the mosque and get punishment as a Jasus or spy. “Hanya Said yang mencoba terlihat gagah dan tabah menerima keadaan
ini. Sayang, kumisnya kali ini tampak layu, kalah wibawa dengan kumis para kakak keamanan. Kepala kami menunduk dalam, posisi duduk
semakin berdempet-dempetan. Fuadi, A. 2009: 74

menyelonong masuk selokan. Dengan mukanya tidak lepas dari poster Terminator, dia merebahkan sepedanya di pinggir jalan. Wajah Arnold

Said is a sleeper. Although Said is a head of class who is strong and authoritative, but he likes sleepy in class also. One afternoon when they are gathering
at the mosque to read the Quran, Said seems so sleepy that starts with a light swing head forwards and withered neck and chin touching chest. At that time, Alif tries to
wake him up, but then just a while, Said wakes up then falls to his left side and immediately wake up. No wonder the few friends who see the incident immediately
laugh. “Bosan dengan upaya yang gagal, aku menyerah dan membiarkan Said

kaget sekali menemukan dirinya dalam posisi setengah tidur.” Fuadi, A. 2009: 70

wilayah pencariannya berhektar-hektar dan waktu bermainnya 24 jam. Asyik, kan? Kapan lagi kita bisa main petak umpet sehebat ini,” katanya
dengan serius.” Fuadi, A. 2009: 79

vaguely, but Said is a person who likes to watch movies, Due to this, Said aspires to be a censorer in Pondok Madani.

kami berdesakkan membaca koran sore hari.” Fuadi, A. 2009: 171.
