In the afternoon of the pesantren, the presence of a boy who was a few months from the birth of Annisa, the daughter of Syifa and Fauzi, now Angkasa is playing carrying lollipops for a little friend who a few months ago had met somewhere.
Angkasa Rian saputra, son of Rian and Reva, was dropped by his father and mother in front of the boarding gate because his second child was undergoing surgery, making the little man clingak-clinguk in front of the gate.
"Astaghfirullah why didn't your father tell you to come in, Sa." Fauzi asked half-screaming and ran.
"Rush Om," replied Space.
"Oh, let's go inside." Fauzi said, making Angkasa nod obediently.

And this is where when Annisa just came home from TPA activities with her friends are now shocked and embarrassed because there are men who have met her and even played together.
"Mother take a snack for you guys. Annisa wait here." Syifa's words made Annisa nod then sit on the sofa before Space.
"So go to the garden first, son, you guys get along when you play." Fauzi said, not worried at all. In the room there is still Syifa and there is also no prohibition for small children to play together.
()(())))
Now there is only Space playing flat objects occasionally glancing at the existence of the black girl and Annisa so he muttered indistinctly in the hearing of Space.
"Annisa wants some candy?" Asked Angkasa made Annisa who had looked down immediately.
"Mauu," The spirit of four five yes sa!
"Come."
"Thank you." Annisa said directly opening the colorful prepen wrap. Space chuckled as Annisa's mouth was full.
Young children are like that, sometimes only with one familiar direct speech even though it starts from shy. The two were engrossed in telling stories until Syifa who came with a tray of snacks and also drank.
"God is so excited for you." Syifa's words made the two just look down timidly. Ahh, they're so funny.

The sun is almost drowned, while Syifa, Annisa and Angkasa are walking to the plantation in the boarding school, from here appears round orange light and orange sky that looks beautiful.
Syifa looked at Fauzi who focused on lifting the carrot harvest, while Annisa and Angkasa took the cassava leaves, either what was made by Angkasa who was busy with reddish purple stems.
"Anise?" Call the Space in between the pecking hands that he holds.
"Yes." Yeah." Annisa replies to see what her friend made.
"Your name is like the Qur'an.." Space speech that made Annisa glance towards Syifa who was smiling.
"Ummi said to Abi, Annisa means woman." His reply made Angkasa nod.
"Force?" Annisa's words made the man cleared his throat.
"Where were you born?" The plain question made Syifa and also Angkasa squint.
"It's like in the hospital, why?" Ask Space.
"I thought you were born in space because your name is Space." Annisa replied. Syifa who heard her son's speech just shook her head.
"I'll ask Daddy later." Plain Space Speech can make Syifa who heard holding back laughter, children do have their behavior.
"Sa, you're wearing this." Angkasa Speak presents a work of children from the stem of cassava leaves shaped like a necklace. Syifa sparkled but her hand did not reach the necklace.
"Beautiful, but Nisa can't wear a headscarf." Plain Annisa.
"Take off the hijab for a minute." Space said with a smile. Annisa looked at Syifa's mother who only smiled faintly, but the clever Nisa still remembered Abi's advice.
"Aurat kan Ummi?"
The Flashback
"Nissa doesn't want to wear a hijab." Said little Nisa who was sulking because the weather was very hot.
"Kan Nisa wants to go to the cottage with Abi, why not wear a hijab?" Syifa's question kept Annisa away from Syifa.
"The heat of the mother, the hijab that gives the mother is also long. Nisa doesn't want to." Woe to the boy.
"Assalamu'alaikum." Said a Fauzi who had just entered the house, he saw Annisa who ran so fast that she flew into the air as Fauzi lifted her up.
"Abii hahaha." Nisa yelled as she spun in the air, she laughed loosely in Fauzi's sling.
"Congratulations Abi not answered, later sin you know." Fauzi's smile made the little girl who was just 4 years old first pat on the forehead.
"Wa'alaikumussalam Abi hehee."
As Syifa approached with a tired face, Fauzi lowered Annisa from the sling and now Syifa kissed Fauzi's hand. "A big Fa?" Fauzi's question made Syifa nod.
"Annisa doesn't want to wear a hijab." Adu Syifa made a sticky netra that now turned to look down, he aligned his height with Annisa.
"Daughter Abi why not wear hijab hmm?
" Hot Abi." Nisa said. "Nisa is still a child." Fauzi chuckled at hearing that.
"But we're going to the pesantren." The persuasion of Annisa who is stubborn Syifa descendants only bowed, if talking pesantren all the people who are there using the hijab.
"But.."
"Anisa wants Abi to go to heaven or hell?" Fauzi's question made the little girl answer 'heaven' steadily.
"Then Abi's most beautiful daughter must learn from now on, let her maturity be Istiqomah. You Istiqomah?" Ask. Annisa tapped on the chin then smiled doubtfully.
"Stand firm." With a smile Fauzi tied up his daughter's thin hair that was getting longer.
Not only Annisa is proud but Syifa is too. He was grateful that the interaction between the two was very good.
"Would you help Abi get to Heaven?" Tanyanya took over the hijab brought by Syifa.
"Could that?" Annisa's question made Fauzi nod. "How?" Imbuh Nisa tilted her head looking more cute the boy.
Fauzi put on an instant headscarf full of haru, with a stock of bismillah educating her daughter.
"Closing the Aurat."
Syifa crouched down with Annisa's expression that only looked at the two alternately, she felt Abi's big hand stroke her head.
"Listen son, the decision is in Annisa. Son, you should know that one step women out of the house without closing the aurat. Then one step an Abi enters into hell." Soft Fauzi say.
Annisa hugged the Abi tightly, she did not want to drag the Abi into hell just because she felt hot in a world that was not comparable to hell. He shuddered in horror.
"Annisa wants Abi to go to Heaven." He pursed a hug. Syifa who saw Annisa always according to the same Fauzi was just grateful.
A second later Fauzi also pulled Syifa into his arms, and believe me this is more romantic than the teletabiss cartoons of Annis' spectacle.
Flashback.

"Aurat for?" Ask Space.
"Nissa wears hijab to let Abi Bunda and Nisa go to heaven." Nissa said.
"Do I have to wear a hijab?" Angkasa asked innocently to make Syifa glare. Astarghfirullah's.
"You are a man. Abi said men don't." Annisa's innocent speech makes Syifa smile proudly, well even though her son does not know betull what is a woman's duty and also limits. Understandably still children.
"Let's wear it in the room." Space said thrusting the object into Annisa.
"Waahh thank you." Annisa said sparkling and also smiled widely.

It was late at night time for Rian to pick up Angkasa because his second child had been waiting for by his wife. There's no way Rian would leave his son to the sugus lodge? his face will be cheered.
"Where is the sister of Space?" Tanya Fauzi makes Rian look down and shake his head, his second daughter suffers from asthma which makes her often short of breath until hospitalization at the age of a fairly toddler.
"Syapakillah for your daughter."
"Thank you Gus." The answer.
"Have you got a sister, Bund?" It asked Annisa to Syifa who replied a nod. "Who met Nisa first?" Ask again and answered a nod by Syifa.
"Yes dear." Syifa frowned when she saw her son pouting.
"Why?"
"She also wants a sister." Annisa's words made Fauzi and Syifa stiffen immediately.
They have been married for almost six years and they want another child. But the problem is Syifa has had a miscarriage to make Fauzi could not bear.
"Just be calm Nis you ask Abi your Mother.." Rian's words made Nissa immediately whine to them. Abaghfirullah!!
"Take it easy Gus, the effort again directly tempurr continues." Rian spoke again with watados.
The two children who heard and felt strange with that one word were bumbling.
"What is Abi? can I find nisa's sister, right? Does the sky know what a fighter means?" So poloss.
"Don't know maybe a shootout." Space said innocently guessing as well Annisa nodded.
"Yes nis you tell your Abi to make nemb...."
"Kellyann!!" Fauzi said cold and sharp. The unpleasant aura in sight was piercing into Rian's brain.
"Ee h Angkasa let's go home late." Rian said in Angkasa.
"Assalamu'alaikum."
"Wa'alaikumussalam."
Syifa and Fauzi escorted the two to the main courtyard of the pesantren. It will be awkward mood of both.
Fauzi junior otw.. Ehhh!!
