Today Alvin left for his campus a little afternoon, because indeed he has a schedule of afternoon classes. 


'Assalamualaikum, where's Vin?' ask Fahmi from his recently connected phone.


'Mosquito'


'Gue ask you where Alvin is! not mosquitoes'


'Patience bang this no mosquito I mean do not get angry first, I'm at home, anyways why you call me all? my mother said Alvin. 


"When I just don't know where my mom is, ngenes very much my life" said Alvin. 


'I'm hanging up first' Fahmi turns off the phone unilaterally without waiting for an answer from Alvin. 


"There's no basis for him" Alvin said. 


"Shut my forehead, beware again already want at nine, fortunately I already duhaan"


Alvin got out of his bed to clean himself up. 


Do not ask where Alvin has money for tuition, of course he got a scholarship until graduating college the problem of living expenses gang somplak have a joint business that is now quite advanced. 


"Where's Alvin, Mi?"


"So don't know me too Za, I called instead he said mosquito try, I think the boy just woke up to sleep deh"


"Gue forgot Alvin like it's afternoon class"


Dukes…..


"Fahmi's pain……!!" cecep comments, because his head got a taboo from Fahmi. "Why didn't you tell me from earlier Cep" 


"Lu budek or deaf anything huh? I said forget weird…."


"Why can you forget?" timpal Star who just joined his gang. 


"Haraj or neng, forgetting is human nature, do not be mistaken human is the opportunity to forget loh, so if you forget the natural thing" Cecep spoke very firmly.


"If you often forget what Cep is called?" added Eza. "If you often forget that the name of the habit must be in ruqyah" 


"That means coming home from campus we find a place ruqyah dong?"


"Father Tang?" 


"Let you diruqyah first, do you often forget! how is Cep interested?" sahut Fahim while patting Cecep's shoulder. 


"Lu don't agree, we agree" replied the origin star.


"Because I am" Cecep murmured. 


"Patiently this Cep is a trial"


"Yes Za, the ordeal of confronting such people as you"


"Self-aware bro…..!" Eza, Fahim and Bintang spoke quickly. 


"Astagfirullah robbal baroya, Astaghfirullah minal khotoya" Cecep no longer know face his friends of his brother than mumet better sholawatan first. 


Alvin who had left for his campus with his pride motorbike, when the red light accidentally saw a man who almost harmed himself, immediately Alvin approached the man. After pulling the bike away in a safe place.


"Woi, what do you want to do?" alvin asked in disbelief, how not to be surprised the guy was pointing a knife in his own heart.


"Lo go this is none of your business" he kicked Alvin. 


"If you have a story problem instead of torturing yourself gini, the best place to confide only in Allah" Alvin advised. 


"But if you want to tell your problems to people who you can be trusted and give advice that can also be good"


"Lu Bagas right? management boy at Jakarta state university?"


Out of curiosity how Alvin found out about himself Bagas finally turned his head towards Alvin.


"Where do you know that?" ask him without expression.


"Obviously I know, I'm a child of Jakarta state university is also just another faculty aja lo" Alvin smiled at Bagas. 


"Gini deh better you tell me what your problem is now, who knows because lo the same story I God gave way to you open your own heart"


"Lo's sure?"


"Why not!, you are the same I have a problem I also have a problem, but the way we deal with and deal with our problems is different, because of course because our problems are different, because our problems are different, but sometimes man feels that he alone has the most serious problem, whereas God's wisdom will not test his servant beyond his means alone"


"What's your problem?and what is the evidence that God will not test his servant beyond his means?" ask Bagas. 


Alvin smiled at Bagas' question. "Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala has said in Al-baqarah's father's letter 286 which reads :


لَا يُكَلِّفُ اللّٰهُ نَفْسًا اِلَّا وُسْعَهَا ۗ لَهَا مَا كَسَبَتْ وَعَلَيْهَا مَا اكْتَسَبَتْ ۗ رَبَّنَا لَا تُؤَاخِذْنَاۤ اِنْ نَّسِيْنَاۤ اَوْ اَخْطَأْنَا ۚ رَبَّنَا وَلَا تَحْمِلْ عَلَيْنَاۤ اِصْرًا كَمَا حَمَلْتَهٗ عَلَى الَّذِيْنَ مِنْ قَبْلِنَا ۚ رَبَّنَا وَلَا تُحَمِّلْنَا مَا لَا طَا قَةَ لَنَا بِهٖ ۚ وَا عْفُ عَنَّا ۗ وَا غْفِرْ لَنَا ۗ وَا رْحَمْنَا ۗ اَنْتَ مَوْلٰٮنَا فَا نْصُرْنَا عَلَى الْقَوْمِ الْكٰفِرِيْنَ


"God does not burden a person except according to his ability. He gets (merit) from (virtue) he does and he gets (torture) from (evil) he does. (They prayed), "Our Lord, do not punish us if we forget or we make a mistake. Our Lord, do not burden us with a heavy burden as You have burdened those before us. Our Lord, do not give us what we cannot bear. Forgive us, forgive us, and have mercy on us. You are our protector, so help us to confront the disbelievers.""


(QS. Al-Baqarah 2: Verse 286)


So it is very clear the word of God"


"Then have you ever had a very serious problem?"


Alvin smiled again. "Even I barely know how to walk again like what, when I saw both my parents say the words separated just like that, as if they forgot that there was still me their child, he said, and even to this day I don't know where they are now, just the news I don't know"


"It happened since when?"


"Since I was in third grade High School"


Bagas was a little surprised by the life Alvin was living right now "Then how can you survive without them?"


"That's because God is all-powerful, when I was in ruin God brought me to meet a grandfather Hasan, who was, and by God's permission through Hasan's grandfather I can return to His ways and always surrender to Him alone. God is giving me a test as His servant, so we just choose where we will run after we get the test whether we will surrender to God or even turn away from Him who is all, all things, remember one thing Allah is all-pervading His servant's heart"


"Astagfirullah" Bagas immediately beristighfar, because it has turned away from the creator.


"So whatever the problem of suicide is not justified at all"


"Maybe God sent you to make me aware"


"Want to be part of my family?" tawar Alvin's. 


"What family?" 


"Gue's actually a motorcycle gang kid, but my quiet gang's most anti whose name makes a troublemaker"


"Are you the Alvin boss of the motorcycle gang?" tanya Bagas.


Alvin only nodded if what Bagas said was true.


"Who knows, I can be more open with other people"


"But you don't be surprised if the contents of the people in my gang are all somplak"


Ahaha!! apparently Alvin as the boss of the gang somplak admitted it.


"Is that why it's called gang somplak?"


"Not that, Fahim will be clear about you"


"Remember that brother hidayah was picked up, and God gave it to those whom He had chosen, so you should be thankful that you did not commit suicide and you would take your direction, you know, in the Lord, Allah will give to his chosen servant"
