LAILA TO KANG ROHIM
Chapter 93 Khidmah

Umi Laila also pulled a chair in the kitchen which used to be her room. He sat staring at the scratched writing using a charcoal. The couple stared at the writing that had been worn out by time. Suddenly one of the santri came to say if there are guests who want to meet Kyai Rohim.

“Wonten dhayoh ingkang kajeng yai.” Said the santri.

Kyai Rohim invites his wife to meet his guests. These two days, clear times suddenly crowded. One morning a couple of cars came to see Kyai Rohim. The man said he had bought the land from someone. He also said that in the next month, Kyai Rohim must leave the location. Because he's going to build a shopping mall. It certainly surprised Kyai Rohim and the families of all pilgrims. So that all worshipers gather to find what really happened. It turns out that when the land was granted, the land was indeed given for the construction of a mosque not a boarding school. And what makes it strange, the two in-laws of Toha sir, used to grant the land not with his administration. Only verbally. The land letter is still in the hands of Mr. Toha.

It was a shock for Mr. Toha when he found out, one of his sons who ran away from home sold the land letter also into the hands of loan sharks. And stupidly again, there is the name of his wife as an heir. So now, Mr. Toha also sought his existence. Mukidi, a friend also became one of the witnesses as an Ahmad Rohim, a man who used to only come to follow his elder brother because there was a request from local scholars, just to teach teaching, actually now has a lot of santri and is so respected by many people.

Mukidi kisses the back of Kyai Rohim's hand, but is quickly pulled by Kyai Rohim. If you used to feel entertained because you can laugh, Mukidi said. In front of Kang Kidi. Furqon's father looked with watery eyes telling her the contents of his heart.

“If I am aware of kang, this is not ours. After all, we only take care of what the congregation entrusts to us. But my wife, sampeyan knows himself kang. How he got here in the beginning. Even a used butut mattress thrown in a cow pen was the first thing that greeted him in our room. Moreover, his memory will be every hard and happy while with the santri.” Kyai Rohim.

Kang Kidi who has now become a rich man, he has a lot of effort. Youtube content is also flowing, wife who also became one of the officials in one of the ministries made him want to give his land to Kyai Rohim. It has almost 10 hectares of land in South Sulawesi. He wanted to give the land to Kyai Rohim. Development problems, later can be done gradually. He had just spent a lot of money to open a business and buy some property in Australia because his son was studying in the country. So that he does not have money or borrow a bank to help his friend and teacher.

“Not the place of the kang, the building, but the memories…. It is heavy to be separated from this place.” Said Umi Laila who came with one of the santri ndalem who brought drinks.

Kang Kidi could see such a deep sadness on Umi Laila's face.

“Pak Toha is already in search Bi?” Ask Kang Kidi.

“Already, the day after he came here. His son, Rendra, sold some land letters and his garden. He did not expect if it was sold to loan shark.” Kyai Rohim.

“Then to replace the cost they used to spend? We buy again meaning Bi.”Ask Kang Kidi.

“Me and the congregation have tried to mediate kang, he asked 2M if he wanted to return it. We can't afford.” Kyai Rohim.

“Location is indeed strategic, not to mention now it is the capital of the district.” Kang Mukidi's. That day also Kang Mukidi gathered all old friends and worshipers who used to follow the assembly that was taken care of by Kyai Rohim.

“There is still two weeks. We're all moving. Whatever the outcome, we meet again one week later. We'll see less. I will also try my best.” Kang Mukidi said to everyone present. There were many pilgrims present, from the maulid synthuduror congregation, the bakib al haddad assembly, several organizations led by Kyai Rohim and Umi Laila. As well as alumni of Kali Bening who have just several generations.

When the time has been set, everyone gathers again. During the past two weeks, they held an open donation. Social media makes information spread quickly. Many who send help to Mukidi's account are also some people who are looking for funds. Once collected, they were only able to stop at 1.6 M. So inevitably Kyai Rohim must leave a place that has a million memories of his struggle, from just setting foot in that place to now have hundreds of students. Kyai Rohim and family are ready. Even all the santri have been picked up by the parents of the santri guardians. Until the evening, the family Kyai rohim sat in the kitchen, a favorite place of Kyai Rohim and Umi Laila while accompanying her husband rested when returning from teaching njai.

“Before there, Abi while holding Furqon or Alya, will sit there. Peeling young papaya or cleaning shoots or young jackfruit for patching. There are so many memories that I will miss later. Every corner of this place has its own memories.” Remember Umi Laila.

Umi Laila never imagined setting up a boarding school cottage let alone until called ‘Bu Nyai’. He only focused on finding knowledge while still studying at the boarding school. Manut teacher, manut old man. Manut guru, because he during his time as a ndalem servant is a santri who always accompany his Nyai Bu in the kitchen when all the santri may have fallen asleep. He even took care of Bu Nyai's daughter while his wife was filling out a study. He was a fickle child, obviously while still in the cottage, he was once proposed by Kyai's son. But because his father first received Rohim, then he died. Because of the consideration of Abah Ucup at that time, the character of the man who proposed to his daughter was not property, good looks or position. But now, Umi Laila who from her youth is not busy chasing the world. As the age begins to age, the world pursues itself.

Wait for every difficulty there is ease, wait for every problem there is a silver lining. As at this time, Allah gave wisdom to Ahmad Rohim and Umi Laila. Those who live in pesantren but never feel entitled to the place and building. Because the land agreement they occupy is a grant for the mosque nurul iman not for pesantren Kali Bening. During this time, Umi Laila and Kyai Rohim were not busy with going to and fro to make the boarding building look magnificent.

They focus more on serving the community and their students to really have useful and noble knowledge. So if the current building of Kali Bening ponpes is much different from decades ago, that is because the pilgrims are also santri guardians who intend to build or add spaces for students who continue to grow every year from outside the area and even outside the province. It is not because Kyai Rohim is busy submitting proposals to governments or organizations.

Ayra who just came home late from her usual time. He sat on the side of Umi Laila.

“It's ready all your stuff, Nduk. We're just waiting for you. Furqon had already brought Rahmi and Mida's belongings. Stay your stuff.” Said Umi Laila who had been waiting for the youngest to come home from taking a diploma.

Ayra sat down in front of Umi Laila, holding a bankbook and an ATM as well. He placed it on both knees Umi Laila.

One day, Nuaima and Munir's daughter took care of her savings. Last month, the deposit was due. So that everything collected from the deposit money that has been disbursed and some savings that were once left by both parents Ayra, and, collected more or less can cover the shortage to take back ownership of the land grants.

Umi Laila opened the savings book. He looked at the number, and handed the book over to Kyai Rohim.

Kyai Rohim did not budge, he handed the book and ATM back to Kyai Rohim.

“This is your saving Ra, for your future. This is the legacy of your parents. We can build a new building in a new place of money that has now been collected by Jamaat and friends.” Kyai Rohim handed the book to Ayra.

“Not only Abi, Umi who has memories in this place. But Ayra, Abi and Umi's children and Kali Bening alumni have the same memories. Although all Ayra's property, Ayra handed it to Umi and Abi, unable to repay Abi and Umi. As a parent and teacher for Ayra.” Pinta Ayra on both her parents, her cheeks had been wet by the warm grains.

All of Kyai Rohim's children were moved by the event, sitting down in front of Kyai Rohim and Umi Laila. Umi Laila hugged a niece who she considered a child for giving ASI to her and caring for her until now a beautiful and smart girl.

“Then what about your ideals Nduk?” Ask Umi Laila.

“Lantas how you will go to college, you said you want to be a doctor.” Kyai Rohim.

“Abi and Umi teach us, children and students Abi and Umi. That many stories where people or in the days of the prophet, get glory just for serving his teacher. Let Umi's children and also Umi's students serve their teachers and help ease the burden on both parents Ayra.” Ayra.

Umi Laila hugs Ayra's body, she rubs Ayra's head. Ayra just thought, depleted the treasure still for her parents is better than for a maxiat. He really wanted to go to medical school. But that's okay, he can still take on other fields. He likes in economics, then the subjects he can later choose for his future.

'Not necessarily if the money that Mom and Dad left for me can I use without escaping from the motions. Hopefully, my parents will be happy as happy as Umi and Abi' Batin Ayra while tightening their arms to Umu Laila.

Ayra really wanted to serve her teacher. If the three daughters of Umi Laila go to another boarding school. He and Furqon were nurtured and self-taught by Kyai Rohim and Umi Laila.

Ayra is conscious, even though she is intelligent. But the intelligence he gained, perhaps thanks to the prayers and the pleasure of his teacher. And guidance from teachers and their parents. Ayra knows that serving there are three ways. First serve bin nafs or with physical or exertion. This is usually done santri at the boarding school. Usually santri come in ndalem or kiai residence to help with household chores kiai or cottage. Commonly known as santri ‘ndalem’.

There are also baisa in the call bil mal or with treasure. There used to be many Kyai-kyai who lodged people who were not relatives. This is like what Ahmad Rohim did when he started pioneering his boarding school, he and his wife sent orphans to school and also helped Ayu and Lulu to school. Even Ayu was delivered by Umi Laila to win the S1 title.

There is also biddu'a or with prayer.

“How Ayra will serve with prayer, if zhohir, inner and treasure Ayra have not Ayra solemnized for Umi, Abi.” Ayra.

The atmosphere of Umi Laila residence was filled with sobs. Umi Laila's chest even felt tight.

From that day on, Kali Bening stood on the land that was given to Kyai Rohim. At the proposal of Kang Mukidi for the grant to be handed over to Kyai Rohim. Not in the name of the mosque or the name of the Kali Bening foundation.

“If in the name of the mosque, imagine almost decades of this boarding school side by side with the mosque. Not once did I feel, Umi Laila took the coconut fruit that grows in the soil of this mosque. Even for the end of the event, he bought coconuts. Not dare to use coconuts that are clearly fruitful on the ground of the mosque. Especially for his personal needs." Pinta Mukidi to the worshippers present when will grant the land that has just been bought back from Rentenir.

All the worshippers agreed, that night. The land was given to Kyai Rohim. During this time, a lot of help from organizations or governments want to provide assistance to the boarding school, but can not. Constrained land certificate of the building in the name of the mosque.

A few weeks later, Santri was back. The teaching and learning process is back. Umi Laila comes with a guest, looking for Umi Laila and Kyai Rohim. A couple who seemed guilty.
