LAILA TO KANG ROHIM
EPISODE 60 The Cry of the Priest

That morning the curious Imam deliberately pretended to allow the hoe behind the residence of Rohim and the princess santri. He was with several other sons. But his eyes glanced at the princess who was also cooking and accompanied by Laila. He wondered if Laila was really what Ayu and Lulu had said. Later in the night there will be a Maulid event of the Prophet. The event held one sub-district.

The event was held quite large because in front of the Nurul iman mosque was given a stage and tent to accommodate the Jama'ah who would come from many villages. The priest occasionally glanced at Laila. When there is a santri who says that there are guests or people who help pair the tent. So Laila rushed to prepare tea or coffee. Of course he uses jars that are on the bottom shelf.

And before long Alya who is the second child Laila whines asking to make tea. Laila put the knife down. He made tests for his daughter. And the jar used by Laila there is a jar that is on the top shelf.

"Ckckckl.... Very carefully he ensured every food that entered the body of his children." Inner Priest.

It didn't even get there. The next day the priest was made to shake his head. Laila that will coconut milk ketella leaves or cassava leaves. He went to the residence of Mr. Toha who was the chairman of the event committee yesterday. He intends to replace the coconut that there are five grains. The rest to cook rice wrap to welcome the pilgrims yesterday.

And of course it was rejected by Mr. Toha.

"Kok ndadak permit toh Neng. That wong was bought there. Just wear. Wong the rest too." Said Mr. Toha's Wife.

"Yes Ndak so Mom. That was yesterday the money of the donors for the success of the maulid event yesterday. His commitment for yesterday's event, if yesterday the rest of the food I dare to eat with the students. Lah if this is different the goods were bought from the money he agreed to for the Maulid event. I dare not wear it." Obviously Laila.

Indeed, Mr. Toha is increasingly amazed by the personality of a pair of njai teachers and also the owner of the Kali Bening cottage. If for others, maybe the coconut has been used to cook without thinking that far. Laila was very careful. He took care of what his children ate and his students.

Because for Laila to keep the halal food eaten for the family is her job. And for the source it is the duty of the husband. Especially money that has been involved by many people. Will make Rohim's wife dare not in the least to be used for her own purposes.

It has not been more than a month that the Imam has lived there. He also said goodbye to Rohim. He returned to the city because he wanted to go there for only a month. But because of the rainy day. No cars from the village left for the city. He delayed his departure the next day.

The rain was quite heavy. Even at night, Kali Bening is still rained even though it is not as hard as the rain last night. The priest who felt he only had a sarong, still felt cold. He eventually went to the mosque. He is looking for a carpet or ambal that is commonly used for the submission of mothers.

And he saw the green carpet in the corner of the pulpit. He wrapped his body into the carpet and leaned his body on the pulpit. Without the Imam knowing someone had just entered the mosque. When all the residents of the boarding school were asleep, even the citizens of Kali Bening were already in the dream because of the cold of the night.

It is customary for the Nurul Iman Mosque master to always give Surah Al Fatihah to the dead scholars and teachers. His parents. The voice of Rohim was faintly heard in the ears of the Imam.

"Ila hadlrotin Nabihiyil Musthofa Rosulillahi Sollallahu ‘Alayhi Wasallam wa ’ala alihi wa asabihi kulluhum ajma’in wat tabi’in wat tabi’in tabi, wa man tabi’ahum bi-ihsanin ila yaumiddin, wal ‘ulamail ‘amilin, wa man, wal mushonnifinal mukhlashin, wal mujahidina fisabilillahi robbil’alamin, wal angelil muqorrobin, khushushon ila sultahoni awliya’ Sayyidina Shaykh ‘Abdil Qodir Al Jilany rodliyallahu ‘anhu..

Tsumma khushoshon ila hadlroti........."

He mentioned one by one the names of his teachers even there is the name Kyai sepuh who also used to work for Sumber Sari village which has now changed its name to Kali Bening.

"Wa ila jami'i muassis wa masyayyikh para Ulama kulluhum ajma'in alladzi lam yadzkur ismuhum wa zawjatihim, wa guru baytihim, wa dzurriyatihim, wa silsilatihim, wa furu’ihim, wa pupilihim, wa muhibbihim syaiul lillahi lana walahum Alfatihah.."

For a moment there was no sound from Rohim. The priest was ashamed. He is actually the son of one of Kyai in a town. He who was mumps when he felt it was long enough and finished. Intend to go home. He has not received permission from his teacher. He was asked by the teacher to go to Kali Bening Village. And that night he again got an answer from what his teacher ordered. He has always been smart, indeed smart to read the books taught by his teacher. It turns out that after getting to know Rohim and Laila.

He just found out, he did not have adab, Love for Teacher, Love that is not just on the lips. But also in the heart. Because he heard how Rohim shook his voice when he sent Al Fatihah's gifts to his teachers. Rohim who is gentle. He was always very careful in his attitude. Laila is always careful in maintaining the halal food for her students.

What a beautiful character of the educator. Rohim and Laila are only trying to give their knowledge. And entrust the affairs of the intellect of the disciple to God. Laila who might give firmness to the santri when the santri is negligent in the obligation. If Laila to scold or punish her santri. Then it can be ascertained if the santri make a mistake that will make them sin. And Laila's gonna be a little hard on her protege.

So the Imam also felt that if all this time he was always punished by his teacher. He realized, he who often underestimated the prayer then it made his teacher angry. He who has not been able to make his own money continues to smoke so strongly. So that the act of stealing naughty to buy cigarettes. And of course it will lead to sins.

He was crying in silence. He realized that if his Master had punished him, he would have made a mistake. But sometimes there are some parents who do not accept their children are hurt or in the law even though every teacher has a different way of educating. It is likened to 'Head off the Oxtail In the grasp' that most parents now. Unable to educate children and put in pesantren but when children are taught a little hard. Feeling unaccepted, protesting here and there. Disgusting the teacher of the child here and there. Without them realizing that their actions as parents make science itself does not want to get close to their children because of the attitudes and actions of parents.

But the tears of the man covered in carpet flowed. When almost an hour or so Rohim finished with the activity he so often did, He prayed in a soft voice. The voice can be heard clearly by the Imam.

"Yes Allah... I beg for forgiveness for every serf. O Allah is the All-Giver, I beg you to impart intelligence to every santri. Indeed, I can only provide knowledge from the Prophet, but to educate my students. Only You are the Giver. O Allah, protect this village from all disasters. Give convenience to every citizen of Kali Bening live this life. And give me and my wife the patience to teach the sciences that will be the provision of my students."
