It all started when Alvin wasn't okay. Alvin was in a state of chaos, Alvin did not know where he was going after that day when he saw his parents fighting badly, for the first time Alvin saw his parents fighting.

Alvin just got home from school.

"Okay then we'll get divorced!" papa Alvin's voice when saying divorce sounds very clear in Alvin's ears. 

Alvin did not know what because his parents had a big fight let alone say the words separated. This was never Alvin's imagine before.

"Okay who's afraid" challenge mama Alvin.

Again the voice of Alvin's mother made Alvin not want to enter the house, which is now a cursed formula according to him because of the quarrel of his mother and father, his father, instantly also memories in Alvin's past where he and his parents lived happily crossed his brain, but since his mother miscarried his mother's relationship tenuous papa mama, but,  even both of them jara returned home just busy at their respective jobs. Until they forget that there's still Alvin in their lives.

"Why do mommy and dad always fight when they come home?" musung Alvin's. "If you want to fight so much, it's better never to go home"

Alvin did not get into the house he turned on his motorbike which had just stopped in front of their house.

"They both forgot they had Alvin? what's wrong with Alvin until they forget that they still have children" shouted Alvin from the top of his motorbike.

Alvin riding his motorbike at a very fast speed may have been out of bounds plus heavy rain that flushed adding to the impression of sadness that Alvin felt. 

Until Alvin is not aware of where he is now, which Alvin felt the forest was very beautiful seen from the outside may be terrible but when entering a little from the road it has a very beautiful atmosphere. 

"Aragh!" alvin shouted he spilled everything in the forest, Alvin put his motorbike to just about anywhere. 

"Why is my life gini?, why do mama papa always fight?, and why do you go deck!" scorching Alvin again.

"You both know if it's not just that you feel the loss of a child but I also feel the loss of a sister, why you only attach importance to your own ego, hahh!" rancau Alvin's. 

Alvin who is a hoodlum turns out to have a dark thing, the harmony of his family that continues to erode makes Alvin become a hoodlum.

"Don't mistake Alvin for hating you!" alvin's eyes kept blushing. " Alvin wants us to go back to what we used to be, but why do you never seem to care about Alvin again" he added.

Alvin continued to babble and scream indistinctly until it disturbed a shack owner located in the very beautiful forest. 

"Son!" calling a grandfather from the front of the hut approached Alvin who was in a state of chaos, Alvin did not answer the grandfather, Alvin just stared straight ahead with a blank view. 

"Son! come along, it's not good to yell so much less this in the woods" the grandfather advised. 

Alvin without refuting following the footsteps of his grandfather reprimanding him towards a simple hut might have almost collapsed the hut. 

"You cleaned there first" the brother pointed out a well not far from the old hut. 

Again Alvin just according without arguing, today for the first time an Alvin, a person who always lives luxury bathing in the well plus drawing his own water.  Finish bathing Alvin invited grandfather to perform congregational prayers. 

After the prayer, Grandpa invited Alvin to sit with him. "Son!" said grandfather while patting Alvin on the shoulder. "All are trials and trials, no matter how much trials and trials you feel, all do not exceed your level, because the Gusti Allah will not test his servant beyond the limits of his own ability" grandpa's advice.

"Yes cake, can Alvin ask?"

"Please son, you can ask anything if in the Lord, grandfather can answer, grandfather will answer" 

"Just call Hasan's grandfather Alvin" Hasan's grandfather replied with a smile.

"May Alvin ask again?"

"Please son Alvin"

"Whose grandfather lives here?" 

Alvin asked like that because he was very sad to see the state of Hasan's grandfather. Grandpa Hasan chuckled at Alvin's question. 

"Grandfather here lives alone son Alvin, grandfather is just a kara" replied Hasan's grandfather chuckled.

The answer Hasan's grandfather gave back made his heart full.

"We should be grateful for what we have, son Alvin, because all that is only a temporary deposit, after that we will be accounted for with all that we have"

"If you want to be a hero, be a believer" said Hasan's grandfather. 

"What do you mean cake?" alvin asked who did not understand.

"That is to say that even though we look like a wretched person but our heart and soul are not merely we are lowly servants of God, we in this world are only a temporary stopover, he said, it's like a guest at someone's house after that will go back, that's how we are in this world" 

"Many people who judge someone just from the cover alone, some look pious but it turns out to only cover the ugliness but there is a cover like an ordinary person turns out he is a person who is actually good" continued grandpa Hasan. 

Alvin's meeting with Hasan's grandfather today changed Alvin's mind all along. Many lessons that Alvin got from Hasan's grandfather, today Alvin is very grateful to be met with a figure like Hasan's grandfather. 

"Grandfather, how long have you been living here?" alvin asked the stale base he had no more questions because he was confused.

Every time Alvin asked Hasan's grandfather never displayed the sad feeling that Alvin saw Hasan's grandfather was always happy.

"About thirteen years old" replied Hasan's grandfather casually. 

"What, 13 years on your own cake!?" the Homboh Alvin

Grandpa Hasan smiled when he saw Alvin was shocked to help Alvin smile again. "Yes thirteen-year-old grandfather lives alone here"

"How can a cake last for thirteen years?" I don't know why Alvin became so curious about Hasan's grandfather's life. 

"Because grandfather has God, everything belongs to God" although Hasan's grandfather's answer is very simple but can make Alvin aware if all is just a deposit, all the advice of Hasan's grandfather means a lot to Alvin. 

"Why is Alvin allowed to play here often? is it okay if Alvin invites a friend here?" alvin asked with hope.

Again and again Hasan's grandfather smiled happily. "Grandpa was even happy if anyone wanted to visit in this simple house"

"But don't be surprised if the cake later appearance of friends Alvin the same as Alvin gini, the appearance of the hooded" he said not tasty.

"Grandfather won't be surprised son Alvin, you all look like that for sure because it's comfortable"

Since that day Alvin got a lot of learning, since that day Alvin and his friends often visited Hasan's grandfather's hut, they learned many things from Hasan's grandfather, and he learned many things from his grandfather, they even learned to teach with Hasan's grandfather.
