"Myesha Safeera Kusuma Wijaya Nyai, why Nyai?" myesha answered by turning around to ask.
"It's okay, son, I just want to know. What do you think of living here?" ask Umma Mayra again to divert the conversation.
"Alhamdulillah cried Nyai. I learned a lot here and I want to learn more" answered Myesha honestly.
"Alhamdulillah then. Yes already, continue learning, later do not be late in the memorization hour. He's waiting at the mushola,"
"Okay Nyai,"
"His saying yes, assalamu'alaikum,"
"Yes Nyai, Waalaikumsalam warahmatullahi wabarakatuh."
Umma Mayra was back to leave her students who were busy reading books in the park.
Umma Mayra also returned to the main house to prepare a dinner that is usually done before rote hours began.
Arriving at home, Ilham looked to be together with his little sister Yumna. The one who was whining asked to be taken away on the road even though it was almost evening.

"Tomorrow yes, soon magrib and in time magrib should not roam outside the house. Tomorrow Abang promised to take Adek wherever Adek want," said Ilham who was heard directly by Umma Mayra who had just entered the house.
"Title again?" Tanya Umma when he was near Ilham and also the little Yumna.
"Obviously, ask for a storybook. But Abang forgot," replied Ilham who had forgotten if the sister asked him to buy a children's story book that became his collection so far.
Even the bookcase in his room can no longer contain the story book book owned by little Yumna.
"But Abang promised yes, tomorrow take Adek to the bookstore in the city. Adek does not want if in the bookstore next door, the storybook is just that and Adek already have all,"
"Yes Adek dear, now clean clean yes. Out of the congregation of magrib we have dinner, then join Abang to memorize in mushola."
"Yes, okay."
Although still in sulking mode and put on a sullen face. But Yumna also obeyed the orders of the brother.
The little girl went back into her room to clean herself up and came back out after changing into a clean dress and a fresh face.
Yumna immediately rushed to the mosque in the house to pray magrib with Umma and Yan'ti.
While Ilham, Abi Ilyas and also Abah Yusril held his magrib prayer at the main mosque of the boarding school.
After performing the congregational magrib prayer, the three men of other generations returned home to enjoy dinner with family.
And that night's activities continued in the main mosque again. There was something different from the presence of the handsome and well-established young Ustadz.
If usual Ustadz Ilham will enter the mosque alone. But not for today. A small child appeared to accompany the presence of the adult man.
“Assalamu’alaikum,” said Gus Ilham as soon as he entered the mosque by holding the hand of little Yumna.
“Waalaikumsalam warahmatullahi wabarakatuh, Mr. Ustadz.” replied the santriwan and santriwati from their respective places.
“It's ready for rote tonight?”
“Insya Allah is ready Mr. Ustadz,”
“Alright, let's start,”
The memorization event was immediately started after Gus Ilham occupied his place in the follow by the little Yumna who sat beside him.
“That's Ning Yumna, her sister Gus Ilham.” Nurma replied in a whisper as well.
“Wah, how many years difference are they? kok even like Father and son,” continued Myesha who did not stop paying attention to the little girl who was so attached to her brother.
“18 years,” replied Nurma.
“Who would like to chat can continue outside yes. Don't disturb his friend who is focused on learning,”
Excited Gus ILham who made Myesha and Nurma shocked, because he was caught chatting in the middle of the Qur'an memorization.
Both Nurma and Myesha eventually fell silent and then returned to memorization under the supervision of the eagle eyes of the Ustadz.
In fact, until the rote ceremony is finished and the santriwan and santriwati leave their place. Gusl Ilham was still watching over Myesha and Nurma.
"You two come with me to the discipline room" Gus Ilham said before leaving the mosque with Yumna in his sling.
The little girl apparently fell asleep in the middle of the lesson. Until Ilham also had to carry it when it will be brought home to the main house.
“You wait for me inside, I will return after delivering Yumna home,” tita Gus Ilham who seems indisputable again.
“Good Mr. Ustadz,” answered the two and then immediately entered the room that is intended for students and schoolgirls who are in trouble or are facing a problem.
“Gus Inspiration if again serious mode serem yes?” myesha said when she was in the room.
“Yes, that's why. He was most feared and feared. Anyway, why are you also nanya? already know that Gus Ilham did not like anyone chatting during his lesson hours,”
“Why do you blame me? you too, why answer everything. So talk to us,”
“Darning times neng, the soul of women is so. Every time it is fished it must be a continuation.”
The two also chuckled together. Not long after, Gus Ilham seemed to visit the room.
With an intimidating look, Gus Ilham stared intently at Nurma as well as Myesha. Then, Gus Ilham sat on the single sofa that was there.
"do you know why I called you here?" Ask her to the point.
"Know Ustadz" answered Myesha and Nurma simultaneously.
"Do you know the rules here?"
"Know Ustadz," answered the two girls looking so compact.
"Then? Why are you breaking that rule?"
"I'm sorry Ustadz. God willing, we won't repeat it again,"
"Good, I'll hold on to the word you two said. Even so, you'll still get punished,"
"Well Ustadz, we will accept the sentence with sincerity." His second answer began to look weak and resigned to the current state.
"Good, you must indeed receive it with a spacious chest. Because this is your own fault, and as his punishment. Starting tomorrow and one week into the future, you should help Ustadzah Laila in managing the library. You also have to help him clean up the books there and clean up the entire library room. To be clean and comfortable when used, you understand?"
"Good Ustadz, understood." The two answered obediently.
"Good, then you may return to your own rooms. Remember, your work starts tomorrow."
"Well Ustadz, then we'll have permission to return to the dormitory."
"All right, please."
"We say to Mr. Ustadz, Assalamu'alaikum,"
"Yes, waalaikumsalam warahmatullahi wabarakatuh,"
After Nurma and Myesha, Ilham could only sigh deeply and shake his head.
