Ustad Or Alkash?
The Strange Behavior of Jin Tomang

The weekend is over, everything is back to normal as before. Some rushed to the office, and also students who had to return to school to receive lessons as usual.

While in the boarding boarding school where Andin and friends live, there are those who look busy rushing to their respective schools, and there are also those who remain silent in the room because they do not continue school.

In room C12, it was Meta and Violla who did not continue school since graduating from junior high school. They just want to focus on deepening their religious knowledge. The thing they did after the departure of other friends in school, of course, headed to the kitchen to help Ms. Zulfia.

Unlike Andin, he did go to school in a different place than other friends. Most of his friends attended High School and vocational. Of course Papah Arga was the one who determined Andin to go to school in aliyah without Andin having to know the reason.

"Ahh, this is the first day I get into the major class. After yesterday seeing the announcement stating that Jin Tomang Arif and I are finally different classes and majors, it feels very relieved. Ahh no, today I officially became the pretended contract girlfriend of Kak Ziban. Goddamnit!" (the inner Andin suddenly rebelled)

What is my job to be her pretend boyfriend? Ah, I hope that crazy guy doesn't ask me for anything.

IIS 1 class room favorite..

The entrance bell clinked loudly, all the students were in a frenzy entering their new classroom. Except Andin, he always looks relaxed wherever he is. Walking slowly among the insistence of other students who increasingly began to push Andin without being heeded by Andin in the slightest. Yes, Andin does not like to be urged or even pressed. He just tries to be as calm as possible behind any situation.

Andin entered the classroom IIS 1 favorite, looks all the seats are occupied. Only the back desk is still empty with two seats left.

"Ah behind or anywhere is not a problem for me at all, as long as there are no more bullies." (said Andin as he stepped both feet towards the seat)

After Andin sat in his chair, suddenly someone who was no stranger to him entered the class and headed to Andin's bench and sat next to him.

"Hey!! what are you doing in this class?!" (asked Andin with a surprised face)

"Why indeed? This is also my class." (replies casually which makes Andin more confused)

Why is Arif in this class? Wasn't it clearly mentioned yesterday that Arif got a near-perfect grade as well and even got into the MIA 1 class favorite?

Before Andin showered Arif with many questions, the homeroom teacher had already entered the classroom with a greeting and of course the usual introductory activities between the homeroom teacher and his students were immediately started.

The break at 12:00 finally arrived, most students when the clock shows the break time, then they will go directly to the school cafeteria. Of course, it is not an ordinary canteen like schools in general. Ah, maybe the restaurant is the most appropriate name to name the CANteen MAN 102 Bandung. How not? There is only a high-end food menu, of course, with a very extreme price.

But unlike Andin, after the break bell he immediately rushed to the mosque in the school. Of course a very luxurious mosque with a charming design that is rarely seen in any mosque.

After performing the dhuhur prayer service is finished, Andin will just rush to a place to fill his stomach. Which is certainly not to the school cafeteria, but Andin will go to the side of the road in front of the school that there are many lines of five feet. He did prefer to buy food to street vendors. Of course not because he could not afford to buy food in the cafeteria. Even if Andin wants to buy his canteen even if he is very capable. Yes so Andin, since living in boarding school he is more independent, especially about eating, Andin is not picky anymore and even prefers roadside foods.

"A ketoprak as usual ya bang, do not forget the spicy okay bang." (said Andin who was welcomed by the trader's armpit)

"Okay neng, sumonggo wait a minute oruh." (answered the ketoprak trader with his special accent)

"Nih a serving of ketoprak pedes pisan for the gelis whim."

(said the brother by offering a serving of ketoprak and also a glass of sweet iced tea)

"Thank you, bang."

Andin looks to eat very enjoy, occasionally interspersed with a sip of iced tea that always fits the taste, not too sweet and not too bitter. Of course while eating with an occasional look at the watch so as not to be too long there and get into the classroom just in time.

After seeing his black watch that shows at 12:30, then Andin must immediately complete his noble sacred task of spending ketoprak as soon as possible.

"No need to worry, this time let Abang treat the cuddle." (said the brother by refusing Andin to pay a portion of the ketoprak that had been devoured)

"Ah is really bang? The time the buyer wants to pay cannot be."

Andin answered back to the man in front of him who was not too old, maybe about 25 years. But he does look very plain with his typical alakadar style.

"Yes, it's okay. Today, the trade of his armpits is all gone."

"Well, thanks for this time, bang. It is delicious and will always be like that. I'm going to class again, bang, have a good day."

Andin ran into the school before the gate closed because it would be difficult to enter and go to his class. The ketoprak brother just smiled while shaking his head to see the behavior of the girl he thought was funny.

When Andin had entered the school and stepped on his feet in the park, two people suddenly came blocking Andin's path. Of course makes Andin surprised by the presence of two of the most popular creatures in this school.

"Hey! Rubber kebon! Have you read it yet?!" (said Ziban with a haughty look)

"It's brother."

"Hahaha of course you will very much accept those terms with joy, let alone the requirement to be my pretend boyfriend. Yayaayaaa, it was the dream of all the women to me. I'll let you if you really want to bend your knees to me for my good"

I really don't want to bend my knees to you. I will bow my knees to my Lord! One more thing, hahaha of course I am not the type of woman you are saying, I am even very sorry to have been met with you, O devil. Hid.

"Hemmm." (andin replied briefly because he did not want to linger with this demon)

"How dare you just say that to me?!"

Whahuh? What did I say to you? Isn't that what you often tell me? Replace others who say you're high blood.

"Ahh I'm just a little joking, can I go back to my class? Because the class is about to start, brother."

"Hem."

I really want to finish you off right now!

Andin immediately ran to class IIS 1 Favorite leaving them both, Ziban and Rinta who had just been silent without speaking or even cornered Andin. Maybe he's playing a personal assistant who only talks if his master allows it.

Hmh! What drama they are doing.

The first day lesson was over, of course, by sitting in rows with the Arif without speaking a word. Since the last incident yesterday in the announcement room, Arif has indeed been seen to be very quiet and does not bother Andin anymore as usual. Andin of course looks still confused with Arif's cold attitude that is not as usual.

And if Andin asks Arif a question, he just keeps quiet or just answers yes and no.

Ah Arif Jin Tomang really makes me curious! Start with why he entered the IIS 1 Favorite class and also with the cold attitude that Arif pointed at me. Why is Arif even more annoying when being cold and stop bothering me anymore. Aaaaa come on Rif, explain to me what is it exactly?!

SERIATE...
