This afternoon, Medina and her friends were preoccupied with Ramadan activities in the market. This is the first day of fasting so they look a little pale despite being excited.
" Mey, actually who is the donor who prepares the catering to open together? How do direct messages at the place where the mother continues to be helped by ART from the house of Mr Jamal?" ask Adam.
" Why do you still think about that? You should be grateful because you get many orders in this blessed month." said Medina with a smile.
" You are, Mey. It's smart to find an excuse."
" Once, Darman. What matters is that it can be a halal windfall."
" Is... Does Darman? Call ustadz Adam Maulana.." asserted Adam who made Medina laugh giggling.
" Why laugh? Don't I deserve to be an ustadz?"
" Yes.you deserve to be an ustadz. Yes, now Mr. ustadz Adam Maulana please go inside because the show will start soon."
Ririn, Bayu and Johan are tidying up the sitting position of children who will learn to teach according to their level. Assisted by some of Jefri's men who have been dressed neatly with cocoa clothes and sarongs.
" Mey, there are some of Jefri's men who want to learn to teach. Who will teach them?" ask Ririn.
" Let's calm, there's Adam's ustadz" Medina replied, glancing at Adam.
" Why me, Mey?" adam's Protest.
" What did I become who's ustadz?" medina Ledek.
" Huhh.. well, who dares to argue with you." said Adam resigned.
They divide the tasks according to their respective groups. Because iqro' has six levels, so they divide the tasks in turn each day.
" Mey, we're only four people. Two more levels who's teaching?" ask Bayu because Adam has been assigned to teach Jefri's men.
" Bang Jefri...!" call Medina.
" Yes, Boss."
" Don't call me that, if there's an outsider listening it could be a big deal."
" I'm sorry, Neng Medina."
" Of course, Bang Jefri can teach njai?"
" God willing, we can. But iqro' one huh, Neng?"
" Yes, but there's less than one."
" I can teach kids."
As they were looking for someone who could help them, Dani came to offer. All turned their heads towards the source of the voice and looked at the young man sharply.
" Do you want to riot here?!" hardik Bayu's.
" Bay, watch your talk. We're fasting, keep your emotions in check" Medina said.
" But, Mey_..."
" Let me talk to Dani."
Medina invites Dani to sit next to Mushola. He can't make up his mind before there's an explanation.
" What was your purpose in coming here?" ask Medina flat.
" Mey, I want to improve morals here. Do I not deserve to be sorry?" said Dani sincerely.
" You sure? What is the guarantee that you're not doing anything here?"
" For God's sake, Mey, I really want to repent. I've also tried to take responsibility for the girl but until now you didn't want to tell me where she lived. Her parents' house is empty now."
" Alright, I can accept you here as long as you really sincerely want to improve."
" Thank you, Mey. You're a good friend. Can I be part of all five of your friendships? Let's just say this is a request. I need a friend who can bring kindness."
" You better apologize to them, may your sincere intentions melt their hearts."
" Yes, Mey. I'll definitely apologize to them."
" It doesn't have to be too formal either, we'll be friends" Medina said.
Dani immediately approached Bayu and his friends. Medina believes that this time Dani really wants to change.
" Bayu, Johan, Adam and Ririn, I would like to apologize for yesterday's incident that hurt you all so much. I promise I won't do it again and please help me to become a better person" Dani said.
" Hmm... Do you seriously want to change?" said Adam.
" If I don't believe it." - cynical Bayu.
" Bay, there's no harm in us believing. Maybe Dani really wants to change." said Medina.
After a small debate, they finally accepted Dani's presence even though they still felt doubt.
" Yes, we're starting the show now. The children are waiting inside" said Ririn.
They all entered the Mushola and prepared to teach the children. Medina painstakingly and patiently taught the children to memorize letter by letter. He exchanged places with Jefri because it was very difficult to teach the introduction of hijaiyah letters from the beginning.
" Life... Ba'... Ta'.." said Medina followed some children who may be about five years old.
" Sister, why are the letters so strange?" ask a child with innocence.
" The letter's not weird, Deck. It's just that you guys aren't used to learning to know him. This is the Arabic letter, the first step so that we can read the holy book of Allah, the Qur'an."
Medina re-introduces letter by letter slowly so that children can easily understand it. It is not easy for children - children can quickly memorize Arabic letters if they do not study regularly.
" Mey, it's almost maghrib. We've done today's activities, catering has also come" said Adam.
" Yes, you tell the children so they stand up neatly and we close this activity. We should share the food now, afraid that later the children will return home. Poor whose house is far away."
After the closing ceremony was completed, they distributed food to the children and then told to go home directly so as not to arrive at their respective homes.
" Hhh.. was tired of also teaching children to teach." lamented Bayu.
" So we have to respect the teacher. Teachers must teach their students daily with extra patience. For example, his father Medina, he always patiently faced his students even though sometimes they troublemakers to the outside" said Johan.
" Already, his name is looking for reward that nothing is easy. As long as we are sincere, everything must be a blessing." said Ririn.
Everyone sat in the foyer of Mushola while waiting for the breaking of the fast. Medina stared at the street in front of her as if she was waiting for someone.
" Hey... Why daydream? Are you waiting for someone?" guess Dani.
" No, wait for your prayer at Mushola." elak Medina.
" really? If it can make you believe in my sincerity, then I will make the Adhan echo." Dani replied.
" Can you please Adzan?"
" So you doubt my abilities? I'll prove it later when the time comes."
Adzan Maghrib is five minutes away, Dani is preparing to announce the Adhan for the first time since he entered the High School. His soul trembled very strongly when he remembered his sins all this time. Perhaps because there was no good upbringing about religion in his family, Dani's life was very far from religion.
" O Allah, forgive all sins - the sins of the servant during this time. Accept the repentance of the servant because he was negligent in carrying out his duties as a Muslim." Dani.
