Assalamualaikum Captain

Permission from Mama

Her name is Nayla Saputri.

The girl, who is now busy with clothes and a small suitcase that she will carry for a week, is enjoying her summer break.

The hijab-wearing girl from Indonesia and Malaysia who is currently completing her S2 studies at Fukuoka Women's University, Japan.

Everyday he lives in a foreign student dormitory that has been provided by the campus with his best friend Keyla. And of course with other foreign students.

It's just that he's been in a room with Keyla for two years.

Not much different from her, Keyla Anindita is a native girl from the country of Neiran, Malaysia.

Although Nayla has not settled in Malaysia for a long time, the relationship is still well established until now they decided to study at the same campus in the country of Sakura.

Nayla and Keyla are students majoring in Language and Culture at the final level who are now busy with thesis work.

The summer break saw Nayla and Keyla working on a thesis from the dormitory. Unlike other college students who choose to return to the city even to their respective countries, they both prefer to stay in the dormitory, completing the thesis slowly while enjoying the time off.

Ah, that statement is more suitable for Keyla, because Nayla is now getting ready to take up her annual hobby, traveling.

Keyla knew very well that his best friend was a hobby of exploring cities and even countries people just to get his own pleasure. Especially if not for History, Culture and a picture.

"Where else is Nay?" said Keyla who is already fluent with the accent of Indonesian speech.

Keyla, who was lying on her stomach in her bed watching a Korean drama, glanced at Nayla who was now staring at the contents of her suitcase. He must carefully carry the items that are important and that he will need while in the country of people.

"China" Nayla replied without being distracted.

"You haven't been there before, have you?"

Nayla nodded, "But this time in a different province," she replied with a big smile.

He walked over to Keyla and sat on the girl's bed.

"This time I will go to the province where the last emperor of the Qing dynasty is Changchun," Nayla looks excited.

"Do you know what province it is?"

He looked at Keyla who was just silently waiting for a story from her who began to be arrogant with her knowledge of the Bamboo Curtain Country with sparkling eyes.

"Do you know whose emperor's name is?"

Nayla asked enthusiastically.

Keyla rolled her eyes puffed. Although they are friendly, their tastes are very different. One of them, Keyla prefers the Land of Gingseng and Nayla prefers the Bamboo Curtain Country.

"ihh bodo ah. I know about China" the girl turned her eyes back to her laptop screen.

While Nayla laughed at Keyla who was upset.

"What drama are you watching this time?" Nayla asked when she accidentally saw a chase scene between a woman and several soldiers.

"Oh this, the new drama is Crash landing on you," Keyla changed her prone position to a sitting position. He was getting tired of that position.

"You know, this woman is South Korean, while these soldiers are North Korean soldiers," Keyla began to look excited about the drama she was watching.

"continue? why is he being chased?" ask Nayla who is interested.

"She was in a paragliding accident due to wind blows*****pick and eventually landed in the North's military zone."

Keyla kept telling stories. With sparkling eyes and a bright face he summarized the scenes that occurred in each episode of the drama to be told to Nayla.

In the middle of his focus on storytelling, Nayla's right hand moves on Keyla's laptop touchpad.

He frowned when he saw the episode of the drama in the new keyla episode one. But his best friend was able to tell the story of the drama until half an episode.

"Have you seen this drama how many times?" tanya Nayla cuts Keyla's story.

Keyla was grinning like a fool.

"two or three times?" The girl seemed to think.

"Jeez key. like there's no other drama stock," he didn't think about it with his best friend.

"aaahh, no more paper." screeched with anxiety as he recalled the romantic scenes of the two South Korean artists.

Nayla shook her head looking at Keyla who was now like a possessed person.

"Be careful crazy key."

Nayla resumed activities that had been delayed.

"What else is it?" the murmur was slow but could still be heard by Keyla.

"The Qur'an has Nay?" keyla asked when the girl could control herself.

"Oh yes. The Qur'an," Nayla stepped onto her bookshelf and grabbed a small Mushaf that could be taken anywhere.

"Well, I think so," The girl smiled with satisfaction and immediately closed her suitcase.

Now all he needs to do is call his mother who is in Indonesia.

The girl grabbed her phone and started dialing the number of the woman she loved the most.

In Japan it has been shown a time of 20:30, meaning the current time in the city where his parents live has been shown a time of 21:30. The time difference between Japan and central Indonesia is only about 1 hour. For that he did not worry about disturbing sleep hours when calling his parents.

"Hello, Assalamualaikum Ma."

Nayla said when the phone call was connected.

A greeting from across.

"Ma, Nayla wants permission to travel again," he said while grinning. He knew that although his parents always gave him the freedom to travel, but both parents were still worried about his safety. The proof is that he will be given the advice of the heart first before they will finally say-yes, as long as you are careful well Nak-so to him.

"It's only been Ma a week, but if Nay gets what Nay wants, Nay returns soon," he said trying to convince his mother.

There was a heavy sigh from there, "Yes, as long as you are careful, son," said Mama Nayla, although with a heavy heart.

Nayla had already predicted the answer from her mother. Every year his words are the same.

The phone call was terminated. Nayla was still smiling widely because she had obtained permission from her mother.

That means the permission of his mother is the permission of his father as well.

He glanced at Keyla who was on the bed next door,

since when did he fall asleep? his inner voice asked when he saw the girl was sleeping soundly but still faced with her laptop.

Nayla walked over to Keyla. His hand moved the laptop to his best friend's desk.

He looked back at Keyla. He covered Keyla to the chest of the girl.

His hand moved slipping Keyla's hair child covering her face behind her ear.

"Take care of myself as long as I don't have a key. You're my best friend" he half-whispered.

The girl returned to her bed and began to submerge herself into dreamland.

Tomorrow is the day of his departure.
