No Love Does Not Mean Red Lights

Today is the first time that Niko and Ray have stayed in a school. Niko and Ray who are used to waking up today for the first time in his life must wake up in the morning to perform congregational dawn prayers at the pesantren.

Hendra one of the students who was there repeatedly knocked on the door of Niko and Ray's room to try to wake the two but both of them did not open the door.

"Assalamu'alaikum" said Abah

"Walaikumsalam bah" replied Hendra

"What is this hen? aren't they awake?"

"Yes bah, it looks like brother. Niko and Ray's brother are still sleeping" Hendra replied

"Astaghfirullah, yes have tried to be called again" said Abah

Several times called but it seems that Niko and Ray still did not give an authorization.

"How's this bah?" ask Hendra

"Yes, we've just stayed" Abah said, leaving Niko and Ray's room

***

"Hoam.. " Niko wriggled her legs over Ray's body and disturbed his sleep

"What the hell" Ray who was still sleepy with his eyes closed threw Niko's foot that overshadowed him

Feeling strange from hearing Ray's voice, Niko opened her eyes

"Woe wakes up, whoa, what time is it?" niko asked in shock to build Ray

"Em. what the hell is Nik, I'm still sleepy. It's still morning" said Ray with closed eyes and immediately opened his eyes when he realized now he was no longer home but was in the pesantren.

"Our campus, what time is it? the sun is clear again" said Niko

Ray scratched his head

"Yes, let's now shower us immediately to the mosque" said Niko down from the bed that is not too big but in this dipesantren himself must be various beds with Ray.

Finished bathing Niko and Ray who were wearing sarongs and also the pecans rushed to the mosque.

At the mosque there are some santri who are doing dhuha prayers, Niko and Ray smile happily because they think they are not too late for congregational dawn prayers.

Niko and Ray who have not been able to wudhu try to imitate the ablution movement of one of the santri who happens to be doing dhuha prayers.

Arriving at the mosque Niko and Ray look at each other to see the students pray without waiting for the imam.

"Ray, how do they pray by themselves? why not wait for the priest? the feeling from earlier I also have not heard the sound of Adhan" asked Niko to see Ray

"Yes too? I don't know if the prayer should wait for the Adhan then there will be a priest then is it?" said Ray scratching his head that does not itch

"Assalamu'alaikum"

"Walaikumsalam Abah, Om, aunt" said Niko and Ray replied Salutations

"This is why you guys are such gini confused?" ask Retno

"This aunt, we will pray at dawn. wait for the adzan first but they do not wait for the adhan first huh?" niko answered looking at the santri who was praying dhuha

"Humbb" Miss Retno and Mr. Herman held back a laugh, leaving Niko and Ray confused and looking at each other

"Haha.. Do you really not know the dawn prayer time?" asked Mr. Herman not strong enough to hold back laughter

"I've heard he said the dawn prayer that morning is like Om" said Niko

"And it seems I have also heard that the Adhan is still a bit dark so the sky. earlier I also had time to think what if here the dawn when the sun was already visible" said Ray

"Huft.. starting later at night if his room sleep is not locked. So when there will be santri who wake up for prayer you can wake up. because Abah and Hendra had repeatedly knocked on the door of your room but there was no answer. It seems you were too comfortable sleeping until you did not hear the sound of the Adhan" said Abah sighing deeply

"Sorry Abah, we-we didn't hear" Niko and Ray said

"It's okay, just slow down, InsyaAlloh as long as your intention and determination are strong, surely you will quickly understand how to pray and how to read the Quran" said Abah smiling. seeing these two young men Abah was happy, because there was a willingness to get better and get to know God.

"But honestly Om and aunty do not think you know, if you will really learn this dipesantren" said Mr. Herman

"We also want to go to heaven Om, we are afraid that if we die later, we go to hell. Danu says hell is hot. We're afraid of Om." Answer Ray

"MasyaAlloh we are happy to see your change" said Ms Retno

At Mr. Burhan's house

"Why has the house been coming home all night?" ask Mr. Burhan

"Mama has just been able to promote the position of reward, so mama must show the performance of mama pah" replied Devi

"Yes papa knows mama, if the mama just got a promotion.but mama also do not ignore the family dong ma! when are we gonna have kids if we keep busy?"

"Why talk about it again anyway pah? what if we don't have children? mama is not ready to have children.it will certainly be very troublesome. Papa will know that this mama is always busy.who will take care of our children if we have children? papa wants to take care of the kid?" said Miss Devi while cleaning her face in front of the mirror

"Yes mama dong who takes care of her, mama is her mother. Besides papa will have to help Danu take care of the company" said Mr. Burhan

"Tu right, nothing has been noisily.especially if you really have children, surely every day will be noisy continue.it is troublesome" muttered Bu Devi

"Aren't you also dong ma? are we not going to have children forever?"

"Wrong to not have children? what era is this pah? does every couple need a child? look at life abroad! many people decide not to have children, but do they enjoy it?"

"We are in Indonesia ma, not abroad" Mr. Burhan upset

"Where's the problem? be pah, do not make a fuss. mama tired want to sleep" said Bu Devi walked to the bed and put her body to sleep that felt tired

"Ma.. Tonight it may not be if papa_" said Mr. Burhan cut off

"That's the reward, don't talk! this mama is tired. tomorrow there is a meeting the same morning client." said Bu Devi

"I-iya ma, ta-but_"

"Good night" said Devi, pulling the blanket over her entire body and turning off the sleeping lights.

Mr. Burhan looked at his wife's tightly-covered body with a blanket and sighed harshly, disappointedly, Mr. Burhan laid his body beside his sleeping wife behind him.

At first glance Mr. Burhan recalled Danu's words about choosing a wife who would care for her husband but soon Mr. Burhan dispelled the thought.
