"When will Marquez come?"
Leon was surprised when that morning saw the Wulan family gathering outside the house. He thought his Daddy Wulan would ask him to pick him up at the airport. Turns out he was wrong.
"Aren't you the one who told my Daddy to come here? The time did not know that it had been since yesterday morning Daddy arrived." said Wulan with a cynical smile, making Leon surprised.
Where does the girl know if she's the one who notified Daddy. What is possible, om Marquez told his family about it, Leon thought. The man could only grimace while scratching his non-itchy head.
"Leon, thank you for being a good spy in my family. Without you my big secret might not be open." whispered Wulan as he approached the young man. After that, he immediately got in the car.
"Let's take the road" said Marquez when he saw his son had entered the car. While Leon was still staring at the departure of the Wulan family with a million questions in his mind.
"Why do they look so happy? Shouldn't they be fighting over different understandings now? And where did they go? I have to find out."
"Leon!" exclaimed his papa which made Leon jerked in shock. He turned his body, and saw his father about to open the car door.
"Let's go quickly. This morning we have a meeting." added the papa again.
Leon could only snort angrily, as his plan to spy on the Wulan family failed. He got into the car and headed to the office.

Meanwhile, Wulan and her family were on their way to the mosque which was a silent witness where Wulan emigrated. Not only him, but his grandpas and grandmas as well. And now he's gonna take his parents.
He was unexpected and very grateful. Those who initially resisted, though not openly, ended up following what he did.
Wulan's family said hello to Natalie's family, then shook hands and hugged each other. After that, they immediately entered the mosque and talked there.
Shortly after, some people came to them. The group is the people who are in charge of guiding people to become a Muslim.
They passed on some information, before the sacred process was finally started.
Their eyes glazed over as they followed the process, and finally the roundness of the clear crystal spilled over after the event was over. They embrace each other warmly.
"Hopefully we can be a sakinah family, mawadah and warohmah" said grandpa. They also guaranteed his prayers.
After the sacred event was over, as an expression of his gratitude and gratitude, Marquez invited them to enjoy lunch together.
Although they had only met once, they seemed to be familiar with each other.
Wulan thanked Natalie, because she was determined to make a decision.
After finishing lunch, and performing Dhuhur prayer together, Wulan asked Natalie to drive her family to a shopping center that sells Muslim clothes. Of course, Natalie would gladly agree to that.
The souls of the women thrashed when they saw the colorful gamis, hijab and accessories that spoil the eyes.
Like people who are caliph, they just put it all into the shopping cart. And when they reached the cashier table, they realized they had spent tens of millions to cover the aurat.
