(pov Eli)

"el, when do we play to nana yok's house.." take rini.

"yes." I replied

Rini and I really enjoyed chatting with nana. Not only is she beautiful, kind, and smart, she is also a good listener. He can always give us input earlier, and not impose his thoughts/wills on us.

.

.

His name is Uswatun Hasannah. Commonly called Nana. 5 years ago kak nana received a scholarship at one of the leading universities of cairo, egypt. Al Azhar University's.

Kak Nana chose the Islamic religious education department. The main reason is because he wants to deepen/know more about the religion of Islam, because in Indonesia today many who claim Islam but do not know what is islam.

And again information communication at this time is still in development, (1988). There is already a phone, but only the business people/officers/people who have a respected. Incidentally because I have a songket cloth business, (and can be said to be a businessman who introduces songket to the outside world) then in my house there is one phone...

In addition, sister Nana has a very noble mind in my opinion. He wants to teach 'islam' to all citizens in Indonesia. Well even nana has to start small first. Like the neighborhood around where he lived, the city of Palembang.

As Nana said to me and Rini...

(the flashback)...

"this... really nana?"

"gener's dong! How are you el? I've been a long time" said sister Nana to hug me

"well, brother, thank God." I kissed sister nana's hand

"alhamdulillah, oh yes, brother has heard from ummi and abah, sorry el.."

"yes, thank you."

"already dong... Don't be sad anymore.. Ulululu" entertain nana's sister pinching my cheek.

"oh, sister, eli is not a little girl"

"hahaha, yes. Where's rini el? Tumben tuh son nongol nongol"

"there's brother, in dalem. He's cooking the cake. Eli call first yes, brother sit down first" I said passed away.

"sister Nanaaaaa.." pekik rini ran hugging nana.

Kak nana and Rini have been very familiar since long ago. Rini loved sister nana very much, and so did sister nana who really wanted to have a sister, but never sameness. Because sister nana's an only child.

"getter! It's big now." said sister nana in between their arms.

"yes dong!" rini was very excited

"oh yes brother, rini make a cake... Wanna?" tannya

"want dongg"

"yeah, brother and sister just wait here, rini back to the dalem again" he said immediately running.

Just me and Nana there. We chatted as usual. Up to 15 minutes later, Rini comes out with a nice looking cake that she carries. Without waiting for long, we immediately ate it.

"heemm, so good rin! You open a cake shop, it's definitely a sell-out!" comment from nana

"hehehe, who was... Rini gitulohh" replied songong.

"uh yes, sister, how is school? In egypt good?" rini asked enthusiastically

"emm delicious not good, sometimes delicious sometimes not... That's rin"

"keep it up, Eli asked. People there like to wear long clothes, right? Like my brother's shirt now... You see, if in Palembang it's hot, kak.." I asked.

I've been curious since then with the style of kak nana dress. Kak nana wears a shirt that extends to the feet and a medium headscarf, not too long or short, with a cloth that covers the face. And kak nana also wears socks, so only her eyes and palms are visible.

"ohh, not all of you wear gini... This is the right way to dress for us women... Closing the aurat, not tight, not transparent, and does not resemble the opposite sex.

'O son of Adam, We have sent down to you clothes to cover your law and beautiful clothes for jewelry.'

The word Allah in the Qur'an Surah Al A'raf [7]: 26.

From this verse God is rightly calling us to close the aurat. The male's aura is between the navel and the knee, and if the female is all parts of the body except the face and palms...

as the Prophet said: o Asma', indeed a woman if it had been (already puberty), could not have been seen from her except this and ini”, he pointed at her face and the two hands themselves. (Hadist narration of Abu Daud no 41440). And this one is called the veil.. "

Obviously, sister Nana,

"ohh.mr... The aura is a part of the body that should not be shown to someone, right?.... Well, we can show that aurat to who?" ask rini.

"hemp. Gini rin's... We can show it to our families and our mahroms. Like, for example, your husband later, your great-grandchildren, fathers-siblings, grandparents, and others..."

"then then.. Means we have not been veiled all this time is the same as not keeping aurat huh sak?" ask rini again. I myself just silently heard the explanation from sister nana. Talking about religion is interesting to me..

"yes rin... It really is.."

"bentar kak.. means el sama kak vero, even though it's like the family is still not mahrom huh sak? And eli should be veiled in front of kak vero?" my many.

"if eli and vero are dependent... Because Mahrom means a man we cannot marry because of heredity, marriage, and marriage in Islamic law...

Nahh eli same vero sister, right? If seinget brother is not yes.. Try later eli ask nek ijah aja"

"yes sister..."
