Abhi's Return


4 Years later.


A cheerful and energetic Alma girl with a million talents prepares to start her day.


Four years have passed, today is the day of abhi's return from his studies in Egypt. Already from a week ago the santri preached about the news that abhi will soon be home, but last night not only news but it is true that abhi has indeed returned home. Many santri who saw his own abhi on the terrace of his house were chatting with his father Kyai Jabar.


Obviously if the santri can know because it is indeed the house of Kyai Jabar and adjacent boarding school only separated the wall as high as the chest of adults, not without reason why the wall is only made that high. That's because Kyai Jabar which is already a bit old so much in the house njagongi if there are guests coming to visit.


If already at home Kyai still want to be able to little ngawasi the santri from home then the wall is only built at chest level. Although many teachers at the cottage but he never gave up his responsibility to pursue santri santri. For him all children santri is his son who must be educated, guarded, in emong, and in love like his own child.

" Al's." Sapa Aruna is his best friend.


" Hmm..." His mouth was soft as he continued to move his feet towards the hall which was at the end of the hall close to the mushola.


" Al, waitin." cried Aruna who ran small to match Alma's footsteps.


"Al, do you know the opo urung? Mas Abhi wes muleh, want jarene tekone."


" Iha keep opo'o nek wes muleh?"


" Kok iso opo 'o sih Al. I'm talking about bali ball nek Mas Abhi kuwi seneng karo your crew Al."


" Husse.... Don't worry if you say, it's not good to hear other students, what else if until Bu Nyai who heard can be ashamed of me because of your words."


Aruna who was aware of his words nodded her head while gesturing to lock her mouth. In Alma's heart there is also a sense of happiness when he heard the words of his best friend about Mas Abhi. Although Abhi never directly expresses his feelings for alma but the girl knows that they are bound to the same taste. Only the two who did not dare to give meaning to the closeness of the two of them.


It cannot be denied if all students idolize the figure of Abhi, a man who is sholeh, kind and gentle, he said. The bringing of abhi as calm as yudhistira Javanese puppet figures made all santri including alma admire him. In addition, with a tall body and a very handsome face makes abhi become magnetic power in the cottage.

Days change days and run properly without any significant commotion other than the behavior of aruna who really likes to match alma with the son of the owner of the cottage. That day for the first time Alma met face to face with Abhi directly after Abhi's return from his studies in Egypt.


" Mrs Walaikumsalam, Mas." Reply alma while smiling sweetly and slightly subduing her gaze.


Alma won the girl who was a little shy than the other santri, she was also more silent, but it was precisely her shy attitude that made her look different from the other santri. So that she looks like a girl who is not easy to be approached by just any man, making anyone who sees her reluctant to want to tease her. Many of the kang kang santri admire the beauty of alma, especially with the elegance that always emanates from it. His good attitude and nature make a plus for the girl.


" How are you Nduk? Long time no see, how do you memorize smoothly?" Ask Abhi.


" Thank God my good news is that Mas and my memorization are also good." The answer is not to forget to end the smile. "Mas Abhi how are you?"


" Thank God, Nduk, thanks to your prayers, I am healthy." Candanya who makes alma again carve a smile on her beautiful face.


" Don't break the deposit to Ummi ya Nduk."


" No Mas, Alhamdulillah every day still deposit memorization to Bu Nyai."


" Alhamdulillah, continue to improve your learning take all the good Ummi knowledge. Keep learning so that tomorrow can replace Ummi with children."


I was just speechless hearing Mas abhi's words just now while holding nimang what he meant by his words, I haven't had time to interpret the meaning of Mas abhi's speech the sound of the aruna's crybreng disperse the atmosphere.


" l... Are you here anyway? Don't look anywhere doesn't know where to mojok here." While smiling Aruna's smile teased me, I who could only bow down was embarrassed because of aruna's attitude that no morals.


" Eh, is Mas abhi here too? Ngapunten ngggeh Mas, aruna did not see if there was Mas abhi." The reason aruna who only ngeles when he accidentally caught both of them because they feel bad when peering behind the wall and hear their conversation is very flat even classified as stale for the size of the person who is doing approaches.


Seen abhi just shook his head to see the behavior of the friend alma. Because of the arrival of Aruna, Abhi decided to end his conversation by greeting the two and passed away leaving the two girls who could only see Abhi's back slowly away. Replying to the greeting of the man.


" Ganteng yo Al, kyok arjuno."


" Don't you know what ae rupane arjuna is like?"


" Ckk, you don't understand Al's proverbs. Wong lanang nek ganteng iku must be like koyok arjuno, mosok yo koyok slamet mas sing dodol know round kuwi afternoon nek."


" Why bring me mas slamet?"


" Lha piye, arani arjuno yo gak by." Grumpy aruna while he was singing his mouth. " Ah, I ero gantenge koyok Lee min ho, kori kuwi lo al. Piye Al isn't in?"


" oem... Oh, um..." Alma does not want to lose.
