The trip to the pesantren from the foundation does not take long. Arriving home, the house people were also still in the boarding school, so Wafa was safe that morning.
"Alhamdulillah, Abi and Mbak Sari are still in the pesantren. I have to hurry. Afraid they go home, even I was found out not yet anything," inner Wafa.
When Wafa took a careful step, apparently Sari was beside the wall of Wafa's room which was next to Wafa's room was the living room.
"Just home?" sari asked folded her hands. It was very clear what Sari was hinting at that time.
"Assalamu'alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh, mbak ..." greetings Wafa, nervous.
"Wa'alaikumsallam warahmatullahi wabarakatuh. Where have you been? Come home at this hour, is it good if girls at this hour come home?"
Although Sari always spoke in a soft tone, but that morning sounded so firm because Wafa did make a mistake. Go last night and go home in the morning. It was a bad example for a village girl like Wafa. Moreover, Wafa a lot that makes himself a motivation.
"Wafa, answer me, dong!" sari Degrees.
"Nginep at the foundation, Ma'am," replied Wafa bowing his head.
"Before that, where were you?" Sari seemed to know what her sister was doing.
"Wafa, Wa-Wafa just …."
"Assalamu'alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh" said Kyai.
"Abi doesn't know this yet. Quickly enter, and explain to mbak later after you finish college. Don't run, okay?" sari Degrees.
Wafa just nodded slowly.
"Wa'alaikumsallam warahmatullahi wabarakatuh. Abi's home yet?" welcome Sari, immediately changed 180 degrees face when welcoming the arrival of Kyai.
Although Sari was always strict with Wafa, still Sari loved Wafa sincerely. Even Sari had never felt jealous of Wafa in the slightest. Yes, how to be envious if Kyai always wants to unite Sari number before Wafa.
Since childhood, Wafa always succumbed to what Kyai gave him. It is not a matter of fairness and unfairness. It's just that, indeed Sari is always paid special attention. His weak body must be guarded. Different from Wafa. His physique was so strong that he rarely got sick.
Wafa used to be an active girl. It's just that, after becoming a teenager, Sari always demanded that her sister should be more polite again. To reflect that he is a child of Kyai. Sari herself actually also had a ridiculous attitude as well. But, since it should be demanded gracefully as the daughter of a priyayi, so she should be meek in front of anyone.
"Bak Sari knows I'm gone. But why does he always hide the mistakes I make? The way Mbak Sari protects me is not good," Inner Wafa.
"Hm, let it go. This morning I have to get to college. If you're not in a hurry, I'd love to know why Ustadz Zamil. Unfortunately, I have to leave immediately" said Wafa, busy justifying her headscarf.
Wafa admired ustadz Zamil since he was still his student. Ustadz Zamil is almost three heads old as well. He has been living since he was 10 years old in the pesantren. His gallant body and also his good religious knowledge make Wafa admire him.
"Wafa, are you leaving?" kyai asked sitting quietly in the living room.
"Abi's back from the mosque? Hehe, this morning Wafa has a morning lecture. So we have to hurry to campus. Breakfast this morning you can not accompany Abi. So, Abi had breakfast with Mbak Sari just yeah .." said Wafa sweet.
"Mbak Sari also wants to go back abroad, right? So Wafa doesn't want to disturb your togetherness. Assallamu'alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh," said Wafa by kissing the hands of Kyai and Sari.
"Wa'alaikumsallam warahmatullahi wabarakatuh."
"Abi, hasn't Abi been too attentive with Sari. Wafa is also Abi's son, right? Why is Abi always strict with him, but not with Sari?" ask Sari gently.
"MasyaAllah, Nduk. Abi loves your sister too. But this attitude of your sister always made Abi a little upset. So have to be firm with him" Kyai said.
"But Abi had sent Wafa to Sari to discipline him. Why does Abi still scold Wafa all the time? Isn't that the same as Abi not trusting Sari?" continued Sari.
What Sari said had a point. Kyai had already handed over the responsibility of Wafa to Sari to be disciplined. But Kyai still meddles if Wafa makes a mistake always comes to punish. Sari was only afraid that Wafa had a grudge against Kyai even though it was impossible. But Sari does feel that Kyai is too pampering herself but not with Wafa.
"This man understands religion. But she always treated her daughter unfairly. I was never scolded, but Wafa .. Even he was always forced to be perfect like the late Umi," inner Sari.
When in front of the boarding gate, Wafa accidentally hit the shoulder of Ustadz Zamil. At that time he was busy fiddling with his phone because the battery was almost exhausted.
"Oh, even forgot this cas. What if Inneke calls me?" wafa Gumam.
BRUK!
The sound of some of the books that Ustadz Zamil brought down.
"Well, hp fell. Crack this screen," Wafa rubbed his phone.
"Assalamu'alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh," greetings Ustadz Zamil.
Hearing a voice that was familiar to him made Wafa immediately nervous. Wafa looked at Ustadz Zamil who was still looking at him.
"Wa-wa'alaikumsallam warahmatulli wabarakatuh. Ustadz, U-Ustadz what's in front of the gate?" ask Wafa.
Ustadz Zamil smiled. Without answering he squatted down and picked up the fallen books. "Hm, looks like you're too cool to play mobile. To the extent that there is me this big you can hit," he said.
"I'm sorry, because I'm in a hurry, Ustadz. There's a morning class, so we have to leave. Assalamu'alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh, sorry can not help!"
Actually there is still time for you to help Ustadz Zamil. But due to nervousness and stubbornness Wafa could not help Ustadz Zamil. He chose to leave without looking into the eyes of the man he admired.
"She's grown into a beautiful girl. But a pity cannot be had because he is the son of my own teacher, "the inner Ustadz Zamil.
"Assalamu'alaikum, Ustadz. Why mess like this, let me help," said Sari suddenly came.
"Wa'alaikumsallam warahmatullahi wabarakatuh. Dek Sari, when are you coming home?"
"Alhamdulillah yesterday. But it will leave again not long ago," replied Sari.
"Oh, how are you?"
"Good alhamdulillah, Ustadz. How's ustadz himself?"
The two of them chatted while tidying up the books dropped by Ustadz Zamil. The mother of Ustadz Zamil passed by after buying vegetables. Seeing her son familiar with Sari, Kyai's proud daughter, made Ustadz Zamil's mother interested in witnessing Sari as her son-in-law.
He considers that Sari is very suitable to be his son's companion. Ustadz Zamil also had feelings for Wafa. Wafa will be a sad girl before starting his love journey.
