LAILA TO KANG ROHIM

LAILA TO KANG ROHIM
Chapter 87 The Legacy of Umi Laila will Santrinya


Abi Rohim's cell phone rang. The owner of the phone was receiving guests. Umi Laila who saw the call number came from the Pesantren Cottage Caretaker where Furqon mondok. Umi Laila received the call. A report from the island of Java, Furqon was taken to the hospital.


Eldest Umi Laila was treated for high fever and almost all of his body there are scabs or scabies. Even at the bottom of his two armpits there are boils. Umi Laila also discussed with Abi Rohim. Who will go to Java. Because they can't leave everything.


"Just let Bi go. Ayra and Rahmi can't stay. Nor is it possible." Umi Laila replied when Abi Rohim asked for his opinion.


Finally the couple agreed, Abi Rohim who was going to Java. But at night when Umi Laila prepares clothes to be put in a bag. Ayu came and knocked on the door of the front room of her teacher's residence. Only a few santri and santriwati dared to go in and out of the humble Umi Laila residence. They are students who are happy to help Umi Laila when finished the process of teaching in the kitchen. So they are used to saying ndalem if in a boarding school that has grown up.


With his head bowed and both right hands clutching the left palm, Ayu made her point when Umi Laila was present before him.


"Umi, kulo wonten at home." Ayu said without daring to raise her head.


{Umi I no need.}


"Wonten called Nduk?"


{What do you need, nak?}


Ask Umi Laila while sitting down. He sent Ayra down from his carrier. Umi Laila's youngest looks less healthy. His body was covered with smallpox which was quite a lot all over his body. Lucky not watery. But the daughter of the late Nuaima was more spoiled than usual. He did not want to go far from Umi Laila.


"Benjing, father and mother ajeng mriki . Kulo badhe intentions college, Mi. kulo ajeng possibility college wonten kitha." Ayu replied in a voice so softly. If the person sitting within 3 meters might not hear his voice.


{Tomorrow, father and mother will be here. I want to go to college. Chances are I will be studying in kota}


Umi Laila was slightly pensive to hear it. Not Umi Laila is not happy her protege will be 'boyong' (return forever home from the boarding school). However, he was worried because Ayu was his first santri. It has been minted up to Juz 25. When asked if the city will go down. Ayu also replied 'no'.


"Kenging punapa mboten lecture wonten the capital of our district mawon?" Ask Umi Laila.


{Why not go to college in the capital of our district? }


{I am on the scholarship track unable, Mi. Worried about going with the public, my father and mother could not afford to pay.}


Umi Laila looks mangosteen. He was aware of the economic conditions of the old Ayu and Lulu. They're just farm laborers. So Umi Laila was only able to say something that made Ayu hold back her tears.


"Sayang sanget menawi mangke wonten ngrika mboten mondok. Umi kuwatos apalan Njengan, Nduk. wonten side menika umi salami menika rumaos Njengan kathah ngrencangi umi lebet mucal and mucal santri nggal's sisters." Say Umi Laila again.


{It's a pity that later there is no mondok. Umi's worried about your shipment son. In addition, Umi has always felt that you helped Umi a lot in educating and teaching new santri sisters. But there is all time. Nanging as power estu wonten wekdalipun.}


Umi Laila also told Abi Rohim about the news that Ayu will be picked up by his parents in the next few days. Abi Rohim went to Java to visit Furqon. And the news of Furqon's health again makes Umi Laila and Abi Rohim always looking for benefits for others.


"Mi, Furqon is probably Abi boyong all of you." Abi Rohim. Laila could not ask anything. She understood her husband. He will not tell about things that can increase his worry. He was only able to pray and read Al Fatihah which he specifically for his son Furqon who was given a sick test when he was only about a year old.


When Umi Laila had just received a call from Abi Rohim, Ayu's parents who had just arrived at Kali Bening this afternoon, met Umi Laila. It turns out that both of his parents Ayu preferred Ayu to go to college while attending Kali Bening. However, they object to paying scholarships offered to high-achieving children whose systems are paid twice and graduated until Graduation.


"Saleresipun kala-wingi dipunajengaken kalih option, Umi. Ingkang pertami matrimony college wonten kitha lan ingkang even college scholarship ugi nanging wonten district capital. Nanging us mboten sagah . Lan system beastiswanipun estu kaping kalih pay." Obviously Ayu's parents.


{Actually we were yesterday faced with two choices of Umi. the first is a college offer in the city and the other is a college scholarship as well but in the district capital. But we couldn't afford the cost. And the scholarship system is twice pay.}


Actually Ayu also got a cadre scholarship from one of the organizations. But the first cost when going to college is quite large. Different from the capital city of Jakarta. Can be taken until graduation. Graduation costs 12 million to graduation to be paid twice during the year. Make ayu parents prefer their children to take the ones in the capital Jakarta.


With the reason Ayu can live with his relatives in the city. Umi Laila was waiting for Abi Rohim to come home first. Though Umi Laila doubted her protege to go to the capital of Jakarta. Like the word fruit, Ayu is a fruit that from a small seeded by Umi Laila until now it is almost ripe. Just waiting to mature, too bad if it falls in a bad place. His courtesy, the usefulness of his science, his ethical character that he knew was not ready if he had to go to a big city.


Abi Rohim returns with Furqon. Umi Laila's heart must be strengthened to see the condition of her eldest son.


"Innalady.... Astarghfirullah.... How did yesterday on the phone say it's okay, kid?" Umi Laila asked, holding back her tears from falling in front of her son.
