"Wulan, let's go down." take Natalie while gently patting Wulan's arm, thus making the girl surprised.
What was once the girl looked amazed by the magnificent building before her, now it looks tense again. Even his heart was racing.
"I_iya Nat." replied Wulan while grimacing.
He exhaled again before getting out of the car. The group walked into the mosque. And in the corner of the room, there were gathered some men who were talking. It seems they are waiting for the arrival of Wulan.
"Assalamu'alaikum" Natalie and her husband said to a group of people sitting on the rug.
"Wa'alaikumussalam." they reply compactly to Wulan's entourage.
They allowed the Wulan group to sit first. It looks like Natalie's husband is having a conversation with the men. While Natalie talked to Wulan.
"Wulan, aren't you carrying something that can be used to cover your head?"
Wulan was conscious of not wearing a head covering. Then for a moment he thought while looking at his own appearance and also the woman in front of him. Why did he forget not to prepare that little thing.
"If you do not bring it, you can wear mukena in this mosque. It's okay." said Natalie later, when she saw Wulan speechless.
"Oh okay, thanks for the suggestion Nat."
Not long after, Natalie's husband turned to his wife and Wulan. He gave the code so that the two women were closer.
The girl also listened carefully to the words of the ustadz. So that nothing is missed in the least.
After understanding, Wulan was told to ablude and wear mukena. Then a series of events to make himself a Muslim began.
His heart trembled violently when he said the number one pillar of Islam. And all thanked him when he finished saying that sentence.
Natalie who was beside Wulan, immediately hugged the girl. And both shed tears.
The taste of haru spilled into one. No relatives attended the sacred event. But after he said that sentence, Natalie and Wulan were now half-brothers.
"This is just the first step of Wulan. From now on you are obliged to carry out your duties as a Muslim. Starting from prayer, fasting, closing the aurat and much more. No need to be scared or overwhelmed. Because you can all work slowly. Until you understand. God knows how far you are trying. If you don't know something, you can ask me. We'll learn together." whispered Natalie gently in her new brother's ear.
Wulan nodded and softly replied 'yes'.
After parsing the embrace, the ustadz gave an additional explanation. And everyone back to listening. If there are questions, Wulan is welcome to come to him, of course, accompanied by a friend. So that no slander may occur.
The sky is dark. Maghrib time is coming soon. All are welcome to prepare for ablution.
Wulan and Natalie got up from her seat and went to the place of ablution. Natalie momentarily noticed the manner of Wulan ablution. Then immediately justify when the girl is mistaken.
After the ablution, they re-entered the mosque. Seeing Natalie performing tahiyatul mosque prayer, Wulan also did the same thing. He only read prayers as he remembered, because frankly he was not so memorized.
