"Dear, sorry! I fell asleep last night" Bela said with a smile.
"It's okay, I know you're tired all day long draining the house" replied Ray clasping Bela's hand and smiling.
Ray, Bela and Raynan have breakfast together.
The life that Ray had imagined, was now a reality. It's just that when you see the seat of Bu Santi, who is now empty, sometimes there is still a sense of sadness.
However, Ray had already learned the iklas. Describe the destiny that Allah has set.

"Assalamu'alaikum" said Riza on Mita's doorstep.
"Guilingsalam, son of Riza. Come on in, see Mita, will you?" ask Mita's mother.
"Yes aunty, is Mita still at home?" ask Riza.
"Still, I'm preparing for noon today. Come in, please sit down first" said Ms. Mita.
"Who's Ma'am, outside?" Ask Mita.
"That's Nak Riza. You meet first." said Mita's mother.
"Riza, why are you here? sorry to forget, you don't have a job. So it can be anywhere and anytime playing to people's homes," said Mita covered her mouth with her right hand.
"Mita, what are you saying, "said Mita's father who is currently sitting d with Riza.
"It's okay, Om." said Riza.
"Yes right, wrong Mita where try yah?" said Mita.
"I'm sorry, Riza boy. This Mita likes to talk, not in the first thought," said Mita's father.
"Son Riza, Om glad you want Riza to come here often. Especially to take Mita to work. Nak Riza know, Mita is indeed a hard child but actually her heart is soft really, not as it looks, " said Mita's father.
"Yes, Om, I know that" replied Riza.
"Not like the original how? I am a person like this, nothing is fine." said Mita.
"Already, it's noon. You'd better leave soon." said Mita's father.
"Son Riza, if there's any time later in the afternoon you can't come here anymore, anyone wants to talk about it,"
"Yes, Riza must be, if Riza has a lot of time. What else he wants is he doesn't have a job" said Mita.
"Now, Riza! Don't listen to Mita!" said Mita's father.
***
Along the way Mita and Riza did not talk much, both of them were silent.
Until finally Riza opened her voice and ventured to ask about the reason why Mita was sniffling on her.
"Are you acting like this, because of my work?" ask Riza.
"I do not dislike you because you are unemployed, it's just that I think, as a man who is still given a healthy, complete physical and nothing short of anything, he said, better not hang yourself on others. Instead of relying only on the wealth of others, you should start looking for work" said Mita.
"But I don't need to find work, because I_" said Riza cut off.
"Because you're used to hanging your life with Bela? I know, Ma'am Bela is a good man. But I think as good as anyone can be to us, it's still better that we stand on our own feet" said Mita.
"Mita, you seem to have misunderstood me" said Riza.
"Misunderstand how?" ask Mita.
"I don't rely on the life of Bela, yes when I was a child. The Bela family has helped me a lot and Mom, they also sent me to school, but after graduating from college, I no longer depend financially on the Bela family. I work at RR food company, it has nothing to do with Bela company." explained Riza.
"RR food company? It is one of the big companies in Indonesia, even the products have arrived abroad, you actually work there? But how does it seem like your working hours are not sure gini? And this car? I know you're a driver, right? Because if you staff is bound to work hours, unless you're a driver, it still makes sense. If the driver only leaves when he needs his boss, right my guess?" said Mita.
"Hehehe.. " Riza smiled and showed her a row of white teeth.
"You think too much of Mita" said Riza.
"But is it true my guess? no need to be ashamed, the driver at RR food company, is also quite good.than unemployment.at least you are an income man," said Mita
Riza scratched her non-itchy head.
"Yesterday in the thought of unemployment, now thought the driver, Hobbynya thought without wanting to hear the explanation of people. Well, at least he doesn't consider q a man who only depends on the life of others." Inner Riza..
"What time's it coming home tonight?" ask Riza.
"Nine o'clock, why? Would you like to pick me up again?" ask Mita.
"Can I pick you up? ask Riza.
"It's okay, but I have a request" Mita said.
"Request? What request?" asked Riza frowning.
"From now on if you want to pick me up, don't use your boss's car! honestly I'm more proud that you're who you are, no need to use people's cars, no nothing! it's just that I don't want to think people are too shy, honestly I don't feel good with neighbors," said Mita who was tired in the neighborhood gossip waiting for a rich man to defend being a spinster.
"This car you mean?" asked Riza frowning.
"Yes, this is your boss's car, right? after all, are you not ashamed to use your boss' car for personal use? I'd rather you don't push yourself too much, sorry but it seems like everything you wear is not cheap. Do you love your salary? rather than having to force yourself with branded items like that you better save the money. Living in a big city like this should be good at organizing money!" said Mita.

"Raynan sure you want a school?" ask Bela.
"Yes, mom. Raynan bosen at home. Raynan wants to go to school" Raynan said.
"Yes, mommy will talk first with deddy, baby,"
"Thank you, mommy. Raynan loves mommy," said Raynan kissing Bela's cheek.
"Yes dear," replied Bela herself.
After Ray comes home from work, Bela says what their son wants.
Ray was enthusiastically surfing in cyberspace to find information about the best school there. Ray wanted to give Raynan the best school.
"What if this school is all right, baby?" ray's question showed the school profile on his phone.
"It looks like five is good, the facilities are also complete. And the important thing is that the distance is also not too far from here" said Bela.
"Yes already , tomorrow I will accompany you there, yes" said Ray.
"Tomorrow you're Ray's job?" ask Bela.
"It's okay, it's Raynan's first school. I want to be able to see and choose directly the school for our children, so far I have lost a lot of valuable moments of growth Raynan. From now on I want to make up for all that" Ray said.
"I'm sorry, Ray. I've made you lose Raynan's moment of growth" Bela said regretfully.
"Dear, stop. It's already passed. Now I beg you, if there's anything. Always communication! never make your own decisions, " said Ray.
"I promise you, it will never happen, baby! I also suffered all this time to be away from you dear," said Bela.
Cup..
A sweet kiss landed on Bela's lips.
"Today, I want you baby" whispered Ray after releasing a kiss.
Back Ray showered a kiss on Bela, the woman he had longed for so many years, slowly Ray took off one by one the clothes Bela was currently wearing and threw them in any direction. Ray misses Bela so much, years apart from Bela does not make him forget his love for Bela.
Tonight became a hot night for these two people, letting go of the longing so burning in their hearts for so many years.
The next day, they woke up to take a junub bath and perform congregational morning prayers.
"Darling, you've changed so much now, haven't you?" ask Ray.
"Changed? what has changed from me?" ask Bela doesn't understand.
"I'm concerned, Alhamdulilah now you are good at teaching and praying, your understanding of religion is also very good, what during the S village you learn Religion?" ask Ray.
"Yes, while there. Thank God there was an ustadzah who taught me all that" Bela replied.
"Alhamdulillah, I am pleased with your present change. Yes, we already pray at dawn," said Ray.
"Yes Ray, let me call Raynan first" Bela said.
***
"Raynan, wake up baby! We pray at dawn first" said Bela to build Raynan.
"Raynan is still sleepy, mom." replied Raynan still lazy to open his eyes.
"But it's time to pray at dawn dear, Daddy is also waiting for us, sholih children wake up first yes," said Bela.
Although heavy, but Raynan finally got up and took ablution water.
Bela smiled looking at her disheveled son with her eyes closed.
Yes, Bela did teach Raynan to pray early, because Bela did not want Raynan to grow like he was far from religion. Bela really hopes Raynan can be a sholih and obedient child worship.
"Raynan, are you awake?" ray asked as Bela returned to the mosque in his house.
"Already, Ray was taking ablution water," replied Bela.
"That's it," said Bela smilingly pointing to Raynan who was walking towards the mosque using a cocoa dress and a slightly messy sarong.
"This is why the buttons on his shirt aren't the same baby?" ask Bela laugh.
"Raynan sleeps mom" replied Raynan.
"Yes, here let mommy help you really," said Bela Seraya fix buttons Raynan clothes.
"Alhamdulillah, daddy sholih's son. Daddy is very proud of Raynan, at your small age, but able to fight your drowsiness and laziness to do dawn prayers, you are really a great child dear," Ray praised Raynan.
After the dawn prayers Bela and Ray recite the holy verse of the Quran, while Ray who is still sleepy falls asleep on Ray's lap.
Ray looked at Raynan sleeping on his lap.
"It feels like a dream to see you are here, we worship together and both look for God's Ridho. MasyaAlloh, I really feel grateful to hear all this dear," said Ray after they closed his Quran.
