"Yes, pray here first. Come on in Nak Ilham," continued Mother Realyn invited her guests to enter.

"Sha, accompany Nak Ilham to the mushola. The same father Mother will follow," continued Mother Realyn interrupted her son to deliver Ilham to the mosque in the house.

"Well Mother, come on Gus. Follow me," answered Myesha guiding Ilham to go towards the mosque.

"Gus can take ablution water there. Inside there is also a clean peci that Gus can use, I want to take ablution water there." said Myesha interrupted Ilham where she can take water for ablution.

"Thank you" replied Ilham after Myesha gave him a clue as to where Ilham should take his ablution.

"Yes, you are both Gus" answered Myesha.

Myesha immediately went in the other direction to take her ablution water. Because the prayer time will start soon.

"Wait," prevent the Inspiration that made Myesha's footsteps stop.

"Yes, is there anything I can do to help Gus again?" asked Myesha confused.

"Can you please?" reply Ilham.

"How can I help you?" continue Myesha again.

"Please, stop calling me Gus that's too much" replied Gus Ilham who made Myesha stunned as she looked in wonder at the handsome man now standing in front of her.

"Is my request too heavy?" ask Ilham when Myesha does not answer his words.

"No, it's just. I don't know what to call Gus," answered Myesha, completely confused by what Ilham is doing right now.

"Son Ilham, Shasa, let's hurry. Magrib time is running out" exclaimed Ardi's father who made the two realize.

"We discuss it next time, now we better take the water soon after the time of prayer" answered Myesha who immediately moved from her place to go to another bathroom to take ablution water.

Praying magrib congregation was carried out solemnly and in imami by Gus ILham who was deliberately given the opportunity to become a priest for Ardi's father and family.

The chanting of the holy verse al Qur’an recited by Gus Ilham really sounds so melodious and also earthy in the ears of anyone who hears it.

Although he did not have time to finish his school in Cairo, but Gus Ilham really proved his quality in terms of religion.

Even so, his abilities also in the business world cannot be underestimated. In fact, at the age of just 20 years, Ilham was able to make the company of the father advanced rapidly in his hands.

Now, 8 years have been the inspiration to plunge into the business world and his abilities increasingly can not be seen one eye. All who worked with him claimed to be very satisfied with the work of the young man.

Likewise with Ardi's father who is so fond of the figure of the young man and so competent at work it.

Even tucked away one wish to match her daughter with the young man. But unfortunately, Myesha always refused whenever Ardi's father wanted to introduce her to Gus Ilham.

“Nak Ilham do not go home immediately, dinner first here with us. Later after Isya, Nak ILham returned home. How, please accept my invitation?” ask Ardi's father after finishing his magrib prayer.

"Alright, if Mr. Ardi insists," replied Ilham to make Myesha shocked.

Myesha did not expect that Ilham would immediately accept a dinner invitation from her father. Myesha who does not know must, however, finally prefer to go to follow the Mother to prepare dinner.

"You're in close contact, aren't you Sha?" ask Mother Realyn in between her busy preparing dinner menu.

"What does Mother mean?" asked Myesha confused.

"Not that it's been very visible yes Sha. If Gus Ilham has any interest in you, son."

"Huss Mommy, ngawur deh. Sholeh men like Gus Ilham who might like the same Mother Myesha. Look at Myesha, there is nothing to be proud of about Myesha."

"But how Mother caught there is a difference from her attitude to the same you. If Gus Ilham is interested in you, how?"

"Imstahil or Bun. It will not be possible, it used to be Gus Ilham's candidate was a truly perfect woman. Let alone men, women are amazed by it. What about Myesha? Gus Ilham will be ashamed of my rich partner" explained Myesha again.

"Yes, anyone knows what a hunch Mother really is, son. No one knows the heart, right?"

"Already ah, don't talk about this anymore. Myesha doesn't want to expect much Mother. Let God decide who Myesha will be. Myesha wouldn't want to say if,"

The mother and son were again preoccupied with dinner preparations. And without both of them knowing there is someone who is eavesdropping on the conversation of the two from behind the connecting door between the dining room and the family room.

The man was seen blocking his long breath when he heard the answer after answer given by Myesha to the question given by her mother.

"Yes, there Call Daddy and Nak Ilham here. The food is ready" Mother Realyn told Myehsa.

"Yes Bun" answered Myesha.

Myesha then went to Leave the dining room to go to the family room where Adi and Gus Ilham's father sat together and talked about business there.

"Dad, Gus, let the food be ready" Myesha told Ardi's father and Ilham.

Ardi and Ilham's father immediately got up from his seat and headed to the dining room. Ardi and Ilham's father took a seat on the chair that Mother Realyn had provided.

"Sha please help me get some food for Nak Ilham, yes" Ardi's father told Myesha.

"Yes Dad, excuse me Gus. His plate," answered Myesha directly took the plate in front of Ilham.

Although it looks strange and stiff, Myesha finally obeyed the order of the father to help Gus Ilham take his food.

Myesha took the plate in front of Gus Ilham and filled it with rice and side dishes on the dining table.

"This is Gus' food. Good luck," said Myesha after filling dishes owned by Ilham with a menu that has been provided by Mother Realyn.

"Well, thank you Sha," replied Ilham taking the plate that had been given proffered by Myesha.

The scene was witnessed by the parents of Myesha. Both Father Ardi and Mother Realyn both smiled at the interaction between Myesha and Ilham.
