why not sleep? Then why still wander while carrying a pillow like this?"

"Gue can't sleep because it's hot in the room" he replied lying.

"Where do you want to go?"

"Not knowing either. Where are you going?"

"Get the santri to sleep."

"That's why Islam."

"Could you?"

"Well, I can."

Five minutes later....

The sound of the door bangs sounded quite loud when Islam hit one by one door every santri who was surprised not playing. There were even some of them who had fallen asleep soundly instantly caught by surprise.

"Tiduuuuur!!!"

"Tiduuuur!!!" yelled Islam again while hitting the door.

Islam pushed the door to make the santri who were playing dominoes with shock turned his head.

"Well, what are you?!!! Sleeping spout!!!" his screams made the santri immediately run scattered and lay on their respective beds.

Islam put on a pretentious face makes the santri can only be silent stiff while pretending to sleep.

Islam stepped up and picked up the dominoes on the floor.

"Sleep you all!!!" his yell.

Islam closed the door loudly making the students in the room jerked in shock.

Islam hit the door again and he shouted. To be honest this shout was to voice his anger, annoyance and disappointment over what happened today.

Shuaib gawked in the back there while holding his head with both hands. It seems he was wrong after believing in Islam.

Just imagine the sound of Islam on the first floor can be heard to the top floor though.

The shadow!

...***...

Islam put his pillow on a wooden board that is used as a place to sleep while maintaining the security of the boarding school.

"Well, why don't you go back to the room?"

"Gue wants to sleep here."

"Now!" Islam throws dominoes on the board.

"Let's play."

Islam laid his head on the pillow until from here he could see the flickering stars that stretched over there.

Peaceful and cool atmosphere. Islam has never felt this kind of atmosphere in its entire life.

"You want coffee?" tawar Syuaib's.

"No."

"Why? Like just alcohol?"

Islam smiles cynically.

"The one here?"

"Astagfirullah, where there's sold in a place like this."

Islam smile. He took a deep breath and slowly exhaled.

"You want coffee?" haggling Syuaib again.

Islam looked at Shuaib sharply.

"You dead?"

Shuaib immediately fell silent and he gulped down his coffee and went to lie next to Islam.

"See what?"

"The sun."

"The sun?"

"Well stars, I know stars are still there."

Syuaib scratched his non-itchy head. I don't know why every Islamic answer makes it always KO.

The mood is now silent again. None of them spoke anymore.

"Why were stars created?"

Silence, no answer. Islam looked at Shuaib who looked silent.

"I'm the same as you!"

"Ana?"

"Well yes. Cepetan answer! Why were stars created?"

Shuaib was silent for a moment.

"To accompany a sad person, because the stars know. Sadness will be much more pronounced when night falls."

Huh, shit. It is like the state of the heart of Islam.

"Do you know the meaning of the stars, the moon and the sun?"

"No."

"They are like love."

"You mean?" islam does not understand.

"You are an earth and you are looking at a bright sky illuminated by the sun."

"Until you finally decide to be with him until finally night comes and the moon and stars are like a lack of a person who has sprung up a lot."

"But the earth will still survive because the earth knows there is a sun that has light to cover all the shortcomings so that the earth does not see the shortcomings anymore" he explained.

"It is like a rain."

"And after the rain there's not necessarily a rainbow, but at least there's a word redah."

"Let your body wet under the rain and enjoy the times when it comes."

"Because we don't know. Will it rain again?"

"Maybe it'll come but it's definitely not the same rain anymore."

"understand?"

Islam silent. He digested both the true words of Shuaib leaving him speechless for quite a long time.
