The pedicab pedaling pedicabnya looking for passengers, the clattering of horse legs that attract andong also enliven the atmosphere of the morning. Public transportation seemed full of passengers, ranging from mothers berdaster to children in school uniforms.stalls on the side of the road had issued the aroma of their own cuisine, respectively, saberang asongan began to offer his snacks when the vehicle stopped at the intersection of red lights.


From the bus that will take him to the boarding school Miftahul Ulum, Gus Hasan observed the activities of the people of Jogja. Like four years ago, nothing has changed. Four years of education in Cairo, Egypt, makes Gus Hasan misses his hometown, Uminya cuisine, Abah with all his advice, the atmosphere of pesantren, to Misbah, his younger brother who must have grown up, became a smart handsome man.


However, he still decided not to go straight home, once out of Adisutjipto Gus Hasan Airport actually took a bus to the Miftahul Ulum boarding school, to meet Kyai Abdul Fatah. Kyai Abdul Fatah was his senior when he was a nyantri in Tebuireng, Jombang, at that time Gus Hasan was still sitting on the bench of the Ibtidaiyah Madrasah, while Kyai Abdul Fatah was serving as a lurah hut.


In addition to having a very pleasant personality, young Kyai Abdul Fatah is also known to be affectionate. Still clearly imprinted in the memory of Gus Hasan, when he first set foot in the Tebuireng boarding school, Gus Hasan cried, as Umi and Abah were about to leave him. However, Kyai Abdul Fatah gently calmed him down, persuading him with sweet tones also paddled him until he felt at home in the pesantren.


Five years Gus Hasan studied at the Tebuireng pesantren, before finally continuing his life at the Lirboyo Kediri pesantren, and then got a scholarship to Cairo. During his five years in the pesantren, Gus Hasan knew kyai Abdul Fatah for only three years. The first year when he served as a lurah hut. Then, after his term of office was completed, he served in pesantren, teaching other santri-santri for two years, after which he graduated and established his own pesantren in his hometown, Jogjakarta, with his father.


Blue blood still flows in Kyai Abdul Fatah. His father, Father Kyai Abdurrahman Hadiningrat or commonly called Father Abdurrahman was a descendant of the Jogja nobility. Father Abdurrahman himself is a religious figure, he is an elder in his hamlet. At that time he founded the pesantren Miftahul Ulum, originally the pesantren Miftahul Ulum was just an assembly where village children who wanted to teach, but after Kyai Abdul Fatah graduated mondok, the village school was just a meeting, Father Abdurrahman and his son developed and changed the learning system in the Miftahul Ulum pesantren until now, santriwan-santriwati reached thousands.


The bus he was riding stopped at a crowded stop, people looked impatient to get inside. Gus Hasan turned his gaze out the window, as a girl dressed in Taekwodo uniform ran after the bus. The bus driver looked impatiently waiting for him. However, when he was almost near the door, suddenly the girl turned back, making the driver grumble.


Gus Hasan watched from the inside, his forehead wrinkled, when he saw the girl crossing the road. There seemed an old man with a bent body, his trembling hand holding an old stick to support his old body, as if he were struggling to cross the road. The girl talked for a while before then gently holding the old man and slowly crossing the street, following the grandfather's weak steps.


Somehow Gus Hasan felt his heart rustle, witnessing the kindness that was plastered before his eyes. Very noble, his mind is amazed. While others are busy with their own business and ignore the difficulties of others, the girl prefers to be left behind by the bus to help others. It's hard to find such glory now.


Suddenly the bus groaned violently, accompanied by a rude swearing from the driver. The girl looked surprised when she saw that the bus had started moving about to leave the stop. But he still had time to say something and smiled at the grandfather, who was replied with a smile of thanks from him before then he ran darting after the bus that had been running. He quickly jumped into the bus.


Shortly after, the bus stopped at a stop. This time, no passengers got off. A pregnant woman with a large stomach enters while holding her young child. This mother seemed confused when there was no empty chair, no one seemed willing to give her a seat.


Gus Hasan was about to get up to let the mother sit down, but the girl in Taekwondo uniform got up first and invited her to sit down.


"Mom, please sit here." Gess. His voice was very melodious, Gus Hasan again felt his heartbeat work like never before. The mother smiled with relief, thanking him for sitting down. Leave the noble Angel standing and again busy with his phone.


Gus Hasan stood up to invite the girl to sit down, and for the first time he could see her face clearly. By Allah, Gus Hasan saw the angel as a human being. But without looking at Gus Hasan, the girl rejected him subtly with a very sweet smile. He said that he would soon reach his destination. Gus Hasan could see, the girl's name on the participant's sign hanging around her neck. E. Riadlil Jannah is written using a black marker, with large capital letters.


Subkhanallaah, has a very noble ahlak, with a beautiful face like an angel, coupled with a name that is very beautiful. Riadlil Jannah, meaning garden of heaven.


Shortly after the bus stopped in front of Maguwoharjo Stadium, the girl walked towards the door. However, before descending he turned his head towards Gus Hasan. Their eyes met and Gus Hasan was stunned.


The girl has blue eyeballs, soft lashes. Gus Hasan believes the eyes are real, not blue. Because it looks quiet and soothing. His whole life Gus Hasan was sure it was impossible to forget the highlight. Highlights that make his heartbeat work like never before.


Most Holy to Allah, who has created such a beautiful creature. Is he really a human, or is he an angel who resembles a human. Gus Hasan touched his thumping chest, his whole life had only been thumped by a girl.
