All the inhabitants of the building turned their heads towards Ashifa who was running towards Abinya.

Asyifa hugged Abinya tightly, as well as Abi who missed her only daughter so much.

"Well, wow, apparently someone is starting to feel at home here" Abian quipped making Asyifa release a hug from Abinya.

"Must be at home for a good future" Asyifa said proudly. "I'm a brave girl pesantren myself, far from her parents" Asyifa quipped her brother.

"Surely here you have an encouragement well, so you feel at home" guessed Abian.

"Punya dong" replied Asyifa proudly.

"Any deck ?" asked the curious Abian "Ustaz here what santri ?" ask Abian Again.

"Who else if not Ummah, Abi , and of course Kak Shela" replied Asyifa casually.

"Sir Abaian is not called ?" abian Protest.

"Because sister is not included, that time does not know". ketus Asyifa.

"Already - already, ashamed of Kyai and Umi" said Abi made Asyifa immediately cover her mouth with both hands.

"Sorry Umi and Pak Kyai they have always been" said Ummah who was not feeling well.

"Gak papa, his name is also sister brother, my son also likes it ko" replied Umi sambik smiling.

Asyifa gave up longing with her family in a special multipurpose room for santri while in the family.

Ummah opened a bushel that contained rice, sweet sour chicken and capcay.all that food to the tribe of Asyifa, Asyifa, there Asyifa ate greedily even though he had eaten but somehow after seeing the food brought Ummah his stomach back rumbling.

"Son, Umi can come in ?" asked Umi in front of Bani's room.

"Enter Umi is not in the key ko" jawan Bani from inside his room.

Umi went into her room, looking at her bachelor son sitting on a mattress with random hair - random.

"You sick ?" ask Umi.

"I'm fine - Umi" .

"But why didn't you leave the room ? is there a problem ?" guess Umi.

"Yes but Bani has overcome ko, Bani just wants to rest alone" replied Bani who did not want Uminya sad.

"There will be a lunch at home with Abah's friend, Umi hopes you can participate in the event" Umi told Bani.

"But Abah and Umi are not planning anything ?" ask Bani full of search.

"It's just a regular lunch, because she was just coincidentally coming here to visit her son" Umi replied with a smile.

Umi comes out of her room to prepare a lunch that Bi Tuti helps with. Bani came out of her room and entered her sister's room.

"Son't if you go in it knock on the door first" Fariz protested.

"What's up ?" ask Fariz curiously.

"So Umi said that later in the afternoon there was a lunch at home with Abi's friend" said Bani.

"Yes know, Umi has told me, do not geer it's regular lunch, if they want to betroth his son brother just calm down, if the brother nolak Fariz will want to ko in matein" said Fariz excitedly made Bani frown, he was confused why his sister was so excited if in a match.

"Why are you so excited to get married ?" ask Bani curious.

"Because the choice of Abah and Umi will not be wrong, and I also do not want to disappoint Abah and Umi" said Fariz.

Bani immediately pensive to hear the words of Fariz because it was the same as insinuating himself.already many times he rejected the woman who was always betrothed by his family, not without reason Bani refused.

Bani returned to his room, in his room he was pensive, his age was enough to get married, and even his friends had also many who carried children. according to Bani when he was betrothed to a woman, he was married, he always prayed in the way of Istikharoh prayer but every woman was not able to shake his heart or even imagined in his mind.

Lama Bani was pensive in his room asking for instructions so that he could quickly meet his soul mate, so it did not feel Adzan dzuhur had reverberated. Bani immediately took her sarong and kokonya and went to surau to perform congregational prayers with santri.

Bagitu also with the Asyifa family who immediately prepared to follow the dzuhur prayer. after finishing the prayer dzuhur Ashifa family invited to lunch at Umi's house.

"I'm sorry Syifa can't come" Asyifa said with fear.

"Why baby?" ask Umi gently.

"Syifa ate with the other santri alone, Syifa did not feel good with other santri" replied Asyifa.

"No papa son, another santri if in the family even there are those who get brought out the boarding school" said Umi who understood the concern of Asyifa.

Finally Asyifa wanted to come to Umi's house, Asyifa walked the back alone so that someone saw Asyifa entering the yard of Umi's house.

"Look at the new santri, he has dared to enter the Umi house" said someone padan temennya.

"But he went in with his family know do not - do not "said the minister.

"don't - don't what ?" ask her questions curious.

" yes do not - do not want Syifa in a match with ustaz Bani" said the minister.

"No way, Syifa is still a boy, so it doesn't fit with ustaz Bani" said someone upset.

"Tell me not know, how if they are paired" said the minister.

"Don't think until then, let's go later we get caught" said the person with an annoyed feeling.

Asyifa monitored the entire room in Umi's house, which was simple but beautiful in view. Asyifa sat in the living room with her family, then Umi perhi to the kitchen to prepare for lunch.Ummah initiator to help Umi in the kitchen, and, Ummah invites Ashifa but when Shela will come to the kitchen directly in prevent Ummah with the reason of fear to the capean.
