Santri Pekok
02

A Pondok Pesantren...

Andri, who is a pure honest and innocent santri, is a santri who obeys the Kiyai. If the Kiyai said A, then he would think nothing else, never the slightest bit of defiance or evasion from the Kiyai's orders.

The time of dawn has arrived, the sound of dawn reverberating adhan filled the universe. After the dawn, Andri ran to wake up his friend.

"Lay..Wake up Lay," Andri shook his body, waking up his friend.

"Hmmm.... Still sleepy." Well, this one is called paijo, a santri who has a fairly complicated background.

******

Paijo is the only child of a distinguished family. His father was a successful businessman in his city, even with the wealth he had, he was able to conquer everyone in his city. While the mother, is a wife who is good at financial meminige, no wonder.

Paijo was born in a family of wealth. People in the city, call it the "Blue-Bloody Family". As a former minister, Paijo's mother wanted her son to become a state official, Paijo's mother wanted her son to become President. It may sound excessive, considering Paijo is a standard iq person, but that is the reality, Paijo's mother forced her son to become president.

Because he felt depressed by the words his mother said every morning, afternoon, evening, Paijo so lazy to finish every lecture material. His daily life is just fun, drinking until unconsciousness, taking drugs, using methamphetamine and heroin.

Paijo has fallen into a black world without edges, even he was entangled with toys of women, and menhadi crazy man***, until one of his women became pregnant, and one of his men became pregnant, and be held accountable.

Frustrated with the problems he faced, he ended up taking drugs with a big jumblah, and made him crazy until he had to be put into prison to follow rehabilitation.

After 1 year in prison, Paijo finally recovered from his drug addiction, and he was converted, quit his bad nature, learn back on the right path.

Paijo came out of Lapas, carrying a thousand million regrets, he wanted to go home to see his parents. How surprised Paijo, when he arrived at the place that once stood a luxurious building like a palace, which was none other than the home of his parents, has now disappeared, flat on the ground.

Paijo fell limp, it seemed like everything was too late, he did not know what had happened during his time in Lapas, nor did he know where his parents were going. Paijo found nothing, all that was before him was the rubble of the rest of the magnificent building, which used to be his residence with parents who were annoying to him.

The feeling of regret is growing, as if a burden in the head. But Pijo has not been desperate, he tried to ask the neighbors around, to find out the whereabouts of his parents, he wanted to apologize, because he had previously been a useless ungodly child.

After getting information from his neighbors, Paijo sat limp while squeezing his head rough, crying was useless. Paijo grieved deeply, knowing that his parents had gone to the afterlife, he grieved over the deaths of both parents with no known cause.

Paijo comes to a public funeral, to see the last house of his parents. Because he could not pray'a or read the do'a, Paijo could only shed tears, sitting between two mounds of earth, which was none other than the tomb of his parents.

Regret is always present at the end, but what is the meaning of regret, without any action to change better, rise from a misleading ugliness.

Paijo wants to return to his parents, he plans to study religion, in order to pray for his parents. Paijo decided to go nyantri in a boarding school.

"Lay.. wake up Lay,"

"Yes.". "lazily, Paijo sat down, rose from his sleep, but his eyes were still closed.

"Temenin me dong Lay...." Andri sat down and waited for Paijo's eyes to open, because if the blum opened, usually Paijo would sleep again, when Andri left him.

"Temenin.... " Paijo scratched his head, then yawned.

"Pokonya.... " Andri is still faithful, waiting for Paijo's eyes to open.

"Hemmn.... " Paijo finally opened his eyes, then got up, moved from his place. Andri got up, because he knew that Paijo would go to the bathroom, and would definitely pray together.

Andri returned to the mosque, while waiting for the imam to come. Andri tertundik tertundim, when he found Sang Kiyai has stood behind the place of belief. Andri immediately beriqomah, to start the morning prayer. He called the morning prayers only with the priest, who was none other than the caretaker of the pesantren he occupied.

"Aami..... " Paijo immediately accelerated, then joined beside Andri, to perform worship in congregation. Paijo left behind 1 roka'at.

Paijo became ma'mum masbuk, that is what is called for the makmum who left behind the priest roka'at. Paijo is often late, even. sometimes he arrives, when the priest has sat the final superstition.

"Assalamualsikum warohmatulloh. "the priest reads the greeting while looking to the left, which indicates the prayer has ended, but Paijo stands again, to replace the roka'at left behind.

The Imam turned his body, facing the makmum, then only heard the sound of istighfar and the head, when he saw the santri jumblah following the morning congregation.

The priest continued the dhikr, then closed with Do'a. Andri shone his hands and kissed the back of Sang Kiyai's palm, when the Do'a was over, which signified that the rutinan ritwal religion was over.

"Please wake up, the one who sleeps on the porch, have him perform the morning prayers!" the soft voice of the middle-aged man ruled Andri, before standing up, then leaving the mosque.

"With all due respect to Mr. Kiyai," Andri nodded unmeasuredly, obeying the orders of the Kiyai.

Andri waited for Sang Kiyai's body to pass, then he moved. Unlike Paijo, he immediately left along with Sang Kiyai who went to leave.

Andri got up and walked, towards the front porch.

"Mas... get up, it's afternoon," Andri just stood next to the body of someone who slept on the terrace floor of the mosque. Because it did not get a response, Andri took the initiative to shake the person's body.

"Mas.. woke up.. " politely, Andri shook the body of the person who was sleeping, he would not stop waking up before it succeeded, because it was already the order of Sang Kiyai. Once Sang Kiyai pronounces A, then abstain for him to turn, well.

Who the hell, this guy? I don't think it's people around here, neither is santri.

Andri looked at the body, he felt that the person was a stranger, who had no idea where it came from.
