" Learn from yesterday and live for today, and hope for tomorrow." Aldo said to Lala.
" Sometimes I think I can lead a happy life like I did when I was with Daffi."
"Never hope that your way of life will be like the way of others. The journey of life you have is something unique, just like you."
Lala smiled at Aldo.
" Thank you for being by my side and making me realize that love doesn't have to be. Enough to be remembered in the heart and see her loved one living a happy life."
" Focus on achieving your goals, despite the many interesting things on your journey.No matter how hard life has been in the past, you can always start over."
" Yes you're right." Lala.
Aldo then invited Lala to come home because the day had begun at night.
While they were on their way home, Lala accidentally saw Daffi and Viona in Aini's orphanage.
The road to Lala's house indeed passes through Aini orphanage which is very strategic location.
" Daffi, why are you here?" Ask Lala.
Aldo pulled his car over and looked at the orphanage, where Daffi was cleaning the courtyard of the house that seemed to be building a tent.
" Do you want to stop by?" Ask Aldo.
"I want to, but my clothes..." Lala said while looking at her short clothes.
Aldo smiled and then invited Lala to go to one of the Muslim clothing stores.
" What do we want?"
" Fix your clothes, don't you feel uncomfortable with your clothes while you want to meet Daffi." Said Aldo with a smile.
Aldo invites Lala to choose a game that he likes.
Lala's choice fell on the robe with a combination of gray and black.
Lala shows her to Aldo, and Aldo smiles and hints for Lala to try her out.
Shortly after, Lala came out in Muslim clothes.
" Uhuk...." Aldo who was drinking while waiting for Lala to change clothes of course choked to see Lala's much prettier appearance with covered clothes.
" What's up?" Ask Lala
" No, you'd rather use that."
Lala turned around and looked back at her reflection in the mirror.
Lala confirmed what Aldo had just said.
She looks more elegant in a Muslim dress.
" If you want to have more than one outfit like this, take it as you like." Said Aldo with a smile.
Lala then smiled and picked out some clothes and invited Aldo home.
" Why come home, aren't we going to see Daffi?"
" No, I changed my mind we should just go home because I wasn't ready to see her."
" Why?"
" I'm ashamed."
" Because you dress like this?" Aldo asked, and Lala nodded.
" It is precisely this change of yours that will make Daffi happy. Didn't he tell you to dress like this?. After all we will not know what Daffi is doing here unless we go to him and ask. And I saw Viona too."
Lala fell silent.
" Yes, how about tonight you come with me to fulfill the invitation."
" You'll know later.."
At night, Lala was a little confused when Aldo turned his car into an orphanage where there were already several tents and a small stage.
Aldo walked first, while Lala walked behind Aldo.
" Aldo, thank you for coming." Daffa.
" Of course, how come I didn't come in an official invitation sent directly to me?"
" And who's coming with you?" Ask Daffa.
Lala then shifted slightly to be next to Aldo.
" God, Lala. I'm sorry I didn't recognize you in this outfit."
Lala bowed.
"Hijab can encourage you and make you a better Muslim and a believer. Hope it's useful in the future." Daffa said with a smile and invited Aldo and Lala to come in.
Daffi met Aldo and he was just as surprised as Daffa when he saw Lala.
" Hijab is an obligation for every Muslim, because Allah has said that every Muslim woman in the world must close her aurat. Thank God you finally want to be hijabed and it is thanks to Aldo." Said Daffi while patting Aldo on the shoulder.
The event began, Lala finally understood that Devi was there to help take care of the orphanage that had tarnished her good name because it was also from her mother and her two brothers.
Lala then saw Aini who waved to her.
Lala smiled and walked over to Aini.
" Aini, can you recognize me?" Ask Lala.
"Sister, the Sun does not lose its beauty when it is covered in clouds. Neither will your beauty fade when you wear the Hijab."
Lala blushed in embarrassment, Aini smiled.
" I'm still not used to it, how can you get used to clothes like this?" ask Lala
"It's not just Hijab, it's our key to heaven. God raised your dignity through the Hijab. When a stranger sees you, he will respect you, because he sees that you can respect yourself"
"Why should Muslim women wear hijab? Because their beauty is reserved for their husbands, not for everyone." Aini.
Lala looked towards Aldo.
Could it be that Aldo and I will be a married couple like Viona and Daffi who will soon have a marriage?.
" Hey, what are you thinking?" Ask Aini.
" Nothing."
Aini then invites Lala to enjoy the food and join with Viona, Nina and Yuli.
Lala initially hesitates, but then Lala feels comfortable because they all really look like talking to a brother.
"A woman who closes the aurat is like a pearl in its shell. No need to be ashamed because the clothes are already much more covered than before." Saying Aini to me she escorted Lala home, and Lala looked down when she met her friends who happened to pass by and saw Lala.
"Sisters, someday your bodies will all be covered from head to toe (wrapped in a shroud). Let not your last day on earth be your first day wearing the Hijab." Aini said as if giving an idea that Lala should not feel doubt about the changes she took.
"I veiled not because I had become good or good. But this is a way for me to be a good devout Muslim and a good prayer because all this time I have been far from the teachings of Islam." Lala.
"Hijab is the beginning of the repairs. Be wise while continuing to improve your heart and behavior. Hijab is not just for women who are good at their religion. Hijab is also not only for women who are good at teaching. But the hijab is an obligation to all women who claim to be Muslim."
" Thank you Aini, I should have known you earlier so I could better myself."
" It's never too late to start changing." Say Aini with a smile.
