This morning, but it was already noon. Exel just woke up from her sleep. He is now in his birth village. The atmosphere of the village is more beautiful than the city, has not been bathed and the toothbrush Exel has been standing facing the rear balcony enjoying the spoi wind, although it is noon and the sun is already felt on the skin.
"Sister, said Mommy. Anterin me" Alexa's voice made the concentration of Exel who was feeling the fresh air immediately disturbed, he pined and looked at his sister with annoyance
"Well, I haven't had a bath yet either"
"Later 3 pm" replied Alexa just like that and immediately left.
Axel ignored her, he again enjoyed the atmosphere.
Afifah itself is busy with the Zakir application event with the village girl next door. Of the many girls who wanted Zakir, only one girl was so reluctant to get close to zakir, which is why zakir made her his wife. She's the only one of her girls who ducks her. While others, slalu open to zakir. Unable to deny. Zakir is an orphaned young man, who has been successful at a very young age. Especially now not only sell fertilizer. Zakir runs a rice factory owned by el, his brother-in-law, let alone the Factory is getting bigger.
"Sir, Zakir doesn't want a fancy party. What matters is wisdom. Most of my future wife is shy, she also does not want to be held a big party"
"How is your family?"
"His family is very simple. Kasian if we bring your family to come"
Afifah silently thought again of Zakir's words.
"Yasudah, the marriage contract is held in KUA only kir, after which all the bridesmaids are directed directly to your home. Let us be ready for dinner" suggested el
"Yes, ramdan is right. Let it be like that. You'll also invite your friends, right?"
"Yes mbak, if it's like that later I will go to the house of lek hanan sir"
"Yes, the day after we meet again, talk about this again"
"Yes, zakir will tell lek hanan"
"Yes, let's go home first"
zakir nodded and walked along to bring afifah and el to the front of the house.
Afifah and el got into the car, after honking twice, he stepped on the gas pedal so that the car was running.
Afifah and el return to his home. He wished his first child had woken up, because the sun was already overhead.
"Mas, all this time I've never seen Exel pray. Is he no longer Islamic?" asked the afifah in the car with a little fear.he was afraid el was angry.
"He is still islam, only there is not much Islamic activity, so you have to understand" replied el calmly while driving a car.
"Later Alexa will teach, let Exel interracial"
El turned to the afifah "As far as you go, in 2 weeks, he's back in America. You can understand Exel, I will support you" El smiled, he felt this was very necessary, so that the afifah did not think too much about Exel.
Mamang during this time Afifah never saw Exel praying.either can teach or not now, although in childhood before going to America has been able to teach hijaiyah letters.
"Assalamualaikum" Afifah said as he entered the house
"Waalaikumsalam" Alexa walked over to Afifah and el
"Papa's son is so pretty, where are you going?" Ask el
"Can I have a pa"
"But it's still 2 o'clock baby" el looked at his wrist
"And if it's Wednesday, enter at 2 because there is a study first pa"
"Ohh, yes papa forgot"
"Where is Exel xa?"
"Above mommy, I don't know how to get down. Alexa really, really, later Alexa can not sit on the inside of the mosque"
El rubbed the head of Alexa who was sitting next to her. Her lips smiled, Alexa really body into a girl sholehah, God willing.
"Mommy's gonna hold on for a second"
Afifah went up to the second floor, he saw his bachelor son had just combed his wet hair.
"Xel, you've been waiting for that"
"Yes mommy, just a minute"
Afifah approached the cupboard, then picked up something there.
"Wear this xel, to the mosque the lifetime of the same shirt shorts" Afifah gave the sarong and shirt
"Ihh, don't want mommy, let Exel use this. Besides, it's just dropping off"
"Yes, if you don't want to change your pants, don't wear gini shorts"
Exel looked at the afifah who was smiling to his "Okey, mommy came out first. Exel wants to change his pants"
"Yes, hurry up. Cassian Alexa"
"Yes yes mommy" replied Exel with a slight annoyance.
...****************...
Now the car that was driven by Exel was parked beside a mosque. Alexa went down after saying goodbye to Exel.
But as he was about to return home, Exel remembered that he did not know the way home. Exel had to wait for Alexa to finish.
"It's really boring here" Omel Exel after fifteen minutes in the car.
He went down, wearing sunglasses, and a hat. Some passers-by saw Exel continue.
"Who is he?"
"Is he bule?"
"Is he off"
Exel sighed, yes that's how Indonesia just takes care of people's affairs, inner Exel.
Exel walked over, approaching to sell who was opposite the mosque. There are sellers of fried foods, ice cream and some snacks.
Having been so full, Exel decided to buy ice cream.
"Sir, buy ice cream" said el
"Ohh please" replied the seller with a smile, but his heart deg deg an, fearing Exel using a foreign language.
Exel selects several flavor variants listed on a paper.
"You taste banana, blueberry same brown pack"
"Yes, for a minute" the seller took 3 packs of ice cream according to Exel's order.
after paying Exel walked to a wooden chair not far from there, and sat on top of it while enjoying ice cream.
Just sat down, not yet opened his glasses and hat, there was a little boy who approached e
Exel "Om, om" She called Exel as Om
Exel opened her glasses and then saw clearly the girl wearing the pink hijab "Om had bought banana-flavored ice cream yes" she asked
"I buy dong om, I want to eat it" The little boy reached out his hand holding the money to Exel.
Exel was shocked, what is also the habit of Indonesian people, his inner.
"You can buy another taste"
"But I want the taste of bananas om, om it is old, said the old Umi must defeat the young"
Exel looked at the girl, how could she be that brave to a stranger, even she said old exel. Trust me, Exel is very upset at this time.
"Yes, but you have to eat the ice cream here"
The boy was silent, rethinking the exel request "Okay well, but don't come near instead of muhrim" he said in a poignant tone.
Again Exel was surprised by the statement of the little boy, it could-can his little boy as he was very brave like this.
After exel gave her ice cream, the boy immediately unwrapped her and ate her.
"Nake?" el asked after he saw the boy licking his ice cream
"Enak om, thank you" the boy smiled sweetly at exel.
"Who's your name?"
"I'm Sabrina om, whose name?"
"Don't call me, call me Exel"
"Ohh. about Exel"
"Sir Exel" Exel said
"hehehehe. yes brother Exel" instead of his fear, the boy chuckles when Exel is a little angry.
"what grade are you in?"
"I'm 6th grade SD. Where is Exel's home? kok brina never saw om, oh wrong means Exel"
Exel smiled "Exel's brother's house is there, near the ball field"
"but Brina never saw it"
"Sister Exel went to school in America, so never came back here"
"So far away sister" Sabrina chuckled
Very funny him, quite not bosen-bosen very accompanied him.
"Yuk photo" Take Exel while taking out his useless phone.

Some shots fill the Exel gallery. Sabrina is her first friend here, so she has to perpetuate it, let alone remember their meeting was felt a little unique.
"Yes, Sabrina entered the mosque first yes sis" Pamitnya after finishing ice cream
"Ehh. kok brother in stayin anyway"
"let's go in too, brother, the studies will begin lo"
"Hmm, no. You're gone"
"yasudah, assalamualaikum"
"Waalaikumsalam, see you next time, Sabrina"
"Huh? what does that mean?" ask Sabrina plain
"Geez, didn't your teacher teach you English?"
"There are no English lessons here, brother"
"Sit down again, I'll teach you English"
Sabrina stared at the wooden chair she was sitting on, then looked at the mosque. He is currently interested in learning English.
Finally he sat down, Exel began to teach him English.
"Do you think Exel speaks Arabic?"
"No"
"Let's break even, I'll teach Exel Arabic"
now it was Sabrina's turn to teach Exel Arabic, Exel's tongue stiffly uttered it, making Sabrina keep laughing. But Exel likes to learn Arabic, so it does not feel the study is finished.
"Thank you, Sabrina"
"Yo're Welcome Brother"
Exel smiled, so quickly did he learn and remember her.
"i go in first, sister, I'll find me"
"Yes my rabbit"
"Don't call me a rabbit"
"As long as you can't say the right Rabbit, Exel will continue to call you the rabbit, hahah"
"then Exel's brother also did not call khomsatun"
"Ihh. ugly is her calling" Exel chuckled.
"Biarin, bye khomsatun, se you next time, assalamualaikum" Sabrina immediately passed away
"Waalaikumsalam" Exel was still smiling as he looked at that annoying little back.
"Why smile yourself, see what the hell sis" Alexa came, he found his twin brother staring at the phone with a smile
"Emang became a habit of Indonesians yes, taking care of people's affairs"
"Yeee, it's just angry." Alexa upset "Let's go home late in the afternoon"
Alexa who was upset walked first to the car, followed by Exel. But Exel did not go into the car, he still saw the gate of the mosque, I don't know what Exel wanted to see, but when Alexa continued to whine to go home, finally Exel came in and went home.
"why don't you just go home, brother?"
"if you knew the way home, I wouldn't wait for you to be like a madman"
"yes, I'm sorry" said Alexa because she felt Exel was right because she was waiting for him for two hours.
