Aulia was in the room since then, she was struggling with the work piling up, all the files neatly stored on her phone drive.


The beloved laptop that he used to keep in the wardrobe still works and now he uses it again.


If it was so he would not go anywhere even he could spend until night.


" Battery is full, quota is full, so which of God's blessings are you denying? " Aulia asked herself with a smile.


Adhan dzuhur has been heard, Aulia out of the room to pray dzuhur with Umi and Abinya.


After finishing performing the prayer Aulia returned to her room to continue her activities.

Arsha prepared to go to Kyai Abas house after performing dzuhur prayer in surau with his other friends.


" It's so hot today, do I have to walk there again? " Arsha said slowly.


Pesantren cottage area is still crowded at that time, Arsha still sat quietly on the outskirts of surau pay attention to the surrounding situation.


He reached into his pocket, checking whether the envelope Nurul gave him was still in his pocket and was still there.


" Bishim.... " Arsha got up from her seat and walked towards the main gate of the boarding school.


Faizal who saw Arsha then approached, a little running so as not to be left behind by Arsha.


" Asha... " Call Faizal.


Arsha looked, seeing Faizal approaching him, he stopped his steps waiting until Faizal arrived before him.


" You're leaving already? " Tanya Faizal looked at Arsha.


" Yes Mas "Arsha briefly replied with a smile.


" Yes be careful "Faizal's message is short.


" Yes, thank you, "Steady Arsha said.


Faizal turned his back and walked away from Arsha.


" Where's Arsha going? " Someone asked in a warm voice.


Arsha looked for the direction of the voice that called him, Pakde Hadi apparently "Eh Pakde "Call him.


Pakde Hadi is a person who helped take care of boarding school, although not fixed, Pakde Hadi often came to boarding school in his spare time .


Pakde Hadi approached "I have noticed that you are daydreaming a lot "She said.

" Oh anu I want to go to Kyai Abas house, Pakde "Answer Arsha a bit nervous.


" Last day? " Task Pakde Hadi.


" A walk? " Arsha has not yet answered Pakde Hadi has asked again.


Arsha who got a question from Pakde Hadi smiled and replied "Yes Pakde, this afternoon I went there on foot "


" It's very hot Arsha "Pakde Hadi looked the other way while squinting with glare.


" It's okay Pakde, yesterday also I ran out from there on foot, walking also nourish Pakde's body? " Arsha calms Pakde Hadi.


Pakde Hadi nodded then patted Arsha on the shoulder, very warm treatment Pakde Hadi.


Indeed, Arsha has been widely known to people around the boarding school even some guests who visited the boarding school were very impressed with the character and achievements of Arsha.


" Look, you come with me to the house later you can choose to go to Kyai Abas house using what? " Peach Pakde.


" Oh no need Pakde let me walk alone "Answored Arsha awkwardly got an offer from Pakde Hadi.


" Don't be so Arsha don't refuse, it was yesterday you went there on foot but not today "Pakde Hadi began to explain.


" Are you not going to make Kyai Abas wait too long anyway? " Next Pakde Hadi.


Arsha nodded his mark confirming Pakde Hadi's remark.


" Come with me then! " Pakde Hadi's orders and answered a nod by Arsha.


Arsha walked side by side with Pakde Hadi, not far from his house just next door so it did not take long to get there.


" Assalamu'alaikum's.... " Arsha saluted when entering Pakde Hadi's yard.


Pakde Hadi who heard the greetings from Arsha smiled and replied "Wa'alaikumssalam.... ".


" Let's go in "Pinta Pakde Hadi, Arsha smiled at Pakde Hadi's treatment.


Upon arrival in the yard of the house exactly in front of the door of the house Pakde Hadi was buried two mountain bikes, three motorcycles and two cars.


" Pick Arsha which one do you want to wear? " Pakde Hadi ordered Arsha.


Arsha was confused while looking at Pakde Hadi's vehicle.


" Masha Allah Pakde, thank you very much for helping me "Asha said, Pakde Hadi nodded with a smile.


" Let's choose don't hesitate "Pakde Hadi walked to direct Arsha.


Arsha looked at the vehicle owned by Pakde Hadi, considered carefully which one would be right for him to use.


" I want to use this bike only Pakde "Arsha expressed his wish while pointing to one of the bikes that is red in black graded.


" Convinced? " Pakde Hadi made sure.


" Yes Pakde let you all exercise "Arsha's answer convinced Pakde Hadi.


Pakde Hadi nodded, then went inside his house to pick up Arsha's bike key and when he came out again had brought the bike key and plastic containing parcels for Kyai Abas.


" This is the key to his bike and this I leave to give to Kyai Abas, send greetings to him yes "Pakde handed over the keys and plastic bags that he brought from inside the house earlier.


" Thank you very much Pakde, yes later I will tell Kyai Abas "Arsha said.


After reaching for the key and the plastic bag he said goodbye to Pakde Hadi and rode a bicycle and pedaled it towards Kyai Abas' house.


...****************...


Aulia was still in the room, Umi Tinah knocked on the door of the room but there was no reason then Umi Tinah took the initiative to open the door of Aulia's room and enter it slowly.


Aulia was sleeping on the bed with the papers strewn across, apparently Aulia was exhausted.


Printer still on laptop running out of battery, Kyai Abas peeked out from behind the room door watching his wife.


He saw his wife caressing Aulia affectionately, Umi Tinah tidied the scattered paper and turned off the printer and recharged Aulia's laptop.


Kyai Abas moved into Aulia's room, Umi Tinah was a bit surprised and Kyai Abas put his index finger on his mouth not to make a noise to Umi Tinah, Umi Tinah nodded.


Kyai Abas looked at the laptop monitor, saw what was written there.


He read what was on the screen, in the raise of his crucifixion and then in the lower back Kyai Abas increasingly understood after seeing what the name signed there.


His daughter Aulia, as the owner of an Islamic school-based foundation, more or less adopted Abinya's boarding school, Kyai Abas.


As Kyai Abas tears down her tears, Umi Tinah, who saw her husband crying, approaches her curiosity and makes her look at the laptop screen.


" Mash Allah.... " Umi Tinah lirih.


Kyai Abas took Umi Tinah outside and told Umi Tinah to let the scattered paper not be tidied up.


After going outside the room Kyai Abas and Umi Tinah embrace each other they cry, while saying thanks "Alhamdulillah... "


" Abi always believed Mi, that Aulia would not fail, in her silence she proved that she could be proud in her own way Umi "Kyai Abas grasped tightly Umi's hand, her eyes staring hard.


...****************...


Arsha had gone half way, his heart was happy not one bit he felt hot when the afternoon was so hot.


He likes to ride a bike because it used to be his hobby, plus the shadow of Aulia's face that always played in his mind.


" Alhamdulillah O Allah.... You always side with me " said Arsha.


Arsha's face looks radiant so that her beautiful face is more charming.


" Thank God soon I'll be until "Arsha gets more and more excited about pedaling his bike.


...****************...


" Abi should Abi talk about the problem of our boarding school to Aulia "Suggestion of Umi Tinah.


" Umi, Umi knows for herself that Aulia does not want to help take care of the boarding school before she gets married "Kyai Abas reminded.


" Not ask for help.... But brainstorming, it's good how Umi "Umi Tinah means to explain again.


After arranging each feeling Kyai Abas returned to the living room, while Umi Tinah returned to the kitchen somehow what would be done there but indeed Umi Tinah could not remain silent .


...****************...


Arsha had arrived in front of the house of Kyai Abas, a very beautiful house with various kinds of trees that flourished around him.


He got off his bike and put it in the yard and knocked on the door and said hello.


...****************...


Inside the house in the living room Kyai Abas sat on his ration chair, leaning back and his eyes closed.


Not long after the door was knocked from the outside, people said the greeting "Assalamu'alaikum.... "


Kyai Abas replied "Wa'alaikumssalam warahmatulli wabarakatuh .... "


...****************...


Arsha waited to open the door, while slightly fixing her messy hair.


...****************...


Umi Tinah walked from the kitchen to open the door "Wa'alaikumssalam "return while holding the door leaf.


" Eh Son Arsha, come on, come on in here! " Umi Tinah invited Arsha in.


" Yes Umi, I came again " said Arsha chuckling while crucifying Umi Tinah.


Umi Tinah looked at Arsha with shining eyes, Umi Tinah was very happy with the arrival of Arsha.


" Umi was even happy that Nak Arsha came again "Timpal Umi.


They walked into the living room and approached Kyai Abas.


" abb... There is a guest "Tegur Umi Tinah.


Abi opened his eyes, then turned to look at Umi Tinah, saw Arsha standing next to Umi Tinah.


" Ashaka.... " Kyai Abas stood up.


" Assalamu'alaikum Kyai" Arsha grabbed Kyai Abas' hand and crucified.


" Wa'alaikumssalam warahmatullah wabarakatuh " Reply Kyai Abas smiled by rubbing Arsha's hair.


" Come-ayo please sit "Pinta Kyai Abas while directing his hand and take a sitting position first.


" Yes Kyai, thank you "Arsha sat next to Kyai Abas.


" Oh yes this Kyai there is a deposit from Pakde Hadi "Arsha handed over the plastic he brought.


" Wow what is this? Wearing to bother everything "Murm Kyai Abas, Arsha just chuckled.


The plastic received by Kyai Abas was handed over to Umi Tinah and soon Umi Tinah returned to the kitchen.


" Tell my gratitude to Pakde Hadi, "Kyai Abas said.


" Yes Kyai, God willing.... " She said briefly.


Arsha was silent for a moment and remembered the envelope in her pocket.


" Hmm yes Kyai, here I have a deposit from Nurul for Kyai "Arsha delivered the envelope and was received by Kyai Abas.


Kyai Abas received the envelope slowly he opened and he read what it contained then fell silent, Arsha could only pay attention not to ask.


" At noon like this drinking hot tea is okay, Nak Arsha? " Umi Tinah suddenly came over with a slight chuckle.


The arrival of Umi Tinah broke the kehenigan, a glass of hot tea with her snack has been presented at the guest table.


" Monggo Nak Arsha enjoyed "Umi Tinah offers.


" Thank you Umi... Sorry, I'm so troublesome " said Arsha.


" Ah No, Umi was happy that Nak Arsha came "Umi Tinah and turned his eyes to Kyai Abas who was still silent.


Arsha understood the situation, but Arsha did not want to find out, then Arsha took the tea glass in front of him and drank it.


Umi Tinah did not reprimand her husband, she only noticed after that she went back to leave Arsha and Kyai Abas.


Arsha took a small meal at the table and ate it, Arsha's vision began to wander around from the living room, occasionally looking at the other room.


" Why quiet? There's no sign of Aulia here "Tanya Arsha in the heart.


" Or maybe Aulia just left again to Jakarta? " Still asking in my heart.


Arsha then realized that there was Kyai Abas next to her, now his gaze was directed back to Kyai Abas.


The paper Kyai Abas read was still not separated from Kyai Abas' hand, while Kyai himself still closed his eyes while holding his forehead.


" Kyai, is Kyai okay? " Task Arsha to Kyai.


" Be calm Arshaka, I am fine " Kyai Abas replied.


" Kyai's sleepy? Wanna rest? " Asha asked me another question.


" No, I just thought for a moment " Kyai Abas replied slowly.


Silence back, let it be like that for a while then Kyai Abas can already control himself again.


" What was this that Faizal was trying to tell me? " Tanya Kyai Abas moved the paper he was holding.


" No Kyai, it was from Nurul, Nurul himself who gave it to me as he walked into the caretaker room "Arsha explained, Kyai Abas nodded.


" So Faizal doesn't know about this yet? " Kyai Abas shook the paper again.


" Not yet Kyai, does that paper contain what Kyai? " Arsha tried to dare to ask.


Kyai Abas was silent again, the paper he held earlier he folded and put again into the envelope.


" No, it's nothing... " Myai Abas replied as he immediately kept the envelope under a pile of books under the guest table.


Arsha just smiled at Kyai Abas' attitude, "Kyai is Mas Faizal the future son-in-law of Kyai? " Arsha tried to divert the conversation.


" Prospective ghost? " Kyai Abas was astonished to hear Arsha's question.


" Yes Kyai, because the number Kyai saved by Mas Faizal with the name of the candidate-in-law "Arsha gave an explanation.


Kyai Abas was slowly questioning, his head shook his head "No Arshaka" Kyai Abas replied, Arsha breathed a sigh of relief at Kyai Abas' reply.
