Zafran said to go back to the room, the young man did not go straight to sleep instead walked towards the balcony and looked at the sky. 'O Lord who turns back the hearts of men, set this heart to your right choice, I surrender to all the possibilities that will come.' Inner begged. Zafran has decided to meet Billa tomorrow, because he believes Billa must be asleep by now.

Elsewhere, Shafik and Rahman had just completed evening classes filled with Madinah Sheikhs connected via projectors facilitated by their campuses. Campus-based such as pesantren has scored many reliable da'i to be sent to various parts of the country to spread Islamic sharia. Actually shafik has a big dream to be able to participate in spreading sharia like his level brothers who have been sent by the campus. But that intention was paused when remembering a name that had been in his heart for a year.
"Friday next week insyaallah there is a schedule to call, who will you call ?"
"Billa, I'm waiting for the answer. "
"I hope that answer makes you excited about studying here, man"
Syafik did not answer Rahman's words, he just smiled and patted his best friend's shoulder.
"What about Ara ?"
"I don't know, she's on the girls' college. I wish she would wait for me and not accept any man who tries to ask for her."
"May our hope be heard by the owner of the heart, in fact only the owner of the soul and soul is able to make our wishes come true. So what we have to tighten is our do'a of that hope" said shafik as he stepped into the room.
Rahman followed his friend and put down the pen and book he had brought with him while studying at night.
"Later at night there is a rote that we have to pursue, as usual how about we memorize in the mosque" Rahman said staring at his friend who was taking off his top shirt and replacing it with a t-shirt to sleep. Syafik just nodded and went up to the top bed.
Rahman and Shafik one dorm, their bed even a bunk bed. Rahman chose to wear the lower bed while the shafik chose the upper one. In the room was not only the two of them but there were other friends who also occupied the room. One dormitory room occupied by six different students majoring. No one holds a cell phone, if it is found to hide the favorite flat objects of a million people, then there is no tolerance to punish the student with DO punishment. In fact, they all have to stabilize the value so that the value of the courses taken meets the standards that apply on the campus, if it does not qualify, if it does not qualify, then the campus will announce the name of the remedial student and repeat the exam. Only one chance to improve the value, if still failed to qualify then the DO penalty applies to them. No wonder many students who desperately memorize and learn midnight repeat the material conveyed by the sheikhoh who teach directly from the country of the middle east. Almost all students after performing the tahajud prayer they do not continue their sleep, they actually flocked to a place that they felt comfortable and calm to review the material and memorize the memorization that was being learned. Indeed, when he has tasted the sweetness of knowledge, he will feel the relentless thirst for knowledge. The higher one's knowledge, the lower and the smaller one's self is. Like a rice that is ready to harvest he is low, not standing upright like an arrogant person.

In a small, comfortable room, a girl was solemnly wrapped in a mukena and humming the mushaf reading she was holding and bowing full of seduction. Billa repeated what she had memorized in her cottage. The girl did not feel her drowsiness again after carrying out two rakaat tahajud and one rakaat witirnya. While waiting for dawn, he used to repeat the memorization.

Ding.
"Zafran, how are you ?"
An incoming message read by the owner of the phone made him frown and check who sent him a message at almost dawn. The man checked the number and saw the profile of wa which showed a Muslim woman so graceful and beautiful. 'Astaghfirullah' inner. The man did not reply to her, but instead directly blocked the woman's number.
"Well what else he is, should be ashamed to call me after leaving without an explanation. Where are the veins of shame" he said stirring.
.
Morning came, today Billa has two courses. Since dawn, he has had an appointment with Ratna to do his college work making papers in the central library. They deliberately worked there because they could immediately pick up a bountiful reference book in the library. After attending the first course for approximately ninety minutes, the two immediately left the class and walked towards the perpus.
"Tomorrow you're the one who advanced the presentation in the child psychology course huh ?"
"Hem, it's been a long time since I joined the paper but my group advanced last" said Billa.
"No papa just wants to do it together, so understand all. Not rich my group at the end of stupid days can explain me doang boo" replied Ratna grumbling along the way.
"Good for this course we are one group, so it's good to do it together"
Both of them have sat at the perpus table and started removing the laptop that has been prepared from the boarding house. Billa then looked for a reference book to start working on the paper tasks that had been waiting for him.
"Rat, you mending here anyway, keep the laptop later change the nyari of the book" Ratna did not answer but nodded her head and gave a thumbs up one to answer Billa. Ratna and Billa are still in the early semester, new students are actively working on assignments from lecturers. Start working on various papers from different courses that are divided for each sub. Some are done as independent tasks and many are done must be in groups. Billa who is actually not from public school makes it a little must learn extra to try to compensate for the tasks he receives. While both are busy each with Billa who is dictating the book that is the source of the theory and Ratna who is typing on the laptop, he said, suddenly a young man sat down before them while putting his laptop down as well and smiling towards Billa.
