Ranty secretly follows Rizal's car. And that's where he found out about Nissa's house. He smiled with satisfaction from a distance.

"Nissa, wait for my calculation. Just look," he's.

Ranty immediately left the place. Shortly after Ranty left, Rizal, who had finished driving Nissa straight home.

The maghrib adhan also reads. The voice of Adhan reverberated and put to each other. Rizal beru came hustling to prepare for congregational prayer with his family.

Meanwhile, Syifa has been in the mosque in his village for congregational prayers.

At Syifa's house, after the family held a congregational shplat, her mother was seen preparing dinner for the family. While making dinner, his mother who was astonished by Syifa's attitude lately asked her sister.

"Robby, koq tuh tuh Syifa diligently le mosque. Not usually," his mother told his sister Syifa.

Robby smile. He has apparently known the reason why Syifa has been so diligent in going to the mosque lately.

"Yes, sister again there is a heart, Mom is our new neighbor, Izam," Robby said with a smile.

Mother's surprised. He smiled at Robby's response.

"Oh, so Syifa was so diligent to the mosque that there was a point? Uhm ... Syifa .. Syifa," her mother said in her heart.

Meanwhile in the mosque, Syifa seemed to be following the tausiyah. However, he secretly stole a glance at Izam who was listening to tausiyah from Mr. Ustadz.

The neighbor Syifa who saw Syifa daydreaming immediately patted her shoulder.

"Eyeh, Syifa. Don't daydream. Not okay. Tuh dengerin said Mr. Ustadz," he said while whispering.

Syifa. He refocused on listening to the tausiyah.

"Well, ladies and gentlemen. As believers, we are obliged to establish prayers. Is it establishing the prayer? Establishing prayer is not just doing prayer, but more

from it. The teaching when we pray must be concentrated in our lives" said Mr. Ustadz in his tausiyya.

Syifa listened intently to the tausiyah. And not long after, came the prayer time. Mr. Ustadz closed his tausiyya, and Izam who became a muezzin immediately adhan.

At home, Robby who was listening to Isya's adhan put his cellphone. He approached his mother who was sitting with his father in the living room.

"Tuh, Mum. Yang Adzan is now his idol brother," Robby told his mother.

Her mother and father, who were sitting in the living room, looked at Robby with a big smile.

"The voice of his adzan is very sweet," said his father smiling sweetly.

"Yes, Sir. The voice of Kak Syifa's idol," Robby replied with a laugh.

Mother smiled. "Of course, don't gossip. Cook a hobby guy gossip."

"Well, Koq's mom can't believe it. I'll ask Syifa, then" said Robby.

"Robby, already. Let's get some wudhu. We pray worshippers," his father asked.

Robby according. He immediately took ablution and immediately went into surau. Shortly after, his father and mother were preparing to pray together.

At the mosque, after the Isha prayer, Syifa waited in front of the mosque. Patiently, he waited for Izam to come out. Izam was talking to Mr. Ustadz. A bit old Izam

talk to Mr. Ustadz.

"Uhm ... Izam koq really long? Pegel on my feet … ." Syifa complained about her sore legs.

Repeatedly, he patted the mosquitoes that approached him.

"If it wasn't for Izam, I'm not waiting for him here" he said in his heart.

And, after a while, Izam finished talking with Mr. Ustadz. Syifa breathed a sigh of relief, but Izam did not expect that Syifa was waiting for him.

"Well, Syifa? I thought you were home?" said Izam astonished.

Syifa just kept silent while smilingly looking at Izam. Syifa did not blink at all.

Izam looked at Syifa with astonishment. Repeatedly he touched his shoulder, but Syifa who was carried away by wishful thinking did not budge.

"Fa, Syifa .. You're okay, right?" Izam asked as he waved his hand in front of Syifa's eyes.

Syifa jerks. The daydream was gone immediately. He was so shocked to see Izam in front of him.

"Oh .. I'm .. I'm okay," said Syifa blushed in embarrassment.

"Yeee .. met Izam aja kayak meet cassava," said Wiwin who just came out.

Syifa looked at Wiwin with a face of shame and annoyance. While Izam, frowning did not understand the meaning of Wiwin's speech.

"Izam, cook you don't know what he means. Tuh Syifa ngefans ama lo," said her friend who suddenly embraced her.

Izam smiled in astonishment. He looked at his friend.

"Ah, you are. There's-there's, Gatot," he said with an embarrassed smile.

Gatot just smiled. He immediately paid a farewell to Izam.

"Udah, the cave goes home first, Zam," said Gatot.

Izam just nodded. Gatot is gone soon. Wiwin who had not come home smiled at Izam.

"Come, Izam. Cook don't know if Shi … ." Wiwin's speech was interrupted when Syifa pinched his thigh.

Wiwin jumped in surprise. "Aw, Fa. Sick knows."

Syifa just looked at Wiwin with a flushed face holding in shame.

"Izam, I go home first, yeah. Tomorrow teach me to pay. Assalamu'alaikum, Zam," said Wiwin smiling sweetly.

Izam nodded with a friendly smile. He said, "Wa'alaikum Salam, Win."

Before it passed, Wiwin whispered to Syifa, "Syifa, express your feelings."

Syifa slightly widened her eyes, but Wiwin immediately passed leaving Syifa.

After Wiwin died, Syifa looked at Izam with a smile. Izam took her home.

"Syifa, it's night. Let's go home, yuk," Izam asked.

Syifa just smiled and nodded. They both left the mosque. On the way, Syifa tried to hold back her feelings. He looks nervous.

"Well, I can't feel my feelings. Is it time for me to express my feelings?"

ask in the heart.

"Mas Izam's. Uhm .. Syifa wanted to talk," Syifa said with a thumping feeling.

Izam looked at Syifa with his friendly smile.

"Yes already. What does Syifa want to talk about?" ask Izam.

Syifa stopped her steps. He closed his eyes for a moment. And after his feelings calmed down, he started talking.

"Mas Izam's. Syifa .. Syifa .. like Mas Izam." Syifa looked down embarrassed while squeezing the face she was carrying.

His face was red withstanding shame. Izam was aghast at Syifa's expression. He looked at Syifa as if in disbelief.

"Shyfa? You ... are you serious about what you say?" Izam asked in a surprised tone.

Syifa just nodded while looking down embarrassed. His hands continued to wring the face he was carrying. Feelings pounding. He was so worried that his love was clapping next to him

hand.

Izam was silent for a moment. He covered his mouth with his right hand. He looks confused. Syifa who saw Izam in confusion tried to calm him down.

"Mas Izam, m-sorry. I'm sorry if Syifa's words offended Izam," Syifa said with a palpitating feeling.

Izam momentarily fell silent. In his heart, he felt disbelief in Syifa's expression.

"Syifa, do you really like me?" his bathin.

He looked at Syifa as if in disbelief. His face looked sad.

"No, Syifa. You seriously like me?" ask Izam.

Syifa looked at Izam. He smiled gently while holding her hand.

"Mas Izam's. I seriously like you. You know I'm so jealous of your shock at Nissa. Also, I was once jealous when you met a client," she said

Syifa bluntly.

Izam. He stood his back to Syifa. In his heart, Izam said, "Syifa, you are so kind. But, am I worthy to be with you? You deserve a widower

like me?"

Izam's memory goes back to what happened two years ago. She's speechless.

- Izam---

One night, Izam was driving his pregnant wife. But a disaster

happen. The ambulance carrying his wife was hit by a truck whose brakes were blown off. The ambulance driver and his wife were killed instantly. The ambulance that took him ringsek.

The next morning, Izam woke up in the hospital. He was surprised to see himself in the hospital.

"Ughh! Where's me?!" said surprised.

He saw his parents and in-laws standing next to him. They looked at Izam with pity.

"Sir, Mum. How's Aisyah?" tanyakanya.

Her father and mother-in-law looked at her sadly, but tried to calm Izam down.

"Son, you're patient. Aisha and your son are gone, son," said her father-in-law.

"What?! Aisyah died?!" Izam ate his father-in-law.

Cry broke. Izam who loved Aisyah so much could not help his sadness.

- Izam---

Izam sighed. He looked back at Syifa. He told me about his past. Syifa was so shocked to learn of Izam's dark story.

"Shypha. I am still so sad to lose my wife and child. I haven't moved on from the late Aisyah" said Izam.

Syifa just smiled at Izam's reply. He's got his hand. Izam sighed.

"Shypha. Know why I'm closer to Nissa in your relationship? Because you remind me of the late Aisha. Your cheerfulness and humor remind me of

the late Aisyah," he said in a sad tone.

Syifa smiled sweetly. He tried to calm Izam down.

"Pure. I-i understand. I understand your situation. I promise, I will love you as much as Aisha, your late wife," Syifa said.

Izam. He looked back at Syifa gently.

"Alright, Fa. I will accept your love, even though I still haven't completely moved on from Aisyah" Izam said.

Izam held Syifa's hands together.

Syifa understood. "Thank you, thank you, thank you Syifa. Syifa. Syifa leave everything to God. May we be a match, my dear."

Izam smiled looking at Syifa.

"Amin, Syifa," she replied briefly.

The two of them immediately walked back to his house. Arriving at home, Syifa became moons. Robby always teases Syifa who just came home from the mosque.

His father and mother smiled to see Syifa joking with Robby, his sister.

Meanwhile, in her room, Nissa was flowering. He was replying to a message from Rizal. When the message was busy, the door was knocked.

"Before a second," said Nissa as she placed her phone on the bed.

He got out of his bed and opened the door. His mother looked at the door.

"Son, I'm asking you for a minute. Buy me a cough medicine," said his mother coughing.

Nissa just shut up and nodded.

"Yes, Mom. Nissa left first. I'll wait a minute" said Nissa.

Nissa immediately put on her hijab and perhi out of the house. He walked to a shop in front of his house. Shortly after, he came and brought cough medicine to his mother.

"Mom, here's the cure. May Allah cure the mother's illness through this remedy" said Nissa to help her mother take the medicine.

Her mother was so moved. He was so happy with Nissa's obedience.
