The Preferred Priest Candidate

About Nana

Nalal Muna is Nana's full name. Seventeen-year-old girl who just received a graduation letter from High School in one of the cities in Lampung province.

He uses the hijab as his identity. Because what he knows, it is his duty as a Muslim. Another basic reason is, she feels beautiful when wearing a hijab on her head. While the long clothes that he wears in everyday life, provide protection to his white skin from sunburn.

But the truth is Nana is beautiful not only because of hijab. Wide eyes are decorated with lentic eyelashes and have thick lips in natural red without a touch of lipstick. It is two parts that are able to describe a true beauty, and also become the charm of its own from a girl named Nana.

He was the youngest of five children. The number of children is pretty fantastic for the current generation. And Nana was very lucky, being the only daughter in her family. Surrounded by four siblings, Nana grew up to be a tomboyish girl in her childhood.

From childhood he got everything he wanted, not because of being a spoiled child but because he was spoiled. Love is so abundant He got, especially from the figure of the Father. The old coveted the presence of a daughter to be an oasis in his family

" Dek, if nerusin his Junior High School in Lampung where mas Rahmat how?" The question that Sholeh asked Nana before going to Lampung.

At that time Nana just graduated from Primary School in her hometown. He had never been separated for long with his parents. But innocently Nana agreed to Sholeh's proposal. There was not even fear in his eyes.

" Adek wants to go to school at Rahmat's place. It's good there, the water's sweet." Nana's been there before. Drain the springs there with springs in his village which is a coastal area of the sea.

Sholeh was surprised to hear Nana's answer. " really ??? Later you cry again there, because far from the same father mother." Reassure Nana's answer.

" Emm." Nana circulated her eyeballs and pointed at the temple, a sign she was thinking about Sholeh's words.

" Yes, papa. Later, if kangen can call. If you are still missing, yes Mr. I asked nengokin adek in his place mas Rahmat... Aren't you? Aren't you?" Nana was proud of the answer. He looks smart with the answers he chooses.

Sholeh felt overwhelmed and anxious with his sister. Until I couldn't help but kiss Nana's cheeks and embrace her. It doesn't matter, even though his sister is a teenager.

The next day, Sholeh conveyed the intention that had been approved by Nana to take her to Lampung to her parents. But they firmly refused what Sholeh said. After Sholeh gave a strong enough reason as a consideration, then they rethink their decision.

I asked Nana directly. Finally Dad decided to give his blessing to Nana who will continue Junior High School in Lampung, where his first child lives.

This decision was taken after weighing her good bad unruk Nana. Given the poor access to the main road of their village. As well as the distance from the settlement to the school that had previously been Nana's destination. Because in his village there are only elementary schools and TPQ. The initial plan, Nana will be inserted into the dormitory or boarding school close to the school. But there was still doubt as well as concern in the hearts of Nana's parents.

" Sir..." Mother called her husband. Afraid that her voice might wake Nana up.

" Hmmm..." Answer me briefly Father.

" Tomorrow ask Nana again, sir!"

" What else do you want to ask, Mom..? Don't you see, your son's spirit up to that. When you know that tomorrow Sholeh invited to go to Lampung."

" But, Sir..." Unresolved mother's words.

" Mom, just pray for your son. He's got school will, let him do what he wants." Words that should be soothing, even make the mother's heart so moaning in pain.

The lush adhan. Nana wakes up and immediately runs to the mosque near the house, as usual. Without knowing the turmoil that was whipping the hearts of his parents. Even the eyes of Mother because she held him last night was not noticed by Nana anymore.

Finished teaching the Qur'an with his friends after dawn prayers. With a happy face he invited all his friends to teach him to shake hands, as a sign of separation. Even Nana had stopped by the house of Embah Uti who made him as the favorite grandson of all time to say goodbye, must not be asked by Father or Mother.

Departure time arrives. Mother seemed unable to take off her embrace on Nana.

" Here you are, Mom. adek want to say goodbye to you." His love for Mom who felt very long embrace him. " When you miss your bus?" Nana's words made mother limp and then let go of her embrace.

" But adek pamit..." Picked his hand after finding his father in the TV room. Without seeing his favorite child even tend to turn his face, Dad handed a ladder that was immediately greeted by a kiss on his back by Nana.

I saw his eyes there was water ! Guman Nana in his heart, while riding a motorcycle driven by Sholeh.

What Nana saw was a reality that her father was trying to cover up. The fact that the one who was most hurt to take Nana off was Dad. Never mind taking Nana to the front of the house and waving as a sign of farewell, looking at Nana's face while saying goodbye just can't you do.
