SANTRI MBELING
PENNANT DREAM

After the Magrib prayer for hours... Kang Subur taught Panji to read the Qur'an.

"Pennants... Have you ever read the Qur'an?" ask Kang Fertile his senior.

"Not Kang," Panji replied.

"Do you understand hija'iyyah?" ask Kang Fertile.

"No Kang," Panji replied.

"Keep you from small what is it...? I never saw any salary in your village musolla!" ask Kang Fertile.

"From small to this size never saw Kang," replied Panji,

"If you're drunk, dating, playing to the moll, ngamen almost every day Kang."

"Pennants... What are you drunk on?" ask Kang Subur slowly,

"Try to name a brand of intoxicating drink."

"Kang... !why are we talking about liquor brands? ask Panji, "When do you learn to pay?"

"Husssti... The problem is easy," said Kang Subur,

"I'll never get drunk, so I want to know what brands of drinks can be intoxicating, so I'm not curious."

When nice - good chatting in the room while facing the Qur'an at the study table... Suddenly came Ustad Bakrie to control the santri who again learn njai.

Surprised by the arrival of Ustadz Bakrie Lurah... Kang Fertile quickly said,

"Aaaaliiif, try ditching!"

"Aaaliif," Panji said mimicking Kang Fertile.

"Fertile Kang... Teach Panji to memorize hija'iyyah," exclaimed Ustadz Bakrie then passed.

"Yes Ustadz," replied Kang Fertile while stroking his chest,

"It's a good thing we didn't hear our conversation.... Ayoo Panji, answer my question."

"The intoxicating drink is his brand there is a Leaning Hat, Mensen, there is Vodca, bie chu pek, Drum, there is Arak brand. Arak is also a kind - kind of type, there is Balinese wine, Tuban wine, Madiun wine and many more Kang," answered Panji plain.

"What is the most delicious and intoxicating brand," asked Kang Subur curious.

"That's delicious and intoxicating Mensen 1 bottle, mixed with 2-star beer bottles, then in the love of lemon dikit Kang, replied Panji plain,

"After mixing in the teapot... Keep on giving ice cubes a little let it cool. Mm-hmm... Steady Kang! It feels good - how savory! Especially the marlboro or danhil."

"Fertile Have you never drank liquor?!!" ask Panji.

"Never before Panji, from childhood I was in a boarding school," replied Kang Panji, as he was,

"So never knew the outside world... Especially Moll as you mentioned earlier."

"Hehehe... Ndeso you are Kang, outdated," Panji said with a laugh,

"The Fertile Kang wants to know the taste of liquor, huh?"

"Hussttt don't be hard - hard...! Later it sounded santri other," said Kang Fertile while sticking his finger to his lips.

"When the holiday cottage play to my house, we drunk together, let you know the taste and not curious anymore" Panji said.

Adhan Isak.

"Pennants... Pay tomorrow again... Let's pray isak first," said Kang Subur then stood up.

***

After the prayer of Isaac... Panji went to the kitchen ndalem, while in the kitchen, because he was not used to it... Panji to the right look to the left finally towards the well for washing dishes.

"Panji" pangil Bu Nyai Shinta.

"Yes Bu Nyai," Panji replied then approached.

"You eat first... Mr. Kyai had eaten just now," said Ms. Nyai Shinta,

"You ate what Mr. Kyai and I ate. When you finish eating... You keep washing dishes back to the cottage to study. If the night is up, your job is to eat and wash the dishes."

"Yes Bu Nyai," Panji replied then headed towards the dining table.

After taking one plate and a glass of water... The banner sits on a bench near the well. While enjoying dinner... The banner said inwardly,

"It's so hungry of me... The food is so good!

There's gravy, there's meat and shrimp, there's tempeh."

After washing the dishes... Panji back to the cottage.

In front of musolla... Panji sees Kyai Nuruddin teaching njai. Many senior santri sit both inside and outside the musollah.

"Seeettt," Kang Salim gave the code, as his hand waved towards Panji.

Panji approached and sat outside the musollah with Kang Salim.

"What's Kang doing?" ask Panji lirih.

"Sit here with me, Kyai Nuruddin explained the book of ihya ulumuddin," said Kang Salim slowly.

"I don't have Kang's book" Panji said,

"I don't know any hija'iyyah yet."

Kyai Nuruddin explained,

"The one who reads the Qur'an can receive a reward, but also a sin. If you read the Qur'an with the intention to be praised, and the sound is made - made or tasted - make it sweet, so that others hear, then to be flattered... That person is called a show or a riyak. People who worship like this will be in vain, even he will get sin.

If the intention of reading the Qur'an lillah, as it is and do not expect flattery or praise... He'll get the reward."

Less than 1 hour and a half... Kyai Nuruddin concluded with a sentence,

"Wallahualam bishawab."

After Kyai left... The santri scatter out musolla. There are some santri who cook rice, some are still salaried in the room, some even snack at the coffee shop behind the cottage.

"Pennants... Ayoo made coffee to the back stall of the cottage," Kang Salim asked,

"Let's know the state of the cottage."

"All right," said Panji,

"But I've never had Kang's coffee."

"Byeah! What do you usually drink in a shop?" ask Kang Salim.

"Drink iced tea" Panji said.

While walking... Kang Salim said,

"Panji, in that cabin... The average santri drinks coffee, so you have to learn to drink coffee... Kyai from the NU school... I like to drink coffee and smoke. If we imitate kyai NU drinking coffee and smoking... Then we'll have kyai's barracks."

"Alright, I will try to drink coffee," said Panji.

After sitting under a rather dim tree - dim... Panji and Kang Salim enjoy black coffee and a puff of cigarette smoke.

"Kang Salim's... Kyai said reward and sin... What does that mean? What does sin mean?" ask Panji.

"The one who has done good has a blessing from Allah... The gift is called reward. And

The reward is given tomorrow after we die in the grave and in the afterlife.

If someone has done something wrong... That's why he got a gift from God... His name is sin. Sin is also given when dying in the grave and the afterlife" replied Kang Salim,

"What's it like to drink coffee...?"

"Yes pretty good! Suitable for cigarettes," replied Panji,

"Kang Salim how long have you studied at this pesantren?"

"It's been 2 years" replied Kang Salim.

"Once too, yes" said Panji,

"That means Kang Salim's smart?"

"Not yet how clever Panji is... It's normal" said Kang Salim,

"When you go to school in pesantren, if you are lazy to learn yaa still stupid! Even though we are in the pesantren for a while, if we are diligent najai yaa fast alim."

"Assalamualaikum," said Kang Ujang,

"I found Cariin in the corner of the shop...! Pantesan did not meet. Eeee... There's Panji...! How is... Have you memorized the prayer reading yet? Mr. Radi... The regular... Black coffee one."

"Not yet to memorize Kang" Panji replied,

"It's new! Kang Salim taught prayer."

"Whether you're a crybaby, a smile - a smile of your own" asked Kang Salim.

"While laughing... Kang Ujang said,

"Grandfather... It's just remembering the sublime prayer earlier... The Panji squeezes the bird Ustad Bakri." 😅

Heard Kang Ujang's words... Salim and Panji laughed out loud - Bahak.

That night... Panji and his new friend shared the story, laughing happily.

"Kang ujang's... Where are you from?" ask Panji.

"From here only Kang, from Kramatwatu District," replied Kang Ujang.

"Where did Kang Salim come from?" ask Panji.

"I'm from Peacock, an hour from here" replied Kang Salim,

"If the cottage holiday... You do not go back to Surabaya... Play at my house, we'll fish on the beach."

"Ayoo we return to the cottage, it's 11 pm," said Kang Ujang."

Shortly after the cottage... The banner goes into the room located at the end. After being in the room... Banner reading letter Al fatiha latin arab writing.

Panji memorized Al fatiha until late at night, until Panji fell asleep while holding a piece of paper reading Al Fatiha.

When Panji sleeps... Panji dreamed of two tigers sitting next to him... The tiger is like guarding the banner.

Adhan Fajr echoed, the santri were busy ablution for holiness.

"The banner...! The banner...! Wake up! Ayoo prayed at dawn" said Kang Subur.

After fighting with drowsiness... The banner was finally built, then wash your face and pray together.

After the Fajr prayer... Kang Fertile taught Panji to memorize the ordinances of ablution along with its readings and prayers.
