That morning, Zian was already preparing to go to campus. Likewise with Mr. Leo who wants to go to his office. Sitting completely in the dining room was Juan and Aunt Retno were invited to sit together, breakfast at that time. Aunt Retno of course became awkward to eat with her employer. Aunty Retno did not dare to touch the food that had been served on the table. It was early this morning, Juan was up ahead of Aunt Retno and of course Zian who had woken up in his room. Miss Juan made breakfast together. Just nasi uduk or savory rice with fried chicken and beef nuggets and plus sambal shrimp make breakfast menu that morning look luxurious. Zian looked ravenous eating breakfast that morning.
"Aunt Retno, let's go get the rice and the chicken! This is my mom's most delicious dish!" said Zian while enjoying fried chicken with chocolate kan sambal. Mami Juan took a bowl of sambal that was already near Zian and kept her away from Zian. Zian who saw his mother distanced his favorite sambal it could only grimace. Aunt Retno finally shyly began to take the nasi uduk and fried chicken made by her employer.
"It's still too early, don't eat too much spicy!" ban mami Juan. Zian likes sambal the most and forgets himself if there is already his favorite sauce. Especially the sambal.
Mami Juan looked at her husband, Mr. Leo who had not spoken about the serious things about last night that were discussed by mami and papi Zian. Mami Juan gave the code to Mr. Leo to immediately discuss the problem yesterday. A problem for Juan and Leo's mom is important but very sensitive.
"Looks, papi has to go to the office first! Zian, later in the afternoon try to get home early well, son! Don't stop by or play with your friends or friends. Papi wants to talk to you seriously. Okay?" mr. Leo said he finally undoes his intention to ask and talk about the serious matter with Zian. Mami Juan widened her eyes. Actually, Juan's mom can't wait to talk about everything with her daughter. But because her husband's decision to postpone it later in the afternoon, inevitably finally Juan's mother came along what her husband said.
"Hem, afternoon well pi? How about a night, pi! Zian had to go to where Mariah was doing college assignments together, because tomorrow his duties had been collected. How, pi!" sahut Zian's.
"Okay, alright!" mr. Leo finally said.
"Yes already! Do you want to drive a papi or ride your own motorbike?" haggar Mr. Leo.
"Hem, go alone pi! Let Zian take the bike to campus" said Zian.
"Okay, then! Papi's leaving first!" said Mr. Leo. Ms. Juan immediately stood up and shook hands with her husband.
"Be careful on the road, papi!" mami Juan.
"Mami papi, Zian also left for college," said Zian along with his mami papi.
Papi Leo and Zian are out of the house. Now leaves Aunt Retno and also Juan's mother who is still in the dining room.
"Aunt Retno! Actually we wanted to talk about something important with Aunt Retno too. But since Mr. Leo is putting it off tonight, you'll do it!" said Juan. Aunt Retno took her mistress seriously.
"What's up, madam?" sahut Aunt Retno.
"That's it, about Zian. Is it true that Zian has converted to religion like the religion that Aunt. If indeed Zian had decided and believed his choice, I and Mr. Leo would no longer forbid it" explained Juan's mother.
"Alhamdulillah, praise be to Allah, the Lord of the Worlds," said Aunt Retno was pleased and relieved to hear the words of her mistress.
On campus.
Zian searches for Mariah's whereabouts. Of course Zian will tell a long story about the problems that Zian is facing. The presumption and suspicion of Zian from his papi mami about him who had been caught doing dawn prayer at that time. Indeed after that mami papi no longer discuss her. But Zian had received a sentence not to take a vacation abroad because his papi mami was disappointed with Zian because Zian had secretly believed in one of the religions in this country.
Zian now entered the room where the room would later be used for his morning lecture in the course that Zian took. In the room still did not find the figure of the girl Zian was looking for was Mariah. Zian chose to sit in the far right corner of the back. In front of him was Fauzi who was also a close friend of Zian's.
"Tumben Mariah hasn't seen her stuff nose yet, yeah!" said Zian.
"Maybe! Hopefully Mariah is in good health and nothing is lacking" Zian said.
"Amijin!" sahut Fauzi's. But suddenly the sound of a call with a shrill voice sounded from the entrance of the room.
"Zian!! The fauzi! Hay... who are you today?" mariah shouted in her cherry style. Two eyeballs Zian and Fauzi were directly fixed on the girl with green pasmina on her head.
Mariah is beautiful, and also a cheerful type of girl. Although wearing a modern hijab pasmina style is contemporary, but that does not mean Mariah does not know the adab or behavior of a Muslimah.
Mariah approaches her close friends Zian and Fauzi. There was an empty bench deliberately prepared by Fauzi. If any of his friends want to occupy it, Fauzi will say that the bench is already occupied. They think the boarding room?
"What did you bring Mariah?" asked Fauzi who looked at the food box and then picked it up and distributed to Zian and Fauzi respectively.
"It's my mother's birthday, say. Oh yes, pray my mother is always healthy wal afiat, cheap fortune and always be a mother and wife who sholeh," said Mariah.
"Aamijin! Thank you very much Mariah! I think you're late because of whatever, it turns out your mother is having a birthday today. So surely you since dawn are very bothered to make this box rice well?" said Zian. Mariah just smiled.
"Really! You've been looking for me since? What's up?" sahut Mariah's.
"Yes, but later after this course is finished while eating rice box," said Zian. Fauzi listened and began to wonder what Zian would talk about.
Fauzi knew that Zian had converted. At that time with Mariah and Fauzi, Zian was introduced to Pak kyai and in the great mosque that some scholars have confirmed and witnessed that Zian made two sentences of the creed.
The morning lecture immediately began when a lecturer had entered the room. Zian, Fauzi and Mariah took the course seriously without any more jokes.

After the end of the morning lecture, Fauzi, Zian and Mariah sat on a park bench on her faculty campus. The third while enjoying the rice box that was brought by Mariah. The three ate at the campus park. After enjoying his meal the three washed their hands and began to sit back in the park while waiting for their second lecture hour that they would take.
"So mami papi you already know, Zian? Have you chosen and embraced a religion like ours?" ask Mariah. Zian nodded his head.
"Really! Their first reaction was angry. But after that there was no discussion. I can still pray in my room. Even though my room has been locked. But I'm sure they would have known that I kept insisting on my decision" Zian said.
"But tonight I want to talk to me. I think tonight's gonna happen. This was my decision anyway. If my mommy is angry, I'm ready to face everything. Even if I was kicked out of the house as a disobedient child, I would have accepted it" Zian said with all his presumptions. Mariah rubbed Zian's shoulders.
"My door is wide open to you, Zian! If you are really kicked out of your parents' second home" Mariah said at last.
"My house too, Say! You can stay in my house! Especially in my house at this time the housekeeper again returned home," said Fauzi. Zian and Mariah pinched Fauzi's cheek in agitation. The three laughed after her. Their conversation will be full of excitement if they are compact and loving each other. Zian will feel together with his own brother when he was with Fauzi with Mariah.
