Morning arrived to be a good start for Asthma is also good news for Papa Hanif. Asma had delivered the decision from her teaching friends. And today is a long-awaited day to see a new location for teaching places.

While preparing Farhan's shirt, Asma invited him to a conversation.

“today, I with papa will visit see new locations for teaching places.” Her speech.

“do you have time to join ?” Ask Asma.

“what time is ?” Ask.

“mhh.. possible tenth hour.” The answer.

“later I will try yes, see the condition in the hospital first.” Reply Farhan while receiving Asthma who helps him wear a light blue shirt.

“today we couple-an yes.” Farhan LEDEK.

Asma immediately looked at herself in the mirror and saw the robe and veil she was wearing in line with the shirt Farhan was wearing.

“you followed me yes.” Farhan.

“kan me first who wear this color.” Asthma Reply.

“yasalah, but it was you who took the shirt for me.” Farhan.

“i didn't intentionally. Here loose, I change the color.” Asthma Vocabulary.

“ngga ah, wear this one only.” Said Farhan while tidying up.

Suddenly Mama Fara opened the door to greet her two children who were still cool in the room.

“ayo.. breakfast is ready.” Mama Fara said with a smile.

“mah, am I compatible with asthma ? fits right, ma we couple-an ?” Farhan said while embracing Asthma.

Asthma slightly refused in embarrassment and lowered her face. Mama Fara who saw him was smiling happily.

“iya. yes.. you guys are suitable, the most harmonious couple in this house.” Reply Mama Fara.

“Mama wait for dinner table yes.” Mama said, closing the door.

Asma and Farhan prepare to catch up with Mama to gather at the dinner table. Friendly, Asma held Farhan's arm towards the dining table. Mom and Dad greeted her with a smile. The two people he was worried about now made them calm with intimacy in a short time.

Farhan who patiently waited, Asma who sincerely opened her heart and tried to accept the presence of an unknown man. For him this is called God's best destiny for himself. What he thought was bad for him at the time, but good for God for himself.

It is possible that God wants to restore a good relationship for himself with Ihsan. And his efforts opened the heart for Farhan to bear sweet fruit. A man she does not know can love her very much and treat her well. Be patient waiting for him to be able to accept without having to force.

Syahrul's morning as usual begins with opening a chicken porridge stall. After he was done helping to serve the buyers, Syahrul and Mr. Shahdan sat face to face at the table.

“ngga too crowded yes, sir.” Syahrul.

“ngga. Thank God, I am grateful that someone is still buying. At least the father's cooking is still tasting.” Say it with a smile.

“thank you, yes sir.” Syahrul.

“what thanks ?” Ask Syahrul.

“bapak is always there for shahrul. Besides being a father, you also try to be a mother for shahrul.” The answer.

“sorry yes, sir. Until now syahrul is still like this, syahrul still can not make father happy.” Syahrul.

“you know what you want and make you happy ?” Ask Mr. Shahdan.

“apa sir ? if shahrul can do, shahrul will do. If shahrul can realize, will be shahrul fulfill the wishes of father.” Syahrul.

“there is nothing you want most from yourself, other than you being a righteous child. Because that's all you'll have until you come back.” The answer.

“three practices that will not be interrupted even if we are dead. Amal Jariyah, I always teach you to give alms even though we are in a narrow state, because it is also one way to expand and bring fortune.” Obviously Mr. Shahdan.

“Your useful knowledge. Even though you don't teach like you. But you also try to convey good things that you know to people. If they practice what you say, at least it becomes a little savings for father.” Further.

Syahrul began to bow, hiding his eyes that began to tear.

“bapak just want, one day the only father that you have will not forget to pray for the father even though the father has not accompanied you, shahrul. Your good behavior also proclaims the name of the father in the eyes of the people. Although the father is poor in treasure, at least there is still something to be proud of in this world, which is to have a good son who treats his parents well.” Obviously Mr. Shahdan who makes Syahrul can not hold back his tears and cry as much as possible.

“assalamu’alaikum.” Say a girl who is a subscription to Mr. Shahdan in addition to Asthma.

“wa’alaikumussalam.”

“pak, syahrul into first.” Say Syahrul who knows the voice of the girl.

“pak, as usual. Three packs, one do not use sambal and celery.” Say it with a smile.

“ready, neng.” Sahut Pak Shahdan with joy.

“alone, neng ?’ Ask Mr. Shahdan.

“iya, sir. Who else does it want to be.” Reply with a small laugh.

“not married ?” Ask Mr. Shahdan while preparing the ordered porridge.

“not yet, sir. It's young, haha. Still waiting, sir.” Reply Nadia.

“wait who, neng ?” Ledek Mr. Shahdan.

“bungguin soul mate dong, sir. Until God found. Hehe..” Reply Nadia.

“hey, nad.” Sapa Syahrul who came back out.

"hi." Reply Nadia.

“bapak pray deh, may be reunited with a shale man who will treat neng well.” Said Mr. Shahdan.

“aamiin.” Said Nadia while looking at Syahrul and smiled back to Mr. Shahdan.

When love still has to be tucked away with shame. When only prayer becomes a bridge to express all the feelings in the heart. And wait for destiny to work to realize every hope. Although the heart is often difficult to accept the existing provisions, but the chest still strung iklas still sought to receive. Because there is a belief that God is the one who knows the best way for oneself to depend on Him.

“pak, syahrul there is good news for mr.” Her speech.

“what news is it ?” Ask Mr. Shahdan.

“syahrul accepted work, sir. One of the companies.” The answer.

“Alhamdulillah.” Said Mr. Shahdan who immediately embraced Syahrul.

“remember father's message, yes. Leave if it keeps you from God. I'll be there for you, son.” Mr. Shahdan's Message.

For him, happiness is not just having material that can fulfill our every desire. Because the best is enough to meet every need instead of having every thing you want. And he believed that simplicity could even ease his way back to God. Treasures will be beneficial when we use them appropriately and wreak havoc if they drift in their brilliance.

“syahrul said yes, sir. There is an appointment with asthma and other friends.” Say Syahrul shaking hands with Mr. Shahdan.

“Assalamu’alaikum.”

“wa’alaikumussalam.”
