Amira did not expect that he was currently sitting opposite the figure who was in the second place did not want him to meet, Farhat. Because on the top ladder was occupied by a man named Ardinan Nawwaf. Yes, the man is still the number one list of people to avoid and not want to be met by Amira.
Amira is still mute with all circumstances, her desire to make a recipe as if it failed because of the bully figure in front of her. Indeed he did not have the slightest intention of talking to the man, but what was the force of the moment the man who suddenly sat in front of him with a cup of coffee. She can what? Expel? There is no way she has to face, Amira does not want to be achieved as a woman fails to move on. But after thinking about it she is indeed a woman who failed to move on, but not the figure in front of her as a suspect there are others.
"How are you?" Amira closes the magazine she reads.
"As you see, I am very good. So don't worry about me." Amira replied in a deep tone.
"I can see that, yes you've changed a lot now." Amira looked to the right and to the left.
"Said Mr. Damar you're free, so can we repeat the story that used to be." This is Farhat, a man who always does things that are sometimes beyond the expectations of Amira and often what is done are things that Amira feels uncomfortable.
"It's not clear that I don't want to repeat the story of the past." Amira answered casually.
"We don't repeat stories of the past, we make new stories."
"Always to the points." Amira said in a satirical tone.
"You know for sure that I don't talk much." Amira lifted her shoulders casually, she seemed unaffected.
"How's it?" Amira was silent.
"I know and realize that what you did to me at the time was right. Yes, you were right to reject me because I felt a failure because of my marriage intentions. I learned from all that, not just the need that should be the basis of our marriage but also because of a worship. And now that I've renewed it, my intention is entirely due to worship." Amira turned to the right she did not want to see a little of Farhat's facial expression, because somehow Amira sympathized with Farhat's change.
"I want to change everything, let's support each other!" Amira remained in her position, she was at a loss as to what to answer. He would be happy to explode if Farhat would be selfish and not admit fault, but this is not him not estimating what response he should give.
"Amira," call Farhat in full supplication.
"I don't know, obviously I can't. Not that I haven't been able to examine my own feelings." Amira the quiet one chooses to be honest with everything that is in front of her eyes, she is not able to just lie and make others hurt.
"So I still have a chance?" Farhat seemed enthusiastic, all of it was heard from his excited voice.
"Everyone has a chance, it's just that it's not the power to give him. For me all that was a lesson, I just learned from the already."
"I thought you would refuse to give me a chance" Farhat said unconvincedly.
"Why should? Allah alone is the All-Mighty, willing to give his servant the opportunity to make mistakes repeatedly. If I claim to believe in Allah I must also imitate and take lessons, right?" Amira sipped her juice then she cleared her throat.
"It's not a romance or anything. You have the same opportunities as the people out there. Because I never know who will marry and my soul mate, which I emphasize is not finished because I do not necessarily choose you. No commitment before marriage." Amira took out the money and put it on the table she was about to leave Farhat.
"Assalamualaikum," said Amira last before she picked up the magazine and walked out of the cafe she was visiting.
Amira looked at the circular clock on her right arm, then she sighed because after a long time she was sitting on the bench but she did not even get a new recipe. Amira pushes the glass door, but she is surprised by the presence of the number one figure she avoids.
Dinan, the man was standing right in front of the door wearing material trousers over his ankles and a plain T-shirt lined with flannel shirts. Amira was silent for quite a while, as she felt de ve ju with this state, as if she was being pulled through the dimension of time to return to the past.
"You just want to stand there?" The voice resuscitated Amira, making Amira look down wrongly.
"I'm sorry," said Amira then he walked over regardless of Dinan's presence. He walked as if to say the name of Allah and many words of joy that he said to calm his heartbeat that felt so tight. He felt as if if it were not calmed down then my heart would explode in the near future.

Amira put the bag and book she was carrying on the bed, She let out a long sigh. I don't know what he's feeling right now because in reality he can't judge by himself. He's tired and he doesn't want to go any deeper.
Amira picks up the shirt she hung near her hijab then she goes inside the bathroom to clean herself up. Amira entered with her left foot and did not forget to say a prayer.
كَانَ النَّبِىُّ - صلى الله عليه وسلم - إِذَا دَخَلَ الْخَلاَءَ قَالَ « اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّى أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ الْخُبُثِ وَالْخَبَائِثِ »
"Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wa sallam upon entering *****, he said: Allahumma inni a'udzu bika minal khubutsi wal khobaits (Oh Allah, Allah, I seek refuge in You from the male devil and the female devil)."
(CHR. Bukhari 142 and Muslim no. 375.)
It didn't take long, Amira came out in a different shirt, she stepped on her right foot first and said a prayer.
أَنَّ النَّبِىَّ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- كَانَ إِذَا خَرَجَ مِنَ الْغَائِطِ قَالَ « غُفْرَانَكَ ».
"Prophet Shallallahu 'alaihi wa sallam usual after he came out of the bathroom he said "ghufronaka" (O Allah, I ask forgiveness from You).
(CHR. Abu Daud. 30, At Tirmidhi. 7, Ibn Majah. 300, Ad Darimi. 680. Shaykh Al Albani says that this hadith is shahih.)
Amira then sat back by her bedside, so she remembered her old habits. Amira used to linger in the bathroom, she really likes it in the bathroom because for her the bathroom is about refreshing the body and brain. But not anymore, because he knew that the bathroom was the most favored place.
Amira also remembers some adab in the bathroom that she had just learned when she was an adult. Among them are; going in and out reading prayers, going in before the left foot and going out before the right foot, not reading Quranic verses in the bathroom, not singing, not singing, do not linger in the bathroom and should not hang clothes in the bathroom. So from all the lessons Amira began to try to change herself and try her best to follow the rules that have been set.
Amira looked at her hand, she saw the ring on the left ring finger. He noticed a white stain on the sidelines of the ring. He took the ring off and put it in a drawer, his brother said the ring was bought in Saudi Arabia so it was worth it. Hah, Amira only sighed considering Arif's coercion to wear the ring. Amira then went back into the bathroom for ablution because the Maghrib adhan had been reverberating.
"Ami," called Dinda, Amira just kept quiet because she was in the bathroom. Because the ban in the bathroom talking it is absolute so can not be contested unless there is something emergency.
"Yes, Mommy!" amira exclaimed after saying the prayer out of the bathroom and the prayer after ablution. Amira immediately put on the headscarf she was wearing in the room then took a mukena. Already since the presence of the sister-in-law, Amira always pray worshipers at home. No longer munfarid because the brother is always kindly calling.
In the past Amira often prayed alone or occasionally he went to the mosque. However, everything has changed since Amira began to often come to study and he began little by little to practice as much as possible starting from small things such as advice in and out of the house before what legs or prayers as well about food.
Ah, speaking of food matters, Amira became very eager to learn, she was a teacher of cooking and food was the main factor of life so if eaten properly then worship will be more active. I thought Amira.
"Later see murojaah mbak yes, because your mas will have a meeting." Amira nodded then looked at the prayer prayer by standing to the right of Dinda, and Fatimah stood to the left of the mother. Amira used to think that the prayers of male and female priests were the same. But after learning many different things.
From Roithoh Al Hanafiyah, he said:
أن عائشة أمتهن وقامت بينهن في صلاة مكتوبة
"'Aisha used to worship women and she stood (aligned) with them when performing obligatory prayers." (CHR. 'Abdur Rozak, Ad Daruquthniy, Al Hakim and Al Baihaqi. An Nawawi says that this sanad hadith is shahih. However, this hadith is weakened/dho'ifkan by Shaykh Al Albani, but he has a reinforcement from the hadith Hujairoh bint Husain. See Tamamul Minnah, p. 154)
The same thing was done by Umm Salamah. From Hujairoh bint Husayn, he said:
أمتنا أم سلمة في صلاة العصر قامت بيننا
"Your mother Salamah once believed in us (the women) while praying Ashar and she stood in our midst." (CHR. Abdur Rozak, Ibn Abi Shaybah, Al Baihaqi. This history has amplifiers from other histories of the Qotadah pathway from Ummul Hasan)
Ummul Hasan had also seen Umm Salamah - the wife of the Prophet shallallahu 'alaihi wa sallam - imitating the women (and Umm Salamah standing) in their shaf. (This Atsar is an atsar that can be practiced as Shaykh Al Albani said in Tamamul Minnah, p. 504)
There are also scholars who advocate the prayer of worship for women with their fellow men based on the hadith in the history of Abu Daud in the Chapter "Women as priests",
كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- يَزُورُهَا فِى بَيْتِهَا وَجَعَلَ لَهَا مُؤَذِّنًا يُؤَذِّنُ لَهَا وَأَمَرَهَا أَنْ تَؤُمَّ أَهْلَ دَارِهَا. قَالَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ فَأَنَا رَأَيْتُ مُؤَذِّنَهَا شَيْخًا كَبِيرًا.
"Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wa sallam once visited Umm Waroqoh at his home. And he ordered someone to make an adhan. Then he ordered Umm Waroqoh to imitate the women in the house."
'Abdurrahman (bin Khollad) said that the one who proclaimed the Adhan was an old man." (CHR. Abu Dawood. Shaykh Al Albani says that this hadith is hasan)
After the prayer Amira sat in front of the sister-in-law by opening the Qur'an, he would listen to the memorization of the brother. Amira's sister-in-law is eager for her son to become a hafidz or hafidzah hence since pregnant the sister memorized some letters in the Qur'an. Starting from the letter of An-naba' to an-nass, then continued the letter of Al-mulk until the letter of Al-mursalat.
