The Story of the Sky
Two Star

'' Akhi!, we all must understand the dilemma in this pesantren, right? In the last two years, we have felt discomfort in many ways. Ana, as the head of the dormitory, has a responsibility to overcome all the problems that exist in this pesantren. But to be honest, ana was completely helpless in the face of that Scorching Giant!''

'' Ana has also consulted Abah several times. However, Abah also seemed so helpless. In the past, when Kang Roshan and Gus Alif were still there, the lunge of the biang kerok was not as bad as it is today.''

'' Right kang Zul, this can no longer be allowed. Over time, this pesantren can disperse if the Biang kerok is not immediately removed from this pesantren.'' replied one santri.

'' That is why all of you! We need to find a solution immediately. In order not to come next month, he was elected as the new head of the dormitory.

'' Ana is not not willing to relinquish this post, but by Allah! Ana is not ridho that this pesantren is ruffled by him. Kasian Abah, if he reaches the boarding school that he has been guarding, destroyed by the Biang Kerok.'' Zul continued full of worries.

'' How about we do a large-scale demo at the village office?, we demand that Mr. Lurah be responsible for his son's actions!'' other santri proposals.

'' Ana did not disagree with antum kang's proposal. But, we mustn't be rash. Ana also does not want the events of the past to repeat. After all, Mr. Lurah and his son!, they are eleven twelve, of course the lurah will protect the biang kerok.''

'' We report to the authorities how is kang?'' another suggestion.

Zul took a deep breath, looked at his friends one by one, then he said:

'' Reporting it to the authorities requires proof of kang!, without strong evidence, it will make us who will be prosecuted again. Not to mention, we also have to keep the good name of Abah and our boarding school.''

'' So, what should we do now?''

After the proposal after the proposal has not been able to be used as the right solution to overcome the existing dilemma, Alan who had just listened silently, his heart began to be moved to participate a little in the discussion of the existing problems. He also felt curious about the person they called the culprit. Although he had seen the arrogance of the person they were talking about, but he also did not know in detail the football lunge.

While everyone was silent with their thoughts, Alan after he took a deep breath, he then opened the word.

'' Sorry guys, please allow it. I am as a new person in this place, not that I mean presumptuous. But, after I listened and also observed the problems, I finally had a conclusion.''

'' If I may suggest! for the time being, you should focus on the matter of choosing the head of the dormitory first. Because after all, to hinder the steps of the person you mean, the best way is to keep him from power. That way, at least there are still obstacles for him to do further.

Zul and everyone else in the place, were slightly amazed to look at Alan. There was an aura emanating from Alan. The look in his eyes as he spoke, as well as every word that came out of Alan's mouth, seemed to be filled with charisma that made them feel hypnotized. Every word Alan spoke felt so full of meaning. Short, solid, yet very heavy.

Although Alan is a new person, who they themselves do not know the background and character of Alan's personality, but. As Alan spoke, it was as if they were dealing with the figure of a leader, who was full of his authority and wise nature. Moreover, the advice that came out of Alan's mouth was indeed very reasonable, and was also the best solution that could be done for now.

'' Then, how can this ringleader get away from this boarding school?'' ask one of them.

'' That's what we think about later while walking kang!, but clearly, we must continue to observe the action, while continuing to look for his weak point. So that later can be a weapon, to make him no longer able to do his own thing in this pesantren.'' replied Alan.

'' Ane agreed!, this is the name of the proposal that Ajib'' shouted one of them while giving a thumbs up to Alan.

'' Ana too!, sampeyan is indeed a top markotop kang. It's tamvan, genius anyway. Anyway.., it's fantastic, bombastic and always.'' said santri who was sitting in the corner of the room.

'' Aiyya.., this antum, sok-sokan use English speaking all. What does it mean, no?'' santri said next to him.

'' Yes understand dooong!!, ana is that loh.' he exclaimed as he puffed up his chest and raised his chin.

'' Haish, understand!. Emang, what does it mean?''

'' Oh, ish.., that's what I am.!, he replied.

'' Aiyya, from now on, just a little, small, answer me no!. Don't-don't! I don't really understand, suck.., suck.''

'' Weh. Weh., antum ngremehin ana huh? that's his name is fudge tahu!'' answer again.

Zul, who had been watching them since, finally spoke up.

'' Yes.', so what does it mean to try?, from earlier kok antum just twirling around.'' said Zul began to be impatient.

'' Yes, yes, that's kang! Anyway, yes it is.'' finally santri who sat in the corner of the room gave an unclear answer.

'' Huu!. Basic sucks.''

In addition to Zul and Alan, they immediately rushed towards the young man in the corner. Caught her, then ruffled her hair in annoyance. Alan and Zul only watched the silliness of his roommates, chuckling.

'' Haish.., I thought from the beginning. That's it, only you can speak English. Basic dodool.dodol.'' said santri who is next to him, after being satisfied to vent his frustration.

'' Aiyya.., even then still aspire to have a wife of four!, suck.., suck.''

'' Huh.., you guys are. Ana just wants to express her support for the advice of the Alan kang, destroy it, and destroy the exclusive appearance of ana to this extent. Really too.'' he said with a pouting face.

Their laughter broke again, after hearing complaints and also seeing the disheveled appearance of the king.

'' Already, already.., this our friend. Look!, the appearance that was so exclusive, now it is like Saprul right? Hhh.'' said Zul chimed in complaints from his friend.

Suddenly Zul's speech even made his friends more open. Because, Saprul is the name of a madman in the area, who often hang out in front of the boarding gate.

'' Whoa.'., this Zul Kang, ana period wants to be equated with crazy people anyway!, really too.'' said the young man with a face that increasingly sullen.

'' Yes no kang.!, time, ana wants to call antum with the Saprul!. Ana was just joking.., don't be taken heart.'' Zul comforted her.

After their laughter had subsided, Zul seriously said :

'' Akhi you guys! what we mean by the Pandavas six earlier is: That now, we have regained additional people who will fight together with us, to fight the tyranny of the ringleader.''

'' It is true.., the number of students in our pesantren is many. Tens, even hundreds. But, who can think and act wisely, and also not rashly is very little.

'' Ana as the head of the dormitory son, does not want to be careless in recruiting people who will be partners, in carrying out the trust given by Abah in this boarding school. Ana always remembered the message from Gus Alif, before she died. Ana also always remembered the words of the Roshan kang, before the Roshan kang left this pesantren.''

'' Akhi.., antum are the seniors in this boarding school. Antum is also a chosen people, with the advantages and disadvantages of each of them of course. But ana is confident, together we will be able to overcome various obstacles that exist. Mainly in dealing with the problems that are currently plaguing our pesantren. And with the presence of this Alan kang in our midst, then automatically increase also the strength we have''.

'' To be honest, ana does not know how the nature and character of the Alan kang. But ana feels, if this Alan kang will be a source of our strength, in overcoming various obstacles that exist.'' Zul at length conveyed his point about the Pandavas six.

That day, although Alan had not had time to meet with Abah Ubaid as the babysitter of the boarding school, but Alan was officially a santri there. He was very grateful, that in the pesantren, he was well received. Alan was very happy, because he made such good friends with him.

Alan was also frank to his roommates, if he could not read the Koran, did not understand how to pray, and things related to other worship. However, Zul and the others did not demean him. Even they are happy, willing to guide and teach Alan in learning the Koran or how to pray and so forth.

...----------------...

That morning, Alan was getting ready to come to Abah Ubaid's residence, to sowan and express his purpose and purpose.

Meanwhile, at Abah Ubaid's residence, Ummi Hafshah was making tea for Abah Ubaid. Once ready, he immediately brought a cup of tea and also some pastries in front of Abah Ubaid who was sitting in the porch of his house.

'' Bah.., here's the tea! Drink first, mumpung still warm.'' said Ummi Hafshah to Abah Ubaid her husband.

After serving tea and also some pastries, Umm Hafshah then sat on the chair next to Abah.

'' Bah.., Abah know not the new santri?''

'' Which Santri is Ummi?'' saith.

'' That's Bah.!, who is from Sumatra.'' replied Ummi.

'' Why is he Ummi?'' ask Abah curiously.

'' She is Bah.., beautiful, obedient, diligent, smart again bah! If Alif were still there, it would be appropriate if he was a son-in-law said Ummi Hafshah.

'' Ummi.., I have.., do not remember Alif again. Later Ummi's disease relapses again.'' replied Abah after a long sigh.

'' Ummi was not remembering about Alif our son Bah.., Ummi just felt amazed by the child. Although he looks like he is bearing a hidden burden, but he really impressed Ummi's heart to him.''

Abah Ubaid did not give any comment on what was conveyed by his wife, he just picked up a warm tea made by his wife, then drank it little by little.

'' Abah.., from that time Ummi noticed, I think there was something Abah was thinking! Do you think about what the hell Bah is? how serious it looks!'' tanya Ummi saw her husband who had been staring often.

'' Ah. Ah, it's nothing Ummi. Abah just felt a little weird about Abah's dream last night.''

'' Didn't he, Abah had a good dream last night? how did you get to think of that? tanyanya was curious.

'' Gini is Ummi. Last night, Abah dreamed there was one star that fell in our place, but this star is not so bright. And before long, came another very bright star. The star then circled above our house and boarding school, like we were looking for something. Then, it finally found that faint star.'''

Abah Ubaid took the cup and drank it again. Ummi Hafshah shifted her chair even closer, she began to be interested in what Abah was telling her.

'' As the bright star approached the dim star, the faint starlight suddenly became bright. Then, he flew around in circles along with the bright star. After several times revolving around the area of our boarding school, the two stars went together.'' said Abah recalled his dream last night.

'' And that made Abah feel astonished! Even though the two stars have left this place, but our boarding area still becomes very bright, like when the two stars are still there. In fact, in Abah's dream, our place was very, very dark. So, to see the palm alone can not.'' continued Abah.

Ummi Hafshah mangosteen, his mind also imagined the story in Abah's dream. Right at that moment, there were two young men walking towards their residence...
