NIGHT BUTTERFLY
#202
Master Teacher Izzul Islam let out a long sigh while closing his eyes for a moment. His chest was still pounding before the start of the marriage contract. Even the black peci he wore several times in the position of the fix. Although his marriage contract tonight was only witnessed by his students, close relatives and some officers from KUA, but he still felt groggy.
The sound of the door being knocked down with the sound of greetings. Master Izzul Islam grabbed the turban he placed on the mirror table. He then placed it on his shoulder. For a moment he looked at his own face in front of the mirror. He smiles.
"Bismil was bornrahmanirrahim," he said. After that he turned around and stepped towards the door.
"What's the matter, Lik," said Master Izzul Islam when he saw Abdul khalik standing bowing his head at the door.
"Wait for Nyai Sulastri's mother, Mr. Guru," Abdul Khalik said.
"Okay, you go first, I'll catch up,"
"Okay, Master Teacher,"

Mr. Nurasmin put on a black suit that was brought by Sofia's mother. Bu Sofia still stood watching Mr. Nurasmin who was installing one by one the buttons of his suit. When finished, Sofia gave Mr. Nurasmin his black peci.
"How, Ma. Is mom coming?" said mr. Nurasmin. Bu Sofia sighed. He looked at Layla's room. He looks restless.
"It's probably not, sir. I'm worried about Layla. I suspect, from earlier he was looking for a rope rapia. Would your child commit suicide, sir," said Sofia's mother.
"Hus! mom says she's slacking off. You can't say that, ma'am," said Mr. Nurasmin. He stared hard at Sofia.
"It's not so, sir. Every time I ask, I never answer. I send greetings to Nak Izzul," said Sofia.
"Mr is sure Layla has changed. According to Mr. , he will not be affected if his master's sister marries again,"
"But we never know what will happen, sir. Anyway, I don't want to come" Sofia said.
Mr. Nurasmin sighed. Looking at Sofia's worried face, she also looks anxious. He stared at Sofia's mom for a moment and then he threw his body on the sofa. He also let go of the ice on the table with a long sigh.
Sofia's mom scrunched her forehead. When he saw Mr. Nurasmin began to open one by one the buttons of his suit, Sofia immediately sat down.
"Loh, Sir. Why removable?" said Sofia bu astonished while holding the hand of Mr. Nurasmin.
"I don't think you should go, Mom. I was worried about hearing my mother's story. Let's just call you later, son Izzul, about why we're not there,"
"No need, sir. Let me take care of Layla. Don't worry."
Mr. Nurasmin looked at Sofia. Ms. Sofia smiled trying to convince Mr. Nurasmin. Mr. Nurasmin sighed. He took the peci back on the table. Bu Sofia herself directly pairing back the button jaz Pak Nurasmin.
"then I'll find Layla there. If necessary tonight I sleep in his room" said Mr. Nurasmin. Bu Sofia nodded. After greeting Mr. Nurasmin, he rushed towards Layla's room. But just a step later, Layla's door opened. Layla appeared and ran hastily with a parcel to Nurasmin.
"Sir, you're leaving, sir," Layla said. His breath sounded dull. Mr. Nurasmin and Ms. Sofia both frowned staring in wonder. They look at each other.
"What is this, son?" ask Mr. Nurasmin.
"Alhamdulillah, I think you will return to the way you used to be, Son. I almost didn't go see your master's contract, sir,"
"Well, why, sir,"
Mr. Nurasmin looked at Sofia's mom.Bu Sofia just smiled.
"No, your mother, she's worried about you." Mr. Nurasmin pointed towards Sofia's mother. Sofia just smiled.
"It's okay, sir, Mom. Dad and mom go away and Layla's not gonna do anything,"
"No, Son. Let me stay here to accompany you. I can come another day to visit your master. But if you want to come along, mom will too" Sofia said as she tidied Layla's hair, occasionally closing her eyes.
"No need, Mom. Layla is still desperate for a task that Layla has not completed" Layla said. Sofia smiled. Layla's head was rubbed gently.
After he felt Layla was fine, Nurasmin finally got out to his car. Layla followed him from behind while bringing a gift she made to Master Izzul Islam.
"Sir, send greetings to Brother Tuan ya. God willing, Layla will be there after graduation" Layla said with a shy smile. Mr. Nurasmin raised both eyebrows. He smiles. The gift in Layla's hand was taken and put in the car.
"Come, you masum there. Accompany your mother" said Mr. Nurasmin. Layla nodded. After the car driven by Mr. Nurasmin came out of the yard, Layla immediately closed the gate and entered his house.

The santri unison recited the Badr prayer when Mr. Guru Izzul Islam was seen climbing the stairs of the mosque. The head of the KUA and all the village equipment and some pesantren administrators who were in the mosque, without being commanded immediately stood up to welcome the arrival of Master Izzul Islam. Behind him accompanied Abdul Khalik and Zaebon. Not long after Master Izzul Islam sat down, Sulastri appeared with a group holding Jamila who looked elegant in a white dress. Sulastri then sat Jamila beside Master Izzul Islam.
"How, Master Teacher. Can we start the show?" the head of the KUA said after downing closer to the seat of Master Izzul Islam.
"Please, sir," said Master Izzul Islam. Mr. Guru Izzul Islam and the head of KUA then both improved his sitting position with one knee raised. The head of KUA shook tightly the hand of Master Izzul Islam.
"But I'm sorry, Master. I probably wouldn't call his title Master Teacher. Once again I apologize," said the head of the KUA half-whispering. Master Izzul Islam smiled.
"Oh yeah, it's okay, sir. Please," said Master Izzul Islam. The head of the KUA took a deep breath.
"Bismilbornrahmanirrahim. Izzul Islam ibn tgh. Then Liwaul Hamdi, I marry you to the deceased Jamila bint Muhammad Tayib with a prayer set and three grams of gold paid in cash,"
"I accept Jamila bint Muhammad Tayib's marriage with a three-gram bag of prayer and three-gram gold in cash,"
Valid.., legitimate...
There was a boisterous sound of the students who were enthusiastic to witness the marriage contract of Mr. Guru Izzul Islam. The atmosphere returned boisterous when Mr. Guru Izzul Islam handed over the mascavine to Jamila. Haru Jamila's tears were not heard by the boisterous santri who were happy with the end of the marriage contract of Master Izzul Islam and Jamila.
Seeing Jamila crying, Sulastri who was behind Jamila immediately approached. Pungung Jamila then rubbed it gently. Seeing that Jamila's crying did not stop, Master Izzul Islam whispered to Sulastri to take Jamila away from the event.
"Consideration, for santriwan and santriwati can already leave the venue. The committee has prepared a buffet in their respective dormitories. So we invite the students to their respective dormitories. Thanks." The santri then disbanded after listening to the announcement from the event committee. One by one the guests inside the mosque stood up and greeted Mr. Izzul Islam, congratulating him.
