Mysterious Gus
#03. There's A Weird One
The clock shows the number two in the morning. Farel slowly opened his eyes. It was much better than this afternoon. He slept in the living room with his friends and two other students.
Farel sighed to see his body hit by the legs of his friends. Farel brusquely put away their feet and got up. Now the goal is Grandpa and Grandma's room. Farel will surprise them now.
Without excuse, Farel went straight into their room. The room was not in the key when Farel stayed, because it was Farel's habit when staying awake and moved to sleep with them.
"Grandfather, Grandma" called Farel slowly and sat on the bed. Abdullah and Jamilah who heard the gentle call from his grandson woke up at once. They had been waiting for Farel to sleep with them.
Abdullah frowned. It was not usual for his grandson to wake them up but to fall asleep in the middle. "Why Gus? Is anyone sick?"
"Engga,"
"Then? You don't usually wake up. What was? The same story Grandma," said Jamilah gently and rubbed Farel's hair with affection.
"Farel wants to be a Qur'an hafizh" Farel replied, making Abdullah and Jamilah smile.
"Subhanallah. Very noble of your wishes. Grandpa and Grandma would support you, Gus,"
"Grandfather can test Farel now," said Farel makes Abdullah confused.
"What do you mean, Gus?"
"In the Shayah of Allah, Farel has been khatam 30 juz. Grandpa and Grandma could test Farel,"
"Randomize the last four verses in juice two!" without asking much more, Abdullah immediately asked his grandson a question. There was no doubt in him that his grandson could indeed.
Farel also recited the last four verses in juice two, namely Surah Al-baqarah verse 249. Abdullah started smiling and asked other questions as well as Jamilah.
An hour had Abdullah and Jamilah tested Farel's sincerity and Farel answered so smoothly without any doubt in him. Abdullah and Jamilah are now in tears. Tears of happiness, haru, pride, did not expect also to get something like this.
Abdullah and Jamilah embraced Farel and unceasingly kissed Farel and gave thanks.
"Grandfather wait for your full deposit,"
"Yes,"
"These words Farel gave to Grandpa and Grandma. Farel wants to make you proud. Farel wants to help you in the afterlife. Farel thanks Grandpa and Grandma who have loved Farel and Umma,"
"What you give is more than enough Farel. You've managed to make Grandpa and Grandma cry in the middle of the night hm?! You don't have to thank me! You are the most beautiful gift of God. Your presence in our lives makes our lives more colorful and meaningful. Grandpa Grandma loves you, too,"
"Farel too" answered Farel, kissing their eyes one by one to stop crying.
"Change and Umma do you know?"
"Yet. The next few days maybe,"
"You're so happy for us to be suddenly moved. Can't be happy later when your Abah knows you've been hafish. You may not be thankful for seven days and seven nights,"
Farel just smiled faintly. "Still at three. Grandpa Grandma rest again. Farel's going out,"
"Wouldn't you go to sleep?"
"No sleepiness. Assalamu'alaikum,"
"Wa'alaikumussalam,"
Without saying any more Farel went straight out of the room leaving Grandpa Grandma who was still smiling.
"Wake up!" farel woke up his best friend one by one.
They all woke up with great difficulty, even more so Dylan who instantly got a kick in his butt from Farel.
"What a hell of a lo, Rel! I'm awake, now!" it was Dylan's annoyance that made Farel snort.
"Ajud!"
"What is in the mosque?"
"Mosque," the four of them simultaneously nodded and immediately headed towards the mosque after changing clothes.
Farel's friends were the same as Farel's. Never leave the obligatory prayer. And they will not pray tahajud and dhuha because Farel always reminds and invites them. For them, Farel is not only a friend who can be invited to be happy in the world, but also to be happy in the afterlife. They were not wrong to be friends with Farel.
They have finished praying tahajud and teaching for a while before the santri woke up. They intend to surround the pesantren on this very early day.
"Rel, you see what, anyway?" yusuf asked, because Farel had been silent with a focus on a point that made them all follow the direction of Farel's view.
"That's not Nafsiha who gave medicine to you last afternoon? Who is he the same? How's handle?" ask Adam.
"Play on recording!" farrel's orders were immediately executed by them without much question.
Farel did the same. After a few minutes of recording, Farel gave them the code to end the recording. Without saying any more Farel went straight to Nafisha whose hand was held by Zaki, the santri who was looking for trouble with him earlier this afternoon.
"Take off Zaki! You are nothing?! Don't touch me!" muttering Nafisha while crying trying to release Zaki's check.
"Sha, I changed gini for you. Don't you want to accept me? How am I supposed to let you be with me?"
"If you shout we will be punished equally,"
"Ckck's great, huh?! This clock is alone in a quiet place. Hold hands too," said Adam made Zaki immediately release the check on Nafisha.
"What's the same story?"
"Well, nyolot aren't you the same as me?!" adam was about to take a step forward if Farel did not hold him back.
"So, what a bother,"
"Back you, motherfucker!" angry Yusuf.
"Free you guys were praying but already angry," said Afnan who made them all beristighfar immediately.
"Go!" said Farel coldly to Zaki.
"Who told me to go?!"
"Go or do we have to be whipped?!" threatening Afnan who made Zaki cluck annoyed and immediately left.
"Follow!" farel told Nafisha to follow him.
"Sha, you come, gih! It's safe, really. We will also come" said Dylan when he saw Nafisha's fearful face. Nafisha nodded and followed Farel.
Now they are already on the terrace of the mosque with a distance of several cm.
"Why cry?" the question came out from the lips of Farel who was standing before Nafisha while having his chest closed.
"Fisha has been held by another man who is not the Mahrom Fisha. It is better for Fisha to be pierced with hot iron" Nafisha replied in tears.
"Fisha?! Sha, why are you crying? Who made you cry?" a girl came over to Fisha with a panicked face.
"You who? Fisha why cry?" ask him on Farel's entourage.
"So he was caught together with santri," replied Adam with his leisure.
"Santri? Wh who? Zaki's? Huh yeah?" the question was answered only by a nod by Fisha.
"That son of a bitch yes, no one! Not being a person. Where are the people? Let me make you bonyok," the girl growled with her bars.
"So he's been a lot? Sampe hold onto Fisha's hand?" ask Adam.
"WHAT?! SO YOU WERE HELD IN THE SAME HANDS AS THAT JERK, FISHA?!" the girl shouted furiously while Fisha again nodded.
"Emang is usually not held?"
"No! Because I usually directly narik Fisha, but I was kebelet boker," replied the girl loud and blunt.
"So, why don't you just go, Sha?" ask Yususf.
"So I was leaving, but he took my hand first,"
For some reason with him, Farel felt something strange about him. She feels angry seeing Nafisha crying and she is angry Nafisha is touched by another man.
Unwilling to think hard, Farel immediately took out his handkerchief and placed it onto Nafisha's lap. Without another word Farel immediately passed making his best friend follow.
"What's going on, Rail? Lo aduin or what? This includes harassment, yes. The girl just doesn't want to be held but held," asked Dylan seriously. As much as Dylan does, if there's a problem, Dylan could be the most serious.
"Gue report,"
"Emang should be. But will you also report Fisha?"
"Let my business," Farel replied making them nod in understanding.
"Whose girl, huh? How can my heart be so unhealthy?!" ask Adam.
"What bar?" ask back to Dylan, who was taken by Adam.
"Lo's taste is bar-bar so, Dam?" joseph's words made them chuckle a little, letting Adam snort angrily.
"Tomorrow we ask his name. If you need a home address," said Afnan.
"What's the home address for?"
"Once you want to lamar" replied Afnan who again made them laugh as well as Farel who chuckled little.
Receh. But that's their relationship. Always together when it's hard and happy. They entertain, share and remind each other.
Tbc...
