Ustadz Idol
First Impression

Thursday afternoon during the break, Sari was called by Bu Berta to face the teacher's room, because there was something she wanted to tell him.

Sari prefers to pray Dzuhur in school prayer first, so that when facing Bu Berta his heart is calm because it has carried out its obligations.

The Mushola

Sari was tying her shoelaces, and sat in rows with her three friends after praying together, in the foyer of the mosque there were also many teachers and students who also finished praying. Is resting and ngadem because in the foyer of mushola is the most comfortable place to ngadem in the afternoon so hot as today.

A male disciple that Sari had never seen before approached Sari and greeted her.

" Hey you Sari?".

Sari raised her head to look at the tall man standing in front of her.

" Yes right", Sari again focused on tying her shoelaces. While the three friends were still staring at the man who greeted Sari.

Rizal, son of 11 IPA 1, the most wanted students of the school, the chairman of OSIS with a myriad of achievements, both from academic and non-academic. The tall body, handsome face and distinguished family background, approached perfect.

Then what did the school idol say hello to Sari all of a sudden?

" You were told to go to the teacher's room, right?, we go there together".

Sari scrunched her forehead looking back at the boy after finishing tying his shoelaces. But didn't respond to his sentence.

He's nanya again, ngajak, or again tell. The sentence is somehow belonging to which.

But as Sari remained silent and looked at Rizal, a pair of eyes that had just come out of the mushola stared at the two of them sharply. Musas.

Eli, who was sitting next to Sari deliberately elbowed Sari's arm. " Rizal again invite you to talk, why you just shut up Sari".

Sari stood up and looked at her other friends. " I went to the teacher's room first, would you like to go back to class or go to the library first? ".

" Together with Sar, we want to go to class", replied Linda who did not want to miss an important moment walking with Rizal. A fortune to be a friend of Sari, since the first can never go together with the chairman of Osis, and now get the opportunity. Walking with popular people in school, will definitely make us popular as well, that's what the three friends of Sari think.

" So your name is Rizal?, called to the teacher's room as well?", the first question that came out of Sari's mouth as they walked along.

" You haven't been able to breefing from your homeroom teacher?", Rizal asked. Sari immediately shook her head.

" Pantesans".

" Pantsan, why?".

Sari waved at her three friends as she had already reached the front of the teacher room, and the others still had to continue on their way to their classroom.

" You will know for yourself".

Rizal knocked on the teacher's room, then the two of them entered the teacher's room in tandem, and all of the eyes in the teacher's room stared at the two of them.

Sari searches for the whereabouts of Bu Berta, her homeroom teacher. And could instantly find the middle-aged woman by once combing through space. Sari immediately approached Bu Berta's table without caring about Rizal who came with her.

Sari bowed her head first, when her position was already beside Bu Berta's table.

" Good day Mom, why did you call me?".

" Loh do not know yet, I think you entered here with Rizal because you already know what your purpose is called here".

Bu Berta's words made him stare at Rizal for a few seconds, "haven't had time to talk Mom", he concluded.

" But have you met?, later you two will become partners, so you must know each other first".

Sari again frowned increasingly clueless.

" Just know your name" replied Sari honestly.

" Well then, let me explain ".

Bu Berta, Sari's homeroom teacher who is also an English teacher, deliberately called Sari and Rizal to face him because next week there is a schedule for the district level English debate competition. Because in the month of Ramadan, the theme of debate is determined, about the science of Islam, which is about fasting Ramadan.

Bu Berta who saw the list of achievements of Sari in the previous school who always became the champion of the English debate, took the initiative to propose Sari and Rizal to take part in the debate.

" So later you'll be with Rizal will be a debate partner next week, and from noon later, after school, you two go straight to the English lab, start training, I'm waiting".

" Good Mom, we'll excuse you" Rizal said he resigned, feeling uncomfortable because his partner this time was a new transfer. What he had in mind, was that Sari could take part in the debate race, because from the first impression of seeing Sari in the mosque foyer, Rizal had an assessment if Sari looked like a spoiled girl, and his communication with others was less intense. You could say irit talk, can such a child participate in the debate?.

As Bu Berta requests, Sari and Rizal walk hand in hand to the English lab after the school bell rang. The classes are both side by side. And Rizal accidentally waits for Sari in the front hallway of her class. IPA Class 1 will be passed by IPA 2 children when heading to the English lab.

" Have you been to the debate before?", Rizal started to open the conversation, because along the way Sari kept quiet without asking anything, unlike most students, who would ask a lot if walking with her.

" ever".

Rizal looked at Sari like he did not accept, "What the hell, just answered like that my question".

" What do I have to answer?, your question is not 'already in the debate what?', yes I answered once. Some of you and I are just debate partners, so selow bro.. don't spaneng, relax, this school will definitely take home medals", Sari is so confident will win. What else is this is just the district level. Sari used to have participated in the national level debate, although only champion two in the final round, it was also very good, because the difference in value was only 4 points.

" I've only met a transfer boy who is very confident like you" Rizal shook his head, hoping that Sari's arrogance could be proved and not just words.

" Importantly you can be invited to work together", replied Sari while knocking on the door with a wooden board that read 'Bhs Lab.England' on the door.

" Into!", exclaimed Bu Berta's voice from inside the lab.

" You came together, it seemed familiar to you immediately", Mrs Berta's smile expanded, but not with Mr. Moses sitting in the front seat of Bu Berta's table. He was still staring at Sari and Rizal with an indescribable look.

" Let's sit down.., this is Mr. Musa who will give material about Ramadan fasting, after listening to his explanation, you two can package yourself as a debate material later", Bu Berta invited Pak Musa to explain about the fasting of Ramadan.

While Rizal and Sari pay close attention to the explanation of Pak Musa, especially Sari, continues to look towards Pak Musa ,and do not want to be missed sadetik of the material that is being explained by the teacher.

For one hour Moses explained what is fasting ramadan, fasting law ramadan, things that break the fast, things that will damage fasting worship, and others, and others, so detailed that Sari and Rizal nodded their heads feeling that the explanation of Mr. Moses was very well understood.

" Whether there is something you want to ask, or something that is not clear, you may ask if there is something that is still unclear" Moses concluded with a question and answer session.

Sari raised her hand. Nodded by Moses.

" Pak what can be explained, every worship that is obligated or sunna in Islam, such as prayer, fasting or zakat, there must be good for each of them, for example, as I have read, if the prayer movement turns out to make all our organs become healthier. If fasting itself what is the benefit sir, can be explained?", Sari does want to find the positive point of fasting as much as possible as capital debate later.

" Of course, there are many benefits that we get by fasting, including detoxifying the body, helping cell regeneration, strengthening the immune system, controlling blood sugar, reducing inflammation. Can improve heart health, improve brain function and the most obvious benefit is helping to lose weight, usually this reason that makes women will be happy to observe fasting, in addition to dieting". Bu Berta smiled at Moses.

" If that's the case, about mothers who are pregnant and breastfeeding, you say you can not fast, and have to replace in the next day, is that the only way to pay for it?".

" If he is sick, the answer is yes, but if they are healthy and worried about disturbing their health or their baby, then they must change the fast and also pay fidyah".

And the question and answer session was even more interesting, because Sari who is still very lay with religious knowledge, so very enthusiastic to ask this and that.

But precisely the two guidance teachers so amazed by the enthusiasm that Sari showed.

Until 4 p.m., they finally ended the afternoon meeting today.

" If there is still a lot to ask, tomorrow we still have another meeting, for a week, until H-1 before the debate is done, so note first if there are still questions that have not been conveyed. I had to go home because I had to cook for the iftar preparation".

Sari and Rizal finally recorded what they had not been asked today in the note.

As Sari walked out of the English lab. Moses was about to offer a ride home together, because their house was unidirectional. But first Rizal who walked beside him.

" It turns out you're a fun friend too, first impression, you don't seem to talk much, but when in the lab it just looks, if you're so interested in the lesson". Rizal praised Sari. " Oh yeah, where do you live?".

" Why?".

" Go home together if it's unidirectional" replied Rizal.

" rising?".

" Motorcycle, the rules here students can not bring a car".

Sari nodded in understanding. " Where are you going?", Sari asked back, not asking for the address, but the direction of home, because Sari had not memorized the names of the regions here.

" There", Rizal points in the opposite direction to Atmo's grandfather's house.

" That means opposite direction, thanks to the offer of a ride, bye...", Sari walked quickly out of the gate, about to wait for the angkot to pass. While Rizal headed for the parking lot to take his motorbike.

" Where is the house?, not papa also if it has to be in the opposite direction, right this hour there is no angkot passing, most ride ojek if you want", Rizal will approach Sari, Rizal will approach, intend to continue to bring it home, even though the direction is different. But when out of the parking lot, Rizal actually found a strange sight, how not strange. He sees Sari riding on a motorbike, along with Mr. Moses, the religious teacher.
