Airene (My Diary)
Episode 18: My brother Toa

Looking at Ruhi, I hesitated even more, because I did not know her personality, which I knew she was calm and quiet but this was far from what I had imagined, even making me fear her.

With a higher fear of passing the road to toliet earlier I was forced to follow him to the mosque. The closer we got, the clearer the voice of the person who taught me, the clearer it became, I felt I knew who the suata owner was.

"This sound!"

...【"Reading one of the Quranic suras"】...

"Submit!" said Ruhi. 

I ignored it and bravely walked up to the window of the mosque where the man saff was, I dared to do this because I knew the owner of this voice, the voice I had been looking for all day, a voice that would be the strongest reason for me to survive in this Pesantren Cottage. 

“Votes brothers pray?” guess me without a doubt.

And it's true that last night, when I guessed the owner of this voice must have been a handsome man, and Jess was right, he was a wingless angel who was reciting his words so sweetly. Sankin's good and my eyes wet with the chant, I'm moved. 

"Masya Allah, my Brother Toa," I said amazed at him who was now sitting in the mosque, I was swept away in an illusion, to put my head on the window of the mosque.

"Who's there?" reproofing. 

My eyes were perfectly rounded, I didn't think my voice made him stop teaching and even made him stand, I was getting panicked when his handsome shadow was getting bigger and more exposed to the light, He approached me who was sculpting.

"Death to you Airene," I muttered, as I was panicking, I looked behind me as if Ruhi was gone. " Ruhiiiii, where he is "I continued.

"What is it?"

Asked the taller man, wearing a kurta and skullcap, his figure was perfect. In addition to his distinctive voice, unfortunately I could not see his face from this close, but one hundred percent I was sure, he was handsome, he was, and I could only bow down in shame from being caught off guard by it, this was an unplanned meeting.

"New Santri huh, what else are the nights here?" ask again.

I'm getting scared, my brain can't be compromised at this time, I don't know what to reason with, I'm still down while playing my shirt. " Hmm, me, a-a-I .. that's!"

"Why? speak clearly" he asked.

"Campus, just want to be afraid breath, this is even told a clear voice, Ruhi mana siiiii, watch out!" Just wanted to curse him for daring to leave me. I finally heard his voice. 

"Ih Airene, have you found her?" it was as if he was talking to me from a distance.

My brother and I prayed and turned to him, seeing Ruhi coming with her face and her face that was wet like new ablution. 

"Eh, Assalamualaikum Kak." said Ruhi timidly while confirming the position of the volume did not forget he also lowered his head. 

"Why are you here this morning, it's not yet your hour!" said firmly. 

"Oh sorry brother, we just want to pray, he invited me to pray here, can you?" reply to Ruhi gently. 

"Oh so, please, please!" the reply was no less gentle. 

I did not expect Ruhi apparently good at theatrics, it turns out that besides he shows the other side of himself, tonight he is also good at tongue-licking.  I can only be amazed at him, he has also saved me from this Man I admire. But I think he admires it too, which is what I can see from his attitude tonight.

"Yes, I'm sorry my friend, brother, we go back first, he does not know the rules here so want to enter the santri Putra prayer area," Ruhi said. 

"Yes-yes, it's okay, tomorrow-tomorrow don't get me wrong again?" said again.

At once I felt my body lightly helpless and shaken to fall because how could I not be drunk by the sound of that sweet, meek and also his wife, matched my criteria. 

“Eeeeh, why?” ruhi said while holding me back.

“No-no, I'm fine, sorry brother once again.” I blushed.

"Okay, excuse me! Assalamualaikum Kak Zaid." said Ruhi bamitan. 

"Waalaikumussalam" he answered and returned to the mosque. 

I can't hold my neck back to move in the direction He goes back in.

"Ayoo the way, later Brother Zaid suspected." Ruhi pulled me to the back, where the female saff but I was fixated on something. Yes I was fixated because Ruhi clearly mentioned the name of the man. 

"Wait a minute I didn't listen wrong, you were Zaid's name, right?" say endure.

Ruhi quickly closed my mouth "Hutssss later she heard, slowly.” Ruhi's pulling me away from the men's area. “Yes his name is sister Zaid, you remember I said last night that I often hear the voice of people teaching, yes that's the voice of brother Zaid." Clearly Ruhi.

While walking I closed my mouth in disbelief, it turned out that there was also a silver lining behind the fear and pain of my stomach earlier, it turned out that there was a great gift I got, one I knew his name, I knew, two I could see him up close, three could hear his voice once again even more clearly. 

"Why, are you possessed by Rin?" scolded Ruhi when she saw me smiling to myself. 

"Yes Hi .. heeeem!" 

"iiih yuk Salat first, I was lying to Zaid when I also lied to Allah."

"Groov!" I said I would step into the mosque. 

“Eeeeh wait, aren't you wudhu yet?" guess Ruhi.

"Eh yes," I said Cengengesan.

"Daaah we go back, I also want wudhu”.

We then walked to the ablution and I remained happy because I had known one-sided brother Zaid even though I thought he did not care about me much earlier, because he took a lot of his eyes off in front of us, but I don't care what matters is that I know him.

Minutes passed, after the two rakaat prayers, Ruhi and I returned to the room, and on the way Ruhi told me about the bad news, did you realize, when the good news came to you, sometimes bad news also follows, which is what I now receive even a few minutes away from the good news coming.

I just mentioned his name in my prayer, hoping to be together, but Ruhi said that, and broke my spirit.

“You know Airene?”

“What?” I did not turn my head, just smiling myself because remembering the incident earlier, even my answer was softer than usual to Ruhi.

“Kak Zaid is going to college to egypt.”

DOOOORS!

I stopped, my smile faded, instantly the hallucinations that had been perfectly formed in my mind, were all gone, like young shoots that had just appeared on the ground but were stepped on and broken just like that.

“Why stop, Rin?, ayoo!” he said it was a few steps ahead of me.

Feeling disbelief at what I heard just now, I turned my head slowly to look at Ruhi. “What k-k-you said ta-di?”

“Kak Zaid wants to go to Egypt, he wants to study there!” ruhi simply repeated that sharp sentence. That sentence broke my expectations.

“Come, quickly! we have to go to the room, not good later if caught!” pull my hand.

I refused, not even touching my hand, even on the way to the room, I just kept quiet imagining my days here without hearing her voice again.

...Seriate...
