Santri Pekok

They called Agus to join the place, which had available chairs and tables. A place that is usually used to relax at night, after the teaching activities are finished.

Agus and Andri joined them, sitting in the chair of one corner of the place.

Agus looked at the clear sky. The view of the night sky is indeed beautiful, when viewed from that place. The comfortable atmosphere is so felt. There was no sound of vehicles, only the jokes of the students gathered at the place.

"Oh yeah, you know Ale kang huh?" Andri looked at Agus who was raising his head, looking at the star-studded sky.

"Ale?" Agus repeated the name, frowning.

"Yes, the one who convinced you to work with him," explained Andre.

"Ooh... that," Agus nodded, lali again said, "Not her name is Paijo huh?" ask her.

"Heem .. his name is Paijo. He used to be called Ale. So he was until now known by the name Ale," said Andri.

"Ooh. I just met him this afternoon. I was walking around looking around, and I kept seeing him. Uh, he's making sure to eat out. Yes I follow, I happen to be hungry too" replied Agus.

"Em... But he's kind of weird, huh? He answered my words that I did not say. Though I only spoke in my heart, but he said it, as if answering my words," Paijo recalled, Agus remembered the incident earlier this afternoon. He thinks it's unnatural. If only once, maybe you could say the original talk, and coincidence, but it happened twice. Agus also felt that something was awkward about it.

" Kang Ale, huh? Well, he could indeed hear the words of the person in the heart. So be careful when he is, do not curse at his side, even if only in your heart," replied Andri with a small laugh.

"Cock can be like that? Is there anyone who can hear someone else's words in their heart?" Agus looked at Andri really.

"You could say, the advantages of kalick yes. But that is how it is. Kang Ale is the longest student here. By the time I got into this pesantren, he had already been here a few years before his," replied Andri.

"Keep if it's been a santri for a long time, it can listen to the words of people in the heart?"

Andri chuckled at that, then said, "If it were just being a santri here, it would be impossible, even if it was for decades. Kang Ale used to be a man who loved to do tirakat,"

"Type?" Agus interrupted Andri's words, when there was a foreign word heard in his ear.

"Yes. Tirakat that, do something, to get something. Or in other words it does a certain practice. Such as fasting mutih, ngerowot, fasting patih geni, and many other practices, with different goals.

"Snake-off?" again, Agus got a foreign word, which he had never known so far.

"Yes. Ale and his old classmate, doing this, aim to get the light of heart,"

"Liver of heart?" Agus repeated the sentence, out of curiosity, what is meant by the light of the heart.
