All the santri and santriwati sit at his prayer place, they recite and continue by praying together.
Tonight is Sunday night the students and students will do learning with their respective teachers.
Syifa who has just finished from her period she is obliged to deposit her memorization.
Syifa looks very lethargic should he have deposited his Alfiah memorization more but he only memorized a few sheets.
Bantam.
''Lita have you talked to Rian?'' ask her mother who is a little curious.
Lita just turned to her mom and went back to watching TV, ''mam Lita needs time for that, besides we are both equally busy where can I talk about my relationship with her, anyway why the hell mommy and dad always urge me to come back with Rian.'' Lita was a little upset by the words of her mother who always made her have to follow the wishes of both parents.
''You already know our reason for you to be with Rian, what the hell makes you want to part with him? not that you are trying to get Rian to propose to you immediately, you are making him break up. Mami's pokonya doesn't want to know you have to turn it back to Rian.''
Mami also left Lita who looked really upset. Lita knows that both her parents feel that Rian is the perfect person to be her future husband, but she cannot force the love in her heart to love Rian. Her heart still loves Hanif and hopes Hanif will be her future husband.
''What should I do.'' Mumbled Lita he felt confused by his position now, if Hanif opened his heart as before maybe he would easily answer the questions of his parents if he was now with Hanif back, he said, but in fact Hanif was as if he did not care about himself with the feelings that Lita had for him he looked ordinary.
Lita thought about what she would do.
Hanif, who had finished teaching at the boarding school, returned to his home.
He walked leisurely enjoying the night air that felt a little cold.
Indeed the air in his hometown was warm even though the night greeted, in contrast to Bandung where he always felt the cold greet his body like piercing his skin because of the night wind.
He took a deep breath, his mind felt very calm. Hanif walked back to his house.
He opened the door and said hello.
He walked in because he found no one. He walked towards the kitchen because he was feeling a little thirsty.
''I thought ummi was praying.'' Said Hanif who sat himself in the chair.
''Ummi is cooking, your tumben is not greeting.'' Kekeh ummi who did not hear greetings from his son.
Hanif only laughed a little he had said his greetings behind the door but because the room was indeed spacious made his voice inaudible.
''It's ummi, ummi who didn't hear.'' Hanif said.
Ummi glanced at his son who seemed to be smiling at him.
''Waalaikum salam.'' Ummi answered Hanif's greeting and laughed.
''Therefore, you must get married quickly, maybe if ummi does not hear your greetings, someone will answer, this house will not be empty there will be your children later who make this house crowded.'' Ummi also said innocently he immediately served a variety of foods that Ummi deliberately cooked himself.
''Yes ummi, ummi just pray that Allah ease the way so that I can get married as soon as possible.'' Said Hanif gently.
''Aamiin may Allah make all your intentions and good intentions easy.'' Ummi also rubbed the back of his only puppet son.
Food that has been served at the dining table with various kinds of menus, ummi immediately called abi to eat together.
Abi joined Hanif after ummi called him. They also eat silently there is no talk because ummi does not allow talking when eating only the sound of a spoon is heard until the meal is finished then they talk.
Abi took the water in front of him and drank it to the toilet. He looked at his son with pride.
''What about the cottage now? do you have no trouble organizing it?'' abi asked looking at Hanif who had just finished eating.
''Alhamdulillah abi all is well.'' Said Hanif he can actually overcome the cottage he knows if his abi really wants Hanif mempu forward it.
''Don't worry, I will try to carry out abi's mandate well.''
Abi Abdullah smiled at the words of his son he felt relieved that Hanif was willing to take the trust from him.
''Then when are you going to express your intentions to your two future wife parents?'' ask Abi who looks impatient.
Hanif was surprised by his abi speech. He looked at the ummi who smiled at him, just ummi who said his wish he also heard his abi desire also asked him to immediately meet the two Syifa parents.
Hanif thought for a moment that he did not know what to say, he did not want his abi to feel disappointed.
''Abi Hanif needs time, the woman I love, she is still in school I can't possibly marry her any time soon.'' Hanif said slowly.
''But it's good if your intentions are good we should meet both parents first, about marriage let us plan later.'' Abi Abdullah gave Hanif a proposal.
''I will take Abi with ummi to meet the woman I love, if indeed she is willing to marry me, then I will meet her parents.'' Hanif said.
Hanif did not want to if he forced Syifa to be ready to marry him, he did not know for sure whether Syifa had forgotten Joseph his heart was a little worried as he recalled his best friend who loved the same woman.
''What if next week? next week the results of the madrassa exam will come out and the students can take a vacation. We will not worry if our departure leaves this cottage because the santri will be more to return home, about the abi cottage will leave it to Ustadz Harist.'' Said abi who looked excited.
Hanif could only nod in agreement, there was no other choice, nor did he want to give wishful thinking to his parents. Maybe abi and ummi want clarity from the words of his son.
Hanif rushed to his room, after he finished eating and chatting he wanted to calm his mind.
He climbed one of the stairs and immediately entered his room. Hanif put his body in the bed and closed his eyes.
His mind went back to Syifa. If he gets the same answer a second time, he is very worried if Syifa changes his mind.
