Trapped in a Sacred Prison
CHAPTER 10

That afternoon, the day was getting hotter, but did not also dampen the footsteps of Ulli to Hasan's grandfather's house. The plan he wanted to contact his parents again to ask directly why they could not visit him. If the reason for the cost, it is very unreasonable, because going back and forth from the country every day will not make his parents' finances shift.

Amel's words that afternoon was enough to make him not calm and anxious. Ulli is self-aware that while he has never made his parents proud, he often makes problems rather than achievements. Moreover, the problem yesterday that was caught by the police is definitely embarrassing both parents.

Ulfi continued to move her legs closer to Hasan's grandfather's house, but her steps suddenly came to a halt as she saw quite a number of people in the house.

Not wanting to interfere, Uelfi finally decided to turn the direction to the princess canteen and sit in the gazebo in the canteen yard.

So much he thinks about right now. Starting from seeing how to eat his friends who plate together, making him feel very uncomfortable can even be said he felt disgusted to eat like that, because all this time he always ate alone and never once he ate with someone in one plate, including his parents. Not to mention that he was very tired of hearing the complaints of his friends who were punished for his actions, plus his shame was revealed by Amel, it felt like this time he had lost face in front of his friends, he said, then what's the point of him staying with them here?

Shortly after, still in the midst of his unrest, a pick up car came across the cafeteria yard. Ulfi watched the car while leaning his head on the gazebo pole, apparently it was a car that delivered groceries every day to the pesantren. Seen the driver who took out one by one food from the tarpal-covered car deck.

Looking at the empty car deck, Uelfi again thought of escaping, so he could feel a little relieved to be freed from the shackles of the holy prison that really tortured his birth and mind.

With a sneak, Ulli walked to the back of the pick-up car and infiltrated into the tarpal-covered car deck before the driver returned to his car.

Until a while later, the pick-up car began to drive away from the boarding school.

At night, Hasan's grandfather and Ghafur's grandfather and his youngest son were still chatting casually after they had a serious conversation.

However, suddenly Hasan's grandfather's phone rang where Fauziah's ustadzah name was again plastered on his phone screen.

"Kira let alone what my granddaughter did until the hostess called me back," she muttered inwardly as she stared at the screen of her cell phone, her heart pounding a little, hoping that her granddaughter would no longer do anything offensive.

"Assalamu 'alaikum?" said Hasan's grandfather after sliding the green phone icon on his phone.

"..."

"What's? Any more?" his grandfather Hasan screeched while patting his eel.

"..."

"Alright, I'll look for him, thank you, assalamu 'alaikum," Grandpa Hasan ended his call.

"What's Hasan?" ask grandpa Ghafur curiously.

"My grandson, he ran away again" said Hasan's grandfather. "Where else is he this time?" he continued with a trembling voice.

"Hasan, relax, I will call my son, who knows your grandson is coming again there," Ghafur's grandfather suggested and then call Firdaus's mother's number. A few minutes later, the call ended.

"Your grandchild wasn't there" she later tweeted.

"Astaghfirullah, where should I look this time?"

"Let me help find him sir" suggested Ghafur's grandfather's youngest son who had been silent since.

"Thank you son" said Hasan's grandfather.

Hearing the youngest son's proposal, suddenly an idea crossed Ghafur's grandfather's mind.

"Hasan, I have an idea, what if our plan was to go ahead this afternoon, who knows that your granddaughter won't run away again."

Grandpa Hasan looked silent, for a moment he thought while tapping his finger on the table.

"If I am any good sir" he replied.

The cold temperatures on top of the car woke up a girl who was asleep inside the tarpal-covered car deck.

Feeling that the car he was riding stopped, Ulli shuffled out of the deck of the car.

"Geez where am I now?" monola when looking at the situation around the car is very quiet. There was only one house in that place, but it was already dark. The only lights there are street lights that are too far from the car park.

Slowly the girl saw the faithful watch circling her wrist. " Geez, it's 12pm, but where's the highway? oh my goodness I'm scared." Ulli cursed his stupidity that accidentally fell asleep, if only he did not fall asleep of course he still had a chance to find a car that could take him to the city, he said, that way he can go directly to the airport to fly to Jakarta.

Still standing near the car, Ulli suddenly saw someone from afar walking towards her. Quickly, he re-entered the tarpal-covered car deck.

"Geez who is that guy, why is he hanging around at this hour? Is he not a thief?" ulfi mind with body that started to shake.

The longer the sound of footsteps gets closer to him.

"Grandfather, Uldi is afraid, forgive Ulli who again broke the grandfather's rules, Ulli promises, if Uldi survived Ulli will recite what grandfather said," he said in his heart increasingly frightened.

Now there is a tarpal sound that is being opened the rope.

"Geez I'm so scared, did I pretend it was the next time?" his mind again then immediately closed his eyes when someone opened the tarpal of the car.

"Ulfis? you why?" said a man while shaking Ulfi's body.

"Why does this guy recognize me? Was yesterday's news so viral that it made me famous?" her inner self still maintained her acting due to being so scared.

Because it did not respond, the man finally decided to lift the body of Ulli.

"Geez, where am I going?" ulfi's mind thrashed.

Ulfi felt that his body was now sitting in a place that he believed was a car, and a moment later the car began to run.

Slowly Ulfi opened his eyes slightly, to see who was taking him at the moment, if he escaped at least he could explain the person's traits before the police. However, not even his eyes glanced at the man carrying him, the man's baritone voice first startled him.

"Away awake?" ask the man.

However, Ulfi did not answer, he chose to return to acting because he was very surprised.

"Here you go, stop acting, you're a santriwati, not an artist."

Hearing santriwati's words, Ulli finally immediately opened her eyes and turned her head towards the man.

"Gosh it turns ustadz killer, why not say from earlier that it was ustadz, I almost koit for fear of loh ustadz," said Ulfi cover his surprise.

"Who's the hobby of escape, huh?"

"Yeah wrong..-" Ulli stopped his words because he himself was confused as to who he should scapegoat for now.
