LAILA TO KANG ROHIM
EPISODE 25 Rohim Laughter

The sun is starting to get over your head. Rohim and Laila have been in an Serba Ada store. A store that sells complete household furniture in Sumber Sari village. There they'll buy a mattress.

When he arrived at the servant who knew Rohim, he greeted Rohim and Laila.

"Search what kang?" Ask the waiter who looks young.

"Find the bed." Rohim answered while looking at the stack of cotton mattresses arranged.

"Wh what size do you want?" Ask the waiter.

Rohim looked at Laila.

"If the 160x200 how much Mas?" Laila asked while holding a mattress with Teletubbies.

"Oh if that one is 500 thousand Mbak. Sorry if I could know. But who is Kang for?" ask the waiter who lives not far from the Nurul Iman mosque.

"Make me, plan later ba'da Dzuhur I return to Sumber Sari." Answer Rohim.

The servant looked a little bit frowned. One finger he put on his temple.

"Well, that was Kang Kidi and Bu Sri also came here. Buy a mattress too, he said to Kang Rohim." The servant said, moving his head.

"Really kang?" Ask Rohim not to believe.

"Yes kang. I was the one who delivered this morning. It was still early in the morning. In fact, I was asked to please take the board and wood at home Mr. Andang. He said he'd make a door." Clearly the waiter was with spirit.

Rohim looked at Laila.

"We go home first. Later if you can be sure he just came here again. If we buy it, Kang Kidi will buy it for us. Who will wear it?" Rohim asked Laila.

Laila agreed. Finally they did not buy a mattress at the Toseerba store. They also headed to the Nurul Iman Mosque. Arrived there right. There was already Mukidi who was busy with a saw and board in front of Rohim's house. Bu Sri was also seen drying the usual carpet in the living room.

Rohim and Laila said their greetings. Madam Sri approached. Laila kissed Bu Sri's hand with superstition.

"Yes Allah.... The boy was very polite. If I have a ghost like this, it's definitely not old fast. Ayem." Batin Bu Sri's.

"Him. I'm sorry I had to clean this whole bed with a new change of mother's carpet."

Rohim who was sitting next to Mukidi answered slowly.

"Well, it's troubling for Mom and Kang Kidi."

Laila sat on the terrace with Bu Sri.

"So it's true that you bought Mas Rohim a mattress?" Laila asked in a small voice. Rohim's wife was common in the cottage as a santri ndalem, so her voice would be barely audible when new people knew her.

"Courtesy?"

Laila nodded.

"Yes. I bought it intentionally. Mukidi said yesterday. Rohim had been friends with Kidi for a long time. Even almost every day it's the daughter of the mother who ndablek pol, always here. Ever since knowing Rohim, I'm glad that Kidi never played gambling, stole, now can even adhan, can wear sarong. It's all because of Rohim." Clearly Bu Sri while holding back her harrowing tears.

He recalled how difficult he was when Mukidi only worked gambling, eating, sleeping, smoking and not working. He must eat heart not only to see the behavior of Mukidi but the words of the neighbors who sometimes always insult his child in front of him. The heart of a mother who will not hurt when her child is ugly in front of her, even though the child is guilty.

Laila rubbed the back of Bu Sri's hand.

"Mom, Kang Rohim is just a friend. Just an ordinary man. Only God can turn a human heart. So if indeed the Kang Kidi is better now, of course it happens because there is God wants. Maybe one of them is your patience or your mother's prayer." Laila was obviously with her mother.

Although Laila actually knew, that Mukidi was getting guidance from God through a friend who turned out to be a teacher in his life. Because for those in the pesantren world, a science can be sought but a blessing of knowledge that can only be obtained from the ridhonya who have knowledge in this case a teacher.

As at this time without Mukidi knowing, he is serving a knowledgeable person or commonly called Ulama. Regardless Rohim is just a man who teaches teaching, who is just an ordinary person. But Rohim is the one who Istikomah lives his life to be a servant to the people who thirst for religious knowledge. Who need guidance to practice Islamic law.

Even the way Rohim preached in Sumber Sari was unique. When there is a hawak, he who is usually called Ustad, will sit playing the gaplek with other residents. So that the fathers who used to gamble or play the gaplek earlier, did not dare to use money. Moreover, when people gamble. Rohim sat behind him, as if he had not seen. He will be busy chatting and smoking with those who do not play gambling. But finally those who play gambling are actually embarrassed by themselves.

Even Mukidi once pricked those who like liquor when there was a big party in his village. At that time Rohim sat with young men who used to drink hard drinks, but when he saw Rohim there. One of them hid the drink. Nosy Mukidi, replace the contents of the drink with tea water. So Rohim went from there.

The young men were confused as to why their liquor water turned into tea. Since then the young men will not dare to buy drinks when there is Rohim. Because they will lose money and can not enjoy the illicit drink.

When Laila talked about everyday life, Bu Sri also told about her life. Laila asked how much money Bu Sri had spent to buy mattresses, sheets and boards as well as wood that was being made into doors by Mukidi.

"Wes Ndak neng. I'm Sincere. Let's just say it's a gift from mom and Mukidi on your wedding day." Bu Sri.

"Wooh yeah mostly Toh Ma'am." Answer Laila quietly.

"It's nothing. That's also idle money."

Rohim also helped Mukidi put nails on the board.

"This sample is kang, don't bother. Later the need until there is even a defeated..."

"Not kang. Anyway safe. The important thing is not to go anywhere. Sari's source has changed a lot, including me since I knew the sampeyan. If only this was how I could. But if told to lead read Al Barzanji yo I can not kang."

Rohim's distinctive smile also makes his dimples appear. Mukidi half whispered to Rohim.

"But I helped pray. Let's get her to replace Unet. Tomorrow night he's marrying loh kang."

Rohim laughed, though not. Rohim's laughter made Laila and Bu Sri turn towards the two men.

"Hehehe..."

He hugged Mukidi.

"Pantes hit his hammer hard. Again upset because of the abandonment of Marriage anyway... Hehe...."

Unknowingly Rohim. The wife was looking at them.

"What a beautiful friendship. I don't know why this Kang Kidi figure reminds me of Nu'aiman bin Amru bin Rafa'a."

Nu’aiman bin Amru bin Rafa’a is a very funny friend of Prophet Muhammad, Silly, gokil. He often made the apostle laugh.

There was Nu'aiman's behavior that made the friends laugh, even sometimes Nu'aiman was so nosy that it made people resentful. Even the friend of Ustman bin Affan was once a victim of ignorance from Nu'aiman.

While praying, he was beaten by a blind man because the blind man was lying to Nu'aiman. Though the blind man was looking for Nu'aiman because he was annoyed many times in lied to by Nu'aiman.

So do not be surprised if there are santri or even class Kyai who are usually guyon, or humor. Because in Islam it is not forbidden to laugh or give jokes that do not hurt others. Like Mukidi who always makes Rohim laugh with his silly behavior.
