Nadhifa had already woken up from her sleep, the girl opened her eyes slowly, gathering her consciousness.
Then he stepped foot into the bathroom, cleaned himself and berwudhu' to perform tahajjud prayer as usual.
Not to forget he did Istikharah prayer to ask for instructions on the proposal of Bu Rahma.
After the prayer, the nosed girl went to the kitchen to help the mother of Lastri prepare food for the children of the home.
After tidying her hair, the girl saw Mother Lastri cutting a fish.
"What do you want to cook now ?" said it.
"Mother wants to fry fish with omelet " replied Mother Lastri while cleaning fish scales in the sink.
The girl approached and started preparing the seasoning to fry the fish, then she sliced the onions and some shrimp to mix with the eggs.
The fish that has been cut has been mixed with seasoning and ready to be fried
so did the shrimp mix omelet.
Mother Lastri fries fish and omelet while Nadhifa cleans some cayenne pepper and tomatoes to make sambal.
"Eventually everything is ready Bun". said Nadhifa relieved.
"Yes dear... Now wake up the other sisters...!" pinta's mother Lastri went to her room to get ready.
"Ready mother..." Nadhifa rushed to her sisters' room and began to wake them up to take a bath and perform congregational morning prayers at the front house mosque.
Once they were ready, Nadhifa went to the room to wear the Mucenah and followed the others to Mushola.
...
In Mushola already seen younger brothers who are ready to pray, indeed the nursery bed that women and men separated.
the girls slept with Nadhifa and Lastri while the boys stayed at the home of Rahman's father and his wife, Naya's mother.
But when they all gathered in prayer, as usual, congregational prayers were led by Rahman's father.
After the morning prayers the children continued njai until sunrise.
...
" Let's have our kids eat." said Mother Lastri.
Mother Lastri prepares food in front of the house on a mat that has been prepared Nadhifa.
Mother Lastri and Nadhifa began busy arranging food, there was a little girl was ready with a uniform on her body, not to forget the backpack she had placed in the mosque, he said, the little girl sat waiting for the others.
mother Lastri saw him and called him to come closer.
"What's mom ...?" ask the eight-year-old girl.
"Please call Rahman's father, Naya's mother and the other children yaa." said Mother Lastri.
"Yes mother." the girl ran to Rahman's father's house.
One by one they came and sat down together to start breakfast before starting their activity .
...
After the children left school, Mother Lastri and Nadhifa rushed to clean the dirty dishes at the help of Naya's mother.
Rahman's father had also left for school, because Rahman's father was one of the teachers who taught not far from the school near the orphanage.
After washing the dishes, Mother Lastri and Mother Naya prepared to go to the market to buy some vegetables and fish to cook.
Now in the house there is only Nadhifa who is cleaning the house and washing clothes.
When his work was done, Nadhifa went back to the room to clean up and perform dhuha prayers.
Nadhifa sat quietly while carrying the prayer hall and began to read it.
Nadhifa's heart always felt calm when reciting the holy verses of the Qur'an.
...
Nadhifa sat in the living room, thinking about what answer she would give to Ms. Rahma.
The longer he prayed istikharah, the stronger the desire to receive the offer.
"Maybe this is the answer to the Istikharah prayer that I do" said Nadhifa slowly.
He rejected too many men who came to ask him, not voters but Nadhifa was still not ready to go from the place that had been sheltering him since infancy.
Nadhifa let out a long sigh to release the burden on her heart, more than twenty years of her life in that parlour.
It was very hard to leave the home let alone leave the mother of Lastri, who he had considered like his biological mother.
