"Seru knows. It's really an experience that I can't possibly forget for a lifetime." answered Myesha with a happy twinkle emanated in her eyes.
And it made his friends shake their heads, astonished by the new santriwati's behavior.
After getting their dinner menu, the five of them went to another room and took a seat in the corner of the room to eat together.
Light chatter and joking jest fill their current dinner. Up to 15 minutes later they had finished their dinner and were ready to return to their room to rest.
"Wait,"
The cry of someone stopped the footsteps of a man who was just about to enter the main house after doing his duty, teaching at the mosque.
The Muslim-clothed man with a peci on his head immediately turned and turned to the source of the voice.
The man seemed to let out a long sigh when he came back face to face with a girl who had been shadowing him all along.
"What's wrong? Is there anything I can help you with?" ask her in a cold and flat tone with a look in the other direction. Not in the direction of the girl.
"I'm here, sir. Is still not enough to prove if I seriously want to make my partner Father," he asked to the point.
"Listen Myesha, I have no interest in dating anyone. And one thing you should know, I'm not even asking you to do this. Why now you're holding yourself accountable for what you've done."
"It's not like that, it's just. You can't give me a chance. I will try to establish myself so that you are proud to have chosen me,"
"Just prove it, because a new person can be trusted after proving his speech. Excuse me, Assalamu'alaikum."
"Okay, I'll prove it. Waalaikumsalam warahmatulli wabarakatuh."
Myesha was finally only able to resignedly look at the steady back of Ilham who increasingly away from her and disappeared behind the door of Kyai Yusril main house.
After Ilham was no longer seen, Myesha finally went to the princess dormitory. The night is getting late and it is time to rest so that the next day can wake up at 2.30 am for congregational night prayers.

One week later.
.
“Assalamualaikum,”
The call of greeting from the outside diverted the attention of two middle-aged people who were currently waiting for the return of their son and daughter-in-law.
Two people began to enter the room. Abi Ilyas, Umma Mayra and Ning Yumna who were in the company of the Abi, they had just arrived from their long journey.
“Waalaikumsalam, thank God, you finally arrived,” replied Ummi Aida who first rose and approached the child, daughter-in-law and grandchild.
“Iya Ummi, thank God. It was stuck so a little late,” replied Mayra while greeting with reverence his in-law hands, then followed by the little Yumna and also her father, Ilyas.
“Oh yes Yan'ti, Brother has not come home from the office huh? how does it not look?” asked NIng Yumna to the grandmother when she did not see the figure of Abang who had been missing for one week.
The little girl who is currently 8 years old is famous for being very close to her brother. Even Yumna was more spoiled to her brother than both of her men.
The girl often seeks inspiration if they do not meet for a day. As of now, where the two have been separated for more than a week because Yumna came with her parents to Java to visit her uncle's family who did live there.
“Yes, but you said he wouldn't be long. He was willing to take a vacation because he was already kangen the same Adek, but suddenly got a call from an office person who requires Brother to come. Just wait, maybe soon also go home,” replied Ummi Aida who knew how her granddaughter was.
He'll sulk all day if his brother doesn't obey what he wants. Or go without saying goodbye to him first.
“Now, more Adek just rest first. if Brother has gone home, later Yan'ti tell Abang to meet Adek yes. Adek also certainly cape will run out of the long journey,” persuaded the grandmother so that her granddaughter would rest while waiting for her brother to come home from the office.
“Alright then, let's Umma let's go first, Adek tired of taking a break but want to be accompanied by Umma.”
“Iya dear, yes already. We go in, son, we rest first while waiting for Brother to come home. Abah, Umm Mayra permission to go in first yes, want to accompany Yumna rest.” replied Umma Mayra to her little daughter, then say goodbye to her two in-laws.
"Yes son, come in pity Yumna looks tired" replied Umm Aida.
Umma Mayra and Yumna immediately headed towards her daughter's room. Leaving the parents who were still talking in the living room.
"How's Hilman doing? Abah regrets not being able to come with you to visit him," asked Kyai Yusril asked the condition of her second son who is currently rumored to be sick and must be treated in hospital.
"It's better Abah, Ummi. So Abah same Ummi not to worry, Hilman also has returned from the hospital and is now only recovering," replied Ilyas explained the condition of the sister.
"Thank God then. The older Abah and Ummi the harder it is to travel. However, even so, Abah and Ummi will always pray for all of you to always be in his protection." Kyai Yusril said.
"Have Bah, do not be a burden to the mind. The prayers of Abah and Ummi will always be a protector for all of us even though we live far apart. Oh yeah, what about the new santriwati? Did it adapt well?" Abi Ilyas continued to try to divert the conversation so that the two parents were no longer sad because they could not go to see their second son who was sick.
"So far it's been pretty good, though a bit of a chatty and chatty post. But he was quite good in following the learning," explained Ummi Aida explained about Myesha.
"Thank God, yes, that's it. Ilyas permission to go inside to rest first Ummi. Later Ilyas will tell Mayra to meet the boy, after a short break,"
"Alright, don't push too much. If you're still tired, tomorrow you can."
"Yes Ummi, Ilyas went in first." said Ilyas to his parents.
"Yes, come in and rest."
Abi Ilyas immediately left the room and rushed to his room with Umma Mayra.
Feeling tired after a long and long journey, makes both of them want to immediately rest their tired bodies.
