Idol Nanny
A third of the night,

"I'm happy, Mas. Thank you for changing for our son. I love you guys so much. Hope this never changes, Mom. Keep teaching kindness to our son,"

Instantly Benny opened his eyelids after returning from dreamland. His breath was like he had just finished running. He changed position to sit leaning on the headboard of the bed while adjusting his breathing.

"Nurma, you are coming again" he murmured with a still-hunting breath.

The father of Elzayin tried to remember the beautiful dream he had just experienced. It feels like real how the warmth will come from Nurmala. The beautiful face of Elzayin's mother looked happy. In fact, the woman left a friendly kiss on the cheek before Benny regained consciousness from the dream.

"May you always be happy by His side, my wife. Don't worry about Elza, I will definitely give everything for our son" Benny muttered after opening the still-on-the-night photo album.

Long enough Benny looked at the pretty face stored there and after that, he got off his bed. Benny wanted to see Elza in his room because last night the little boy refused when Benny was invited to sleep one room. Elza quibbled if she wanted to sleep alone in the room.

The footsteps of the handsome widower echoed on the second floor. He swung a step towards his son's room and after arriving in front of the room, Benny slowly opened the door of the room, to make sure that his son was in good shape.

"Well, it's empty" Benny murmured after seeing the bed there uninhabited, "where is he? Did he move to Fina's room?" Benny tried to guess where his son was.

Benny decides to go down to the first floor, in addition to making sure that if Elza is in Fina's room, she feels thirsty. Of course in the silence of the night, the sound of the footsteps of the widower of one child echoed there.

"But ... How do I make sure Elza's in Fina's room?" benny muttered after arriving at the kitchen. He was worried because he was afraid of interrupting the girl's rest, considering that it was still two in the morning.

Benny turned his gaze after hearing the sound of the door opening. A perfect coincidence, when the widower of one child saw Fina come out of the room.

"Why is Mr Ben here in the kitchen, sir? Want sahur?" greet Fina after she reached the kitchen.

"No, Fin. I'm going to have a drink" Benny said, pressing the blue button on the dispenser, "i'm actually looking for Elza because she's not in her room," clearly the widower of one child before gulping water in the clear glass.

"He's in my room, sir. A few minutes ago she moved into my room because she couldn't sleep well" Fina said, pointing to her closed room.

"Did I just move Elza in my room, Fin, let's not interrupt your break?" benny asked without taking his eyes off the pretty face of his daughter's nanny.

"No need, sir. Just leave Elza in my room. He just slept well, sir. But I want to stay in prayer first" explained Fina.

"Sholate? Is it dawn, right?" Benny circulated the view to ascertain the wall clock that was in the kitchen.

"Sholat sunnah, sir. Tahajud," replied Fina.

"Emmm .. Can we talk to you for a second? We'd better sit in the dining room" point Benny towards the dining room.

"What do you want to talk about?" fina asked without further ado so that this precious time would not be wasted.

"Why do you pray sunnah? Is there something interesting about tahajud prayer so you are willing to wake up at a time like this? Wouldn't it be more comfortable to sleep under a thick blanket?" benny asked without taking a look from the beautiful face that was bowed.

Fina developed her thin smile after hearing the question. He could judge if Benny was being serious this time. The father of Elzayin looked resolute and authoritative when he was talking seriously like this.

"I can not explain what are the interesting things about tahajud prayer. One thing is for sure, I performed the sunnah prayer because there I felt a great peace. I can get all my heart out to God at times like these. If Mr. Ben wants to know the secret behind tahajud, better Mr. Ben sowan to ndalem Kyai," explained Fina while looking at Benny for a moment.

Benny was stunned after hearing the explanation. He was full because all this time he was very far from religious things. In fact, his five-time obligation was often forgotten.

"Does Allah accept the tahajud prayer of a servant who often leaves the five-time prayer, Fin?" ask Benny.

"I don't know, sir, because whether or not the prayer of a people is the secret of God. We can only follow through on that order. Whether it is accepted or not because as human beings, we do not have the authority to determine it" Fina said in polite words and penetrated into the heart.

"What if I want to pray tahajud but I don't know what the readings are?" ask Benny again.

"Father can learn it in the prayer guidebook for a while. I have the book, if you want, you can learn it. But it is much better if you learn directly to ustadz or religious figures who understand about tahajud prayer," said Fina with a sweet smile.

"God always opens the door of forgiveness to his servant who repents, sir. No matter how wrong we are, if we are still willing to repent, then God opens the door of his forgiveness from all directions," said Fina to end this discussion, "I go back first, sir, sir, because the time is not much else," said Fina before leaving in front of Benny.

There was such a great tremor in the heart of the widower of one child after hearing the long explanation from Fina. He felt like a very bad guy because he was too far away from religious affairs.

"You're the perfect woman in my eyes, Fin. I'm even more confident that you can lead me into a better life than before" Benny muttered in a soft voice as he stared at Fina's departure.

A few minutes later, she saw Fina coming out of the bathroom and into the place of worship near the kitchen. Benny decided to leave the dining room. He walked to the place of worship to see whatever Fina was doing there.

"Someday I want to pray with you. Be a good priest for you and your children. After this I will definitely improve myself to be worthy of being your priest, Fin, "benny's inner self when observing Fina who was praying in that room.
