LAILA TO KANG ROHIM
Chapter 86 Tirakat

Days change, Umi Laila and Abi Rohim still remain istikomah by giving his knowledge to the santri. Their daughter's son also along with the change of time has come to age. Furqon was already in the 7th grade of Junior High. The eldest Umi Laila has been deposited in one of the Salafi pesantren located on the island of Java. The daughters of Nuaima and Munir are about five years old. Ayu and Lulu become girls. Ayu has even graduated High School while Lulu is still in the First Intermediate bench.

Ba'da Isya, it appears that Mr. Toha and his wife came to hand over his son, Rendra, to go to the boarding school of Kali Bening. Umi Laila and Abi Rohim welcomed the intentions of Mr. Toha and the Wife. Rendra just sat in 6th grade. Mr. Toha's decision to house his son because his son is so hard, while the condition of his wife who has a toddler child, makes the wife quite overwhelmed to care for and educate Rendra.

Like other students, Rendra was treated the same. Nothing special. Both from the bed, food and the treatment of Umi Laila in the restaurant even though Rendra is the son of Mr. Toha. The figure who has always helped Abi Rohim from the time he was still single until now has had many students.

Three Months Rendra can not be visited. It was a rule that Umi Laila made for every new santri. But because of the distance of the cottage and the adjacent house makes Mr. Toha's wife unable to join the tirakat. He always called his son when Rendra was about to leave and go home to school. Just one month in Pondok Pesantren. Rendra had told the mother not to feel at home.

That morning when going to school, Rendra was already in later by his mother in front of the house.

"What's up, son? Why is it so pale?" Ask Mr. Toha's Wife.

"I'm not at home, Mom. I often don't get vegetables when I eat. I often don't even sleep with a blanket. My friends are all naughty." Rendra's complaint to his mother.

"So you didn't have breakfast?" Ask Bu Toha worried.

"Yes Mom. Umi Laila also always pinches me, she also often distinguishes me with other santri." Rendra's Hasute.

Which mother is not satisfied her heart hears the grievance of the child. But without Bu Toha knowing, he had violated the rules made by Umi Laila. Not to meet his child at the beginning of the child's life. Not even three months, Bu Toha has met the child. Not only that, since the incident that morning, Bu Toha often gave money to Rendra. Every morning Mr. Toha's son will get pocket money from his mother. Though from the cottage, Umi Laila has been giving as usual.

Umi Laila had actually made breakfast every morning. But Rendra who does not like the menu makes him never want to eat breakfast. He even took breakfast but threw it away. Not to mention at night, Rendra will disturb his friends who are smaller than his age. Sleep time is sometimes used to nosy at other santri. In the morning during dawn time, Rendra even repeatedly had to pinch Umi Laila because when it was almost Adhan, he was still asleep. No one can wake him up. Let alone Rendra, Furqon when he was 8 years old only began to be applied by Umi Laila. He will be firm on the one that is said to be obligatory.

Back to the assertiveness of Umi Laila made Abi Rohim have to remind his wife. Abi Rohim sees Umi Laila angry with Rendra.

And there was an incident where Umi Laila looked so angry at Rendra.

"Let's say, where'd you get the money?" Umi Laila looked at Rendra.

Mr. Toha's son was found Umu Laila smoking in the back of the dormitory santri putra. Actually Umi Laila often suspected a few days ago, he saw cigarette butts in the back of the dormitory. So that night, he deliberately hid behind the dormitory santri putra.

Abi Rohim, who had just returned from his pitcher, sat down beside Umi Laila. He opened his skull and looked at the wife.A glance from Abi Rohim at the wife, a code of Furqon's father's curiosity. There is a matter of what, because he has seen rattan commonly used to punish santri who violate the rules of the cottage.

"This rendra was caught smoking Bi." Umi Laila.

Abi Rohim looked at his sorcery.

'O Allah, the only One who can educate a santri is You. Maybe santri-santri like this we must be taught patiently. Because it could be our test is through santri-santri.' The Inner Abi Rohim.

"Jawab, where'd you get the money?" Ask Abi Rohim.

Umi Laila was actually worried that Toha's son was stealing. Because he observed that the boy never had breakfast, then he often snacked when he came home from school. Umi Laila does not know about Mr. Toha's wife who always gives more pocket money.

Rendra did not answer Abi Rohim's question.

"Rendra, how many months have you made so many violations. Including smoking, I now ask. Where do you get cigarettes or what?" Ask Abi Rohim.

Rendra remained silent. He felt angry like that. If he was with his parents, he might have been angry. Somehow his lips were hard to answer and were arrogant to his teacher.

Rendra also said that he bought. When asked where the money came from. Santrinya replied if given by Bu Toha. So that night before the break, Umi Laila and Abi Rohim also talked for a moment about Bu Toha who broke the rules made by Umi Laila.

"Where is Bi, I'm not good if I have to talk to Ms. Toha about this." Umi Laila said as she rubbed Ayra's back. The youngest daughter of Umi Laila is more difficult to sleep than Rahmi and Mida. He was very spoiled, his back had to be wiped long enough until he could fall asleep. It began when he started the 'sweep', or other languages separated from ASI.

"Yes should be told about this Mi. Let Bu Toha know his mistake. We really did educate Rendra. But her mother broke the rules. Repot Mi, fear her later Rendra." Abi Rohim.

The next day, Umi Laila met Rendra's mother at her residence. As she was welcome to enter, Ayra and Lulu waited on the porch of the house. Because Umi Laila is going to Sumber Waras. He was also taken by Lulu. Umi Laila can not ride a motorcycle, then santri-santri abdi ndalem is the one who will take him everywhere.

"So ma'am, I've come here to tell you something." Umi Laila.

"What's up Mi?" ask Bu Toha to worry.

"Mom, last night Rendra was caught smoking. When I asked where the money came from, he said he got it from Mom." Umi Laila.

Ms. Toha was a little misbehaved. He was ashamed because he broke a promise with Umi Laila. He promised not to see his son for three months. But the affection that can not be held to join tirakat.

"Mom, tirakat is an attempt to curb lust. One of them, the lust of the child when mondok. All must be concerned so that the knowledge can be quickly entered. And the success of the child when the mumps also depends on the mother at home." Umi Laila.

In practice in the world of tirakat pesantren can be many things. Such as sunnah fasting, ngrowot (leaving to eat rice), not coming home from pesantren for three years, little food, little sleep, and others. Even really learning itself is already a form of tirakat. Because diligently learning means having left many things unprofitable. But for new students, tirakat at the beginning is not the meeting of children and parents at a predetermined time is also one of the efforts of tirakat between children and parents.

Umi Laila deliberately set 3 months time for new children should not be visited or found.

"Sata knows Rendra's dear mother. But loving a child does not mean obeying everything the child wants Mom. Children are difficult when mondok, it's okay.it's the form of the child's tirakat. Parents have hearts and prayers." Pinta Umi Laila pad Bu Toha.

That day, Bu Toha realized that what was reported by Rendra yesterday was not true.

"I think Rendra really didn't eat breakfast. So give me the money." Miss Toha.

"Maybe the menu is ma'am. I saw that Rendra was eating it had to use side dishes continuously. I beg you, if Mother has left Rendra to me. Help me not to see Rendra first Ma'am." Umi Laila.

Indeed, one of the risks if the house santri is close enough to the cottage makes parents can more easily visit but bother when the boarding school applies the rules and is violated by the santri guardian. Trivial for Bu Toha to give money to Rendra. But the impact, the pocket money more make his son follow the school friend who said if he was a 'cemen' child because he did not dare to smoke. Though the children were aiming for more pocket money Rendra could to buy cigarettes. They can also give away free cigarettes.

When Umi Laila resigned, he reaffirmed his purpose to the residence of Bu Toha.

"I beg Mom. We both fight. God willing, I will keep the trust of my mother, Rendra. As God wants, neither I nor my mother wants. Help prayer and strengthen the heart, Ma'am." Say Umi Laila when saying goodbye.

When approaching the terrace. Bu Toha held Umi Laila's arm.

"Mii... Don't say the same father yes if Rendra smokes and I love the pocket money more." Said Toha.

Umi Laila just smiled. Inwardly he was eager to advise Bu Toha if this would backfire on the children when the mother hid the child's mistakes from her father because she was worried that her father was angry.

"I promise you, Mom. If it fits Mr. Toha to the cottage and hear from other santri or his Abi. Monggo I say goodbye first." Umi Laila.

Ms. Toha was pensive that day. He regretted his actions. He could not have his son live concerned. Intentions want to please their children even end with the mischievous child.

"But Umi Laila never lies." Bu Toha muttered to himself as his little heart whispered that it was possible that Umi Laila was making up about her son.

'But Rendra's a good boy, submissive, not naughty. Umi Laila just doesn't like Rendra.' Bu Toha's heart has been possessed by demonic whispers.

Whisper to think negatively of the child's teacher. How the child entrusted will be better, will get knowledge from his teacher if parents only have bad thoughts about parents. Bu Toha's attitude is more in line with a term that is often said by Mukidi kang when meeting a santri guardian like Bu Toha. Leave their children in boarding schools but want their children educated with the same as parents at home,

At that time the guyon kang Mukidi in Rohim with a case almost similar to Bu Toha and Rendra.

"Well then, his head is off, his tail is in his grasp. How the child moves forward." Celoteh Kang Mukidi at that time. When there was one of the santri guardians did not accept his son pinned Umi Laila. Though the child who began to menstruate, softek that was thrown carelessly without washing first. Making Umi Laila tired reminded many times. Last time her husband saw that thing. When he was not well, Abi Rohim burned garbage. So Umi Laila who feels if it has to be a little firm. But the report of the other child with reality to his parents, that's a story of the kinds of attitudes of children and santri guardians that must be faced Umi Laila and Abi Rohim.
