All students prepare to go to the mosque to perform Friday prayers. In this pesantrenku women are also ordered to perform Friday prayers so that women can listen to Friday sermons delivered by the sheikh in the mosque. In addition, there is no specific proposition that prohibits Muslim women to run it.


Prophet Muhammad SAW in the Hadith Muslim History said, "Friday prayers are obligatory for every Muslim except the four classes; servants of distress, women, children, and the sick."


In some Muslim-majority countries such as the Middle East, some mosques do provide special room facilities for women who want to perform Friday prayers. For example; the Nabawi Mosque, Al-Azhar Mosque and the Grand Mosque.


Imam al-Nawasi in al-Majmu' Syahr al-Muhadzdzab called the Muslimah facilitated in performing Friday prayers and performing them, so the prayers are considered valid as the prayers of men. They do not need to repeat the Dhuhur prayer.


"Bright toilet rame, huh, Dha?" I passed Aidha in the corridor from the toilet.


"Buanget, Cell. It's a spit."


"But wait for me to go to the mosque, Dha."


"Yes, bring it." Aidha was still busy tidying up her headscarf while walking towards the classroom.


How the toilet does not queue long, almost every santri nisa who berwudu definitely while washing your face with soap washing each face. Because for us this will make us fresh when going to the mosque later, different from santri rijal which for him berwudu alone is enough, but still there are still many santri rijal or nisa who fell asleep during the Friday sermon.


I finally finished and returned to class. While in the corridor, I accidentally saw Vira coming out of her class. I remember what Andra said a few days ago.


I lied to him that day. I lied if I didn't like it. How can I be honest with him that I like him, even though my love for the moment is only a taste of like and not love, it is still a shame to be known by the person. Especially considering that she is now dating Vira, where might I say that I like Andra. There could be a war between me and Vira.


However, what I was wondering, what was the meaning of Andra's sentence before she left. It was that word that still kept going around in my brain to this day.


"Well, you don't like me, do you? I am very happy if you like me. I'm gonna tell Mom about this tomorrow."


Andra's words kept on making me curious. Why would he tell Umi Devi about this?


"Hi, Vir." I greeted Vira as she passed in front of me.


Vira turned her head with a friendly smile and patted my shoulder. It seems like Vira's nature to me has returned to what it used to be.

Andra went down the corridor to look for her mother's whereabouts on the 1st floor of the MTs dormitory with Vira beside her.


"okay." Vira immediately followed Andra with a bit of nervousness.


"Assalamallaikum, Ma'am," he said while kissing Mother Devi's hand followed by Vira.


"Wa'allaikumsalam. Who is this, Ndra? It's so pretty."


"I'm Vira, Mom." Vira smiled awkwardly.


"Yes, Mom. This is Vira, Temen Andra. He's David's sister, Mom."


In front of your mother, I see you doang, yes, Dra, inner Vira.


Mom looks surprised. "David's sister?"


Andra nodded.


Andra noticed her mother who was looking around after that.


I dyed that, like I thought Seli would come along. But, I also can't possibly discuss Seli right now. I don't want Vira to be hurt anymore, Andra thought.


"What time is your mom, Mom?" ask Andra.


"So before Friday prayers. Come on get eaten, Mom before you come here eat." Devi's mother prepares food for Andra and Vira.


"Trainy why haven't you come, Mom? It's usually the clerest if you come."


Andra actually did not want her parents to visit often, even now she has 12th grade. It is impossible for parents to visit often. The reason Ibu Devi is often here is because Fatih-sister Andra who entered the boarding school this year in 7th grade, he was not used to pesantren food so he still often wanted his mother to come to bring food.


"Assalamallaikum, ma'am." Fatih came with a backpack on her back and shoes that she had in her left hand.


"Old tumben, Tih."


"Damate, Bang. Out of the mosque really ngantri if abis jum'atan gini."


"Who, Bang?" Fatih pointed at Vira with her chin.


"This is Temen Abang. You call him Brother Vira, yes."


Devi's mother realized that Vira had not touched her food. "Eh, why haven't you eaten yet, neng Vira? Ayok cobain Mommy's cooking makes addictive you know."


Vira could only smile since then. He's awkward with Andra's family. But he who whines asks to come with Andra. Actually when Vira supports Seli to come too that day just in front of Seli. After Seli leaves, he asks Andra not to force Seli.


Andra herself was confused by Vira's attitude. He always complains of jealousy with Seli, but Vira is like supporting Andra with Seli every in front of Seli. Andra has not been able to understand the nature and character of this Vira.
