While Azizah this morning has packed all her goods. Today, he returned to Pesantren. Last night he expressed his wish to Abi and Uminya. If before her wedding day, she still wants to be in pesantren, while continuing to ripen her rote.

"Nduk, before leaving back to Pesantren breakfast first yes. Umi is already masakin to your tribe. Lagian Abi is also still manasin car engine. "the voice of Umi sounds soft..

"iya Umi, Azizah again tidied up the room mi. " while folding the blanket.

After a few minutes Azizah is ready . I had breakfast with Abi and Umi. Eating Uminya cuisine for Azizah is very delicious. And also the one he always misses when in Pesantren.

Then he went back to the room and took his little bag and closed the door again. Abi was waiting in the car and Uminya was standing on the porch.

Then he embraced and hugged and kissed Uminya.

"Mi, Azizah went back to Pesantren first yes mi. "

"iya nduk, take good care of yourself dear. Umi always misses you, son.. " Umi wiped her tears. Not only now since the first Azizah to Pesantren, it is certain Umi will cry, when Azizah must return to Pesantren. Not with Azizah. He used to have to cry if he had to go back to the pesantren. But over time, he will miss his activities in Pesantren. If you stay home too long.

"Assalamualaikum.. "

"Waalaikum salam nduk. be careful nduk.. "

He got into the car, and Abi started driving and left his yard...

"Al... Al.. Open the door, honey.. "

His mother's voice that sounded a little loud made him open his eyes.

"Yes ma." grabbed her phone and saw what time it was. Her mother woke her up.

He turned on his phone at 9. Then he sat down and adjusted his balance. Then he went and opened the door for his mother.

"You're staying up Al. Not wake up. It's 9 o'clock. Is there no college today..?? " ask mom .

"Al today did not go to college ma." replied Al lazily.

" It's why you're like it's gloomy not that spirit. "

"Ma. Al wants to take a shower. " Even trying to avoid and not answer my mother's questions.

Quickly he picked up a towel and went straight into the bathroom.

Mama also felt that there was something unusual about her favorite son. But let it be talked about again. Then Mama got out of Al's room and closed the door.

Finished the shower and changed clothes Al came out of his room. And took the keys to the bike. Then turn on the engine. From inside Mama heard the sound of Al motor on, mama rushed to get out.

"Al wants to go to the house of meen ma. "he answered while riding the motor.

" Breakfast first Al. " said Mama Ratih. However, that was not revealed by Al. He drove his bike at a fast speed. Which made Mama Ratih worried.

Today Al came to his friend Geng Motor's. He hopes to forget all about the girl Bidawari.

As soon as he went down and greeted his friend.

"Where are you, bro. Never nongol" another greeting as he approached.

"There was. Just focus on college.. "

"Well... Since when do children focus on college..?? " Canda is one of his friends.

When I see who is coming. The beautiful and se*si women approached Al. And swung on Al's shoulders spoiled.

"Hay Al's.. You're getting hotter Al. "he whispers spoiled flirting..

Al only responded with a thin smile and a flat face.

Al was here to play with a lot of women. Maybe this way he can forget the beautiful face of Azizah. But honey, none of the women here are capable of making her heart beat so fast. Like when he looked at Azizah's shady face.

His mind invites back to Girl Bidadarnya . Without him, a glimpse of Ayu Azizah's face was present in his mind. His heart returned. He was upset at himself. Why he really can't forget the girl, who has obviously been proposed by others.

He rubbed his face violently. Then ride the bike back up and just leave.

His friends were astonished and unusual .. What happened to Al...??

He drove his bike and without him he asked him to stop in front of the Pesantren. Again he stopped here. However, Aahh his little heart felt powerless about the situation. While his mind, making him unable to stand still to forget his girl just like that.

Instantly his eyes widened when he saw his girl escort a father to go from the boarding area . He saw his girl waving and smiling at the old man earlier. Then the girl went back inside after the car came out of the boarding yard.

There was a hint of splendor in his heart, when he saw the beautiful smile of the girl he realized.

"Ckk. he belongs to the people of Al. realized Al. "he talks to himself. However, it cannot be denied that his heart is really happy when he can see the face of the Girl Bidawari.
