The Power of a Prayer
Befriend With Marissa

"Do you really love Dhani?" Ask Marissa again.

"As in general people are dating" I said.

"I hope you don't play Dhani, because he's a real man who won't look at any woman" I don't know why Marissa spoke like that. "I love it but it feels like you can't fight, so you love it with all your heart. I won't bother you again I realize I'll never reach out to her" she continued.

"Huh?" I just stared in wonder, why did Marissa speak like that. "Is this a trap?" My inner. He too often made me emotional, made this heart hard and always prejudiced against him.

"Yes, I'm serious. I still can't reach him. Happy are you chosen by Dhani."

"You don't want to try it again?"

"I would only hurt my own feelings if that happened. I surrendered. I want to make us new to know and be friends."

"What's? He's asking me to be friends? I didn't hear wrong, did I?" My mind, looking at him deeply.

"If you don't want to be friends with me then be someone who doesn't know. I'm tired of ta'zir and will make our grades worse."

"Okey, if you want to be friends with me."

"Thank you Nera" Marissa hugged me, with a slight hesitation I patted her back slowly. "Don't worry with my self."

"Yes, I'll try" I said.

"Well, that's so cute. Not only ketos and secretaries who always throw garbage" chirped Anissa without sin.

"Hehee" Marissa chuckled.

I just smiled then opened the incoming message on the phone.

[Well, it's so peaceful that the princess dormitory]

The incoming message from Dhani, it turns out that she was watching me from the window.

I just smiled at him without returning a message from him.

As per the Teletubbies scene with Marissa I returned to the room. Soon ashar and will be conducted learning together in the park.

Though many other participants have been carrying books from earlier, and we will only learn after ashar before night we use to rest and open the book at a glance.

My agenda after prayers isya will also go straight to sleep. Tomorrow after dawn just read it. Hopefully tomorrow our school can escape and go to the district.

Marissa Pov

"Allah, God, I have made up with Nera. It turned out that he immediately accepted me into a friend. It's not in vain that I prepared this week to approach Nera. Until I forget to apologize" I smiled remembering my nervousness in front of Nera.

"Sa, why are you smiling like that?" Just this time Nera rebuked me with a smile.

"It's okay I'm just happy" I put my face on the available nightstand, we just finished the ashar congregation.

"Hopefully happy always?"

"Yes Ra, thank you."

"Come to the park, Mother Father's guidance counselor is in front" shouted Anissa as she exited the room carrying a book. " I'm waiting in front of ya" he continued.

"Yes" I replied along with Nera.

For some reason after making up with Nera the burden on the heart was greatly reduced. Breath also feels light. My heart is clearly happy. My one hope, I hope I get a better soul mate than Dhani.

"Aamiiin O God" my inner. I can't escape this happy smile.

We walked with Nera, and Dhani was always beside Nera. I brushed off this jealousy so that my friendship wouldn't crack with Nera again.

...***...

There was a sense of relief after Marissa said the word friendship.

"There's a new one" whispered Dhani.

"It's normal" I said.

"At least I can say hello without having to be indifferent anymore, he will no longer have feelings for me."

"Basically yes, his father was a crocodile!" I hit Dhani's waist hard before she ran away laughing.

"Just be happy Ra" said Marissa.

"It's a habit for Sa, it just seems so happy."

"You're lucky."

"Hopefully as you thought."

Arriving at the park, we focus on each subject. The guidance teachers just sit while watching and answering every question that is not understood. But between us there is nothing to ask.

No time shows seventeen hours less twelve minutes west Indonesia time. We went back to our rooms to clean ourselves and prepare Maghrib pilgrims.

While waiting for the Maghrib I wanted to call Mom, it's been a long time since there's been any news.

In the first ring directly picked up by Mother.

"Wa'alaikumsalam Nduk, how are you?"

"Thank God be healthy, Mother how are you. Everything is healthy, right?"

"Alhamdulillah. Again where this is to bring hp does not seem to be in the dorm."

"In the District of Bu, tomorrow's the lamb."

"Just whoever leaves."

"Hello Mother, I'm Marissa. Mom's so young" Marissa approached without asking.

"Hello son, you guys are fine there."

"Yes Ma'am, pray that you win, ma'am" Marissa still talked to Mom, let them get acquainted.

"Yes, my boy, who's the lamb."

"Sama Mbak Anissa Sama Dhani too. Dhani's friend Nera from Borneo."

"There is also Dhani anyway, who got along there yes son do not like to be born. Does Nera like fighting?"

"No ma'am, Nera's a good boy."

"Thank God he's good. Where's Nera son?"

"Yes Ma'am" I took my phone from Marissa.

"Marissa's your best friend, isn't Nduk?"

"Yes Mom. We're best friends even though she's been with Mira more days than any of my other friends."

"Who are you with if not Marissa?"

"More when I introduce you, same Ida and Rani. Same with Dahlia."

"Yes, it's a long time ago, Nduk I was busy in the stall. Many Mothers want to shop."

"Okay ma'am, I'm greeting ya."

"Yes, I'll tell you later. Yes, yes, assalamualaikum."

"Wa'alaikumsalam warrohmatullahi wabarokatuh" I hung up.

It was good to hear the news if they were healthy. Not my mind here.

The Maghrib Adhan. We are preparing for the Maghrib.

After the Maghrib in the dinner. While waiting for the time isya I paid for a moment.

On the terrace of the mosque, Marissa and I sat down and enjoyed the night breeze. It was so cold, stars were also present adorning the sky tonight.

"Nera, I'm sorry I'm too much wrong with you" Marissa suddenly said.

"Yes, I've forgiven you a long time."

"Oh, huh? Thank you very much yes. I'm glad you don't have a grudge with me."

"Yes are the same."

"Beloved night" Dhani comes over.

"Night too" we said in unison.

"Oh, my darling all this" he said as he winked his right eye at me.

"Basic, crocodile."

"Elaah, this handsome gini in say crocodile. There's just you."

"Eat him don't like ganjen. You want to be Fian's successor?"

"Obviously not anyway, I don't want to get hit by a football and go to the hospital."

"Astaghfirullah, still remember his appearance" I shook my head.

"Eat him has a fierce bini do not like the spread of charm" Anissa said.

This time Marissa just smiled listening to us kidding. Turned more graceful. But my mind became negative again. Is that the next trick to get Dhani.

Because of my previous behavior, it was still difficult to change the way I thought towards a positive direction. I hope he is sincere about changing.

"No, I just said hello. Another thing if you spread the charm."

"It's up to you, what matters is that you're happy."

Adzan isya.

After the congregation we went back to the room, and I went straight to sleep.
