For almost a month, Lisa never again came to see Rodeo at her house. Rodeo began to calm down and began to be busy with his private study with Pak Jacob. At the insistence of Mr. Jacob, Rodeo finally helped sell Betawi soto at the stall.
Rodeo started learning how to make money. By helping to sell Betawi soto, Rodeo increasingly understands how to trade and collect money from the benefits of trading. Not everything is as easy as imagined. During this time, the Rodeo always obtained anything easily. All the money, facilities, Rodeo can get just by making Lisa happy.
Now everything is like a story in a journey of his life. All the worldly pleasures he had ever felt did not calm himself. Rodeo is very grateful to be met by Silvi and Pak Jacob. It is possible that God had heard regret in his heart when anxiety, sadness, and loneliness in his heart when there was no God.
Increasingly the closeness between Rodeo and Silvi is like a friend who each complement each other and understand each other's shortcomings. Silvi became more excited when serving the Betawi soto stall run by his uncle.
With the right environment and the right friends will make a better change. With whom we hang out, it will affect our outlook in stepping. True friends do not lead us down the wrong path. He will direct and guide us to better things.
Rodeo began to diligently perform the five-time prayer service. Start learning to run the sunna fast. Rodeo felt everything he had done so far, far from being right. Every night, the Rodeo always increases the prayers of repentance and try not to repeat all actions that can harm himself.
People always try everything that is tempting. Especially when faced with abundant property. Not a few become negligent when they have a lot of treasures.
At the soto shop, Rodeo began to work diligently. In every effort and activity he intended to worship. Not only pursue the worldly but indeed humans need to connect life in this world.
" If you're tired, take a break from the Rodeo!" mr. Jacob said while concocting soto orders from some visitors who began to queue.
" It's okay, Om! Later if it is quiet can rest together" said Rodeo.
Silvi smiled at the conversation between her uncle and Rodeo. Silvi is busy making sweet iced tea and orange ice drinks according to the orders of visitors to the soto stall.
" Later if tired, do not have to learn to pay first Rodeo!" silvi Sahut.
" Uh! You little boy come - follow us both. About learning religion, can not give up because - because tired" said Mr. Jacob.
" Ice! Since when did uncle become this cruel?" silvi.
" It's all for the good of the Rodeo!" sahut Pak Jacob's.
" Yes, om! I'm happy to learn from Jacob!" Rodeo.
" uh! You heard it yourself, didn't you?" jacob said to Silvi.
" Heheh!" Silvi chuckled to herself.
" Today many visitors at our soto stalls yes uncle!" silvi.
" Yes Almighty! Tomorrow morning go with Rodeo to the parlour!" said Mr. Jacob.
" Bye! The rodeo! Tomorrow morning is busy. So can't go to the parlor with me uncle!" silvi said while glancing at Rodeo who started washing dishes - dirty dishes used by Soto.
" Uh? Who said it? I can do it tomorrow morning!" rodeo Sahut.
" Are you busy!" silvi.
" If together with you, any busy can be pursued loh Silvi!" said Mr. Jacob while looking at Rodeo who is still focused on washing dirty dishes and glasses.
" Yes, om! I'm glad I was in that place. Children's homes are so much fun." said Rodeo.
" It is!" sahut Pak Yakub while menoel Silvi's waist.
" Uncle!" shout Silvi.

After the Betawi soto shop was closed, Rodeo began to learn to teach with Pak Yakub. His reading has started well. His Tajwid reading has started to be correct. Silvi who rested and lay in his bedroom listened to the sound of Rodeo chanting the holy verses of the Qur'an. In his heart there began to be a sense of salute to the Rodeo. The persistence of Rodeo from the beginning can be thumbs up. His passion for learning the science of religion never subsided.
Finally, about an hour later, Jacob finished looking at the Holy Quran.
" Silvy!" call Mr. Jacob.
" Yes!" suhut Silvi while coming out of his room.
" Where is the coffee neng?" ask Mr. Jacob.
" His coffee is over uncle!" silvi.
" Astagfirullah! Why not buy into the stall from earlier." said Mr. Jacob.
" The shops are all closed!" silvi joked.
" Uncle's material shop!" sahut Silvi chuckled.
" You are it! I couldn't be serious!" said Mr. Jacob.
Rodeo who heard Silvi's joke so chuckled.
" I'll let you go home first! Ask permission to take Silvi for a moment, can you?" Rodeo.
" But it's ten o'clock in the night!" said Mr. Jacob worried.
Rodeo and Silvi looked at each other. Waiting for Jacob's reaction to let them out of the house.
" Where are you going?" ask Mr. Jacob.
" Want to take a walk and have dinner, Om!" Rodeo.
" But you have to take good care of Silvi, Rodeo! This Silvi if allowed to run rampant." said Mr. Jacob.
" Uncle! I was a good boy from a long time ago! Not arrogant and helpful." said Silvi.
" All right! Don't be a Rodeo for long!" mr. Jacob finally gave both men permission to leave the house.
Rodeo and Silvi finally get into Rodeo's car.
" Tomorrow - don't bring the car again, it's the Rodeo! Also take a walk." said Silvi.
" That's not papa once, is it?" rodeo Sahut
" Where are we going?" ask Silvi.
" Where to go!" Rodeo.
" Are you still hungry?" ask Silvi.
" Not really! I just want to take you on the road!" said Rodeo while glancing at Silvi.
" What's wrong with your eyes? Lyrics - my lyrics are unclear?" silvi the sok jutek.
" Silvy!" call Rodeo and stop the car by the side of the road.
" Yes! What was? Seriously very Rodeo." said Silvi began to be curious.
" I'll tell you about my life's journey with you!" Rodeo.
" Seriously very! Aboutwhat? Don't be sad - sad? I don't like sad stories the most" Silvi said.
" I was married once to a girl I liked, and during our marriage we had no children. Finally we agreed to adopt a boy from the hospital. Because of the mistake I made, I was in a relationship with another woman. And this is what blinded my eyes to divorce my wife." Rodeo's story began to break.
" Bye! Continues to? Why are you telling me this?" ask Silvi.
" Because I want you to know! My past and my ugliness!" Rodeo.
" Oh! Continue your story!" silvi.
" I like you now, Silvi! But you can reject me, after I tell you about my bad past" Rodeo said.
Silvi was surprised and suddenly fell silent to the words of Rodeo.
" I want to be serious with you, Silvi!" Rodeo.
" But my past, made me humble enough to start living with you" Rodeo said.
" Do you like me Silvi?" ask Rodeo.
Silvi just kept quiet and became awkward.
" Ah stop! No need to continue anymore! You don't like me anyway, do you?" rodeo said as he restarted his car and started running it.
Throughout the journey, the two became silent. No more jokes. Silvi is usually crowded and makes the atmosphere so quiet. I don't know what Silvi was thinking. But certainly, in Rodeo there is regret when expressing his feelings that resulted in the relationship between him and Silvi so stiff.
