📢Adzan Isya stopped their conversation. After the Isya prayer they lay their bodies in the courtyard of the mosque. It didn't take them long to fall asleep because of the soy sauce. Two hours later the Imam woke up to mosquito disturbance.

"Godw..."

"There are so many mosquitoes.." muttered Imam in his heart while patting the mosquitoes milling on his face.

SUDDENLY the mosque marbot approached.

"Wear this mas.." said the marbot gave mosquito repellent oles.

"Oh yes, thank you sir.." welcome Imam.

"What do you have to do with Haji Nurali...?"

"It looks so familiar....?" the mosque's marbot asked curiously.

"We were acquaintances when we took the train to Bekasi." replied the Imam.

"Trus why sleep in the mosque...?"

"What is your purpose for this mosque...?" the mosque's marbot asked increasingly curious.

"Last noon we had a pickaxe on the train..."

"Some leads and our money are gone..."

"Forced us to spend the night in this mosque." explained Imam.

"Oh... Who are you looking for in Bekasi...?"

"We have a challenge from our coach" said Imam.

"Soccer coach...?" guess the mosque's marbot.

"Yes.right..."

"We were told to look for something called NURALIM." explained the Imam to the mosque's marbot.

"Oh.... JABRIK...!" the mosque's marbot.

"Is JABRIK...?" the Imam was confused.
