SANTRI MBELING
BANNER IN LOVE

After Panji enjoy a bowl of meatballs and a glass of young coconut ice... The banner ignites the cigarette and rests on a wooden chair that is already rather fragile.

"Bela, I want to go to the bathroom," Panji said and stood up.

"The bathroom is outside Kang, behind the house" Bela said,

"Don't be surprised...! The bathroom has no roof, the door is just a dull sheet of cloth hanging."

While walking back... Panji said softly,

"This house is very fragile and dirty... Bela was also his parents. All kitchen furniture is also not worth using. Hmmm... The lives of the poor... It's lucky I have a decent Dad and Mom."

From the bathroom and relax for a moment... Panji then pamit,

"Bela, I want to say goodbye first... Go back to the cottage."

"Alright Kang Panji, thank you for visiting my Dad," said Bela who looked happy, who was very happy,

"You were the first to see my father... Thanks for the meat as well."

'Actually... I'm here to see you, the second I want to see your father, and the third... I want to give you money. Take this money, to treat your father. Your mother said... Your father can recover in surgery to remove the veins."

Look at the thick envelopes that the banner offers... Bela said,

"Thank you Kang... Just use that money for your daily needs at the cottage."

While holding Bela's palm... Panji forced,

"Receive this money, I make sure no one knows that I gave you money! I'm iklas... Assalamualaikum."

"Waalaikumsalam salam," replied Bela who was still stunned standing staring at the departure of Panji until invisible.

While sitting on the chair... Bela shed tears while muttering,

"It turns out there are still good people and understand the situation and my sadness. Even though he's a naughty teenager... He's good-hearted. Thanks Panji... May Allah repay your kindness, may you be a pious saint."

"Dad... This is money for treatment, it was in the love of my Diniyah school friend," said Bela.

"Alhamdulillah... Bela... The boy loves you, I know from the look in his eyes" Bela's father said.

"Ah This father could have been," said Bela while thrusting the envelope granting Panji,

"Bela is still a teenager... Panji is also a teenager, a child."

"Dad knows... Because Dad was a man. Long ago... Dad is the same as your mom. Child of today... It was different from the kids of old. Bela... The young man, back in time... He's watching all the house."

After crossing the highway... Panji said softly as he walked,

"Why are the Kyai here rich? But do not pay attention to the poor life of the poor, huh...? Kyai Nuruddin's family, Kyai Asbak, Kyai Najib all live with a treasure, eat well!

But... There are many poor and poor villagers... Just eat less! Weird...?

Do the Kyai not know? What do you pretend not to know? Don't you want to know...?

Kyai her eat well - tasty and full... Neighbors lack food, if they eat... Often does not taste good. Like the Bela family, I saw in the kitchen, there was only rice as soy sauce as crackers.

Did I eat at 11 at Kyai Ashbak's? The menu rendang beef, fried chicken etc.

If I were the Kyai... You won't be able to swallow rendang meat! Hmmm... Nevermind! I'd better go to the tomb, but Kyai's traveling to Jakarta, tomorrow's his yard."

In front of the tomb... As usual, the banner rests on a wooden pole. Shortly thereafter... The banner broke down and fell asleep.

Temporary... Ustadz Bakri and some of the lodge managers, were conducting a small meeting in the room.

Some managers suspect Panji is a prank on changing the clockwork of the wall. Especially Wawan santri senior also the manager of the cottage is very suspicious of Panji. Because Kang Wawan saw Panji enter the other santri's room. For not seeing with his own eyes... Kang Wawan did not dare to accuse, just suspect it.

Before the Magrib prayer... A luxury car is parked in the cottage yard. Shortly after, a businessman got out of the car and approached the musholla,

"Assynoltom..."

"Waalaikumsalam" replied Kng Ujang.

"Kangs... Any promises?" ask Mr. Samat.

"Kang Panji has not come, sir, this afternoon he went to Diniyah school" replied Kang Ujang.

"Oh okay! Then I wait in this musollah while waiting for Magrib prayer," said Mr. Samat Real Estate entrepreneur from Cirebon.

"Adzan Magrib was heard from the village mosque, Panji woke up and went out of the tomb. Shortly thereafter,

"Assalamualaikum Grandma..."

"Please enter Gus..."

"I took Nek's bath, and was praying Magrib" Panji said.

"Yes Gus, please take a shower first keep praying out that you eat," said Nyai Sa'adah.

Not lam later... Panji enjoying dinner with Grandma Sa'adah at the dinner table,

"Mr... Grandma's cooking is really good, like my mom's cooking... Grandma has a lot of money too. It's got a menu of shrimp peyek, beef rib soup, beef rendang etc."

"That was, Grandpa jJbat was given Gus," replied Nyai Sa'adah.

"Mr... Once - time, take Grandpa to play to the tomb, yes," Panji said,

"Let Panji know Grandpa Jabat's face."

"Yes Gus, when - when will I invite," said Nyai Sa'adah,

"Oh yes! End this... You play at the tomb... Who knows Grandpa Jabat came home early, I'll take him to play at the tomb."

"Yes Nek, Panji go first, Grandma... Assalamualaikum," Panji said.

When we got to the tomb gate... The banner saw a luxury car lying under a tree. In front of the tomb... The banner saw someone sitting on a tile not far from the tomb. When near, the man stood up and said hello,

"Assalamualaikum Kang Panji's..."

"Waalaikumsalam Mr. Samat," replied Panji then sat on the edge of the ceramic, and,

"Loh! Since when have you been in this tomb?"

It was finished praying Magrib," replied Mr. Samat, then took a 2-pack of marlboro cigarette from the bag,

"This is Kang, the cigarette for Kang Panji."

"Thank you sir" Panji said.

"Kang Panji's... Thank God, after drinking sugar water and a little salt your giving... My wife threw up. After about an hour, my wife recovered as before," said Mr. Samat happy, happy,

"Today my wife can walk and do daily activities."

"Sir, that package is from Grandma Sa'adah, not from me... I was just given to you to give to you" Panji said.

"Kang Panji, as a thank you... I tipped this envelope to Grandma Sa'adah yes," said Mr. Samat then thrust a thick brown envelope.

"Yes sir, I will later convey my gratitude to Grandma Sa'adah," said Panji.

"Kang Panji wants what...? If you are able, I will grant you," said Mr. Samat.

"What kind of job is your father?" tanya Panji then lit a cigarette.

"Father work as a Real Estate entrepreneur or home developer," replied Mr. Samat,

"Why are kang?"

"It's okay sir, just ask. You see, my car is very good" Panji said,

"If employers... Nerarti a lot of money Mr."

"Yeah... Is Lang Panji, Insallah is enough," said Mr. Samad humbled,

"Tell me... Kang Panji wants what? Don't be shy - be shy, just say it."

"Well sir, I want a new motorcycle and money to fix the house" Panji said.

"Alright Kang Panji, I will fulfill Kang Panji's request," said Mr. Samat then took a brown envelope, then put it in front of Panji, and then put it in front of Panji,

"It's 10 million, insallah... If you buy a new motorbike and repair the house, that's enough."

"Thank you, sir... May the kindness and charity of Mr. Samat be rewarded and rewarded by the Gusti of God" Panji said.

"Aami... I'm sorry Kang Panji, I want to go to Jakarta first, there is business" said Mr. Samat,

"Wish your efforts smoothly and successfully."

"Yes sir, Aamiin," said Panji

"Assalamualaikum," said Mr. Samat then stood up.

"Waalaikumsalam" replied Panji.
