The Power of a Prayer

The Power of a Prayer
CHAPTER 40 KSD_Sweet Acidic Boiler


Arriving at ndalem I immediately put a blanket as a bed. Iza stopped by first to ndalem because in the Abah bucket.


Pov Iza


"Za to ndalem ya" Abah called me who was sitting beside the well with Nera, we just stood there bowing when Abah was rawuh.


"Nggheh Bah."


Then Abah came in again and I followed him, while Nera sat back where she was.


Abah sat on the sofa, and then I sat down on the floor next to the sofa where Abah was sitting. More precisely my uncle.


"How's Bah?"


"This is a delivery from your father. Ever since you got to know Nera your life has been better. You seem to wake up and wake up from the slump."


"Suggeh Bah, Alhamdulillah."


"This is your father's leave for Nera as well, your father feels very grateful to Nera and this as his gift. But don't say too much detail, fear it could offend, just say souvenirs."


"Nggheh Bah."


"It."


"Ngggeh Bah" I got up from my seat and took three steps back then turned around and walked.


"To the dining room meet your aunt, it was cooking sour shrimp sweet."


"Nggheh Bah."


The aunt Abah meant was Umi. Actually I was hesitant to remember my behavior all this time, I just fell silent at the kitchen door to see Umi who was washing dishes.


"What's the matter?" Ask Umi to me.


"Assalamualaikum Mi" I kissed the back of his right hand, then his palm, back again to his back.


"So not salim same Uncle" suddenly Abah was behind me.


"Hehee" I chuckled then salim at Abah. Abah is still my mahram because of my father's biological sister.


"It's Mi, bring two of her vets to eat with Nera."


"Oh, there's also Tenera telling me to eat here."


"The Ngggeh Mi."


I called Nera to the back, because we slept in the dorm behind the ndalem. Regular in short BN.


...***...


"Ra let's get in the Umi bucket" Iza said.


"There's a problem with what I'm carrying around."


"There is a windfall for us."


"Well, the spirit then."


I was surprised to be suddenly invited to ndalem by Iza what else Umi asked. This is a very rare thing, even when the holidays are also never called to ndalem.


I followed where Iza was going.


It turns out true, I was directed to the dining table that has been served white rice in accompanied by shrimp whether in the cook I have not tasted, equipped with fresh fruits.


"Please enjoy my son" Umi invited me who was standing in the doorway.


Iza was already sitting while pouring water into the glass.


"The Ngggeh Mi."


With great pity I finally sat down beside Iza.


"This era that vacation does not come home" said Umi.


"The Ngggeh Mi."


"Other times if you don't go home messing around to ndalem don't just stay in the dorm."


"The Ngggeh Mi."


Finish eating, wash the dirty marks, then go back to bed.


Time shows ten o'clock over twenty-seven minutes according to the watch that is coiled in my left arm.


"Ra, tomorrow's vacation you go home or at the cottage again?" Ask Iza to me.


"God willing in the cottage again Ma'am."


"If you're in the cottage again I'll follow ya."


"Yes Ma'am, friends until you want to come along is also okay to be crowded."


"There, the Arum said he wanted to feel the holiday in the cottage."


"Try me later to take Ida and Rani, who knows what to do."


"Yes, hopefully it's more crowded" Iza pulled her blanket to sleep.


...***...


Time shows at two o'clock thirty-seven minutes early in the morning. Usually half three has been awakened by Madam Janggem cooking preparation.


"Sir, let's cook" suddenly Madam Janggem stood beside the well. "If not already tahajjud, then tahajjud yes."


After my tahajjud I and Iza headed for the kitchen, there were already two Mbak Janggem and santri Mts.


"Sir, please in the eggplant like an example yes" Mbak Janggem ordered me.


Without responding to his words I immediately took out a knife to slice the eggplant.


"Neng Iza washes rice yes."


"Yes, Mother."


Iza lifted the bucket containing rice to the laundry. There are several buckets that must be washed because to fill approximately four thousand stomachs.


I myself cut the eggplant with two children Mts until the order to stop.


"Mbak Nera, what's cooking?" A familiar voice greeted me.


"Eh, Mia. Yes, if you don't cook anything else here."


"If you know how to cook, last night I slept together" said Mia again.


"When I cook I'll find you."


"Mother that's Kang Dhani."


I immediately turned around, sure enough Dhani is still the dawn. Though ta'ziran for me only one Sunday but for Dhani almost half a year.


"Oh, this is Ma'am Nera whose boyfriend Kang Dhani after all" said santri Mts friend Mia.


"Yes Ret, they are very handsome and beautiful."


"Yes yes, but I'm sad."


"Why?" Ask me wonder.


"I can't handle Kang Dhani anymore."


"Ret what's your name?" I hold the shoulder of her friend Mia.


"Retno Mbak" he said still bowed.


"You can still ngefans, that's a sign you're fond of right?" Ask Retno.


I'm just worried that this case will be the same as Marissa's. If just liking or loving does not cause problems I personally do not matter.


"Yes, Mother."


"Dhani is a lot of love from the past, so you can still be fond."


"Oh yeah, it means you know Kang Dhani for a long time?"


"It has. If you want to get to know Dhani, you have a vacation here. Holidays after exams inshaallah don't come home."


"Kok You know?"


"Yes, the Eid al-Adha Mbak Nera holiday is the same as any other holiday in Pondok Ret."


"Really Ma'am?" Retno's eyes sparkled, she was very happy.


"Yes, later if Dhani doesn't have a vacation here I'll tell you again."


"Ready Ma'am, I became ngefans until then too. The guy's good."


"Yes Ret, Mbak Nera is good, even though I am evil but Mbak Nera has already sorry me before I apologize" Mia chimed in.


"One more thing, bad good I'm a person who feels, so you feel first I'm good whether not, do not just judge people. Good for Mia isn't necessarily good for you."


"There's just this Mother" Retno never stopped smiling.


After the dawn adhan we took turns praying, and continued to help prepare the meal.


At five or less eleven minutes all is ready, we just wash the dirty traces of the rest of the cooking while waiting for the santri who will take the rations.


...***...


Everyone had taken their breakfast rations, it was time for me and Iza to return to the dormitory.


"Sir, stop by the cooperative and buy ice cream."


"Ready!"


Just ice cream, after buying ice cream back to the dorm.


Arriving at the dormitory, the atmosphere was a little quiet. Only some students watch TV, the rest are studying because tomorrow is an odd semester exam.


I want to take a shower but the bathroom is still full, usually on Friday the bathroom is empty.


While waiting for the empty bathroom I sat down casually in the small garden in front of the bathroom while finishing the rest of my ice cream.


"Ra, you were told to cook" suddenly Tifa Santri MA approached me with Rinda.


"Whom did you tell me?" Ask me.


"You got ta'ziran" he said a little loudly.


"Which tyrant?" My feeling is like a trap, because these two weeks I'm not fighting.


Ta'ziran that I always get because of the birth results, not breaking the rules or not doing the activities of the cottage. Half a year of my piety about being born, the rest is safe.


"Jama'ah's plate last night" Tifa said.


"Feelings last night I'm jama'ah deh" my inner.
