Three more days will be Eid al-Fitr. Laila is making banana chips for the contents of the jar to welcome some guests he will also give to Abah Ucup and Waroh.
Ayu and Lulu come back not wanting to go home. When their father picked them up, they begged to stay at the cottage. They love Umi Laila. Can't afford to be spread out in their homes while Umi Laila in the cottage only four with her children. Abi Rohim is still in Java, taking sanad from a great kyai who held a sanadan book that can facilitate the santri read us yellow, interpret the Qur'an even words.
Suddenly the phone rings. The machine's hand peels the young lady's banana, making Lulu rush to pick up the cell phone in Umi Laila's room. If anyone is considered to make every eye amazed by the results of Umi Laila's upbringing is how there is their first santri. Lulu hands over the phone while walking on her knees. Dare not lift his face. He did not dare to look at his teacher. Not out of fear, that's what he did according to what he learned from one of the books that Umi Laila had taught.
"On the push of the green button Nduk." Pinta Laila.
After Lulu presses the green button the sign receives a call that turns out to be from Abi Rohim. Lulu's right hand pressed against Umi Laila's ear.
"Walaikumsalam" said Laila welcomed greetings from her husband who was studying for 40 days.
"How are you doing Mi?" Abi Rohim.
"Thank you healthy. Your wedok son no one wants to go home this Bi. Yesterday when he was picked up by his father." Goda Umi Laila looked at Ayu who was also peeling a banana and sitting by her side.
"Thank God also love them because of their love for their Master. Hopefully the science you give can be their provision in the future." Rohim prayer for the two students who always help the wife in completing all kitchen matters even sometimes help the wife to take care of her children when many guests come but Alya or Mida look fussy.
The couple was also engaged in a conversation as usual. Abi Rohim shared the story on the sidelines of his break. Abi Rohim was so impressed with his teacher. Kyai Dori, where the kyai often talk about many things for his Santri-santri who come from various parts of the Fatherland.
"Mi, this is Abah Yai asking us now to try to have a paper. The goal is to strengthen a science and provide scientific benefits Mi. We are asked to hurry. Because Abah Yai dawuh, we are being surrounded by irresponsible streams. Understanding that deviates from the laws of Sharia. We are surrounded by those who on behalf of the Sunnah but end up forgiving brothers and sisters even justify d@rah brothers themselves. Naudzubil..." Said Rohim stopped because Laila can make sure her husband will catch his breath or just enjoy his cigarettes.
"We mean we have a paper and we input it to the blog, web or BI link?" Ask Laila.
"Yes Mi. God willing barokah and the benefits of Mi. It was a long time ago, it was almost in again. May Umi and the children be in good condition and fulfilled every need." Rohim.
Laila answered her husband's greetings. She is not a woman who is educated to feel insecure when her husband does not return home. His life was intended to be a servant of the seeker of knowledge. For Santri-santrinya. Go the husband to demand knowledge so that the santri easy to learn. To make him remain a wife, child, mother and teacher who shows that he has a responsibility.
So almost a month he sold clothes, mukenah and these weeks he made a variety of foods for the contents of a jar of Lebaran. He went around selling his merchandise. His advantage he used for daily needs with his 3 children and two students who loved him so much.
Lulu looks to wait for Alya and Furqon to play in a place not far from Umi Laila peeling a banana. Umi Laila always took advantage of times like this that made the two girls feel only when the cottage was empty like this. His teacher's science flows like water from a waterfall.
"You know why Imam Shafi'i Madzhab can spread across the world." Tanya Umi Laila was still staring at the banana in her hand and alternated towards Lulu and Ayu.
Two of his students were still down. They did not know and remained superstitious not daring to look at their Master. Only in pesantren who study the yellow book that usually has adab-adab like this. If in modern pesantren it may have been rare to find students like Lulu and Ayu.
"That is because Imam Shafii was serious in seeking knowledge and imparting knowledge to his santri. He is even, one of the most prolific Imams of his written works and his santri." Umi Laila.
This method is actually without Umi Laila realizing it makes Ayu and Lulu feel lost if they go home. In their existing homes finally berleha-leha because no one watches as Umi Laila, the practices given will be done carelessly if you go home. Not to mention they will miss the moment Umi Laila told a lot of things that contain knowledge.
"The Shafi'i priest's patron average has a written work. The shafi'i madhhab has spread throughout the world. And this just now, Abi told us the students to rise up, reduce sleep.Abi just asked to make a paper on the sidelines of his teaching. Now santri is required not only to be a loyal listener. Don't sleep just. Well Umi asked you also at least make small notes. The science you consider important. Who knows if it will be necessary when you are not here anymore. Understand Nggih?" Umi Laila.
"Register Mi..." Say two brothers at the same time.
So do not be surprised if Lulu, Ayu, even until later the children of Munir and Nuaima have a small record of every science they get from Umi Laila and Abi Rohim.
Laila also asked Furqon to take a banana cutting tool to make it thin. The child obediently rushed to pick up a tool made of wood and there was a sharp knife in the middle.
Education Strata one Umi Laila actually already know if they Santri should try to have a paper. But because busy with activities in the cottage also take care of children and undergo the struggle to educate students and boarding school Kali Bening, making Umi Laila time he did not have to write. She has great respect for her husband, even though he is smarter than her husband. Never was she smart enough to break the husband's talk.
And that's what actually makes Rohim so calm living a household that may not be in general. Since they have a cottage, there is hardly even time to be alone. Only night or noon would be the time for the two of them to share their stories together.
It is fortunate to be Umi Laila and Abi Rohim because the Prophet once said there will be 3 things that will not be interrupted. First, the grim. Second, the knowledge that is used for many people. Third, have a son Sholeh who wants to pray for his parents. And they have also done all three things.
When the new will put the banana that has been peeled and soaked with soda water, suddenly heard greetings from the outside.
"Assalamu'alaikum's chat....."
