After the Dzuhur prayer congregation in the Mosque, Farhan and Uthman will soon return to Pak Kyai's house, they plan to rest for a while before it will start a long journey.
Starting from the start of the Dzuhur Prayer and until the completion of the Dzuhur Prayer, Uthman became the center of attention and conversation in the Mosque because the sound of his adhan was very melodious, and it made Uthman a little uncomfortable.
"Hmm,, mas Farhan, is it true that only once is the Adzan, not the Ashar Adhan later? ", asked Uthman doubtfully.
" Why, why, do you want another prayer?", asked Farhan.
"No mas, no need, hehe, enough 1 time" replied Uthman hurriedly for fear of being told to the Adhan again by Farhan.
" Come back" said Farhan directly wearing footwear and began walking away from the mosque.
"Yes mas" answered Uthman hurriedly following Farhan.
Farhan knew the condition made Uthman uncomfortable, so Farhan immediately invited Uthman to return home.
In the place of religious prayer, many Ustadzah were peering at Uthman from behind the window, and Bu Nyai only shook his head because he saw the attitude of the Ustadzahs, they are like wild animals that are targeting their prey and ready to be hunted, the Ustadzah seems to have been eyeing Uthman to get it.

...****************...
Arriving home, Farhan headed straight for his room to rest for a while. While Uthman headed to the bathroom to wash the cloth covering his face, he felt that his cloth gave off an unpleasant smell he immediately thought to wash it, he immediately thought to wash it, because the weather is hot so it will dry quickly because Uthman just wash the cloth.
After washing the cloth Uthman will open the back door, he does not want his face to be seen by the santri who passed in front of Pak Kyai's house.
But even so he still peeked when opening the back door, even though the back area of the house was also close to the dormitory, he was afraid there would be a hysterical newspaper when he saw his face, he is also careful.
Feeling safe and quiet, he ran towards the clothesline and immediately dried the cloth, then rushed back inside.
"Huh huh huh,,, safe,, Alhamdulillah", said Uthman a little ngosan.
Because he had washed the cloth and dried it, Uthman walked into his room and was about to rest anyway, because he felt his eyes were sleepy he could not hold it anymore.
...****************...
After the two young men rested, a silent atmosphere again enveloped the house. Aunt Anjani also went straight back to the hall to discuss some matters with the Ustadzahs, but it seemed like the theme had changed after Uthman adzan, who was in the first place, aunt Anjani was even more dizzy because the Ustadzah asked various things about Uthman.
Now the clock has shown at 2 pm, the day is also very hot, the cloth dried by Uthman has also dried.
But the two young men were still resting and no one was awake yet, they were like enjoying the soft mattresses of uncle and aunt for the last time, they were very comfortable with the mattress.
"Assalamu'alaikum"
In the quiet atmosphere there were those who opened the door and said greetings, but the atmosphere was very quiet like there was no one, the person who entered it was Pak Kyai, he just returned from the village to take care of the remaining problems.
Seeing the quiet condition of the house, Mr. Kyai felt lonely as well, he saw the entire room and his gaze looked at the sofa, he saw there were 2 large bags on the sofa.
"Huffff,,, the two of them may rest again because they will leave later" said Mr. Kyai sighed.
Although the relationship of Mr. Kyai and his nephews is not too close but he also feels sad if his nephew will leave the cottage soon.
Mr. Kyai walked slowly to the folding mattress beside the sofa, he sat down slowly and began to lie down.
Slowly starting to close their eyes and fall asleep, a heavy fatigue caused Pak Kyai to fall asleep comfortably, even a faint snoring sound.
...****************...
For a long time Mr. Kyai's house had no activity and only silence, even the santri who passed in front of the house also thought that Mr. Kyai had not returned home.
Now the clock shows at 14:45 AM local time, soon to enter Ashar time, and the two room doors almost open simultaneously, and Farhan and Uthman appear out of their respective rooms.
"Where's your cloth?", asked Farhan coldly.
" Oh yes, I still sun the mas, this afternoon before going to bed I wash the cloth first, the smell" Uthman explained. He went to the back and would take the cloth cover his face, felt already dry because the weather was hot again.
Seeing Uthman walking to the back, Farhan also immediately prepared and headed straight for the front room to check the items in his bag.
...****************...
...****************...
In the front room, Farhan sees that Uncle Zaki is asleep, he seems exhausted from taking care of the remaining problems, but Farhan also remains expressionless, after a moment of watching the uncle who was still asleep, he also did not intend to wake him.
Farhan immediately headed for the sofa to check his bag back, if any of his belongings were still left behind.
Feeling that everything was complete and that no one was left behind, Farhan immediately carried his bag and walked towards the door.
"Come to the mosque first for Ashar prayer congregation" said Farhan opened the door.
Farhan learns that behind him there is Uthman who has returned with a cloth cover of his face.
" Yes mas", replied Uthman also briefly check his belongings and immediately followed Farhan out.
...****************...
...****************...
...****************...
This time Uthman did not return the Adhan, even though there were many students and even the Ustadzah waiting for Uthman to chant his adhan again but it was not.
Mr. Kyai who was awake when he heard the Adhan from the Mosque also immediately prepared and went straight to the Mosque...
......................
......................
And the sad moment began after the Ashar Prayer, where Bu Nyai hugged his two nephews tightly in front of the santri with tears dripping, Nyai ma'am doesn't want her niece to leave the cottage.
Likewise with Mr. Kyai, although he did not cry like Miss Nyai but he also felt the same, although not so close to his nephew he tried not to break contact with them.
There are even santri who shake hands with Farhan because they already feel that Farhan is their teacher and their Ustadz in Pondok although originally Farhan himself is not an Ustadz.
Though Farhan also only taught small things to some students, but for them it was a very valuable lesson from Farhan.
"Take good care of yourself, take care of your health" said Aunt Anjani.
" Yes bi", Farhan and Uthman briefly replied.
Just as there was a santri, Farhan and Uthman kissed the hands of uncle and aunt...
Farhan momentarily looked towards his uncle and aunt, seeing the uncle who sighed and resignedly, looking towards the aunt who put on a forced smile to cover up her grief.
"Assalamu'alaikum all,, we both say goodbye first, hopefully we can meet again someday" said greetings Farhan and Uthman say goodbye.
" Wa'alaikumussalam Warahmatullahi Jabarakatuh Ustadz Ustadz, Ustadz Farhan", replied the greetings of the santri.
The two sacrificed young men just smiled at the name, they turned around and began to step towards the gate of the cottage.
"Farhan,, Uthman", the aunt certainly seemed sad to see her two nieces begin to disappear from her sight.
...****************...
...****************...
...****************...
In front of the gate of Pondok the two sacrificial youths paused for a moment, then looked at each other and smiled slightly behind his white turban.
"Good way, mas, take good care of yourself, hopefully we can meet again" said Uthman.
" Good look after Uthman" said Farhan.
The two young men took a different path, Farhan walked to the left and Uthman to the right,,,, and,,,,
...----------------...
.
Shortly after Farhan and Uthman left, a scalloped man wearing the same white cloth as Farhan and Uthman was seen wearing a white turban.
"Actually I miss very much you are Farhan, but the time is not now" said the man.
The figure of the guy who was smiling just saw the departure of Farhan and Uthman, then he stepped into the Pondok Pesantren Darul Musthafa.
...----------------...
...----------------...
From a distance Farhan and Uthman only smiled faintly, they both of course felt from the presence of the figure of the guy with the sneak, and they recognized him.
