Maura and Maurice looked straight ahead and tried to notice the direction of the voice in front of them, the growling sound was getting closer with some plants swaying like they were being touched by something.
"Hey, what are you doing there? Hurry up, Mr. Kyai will start his training!" they were suddenly startled by a voice from behind them.
It turns out that Nur and his gang, with their faces jutek he looked at these two people while watching Gerry did not like.
"If you want to care for cats in this pesantren, take good care should not be dirty, remember this pesantren must be clean and holy from all unclean!" sob again Nur.
He left Maura and Maurice after saying so, accompanied by his three friends. Gerry seemed to dislike Nur's words earlier, suddenly they again remembered with a growling sound from behind the trees beside them.
"There is nothing." said Maurice astonished.
"Maybe it's gone" Maura said.
"Of course he's gone, because he's as brave as the guy who looks weak in his eyes, if it's a race like that he wouldn't dare!" gerry weighed them.
"Do you know who or what it is?" ask Maurice curious.
"I know, because I've seen him a few times trying to disturb boarding kids who come out at night, he's brave if the guy is alone or two, he's brave, if more than that he does not dare" continued Gerry again.
"Why?" ask Maurice again.
"I don't know, maybe because he's a coward!" gerry replied while licking his fine feathers.
Because they do not want to be an obstacle to the exercise, the two walked quickly to the padepokan located next to the boarding house. From the pesantren they need to walk about two or three kilometers to the padepokan.
Pesantren and padepokan is only limited to vegetable gardens planted by the santri, while opposite the protected forest, under the forest is a highway, the only access to get out of the pesantren or padepokan.
Understandably, pesantren and padepokan were built on hilly land, if they want to get out they have to walk down the ramp or stairs that are there.
It is completely built for privacy and is far from the reach of the modern world and technology. Maura saw there were some male students starting pencak silat training, there were also murotal qur'an, or just observing.
The same thing was done by several other students.
Maura and Maurice walked over fearfully interrupting their training, once again Maura met and looked at the man's santri-building sister. His face was met red looking at the young man's friendly, handsome smile and his sweet smile.
"Why are you, how come your face is flushed like that?" ask Maurice astonished.
"So, there's nothing!" maura replied while blushing, making Maurice even more astonished.
As Maura wanted to once again stare at the young man, and.. His eyes unintentionally collided with someone from earlier looking at him with a sharp look.
That person pointed two fingers into his eyes and into Maura's eyes, in other words.
"I'm always watching you, keep your eyes on me!" that's what it means.
Maura just swallowed her rough saliva, she did not expect their meeting to start like that, Maura cursed her stupidity.
"Damn it!" objurgation.
"What?!" ask Maurice.
"Son, let's go there! Look at Nur his face is so sour" said Maura distract Maurice.
"You're right, hunt before we get sprayed again" Maurice said.
They listened to Mr. Kyai's welcome to all of them and introduced some new students in the store, especially students outside the cottage.
Mr. Kyai also introduced some of the administrators of the store, one of which was the young man and his name was Rizal, and Nur was also the manager of the store as well.
"It's only natural that he looks protective just like that." murmured Maura.
As they did some exercises, Ardian's gaze never escaped Maura, he seemed to be watching her the girl. While Maura who is aware is being watched looks uncomfortable.
Maura looks clumsy supervised by some people, Ardian in his protective attitude, Nur who is so fierce to teach him, not to mention Rizal's brother who secretly also stole a look at Maura.
And Maurice and Kevin were secretly giggling at her, making her really depressed. After two hours passed, finally the first training session was over as well.
Maura was very relieved, she was finally able to rest as well after being tired of being taught by Nur earlier. Whether there was a problem what Nur was with Maura, it seemed that the girl was just fierce to him.
"Ah, tired!" maurice.
After cleaning himself up, he immediately threw himself into his bed, and before long there was a soft snoring from him, it seemed like he was very tired.
Nur was very disciplined once, after returning to their room he asked his friends to clean up immediately, and just went to sleep. All obeyed his orders considering he was also one of the head of the santriwati group in the cottage.
Maurice and Lita have fallen asleep, Nur seems unable to sleep the same as Maura, if Maura thought where when she could not sleep, different from Nur, if Maura thought where she could not sleep, there was a melodious sound Nur taught in the room.
Nur and Lita sleep in the lower bed, while Maura and Maurice sleep in the upper bed, Maura sees Gerry entering the room and going up to Maura's side bed.
"Why haven't you slept? Sleep, here everyone wakes up early, some even wake up in the middle of the night to perform tahajud prayer" Gerry warned.
"I know, even I'd love to get to bed early. But I can't" said Maura, closing her eyes trying to sleep.
"Then I will keep you here until you fall asleep. Mm, how about you listen to me tell you a glimpse of me.
Think of it as a bedtime story, Maura.. Aren't you wondering how I reincarnated? I want to tell you about that.
Maura, after I died in that fight. My soul is locked inside a huge golden dome, I don't know what that place is. Suddenly I was approached by a group of creatures, half human and half animal.
They are a mixture of human horses, human eagles, human dragons, human lions and more.
Just one thing they had in common, their whole body was pure white with soft feathers beating the softness of my fur. Until their clothes, weapons and whatever was attached to their bodies were pure white, as gentle as a cloud.
They exude a very strong aura, full of authority and charismatic, they are the image of the leaders of the past, the last I heard they are their khodam, khodam kings of the past.
They approached me and said, I will be reborn and made a guardian knight, a protector for a human child who is fighting against the jinn and evil witches who still rule this world.
I know what they mean, I'm sure they're talking about you, Maura.. Of course I was happy, but I was reborn a few months later after the incident had passed.
And that includes being faster than my previous predecessors who were born years later to help and serve their leaders.
I'm really happy to see you guys again, especially with you, but unfortunately I was born a poor cat, not a noble cat anymore, huh!
Before I met Ardian and the others, I lived in that city. Eat from the mercy of passing men.
Sometimes other cats fight for food, or are colonized by uncivilized humans, doused in hot water and tied up.
I suffered from Maura, it was so hard for me to find you, until the day Ardian accidentally found me dying, almost starving to death with some wounds on my body.
After being well taken care of, I finally came back healthy, my body grew well and my feathers also grew longer, thick white clean and smooth.
As soon as my treasure became expensive in the eyes of those humans, they wanted to have me, fortunately Ardian was willing to take care of me and recognize who I am.
And I was well looked after by Maurice, and went and stayed at this boarding school, until we met, Maura.. I hope you-" she looks over at the person she's talking to.
Maura snores subtly asleep soundly, leaving herself to tell her own story. Gerry was really upset with Maura letting herself talk it out.
Below is also no longer heard the voice of Nur who is teaching, it seems he has also slept. As the time approached midnight, Gerry chose to sleep next to Maura.
