The Victimized Youth of the Ponpes
Abdurrahman Mubarok
*Day 2 of Ponpes Miftahul Huda*
That morning Farhan was walking around the cottage by himself, this time he visited the hut ikhwan area.
Farhan was immediately the center of attention again for the brothers who had just seen Farhan, because the first time they saw the figure of the victimized youth, the brothers also thought that the sacrificial youth was a new santri.
While touring the hut ikhwan area, Farhan met many brothers who were on the move. Starting from the washing and drying clothes, sweeping the cottage yard, and there are also silat exercises that morning.
"The area of the ikhwan lodge is more about than the akhwat cottage", Farhan's inner.
" Assalamu'alaikum ikhwan", and this time someone gave greetings to Farhan.
" Wa'alaikumussalam Warahmatullahi Westarakatuh" replied greeting Farhan turned body.
Turning around and looking at who was greeting him, Farhan saw the figure of a handsome young man in a scabbard and wearing long black pants like himself.
" Is this the new santri here?", asked the young man. But Farhan just smiled and shook his head.
"Oh not a new santri, is this brother old santri who plays to the cottage?", asked the young man again.
" What is Ustadz antum in this Miftahul Huda Ponpes?", Farhan immediately asked without answering the question of the young man.
"What's?. Hmm,, you could say, I am the teacher who teaches at this Miftahul Huda Ponpes", replied the young man.
" How many Ustadz have taught at this Ponpes?", asked Farhan again.
"There must be a favorite Ustadz in this Ponpes, how many people?", asked Farhan again.
" Ustadz is your favorite and most popular?. Hmm, there are his names Ustadz Ahmad, Ustadz Rendy, Ustadz Andi, and Ustadz Farid" replied the young man.
"Is antum part of them?", asked Farhan again.
" I dare not answer whether I am also among the most popular like them, you could say I am an assistant from 4 Ustadz earlier. If suppose one of them can not attend to teach, I am the one who replaces him" replied the young man.
"What about Rohman?", asked Farhan one last time.
" Senior Rohman?. Huff, he used to be one of the most favorite Ustadz in the Ponpes, but now somehow he's not considered by the students, whether it's the brothers or the spirits", obviously the young man.
Suddenly the look on Farhan's face that had been smiling at the young man, now became a scary face. The pressing aura from Farhan came out, he scrunched his forehead while looking intently at the young man. Surely the young man was very depressed and frightened to see so by Farhan, he did not dare to look Farhan in the eyes.
"Thank you, Assalamu'alaikum", Farhan went straight from there.
" Wa'alaikumussalam, Huh huh. O Allah, who was it?, his gaze was so serem, Astaghfirullah Hal'adzim Ya Allah", said the young man as he stroked his chest.
