Maura turned her head to her side and sure enough that Dewi Srikandi was already beside her, Dewi smiled looking at her and gestured to follow the kyai.
Maura secretly followed Kyai on the advice of Dewi Srikandi, Pak Kyai took a car that came to pick her up at the end of the alley of the house. Maura quickly stops a passing motorcycle and offers him a ride.
"Follow the car in front, sir!" maura pinta to kang ojek.
The motorbike was slippery overtaking cars and other motorcycles chasing cars in front of him that drove quite fast, their area is not a busy and jammed area, and the, so there is no busyness or congestion like in other big cities.
"Where was the car? How far is the road?!" asked Maura astonished.
"Where else are you going, Dek?! This is no longer a way, in front of the forest and plantation residents. And in that direction again there is the boarding house as well as the silat padepokan..
Where are you going, nyantri or want to garden? Buruan, this wants magrib yet?!" kang ojek was impatient.
"Hem, it is impossible for Mr. Kyai to enter the forest let alone go to the garden, it already wants this night" he murmured in his heart.
"Try to the boarding school, sir" said Maura quickly before kang ojek changed his mind.
"Handle ya, Deck! Want to speed a little, this has entered magrib already heard the sound of azan from the direction of the pesantren" said kang ojek.
Maura was aja, she also did not want to linger outside at dusk. Afraid of many astral beings coming out at that hour, moreover, he also had a chance to see a shadow jumping from one tree to another, beside them stopped.
Not long after, they arrived at a fairly large and wide boarding school, very beautiful because it was built on a hill and in the middle of the forest, away from the hustle and bustle of the capital.
As he headed for the boarding school he was treated to a beautiful sight all the way to the gate, even though the sky was getting dark, he still saw several flower gardens on the left and right side of the road to the pesantren gate.
Krieett!
The large door opened automatically, and Maura accidentally saw a Cctv camera and sensors next to the security post room. Maybe the gate was open because there was a sensor that recognized a foreign object in front of it and immediately opened to avoid collisions in front.
"Do you know that the gate can open on its own, sir?!" asked Maura curiously.
"I have often nganter santri or family and administrators here, so already memorized. This famous pesantren loh in this area even the whole area of this country knows this pesantren.
He said there are also many students from outside the area who are beautiful here, including those outside the country as well. Even just yesterday I was with some friends ojek nganterin young people who want to nyantri here, there is another bule. It's pretty!" kang ojek nyengir.
Maura did not respond to kang ojek's remarks he only ha ho ha ho, after traveling around for a long time they stopped in front of a very large mosque, which was very large, and there are some santri men running after congregational prayer time in the mosque so as not to miss.
"Sir, we pray first. It's time" said kang ojek.
"Yes, Sir!" answer Maura.
Kang ojek markirin motor not too far from the mosque and directly to the abudhu place, Maura also did the same.
There are some santriwati masters and some managers are also ustadzah who look surprised and maybe strange to see someone who is foreign to them follow prayers there.
Instead of being angry or not accepting, it's just that the mosque is prioritized for the residents of the pesantren that are there, even where they are very far from the settlement of residents, the mosque was not, so it is impossible if there are idiots or just stop by.
"Who is he?"
"Maybe new santriwati"
"Oh yeah, I also heard there's a new santri coming in"
That was about their chat before the time of congregational prayer, after the prayer finished Maura hurriedly went out and met the kang ojek, and Maura saw the kang ojek was chatting with Pak Kyai in front of the mosque courtyard, and Maura saw the kang ojek was chatting with the ojek, they look so familiar.
"Sir, here!" kang ojek waved his hand.
Maura approached her hesitantly, for a moment she became the center of attention for not covering her aura properly, her long hair with a beautiful little face made some male students not stop admiring her.
"Ehem! Keep view!" said one of the man santri's big sister's.
Everything immediately dispersed, while Maura accidentally looked at the santri builder, still looking young and handsome, there was a firmness behind the handsome face that was very suitable as a leader.
The man passed by leaving those who were still there, Pak Kyai smiled looking at Maura with that friendly and shady face as if waiting for him.
"I didn't think Maura would come here! Why didn't you just talk to me, Father?" ask Mr. Kyai kindly.
"Em, the intention was I wanted to see Sir!" maura said shamefully and embarrassed.
"Oh, it's okay. But it's already night, want to return again ushered with the Supri? If according to you anyway, just stay here tonight." said Mr. Kyai again.
"Can you, sir?" maura asked doubtfully.
"Could you, just a second. Mom, mom!" shouted Mr. Kyai calling a mother who just passed by.
"Yes, Sir. Why?" ask the mother with her chivalry.
"introduce this Maura, he's the adopted son of Miss Nela because she is staying at home. Now that the house is under renovation, please help him temporarily stay here" said Mr. Kyai.
"I'm in college, Mom.. Afraid of not being able to spend time between college and studying here, anyways.. There's no money, hehe!" said Maura low.
"Oh, the problem is easy. You can study for free every Saturday and Sunday!" the mother was excited.
"Em, yes ma'am. Later I try to think again.." said Maura sung.
"There is no need to hesitate here, Maura." said Mr. Kyai.
"Yes, mr. Kyai" Maura said again.
After paying his fare to kang ojek he immediately followed the mother earlier, fortunately in his jeans pocket there is still some money stored there.
"Son, Maura slept in this room tonight.. There is still one empty bed, three more residents, before going to bed take a shower first and come with us to dinner together well." said the mother was friendly and kind.
"Hm, where are the other students?" tanyanya.
"Oh, usually at this hour they are gathering in the hall while reciting some verses of the Qur'an before waiting for congregational prayer and continuing to eat dinner together" replied the mother patiently.
"Ooh.." said Maura while having a beard.
"Sir Maura if you want, you can follow pencak silat in the padepokan there. It still belongs to this pesantren, and Mr. Kyai Mustafa is directly in the lead." said the mother again.
"Sir Kyai Mustofa?" tanyanya was confused by the foreign name.
"That's the name of Kyai who spoke to you earlier, did you not know well Mr Kyai? Hehe." said the mother jokingly.
"Hehe, yes ma'am. I just met my day with Mr. Kyai. He was very friendly and kind, until I had not asked his name." said Maura embarrassed.
"Oh, it's okay. Kyai is like that person, no need to doubt he is a very good person, helping people selflessly and unmitigated, if it has helped people to completion.
For example, there are orphans who he went to school, then the child will be schooled free of charge by him to college. So many people he helped and succeeded in his hands, helping him back.
One of them is pesantren and padepokan, almost all the costs of their operational funds - those who help" said the mother again proudly told the kindness of Pak Kyai and his protege.
"Oh, the fun of telling stories is forgetting, hehe.. This is a change of clothes with hijab, if here the ukhti are required to close the aurat perfectly, is it not Maura? But we're not forcing you either." said the mother.
"Yes, Mom is fine.. I am also a Muslimah, is it not also my duty to close the law after adulthood? But I wasn't fully ready, probably only in this environment did I wear it." said Maura, bowing her face in shame.
"What's wrong, everything needs a process. It is better to be a little late than not at all, to learn a little later will have a lot of knowledge, and that consciousness will come by itself" replied the mother.
He left Maura there alone, not waiting for a long time he immediately cleaned himself up and changed his clothes. There were two beds that had attracted his attention, there was a blanket and cloth that he was very familiar with.
"Hem, that's impossible. It's just a coincidence.." he muttered while shaking his head.
Because of that he became reminded of his friends in the neighboring city, he longed for his friendship with Maurice and Kevin, Julian's silliness and the attitude of his grandfather Joanna. And of course the owner of the heart, Ardian..
"Meooong!"
The sound of a cat coming from the direction of the room, Maura came out and looked for the direction of the voice. He saw a white-haired Persian looking at him on the pillar of the building.
"Gerald?! Ah, there's no way! Lagian Gerald's a kind of Angora cat, which it's not. Astaghfirullah Maura, what are you thinking?! Be aware, he is calm on the side of the Almighty." he muttered while patting his cheek.
He was about to turn around suddenly stopped by the sound of the cat, that extremely adorable voice made him even more certain of what he was seeing.
"Maura, don't you miss me?!" his voice was a little softer than Gerald's original voice which had a baritone voice.
"Gerald?!" mura reflexes asked as she approached him.
"No, call me Gerry!" said the cat while jumping into Maura's arms.
"Haha, since when did your name become Gerry!" maura's carefree laughter while rubbing the fine fur.
"Here I reincarnated, born a few months ago. They call me Gerry, and remember I'm a manly and authoritative cat. Treat me with respect!" said the cat loudly full of authority.
"Good, Milord. Haha!" god Maura while mucking Gerry's face gnashed.
"Hey, treat me well!" gerry said riled.
If ordinary people see him Maura is playing with an ordinary cat who has been meowing, but in the hearing of Maura and people with special abilities can definitely hear the voice of the magical cat.
