Prepare to Return to Pesantren

A few days later. Zul and his entire family, went to the boarding school by chartering a car belonging to his neighbor. Upon their arrival, Zul and his family were greeted by Abah and Ummi with warmth. Because they will live there in a few days, Abah has prepared a special house that they will occupy.

This house is not far from Abah's residence. Usually, Abah always places his guests who will stay at the boarding school in the house. Although this house is rarely occupied, but this house is always maintained. Some santri alternately, assigned to take care of and care for the house.

The santri who returned home before the month of Ramadan yesterday, now almost all have returned to the pesantren. They have also been told that on the 15th of Shawwal, Abah's daughter Naila will marry Zul, the head of their dormitory. For this reason, the students in cooperation with royong help prepare everything.

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

A few days before Zul and Naila's wedding. Fadil who still did not go to the boarding school, that afternoon he came to Tiara's house. He wanted to ask her if Tiara would attend Zul and Naila's wedding or not. When Fadil came there, he was immediately greeted by Mr. Syahroni and Ms. Lilis.

'' Assalamualaikum.'' said Fadil in front of the door.

'' Wa'alaikumsalaam.. Please come in, son! let's sit around said Bu Lilis, after answering greetings from Fadil.

'' Yes Ma! thank you, replied Fadil, then sat on the sofa opposite Mr. Syahroni.

'' Is there a broadcast?'' ask Fadil to Bu Lilis and Mr. Syahroni who was chatting together in the guest room.

'' There, a minute, son! The news is again in the back, replied Miss Lilis, then went to the back to call Tiara.

Before Fadil arrived, Mr. Syahroni and Ms. Lilis were discussing the matter of preparing for their marriage. Although the entire cost, and the series of events will be handled by Hartono as a representative of Sintya, but as the host, Mr. Syahroni and Bu Lilis also need to do some preparation. Among them is the issue of invitations for relatives and neighbors to know him.

'' You want to go to the boarding school again?'' ask Mr. Syahroni.

'' God willing, yes sir! You see, I have promised Kang Zul to attend his wedding. In addition, I have to take care of the project created by Alan there. Therefore, I want to ask Tiara, will Tiara also go to the boarding school again or not?'' answer Fadil.

Not long after, Miss Lilis and Tiara came from behind and immediately sat there. Mr. Shahroni then asked Tiara if she would return to the boarding school again and attend Zul and Naila's wedding.

'' Dad, mom! Tiara has to go there. Besides Tiara wants to attend the wedding between kang Zul and mbak Naila, Tiara also has not had time to permit boyong to Abah and Ummi. For that, Tiara asked permission from both father and mother, so that Tiara was allowed to go to the boarding school again for parting.

'' If you want Fadil, do you want to go there too?'' ask Bu Lilis who does not know that Fadilpun will go to the boarding school as well.

'' Yes ma'am! God willing.'' Fadil replied nodding.

'' The plan, when will Fadil go?'' ma Lilis asked.

'' God willing, tomorrow I leave. But I want to stop by Jakarta first, only after that I will go to pesantren.'' replied Fadil.

'' Who will Fadil go with?'' ask Mr. Syahroni.

'' Insyallah same Ulil sir. And if Tiara wants to go there too! mending us together, let there be friends. Or if the father of the same mother wants to come, may also add rame.'' said Fadil invite both parents Tiara.

'' How long will Fadil be there?'' ask Bu Lilis.

'' God willing, between two or three weeks. Depending on the situation and condition, ma'am! but at the earliest about a week.'' replied Fadil.

'' How is this well, do we need to go there nganterin Tiara?'' ask Bu Lilis to her husband.

'' Actually, I want to go there too Mom! There are many things we need to do to prepare for their wedding. What about you Tiara? are you not papa to the pesantren just the same Fadil and Ulil?'' said Mr. Syahroni staring at Tiara.

'' Yes if father and mother do not mind, Tiara is not papa Yah!'' answer Tiara.

'' What do you think, Mom? do we let them go without anyone accompanying?'' mr. Syahroni asked his wife's opinion.

'' Yes, no papa, Dad! tiara went the same way Fadil did! what matters is that you don't macem! remember that!'' bu Lilis said reminding Fadil and Tiara.

'' Yes ma'am..! God willing, Tiara can take care!''

Although Tiara and Fadil are officially engaged, they are not officially married. So either Ms. Lilis or Mr. Syahroni, they do not want these two prospective couples to do things that are not justified. Either by religious law, or by governmental law.

'' Again, please remember! Fadil, Tiara, you're newly engaged and unmarried. Take good care of yourself. Don't do things that shouldn't be done. Because, the devil will always try, to plunge people into actions forbidden by God.'' added Mr. Shahroni advising them both.

'' God willing sir, ma'am! we will remember your message. After all, other than just waiting for time, we also during the boarding school could not freely meet. I will also be very busy there. And of course, we will not have time to meet let alone do the thing you are worried about.

'' Then, how will you go home Tiara? do we have to pick up, or wait with Fadil? And also, who will accompany you to ask permission boyong to Abah and Ummi?'' ask Mr. Shahroni to Tiara.

'' Sorry, ma'am! maybe Tiara should go home with me. Later, while waiting for my business to be finished, let Tiara continue to participate in activities in the boarding school. And regarding the permission to Abah and Ummi, let me be the representative.'' said Fadil answer Mr. Syahroni's question to Tiara.

'' Yes, yes, then! we just told you to Fadil, please be careful on the road and take good care of Tiara!'' ma'am Lilis's message to Fadil.

After his affairs at Tiara's house were completed, Fadilpun immediately resigned. He then went home. However, before returning to his house, Fadil took the time to stop by at Ulil's house, which was not so far from his home. When Fadil got out of his car, Ulil who saw Fadil came, he immediately greeted him.

'' Wa'alaikumsalaam warahmatullah.'' said Ulil when Fadil just a few steps walk.

'' You are Lil! not even I said greetings, even already answered first.'' exclaimed Fadil who was confused by Ulil.

Ulil was just grinning as he continued to fan his sweat-filled body, using a fan made from woven bamboo. While fanning, Ulil then sat on a rattan chair in the house.

'' Mas Fadil, don't go in! here aja. You are very sultry inside.'' said Ulil from ceplos.

'' Hemm..ini it! the world's most irreverent host. The guest was not told to come in, instead he was told to sit outside. Anyway, you're not afraid of what? will it be captured by passing cats?'' Fadil.

'' Seized by a cat? how can?'' ask Ulil wonder.

'' Yes that.. Look at your body! I'm skinny, don't wear clothes, smell too. If there is a cat passing through the khilaf, you must be suspected of salty fish.hhh.'' said Fadil while pretending to cover his nose.

Seeing Fadil cover his nose, Ulil was curious. Is it true that his body smells like Fadil said. He then sniffed his two armpits. However, he who is always diligent in using the deodorant, does not smell like Fadil said. In fact, he felt the scent of his armpits was quite fragrant.

'' Ah, no smell of Fadil! this even smells good! try it if Fadil does not believe!'' exclaimed Ulil while showing his armpits.

'' Ishh.sono-sono! the salty smell of gini you say fragrant. Then, your nose is already erring lil!'' said Fadil while pretending to keep his face away from Ulil.

'' No, not Fadil! Suerr.. this is really fragrant! or do not-don't. because Fadil now has become a rich man, now began to eneg with the smell of the poor like me.'' said Ulil humbled himself.

'' Hemm..lekas, kumat.kumat! So taken by heart. Lil.. Lil, you know! if it wasn't for His destiny, I'd rather be who I was. Simple, but still happy.'' said Fadil with a serious face.

'' You know, how can that be so Fadil? isn't it nice to be rich?'' tanya Ulil astonished.

'' Yes I admit it! there is also good to be rich. Anything, everything can be done. But. ribetnya this Lil, I so can not relax kayak just yet again.''

'' For example, now this! I should be the one who wants to get married soon, can relax and just do a light job, so I can relax on his H day later.''

'' Tapikan, now Fadil mas can also be made relaxed. Moreover, Mas Fadil does not need to fear about costs and others. Not rich we-us, who must be confused looking for funds here and there.'' said Ulil who does not understand the situation that is being experienced by Fadil.

'' Yes, but Lil, what I have right now, is the trust of the owner of this body and his family Lil. If I just relax and do nothing, and only use all the means and infrastructure, what does the world say Lil?'' answer Fadil.

'' Therefore, Lil, as soon as possible I have to go to the boarding school, and do something that has become my responsibility there.

'' So, Fadil really want to go to Java? when?'' ask Ulil.

'' Inshallah tomorrow Lil. Therefore, I also want mastiin, you make it to Jakartanya?'' ask Fadil.

Actually, a few days ago Ulil was going to his workplace in Jakarta. But Fadil asked Ulil, to go there together. And because Fadil was still unable to ascertain when he would leave, finally Ulil was too late to re-enter his workplace.

Fadil asked Ulil where he worked. And when Ulil mentioned the name of the hotel where he worked, Fadil immediately understood and wanted to make a surprise to Ulil. For that, even though Fadil knew that Ulil was late to work, but he remained relaxed and did not worry in case Ulil would be expelled from his place of work.

'' Inshallah mas Fadil. I guess I need to find another workplace. You see, the hotel where I work, the rules are quite strict. In the MOU that I signed yesterday, if I am late to work for more than two days, then it means I have resigned. And now, it's been more than two days I haven't been in. Meaning, it is clear what it means.'' said Ulil a little heavy heart.

'' Relax Lil, you don't have to worry about that. God willing, you can still work there. I will help you, so that you can still enter work even though you are too late.'' said Fadil with rest.

'' Yes hopefully, what Fadil said is true. But, even if I can no longer work there, I sincerely kok mas Fadil. Maybe there are still other places that can provide a place for me to work.'' said Ulil.

'' Yes, Lil, just get ready. Tomorrow we go to Jakarta. I'm going back to Lil!'' pamit Fadil to Ulil.

'' Is Fadil going home? don't drink Fadil first?'' ask Ulil.

'' Lil was late.., You should have nawarin. It's my turn to go home, you just nawarin.'' said Fadil pretending to grumble.

'' No, not Fadil. If Fadil wants to! I made it yes! what tea is coffee? what milk?'' ask Ulil while standing up and going into the house.

'' Don't have to! it is too late for his marriage, replied Fadil who began to rise from his seat.

'' Is Fadil really going home? don't you want to wait for me to make a drink?'' ask Ulil again.

Fadil just smiled, then started walking towards his car.

'' Yes, if indeed Fadil really wants to go home, I can not help it. Than I'll drive out! hhh.'' cried Ulil who did not enter the house.

'' I already know Lil, you actually want to evict me right? that's why I'm quick to say goodbye first. That's why, the only host who is not polite, hhh.'' replied Fadil, replying to Ulil's joke.

While looking at Fadil who was walking towards his car, Ulil continued to chuckle. So did Fadil, until he got into his car, he also chuckled at Ulil's joke.
