After the two finished dinner at different times, Bayu immediately forgot their discussion earlier and focused on working in his room. While Ica, he tried to go straight to sleep, but even thought Bayu speech.
"Udah learned the science of marriage, but even denied the words of the husband. What am I doing for the right reasons? Do you just want to make Mas Bayu understand what I feel like? Isn't that revenge? Since when have I been this vengeful? Yes Rabbi..., what servant of vengeance? Keep that nature in the servant," inner Ica while preaching a lot. He does have a bit of an element of revenge, but he begs to be kept away from real grudges and focus on the main goal, which is to improve his competence.
To get around her sleepless self, Ica took her phone to look at social media. It is not yet time to sleep at this hour.
"Love and hate are different. The person you love is always in your heart, the person you hate is always on your mind. And Allah is All-Turning over the hearts of men." Suddenly a quote that Ica read so attracted her heart and so relatable to her current self that she doubted whether she hated or loved Bayu.
"Ca, you're missing. What did you do to your husband? You yourself have benefited feelings that you think you hate to act rudely with your husband. That's enough, if you take revenge, that's enough. The time is also the same, you are secretly not loved and treated badly for three months, already three months also you reply Bayu with the same treatment and show your hatred to Bayu. If this is indeed revenge, then it is enough to get here, you are already breakeven. Your hateful feelings for Bayu are just a misunderstanding of the heartache of Bayu honestly admitting he loves another woman. You cannot hate Bayu. Aye, right?" the mind of Ica speaks.
Why could it be like this just because Bayu said that Bayu needs Ica? This side of Ica is so weak with Bayu's unusual treatment, which simultaneously touches his heart. He could not even conclude how he should behave after Bayu said with a gaze full of honesty and a loud voice if Bayu needed Ica.

At night, it was time for Bayu to wake up to perform tahajud. He woke up alone and would pray alone. Ica definitely do not want to pray. Bayu initially chose to assume it was common and had become the choice of Ica. However, the more here, he felt that husband and wife should perform congregational prayers. Bayu also felt not like a full priest if he had never prayed Ica for three months.
Want Bayu directly perform prayer after taking ablution water. However, Ica suddenly also woke up and threw her prayer tools behind Bayu who was already standing on his alphabet.
Bayu, he tried to interpret the meaning of Ica. He thought, Ica will also join the tahajud prayer with him even though Ica did not directly say that. So, he would wait for Ica to finish taking the new ablution he started his prayer.
Then Ica came and put up her face. Hold history behind Bayu, just as he would perform congregational prayer with Bayu.
"Do you want me to imami?" tanya Bayu made sure. He just doesn't want to misunderstand.
They also pray with great service. End the prayer with awward. Ica is already wanted to be imitated by Bayu, but he has not been able to greet Bayu as well and receive a kiss from Bayu.
Bayu doesn't bother about it. He knows everything needs a process. Just like this was already a great progress for their relationship.
"Will I wake up tomorrow to pray tahajud?" ask Bayu after tidying up his prayer equipment. Ica shut up for a moment. Then take the Quranic mushaf on the nightstand and read it. Surah Al-Waqiah is the destination. Indirectly, Ica also said that she would participate in the next tahajud prayer with Bayu.
Bayu who is more accustomed to going to sleep immediately after performing the tahajud prayer, feels slapped with the attitude of prayer shown by the wife. All this time he was like that because he prioritized his work. He does not want if he feels lack of sleep, his performance will decrease, his productivity is also reduced. Although he was not like that in the next day of work holiday, still he was more united work than worship to his god. In fact, obviously he had quite a lot of time before dawn came.
Bayu again took the sarong and the pecinya. Then, he went out of the room to his study to read the Qur'an mushaf there, filling the time before dawn. His eyes also became fresh after reading some short surahs there. He wants to change the habit of doing this every day, not just when he is off work in the future.
Until dawn arrived. Bayu did depart before the adhan from home, as he walked to the mosque. He also enjoyed leisurely walking towards the mosque in order to breathe the distinctive fresh air of dawn. So, he does not need to be afraid of being late.
"Lho, there's warm tea. Bi Ana did it?" Bayu who just returned from the mosque was surprised because not usually warm tea is on the table at this hour. Once fit, he went to the kitchen also wanted to make a warm sweet tea.
"Yes, Den. He was told to do it with Non Ica. He said the tea was for Den Bayu. Bibi has also made his share of Non Ica, really, so, Aden do not worry about it, said Non Ica. Well, please drink, Den. Aunty wants to take a shower and get ready for work, too" replied Bi Ana.
Bayu. Although not made directly by Ica, but Ica has clearly shown his attention. Bayu was surprised and happy with the attitude of Ica like this transition season. Then, he thought for a moment. Is this Ica's way of bribing Bayu so that Bayu sincerely accepts Ica who will stop being her secretary? But why is there a bribe? If Ica had asked for it and said the decision was also for Bayu's sake, there would be no reason to ban Ica. After all, Ica also showed his attention to Bayu there, although the way Ica conveyed was not like a person who cared.
"How about the office? Is there any more attention like this?" Bayu guessed with a feeling of pleasure.
