" loh bang lo not home yet? " ask Doni who saw Aldo just walking past his desk.
Aldo who felt talked to by Doni stopped his steps, he then turned towards the rainbow table that had seemed empty, then looked at Doni again.
" yes this also just want to go home, is the rainbow already home or where? " ask Aldo.
From earlier when he walked towards the outside he continued to pay attention to the Rainbow work table that was empty at this time, when he went to the toilet the rainbow was still sitting in its place.
" go home bang, I think Rainbow back the same lo because you are not at the table lase " replied Doni.
He had really thought if Rainbow would come home with Aldo so he did not ask at length to Rainbow earlier when his friend said goodbye to go home to him.
" i didn't go to the toilet" Aldo said.
Though Aldo was going to take Rainbow home together because according to Pelangi's story this morning his motorbike was leaking tires and was in the workshop that's why this morning he arrived late.
" waduh, mean the child back up gojek dong, sian very him, if you know just let me go back with me deh" said Doni himself.
Hearing the words of Doni who spoke to himself he just silently looked at Doni without saying anything, he thought the Rainbow should come home with him this time and I don't know where he is now.
He began to snort his rough breath while looking out of his office, he prayed in his heart that the Rainbow had now reached his home safely.
" lo it's not finished yet? " ask Aldo while pointing at Doni's laptop.
Doni's eyes were fixed on his laptop to hear Aldo's question, the task was almost done soon, he just had to check it out
" oh this is also briefly finished, just checked aja bang" replied Doni.
" emmm, that's " said Aldo while grumbling his head, "that's what I am first? " continued Aldo pamit.
" please bang" said Doni.
Without further ado Aldo immediately turned his body and walked away from Doni's desk to the outside. Adzan also said Aldo quickly turned on his vehicle away from the parking lot in order to stop by praying to the mosque first.
Doni who just finished checking his duties immediately closed his laptop and tidied up his work desk, he also rushed because he heard the adzan began to roar.
He started carrying his backpack and walked outside, saw the clock in his hand while walking quickly towards the parking lot, there was still time he thought to pray congregation in the mosque.

Elsewhere
After completing the prayer Zarow congregation felt like getting something, he felt calm and peaceful, for the first time again he performed his prayer service.
Mr. Handoko was really excited to see his master was also in the row right behind him during the congregation prayer, he was grateful that finally his master opened the door of repentance also at this time.
He smiled looking at the rainbow, he really wanted to say many thanks to Pelangi and her family who had opened the heart of young master Zarownya to perform his prayer.
After finishing their prayer services immediately went out towards the living room, except Rainbow who will enter the room to put the face he was wearing earlier.
When going into his room he saw Mr. Handoko smiling at him, seeing Mr. Handoko smiling he returned the smile while nodding his head.
Zarow who had been sitting in the guest room with Mr. Abdullah and Mr. Handoko could only be silent while looking at the rainbow that entered his room.
" sir, it's time for me to go home" Zarow told Abdullah, "it's too late" he continued, looking at the clock in his hand.
" oh yes please " said sir Abdullah replied.
Zarow & Pak Handoko then stood up to say goodbye, Zarow slightly raised his head to look at the rainbow room that did not open from now on.
Mr. Abdullah turned his head towards where the eyes of young master Zarow were, it turned out that young master Zarow looked towards the Rainbow room, maybe the Rainbow was changing clothes thought Mr. Abdullah.
" that's Rainbow like changing clothes so long out, don't wait Rainbow first son? " it was clear, Abdullah asked.
Hearing the words of Mr. Abdullah Zarow just nodded his head understand, in fact he will say thank you to Rainbow before he came home for teaching him about the stages of ablution & prayer earlier.
Thanks to Rainbow he does not look stupid in front of the two Rainbow parents, he can do congregational prayers well & solemn thanks to the direction of Rainbow.
" no need sir, yes sir said "said Zarow.
Did not want to wait long Zarow then out of the house of Mr. Abdullah after greeting Mr. Abdullah and say goodbye to him without waiting for the rainbow out of his room.
" let's sir, Assalamallaikum "greetings Mr. Handoko.
Mr. Handoko said his greetings after saying goodbye to Mr. Abdullah, while greeting his young master looking towards him stunned.
Zarow who heard Mr. Handoko say a greeting suddenly fell silent, he was confused whether he should say the same greeting as Mr. Handoko said.
His mouth suddenly seemed locked, his tongue felt stiff, very heavy to say the greeting that he had never said before.
" assa.la.mu.allaikum, assala.muallaikum, assallamoallaikum" said Zarow in repeated hearts.
" assalamallaikum" said Zarow then issued a greeting with a smile.
" waallaikumsalam" replied Abdullah.
Zarow then turned towards the car whose door had been opened by Mr. Handoko as usual, after he entered Handoko and entered the car right in the steering chair.
Mr. Handoko was quite surprised that his young master could say the unusual greetings he did before when he was leaving or going home, a very drastic change he thought.
The rainbow peeked out from behind his door as if it was unexpected that young master Zarow had just said his greetings as he bid farewell to his father. Though usually young master Zarow never say hello when coming or going from his house.
In the car that had walked away from the house, Mr. Abdullah Zarow turned to see Mr. Abdullah who was still standing in front of his house to pay attention to the departure of the car driven by young master Zarow.
He recalled how he and the Rainbow family & Mr. Handoko performed the congregational prayer earlier, how very happy he was to shed his tears.
" sir " said Zarow
Mr. Handoko looked at the young master Zarow who had just called his name from the direction of the glass above him.
" have you been looking for someone to teach me to teach & pray yet sir? " ask Zarow to make sure.
Previously he had ordered Mr. Handoko to find someone who understands religion to teach himself again, he will start to study religion again.
" it's sir, maybe tomorrow night sir has started to come for ngajarin" said Mr. Handoko.
" okay, but this really understands religion, right? " ask Zarow again to make sure.
He did not want to study his religion wrongly, he really wanted to study his religion seriously for the provision of his life in the future.
" sayallah young master, this sir should know very well about religion because sir ustadnya is the best graduate of pesantren darul ulum, hafiz quran also " replied Mr. Handoko.
Mr. Handoko knows that his young master now really wants to learn his religion again so that Mr. Handoko does not look for people who are careless and careless for his young master.
" hafiz quran what does it mean sir? " ask Zarow
" hafiz quran is the master's Quran memorizer" replied Mr. Handoko.
Mr. Handoko saw his young master only nodding in understanding what he was saying.
" thank you sir "say Zarow sincerely.
Mr. Handoko again looked at the rearview mirror back to see his young master Zarow, only this time his young master's speech sounded very sincere to make himself touched.
" both young masters, I am quite happy to be able to help the young master, let alone for good things like this" Handoko said.
Zarow smiled at the words of Mr. Handoko, all this time he was completely blind to religion, even he did not know how to be grateful for what he got.
He just assumed if he pleased himself and his family by enjoying the results he got was enough, without thinking actually there is still something he needs to worship to say thank you for all the favors he has received.
" sir " said Zarow again calling the name of Mr. Handoko.
" yes sir " answered Mr. Handoko briefly.
Again Mr. Handoko looked from the rearview mirror towards young master Zarow who was still staring at him while continuing to drive his car.
" sir, are you sure my worship will be accepted by God later? " ask Zarow.
" god will accept worship whoever his people are sir " replied Mr. Handoko.
" even though I have committed many sins? " ask Zarow again.
Mr. Handoko smiled at Zarow's question who felt unsure if his repentance this time would not be accepted by God, even though God is a god who is all-loving, all-loving, all-loving.
" god is all-forgiving master, even though his people always wronged him, all-loving, all-loving, all-loving God, he will always embrace his people who try to get close to him" Handoko explained.
" how can I get close to God, sir? " ask Zarow again.
" in the way of worship of the master "the answer is short.
Actually, there are many questions that he needs to ask about religion because he is not satisfied with the answers given by Mr. Handoko, although what Handoko explained is quite clear.
" tomorrow you ask everything you want to ask the same sir justad aja master so that it is clearer, if I can usually explain what I know aja sir" said Mr. Handoko.
Seeing his young master clearly there are still many questions that he really wants to ask again, as an ordinary Muslim of course Handoko can only answer the question of young master Zarow as he understands.
Zarow nodded at Handoko's words, maybe it's better that he asked directly to the people who really understand the religion he thought so that he would get satisfaction in every question.
*********
The Rainbow house.
After Zarow's departure a few tens of minutes ago Rainbow went to the kitchen to help his mother prepare some snacks to welcome the Zarow family to the evening.
" can anyone help Rainbow, ma'am? " ask Rainbow.
" can, that's it please you take care of your chicken opor, enter the meal, later do not forget the fried onion slices enter ya "my mother replied.
With a swift rainbow facing towards the front of the stove and put the coconut milk squeeze into the chicken opor made by his mother while stirring. Rainbows are used to helping his mother in the kitchen so that he is not awkward when in the kitchen to help his mother.
" are you really ready to give an answer tonight? " ask mom.
Bu Melati continued to look towards the rainbow that focused in front of the chicken opor who was still on the burning stove. For a few days Rainbow looked worried even a few times Rainbow asked her opinion.
Hearing his mother's question Rainbow then turned his head, some days Rainbow often complained to his mother about Zarow's proposal, but now he was sure of the answer he would give tonight.
" sayallah ma'am, Rainbow is ready to give an answer, anyways if long afraid of people even disappointed with Rainbow, in the thought of Rainbow too hung the answer, because it has been too long " rainbow at length.
Previously he had only asked the Zarow family for a few days to consider the proposal and it was time for him to give an answer.
" thank God if you are ready to give an answer, hopefully your answer this time is really right yes son" said Ms. Melati with a smile.
Ms. Melati is grateful that her son is really ready to give an answer to the Zarow family about his proposal a moment ago, she hopes that whatever her son's decision will be the best for her son.
He also hopes that whatever the decision of the Rainbow later the Zarow family will also receive well even though it is not in accordance with their expectations.
The rainbow let out its rough breath of relief while smiling, it finally gained its current confidence to accept the proposal from the Zarow family.
He hopes that in the future his life with Zarow after marriage will be better and Zarow will be a good priest.
Rainbow wishes young master Zarow could learn religion someday and equally seek a better divine riddho than ever before.
After witnessing for the first time right in front of him, Zarow did his prayer, Pelangi hopes Zarow will get his guidance.
Although Zarow previously said that he had never performed his prayer, this time Rainbow witnessed with his own eyes Zarow gathered and prostrated himself to perform congregational prayers together earlier.
" god guide him whom the servant chooses to be a servant priest, lead him to be close to you and make him a good priest for the servant and the children of the future servant, make us always in your pleasure to continue to carry out all your commands and avoid your prohibition" said Rainbow in his heart.
