The Victimized Youth of the Ponpes
Towards the Second Stop
*Muftahul Huda Boarding School*
Mr. Kyai's House
Mr. Kyai was sitting on the porch of the house drinking a cup of warm tea, along with his beloved wife.
"It seems like Azizah came home today from her studies in the city? ", ask Kyai sir.
" Yes, it has been 3 months Azizah has studied at the Faculty of Islamic Religion in the city, and according to the schedule she should go home to Pondok today" replied Nyai's mother.
"May he reach the cottage safely" said Mr. Kyai.
"Aamiin", replied Nyai.

*In the train*
Because the journey to the second stop was so far away and took so much time, the veiled woman sitting in front of Farhan was sleeping on her long bench. Because it is the bench facing the one sat by the veiled woman and Farhan is quite long, so it can be made to lie down.
Farhan who had seen the scene outside the window, slowly looked towards the veiled woman sleeping in front of him.
"Hmm, this ukhty was riding at the first stop, there was a large Faculty, and he took this train to get off at the last stop,,, and,, there is Pondok Pesantren Miftahul Huda owned by uncle Hashim. So, most likely this ukhty is one of the santri in Ponpes Miftahul Huda who achieves to be promoted in a large Faculty, uncle must be proud to have great students like this ukhty", farhan said inwardly with a smile and then looked back at the scene outside the window.
"Now at 9, it may arrive at the second stop at 11, two hours away. And after a short stop, this train will go directly to the last stop, namely the Jaya Youth Station, if it is expected to arrive at the Station at 2 pm, there is still time for Dzuhur Prayer ", farhan continued looking at the clock on his HP.

*Miftahul Huda Boarding School*
The Ikhwan Cottage Area
Rohman and Budi were walking towards the mosque...
" Oh, man, you said you were thinking of someone you thought was your brother, who was that person?", asked Budi.
"Hmm, if I'm clear it'll be the length of the story" Rohman replied.
"She's in a distant place with her parents, I don't know when she'll be here again?" Rohman said.
" He's santri here too?", asked Budi.
For a moment Rohman stopped his steps, and so did Budi...
"He is more than santri here, he is the nephew of Mr. Kyai" said Rohman.
" Ma Shay Allah, his nephew Pak Kyai?. I have never seen him here?", said Budi.
"When he was little, he was here, and he kept both his parents away from the Ponpes, he left before you came here" said Rohman, and Budi nodded in understanding.
Then they walked back to the Masjid Pondok...
*-------------------*
*Ponpes Miftahul Huda Mosque*
Rohman and Budi immediately took off their sandals and went into the mosque,,,
"Assalamu'alaikum,,, "
When they want to enter the mosque, there are those who say hello to Rohman and Budi. They both turned around.
"Wa'alaikumussalam", answered Rohman's greeting and Budi turned his body.
" O Ani, what is it?", asked Rohman to the person who called him.
"Hmm, I'd like to ask. When did Azizah come home?", asked the person named Ani, one of the female students in Ponpes Miftahul Huda.
" Oh yes, if it's not wrong he came home today" Rohman replied.
"Right?, when did he get to the cottage?", asked Ani.
" I don't know when he gets to the cottage, maybe it'll be noon or it'll be afternoon" Rohman replied.
