Asrul smiled broadly when he saw the entrance of Kun Billah's storehouse, although it had only been a few months since he last saw her but his chest was relieved to return to a place he could consider home.
"Priest Gus Mukhlas, this sister misses you.”
"Priest Gus Mukhlas, I thought we would meet today after you appeared in my dream last night..."
"Imam Gus Mukhlas, you don't come home one day I will follow you to Mallorca.."
As usual, Gus Mukhlas was surrounded by dozens of girls as he set foot into the paddle of Kun Billah. Taymiyyah just shook her head looking at all of this, these girls did not even care about the whereabouts of their master.
"Hey! Aren't you Asrul? A few months didn't see you get any better looking."
"Asrul, if you were my age, this brother would be willing to be your partner." The attention of some girls is distracted when they realize the change in Asrul caused by the aura of Sufism, indeed the aura of Sufism makes it more charismatic and charming. Asrul smiled awkwardly and quickened his pace.
"Ah, finally arrived home as well..."
Asrul ran a bit fast so he arrived first at the Holy Site Headquarters while Gus Mukhlas was still trying to escape from the group of girls.
Asrul frowned as he entered the Holy Site headquarters, he was astonished that the courtyard of the villa was so clean even though it had not been occupied for several months as if it was routinely cleaned every day.
"Someone lives at the Holy Site Headquarters? No way, this is against the rules of the store. Could it be that someone came to clean it every day? I don't think it was the girls, they were chasing after the teacher and giving him gifts but they weren't the girls who liked this kind of household business." Asrul stroked his chin trying to find the person in charge of the scene before him.
Amidst his daydreams, Asrul suddenly smelled the aroma of cooking coming from the kitchen of the Holy Site Headquarters. Asrul stepped into the kitchen and found a white-haired woman crouching to guard the pot.
"Who..."
Asrul's voice shocked the woman, he got up while turning his body quickly and pointed the stirring stick at Asrul.
"A, Asrul. You're back, I think you're gonna be up a little night.." When I recognized Asrul, the woman lowered the stirrer and smiled broadly at him.
Asrul narrowed his eyes then was slightly surprised, "Tante Wenny?! What happened to your hair?!"
The woman who was in front of Asrul was none other than Wenny, Gus Mukhlas' childhood friend and a member of the clergy who worked in the administration of the padepokan.
"It's..." Wenny touched her hair, there was a hint of sadness in her eyes, "It's nothing, there's no need for you to think about it. Your teacher's going home soon, isn't he? Then I'll say goodbye."
Asrul held back Wenny who intended to leave just like that, "Tante Wenny, why do you want to leave immediately? Master must be happy to see you and we have not thanked you for taking care of the Sacred Ground Headquarters as long as we are not in place."
"No need to thank me, I did it just because I had more free time." Wenny shook his head slowly, "I'm not feeling well, I'll see you guys later."
Asrul did not understand Wenny's attitude, but he wanted to know what happened with his hair because it seemed like the story behind it was not simple. It was just that he had no reason to restrain the girl.
Gus Mukhlas turned out to have returned and stood in front of the kitchen, as Wenny and Asrul left the kitchen, the two passed by him. Just like Asrul, Gus Mukhlas was surprised to see the changes to Wenny's hair.
Wenny smiled bitterly, "Priest Gus Mukhlas, I'm sorry..."
Wenny did not give any explanation, he ran away from the Holy Site Headquarters as fast as he could. Gus Mukhlas was too surprised to chase after him, he then looked at Asrul.
"Asrul what happened?"
"Teacher, the disciple also asked the same thing and has not yet got the answer."
Asrul explained he found the Sacred Site Headquarters kept clean and well-maintained before meeting Wenny in the kitchen. Asrul believes that Wenny took care of the Holy Site Headquarters during his time in Mallorca.
"Asrul, you must be exhausted after a long journey. Rest first, let the teacher find out what has happened." Finished saying so Gus Mukhlas left the Holy Site Headquarters.
Asrul shook his head slowly, among all the women in Kun Billah only Wenny could make his teacher behave like that. Asrul could see the concern and concern of Gus Mukhlas from the look in his eyes.
"I don't think it's hard to find the reason, I'll let the teacher find out first. If the teacher doesn't succeed then I act..." Asrul muttered softly, he then returned to the kitchen and finished the dishes that Wenny had previously prepared.
Gus Mukhlas returned a few hours later with a disheveled face, Asrul could see that there was anger emanating from his teacher's eyes.
"Teacher, have you found out what happened to Aunt Wenny?"
Gus Mukhlas let out a long sigh and nodded before telling his findings. Even though Gus Mukhlas doesn't get along very much but he has some friends in the store, in addition, he was also seen as a friendly Imam and willing to help other members of the church so it was not difficult for Gus Mukhlas to get the information he wanted.
It turns out that a few weeks after Gus Mukhlas and Asrul went to Mallorca, Khairul discovered that Wenny had a fairly close relationship with Gus Mukhlas. For this reason, Khairul complicates the work and life of Wenny in Kun Billah, he makes Wenny as an example to all members of the clergy so as not to have a relationship with Gus Mukhlas.
Khairul who was the temporary successor of the head of the padepokan easily moved Wenny from his duties in the administration of the padepokan. Khairul made Wenny perform some difficult and dangerous missions.
Had it not been for Wenny having high martial arts and including expert swordsmen, perhaps he would not have survived to this day. During one of Khairul's missions, Wenny was nearly killed. Wenny is assigned to pursue a swordsman who is a poison master, he fails to complete the mission and is exposed to dangerous poison.
Wenny managed to get back to the store and offered the poison with some resources but he suffered the side effect of all his hair turning white and losing half of all the energy in his possession, after all that happened, Khairul released him.
Wenny was not as talented as Gus Mukhlas, it took hard work and vigorous training for the girl to become an expert swordsman, that half of the inner energy he had accumulated with great difficulty was taken from him just like that.
Asrul became furious when he heard the story.
Asrul clenched his hands hard, from the beginning he did not like Khairul and now knowing the old man made it difficult for Wenny to make Asrul lose his patience.
