"Assalamualaikum Fitri's.." Said Bilal who met Fitri on his stool.

"Waalaikumussalam" Fitri replied.

"You still remember me, right, I was the one you found yesterday in a meatball stall" said Bilal.

"Oh.so it's you, sorry I didn't realize we've met" Fitri said.

When the class break was quiet, Fitri who had just entered saw Fina with a sad face. Fina was unaware that Fitri was watching her crying.

"Fina, why are you, having a problem?" Ask Fitri who stroked Fina's back.

"No papa kok Fit" Fina wiped her tears.

"HM. I know that behind your tears there must be a reason, but I won't ask much, it's okay if you don't want to tell it, but if you want to tell me about your problem, then, I'm willing to listen, sometimes telling our grief can reduce the pain we go through, as if it's a problem we all share" Fitri said.

"Fitr..What kind of religion is Islam?" Ask Fina.

Fitri was surprised to hear the question "This Fina question as if he did not know Islam, astaghfirullah.

But Fitri tried to answer. "I think Islam is the perfect religion, governs all aspects of life well, worship only to the creator of Allah SWT, I have read various books, books, what I admire the most is the Qur'an, every word meaning, the content is pure the word of God, Not changed, the content is very powerful meaning for those who understand it" said Fitri while looking at Fina.

"Is that so good? but why did my father turn?" Fina crying.

"Fina is what's really going on.." Fitri was getting curious.

But the other students had come to class, so Fina did not have time to tell the problem.

After school, Fitri was still curious about Fina.

Fitri hurriedly met Fina.

"Where to Fit, we go home together" Citra said. " I'm sorry Citra, I still have business, you go home by yourself first well, next time we go home together" said Fitri.

Fitri immediately chased after Fina who was out of the classroom.

"Fine...Fina..." Fitri's after Fina.

"What Fit" asked Fina. "The problem is, you have not finished the story, right" said Fitri.

Fitri also pulled Fina's hand.

Fitri takes Fina to the park near the school, so Fina can tell her stories freely.

"Thank you Fit, I just knew you but as if only you understood my situation" Fina said.

"It's the same, so what did Fin mean, you said 'why did my father turn away?' What does that mean, I don't understand" Fitri was curious.

"Actually...My father and mother have recently divorced, My father has been in contact with a woman, they met abroad, yes, just as my father left his son, his wife, and his religion for her, he took me away with him, obviously I refused, seeing his face I hated, it felt like I wanted to kill that woman, I was no longer afraid of prison" Fina explained in tears.

"It's hard to forgive dad" Fina said

"HM. at least you tried Fin" Fitri patted Fina's back.

"Still fit.at least I'm more relieved to be able to tell you this, if I tell the same story Yuli will definitely not connect" Fina smiled even though her tears were still dripping.

"Yes, we're both Fina.." Answer Fitri

Ahead of Maghrib Fitri took the time to call Fina.

"Fina Assalamualaikum"

"Waalaikumussalam Fit, what is Fitri" asked Fina.

"There is nothing, I just want to remind you, do not forget to pray, soon want Maghrib, you are ready, Fin..believe me if you perform the minimum prayer five times inshaallah your heart will be calmer" said Fitri gently.

"Iya Fit.I will try to perform the five prayers" said Fina

"Yes I've hung up the phone, yes, I want to get ready for ablution first, you too yes.. Assalamualaikum" Fitri said.

"Iya Fit waalaikumussalam" replied Fina.

Fina, who was lying in her bedroom, woke up. Fina thought for a moment..

"Now Fitri said, maybe I am too far from the way of Allah, so that my heart rarely feels calm, God wants it to change from my current lifestyle" Inner Fina who was staring at her face in the glass.

Fina met her mother who was daydreaming in the living room.

"Mom..Mom kok daydreaming anyway, Bu.mamati Fina Prayer yuk, we pray together yes" Invite Fina.

Fina's mother was surprised by her daughter's invitation, because she never even told her daughter to pray.

"Mom, we should be aware of every problem that is inflicted on us.Maybe a rebuke from God Ma'am, all this time we have been far from God Ma'am" said Fina softly.

"God is right my daughter said, I did not expect you to give guidance to my daughter, maybe this is a satire for me who never took my daughter to your path" Inner Mother.

"You're right, baby, I'm sorry, you've been too busy with work until you forgot your obligation to take you on the right path" said Mother.

"No need to feel guilty, we are still given a chance by God to change" Fina embraced the mother.

"From this moment on we learn together, Mom, let me go and take the woman and her property, but we must remember that God is always with us Mom, we must be able to end this sorrow, we should be able to open a new page in our lives Mom" Fina cried looking at her mother.

Fina and her mother also performed Maghrib prayers although their knowledge of prayer was still minimal.

*The repentance of a sinner is more God loves than the prayer of a proud man." - Ibn Qayyim*
