The Journey of Love Habibah..
Farewell 3
"God willing, I will do it" Habibah replied briefly. After that he passed leaving Alvian who was only dumbstruck staring at the departure of the girl with an uncertain feeling.
On the other hand there are eyes that pay attention to them from afar, well Purnomo only pay attention to friends and the girl he loves talking in the distance. There was a sense of jealousy seeing the two, but seeing the girl's attitude towards Alvian there was a slight sense of calm as the girl's attitude still remained the same to Alvian, still cold. He felt there was still hope for him to get the girl's heart.

The days we waited for finally arrived. The graduation announcement has been posted on the notice board. All the students of Madrasah Tsanawiyah were huddled looking for their names with palpitations. Habibah and his two friends Riya and Faizah are no exception. They jostle with others to find out if they pass or not. Suddenly Riya shouted and jumped in excitement while hugging her best friend Faizah.
" Degree, we pass..!!!" he hugged Faizah.
" Thank God...!!"welcome Faizah no less happy. Habibah had seen the results, he graduated with a fairly satisfactory score because it turns out he got the top three in his class and the top five in his school.
" Thank God..!!"said the girl with a little touch. He never thought that the value he achieved exceeded his estimate.
After learning the results of graduation, all students are allowed to go home. And the farewell event was held to the next day. Some went straight home and some went to celebrate their graduation by eating at roadside restaurants. And Habibah chose to go straight home with an angkot ride.
Arriving at home he also told his graduation results to his parents. But the reaction of her parents made the girl's heart ache and grieve. Because his parents responded to his success that was beyond estimates by getting a satisfactory value for him was actually responded only by the answer "Alhamdulillah if graduated."
The girl went into her room and laid her tiny body on the bed, imagining what her friends' parents would say if they found her child's value exceeded the target. Want it to feel like he went and asked his friends about their parents' responses and reactions upon hearing that they graduated with satisfactory results?
Not feeling her tears flowing, she could only cry in silence. Slowly he grabbed the pen and diary book stored inside his bag. He could only spill all of his heart there. Only the diary book that became his loyal friend. Wherever he goes his books and his faithful questioner accompany him. Just by writing down all the contents of his heart it had made his chest feel relieved.

" Yes, quite satisfying. How about yourself?" ask Purnomo to Alvian.
" Slightly disappointing anyway, not in line with expectations." said Alvian with a lethargic face.
" Why lethargy so anyway, you're not usually like this.?" purnomo asked because he saw the condition of his friend who was not as usual.
" Don't know Pur, I don't know why. Ever since I met and knew that girl I couldn't focus. I always thought about him. Moreover, my letter that I entrusted with you was until now he has not replied as well. I guess he'll return my letter, won't he? I wanted to go before I left he had replied to my letter Pur, but I was so scared" said Alvian, leaning back against the seat and closing his eyes.
Purnomo just silence can not answer anything in the question by his best friend. Because he could not force the girl to reply to Alvian's letter. Finally they came home with a lethargic face and a troubled heart.

The day of the farewell event went smoothly and quite lively at Habibah school. Before the core event, there were offerings from students in the form of dance and singing, poetry and qiro'ah . There is also a tambourine group that is all displayed by students from the Tsanawiyah madrasah. All the parents of the guardians and the invited guests present seemed to be happy. But someone is sad alone. Yes, it is Habibah's heart because no one is present on the day that is always in the future. His parents were busy and his brothers were all busy. But what can be done, it's like it's his family. Habibah slowly passed from where the event took place, but only a few steps left the room he heard his name called to go up on stage. His friends who saw his presence immediately pulled the girl's hand into the room and went up on stage. After re-entry, there were already some students on stage. Nervously she finally got on stage, because this time she went on stage that was why she was so nervous.
" This is some of the students who managed to get scholarships from the government and from the Company who have been donors in our school.Let's give a standing ovation to these outstanding students" MC said excitedly. Before long there were several representatives from the Company who became donors and principals and school supervisors took to the stage to submit charters and submit scholarships symbolically. And there was an awkward incident that made the roast, Habibah did not receive a helping hand from representatives of the company or from the school and school supervisors to shake hands. He said "sorry we are not muhrim" because everything is men. And fortunately all understand, because seeing from the appearance alone is different from the others, the hijab he uses is a large hijab. For that, everything understands it, even though there is an awkward feeling it must be unavoidable.
