Syahdu morning, a song of nature accompanied by rain music. The cold breeze caressed waving, the rustling of earthy water complemented each other. The sun hiding gives the sky a chance to rule.
Amira stood on the porch of the house in silence. He picked up the umbrella and then went back into silence when he was on the porch. Amira is confused by what she will do, because the rain is increasing its identity.
"Ami, what are you doing?" Amira turned to look at the older brother who was leaning on the side of the door.
"Kok the rain is getting heavier, Bang. Though today Ami only material if not enter the children." Arif looked at the rain and then looked towards the sister.
"When it rains, all we do is thank him. No complaining! God created all this in balance as needed." Arif stood up straight then sat down in a chair.
"Yes, but it's about to go." Amira followed by sitting next to the brother with a round table as a barrier.
"Have he asked for benefits yet?" Amira.
"meaning?
"You have not, you know that when it rains, God spreads many blessings. Therefore we must say 'Allahumma shoyyiban nafi'an' which means, O Allah send down to us a fruitful rain. This means that we must be sure that every rain brings benefits. Don't complain about the rain." Amira advances her lips, which she means by saying that the rain does not subside immediately does not mean she is not grateful for the rain but she wants to be given ease, he said, isn't it human nature has been given one ease would want other conveniences.
"You know, when it rains is the time when prayers are worshiped. Because in a hadith it is explained that when it rains including the time of mustajab to pray. So, don't censure it!" Amira looked at Arif with a frown.
"Seek the do'a that mustajab in three circumstances; meet two armies, before the prayer is performed, and when it rains. Issued by Imam Shafi'i in Al Umm and Al Baihaqi in Al Ma'rifah from Makhul in a mursal manner. Shaykh Al Albani said that this hadith is shahih. See Shohihul Jaami' no. 1026."
Amira swagged then she leaned back, she looked at the money clock coiled around her wrist then she smiled faintly.
"Let's get between you," said Arif standing up from his seat.
"Well, this is one of the blessings of rain." Arif turned towards Amira then he gently nudged Amira's forehead.
"Basic," said Arif with a smile then walked in to change his clothes and took the car keys.

Amira was still silent in her seat, although Arif's car parked near the right side gate, she was entering the alley back to see the red car. He became unsettled, wanting him to complain to the brother about the stalker who had been following him for a long time but he was afraid if the brother was angry and did beyond reasonableness.
"Why?" asked Arif to open his voice, because since then the sister only put on her flat face and did not make a sound at all.
"No papa, think again how if the car goes in until the front of the office." Amira lied if that was the thing she had been thinking since, because her absurd thoughts just now were just a cursory thought to trick the older brother.
"It's getting worse!" Amira chuckled at the elder brother's words with a contorted tone.
"Yes once in a while."
"It's down there!" Amira laughed then took the brother's hand to shake his hand and said his greetings before he spread his umbrella to protect from the rain.
Amira only he momentarily faced towards the car of the elder brother, then as the elder gave a code with his hand to immediately leave Amira nodded and walked in through the slightly open gate.
"Assalamualaikum warohmatullahi wabarokatuh, Mr. Rahmad."
"Waalaikumsalam warohmatulli. Miss Mira, wet, ma'am?"
"Alhamdulillah yes Sir. Come!"
"Mom's Cheer." Amira aggrieved then walked towards the back building, she would see the room used for material and demo chef Ardi.
Today actually there will only be material but due to free time so Bu Rina invited chef Ardi to demo cooking event. Amira walked slowly and sorted out the path that was not flooded, she did not want her socks to get wet.
"Mr Mira," call Mr. Kamil from the front of the canteen. Amira turned her head then walked towards the canteen she closed her umbrella and put it in the corner. Amira walked slowly.
"Assalamualaikum warohmatullahi wabarokatuh." Amira approached several of the teacher councils there.
"Waalaikumsalam warohmatulli wabarokatuh."
"Let's join Mom!"
"Thank you."
"What message do you want?"
"Cheat orange, Mom."
"Yes, wait!"
"Bu Mira why come to h early?" ask Ms. Tia.
"This ma'am wants a demo of Ardi's chef." Amira confirmed her sitting position.
"Well, does that mean there are activities for the children?"
"Yes, the beginning wanted material before facing the demo and Bogasari race. But because the time is very free, Rina initiative for chef Ardy demo first so that the children have a view." Amira lowered her head while playing the tip of the hijab.
"Yes, it's in line with the majors that Mr. Dinan took."
"What theme?"
"Putting out the word a million beautiful characters." Amira did not know which was the subject, she just kept quiet.
"Dinan's profession now, what?"
"Lacking to know, some say a businessman there are also say motivators and many more." Amira did not say, she just kept quiet did not want to make a sound. This is a very sensitive subject. Amira chose to enjoy the warm orange in front of her.
"Makin macho sir Dinan."
"Book?"
"Yes, very lukewarm candidate." Amira suddenly chokes. Bu Tia nimbly patted Amira on the back.
"Why Ma'am?"
"Sorry, I want to breathe and put some drinking water in. It's choking." Amira said in a broken manner after feeling a slight subside of her chest and nose.
"Mother Mira is here?" tanya Miss looked at the door. Amira looked towards the door.
"Yes Ma'am?"
"There's a guest." Amira stared at the wonder of Miss.
"Related for me, Mom?" tanya Amira stood up to Rindu.
"Yes, he said that."
"Who about?"
"Less to know, try to find. He's waiting in BK's room." Amira nodded then she went to the table to say goodbye to the other teachers.
Amira paid for her drink and then came out of the canteen, not forgetting that she told the cafeteria mother that she had put an umbrella there because the rain had subsided. Amira passed through the hallway of the eleventh grade building, she was going straight to the Counseling Guidance room. Amira occasionally replies to greetings from some students even though she is not sure that she knows the name of the only child.
"Assalamualaikum, Miss Mira." A few children sitting on the terrace greeted Amira and shook her hands.
"Waalaikumsalam warohmatulli. You guys don't participate in journalistic activities?"" Amira asked while taking turns shaking hands.
"Still break Mom." Amira just nodded then said goodbye to the BK room first because there are guests. After arriving near the Counseling Guidance room, Amira took a breath, there a distance of about ten steps in front of her stood two figures of the man she knew. Amira does not know why destiny always meets her with the figure who stands there.
Amira squeezed her nose as if cleaning her snot, even though there was no liquid in her nose. There stood, Faris and Dinan were having a serious conversation. Amira could see from two faces. Amira took a breath as she unintentionally judged Dinan's unusual appearance.
Is it true that the teachers said in the cafeteria that Dinan now works at the company? Because from what Amira saw, currently Dinan was wearing a suit and pants material. He seemed more exclusive to look at, what else on his neck and the sun on his chest was a tie that made him look even more dignified. Amira immediately took a stand when she remembered her behavior. By trying to calm down he should immediately enter the counseling guidance room.
"Assalamualaikum" hail Amira. And when looking ahead he only saw Joko sir.
"Waalaikumsalam warohmatulli. In Mom!" Amira nodded then she was welcome to sit by Mr. Joko.
"Sorry Mom. There was a guest but he said he was in a hurry so had not had time to meet with Mom. He handed me a piece of cell phone number paper. Said Amira's old friend."
"Thank you, sir. Then excuse me, assalamualaikum warohmatullahi wabarokatuh." Amira received the folded paper and resigned.
Amira walks into the hallway of the laboratory, she remembers wanting to give the paper material to one of her students so she will meet in her class. But when he was in front of the laboratory room he stopped and unfolded the folds of paper he was holding.
Luluk.
And with the phone number and address of a cafe, Amira frowned in surprise. What does all this mean? Amira did not grasp the intent behind it at all. Amira pocketed the paper and walked towards her destination.

Amira walks open the fence of her house then she goes in and turns her body to lock the fence. He was observing the surroundings he was astonished that now there was no more red car. Is it bored? But if you are bored it is impossible because this afternoon the car was still stalking when he was escorted by his brother to school. Amira just shrugged her shoulders no matter what, she thought everything was fine as long as it did not harm her.
"Assalamualaikum warohmatullahi wabarokatuh," said Amira into an unlocked house. There were voices in the back. Amira stepped up then she saw the family of the older sister who was joking in the living room.
"Home home, Ami."
"Yes," Amira took the hands of all of them in turn, occasionally teasing the cluttered-looking pounder for playing a monopoly with her father.
"Follow in" said Amira, saying goodbye.
"Oh yes, there was someone who proposed ta'aruf he did not need nadhor want to directly preach and marry. Brother's data put it on your desk." Amira turned to the older brother quickly, she stared at the horror of the older brother, while Arif had returned to concentrate on the monopoly board. Amira sighed then she walked in while grumbling.
Amira threw her bag over the bed, she immediately sat down to relieve the tightness in her chest. How could her brother easily accept the intention of ta'aruf others without Amira's permission. Amira sighed then she immediately got up from her seat and took out a piece of paper on her desk.
Ardinan Nawwaf
Amira glared with her mouth slightly open, she seemed to enter another dimension while staring at some letters lined up to form a very familiar name written in the name section on the biodata on the paper.
