The Story of the Children of the Juragan
169. The challenge from Andre
Ronald and Romi were out of bed. Then lazily put on Koko's shirt and sarong. Both wear it. Buttons don't go into the hole they should. So impressed not neat. In addition, the gloves are rolled potluck, increasingly making their appearance chaotic.
The two walked towards the mosque in shaky steps, and occasionally yawned widely. Arriving at the mosque, the two became the center of attention. Because their appearance is very different. Some santri even giggled, because they could not hide the amused feeling of seeing their appearance.
Papa Andre rounded his eyes, when he saw the two like that. Approached him.
"Are you not ablution yet? And why are you dressed like this?" asked papa Andre, when he was near the two who sat while enduring the extreme drowsiness. Both of them raised their heads, then shook their heads weakly.
"Yes already, now you are ablution first. Let me take you to ablution."
"No need to ablude. Let's start praying. Because we're still sleepy, we're going to sleep again."
Papa Andre commented smilingly at Romi's reply.
"Once the tahajud prayer, we will muroja'ah letters. Continued with morning worship, then morning dhikr together and morning bath."
"What! Why so much?" Ronald and Romi protested.
"Have you not read the rules listed on the sheet I gave you yesterday?" ask papa Andre. The father and son pair immediately patted his eel. The rules were indeed in the form they had read yesterday.
With a gontai step, the two walked following papa Andre who walked towards the ablution. They immediately washed their bodies in an original manner. The first sensation they felt when his body was hit by a splash of water was, cold.
"Stop!" said papa Andre stopped his second movement from washing body parts.
"The ablution is to purify the limbs with water. And there are several ordinances in ablution. Don't you know yet?" again, Ronald and Romi shook their heads.
"Please, look at me."
Papa Andre rolled Koko's long arms up to the top of his elbow, then he also revealed the bottom of his glove.
Now he began to model the correct ablution movement on the father and son couple patiently.
"Well, you guys understand, right? Now please repeat again his ablution."
Both of them repeated the ablution movement. But until a few times, they still make mistakes. Finally papa Andre wudhu together with them, so that slowly the two can follow him.
"Please, trim your clothes" said father Andre when he saw the appearance of Ronald and Romi.
With lazy Ronald and Romi look at each other's appearance, which does look very untidy. Both also fix the buttons of clothes that are not neat, and roll the holster to be more neat.
Tahajud prayer begins. Haji Dahlan is back as a priest. Papa Andre stands between Ronald and Romi.
Throughout the prayer, the two continue to yawn, and indeed can not khusu'. Both of them just stand and do not follow the prayer reading read by the priest.
After the completion of the prayer, papa Andre gave knowledge about taharah. Haji Dahlan, who saw his son-in-law, explained to the two prisoners, coming closer. Inwardly he praised his son-in-law, for being able to absorb knowledge quickly. And now getting better at delivering.
"It's dong, sir. I swear, I'm so sleepy." great-granddaughter Romi in the middle of the explanation that papa Andre gave.
"If you're not excited like this, I'll make sure you stay here forever." said father Andre, who made the two round his eyeballs.
"What!" exclaim both. Haji Dahlan held back a laugh seeing the reaction of the two.
Living in a school is like living in a cage. Can't do as you please. What is there is even more tormented. That's what's on both minds.
"Okay, if we're diligent how long will it take for us to stay here?" ronald asked very curious.
"It all depends on the person. If the person never makes mistakes, always follows the rules of the cottage well, and can master all the material taught, maybe in just one year, can already get out of this cottage."
"What! Why is it that long?" ronald protested again, feeling unaccepted.
"Eat him, you should be excited. To be able to easily absorb the knowledge we convey. Who knows thanks to your persistence, in just one month can get out of here." replied papa Andre again accompanied by a smile.
"It could be Ronald who came out first, or Romi who came out first. Because you can get out of here, on your own efforts." said papa Andre again.
"How is this, Rom? Papa sure, you must be the first one who will come out of this hell." said Ronald with a cynical smile staring at his son.
"can't. Papa is too stupid. Obviously Romi will get out of here first" said Romi proudly.
Papa Andre deliberately said that to pump the spirit of the father and son in front of him. Haji Dahlan gave his thumbs up to his son-in-law, for his efforts.
