Becoming a Ning
Is Falling in Love

"Assalamualaikum Warahmatullahi Westarokatuh," Mega greeting went up to the hall making those who were busy with memorization each immediately speechless and stared at his standing self.

"Well, on why, anyway?" megah muttered and finally tried to cry so as not to be too awkward.

"Afifa?!" call Abah in front of them all. Mega stared and nodded, she slightly bowed as she passed the santriwati.

"Ning?"

"Ning!"

"Yes?" sahut Mega when they call himself who did get the title.

Their eyes rounded and closed their mouths when they got an answer from Mega, Mega continued to walk until they reached Abah's place.

"Why are you here, son?" ask Abah who sits on one level from santri and Mega.

Perhaps, indeed this place is deliberately made to distinguish the seat between ustadz/ustadzah and other santriwati.

"You see them memorize also murajaah, Bah. E-id, can't you, huh?" tanya Mega looked down.

"Subhanallah, since when did Abah forbid you from doing anything? In fact, when you want to lock yourself up Abah give even a few months back Abah forces you to get out of the house and comfort zone.

Abah is happy with your current attitude, more mingling with others is also easy to smile at them," said Abah smiling and holding Mega's shoulder.

The woman finally raised her head with dewy eyes, "Yes, Allah. Your enjoyment is so real, I've never heard a father's words like this before.

I have always heard quarrels as well as insults, now I hear such peaceful and beautiful sentences.

Give guidance to Papa the servant, yes, Allah. To be like Abah Afifa. I know that this thing will not be eternal, whether even this is just a mere dream that the soul of the servant can move.

But I am happy servant of Allah. Very and very happy to feel this dream, ' Mega's inner with clear circles that have wet the cheeks.

"Darling? You why? Is anyone sick?" asked Abah in a panicked tone.

Mega realized with the voice of Abah, she shook her head and rubbed her cheeks wiping away tears.

Taken Mega Abah's hand that holds the knee, in the kiss of hands that are more wrinkled than his Papa with reverence.

"Afifa is happy and proud to have a father like Abah," said Mega looked up with sparkling eyes towards Abah.

"It's also happy and proud of what you're doing, son!" terang Abah rubbed Mega's head covered with a scarf, "already, they might start drowsiness. Better, you help Abah to help them, yeah!"

Either way, Mega nodded her head and chose to sit near the other santriwati.

"Son, why not just go upstairs?" asked Abah to raise an eyebrow.

"Afifa did not deserve to sit next to Abah, Afifa science far below Abah" said Mega with a smile.

Sontak heard that, more santriwati towards Mega for rote depositing because they also already know that Mega or rather Afifa just finished 20juz.

Like a person who has been memorized, Mega teaches and encourages and motivates those who are not perfect reading.

"Ning, Ning kok tumben out?"

"Ning, why after I want to graduate and get out of the house?"

"Ning, Ning is so beautiful Maa Shaa Allah."

Perhaps their souls were completely changed. But, the brain and intelligence are still attached. The proof, Mega was able to complete their memorization and correct without seeing the mushaf.

"Why do you give me so many questions, anyway? It's like a reporter," Mega replied smiling knots at them.

"Assalamualaikum," greeting someone who still has not memorized Mega the owner of his voice.

Those who spoke earlier to Mega also Abah immediately turned to kiss Umi's hand, Mega stared at Umi who was sitting in front of him.

"Come, we, go home!" take Umi towards Mega. Mega stared at the wall clock in the hall.

"Astagfirullah, forgive Afifa Umi. Afifa forgot that he had to go home at 9 pm," said Mega saw that the clock was already at 10.

"It's okay, we go home now," said Umi embraced by Mega, "Change, sorry we permission to go home first."

Umi says goodbye to Abah and is told by a nod, Umi approaches and kisses Abah's hand followed by Mega.

"Thank you for helping Abah, Abah hopes Afifa can often mingle with them, yes," he stared fixedly at Mega.

"Insha Allah, Bah," said Mega did not dare to promise.

Mega stood up, the santriwati who saw he was going home and was about to cross his hand directly he prohibited.

"No, I'm just like you. Still civil and have to learn, we are the same, really. The spirit, yes, I got into the ndalem first. Assalamualaikum, "greetings Mega left them.

Mega's steps stopped when he saw Abah and Umi look at each other, he approached with a smile, "Maa Syaa Allah, have longed for Abah, yes, Mi?" megah whispers teasing Umi.

Hearing Mega's words, Umi immediately turned her eyes to Abah.

Mega shut her mouth fearing that her laughter would be blaring in the hall, "Here you go, come on, let's go!" invite Umi to divert the conversation by holding Mega's hand.

"Open ... Umi seems to be in love again with Abah, nih. Or ... Umi mostly wears blouses on? To the extent that Umi's cheeks are red, tuh," pointed Mega to Umi's cheeks again teasing the woman next to him.

"Ish, where there is. Huh, eh!" cetus Umi who was embarrassed was seduced by Mega while Mega giggled by holding him while keeping his mouth shut.

The door is closed again with an empty room and a quiet house, "You don't forget the evening prayer was finished before going to bed continued the same study, yes."

"Name ... Afifa can study at the cottage? No need to study alone in Mi's room," said Mega who wants to feel what studying at the boarding school is like.

"Are you sure, honey?" ask Umi make sure. Mega nodded steadily.

"Yaudah, may. Later when Abah comes home, Umi tell Abah."

"Will Abah give you permission, Mi?" ask the scared Mega.

"Inn Shay Allah, my dear. Now, you go into the room and do what Umi said earlier, yes."

"Okay, Umi."

Mega went into the room, before closing the door he smiled first at Umi and closed the room door not forgetting to lock it.

He doesn't know what to lock the door here, but time is at his house. He must have locked the door for fear that a bad person might come in.

But, this is the boarding school. Is there a bad guy? Ah, nevermind! There's no harm in keeping watch, is there? It's just about the door lock, really.
