After the Isya prayer, Anna sat on her bed while waiting for the evening class. Anna repeated the vocabulary and lessons Umm Zahra had taught her this afternoon.
"Anne." Fitri called Anna.
"Yes, what's wrong?" ask Anna.
"Can you accompany me to drop off some dirty clothes? ask Fitri.
"Where's the place? can I go there tonight?" anna asked scared out of the cabin especially it was already night.
Anna was afraid of breaking the rules of the cottage because she could not go out carelessly, Anna remembered Adnan's message that forbade her from going out and made her worry. Abi also advised Anna not to let him down.
"Only to the security guard house, we are not prohibited there. Besides the front fence of the cottage is always guarded by security guards where maybe we can get out." Fitri assured Anna.
"Oh, alright." replied Anna and immediately got off her bed.
"Bring your dirty clothes, so tomorrow we can both take it." said Fitri reminded Anna.
"I want to wash my own clothes, after washing new in between to iron." replied Anna.
"Oh, yes, let's go." said Fitri.
After getting out of the dorm they meet Aini.
"Where are you guys going?" ask Aini.
"You're dropping off dirty clothes" Fitri replied.
"I'm coming along" said Aini offering herself.
"Tomorrow." replied Anna and Fitri simultaneously.
The three of them walked to the Satpam house serving washing services and ironing santriwati clothes. There are two Satpam houses that are directly opposite the cottage owner's house.The distance between the cottage owner's house and the security guard is about 80 meters. There are Mango trees and Matoa trees between the two houses facing each other. the right left of the house of the owner of the cottage and security guard there is a barrier, to maintain the security of students and teachers who live in the dormitory complex.
Before visiting the first fence they fill the travel list first spelled picket.in front of the cottage office guarded by picket teachers.
Santriwati was allowed to go out with the aim of the Satpam house until 21.00 every day.by that hour santriwati was not given permission to go out with any purpose and reason.
"Have you delivered Aini's dirty clothes?" ask Fitri.
"No, I just asked for an iron, I washed it myself" replied Aini.
"Why not just wash it?" ask Fitri.
"Let's be more frugal." answered Aini.
"How much pocket money are you given each month?" ask Fitri on Aini.
"Not necessarily, but it is always enough for the ironing costs and the needs of my snacks, until my parents come to visit again." replied Aini.
"Have you ever been short of money?" Ask Fitri on Aini.
"No." answered Aini.
"If Anna must not know her monthly money, she's only been here two days, snacks in her closet are still a lot" said Fitri who saw the contents of Anna's closet, when Anna opened it.
Anna's closet, which is only three shelves, one shelf at the bottom, is filled with packages of snacks that Danu bought yesterday and where Anna put her dishes, Anna's second shelf contains a hanger, stock of toiletries, and the, special powder and boxes of underwear. Anna's third shelf contains Anna's clothes and hijab. For books are always stored in a bag and placed on top of the bed.
"Well, tomorrow you can get free snacks from Anna if you get hungry again" said Aini teasing Anna.
"May, as long as you teach me to study the cottage books every day." replied Anna with a laugh.
"Would his snacks also be every day dong?" ask Aini while laughing.
"Yes." Yeah." Answer Anna.
Anna doesn't mind her out-of-stock snacks. Anna still has money to buy it. Money from Adnan's sister, Ummi Inah, Bunda Yani is still stored in Anna's wallet. then Umm Salma also slipped the pocket money for Anna as much as five hundred thousand.
With that money Anna could use to get Science from her friends.
"I also want to be your teacher" said Fitri did not want to miss Anna's snacks.
"May, tomorrow we begin to learn, I will ask often." replied Anna.
"And we are willing to answer." said Fitri and Aini simultaneously.
Anna read a small inscription taped to the wall of the security guard house, information on the price of laundry and iron in units of kilo grams taped to the wall.
"Thank God it's not expensive." Anna's inner.
They'll be heading home to the dorm gate soon. When they almost reached the gate of the dormitory, There was a car entering the house of the owner of the cottage, they had stopped their steps to see the car that entered. they could not see who was in the car because the light hit their eyes.The person sitting in the car saw the three of them.
They immediately entered the dormitory area. Anna and Aini have an evening study schedule.they take the bag and go to class to study tonight.
Studying tonight guided by the ustadzah who lives in the hut environment, Anna still has not mastered reading the book cottage using Arabic script and does not have lines. Anna only focused on listening to ustadzah explain and record the explanation of ustadzah sometimes use Arabic sometimes use Indonesian.
Ustadzah appointed santriwati to read their handbooks in turn. Anna lowered her head so the ustadzah wouldn't point at her until the evening lesson was over.
The lesson was finished Anna was called to face Ustadzah and the other santriwati was able to leave the classroom.
Anna and Ustadzah face each other at the endadzah. Anna was asked to take a chair so she could sit in front of her.
"You're a graduate of Tsanawiyah?" ask Ustadzah.
"No, I graduated from Junior High." replied Anna.
"In this cottage all graduates Tsanawiyah, so they can continue their school at the Aliyah level. Don't you have trouble learning?" ask Ustadzah.
"I have a hard time.I haven't even been able to see the handbook that the cottage has given me." replied Anna.
"Do you want to continue studying here or move?" ask ustadzah.
"I want to go on. I'll try." replied Anna.
"Good, don't be afraid if told to read, you have to dare to try" said ustadzah gave Anna motivation to continue studying.
"Can I study privately in an ustadzah house?" ask Anna.
Ustadzah seemed to think and consider Anna's question.
"Can, I'll take some time for you" replied the ustadzah.
Anna smiled at the reply of the ustadzah.
"I ask to be taught every Friday until the week after the asar prayer, can the ustadzah?" ask Anna
"Yes, fine." replied the ustadzah.
Anna was delighted to have a private tutor for her unskilled cottage lessons.
Ustadzah invites Anna to come out first. Anna nodded. Anna picked up her bag and immediately walked out of the classroom.
Aini sat on the lowest staircase waiting for Anna to come out of the classroom. Anna sees Aini and approaches her.
"I thought you were home, come home" said Anna, who was standing next to Aini.
Aini embraces Anna's shoulders. They look familiar and affectionate to each other.The two walk towards the dormitory.
"What are you talking about with the ustadzah?" ask Aini.
"Ustadzah motivated me to study hard.I also asked ustadzah to teach me every Friday, Saturday and Sunday afternoon." replied Anna.
"You don't have an afternoon off?" ask Aini.
"For a while not first, it's pretty if you're shopping out you know yes, I want a nitip." replied Anna.
"Alright. don't force yourself too much, the result will not be good" said Aini.
"Yes, I just want to try and try." replied Anna.
For Anna to give up is not the solution of her choice after changing schools.however all options must have risks that must be ready to live. Anna just needs to hone her skills.try her best even though the class champion category she dreams of may never get during her studies at the cottage.
