Six years passed.
A beautiful girl with a mocca-colored hijab is being bullied by the children of an orphanage who are cared for by a boarding school.
The girl smiled widely when she heard the sound of teaching children pesantren which was so soothing.
He is grateful until this moment can still breathe after the incident he almost died when carried by the river currents are quite swift.
The girl breathed clean and cool air while stretching out her hands, until a santri called her name.
"Sister Chelsea..."
Chelsea turned to the source of the voice, "Zahra."
"Sister, called Umi." Zahra.
Chelsea nodded and rubbed Zahra's head.
"Assalmualaikum Umi's.." Chelsea Say.
"Vaalaikumsalam.. Come in the Sea." Answer Umi Aira.
"Umi would like to thank you for the help of your friends who channeled for this pesantren." Umi.
Chelsea smile.
"What about your memorization? Is there a problem?" Ask Umi.
"Alhamdulillah, no, Umi."
Yes, the woman is Chelsea Nathaniel, a woman who survived death when she was trapped by the river current.

"You have to be careful Ci when KKN later, where else is the season of hijan, Kok Mami heavy yes let you go." Jessica said the first time she released Chelsea for KKN in a village for some time.
"Ck, this Mommy, I've grown Mi.. Believe me this time." Answer Chelsea who was in college at that time in semester seven.
"But for Mami, you're still Mami's little baby."
"Mi, there are also many other friends of mine, we take care of each other, especially the friends of one group."
Jessi sighed, "You should be in a department with Davan and Aldrich, a time like this Mami can calm down if they're with you."
"Mami Lebay, I'm an adult, I can take care of myself without having to bother Davan and Aldrich."
Jessi and Tristan heavily released Chelsea for KKN in a village for eight weeks. Chelsea enjoys the atmosphere of a village that is so cool and beautiful.
"Chel, I pray first in musholla." Said Dessy, Chelsea's groupmate.
Chelsea nodded, watching her friends who walked side by side to a place called musholla.
"Sir Zayn, how are you there?" Chelsea murmured while looking at the sky that kept blackening.
Six weeks already Chelsea is in this village, he is currently in the river to wash his clothes in the river that has water is still very clear, but due to heavy rain last night, makes the river water a little murky and quite heavy."
"I don't think you can be holy now." Dessy.
Chelsea nodded, "Yes, we have returned to the village. Just drizzle again."
"You're wearing my hijab, Chel. Drizzling like this makes your head dizzy." Said Dessy while giving one hijab that will be washed but not too dirty.
"I look like a Muslim." Chelsea laughed and put on Dessy's hijab.
"But you fit Chel."
Chelsea just smiled, then they climbed the bridge to go to the village, the other friends had already returned to the village.
"Chel, it looks like the bridge is rocking." Dessy.
Chelsea stopped and the bridge collapsed until Dessy and Chelsea fell into the river and were carried away.
"Dessy..." Chelseek that saw Dessy was carried away and Chelsea behind him.
Chelsea tried to reach the rocks but failed, he had felt the cold and his strength was getting weaker, even Chelsea had not seen the existence of Dessy anymore. Until Chelsea felt his body more light and carried by the river. And he felt instantly his body as if pulled, apparently his hijab was stuck on a twig that dangled into the river.
The sound of the children's voices made Chelsea carried to her consciousness, slowly she began to open her eyes.
"Alhamdulillah, you are conscious." Zahra then shouted to Umi and Abah.
Doctors at the hospital examined Chelsea. "The conditions are good, but the passien is still in shock." Said the doctor.
"You who? Where'm I?" Chelsea asked in a weak voice.
"I'm Umi Aira, and this is my husband Abah Hussein. You're in our boarding school." Soft yam.
Chelsea saw herself wearing a headscarf, like the hijab that Ghea liked to wear, but the headscarf did not belong to the dessy she was on loan at the time.
"What's your name, and where's your house?" Ask Dr. Arifin.
"I'm Chelsea and my house is in town."
"Why am I here?" Ask Chepsea then.
"You were found by the santri here, it looks like you were dragged down by the river. You've been here three days."
Chelsea remembered the fateful incident that day.
"Dessy.." Mumbled.
"Who's Dessy, son?" Ask Umi Aira.
"She's my friend ma'am, fell off the bridge too. We're students from XX university, we're KKN in the village." Then Chelsea told of the fateful incident at that time.
Tristan is shocked to find out if Chelsea called him, even since Chelsea was reported missing by the campus, he asked Fariz for help to move his men to find his beloved Princess.
Tristan, Jessi, and Fariz immediately went to the boarding house.
"Chew..." Pekik Jessi and immediately hugged Chelsea.
"Praise god. You're still alive, baby." Tristan hugged Chelsea as well.
Without them knowing Chelsea still wear a headscarf called the hijab.
After the conditions began to calm, Tristan told about his friend Chelsea.
"What Pi? Dessy was found dead?" Chelsea did not believe it.
Tristan nodded, and Chelsea had already shed tears back, crying over the departure of one of her best friends.
"Ci, we're home." Take Tristan.
Chelsea nodded. Then he said goodbye to the head of the cottage,
"Mom, can I ask for this hijab?" Chelsea's question pointed to Zahra's hijab worn by her.
"Wear it when you're comfortable, son." Umi Aira said while giving also the hijab owned by Dessy who had lent it.
Jessi and Tristan looked in wonder at her daughter.
For several days Chelsea was hospitalized, but she was still reluctant to remove her hijab. Jessi did not mind it, the important thing is that Chelsea's condition soon improved.
Ghea went into Chelsea's treatment room.
"Ghe, you happened to come. I'll leave Chelsea, yeah, I'll have to go home for a minute." Jessica said.
"Yes Jess, let me keep Checi here." Ghea did not refuse.
Ghea cheered Chelsea, "You're so pretty wearing a headscarf." Ghea smiled.
"This veil saved Checi Ma.." Lirih Chelsea's.
"Is there a ban on non-Muslims wearing headscarves, Ma?" Ask Chelsea.
Ghea smiled, "Go back to yourself, if you feel comfortable, wear it. May you seek guidance from Allah." Ghea prayer is sincere.
Chelsea bit her lower lip like she wanted to say something.
"What's wrong?" Ask Ghea while holding Chelsea's hand.
"If Chelsea became a Muslim, would Papi and Mami still recognize Chelsea as his son?" Ask Chelsea carefully.
"God willing." Ghea shut her mouth in disbelief. "You got Ci's guidance?"
"Chelsea would like to pray for Chelsea's friend Ma. She gave Chelsea the hijab. But Chelsea fear Papi and Mami are angry. Mama Ghea can help Chelsea?"
Ghea hugged Chelsea, "All right, baby. Mama Ghea will help you talk to Papi and your Mama."

"What?? Chelsea want to convert?" Tanya Tristan did not believe it.
"Tan, Chelsea said she felt comfortable wearing the hijab, according to her it was her hijab that saved her."
"can't. This can't." Tristan refused.
While Jessi just rubbed her temples.
"Tristan, you can't be like that." said Monica who entered the conversation.
"Ma.. Chelsea's still unstable." Tristan
"Chelsea's been twenty-one years, Tan. He can choose where his beliefs are." Monica.
"Why does Mama support him?" Tristan's question doesn't understand.
"That belief can't be forced, Tan. What's more, Chelsea's faith is not for a reason, but she gets her comfort by being a Muslim." Answer Monica wisely.
Tristan let out a breath.
"Tristan, with Chelsea being a convert, doesn't mean he's stopped being your son and Jessi's son." This time Fadhil tried to give some understanding.
"Chelsea's blood is still yours." Say again.
"It's just a matter of belief and Chelsea have found their belief."
"Yes Tristan, there's nothing wrong. Look at your Papa's sister, they also converted and kept the friendship with your Papa, still respecting your Papa as his Brother." Monica.
Tristan looked at Jessica. "Bee, what do you think?" Ask Tristan.
"I do want us a family to be in one belief, but if Chelsea are comfortable with that belief, I can only support it, Bang. Hopefully this is the best for Chelsea." Lirih Jessi's.
Tristan is putting on her hair.
