Santri Pekok

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

"Yes. If the discussion is easy to understand, it may open the inner eye. However, if the inner eye is open, it can sometimes only see the existence of other creatures created by God, such as Jin or other subtle creatures. Well, if the light of the heart, not only can see astral beings, but also can hear the speech in someone's heart" explained Andri.

Feathers all over Agus' body immediately stood up, hearing Andri's explanation. Between believing and not believing in it. If you can see astral beings, Agus is used to this, because often see the television. Whether it was real or not, but Agus felt, it was common. But when anyone can hear your heart, it makes it ridiculous. Actually he did not believe it, but the incident last afternoon, made him ask questions. Is that really true? But when viewed from Andri's facial expression, it did not seem to lie. Thinking Andri is a santri trusted by the nanny, with her religious understanding is also not a little, it is impossible Andri told a lie.

"Indeed, what practice Paijo did," Agus was increasingly made curious, with the figure of Paijo.

"His ideal is not to eat rice, and his initial meal is lifeless. Like meat, and fish,"

"Not eating rice? But he had eaten rice with me" said Agus, when he remembered at the food stall this afternoon. Andri's words, seemed to explain, why Paijo ordered rice pecel. Before her, Agus thought, if the santri may prefer to eat vegetables, but it turns out there is a secret behind it. But for the rice, he doubted her a little. He clearly remembered, if Paijo had eaten rice.

"Because for not eating rice, she had already graduated. But to not eat a living thing, it still continues. He was waiting for the nanny's instructions. If the nanny had not received the instruction, she would not have dared to eat the living food,"

"Ooh... Did you?" Agus nodded in understanding.

"How long has he not eaten a living thing?" ask Agus.

"Huh? Fourteen years?" Agus was surprised, "Means he's been a long time, yes, in this boarding school?"

"About 35 years. When I came in here, all I know, he was a santri here for 20 years. After one year I was here, then Paijo did fasting ngerowot. He began not to eat rice, and the initial food was lively, and only allowed to eat vegetables only by the caregiver. That thing, to the point of making her skinny, even worthy of her skull. His body looks only bones and skin left. Three years after doing that, then he was allowed to eat rice by the caregiver, but not to eat a living food, still continued, until now," said Andri.

"Kok a babysitter?" agus asked in surprise.

"Sorry, it's not coercion. Caregivers used to give this practice, after they khatam taught the book of ihya' Ulumuddin. Caregivers only give, and the choice depends on the santri. All I remember at that time, there were about 387 students. One of them is Paijo," he said.

"387 santri? Not from the past, santri here has never been more than 20 people?" Agus asked, because he knew from the stories of the santri, that the santri here, had never been much, never even more than 20 people. Although santri continued to come and go, until this time.

"That's an invisible santri. Who's santri here, not just human,"

The deg!

Agus immediately felt something strange, when he heard the words that came out, from Andri's mouth.
