In her solitude, Mexca lamented her fate that had come first by others. He felt pain but did not bleed. When contemplating involuntarily mexca remembered the words of her friend if Adinda only received the love of people who are confident with her.

After a very difficult struggle in his heart and mind, Mexca thought if he could not embrace his person. At least he could embrace the same belief as her, then he could also feel what Adinda would feel as she went through her worship, she said, and he can also do the same activities he did in his belief. Finally Mexca took his decision and hoped that the decision was not wrong.

Within a month the company affairs that can be completed the same mexca then immediately completed and the rest is handed over to his grandfather because he will return to Indonesia.

On the way home, Mexico expressed its heart and desire to embrace the same beliefs as Faris, and he asked for a teacher who could guide and direct himself to a better path. Faris also said about kiyai in his home area and has a very large and famous boarding school.

When Mexca arrived at home that night, the Mexca immediately gathered her family together. Mama, Papa and his sister, to express their intentions to their family.

"Ma, Pa. mexca wants to talk to you" said the mexca as everyone sat in the living room.

"Tell me what, why do you seem so serious when you're just getting home" replied papa mexca.

"Mexca apologized to you....Mexca wants to embrace a belief that will be different from all of you. Mexca wanted to embrace the same beliefs that Faris espoused" as she bowed after speaking, fearing that her parents would disagree.

The atmosphere of the middle room was so quiet and silent, none of them spoke after hearing the desire of the mexca to embrace a different belief with them. From the sound of each person's breath could be heard. And unknowingly from jau it turns out that there is someone who heard also the sentence uttered by mexca.

"If indeed it is your desire to eat I don't mind because everything is in your hands mex" said George, the grandfather of mexca who had been in Indonesia before Mexca came, and his voice has broken the silence.

"True, whatever your decision and choice mama is up to you. Just one pinta mama, if it is your decision, then you must be able to take responsibility for everything, everything you have chosen" replied the mother of Mexico added.

"Thank you ma, cake" replied the mexca with a relieved smile.

"Yes, papa also gave everything to you, and rightly said mama you should be able to take responsibility for all your choices, not to be missteps" continued papa mexca.

"Thank you Pa, thank you everyone. Thank you" Mexca replied with great relief.

After the conversation, Mexico began to pack goods and clothes that will be under the boarding school because he will immediately go to the boarding school tomorrow morning with Faris.

"Son mexca can I come in?" Ask Merisca on mexca.

"What's the matter hem?" mexca answered while sitting down with her sister and rubbed her head.

"Sister mex is heartbroken huh? Meisca tau, and very know kak mex will not take extreme decisions if there is nothing" said Merisca who is very familiar with the nature of his brother.

"You're so smart huh" mexca smiled at her sister.

"Tell me who broke my leg, to make my sister like this" said Merisca upset.

Hearing the words of his two children who chatted in Mexca's room ny. Ambar Mexca's mother came in and asked her son. After getting questions from his sister and his mother, Mexca finally told him that he was falling for someone, but he had gone first because the girl favored by the Mexca was married and the Mexca did not want to destroy or damage their household. Mexca's choice to embrace Islam was because she wanted to be able to feel what the girl felt as she carried out and performed her worship.

"Sister, the girl who became this sister's wallpaper that sister loved?" merisca said when looking at wallpaper hp Mexca tight and open.

"She's a beautiful girl dear" replied mama Mexca.

"Yes, she's beautiful and she looks like a modern girl.Look at ma, her dress style, if she wrapped her body in this way but she wears a unique style. She's so graceful, isn't she? But I can't believe she's the girl who made my legs look like this." complained Merisca.

"She's a pretty girl isn't" the proud mexca replied.

"I salute this girl, because she can make a Mexca the conqueror of this woman bend her knees" Merisca praised Adinda who he already knew.

"She's a different girl to the other Merisca dear" Mexca replied with a wide smile.

"Why are you staring at big brother like that, you have something to say?" ask your sister who looks at me with a hard look for me to guess.

"No, I hope you're okay, and I'm sorry brother. Maybe I'm a bad sister because I wish you could forget that girl." Merisca replied to me, which doesn't seem to be what she wanted to tell you.

That morning Faris was in front of the Mexca family home and ready to take Mexca to the boarding school. All the Mexca families took part in delivering and watching the Mexca convert to Islam. After taking 6 hours the journey finally Mexca and her family arrived at the boarding school 'Darul Ulum Assalam'. And the Mexca family group was warmly welcomed by all the santri who were there, because they had been told before that there would be new students who came and studied with them.

That afternoon kiyai Abdul manaf, mexca, a mexcan family and some santri gathered at the mosque to witness a mexca that would embrace Islam. Mexca began chanting shahadah, sholawat prophet and reciting some holy verses of the Qur'an while guided by ki yai Abdul Manaf as evidence he had believed Islamic beliefs as the foundation of his life.

"Well son, from now on you have become a Muslim" Ki yai Abdul Manaf told mexca.

"Amin - amin Ya Rabbal'alamin" exclaimed the santri who attended to watch mexca embrace Islam.

"Thank you mr. yai" replied mexca awkwardly.

"Yes, thank God. Hopefully you can and always do all deeds and words in accordance with the teachings of Islam" replied Pak yai again.

"Yes, and please guide him, Mr. Yai" replied the mexca.

"Hem. Oh yeah, I don't want to change your name, son. Because in a name there is a do'a of the parents. But because between your names already contain a good name, then you will call you by that name alone" said Pak yai who made everyone see.

"Maybe this is fate or the way, Abigail. You will use the name Abi which means in Islam is Father, so from now on you will call you Abi son, how, do you agree?" Ask yai to mexca.

"I'm up to yai" said Mexico, who felt he knew nothing of the name of Islam.

"Alright, maybe you were directed here, that's why on the sidelines of your name there is a Muslim name" replied Mr. Yai with a smile.

Mexca will stay in the pesantren for a year to study and deepen Islam, and also to learn to teach so that he can pray with the correct recitation of the Qur'an.

All the Mexca families have returned and only Mexca lives. Every day Mexca learned to teach and pray diligently. Sometimes on the sidelines of his break he did his work that was left behind, because the father gave the company to him again.

But because Mexca could not immediately hold and take care of everything, then Mexca did everything through Faris. Sometimes Faris was forced to come to the pesantren to deposit files requiring direct Mexca signatures. And in a month Faris can come up to 3 times even 4 times.

It does not feel Mexca has devoted himself in the boarding school that has been about 10 months. And he has also started to be good at everything, including the recitation of the holy verse of his Qur'an has also started fasye'. Because he is a man who is bright and quick to learn. The understanding of Mexca in Islamic teachings began to be good and good, he also began to diligently perform night prayers with khusyu' and routine in every night.
