Penance (I'm a Sinner)
Chapters 11.

"Don't mind your name Holy, so you'll be a holy grail!" Vira started nyolot. He looks angry.

"Vir, relax." Sofia persuades Vira not to get angry.  The faces stiffened between the three of them.

The Holy One does not want to quarrel with his two friends. However, Vira and Sofia seem to force their will to bring the Saints back with them. Suci did not want to go home with his two friends, but he still wanted to learn Islam and worship. He also likes to live in the boarding house. He still wants to be in the pesantren. Suci even want to invite Vira and Sofia to change for the better and get to know the religion of Islam as well, just like him.

However, there was even anger from Vira. Vira did not like the invitation from Saints. He hates people who look pretentious and patronizing. He also did not like to see Saints turned into a village girl like now. Vira and Sofia had already painstakingly resolved all the problems of the Saints in the city and hoped that the Saints would return with them, but instead the Saints would not return together and instead invite them to stay in the cottage with the Saints.

Vira did not want to with an invitation from the Saints. Instead of succeeding in persuading and bringing the Saints home, even the Saints who invited them to follow the hyacinth and study religion. Vira looks upset. Sofia was confused as to which one to defend. On one side there is Saints good friend and the other Vira is also his good friend. Both are his best friends. Sofia could not choose.

The Sacred Intent was actually good, but the response of Vira and Sofia was another. They become quarreling. His face is still tight.

"Vira, I mean well, so that you and Sofia also learn Islam and worship just like me. For your good, too." The saints still persuade.

"No need, we don't need that. You also don't have to be so mean and patronize both of us!" Vira was angry.

"It's not like that, I mean well. However, if you don't want that, it's your choice. I'll stay here." Sacred decision has been unanimous to remain in the boarding school.

"Already, already. If the Saints don't want to come back with us already. Vir, we're back alone. You don't get emotional anymore Vir." Sofia wants to stop their debate.

"Holy, we're disappointed with you, we've tried but you don't want to come back with us. So you want to leave everything for the sake of living in a place like this . yes, we're going, we're going" Sofia added.

Sofia pulls Vira's hand. Sofia looks disappointed and Vira looks angry. The two of them finally left with a coed heart. Saints fell silent seeing his two best friends finally leaving.

After Vira and Sofia left, Saints went back inside. His face looks sad. Suci did not want to fight with his two friends, but he also still wanted to live in the boarding house. Why his two best friends do not want to understand the wishes of the Holy, Suci has felt a better life in the boarding school.

However, neither Sofia nor Vira understood the Sacred's will and good intentions.

The saint sat down lethargic and looked everywhere. Good who had long waited for Saints to learn to teach, finally looking for Saints. When found, Saints instead sat alone and pensive. Good to approach the Saints.

"Hem, apparently here. Not learning to teach, Suci?" good Stare. The Saints looked in a good direction.

It is good to see the sad face of the Holy One.

"Why?" tanya Good.

"I fought with my two best friends."

"The two people who were here were your friends?"

"Yes, Ustadz. I'm sorry I interrupted her teaching schedule." Sacred downcast.

"Why are they here looking for you? and what made you fight?"

The saint looked in a good direction. Looks shady face from Nice that calms. Suci felt Good was trustworthy, so he told Bagus everything. Whatever happened just now between Saints and Vira and Sofia has been told all to Good.

Good to listen attentively. He now understood what situation the Saints had been in.

"If the two of them were Holy Companions, it would definitely want the best for the Saints. Believe me, someday they will understand and will definitely return to befriend the Saints. A good friend is to support one another, to help and to pray for goodness."

Nice smile and the words from Bagus make the Sacred heart feel calmer. True too, if they are his best friend would want the best for him. If good friends will definitely come back later and understand each other.

"Hopefully Vira and Sofia can understand yes, Ustadz. May they also have guidance, Ustadz." The saint finally smiled.

"Aamiinu. I hope they can be a better person."

"Aamiin's."

Both smiling. From a distance, Zaki, Rara and Kania passed by and saw Sacred and Nice.

"Eh, they're getting closer and closer." Celoteh Kania's.

"Well, why does it look? kan Bagus taught the Holy about religion both prayer and teaching," said Zaki.

"It's not strange you guys, Nice who like to keep a distance with his name women are now even close to Saints" said Kania again added.

"Already ... already. Don't think the no-no. It's not good to think so." Rara advises Kania.

"That's it. Let it. Toh Nice handsome and Holy beautiful. They were married, not hehe." Zaki's chirps are finally sneered by Kania. The three of them just left.

Good and Holy finally began their lesson together.

***

Time keeps going. Day after day passed and month after month passed. The Saints are getting better. Good no need to bother anymore teaching Saints. Saints are already good at Salat and teaching. However, because now Suci is already the Qur'an then Bagus continues to watch over Suci.

A blessed month has arrived. Soon we will enter the month of Ramadan. In just two weeks they will start fasting. It is good to explain the obligations of Muslims in this blessed month. Fasting for a full month on Ramadan is mandatory for Muslims who are calm and sound.

It was good to explain to the Saints when they finished teaching together. The saint listened attentively.

"So Muslims are obliged to fast, Ustadz?"

"Yes. For those who are healthy and sensible. Saints ever fast?"

"Never." The saint lowered his head. How does he know if fasting since childhood is not taught. He is learning religion now he is learning. The saint was feeling sad now.

It was good to see Saints bowing their heads and looking sad.

"It has. Its alright. This means that this year is the first year of Holy fasting with others here. Wouldn't it be happy together in this cottage, would it?"

"Holy first year and month of fasting ...." The saint muttered alone.

"Is it okay, Ustadz? This holy man of many shortcomings and sins fasted?" The saint looked back at Good.

It is good to see the innocence of the Saints.

"Of course it's okay. Even if the Holy One truly repents, God will accept it." Nice smile.

Saints breathed a sigh of relief. Now they both smile.

The voice of the Sacred cell phone rang, distracting her Sacred and Good. Lately, some people have been calling Suci with a mysterious number. The Saints were often harassed and terrorized. The Saints themselves do not know who it is.

"Who's Holy?"

"I don't know, these days it keeps bothering." Saints slightly pouted looking at his phone.

"Let me take the call here."

"No need. I've never used it and I've never picked up the phone." Sacred forbids because he does not really care who the person is.

"But he keeps bothering, right. Therefore, we must be strictly Holy. Let the bully stop."

It was good to take the phone that was in Holy hands. It was good to get that phone call. After saying his greetings, Bagus asked who called.

However, Nice's facial expression was so astonished and somewhat shocked. The voice of a man on the other end who called.
