LAILA TO KANG ROHIM
78 Laila's Softness

One afternoon, one of the students from Umi Laila came to see the teacher. His name is Lukman. He still sits in junior high school. Santri Kyai Rohim lowered his head. He was so superstitious to Umi Laila. Intentions want to meet Kyai Rohim. But Umi Laila's husband was attending a walimah invitation of one of her friends in the city.

"What's up Luk? Umi will convey. You've been here three times." Umi Laila said as she calmed the crying Mida.

But Furqon suddenly came and sat down next to his Ummah. The eldest child of the Umi Laila does not pay attention if there are guests or not. He was upset because when in class, he taught with his santri-santri Kyai Rohim who had reached the Qur'an. So it helps teach children who are TPQ.

"Mii... Masa', I'm being blamed for Ayu. Yesterday I saw Abi. Abi said the way I pronounce ." The protest of Furqon while opening his book.

Lukman still lowered his head. He did not dare to speak. Because adabnya. Despite his daily life, he often played with Furqon.

"Where to try Umi see and hear." Said Umi Laila who was still holding and patting Mida's back.

Furqon also pronounces the letter.

"Yo is right. Ayu Mbak did not understand until the stage like Abi. Where everyone is different. Ma'am Ayu loh, don't realize." Umi Laila.

"What Mi?" Ask Furqon.

"Later Umi said. Now, help Umi first. This is her sister waiting for you. Umi wants to talk to Mas Lukman." Laila.

Furqon followed Umi Laila into the house. He waited for Mida who fell asleep after being carried by Umi Laila. After leaving Mida with Furqon. Umi Laila rushed towards the terrace that is used to welcome guests who always come every day.

"So what's up Luk?" Ask Umi Laila.

Lukman is seen clutching his hand. A little down the sign he asked permission to convey his point.

"So look Mi, I'm confused again. My mom and dad asked me to stop. I was told to go to Java. He said there was better education. But I'm already comfortable here Mi. I'm confused." Lukman said in conveying his heartbreak.

Umi Laila smiled. He understands the sadness of the santri. The mother of Lukman is one of the most frequent santri protesting about her bed and eating problems. So it is natural that if the class increase is soon, it will be the process of Ms. Lukman moving her child to another boarding school.

"Luke... Your parents are meritorious. Without Mom and Dad. Lukman cannot be as healthy and intelligent as he is today. Even Islam has respect for parents." Laila.

Lukman still lowered his head. He squeezed the scabbard.

"But Islam also gives a place of respect to the teacher who has also educated us Mi. I'm stumped. I love and respect Abi. But if I refuse the wishes of Mom and Dad. I'm worried about being a bad boy." Lukman.

"If Abi hears this Bi... Really Abi managed to educate your santri Bi." Inner Laila.

Furqon's mother looked at Santrinya's face, who dared not look at her teacher's face if not allowed.

"Lukmann. Really with you go to the boarding house that your parents want. Then it's one of Umi and Abi's pride. Didn't you during this time, you weren't taught to stay away from your parents. Keep your parents feeling, son. If indeed he wants you to go to the boarding school that God willing is better than here." Obviously Laila on Lukman.

With his head down, Lukman again asked for the consideration of his teacher even though he had to obey the wishes of parents.

"Umi's. Father and mother have not yet determined the cottage. I asked Umi for advice for her boarding school. At least I set out to seek knowledge to another boarding school with the prayers and blessings of Umi and Abi." Lukman said slowly.

Back Umi Laila made salute. Such wise thinking from the Junior High boy. Which happiness of a teacher, in addition to seeing his students can have good morals.

Laila also gave some options for the santri who will leave for Java island because of the request of his parents.

One month after that. Lukman really went to Java. It's not Laila if you don't act motherly. He went to Lukman's house. One day before Lukman leaves. He gave an envelope to the man. On the teacher's return. How both of Lukman's parents were ashamed. The envelope was deliberately given Lukman to his mother. How shocked the mother when opening the envelope containing 500 thousand. When the price of rice is still 5 thousand and one kilo.

That's Laila. He knew that all the creatures on this earth always wanted to be loved. One of the forms of love that gives. Man will be so moved when given by the creature of God. But they forget who gives favors every day. Enjoy oxygen, enjoy healthy, enjoy family gatherings, enjoy still being able to worship quietly.

Laila gives 'sangu' or pocket money for Santrinya who will seek knowledge.it is a form of his love for the santri. He loved his manners so much. Even the deviant santri became a burden on Umi Furqon's mind.

"What's up Mi?" Abi Rohim asked as his wife appeared to be slacking off at night after the prayer.

"Crashstttt. Umi will tell me." Umi Laila said to the husband who turned out to be following the wife.

Rohim followed his wife who was thin near the wall of the mosque fence. One wall that connects the mosque building with the room or room Santriwati.

Umi Laila and Abi Rohim saw a veiled woman who also came out of the WC and sneaked. The woman in the hood is a prostitute in Kali Bening. But not 24 hours. He was only a hyacinth when from Maghrib time until the time of the dawn.

Laila was shaking with the wall. I really want him to approach Santriwati. Rohim forbids it.

"Wait first. Later first. Abi knows what Umi's thinking." Rohim.
