Ustadz Idol

Special Girl

Moses approaches a plastic bag hanging from a motorbike, two cats tugging at a plastic bag run away as Moses approaches.

" Thank God be safe. Fortunately it is stored in foam, so it is still safe, even though the pouch was pulled by two cats earlier. Now the cats are no longer visible either run where.

Moses entered his house, a two-story house with a minimalist style, Moses deliberately saved while still in college while working in Cairo, saving little by little, Moses said, until now you can buy your own house in one of the housing complexes that are not too far from the school where you teach.

In fact, both of Moses' parents also had homes in the Solo area, but that was too far from where he taught today. Moses was still a close relative of Mr. Irsyad, Mother Moses is the sister of his wife Mr. Irsyad's neighbor as well as the headmaster at the High School where Sari school.

In the morning after the saur, while waiting for dawn, Sari again repeated the memorization of the hijaiyah letters that had been completed in his memorandum overnight, 30 letters in a day, 30 letters in a day, he also tidied the book into his bag for today's lesson schedule.

The move to a new school is not as extreme as he imagined, because it is precisely all new friends are very welcome with the arrival of Sari. Perhaps you could say now Sari is more famous and known by all school residents. Both from students, teachers, TU staff, janitors to sellers in the cafeteria, all have known Sari in a day.

The new transfer child in the middle of the semester, of course, is the center of attention, plus supporting factors because Sari looks very prominent among other students, pure white skin, shoulder-length straight black hair, and so on, polite dress style and achievements that have been achieved, making in a day he became the talk of all school residents.

What's more today, Wednesday, the batik uniform from Sari's new high school is not finished in the sewing because just yesterday Sari got the cloth. Forced to use the uniform from the old school. Uniform with knee-length skirt, rimple checkered motif with white shirt tops and suits with international school logo, the, making anyone who stares directly or even looks from a distance will know if he is Sari, the new transfer student.

Every morning before the lesson begins, usually the homeroom teacher will enter the class and provide information or coaching to the students. Likewise today, Bu Berta smiled at the school uniform Sari from the previous school who wore a suit.

" Sari, if you later feel uncomfortable with the uniform you wear, can open the suit, he said, because in this class is not like the class where you studied before using AC so that you stay comfortable in a suit uniform like that for the whole day".

Sari nodded in understanding, "well Mom, later if I feel hot I will escape, but now I still feel comfortable", Sari explained that she was still comfortable, of course because the fabric is made as a suit that is worn by Sari even though it looks thick, but adem is used. Not the fabric abal-abal because when it used to redeem uniforms from school alone spent a budget of tens of millions per student.

Teaching and learning activities are going well. During the first break at 10, Eli invites Sari to the library along with Linda and Nina. As they were walking towards the library, all pairs of eyes stared fixedly at Sari.

" The pain of being a new child.., like trying to snack is difficult, everyone continues to worry, and we who are beside him also want to snack on shame, too, it feels like those rich people see us walking naked, not blinking ", Linda nyerocos along the hallway as we pass another class to the library.

While Sari who became the center of attention chose not to care, whatever...

Until the moment passing through the teacher room Sari did not know if the teachers in the office were also paying attention to her. And talk about it again.

" Bu Berta got the diamond in his class, from afar looks the most sparkling of the others", as well as Mr. Haikal the guardian of class 11 IPA 1.

" The physique was only a plus for Mr. Haikal, most importantly it was his inner beauty, his thinking intelligence and his manners, and to this day I think Sari has both. She's a special girl".

" If in the opinion of the mother, what was the reason that made Sari move to a state school like this?, when her family did not experience bankruptcy, the value of the lesson was also good", yesterday, the teachers saw Sari's report from the old school. And his grades are almost perfect in all lessons.

" I don't know, I don't understand his personal reasons, which I know now he lives with his grandfather, who is the principal's neighbor. His parents still live in Malang. I heard from Mr. Principal, his grandmother just died about a month ago, maybe he's a good grandson, wants to accompany his old and alone grandfather", he said", Bu Berta was just guessing the reason for Sari's move. Although that's not the real reason, but if thought by others, Bu Berta's explanation is quite reasonable.

Moses only smiled at the chatter of the other teachers who talked about Sari, while fasting, but still berghibah talking about others. Moses chose to get out of the office and into the library, he thought rather than listen to a wise man, it was better to use the time to read.

The library

" You wait here, yes, I want to find a book over there" , Sari walked back to the hallway that was passed by, the hallway with the inscription 'Islamic Religious Education (PAI) '.

But Sari was interested in a book title

'The Story of the Qur'an' , Sari searches for the existence of the book from the shelf, it turns out to be on the top shelf. Sari looked right and left, there was no chair to climb to pick up the book. Sari pinjit, but not yet arrived, forced to jump Sari.

" Ahem.".", a throbbing voice from behind Sari, then Sari looked and widened her eyes when she met Ustadz Musa, standing behind her.

" Want help?", the voice came back. Sari just pointed at the book she wanted to take.

" Can you move it from your place?".

Sari also shifted a little.

Moses slightly reached for the book Sari wanted, "This one?".

" Yes".

" The Story of the Qur'an, the book that Sari wanted to read, so she was really interested to know about the Qur'an ", Moses thought while reading the title of the book that Sari wanted".

" Thank you", Sari immediately passed away leaving Moses still standing in his place.

Soon after, Moses saw Sari and her friend coming out of the library with the book he had taken.

***

" Has all the letters memorized?".

" It's Tadz ".

" Then we immediately learn to read iqro, later all learn about the letter makhorijul".

Sari opened the iqro given by Moses yesterday, from the first page. Sari smoothly read iqro until there began to be a verse with a connecting letter.

" Why is this different?" asked Sari.

" Not different, but the 30 hijaiyah letters that you have memorized, if written in conjunction into a word in Arabic it will change the way of writing a little. Like in Indonesia like Latin letters that are connected between one letter to another, can be understood?".

Sari nodded her head in understanding with the intention of Moses.

Today's activity is only up to half 6, Moses immediately went home because it was not good if Grandpa Atmo asked him to break his fast together again.

Fortunately, grandfather was out of the house and had not yet returned, so Moses could go home without having to find a reason to say goodbye.
