In My Hijrah
a tired day

***

The night changed in the morning.

Modern Salapi pesantren encourage some people, to cook rice and vegetables (Ketring system).

however, for vegetable ketring and side dishes are separated, all santri who participate in vegetable ketring have got their respective rations in the same portion, except rice.

And there are also those who do not follow ketring, who choose to buy vegetables and cooked side dishes in the nearest rice stall.

For all santri, rice is put together in a container (rice rice rice rice rice rice rice) sized jumbo. for its own collection is not regulated or scratched. Some take a lot, some are enough or a little.

and on that morning, Alwan was a little late to pick up the rice, because he had to wash and dry the soaked clothes before dawn.

before going to school.

Alwan carries a plate, intending to take the rice. "his basket shell is empty? tumben, usually there are still more for one or two more servings." Alwan said in his heart, while walking carrying a plate that was still empty.

Till room.

"why bring the plate empty, eat where?" asked Lutfi in surprise.

"not to eat fi, rice dibakul Habis" said Alwan who was opening a closet, and took some money.

"grace mang?" lutfi

"someone must have taken a double (two plates)." continued Hadi while eating.

" Just try the kitchen santri mang, stuff there is still rice left behind.biasanyasih mang Ajo if cooking rice, the rice is not brought all here." said mang Andi.

"Dad too well, yes I have checked first" said Alwan.

***

The kitchen is a little far away, because it cooks using a furnace, not a gas stove. With a perapin that uses firewood, fear that the smoke can interfere with the activities of the santri, and cause odor.so it is made specifically for the place to cook rice, in a separate place.

Mang ajo is a person who cooks rice for the needs of santri putara and putri, morning mang Ajo cook Nasi four baskets, afternoon four baskets as well. Two for santri son and two more for santri princess

"Mang Ajo's? there's still no rice here." asked Alwan who in three minutes had reached the kitchen.

mang Ajo approached Alwan.

"Where is Wan, don't you go to Nasi ?" ask mang Ajo.

"No. That's why I came here, I think there's still leftovers" said Alwan.

"There will also be an afternoon, because the rice set runs out, it's also just the rest of the setok. Mang Ajo.

"Wouldn't cook again, what?" Ask Alwan

"for now it looks like not wan, because the rice set will be sent after dzuhur.you just try to ask for princess cessantri, usually santri putri like there is still a lot of rice leftover" said Mang Ajo While tidying up the firewood.

Alwan's a little moody.

"hemmm, thanks mang." Alwan. Alwanpun walked half a run to return the nephews, with his plate still empty.

"want to stop buying, I have to hurry so as not to bad luck" murmured Alwan.

stalls near the pesantren are served chicken porridge, white rice, vegetables and side dishes.

when Alwan arrived at the boarding gate, Alwan's steps stopped for a moment.A little hesitant, looking at the stall that turned out to be crowded with santri princess.

"gimna here? impression not yeah. No impression means no breakfast. if impressionah, rame really santri his daughter". Alawan said in his heart, confused.

Still in his murmur.

"ah bodo very than not having breakfast, which will even hurt" said Alwan, while walking towards the stall. Until there Alwan fell to all the santri who saw his presence, and all the santri princess returned her smile. without waiting for long Alwan immediately asked the owner of the stall.

"Mom, the chicken porridge is still there?"

ask Alwan while looking at the storefront (food cabinet).

"There's A, but it's just enough for these teats." said the shop mother who pointed towards the princess santri.

"if the others still have not ma'am? white rice, nasi uduk, or vegetable lontong?" asked Alwan penasara. see the contents of the etalasnya already empty, may still be in the kitchen thought Alwan.

"it was also on A's abis, happened to make it a little" said the owner of the stall.

although disappointed, Alwan still showed his smile.

Alwan can only swallow saliva. "morning is not so good, you want to have breakfast bread." murmured Alwan.

At school, when the lesson is going on.

not as usual, the day was very tiring for Alwan. because at night Alwan lack of sleep, after taking care of sick students. Maybe because of more activity and lack of nutrition, plus the weather was so hot that day.

makes Alwan feel tired quickly.

the look on Alwan's face was not so excited, he felt like he was going to have a fever. Plus the hunger could not pump his stamina, making him slightly lose concentration while studying.

Alwan held his stomach, while putting his head on the table.

"grueek, gruk" sounds in Alwan's stomach.

"tumbens. Can't we just shabby Alwan like that?" muttered khodijah in his heart, who had noticed Alwan. Who writes with his head laid on the table.

"kriiing kring, kriiing kring" the break bell rang

"Mangs? out yuk, time to rest "bring the baby dab Budi (ketu class) who approached Alwan.

"just go first bay, later I follow" said Alwan who was still half lying down.

"iya mang. let's get out the mang. We play balbalan (kick the ball)" said Andi.

"No mang, my body is no longer fit" said Alwan. While forcing to smile.

"aaah no fun" said budi.

"already Yu, we let Mang Alwan rest in class" said Andi.

Mang andi patted Alwan on the back. "Anyone wants to be signed without mang, goods mamang mamang want to take medicine?

let me be sanity later."ujar mang anadi offered.

"no mang. I just want to sleep." said Alwan.

"yes it is then" said Andi. Bayu, Andi and Budipun left Alwan in the classroom.

in the classroom that slowly began to quiet, Alwan tried to close his eyes to sleep, to eliminate fatigue and hunger.

"mang"?? Call khodijah while approaching him.

Alwan was a little surprised, thinking there was no one in the class. "Hemm" said Alwan looking towards the voice that called out to him.

"Tuben does not follow the rest of the rest, again sick open.."? Ask khodijah.

"Engga.." said alwan simple.

"cook his face pale like that? mang Alwan again has a problem, huh,?" tanya Seized

"That too" said Alwan, with a forced smile

"Sick no, have a problem. hemm cut off with her boyfriend huh? hi hi hi hi hayoh ngaku mang." said safitri who seduced Alwan.

"a lot of this really santri teteh-teteh, do not know what other people cape. My time must be honest, if I don't get the rice in the kobong." said Alwan in his heart.

"With also. sayah sleepy, while lack of sleep because there are some sick santri, which I have to take care of" replied Alwan reasoned, without changing his body position..

"Oh so" said Ayu.

"Pantesan Ajah mamang, a rich flower that runs out of bloom (wood) hi hi.." said fitri, while holding back laughter.

"Huss. ya yu, we stay in Mang Alwan. justin him Istrahat." invite khodijah to his friends.

"But pity mang Alwan jendian in class," said Ayu.

" mang Alwan want to be in the middle of a conversation with mang?" said fitri who likes to tease Alwan.

"tea, thank you I just need sleep" replied Alwan simply, with a grin.

Sejah pulled the hand of ayu and fitri who stood beside Alwan's table.

"Aayoooo, give him a break." said khodijah

"Daddy, dream fitri yes mang Alwan." said fitri..
