Trapped in a Sacred Prison
CHAPTER 7

The night was getting quiet and cold, a girl seemed to be curled up next to the porch of the residents' house. Intentions want to find a car that can take him to the city, but until 9 pm, no cars passing except cars owned by residents who pass by.

The cold of the night did not make the girl undo her escape and walk back to the boarding school, her desire to leave the holy prison was round, whatever the risk she was ready to face.

Until he did not realize, his eyes slowly began to shut because of fatigue.

However, just a few minutes into her subconscious, the girl was awakened by someone's voice.

"Hey wake up!" someone said from the side.

"Hey wake up!" he said with a higher voice.

"Engh." Uldi bellowed while squinting his eyes looking towards the familiar man in his eyes.

"Firdaus!" the girl said and tried to stand up.

"Why here?" ask the man flat like a blackboard.

"Ee anu, actually.-"

"If there is no business, go back to the cottage," Firdaus said without waiting for Ulli to finish his words, then about to step into the house.

"Wait," the great-grandson of Ulfi made Firdaus' move stop.

"Why are you here yourself?" ask Ulfi curiously. As far as the girl is concerned, the child who lives in the boarding school should not go in and out for no apparent reason.

"It's none of your business," he answered tightly without turning to Ulli and then about to step back.

"Wait, please help me," said Ulli again making Firdaus' footsteps again stopped.

"Please help me contact the number of the transportation agent heading to the city, I want to go to the city, please, plis plis," Pinta Ulfi while attaching her palms in front of her chest as a form of petition, he said, although the man did not see it because of his position that turned his back on Ulfi.

"Begging your grandfather for help" he replied again.

"God, you're why you're so sniffy, and another one when you talk to someone don't turn your back on them, you're not being polite at the poles." Ulli began to get annoyed with Firdaus' attitude towards him. His tired body added to his stomach that had been rumbling since, making Uelfi exhausted his patience.

"What's? The pole?" The man turned to face Ulfi so that his handsome face that had been hidden because of his head down was now perfectly exposed right under the porch lights of the house.

"Wow," Ulfi said unconsciously, making the man look down again.

"You should go home now" Firdaus said, opening the house at the same time as Paradise's mother appeared to hear her son talking to someone.

"What's the matter, son, who are we talking to?" firdaus' mother asked to look outside but was blocked by the body of her son who was much taller than her.

"There is nothing ummi" replied Firdaus.

Ulfi who thought Firdaus would let her talk to her mother ended up swallowing the pill disappointed that the man was trying to block her mother who was behind the door to look out.

"Ish, the polar base sucks, you don't know who you're dealing with," the inner Uelfi sneered cunningly.

"Huaaaa, hicks, tantee..." The girl showed her acting again.

Mother Firdaus who heard the sound of a girl crying on the porch of her house immediately pushed her son's body to the side, and now Ulli who was crying sobbing while squatting was clearly visible.

"Astaghfirullah, why are you crying son?" firdaus' mother said as she approached Ulli and crouched down in front of Ulli.

"Tante, please help me, please, I miss my family in town so much and I asked my aunt to call the transport agent so I could get there but instead of helping her throw me out, auntie, hiks," ulfi, made the woman who was about the age of four to enter the head of four was staring sharply at Firdaus, but who in the face only shook his head.

"God this girl is a very good at acting," Inner Firdaus.

"I'm sorry for the attitude of aunty son, son, he is indeed the person," Firdaus' mother said as she rubbed the back of Ulfi.

"If the night is like this, the transportation car has passed all over, at least tomorrow morning there is more," continued Firdaus' mother again. "Oh yeah, this school uniform is a uniform in the boarding school, why don't you just go to the boarding school and wait there?" continues asking.

"I was afraid to go home aunty, it was almost night and aaya was afraid, besides the room was also in the key," replied Ulli.

"So how's dong son?"

"Auntie, can I stay here tonight until tomorrow morning so I can go straight to the city tomorrow morning?"

Mother Firdaus was of course surprised, she then turned her head towards Paradise, and the man again shook his head with a mouth that formed a 'do' speech without making a sound.

"But.-"

"I beg aunty, would you let a girl like me be abandoned at midnight like this, hmm?" said the girl with teary eyes.

"Hmm well son, spend the night here tonight," Firdaus' mother said later.

"Ummi.-"

"It's okay, son, helping each other won't hurt us" Firdaus' mother said shortly before the child protested.

"Thank you auntie, auntie's good." Ulli immediately hugged the woman in front of him.

In the princess dormitory

Sarah and five of her friends who live in room one are now gathered in Fauziah's room. The six of them were sitting on a floor while forming a semi-circle.

"When did you last meet him?" ask ustadzah Fauziah.

"When the last hour of school was ustadzah, we didn't see him again after school and it didn't seem like he went home to the dorms because his bags and shoes weren't in the room" Sarah replied at length.

"Is he with Hasan?" his monologue. As the hostel builder, Fauziah's diploma was given direct mandate by Hasan's grandfather to monitor his grandson.

Finally, Ustadzah Fauziah took his cell phone and contacted Hasan's grandfather.

"Assalamu 'alaikum sir," Ustadzah Fausziah told Hasan's grandfather across the phone.

(...)

"Sorry to interrupt, is Uldi with you?"

(...)

"What's? Asfaghfirullah, said his friend here, they last met at the last hour of school."

(...)

"Well sir, wa'alaikum salam."

"How's ustadzah?" ask Lisa.

"She is not there either, but her grandfather will look for her" replied Ustadzah Fauziah.

"Did Ulfi run away?" great-grandson Sinta.

"Huss, don't wait," Lisa said.

"You just pray, hopefully soon there will be news" said Ustadzah Fauziah.

"What is Ulli Hasan's grandfather's grandson?" chirps Fira made everyone look towards her.

💮💮💮

At Hasan's grandfather's house

After receiving a call from Fauziah's ustadzah, Hasan's grandfather's face looked very worried. How not, Ulli is his only grandchild, and he loves her very much. Getting word of the grandchild's disappearance took him quite a hit.

"What's Hasan?" ask Ghafur's grandfather who happened to live in the same house as Hasan's grandfather. Both agreed to live in the boarding school they built when their wives were gone, they did it to comfort those who sometimes felt lonely and longed.

"My grandson, my grandson is missing, he's not in his dorm" Hasan's grandfather said in a voice that began to shake.

"Look back, I'll ask my granddaughter to look for him, he just happens to be getting permission to go home to see his sick sister." Ghafur's grandfather took his cell phone to contact his son so he could talk to his grandson.

After a while of talking, he ended his phone call.

"Thank God your grandson is at my son's house, he says he wants to wait for the car to go to town tomorrow."

"Is he planning to run away?"

"Maybe, tomorrow I'll have my youngest son pick her up."

"What if he doesn't want to and runs away again?"

"Just calm down, it's not going to happen." Grandpa Ghafur now smiled meaningfully.

💮💮💮

Next day.

Ulli was getting ready to go home at 6 this morning, because Firdaus' mother said the car would come to pick her up in a moment.

"Tante, thank you for letting Ulli spend the night here and calling the transport driver for Ulli."

"Yes, son, it's not the aunt who takes care of it, it's all handled by Firdaus."

"Where is aunt?"

"She's been back at the boarding school since the dawn prayer."

"Ooh." Ulli rounded her lips while nodding.

Shortly after, a car stopped in front of the house. With so much enthusiasm, Ulli immediately got into the car and sat down beside the driver.

The car started to go. Ulfi so enjoyed the morning breeze that was so cool hit his face through the window of the car that he accidentally opened.

"Where are you going?" ask the driver who is currently wearing a mask so that his face is not clearly visible.

"To the city sir," he replied casually.

"Oh.."

Because he was so sleepy because he woke up too quickly earlier, Ulfi slowly began to sleep in the car. I hope when I open my eyes I get to the city.
