Early in the day the chant of the Quran has begun to be heard by Zafira's sense of hearing, yes it's from Ma'had which certainly now has many students there who are awakened.

Zafira began to open his eyes to receive a glare of lights, when all his life had been collected he immediately woke up and ablution.

After praying tahajud and teaching Zafira to relax himself again by still using his mukenya, he took a mobile phone and who certainly opened the novel.

There are so many novel applications on Zafira's mobile phone and also his novel collection because it is from the 5th grade he has recognized it.

This afternoon Zafira, Lutfi and Desta were asked to help the mothers who would cook for later tonight, because it would be night 11 according to lunar calculations there is usually a reading of manaqib sheikh Abdul Qadir Jaelani.

There are bude Sri, Mbah supi, Mbah um, Bu colorful, Bu Retno and others. Later the plan for the drink will be in the press does not mean luxury but anticipate not to spill.

If the rice and side dishes are actually simple but MasyaaAllah is immeasurably delicious, usually in every manaqib like this there are people who want to ask for Fadilah by carrying various innate things like when they want to fall but the difference here is coupled with vegetables, chickens and bananas.

Actually it is not mandatory only if there are those who want to send prayers to ancestors, have a wish, khotmil Qur'an and others.

Zafira would be happy to accept the offer when yesterday he was asked by a Nyai Bu named Bu Siti usually they call mbak somehow like that but mostly call mbak. But for kyai sir they still call sir.

Later that night actually Zafira and the cottage child who is the top class or known as Hadroh members are asked to fill sholawat after the reading of manaqib is completed.

So more or less like this series of events, first Maghrib prayers continued repentance prayers, liqifdil faith and awwabin knitted with the reading of manaqib, then knitted again with mahalul qiyam, then forgive and then close with Hadroh.

''This nduk please dipitili (cut) yes'' said Mbah supi

''nggeh mba''

''desta tumbasno sugar nggene pak Yudi'' pinta bude Sri

Actually, Mr. Yudi and his first wife opened a shop, and yes probably many buyers but Zafira never saw or bought. He advised his mother to avoid buying there or getting scorn and insults his first wife.

''Sir, Saniya Sama April has not healed yet?''

''sat mornin' there has been mengingan everything mbak''

''huwallahua'lam mbak, it's Allah''s plan''

''eh mbak until the lak runs out this pass, tell me where''

''skadama, mbak Lina yesterday also alumni there"

The night had come, the reading of manaqib had just been read now all who were present stood for mahalul qiyam, Zafira and the other Hadroh members began to advance because of his tools in front.

Actually the girls are only five but because April and Saniya are not so good as three. Zafira as vocal 1 in another sense only connect if Zafira is not strong.

The chanting mahalul qiyam made everyone shed tears especially Pak kyai asked to close his eyes and present a rosulullah.

After mahalul qiyam they pardon around making a large circle of course separated between men and women.

Hadroh members are asked to remain in place reciting sholawat Jibril accompanying each step they stepped on.

How not to shed his tears while his vocals alone carried the sholawat with a trembling heart longing for his rosul.

''MasyaaAllah mbak Zafira, barokallah nggeh for everything'' said mr. kyai

''still strong, Fira?''

''insyaallah taseh''

''niki the fathers e request sholawat albi ya albi''

''sit''

While Zafira and the others contributed to his tone and vocals the mothers were praising Zafira and comparing him to Yuni. There was one of them saying something like this

''yes, the land of Bu Nisa is sintered in everything so there is no need to doubt about taking care of children, not that I vilify his first wife but it is different if Bu Nisa is the same as his first wife, Mr. Yudi, if I am clear, Ms. Nisa''

Manaqib tonight finished more nights than usual because many asked what sholawat what sholawat what, but seneng also because he could see the smiles of everyone in this magazine.
