"Are you sure of your decision, son?" ask David to convince Nadia who is now sitting in front of him bowed.
"Related pakde." replied Nadia.
"Is your master or master wrong to make you decide to return to the pesantren?" ask David again.
"No sir, really. Pakde and Bude are very good, Nadia is very happy to be part of this family" replied Nadia.
"But why do you have to go back to Nad boarding school? Didn't your college just come? Your journey is still long." now it's Ummah Hani's turn to speak up to interrogate Nadia.
"As I said in the beginning. During this one year, I've been trying to adapt, but it feels like I'm more comfortable with my life in the pesantren" Nadia said.
"Since my father died, I have even been entrusted to live in pesantren, since I have not known the world of association outside, I have been introduced to pesantren first. And, after graduating Aliyah, I wanted to continue my studies in public places, but apparently, my soul felt less comfortable bude. I want to go back to my comfort zone in the pesantren" Nadia said.
"Ehm, yes yes. Pakde understand nduk, pakde and budemu just trying to be a good parent for you, according to the message of your parents. But, if that's what you want, sirde can't do much" replied Mr. David resigned.
"After Seem left because he was married, then followed by Opik who had to go home, now it is your turn to leave this house Nad?" suluh Ummah Hani.
"I'm sorry Nad bude." replied Nadia weakly.
"good. When are you planning to leave?" ask David sir.
"InshaaAllah, this afternoon sir." replied Nadia.
"Have you taken care of everything?" ask David sir.
"Already sirde. Nad has taken care of the mutation license from the campus." replied Nadia.
"alright. Then, allow your master and mentor who will take you to the boarding school. We must leave you to Mr. Kyai and Mr. Nyai, as well as other residents of the boarding school" said Mr. Daud.
"Really sir? With pleasure sirde." replied Nadia sparkling.

After working on the semester exam, Nadia began a spell to return to the boarding school. Remembering his past that never separated from the chanting of holy verses of the Qur'an at all times and always positive activities with his friends, making him miss the atmosphere of pesantren, he said, the place that made him grow into an adult today.
"You be careful, son, if later outside you feel uncomfortable, then never hesitate to come back here. Umi and all the citizens of the boarding house are very open to receive you back here." message Umm Husna, kyai Ilham's wife when Nadia say goodbye to continue her studies in college and join living with her pakde and bude.
"Umi.aku kangen" said Nadia while embracing the book that always accompanied her while at the house of Mr. David. The Quran was given by Umi when Nadia graduated Elementary School, and along with Iqro's graduation at that time.
Given how his heart could not fully accept the fact that Seem, the man who made him feel love, had now become the husband of his own best friend, Nadia chose to return to the pesantren, after completing the campus business in the second semester. And so, after the exam, Nadia decided to take care of her mutation. Nadia chose to continue her studies at a campus near the boarding school where she lives.
That morning, after a few hours drive to the boarding school where Nadia lives in East Java, they finally arrived at the location in the morning. They take the night time as a travel companion, because to avoid the hot and jammed weather.
Nadia along with her two surrogate parents were warmly welcomed by the pesantren family.
"Well Mr. David, we are very honored by the attitude of the father who is willing to deliver Nadia son back to this boarding school. Honestly, we are very happy for Nak Nadia coming back here, because we already consider Nak Nadia like our own daughter" Kyai Ilham said.
"Yes, mr. Kyai. It is also on Nadia's own will, she said, that she wants to return to her comfort zone, which is pesantren. Because since childhood, he grew and developed in the context of pesantren." answered Mr. David.
"Then, what about your college, son?" ask Kyai Ilham.
"InshaaAllah, Nadia will continue near here abah, Nadia has taken care of her transfer letter from campus." replied Nadia.
"All right then, son."
After talking for a long time, finally Mr. David and Ummah Hani came home, they were escorted by Key, an employee of the Hani ummah trust.
"You be careful, nduk. Take good care of yourself here." Ummah Hani's message.
"Sir Nadia, if Farah is missing, Farah can play here right?" ask Farah plain.
"Of course baby. If Farah misses, Farah can also make a Video Call as Nadia" said Nadia softly.
"Horay!" shouted Farah in excitement.
As they were about to return, Key turned his head back to Nadia and nodded as a sign of goodbye to the meek girl who some time ago made Key often work spirit. Nadia's nod and Nadia's smile make Key step back and ready to deliver his boss' family back home.
After the death of Mr. David's family, Nadia was led by Umi Husna to his resting place.
"Son, Umi deliberately prepared this room for you, considering you once said, that you really like living in a dorm with the students. But, Umi prepared a special room for you, so you feel comfortable" said Umi Husna.
"MaasyaaAllah umi, there should be no need to overdo it like this" said Nadia feeling unwell.
"It's easy my dear, Umi and the boarding house are very happy you are back here." said Umi Husna.
"Yes, now, you immediately take a bath, must be sultry, after traveling far." Umi Husna ordered Nadia.
"Good umi." replied Nadia according to.
After the departure of Umi Husna, Nadia immediately cleaned herself up and then, after that Nadia was about to go back to the soup kitchen to find activities before she taught and began to study again.
As Nadia walked in the corridor towards the kitchen, Nadia suddenly accidentally hit someone, because the netra Nadia was busy seeing the state of the boarding school she had left for one year, as she imagined, as she had been, that he was still a santri at some point that became his favorite place.
Bugh
"Eh, sorry." said Nadia while looking down. He did not dare to stare at the figure of the man he had hit.
"Nadia?" greet someone who made Nadia's heart shortened, because the voice was familiar to Nadia.
