And for the curriculum there are Marawis, Pencak Silat, and najai Quri.

The son ponpes had four floors. The first floor of Mang Yusuf's room, as a lurah kobong and a difficult-to-arrange santri-santri room, more precisely the santri who is under guard. in the hope, that the naughty santri is more disciplined, more precisely santri, and easily monitored by the mang Yusuf they disdain.

"the place is still allowed to accommodate one person?" ask Mang Yusuf to Andi.

"oh inysallah, God willing can. later I will try to set it with others. " Mang Andi said with a cheerful smile, welcoming the arrival of his new friend.

"maybe we're not used to eating with us yet." Lutfi.

"Yes mang.ingga kok mang? I'm still full, because before I came here I've eaten at home." Said Alwan, while washing hands near the guardrail. Which is located to the east.

Suddenly !

Alwan was awakened by a hand waving to his air, from the window-hole.

the hole was a broken glass container, the size of the hole only went in for one hand.

Alwan frowned, muttering inwardly.

"whose hand is it ?" his hands are as white as a woman's.

Alwan continued to look at the hand that was 30 meters away from him. When viewed from the structure of the building, the hand was on the second floor, more lace than where Alwan stood. Alwan stood right up to the guardrail.not long after, Lutfi approached him..

"how is mang, Beautiful isn't it ? " ask Lutfi.

"Beautiful who? " said alwan lirih, in confusion.

Lutfi then patted Alwan's shoulder "Plak." clapping sound.

"Mangs? " reproof Lutfi.

"Emmh. oh yes beautiful, it's beautiful name" said Alwan with gerogi. Alwan was surprised by Lutfi's data. Lutfi scratched his back head, feeling astonished at Alwan's reaction. "Who is Mang?" ask Lutfi.

"yaa.. "the voice of the alwan was stunned for a moment. "that's his name Indahkan ! the one who was waving his hands in the window hole." said Alwan.

"ha ha ha ha ha.." Lutfi's laughter sounded extremely loud.

"O yes, I just understood mang.!"

so tight, laughter lutfi to seize the attention of the other santri, who still enjoy the food.all turned to the direction of lutfi and Alwan.

"Why! what's up, fi? " ask Mang Andi and the other santri.

Alwan said "no mang, there is nothing" said Alwan.

Lutfi smiled and shook her head, left and right. "Mangs! actually, I asked how the view, beautiful, right.?

instead of telling you, if the person who waved at the glass hole was a beautiful name." said Lutfi, holding back a laugh.

Alwan rubbed his head from front to back, "Oh I think that! " Say Alwan, put on a smile with some embarrassment.
