Not Promising

Salsa left for school at 8:00 because the distance between home and school is quite far, approximately about 1.5 kl. He left on foot. If on the way Salsa met a generous rider then the rider will offer a ride to him.

And sure enough, there was a motorbike passing by and offering him a ride, that person was a neighbor of Salsa's grandmother who was on a different RT to Salsa.

“Salsa!, going to school?” Ask the biker who stopped not far from Salsa's steps.

“Iyya om, why? Want to take a ride yah?” Salsa asked with a smile as if the question would come true.

“iya yes, let's ride between school until the front of school” replied the rider while directing Salsa to ride on the motorcycle he was riding.

Salsa was without hesitation riding the vehicle until arriving at school. Salsa school in SDN Harapan (Primname) in a village whose population is still a minority. In one RT there are only about 60-70 houses, and the distance between one house and another about 300 meters. Hours of study at Salsa school start at 8:30- 12:00.

because the home of the teachers who teach far enough from the school until the learning is carried out not at the usual hours that are done in other schools at 07:30.

Upon arriving at school, Salsa immediately looked for her best friend Difa. Difa and Zahra, SD's most patient and most diligent friends at Salsa school.

“Zahra Zahra, did you see Difa?” Salsa asked who surprised Zahra with her crumbly voice.

“ah you are a habit, call the kayak yell no fire” replied Zahra with a tone of annoyance because it had been startled by the sound of Salsa's cry.

“iya deehh I'm sorry, eh Difa where's Ra? You haven't answered my questions?” salsa replied in a heartfelt manner apologizing to Zahra as well as asking where the whereabouts of her other best friend Difa was.

“tuh Difa is behind the class again clean-up, there you help. I've cleaned up in front of class”. Zahra answered, frowning.

“iyya deh” reply Salsa briefly.

In spirit, Salsa immediately ran to meet with Difa just to tell her how her sister was developing this morning. Never tired of Salsa telling her about her sister to her friends.

Because Salsa's friends are so good that they never complain about hearing stories about her sister that almost every day Salsa tells, ranging from how fussy her sister is, to her sister laughs Salsa tells.

There is not a single moment about his sister that is missed from the story of Salsa.. Difa most loyal friends hear the ramblings of Salsa ranging from A to Z and his chatter is only about Salsa's sister who is said to be very funny and adorable.

After Salsa returned home from school, she reached home at 12:45. After which she took a break while playing with her sister Fawwaz, and in the kitchen was ready to have lunch for Salsa. After 15 minutes of stretching the leg muscles that are achy due to walking, Salsa took a shower to perform Dzuhur prayer, after that he ate greedily because indeed the energy used to walk with a distance of 1.5 kl is not small.

"Mom not eating?" Salsa asked her mother. "Mom ate with your father". Answer Fitri's mother.

"Ooh yeah, that means all this food can be Salsa, right, ma'am?" Ask Salsa who is still not satisfied eating.

"Don't kid, you're gonna go to school again, you're gonna go to school and eat most of it".

"Yeah, I'll be home from school if you want to eat again is okay".

After Salsa came home from Elementary School, she returned to school at 13.30-15.30. well this school is located closer than the elementary school. And this school is also different from her Elementary school. If in SD Salsa learn to read and count, well in this school he learned to teach, ranging from iqra 1 to iqra 6.

After that, continue to teach the Qur'an from juz 1 to the end of juz, which is juz 30. It is not finished here, after circumcising the Qur'an, again followed by learning to read beginner books, such as the book of fiqhi, the book of shorof Kh. Ma’shum Ali, Kitab Hidayatul Shibyan which is on the reef by Shaykh Sa’d Nabhan al-Hadrami, There is also the book Tuhfatul Athfal Karya Sheikh Sulaiman bin Hasan bin Muhammad Al Jamzury and many more.

Salsa schools that study during the day can be considered to learn about the science of religion. In the village of Salsa did set up a school to focus on the science of Islam, the residents deliberately built the school so that not only the world science that children can but can be balanced with religious science.

In the evening, every Friday’at night until Wednesday night, Salsa life is not like a child who is in other cities, on that night he was not at home because he went to the house of a teacher to teach Al-Qur’an. There Salsa also has many peers who also teach like Salsa did.

Every night, Salsa stayed at her teacher's house because no one was allowed to go home at night. So, the night that Salsa and peers live is to help ustadzah tie vegetables that will be brought to the market tomorrow, there are spinach, kale, basil, sop leaves and others.

After helping Ustadzah Ifa finished Salsa and the others went to the bed they had previously prepared each. Salsa prefers to sleep on the edge near the room ustadzah Ifa, next to it there is Zahra and also Difa. Before their eyes fell asleep, they first told about many things until finally one by one fell asleep like a bedtime story read.

“iiihhhh Difa, Zahra, you guys are already sleeping anyway, my story is not finished yet, let's wake up dengerin” pinta Salsa.

“Udahlah Sa, it is time to sleep, remember tomorrow wake up at dawn, do not be late. Ntar in ta'zir (punishment) same ustadzah” replied Difa was half conscious.

“ah gone, I also want to sleep, you guys are not as excited” grumbled Salsa while pulling her scabbard to close her eyes to be able to fall asleep like the others.

When the dawn adhan reverberates, the Ifa Ustadzah develops children to perform the prayers of worshipers.

“ayo children wake up, we pray jamaah” call ustadzah Ifa with soft tone.

“Iya ustadzah” replied one of the children by keeping their eyes closed.

“Salsa.. Salsa. It's dawn. Let's take ablution and pray, do not forget to wake up another” call ustadzah Ifa while holding the shoulder of Salsa.

“iyya ustadzah, Salsa has woken up nih” Salsa replied as she rubbed her eyes and tried to open her eyes and sat leaning back. Salsa used her crumbly voice to wake her sleeping friends.

“ui uiiiiiiiiiiiii wake up! Ayok dawn prayer. Who did not wake up and late ntar pilgrims are told to lift the sand from the river smaa ustadzah” threatened Salsa while making his bed.

Finally they wake up because they also do not want to get ta'zir lifting sand from the river.

Salsa and his friends are competing to get up to perform the morning prayers in congregation. After that, Salsa and the others jointly read the Surah Al-Waqi'ah which is in the 27th juz after the Surah Ar-Rahman.

When teaching Salsa and her friends raise each other's voices just to relieve the drowsiness that is still felt due to waking up too early.
