Trapped in a Sacred Prison
CHAPTER 40

"Where's my brooch?" he began to panic, really he did not want to lose the brooch, what would he show Ammar if he lost it? Her husband would misunderstand.

"Lisa, did you see my brooch? Which has the letter LA?" Ulfi approached Lisa who was still cool in telling stories.

"Brook? You got a brooch?" Instead of answering, the girl asked back.

"Ira, Ika, did you see my brooch that was written in LA?" ask Ulfi again to Ira and Ika who are sitting close to each other.

"La Bro? How's color?" ask Ika.

"Yes, I've never seen him but if you want to be helped, I'm ready to help you find him" Ira said.

"Gold color, yes help me look for it," Pinta Ulfi was so worried.

I wanted to ask the others, but Fira and Sinta who did not go to watch the training had now gone to sleep.

Ulfi's gaze was now on Sarah who was still reading in her bed.

"Sarah, please be honest with me, did you take my brooch?" ulfi asked desperately, he no longer knew who he should ask.

Hearing the accusation of Ulfi, Sarah immediately stopped her activities and stood face to face with Ulufi.

"Are you accusing me? Where's evidence?" asked Sarah with a sharp look.

"I have no proof but in this room only you hate me don't you? If you report me to the citizens I will accept, but not if you take the brooch," hiss Ulli stared intently at Sarah.

Sarah smiled obliquely, "it's very confident that you say no one hates you but me, try to be careful, there are some who hate you just that they are good at acting."

Lisa, Ira and Ika who heard Sarah's words looked at each other for a moment and then spread their shoulders.

"What do you mean?" ask Ulfi slowly.

"Well, I'll be honest, I did report you to the citizens, but I never stole your brooch, let alone steal it, just saw it I never did."

Uldi was quite surprised to hear Sarah's confession, of course he was angry, because of Sarah he and her husband had to separate for a moment. But his mind is now dominated by who has taken the brooch and who hates it.

"Who is he really?" ulfi's mind while looking at Ika, Ira and Lisa who were still staring at him, then he turned his eyes to Fira and Sinta who were already fast asleep.

A few days later, Ulli and his friends arrive at the end of the pesantren final exam, that means in a few more days the holiday will arrive and of course it will be used by Ulli to go home to Jakarta and meet his parents.

Although until now, Uelfi still has not found who the mastermind of the disappearance of the brooch given Ammar, he said, but he did not want to bother because he had thought of another way more powerful than using the brooch in the presence of Ammar.

If anyone does not like it, Uelfi chooses not to know, he wants to be friends with anyone calmly, without having to be quiet with each other as Sarah has been with him for the past few months.

"Alhamdulillah," a cheer of gratitude was now heard from the class that read Class 2 High School, and soon the inhabitants of that class will move to a new class.

"Yaa ukhti wa aki, what if before we go home we have a meal together?" syafri's proposal is now standing in front of the class.

"Where do you want to eat together?" ask Amel.

"Daus' house is close, right," said Lisa, making the owner of the name glanced sharply at him.

"Ah, right too, how's Daus?" Syafri now threw a question to the owner of the house, but the man was silent.

"OK fix, so tomorrow morning we will gather at the house of Daus, the brother of shopping to the market, who is a cook, but remember, never bother his mother Daus," syafri said and finally approved by everyone.

💮💮💮

The next morning, they had gathered in front of Paradise's house. Mother Firdaus who was very friendly made them able to immediately mingle in the house without feeling awkward but still maintain good manners.

And according to plan, the men will go to the market with a shopping list made by Ika by carrying class fees that they have been collecting regularly.

Pampering the class residents with class fees at the end of the semester is not a problem right, but the balance is quite good.

"Loh, Fira, it turns out you're the same class as Firdaus? Masha Allah," said Mother Paradise, holding both shoulders.

"Yes aunty, have not seen you for a long time," replied Fira so friendly.

Ulli and her friends who saw how the interaction of the two confused them, and now they look at Mother Paradise and Fira alternately as if asking for an explanation.

"This mirage used to be neighboring Ghafur's grandfather's house before moving to a boarding school. In fact, he used to play at home and look for Ammar when Ammar was on school holidays," explained Firdaus' mother who understood the meaning of the gaze.

"What?" scream them together.

"Well, it turns out you already know ustadz Ammar first before entering here well Fir," said Amel.

"Y-yes," he replied clumsily

"Why haven't you told me all this time? Did you like ustadz back then until you always looked for him?" ask Amel's friend.

But instead of answering, Fira seemed to immediately concern herself, as if she did not want anyone to know her feelings and also did not want to lie about her feelings.

"I'm sure he liked it, it's worth it that I often caught him staring ustadz Ammar with a different look," whispered Amel's friend to Amel but still heard by Ulli.

Ulli who was sitting not far from Fira only stared at him occasionally. Somehow his heart felt uncomfortable for the girl.

"Is it true that Fira likes ustadz Ammar, if it's true why Fira doesn't seem to hate me at all?"

"... Try to be careful, there are some who hate you just that they are good at acting."

Sarah's words instantly flashed through the girl's mind.

"If Sarah's words are true, is Fira the one she was referring to? Does Fira hate me?" inner Ulfi. "No-no, I don't want to open that fact, if it's true just let it go, I'll keep pretending I don't know" he continued speaking inwardly.

Shortly after, the men finally arrived from the market with a few bags of their groceries.

As the head chef this time, Ika wanted to cook chicken noodles with peanut sauce that is very liked by many people in that place.

One by one the ingredients were prepared, Ulli who basically did not know how to cook could only be a spectator. Sometimes he helps prepare drinks that Ira has made to be delivered to men who are cool to tell stories in front of the house.

Until 2 hours have passed, all food is now ready on the back porch of the house.

"Ulf, please call the employees here, tell them that the food is ready" Ika said.

"okay." Ulli immediately turned around and went inside the house to call Firdaus and the others in front of the house, but when he just entered the door, he accidentally bumped into someone and made them fall over, simultaneously, an object with the letter LA came out of her skirt pouch.
