"Do you not want to have a lover from a human nation like Bima?" James is getting closer. Anima swallowed the hard-earned saliva in the gaze so intensely by the man who from the first sight had already made her heart tremble violently.

"I don't want to. I prefer men to my own people. No complicated, no need to bother going back and forth to the human world that I think tired and far away,"

"So many challenges with humans, differences and you know, we're from a different world, too,"

"We are the Jin people, brother. Although from the Muslim Jin, but we still can not relate to those who are not our nation, it seems to me, anyway," Anima commented with a flat smile, he turned around and walked slowly away from James.

"Where are you going, Anima?" sergeant James followed in the footsteps of the pink hijab girl.

"Didn't James hear? it was the voice of the Adhan so loud it sounded, I had to pray immediately,"

"Here?"

Anima chuckled at James's words just now. He also shook slowly.

"Yes, it's not on the side of the road either, James. Around here there is a mosque. James wants to come?" take Anima with a sincere smile.

James' heart trembled at Anima's invitation. He withered for a moment remembering himself who rarely prayed. Everyday her work is just relaxing and also thinking about Rena. He forgot the obligation to the Creator.

"Come on, it's not good to delay prayer time" Anima's soft voice was hypnotic to James. He nodded and followed Anima. Drive to the mosque.

A few minutes later, it turned out that the mosque referred to Anima was not so far from the bridge.

James was amazed by the shape of the mosque in the middle of the city. It is very big with many domes on it. Golden yellow mosque with architecture like a mosque in a very magnificent Arab country like a royal palace. In the courtyard of the mosque deliberately sprinkled sand to make it look like a palace in the middle of the desert. It is amazing and pleasing to the eyes.

...

...

James stepped slowly into the courtyard of the mosque. His legs trembled a little because long time never entered the place of worship of Muslims.

Anima had a glance and reviewed a bitter smile. It would seem that the man next to him was nervous.

"Sir James, that's the man's water grabbing spot there, I'm going to the woman's ablution place first, yeah. Later I wait for Brother James there," Anima pointed at the golden yellow floor of the mosque. James just nodded, he followed Anima's words and set foot toward the male-only ablution.

Sparks and streams of fresh, soothing ablution water made the lara in James' heart slowly disappear. Rena's shadow seemed to be temporarily closed. James became more relaxed and could breathe normally as usual.

James entered the mosque hall filled with Asma Allah and exquisite calligraphy. Above the many crystal lights scattered.

James glanced at the girl who was smiling sweetly at him as he accidentally passed a female saf. The girl looked beautiful with a purple face patterned with cherry blossoms.

James smiled back and continued to move his feet towards the male line. Participate in the congregational prayer that he has long left behind.

Time went by so fast, that James realized he had been a few hours in the mosque. He forgot that the girl must have been waiting for him in the mosque courtyard.

Gegas James got up and ran small towards the courtyard of the Mosque. His eyes were moving around. Looking for the whereabouts of the girl who all day accompanied her footsteps.

"Huffft," James sighed harshly, deeply regretting why he forgot.

James leaned his body against the outside wall of the mosque. Looking at the beautiful city of Uwentira from where it stands. The city center is behind the tranquility of the mosque. Highly contrasted and inversely proportional.

Tap-tap-tap!

The sound of footsteps approaching him made James immediately also turned his gaze toward the figure of the owner of the footsteps.

"Ma-sorry, Anima. I was too comfortable in the mosque to forget that you were waiting outside" James said.

"Yes, I should be angry, brother. I waited three hours, but nothing. Stay forgiven," Anima commented on her genuine smile.

James breathed a sigh of relief.  He also returned Anima's smile sweetly.

"When do you want to go home or eat?" bargain James.

"Go home, Brother. The day is approaching magrib, I am afraid of family cariin" said Anima slowly.

James nodded slowly and followed Anima out of the mosque and walked hand in hand to the cafe where James' motorcycle was parked.

Once there, Anima immediately got on the bike and James immediately rode his bike as fast as possible to the house of the sweet hijab girl who patiently waited.

The gate opened and a beautiful woman stood welcoming Anima's arrival at her house.

"James? Anime?" the beautiful woman who turned out Indri stared at the astonished arrival of Anima and James who came together. Where's rena?

"I'm sorry, Mrs Indri" James said.

"Thank you, Brother James has brought me home" Anima said. His face was met with red staring at James's face which began to shine again.

"Yes, you're welcome" James said. The man turned around and wanted to leave immediately, but Anima's voice forced him to stop.

"Wait, Brother,"

Anima stepped closer to James. He reached into the bag and picked up a piece of paper and a pen. Write something on paper and give it to James.

"Open at home, yes," sweet smile on her pink lips. James nodded and walked away.

Indri and Anima entered once James' back was not visible at the end of the eye.

"Dek, where's Rena? how are you two James?" search Indri. He begins to suspect seeing the waves of Anima who is like people are in love.

"Rena's home, sister," she replied briefly as she continued to step into the room.

"Come home?"

"Yes, go home,"

"Trus why are you James? just two?" Indri continued to follow the steps of his sister-in-law into the room.

"Yes, I met Brother James in the cafe, by accident,"

Degh's!

Indri smelled the smells of romance on Anima. He doesn't like it when his sister falls in love. It read clearly in his mind how Anima praised James' good looks and kindness.

However, he knew very well James' love for Rena. Also Rena. Indeed Indri did not know what really happened to them, but Indri knew it would not be easy for James to forget Rena just like that. Anima's fear is just a runaway. He was just afraid Anima was hurt.

"I'm an adult, brother. There is no need for Indri to worry about me" Anima said in an emphatic voice. He was upset because Indri was too involved with his life.

"Not so, Deck. Mean Brother...,"

"Already, Brother. I'm tired, I'm gonna take a break,"

Indri nodded and stepped out of Anima's room. In his heart he regretted the attitude of his sister who did not heed his words. He was afraid there would be a tempest. The love tempest between James, Rena and Anima.
