DOCTOR DAVIN AND SANTRI BARBAR
Chapter 47. Last Time

"Chila, how are you?" nyai Fatimah asked as she invited Fazila to sit before her.

"B–baik Nyai," said Fazila nervously, he sure for sure after this he will get a punishment. In Fazila's heart held back the frustration on Heni. What does that girl really want? Why do you always meddle in his business?

"It has been meningan means, if there is no development after being given the drug the plan we will take you to the doctor."

Nyai Fatimah's gentle demeanor did not make Fazila calm, the girl understood that Nyai Fatimah was just chatting first before turning to the subject.

"Alhamdulillah Nyai already healthier," said Fazila honestly.

"Alhamdulillah then. Oh, yeah, this afternoon why not take the study?"

Fazila gulped getting such a question. Already he thought the previous conversation was just a pleasant talk even though Nyai Fatimah really cared about him.

"Ka-because I was not well, right Nyai." Fazila's voice was heard.

"But someone reported you were wandering outside the pesantren area."

Sontak Fazila immediately looked back, staring at Heni with an aura of hostility. However, what he looked at instead played eyes while smiling sweetly made Fazila even more arrogant.

"Why?" asked Nyai Fatimah again because he never got an answer.

"My mind is cramped Nyai, I would like to look around and breathe air outside the pesantren. Tired of being in a pesantren environment. It seems I really need to take a walk for a while to get healthy again. Isn't a healthy body also because of a healthy mind?" Fazila replied with a bow of his head. Not daring to look at the face of Nyai Fatimah, especially after he thought the answer might be a little presumptuous.

"You're right, the students haven't explored outside our neighborhood in a long time. Next time I'll talk to ustadz and ustadzah to set the time."

Fazila's eyes sparkled at Nyai Fatimah's unsuspecting answer. He thought Nyai Fatimah would be angry at him. In fact, he even gave a container to accommodate his complaints. In contrast to Heni who seemed unhappy to hear that. Actually it was nice to be able to walk outside but not happy because Fazila did not get punished.

"Oh yeah Chila, you said a chopstick, right?"

Fazila nodded and said, "Yes Nyai."

"Then come with Nyai tomorrow."

"I'm sorry, where's Nyai?"

"Shopping, and then come to an important event."

"Nei."

"Oh yes tomorrow around 7am we go shopping, so you have to be ready. For the lesson you were able to catch up, right?"

"Every Nyai," replied Fazila with a sumringah.

"You've come back to your place and we're teaching now!"

Fazila nodded then returned to the side of his friends who were chanting verses from the scriptures.

"Enak nih Chila, I first went to school in this boarding school never once got an offer to join Nyai," whispered Andin was envious.

"Round, maybe someday you will be invited," said Fazila.

"Focus on teaching, don't talk!" cry Nyai Fatimah then make those who whispered immediately stop and return to bring the Qur'an.

One by one Nyai Fatimah complains of her students to check their readings, whether it is in accordance with the science of tajwid or not.

***

Tomorrow Fazia is ready with a gold-colored robe with the same khimar. A smile spread across his lips as Andin said he was fit to be Nyai.

"There are you, I'm suitable not so Nyai but so Nya-muk," Fazila joked and chuckled. No more seeing the sadness on her beautiful face that some days looks sad and not passionate.

His friends were also happy to see the development of Fazila who seemed to forget the thing that made him sad even though the trigger was still a mystery to them.

"Chila is called Nyai" said a santriwati as she stood at the door.

"Thank you" said Fazila with a sweet smile and the girl nodded before finally leaving their room.

"Don't Nyai want to pick yourself up as a ghost," seduced Anggita.

"Pingit isn't mutu, you think Fazila is what rubbish" protested Qiana.

"Don't, Gus Firdaus is my allotment" said Andin with a clear face to make Fazila immediately scooped the face of his best friend.

"Relax I can't possibly turn Andin, even though I'm sure Gus Firdaus has no crush on you at all" Fazila joked and made Andin widen his eyes and was about to shout. However, before Andin let out his voice first Fazila ran out.

"Chiro!" andin shouted making his other two friends close their ears because of the sound of Andin deafening the eardrum.

"You can make the other santri so riled up to know!" qiana protested because she had indeed seen some santri running into their room.

"How are you ready, Chila?" nyai asked as she saw Fazila standing in front of her room.

Fazila.

"Then we leave," said Nyai Fatimah then holding Fazila's hand out of the boarding area. Outside the car they were going to ride in was ready.

"Come in!" his orders Fatimah when Fazila was just standing outside the car. Once again the girl nodded and complied.

"I'm taking you because Kyai is not home, so it's not nice to just go alone with the driver" explains Nyai Fatimah.

"Yes, but I'm sorry to know where Mr Kyai went?"

"Aw the wedding party of one of his students, alumni here."

Nyai Fatimah's reply reminded Fazila of Izzam's information about Davin's doctor's wedding to take place today.

"Oh."

Fazila was just a mangosteen, not wanting to know any deeper after what Sister Tantri had said to her. Let the man's name be buried in his heart as time rolls on. Lamenting the circumstances would only make his heart wound with regret.

The car drove fast and stopped in front of a shopping center in the city.

"You look for the things you want me to pay for!" his orders Fatimah then left Fazila to choose his own goods.

Fazila was silent, inwardly thinking maybe this is what envies his friends because it turns out that by joining Nyai they can get the items they want, in the sense of free shopping.

For those who do come from lower middle-income families, this may be an interesting and fun offer, but for Fazila himself it is awkward when others will pay for his groceries considering his parents have more money than Nyai Fatimah himself.

Therefore Fazila just looked around without any desire to buy something. He also felt he did not need anything at this moment.

Almost 2 hours Nyai Fatimah shopping and Fazila who had looked tired down the mall finally decided to pull over, sitting on a chair owned by a coffee seller in one of the outlets in the mall. Thirst made him immediately order ice coffea even though he was recovering from a fever.

"Chila, why isn't there anything you've chosen?" asked Nyai Fatimah while carrying her groceries. Not to forget he gave an item to the store owner to be wrapped as a gift.

"Nothing is interesting and today I don't need anything. I can walk around, I am satisfied" replied Fazila, making Nyai Fatimah just shake her head and smile. She guessed for sure before staying at the boarding school both Fazila's parents often took her daughter away on vacation.

So, while in the boarding school for a long time, the girl felt depressed and confined because she could not breathe the outside air freely like she used to.

"You take a gift, don't embarrass me later, after this we'll go to an event and you won't come empty-handed!" his commandments are indisputable.

Fazila let out a long sigh and finally asked the owner of the store who was wrapping Nyai Fatimah's gift, what would he bring today.

Fazila glanced at the watch in her hand, the clock already showing at half-ten as they returned to the car. He smiled wryly, at this time the doctor Davin must have said the phrase qabul in his wedding ijab qabul. That means it's all over. There is no hope left in my heart.

"Turn here sir!" his orders Fatimah when they saw an alley.

Deg.

"Iti–" Fazila's heart beat faster with a regular rhythm. This is the place he came to yesterday. The decoration of the event venue that made him dazzle and made his heart plump at the same time.

It turns out that all of this was not a dream.

It is still recorded clearly in the memory of how sister Tantri spoke at length to him yesterday. He did not expect Nyai Fatimah to come to this event when the time was too late. Fazila thought Nyai Fatimah would take him somewhere else.

"Well!" A legitimate word from the mouths of many people made Fazila's legs relax instantly. The firmness he had built up since last night collapsed in just an instant.

"Chila! Why are you pensive? Comeondown!" his Order Fatimah.

Seriate.
