My Life In Pesantren
What a tension

The Adhan had stopped reverberating, and the event was resumed, the cimol food that I had grown had 3 seeds and I immediately spent when I heard the call at the 14th draw,,, and,, I was really tense, and I hurriedly opened my Qur'an and noticed who was performing, and,, from the start the jury read out his challenge and when the participant also read him I scrutinized each letter , his makhraj and his short length carefully,, and,, so that later I have no mistakes when appearing and continue to pay attention to it until the next draw..

The time is so unfeelable, right now the draw no 15 is going on, my heart is pounding even more,, and my body trembled because in front of later not only the daughter santri who saw but the son santri also even the community also watched. really must have a strong mentality,, but I'm always sure I can...

The 15th draw was over, my body was shaking more and more and more unsettled, with a ready mentality, and white clothes, white hoods and purple gloves.. I'm ready to perform too...

"Alright, let's welcome the 16th draw of Nisa's sister," called the host..

all clapping, there are also yelling, shouting is not an excuse but as a support and enliven the event,, and,,

I took a few deep breaths to calm down, too,,

"Spirited tea.." Say de ilah who is next to me while sitting ...

I also started walking towards the stage, step by step and up the stairs, and then I sat down and started performing..

"Assalamualaikum w.r.b." I started my look with my heart deg degan and held the mic with trembling hands but I tried to calm down, and tried to glance in both directions to make it quieter in front of him..

"Well sister Nisa, try to go to page 267.(for example.)" said one of the judges who will give me a challenge..

I tried to find him and it didn't take me long to find him, and the jury went on..

"Try sister read from verses 60 to 68 letters ar ra'du, (for example)" said the jury..

When I found it I began to read it, with a long sigh I began to read it

I read as much as I can as thoroughly and as beautifully as I can, as I can,, I was so fervent in reading it because I was afraid I would stop in the middle of my appearance or something was wrong that I repeated it again to be right,, so to avoid it all as much as possible I try to calm down and continue to read it with a very heart and as well as possible, not because I want to be a champion but I just want to be right in reading it,, I also did not have a melodious voice but it was more than enough that reading the Qur'an well was enough for me..

A while later the end was completed anyway, I also managed to complete the challenge from the jury and the results are up to the important thing later I performed well..

I ended it with a greeting and came back down from the stage..

And the lottery was continued to the next draw...
