Rafael sat in the back seat. He looked at the glass of the bus. Given Alina, the feeling of longing is so big when it was only a matter of hours. Maybe tonight she won't sleep seeing Alina sleeping next to her. His daydream was broken when the bus pulled all the passengers down. Rafael got out of the seat of the bus he was sitting on. He was walking about to get off the new bus a few steps a crying mother. Rafael tried to ask the mother.
"Mom what's wrong? why are you crying?" rafael asked standing beside the mother.
"My bag is a pickpocket, son, even though I want to visit my son in the city" said the mother.
"Do you have any money other than the one in your bag?" ask Rafael.
"No, all of your money is in the bag hik..hik...hik.." said the mother.
Rafael has pity on that mother. He took the money and gave it to the mother.
"Thank you son" said the mother received the money given by Rafael.
"Sama-sama Ma'am" said Rafael.
"May Allah.." said the mother to pray but Rafael's hand stopped her.
"Please pray for my sister" Rafael told the mother.
"Who's your sister's name?" ask That Mother.
"Alina" said Rafael.
"May Allah always give Alina health and salvation, amen" said the mother.
"Then I say goodbye, I am careful on the road" said Rafael.
"Yes, son" said the mother.
Rafael walked out of the bus. He walked around carrying a backpack on his back and carried the proposal in his hand. He entered one by one the companies he met. No one wants to be a donor.
"My money is just enough to get home. I better walk healthier" said Rafael.
Rafael walked by the side of the road. It had been half a day he went back and forth to enter the company but there had been no results. Raphael bought a loaf of bread to prop up his stomach. When he wanted to eat it, Rafael could not bear to see a newspaper boy looking at him. Raphael cut the bread into two parts. He gave the bread to the little boy.
"Thank you brother" said the boy.
"Together, let's eat" said Rafael.
The little boy nodded. They ate the bread together. After resting for a meal, Rafael walked back. He went into a company. After waiting two hours Rafael was allowed to enter the CEO's room of the company.
"Good day" Rafael said as he entered the room.
"Siang" said Nurdin, CEO of the company.
"Sit down" said Nurdin.
Rafael sat in the front seat of Nurdin's desk. He began to tell her the intention of his arrival to the company. Rafael gave a proposal to fund the construction of the mosque to Nurdin. Nurdin read it.
"Rice! today there are many such models, at the very end of which are bagged. Why do you beg, bring the name of the mosque again" said Nurdin.
"Sorry boss, I'm not begging. This is indeed true for the fundraising of mosque construction" Rafael said.
"You think I'm going to believe it, take it again" Nurdin said, pitching the proposal to Rafael.
Raphael took back the proposal that fell on his lap.
"If the Boss doesn't like me I won't force it. Because helping it must be sincere" said Rafael.
"You are a Muslim but make Muslims ashamed by asking for something like this. As if Muslims are poor to be unable to build a mosque" Nurdin said.
"I'm sorry if I'm embarrassing Muslims. But I am not a Muslim. I am a Christian, I cannot bear to see the mosque of God's house about to collapse, thanks for the time" said Rafael.
Without further ado Rafael came out of the room. Nurdin immediately felt slapped with Rafael's words.
"He is a Christian but cares about the house of God. Why don't I give him a chance. Not everyone is asking for it's a fraud" Nurdin said.

"The boss has not cried the song already want to abis, do you want to play again?" ask Secretary Tono who is squatting near the closet playing religious songs on DVD.
"Turn again nanggung bapernya" said Nurdin.
"Yaudah Boss, would you like a fan not to let the appreciation be maximum?" ask Secretary Tono.
"Yes" said Nurdin.

Rafael walked to the side of the road with a proposal. He's not discouraged. Although many companies have rejected his proposal, Rafael believes there will be someone whose heart is tapped to contribute to the fund of mosque construction. Rafael kept going until the night changed. He was tired, wanted to find an inn but had no money other than money for the cost of returning home. Finally, he rested in a large mosque.
"Maybe I sleep here, the place is full of tranquility and peace. This house of God belongs to everyone" Rafael said.
Rafael lay on the terrace of the mosque, he was so tired that he fell asleep.
"Nak woke up...wake up son.." said Leo called Rafael who was sleeping on the terrace of the mosque.
Rafael awakens and sees a grandfather in front of him. He sat down immediately.
"Yes kek, sorry I took a rest in this mosque" said Rafael.
"Not that, why are you sleeping in the mosque? are you a traveler?" ask Leo.
"I am from the city of B, I just happened to visit one day in the city of A. Because I did not have enough money to rent an inn, I decided to rest on the terrace of this mosque" Rafael said.
"Then come to my house, son" said Leo.
"What's not a troublesome cake?" ask Rafael.
"No, come" said Leo.
Rafael nodded. He went with Leo into his car. In the car Rafael noticed Leo's car. He was sure that grandfather was not an indiscriminate person. The car is so fancy.
Arrive at Leo's mansion. Rafael was amazed to see such a large and magnificent house. It was like seeing a palace. Leo took Rafael into his house.
He took Rafael to the dining room. At the dining table there are various foods. As if the arrival of Rafael was deliberately entertained by the owner of the house. Rafael sat down with Leo in the dining room.
"Let's go, kid, let's eat" said Leo to take Rafael to eat with him.
"Good cake" said Rafael.
Rafael begins eating with Leo. Actually that night was 11 p.m. Even Zara was asleep. But Leo asked Mba Ida to warm up the dish for dinner. Although Leo had already eaten but he wanted to glorify his guest by eating with him. Rafael is lucky to meet a good guy like Leo. Even he doesn't know his name yet but Leo has already taken him to his house and even fed him. There aren't many people like Leo inner Rafael. His face was peaceful and made a cold look at him. He said he was polite and friendly.
After eating Leo escorted Rafael to the guest room.
"Well son, stay here tonight" said Leo.
"Once again I say thank you cake" said Rafael.
"Together" said Leo.
Raphael entered his room. He cleaned his body to the toilet to take a shower. He hasn't bathed all day, even his clothes are soaked in sweat. Understand Rafael walk all day.
Finished bathing Rafael lay in bed. He felt so comfortable lying in that soft bed. She remembered her sister Alina.
"If Alina can also sleep in this soft bed for sure she will be happy, hopefully in the future I can buy a soft bed for Alina" said Rafael.
"Who is that grandpa?" Rafael does not know Leo's name. His mind was filled with questions.
Eventually, he fell asleep because he was tired.
