The day Reno regained her independence, and was able to breathe the air of freedom from the prodeo hotel that had shackled her all along. His footsteps were light with joy. Brother Reno stood staring at the tall, sturdy building in front of him. He couldn't believe he was getting out of there. Her tears spilled instantly, grateful for God's infinite gift for her freedom. The warden came and patted her on the shoulder slowly seeing the happiness in Kak Reno's eyes with tears in his eyes. They hugged for a while, dissolving in happy cries. "Congratulations on your freedom, Reno boy. Now you will begin the story of your new journey of life, " said the warden.

Brother Reno nodded and wiped away the tears of his novelty. The warden then immediately took him to rush to the parking lot and drove Brother Reno to meet his grandfather in another yard.

Before meeting grandfather, Reno visited his family's tomb which he had never done at all. Her tears spilled instantly, in a sense of tightness and bitterness that pressed down her esophagus. Not many words are spoken only climbing do'a in the grotesque voice.Not long after that, the warden drove Kak Reno to see grandfather.

Feelings of pleasure, sadness, longing, pity and full of diverse emotions coloring his meeting with grandfather.

The figure that used to look big and dashing in luxury, now his appearance is so changed. His body was thinner with an aging complexion that began to appear clear. The two dissolve in novelty and hug each other tightly releasing longing for the despair that has been set.Colving the sound of crying grandfather moved blue staring at the face of Kak Reno lekat.Dengan lips vibrate poignantly.Kakek is only able to mention the name of Kak Reno only. Brother Reno felt the deep sadness felt by grandfather. So slowly, Brother Reno grasped the fingers of grandfather who began old and weak. Then Reno said goodbye to express his desire to grandfather to deepen the religion.

Grandpa just kept crying and was unable to say anything. Until Reno left him. Grandfather continued to stare at Brother Reno's departure with his tears continuing to flow.

"Is Nak Reno okay?, "asked the warden.

Brother Reno nodded slowly and wiped his tears. After that, Brother Reno who was piggybacked by Pak warden riding a motorcycle, just kept quiet along the way. However, it occasionally seemed that Brother Reno took a deep breath while closing his eyes for a while. Brother Reno tried to erase his suffering would be a loss of meeting with grandfather.

The warden continued to drive his motorcycle, tracing every turn of the road.

As far as the eyes can see, Brother Reno still keeps remembering the condition of grandfather. His heart was so bitter to see grandfather.Where grandfather is the only family that Kak Reno currently has. Both of her eyes seemed to be floating full of tears, but quickly, she wiped the teardrops before falling down her cheeks. Heavy indeed his heart, seeing the bitterness of all his family members who were destroyed in suffering. But his heart was not immediately broken in the bronze. Brother Reno struggled to get up, despite being trained alone. However, he believes his efforts towards the path of goodness will bear sweet fruit in due course.

After several hours of travel.Motorcycle driven by the guard must pass the road that continues to climb and is about 6 kilometers away. Where the road has a contour of the ground surface with a slope and climbs that are quite steep, accompanied by a turn is on the path to the boarding school that will be addressed by Kak Reno and Pak Warden. This boarding school is in a very remote area, with an atmosphere so quiet and there is only one access road to be able to reach it. There are no public vehicles, even this boarding school is not in densely populated residential areas.

However, the natural atmosphere that is still awake can be seen from the many trees when entering the road to the boarding school. Along the way to the boarding school, there are a variety of vegetables, as well as many perennials and trees, like teak and jabon on the right or on the left side of the road.The area is still very well preserved its beauty.Where becomes a habitat for various grasshoppers, birds, crickets and various insects that stick and fly from tree to tree, and let out a loud voice.

After struggling, the warden finally stopped his motorcycle right in the parking lot of the boarding school.

"The place is quite far and difficult to reach, sir, " said Mr. Reno as he looked around the boarding school.

The warden took off his helmet, "Yes Nak Reno. God willing this place will be the best place for Nak Reno who will study religion. Here, the atmosphere is still simple and natural, even far from the size of luxury, also far from the hustle of the city, far from population density and traffic flow.But for the education system, thank God it has been designed modern. "

Brother Reno nodded his head while continuing to look at the area of the boarding school. From where Reno stood, as if he were above the clouds, because he could see the whole city where he lived. Not only a treat of the cityscape, even the clouds that enveloped the city. It looks so clear and close. The topography is at height and nature is still awake causing the atmosphere in the boarding school still very natural with the air is so cool.

The warden invited Reno to walk to enter the boarding school building.

"What does Nak Reno feel?Does Nak Reno like this place?, "asked the warden.

One day and one night, the warden spent the night in the boarding school that was still owned by his relatives. Then he said goodbye to Brother Reno, after Reno was accepted to study at the boarding school. Farewell tears accompanied the two.

"Thank you sir, for all the help and whatever you've done for me. May Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala return all the good you have done to me, " said Reno Haru.

The warden nodded while patting Brother Reno on the shoulder, "Take good care of yourself, Nak Reno. Remember what your purpose here is. Do not give up and give up, there is no success without a tremendous struggle, because the process will determine the outcome of our struggle."

Brother Reno then hugged the warden tightly, before releasing the warden went to leave him. Both are dissolved in the heat. Until Brother Reno had to stare at the steps of the warden away from him.

Huft, though,

Brother Reno took a deep breath to make his heart not dissolve in sadness.Pak Kyai who stood beside himself, patted gently on the shoulder of Kak Reno.

"Let's Reno, we go inside. "

Reno nodded and stepped on her feet, following every step of her new beginning.

Mas Fariz looked a little sad, because he could not see Reno again to say thank you again. Until Mas Fariz and I decided to go home. Before we both got in the car. The sound of someone shouting my name and Mas Fariz, who suddenly made me and Mas Fariz turned to find out who was calling us.

My eyes were on a male warden who was old and familiar to me. With his breath, he kept walking closer to us. Until I saw Mas Fariz smiling and greeting the warden. Vice versa, the warden also returned Mas Fariz's greeting warmly. And it makes me feel astonished to continue to pay attention to Mas Fariz and the warden.

"Oh, apparently the two of them already know each other, "my mind in the heart after listening to the conversation of the two of them.

Mas Fariz also asked about the whereabouts of Reno to the warden. But the warden did not know where Brother Reno was at this time, he told Fariz.

"After Nak Reno got a remission of his freedom, after that I do not know anymore where Nak Reno is Ustad Fariz, " said the warden lied to cover the whereabouts of Kak Reno.

Fariz looked a little disappointed.

"But before leaving, Reno left this letter to Nak Rani, " said the warden as he gave me an envelope containing the letter.

I looked puzzled while looking towards Mas Fariz. However, Mas Fariz nodded his head so that I could receive the letter. Then I slowly took the letter.

After that, Mas Fariz invited me to go home and say goodbye to the warden who still continues to look at our departure from before him.

In the car, I was still holding a letter from Reno. Then out of curiosity I opened the envelope simple paper, I read slowly so that Mas Fariz can also know what the contents of the letter. Although previously Mas Fariz had refused, when I would read the letter. The reason the letter was only shown to me and only I had to read it. But I kept insisting, so that Mas Fariz could also find out what message Reno's sister wanted to convey in that letter. Fariz did not refuse.

Mas Fariz who was driving a car also listened to the contents of Kak Reno's letter.

Rani, mani,

When this letter is in your hands.

Right now I am far away from you.

I'm sorry if I took this letter for you.

But there are words I cannot say when I meet you.

I went away from you, not out of frustration that I would lose you.

However, right now my soul is seeking peace in the love of my Lord.

I am willing and willing to let go of you.

And there is really no more resentment or anger of hatred in my heart.

I am so happy for your marriage.

Be happy to live your life.

Dedicate in devotion as a form of a wife of a sholehah, to your husband.

From a place where I am far away from you.

Do'a-do'aku.

I always promise for your happiness.

Who always loved Rani.

Reno.

I folded the letter and looked in the face of Mas Fariz who was also staring at me. The traffic lights are red. Fariz rubbed my finger gently and kissed it. My smile was beautifully engraved staring at the face of my priest.
