Light For Gus Mu
Chapter 20: Misunderstanding
Wafi was silent, watching Bayyin and Afsheen. Bayyin had said the answer, he wanted all the families of Moses to meet. One Sunday more because Musa's mother was in Jakarta, in the house of his other son. The two girls will soon give up their single, sad and happy Wafi. He grabbed his hape to see the Instagram apk which is now a limp account when he was sad and upset, who else if not Shafiyah who made the application so special for him.
Wafi frowned in surprise at a video, an Arabic song that Shafiyah posted on her instastory. He silently listened to the song which turned out to be Shafiyah herself singing it. The girl was sounding gold.
”This is the sound right?” mumble Wafi and listen well.” There's a shrimp behind the rock, why is the song love-love like this, he thinks I don't know what ya. My people from orok are taught to talk only in Arabic, for whom is the song Bibah? kit ati aing." Wafi muttered again so sad with the girl's instastory.
”🎶I'm entirely yours🎶 everything in me calls you🎶,
I don't just love you,🎶
'love' is just a word I dedicate to you.🎶”
Wafi was silent to the song that Shafiyah was singing, is this a sign of rejection for her? he was sick to hear it.
”That's Shafiyah's voice right," Bayyin chirped and made Wafi turn towards her. Wafi nodded weakly.” Fiyah has a tik***.”
”Try to make a tik***new." Pinta Wafi while giving his hape to Afsheen.
”Apaan anyway," ketus Afsheen and push her brother's arm.
”Aa what do you want? later alay there, make shame,” reprimand Bayyinah.
”That's not so, seriously. Please make a neng," Wafi's decree again to Bayyinah forced. Bayyin received his brother's phone and Wafi grabbed his sister's phone, it turns out Bayyin also had.” Whose name?”
”Search in the column that Bayyin follows, there's Fiyah's name there," Bayyin said, and Wafi searched carefully. His lips soon made a knot, a wide knot and began to look around at what Shafiyah posted, if it hit the girl. The soul of Kepo Wafi suddenly awakened.
Bayyin fiddled with Wafi's hape and Wafi answered occasionally when his sister asked, after the account was completed, Bayyin increased so that the brother did not mess or post something. Mending don't post anything either, because Bayyin knows Wafi is a little behind and doesn't really know what social media is like, wrong a little viral, almost no privacy, almost no privacy, taking photos and videos of people without permission is commonplace now.
Wafi followed Shafiyah's non-private account, then she went back to seeing all the videos that Shafiyah posted. Again he saw a video of his ashes, but on more than the Ig account of the girl. Shafiyah promotes the life of Al Bidayah pesantren to everyone, with the permission of other pesantren managers, and Raihanah. To attract new santri and santriwati candidates, she also often answers some questions about pesantren, but not with the men who make her seductive comments.
In the dormitory, Shafiyah frowned seeing Wafi's account following her again.
”Asstaghfirullah Gus, this deliberately followed the social media trail I got here what? Kang lebay basic,” said Shafiyah and saw that Wafi's account was lifeless because it was still new and Wafi was also not interested in posting anything, he just wanted to see Shafiyah.
A few minutes later, Shafiyah panicked to see the notification ttk 99++. The man did not knowingly make Shafiyah uncomfortable, with such a blind spam like that.
”Yes Gus Behavior.” Shafiyah was upset and put her crude hape to the table. Gus Mu did not know and did not consciously do it, he thought by pressing love so crazy, it could make Shafiyah like it but it was the opposite. Shafiyah was confused and thought to block, but where could she do that.

The next day, Gus Mu will return to Bandung city this afternoon. The man was sitting with some teachers on the terrace of the mosque.
”Gus, I heard that Chairil and Khalisah want to get married. I know Gus Mu's feelings must be sad, patient yes,” said ustadz Jaidi then pat Wafi's shoulder, trying to entertain. The one patted his shoulder even glared astonished at the speech of Ustadz Jaidi, so this is what Shafiyah meant the other day.
”Sorry ustadz,” said Wafi as he brushed ustadz Jaidi's hand off his shoulder, another ustadz and some santri silently watched." I do not like Khalisah, so this is what makes pesantren. Until I pass each time in the syndicate? well worth it, but I don't like Khalisah Ustadz." Vicky explained. And he believes this is also what makes Chairil always cynical about him.
”Lah, instead of Gus at that time said like Khalisah?” ustadz Jaidi started to tense up, he was self-conscious because he started it all. With hope, Gus Mu can be happy in the midst of trials and humiliation by marrying Khalisah, but instead Chairil who is being discussed with Khalisah at this time.
”Oh at that time I said I like because Ustadz Jaidi is fitting we again hear the sound of Khalisah, deserve Khalisah very often send a message to me. I never bales, because I don't like it,” said Wafi and everyone gasped. Chairil who eavesdropped earlier immediately rushed over, not liking Khalisah to be humiliated by Wafi.
”There is evidence that what you say is true, do not slander Khalisah!" firmly Chairil and Ustadz Jaidi broke up, fearing that among the cousins there was a fight.
”Aaan anyway?" ketus Wafi slightly ignored and Chairil inflamed.
”You don't have the proof, don't be careless.” Chairil until pointed Wafi right in front of Wafi's face, Wafi did not accept. He who initially did not want to show how Khalisah sent messages to him also began to be lured.” If you are evil, a sentence of 8 years is not enough to make you good Wafi!”
”Chairil.. !!!!!!!” Shouted Raihanah, her voice so deafening. The anger of a mother who accidentally heard her son being yelled at, and with her own eyes she saw how the man was cursing at his son. Showing his son's face with contempt. The two eyes that still left the beauty despite his old age were red and watery, Raihanah's hands clenched tightly, he looked at Chairil with a look of wrath.
”I'm not lying, and you can't accuse me recklessly. Don't you think I'm willing to compete for a girl like Khalisah, I know better which is more valuable and special,” said Wafi smelled of humiliation. He gave his hape, showing how the low words of Khalisah seduced Wafi. Wafi just opened the message two lines, row down lined he never opened let alone read it.
”Bone son, home,” pinta Raihanah hoarse and afraid her son desperate. Wafi said goodbye to everyone and he put his bare shoulders on his shoulders, leading him away from the front of the mosque.
Arriving at home, Raihanah prepares for the Dhuha prayer. Wafi went and stayed on a road leading to a garden, a horse race and an archery. It's quiet and he's safe to smoke there. Wafi was silent, for quite a while, one two three he smoked three cigarettes and the third was still half. If it wasn't Chairil, he might have given her a gift of a blue mark in the man's eyes.
Tap tap tap! the sound of weak footsteps, the end of a girl's robe could be heard rubbing against the grass she was stepping on. She was Shafiyah who was alone, Wafi flinched and immediately stood up from her seat. The two stared at each other in confusion, Shafiyah noticed the cigarette that was clamped with the man's two fingers, and the man immediately threw it away.
”She smokes it turns out,” muttered Shafiyah and Wafi looks embarrassed because Shafiyah saw her in such a state, an activity that girls often hate, especially wives.
”Hiks!" the cry of Khalisah made Shafiyah turn her head. Khalisah came with some santriwati.
Wafi dodged to leave but Khalisah saw him.
”You where you are huh! because of you!" shouts Khalisah and Wafi bewildered.
”Khalis,” rebukes Shafiyah and holds the girl's shoulder, but Khalisah brushes Shafiyah's hand roughly.
”Hei!” wafi shouted loudly, he was afraid Shafiyah wretched again because of the rudeness of Khalisah.
”For your marriage I was postponed, because you're an ex-convict. I don't like you, want as much as you, as rich as you are, ex-con will be difficult to remove. Why do you make me like this, you say the same ustadz Chairil. Keep acting, seek attention,” said Khalisah cursing and denouncing. Wafi clenched his hands and Shafiyah saw that, the man's blood seemed to boil, the veins on his neck stiffened and raised, his steps forward one step because of the anger that seethed upon hearing Khalisah's words. His gaze was so sharp, his jaw hardened and his forehead was sweating.
Trembling Wafi's teeth until it sounded, so strong he held back so as not to let go of hurting a woman who had hurt and shook her soul.
"Khalisah, that's not Khalisah. There is news that this is misunderstanding. This is wrong, you are not wrong.” Salwa and Shafiyah cried full of his words." This is because Ustadz Jaidi misinterpreted Gus Mu's speech. Quite Khalisah," said Salwa back and Khalisah instead advanced closer to Wafi.
”Khalisah apologize right now, you are wrong Khalisah. You're too much, don't let me tell your family." Threaten Shafiyah and push Khalisah's shoulders so as not to approach the man who was angry, and with all his might to keep him from exploding.
”Don't threaten me!” khalisah firmly while shedding tears because his marriage and Chairil now seems a mere fantasy. Khalisah's gaze turned to Gus Mu back.” Heh Napi, I know you're a Gus, and I'm also a Ning. What good is the status if the behavior of the owner of his title like you, killing two lives at once, and now coming back just makes a mess.”
”Your presence here does not make a good change at all, pesantren even more remembered the nest of a criminal because of you. Go and don't expect your love to be reciprocated, I don't like you. And never will!” Khalisah exclaimed loudly. Everyone was not aware one of the students heard and called ustadz Jaidi and Chairil.
Santri and santriwati who had just returned from the stables and archery were silent listening and watching the incident.
”Continue? continues to. As bad as a man, as bad as it is, only a good girl will choose. And you, a Ning who does not show the title of his attitude, his verbal and his mannerisms. Not the wrong title but the guy, I never liked you. This is wrong and I only like one woman..." Wafi said so firmly, without shouting because there are feelings of girls that he must take care of at this time. He did not want Shafiyah to look at him badly, despite her murderous past.
His words now hung and his gaze turned to Shafiyah.
He was eager to express his feelings in front of everyone to the girl, but he was resistant, as he felt unable to account for his words for now.

Flashback: One day, Gus mu gathered on the terrace of the mosque with the others, while listening to the santriwati who was sholawatan, led by Khalisah who held a mic. They continued to praise the beauty of the girl and Wafi silently listened, which man was not interested, and Wafi was interested in the beauty of Khalisah. But slowly he began to look at the instalment and seek the attention of the girl, and was much different from the calm and shy Shafiyah.
His interest in Khalisah began to fade, and increasingly attracted to Shafiyah especially in Burhan's grandfather's company who continued to tell the advantages and disadvantages of Shafiyah. She starts to feel in love without him noticing, begins to aggressively figure out how the girl is.
”Suara Khalisah is good ya Gus,” praise Ustadz Jaidi who feels both are suitable to be juxtaposed.
”It's good," replied Wafi.
”Gus likes?" tanyakanya.
”Iya," briefly Wafi and she turned her head then noticed Shafiyah just came home from college.” God," he whispered.
Ustadz Jaidi smiled and told some of the santri afterwards, if Gus Mu likes Khalisah in the hope that the two can be together, because the age is equally ripe to advance in the marriage bond. But Ustadz Jaidi was mistaken and misunderstood, with Wafi's short and vague answer. Brief and plus the transfixed Wafi noticed Shafiyah.
