The afternoon after returning home from the office Dinda looked lethargic and less excited. Even so, he still went to the mosque to teach children.
In the courtyard of the mosque, children were running around waiting for their bodies to come.
"Hey, Dinda's ustadzah is coming!" Shouts Alia reminded her friends, after she saw Dinda appear not far from the courtyard of the mosque.
Children run into the mosque. Occupy each of their seats.
Not long after that Dinda set foot into the mosque foyer, immediately standing in front of the children.
"Assynolt,"
"Waalaikumsalam, ustadzah," answered the children in unison. Then the children stood up from their seats marching to Ustadzah one by one shaking hands and kissing his hands.
"Barakatallah!" Ustadzah Dinda repeatedly said.
After reciting the prayer demanding knowledge, the children alternately setor reading the Quran. The Ustadzah listens and allows if there are readings that are not yet true.
An hour without feeling has passed. The teaching today is over.
As usual, finished listening to the recitation of the Quran of the santri, Dinda fulfill the willingness of the santri to tell stories.
For kids, stories are fun. They always demanded that Ustadzah Dinda tell the stories of the Prophets and Apostles.
"Where did we tell you?" Tanya Ustadzah Dinda's.
"Emmm..," Alia was still trying to remember.
From the back bench Iqbal shouted. "Till this Ustadzah!"
Dinda turned to look at Iqbal. I want to listen to what the students are going to say.
"Yes, Iqbal, where's the last story?" Ask Dinda gently.
"After Adam and Eve had come down from heaven, they both begged Allah for forgiveness and repented of their deeds." Iqbal imitated the speech of Ustadzah Dinda the other day.
"He was right up there the story, Ustadzah," said the other children alternately.
"How did the Prophet Adam alaihissalam sound? Who knows?" Dinda tried to ask her students.
"Robbana dholamna anfusana wailam tagfirlana watarhamna lana kunanna minal khosirin" Iqbal and Alia said slowly.
"Let us follow together the Prophet Adam repent to Allah SWT!" Take Dinda to all her students. Dinda began to stand up and walked around her son.
"Robbana dholamna anfusana wailam tagfirlana watarhamna lana kunanna minal khosirin," they simultaneously pronounce this with a doubt that can touch the heart very much.
"One more time!" Shouted Ustadzah Dinda to encourage his santri.
After three times reciting it, then Ustadzah Dinda explained the meaning.
"Well, that was the prayer of the Prophet Adam in asking for forgiveness and repentance to Allah which means, O Allah, O our Lord, we have wronged ourselves, and if Thou hast not forgiven us and given us mercy, surely we shall be among the losers."
Ustadzah Dinda paused for a moment. Silent atmosphere. No children talking. They were all silent and focused on listening to what his Ustadzah had to say.
"Next, God commanded the Prophet Adam and the Lady of Eve to descend from heaven to earth.
Adam and Eve were not sent down in the same place. The Prophet Adam was descended on the hilltop of Sri Pada in the Srilanka region. Siti Hawa was deployed in the Arab region. After several years of Prophet Adam ventured to find Siti Eve, Prophet Adam was then reunited with Siti Eve in Jabal Rahmah.
Jabal Rahmah is a hill that is often called a mountain, located near Padang Arafat. On the day of Arafat, at the peak of Hajj worship is often visited by many pilgrims. Jabal Rahmah was the first place where the Prophet Adam met with Siti Eve.
They built a family by giving birth to 40 children who were born twins.
Al-Qur’an surah Al-Maidah verse 27 to verse 31, which is when both offer sacrifices, then the sacrifice of one of them both (Habil) received from the other (Qabil) is not accepted. And out of spite, Qabil killed Habil. Verily, Allah accepts (practice) only from those who fear Allah.
As an adult, Qabil was a farmer and cultivated crops, while Habil was a rancher and herder. When giving his sacrifice, Habil offered a fat goat in his possession, but Qabil only offered his crops with poor quality. After the sacrifice was offered, God sent fire to the sacrifice, snatched the sacrifice and left the sacrifice of Qabil.
Knowing that his victim was rejected, Qabil became angry and spiteful of Habil and told him that he was really going to kill him.
So the lust of Qabil encouraged him to kill his brother, so he was among the losers.
Then God sent a raven to dig the ground to show Qabil how he should bury his brother's corpse. Qabil said, "Oh, woe to me! Why can't I do something like this crow, so I can bury my brother's body?" Then be Qabil including those who are sorry."
Dinda stopped there to end her story today. Santrinya still sat quietly watching him and listened to the contents of his story quoted from the Quran contained in the letter of Al-Maidah.
By teaching and telling stories with children for a moment can entertain and forget the heartbreak of Dinda.
"Come, Ustadzah?" Ask Iqbal who is always curious.
"Continue, the prophethood of Prophet Adam was continued by his son number five, the Prophet Syith." Ustadzah Dinda spoke slowly and smiled.
"To the children, our story today until here first, another time continued again. Let us now pronounce as our thanksgiving to God."
"Alhamdulillahi rabbil 'alamin." Say the children together with Dinda simultaneously as the closing of their meeting today.
"It's about to enter Maghrib time, let's prepare. Please turn to ablution! And don't play water, yeah!"
"Yes Ustadzah." Answer the children with passion.
"Let's have a sholawat!"
"Sholallahu ala Muhammad, sholallahu alaihi wasallam,"
As the children finished their ablution, Muadzin entered the mosque. Not long after,
"Allahu akbar! Allahu akbar!" Adzan's voice began to be heard.
People began to arrive and enter the mosque wearing clean and neat clothes, they will perform congregational maghrib prayers.

Coming home from the mosque, the dormitory looked deserted. Ana, Maya and Santi have gone to the kitchen first for dinner. After laying down his face, Dinda caught up with them.
When Dinda got to the kitchen, Ana was done eating.
"Din, I'm ahead!" Ana headed for the door while carrying a compote of ijo beans in a large glass.
"Yes, Ma'am," said Dinda who was enjoying her meal.
Arriving at the dorm, Ana sits in front of the terrace with Maya who has followed her back from the kitchen.
"Today's quiet, May, no one's playing here." Ana.
Maya did not have time to answer, came two brimob who seemed to replace Mahmud and Andi.
