Semarang is a city full of history. The buildings of the Dutch colonial period are still standing strong so that they have a strong historical impression. The city is known as Little Netherland.

Tonight Qeena and Dafi spent time enjoying the glitter of the city in Tabanas Park in Gombel Hill. If Jogjakarta has a star hill that is quite famous, in Semarang is not less beautiful to visit. The cool air makes add to the romantic impression with a partner. In this place they saw a vast expanse of glittering lights in the city of Semarang that stretched from Jatingaleh to Tanjung Mas Port. Around this place there are many cafes and traders who sell food, so no need to worry about hunger if there, the price is still comfortable in the bag.

"Ga mute pee now?" ask Dafi.

"It's not a lot of sitting, drinking is also arranged. We're not related either" Qeena replied.

"Need to go to the doctor?" ask Dafi again.

"Do it" replied Qeena.

"You sure you're okay?" tanya Dafi assured.

"Yes ... Oh yes Mas, thank you for taking the streets rich gini, the thing that never Qeena Rasain from small. Rich in dreams" said Qeena, leaning her head against Dafi's shoulder.

"Udah ah .. don't say so, there is mellow. We enjoy what is now there. Consider the reward of ourselves who have struggled to cuddle money and can live a past full of tears. Later if abis vacation, time to work hard again, so next year can get a rich holiday gini again. Yes, hopefully add personnel who take the holidays" said Dafi.

"Aamiin .. so the story Mas want to stay up all night around the city of Semarang?" ledek Qeena's.

"Yes . If we have ever been in the afternoon, so now look for a different experience, after all Mas during Semarang has not enjoyed the night outside the house. Yes if the road itself seems very single .. hehehe. This Abis we go down to the heart of Semarang city huh, to Jalan Pahlawan. Equally, will feel the glitter of colorful lights that illuminate every corner of the city and if you want the photos are also okay spots. If you're lucky, you like the performances of the children's motor club or the children's arts who are performing talent. Abis continued to stop by Semarang Square, namely Simpang Lima. We will pedal bike rickshaws with colorful lights, rich couples mostly along the road Simpang Lima. Mas guarantee to be an unparalleled romantic experience deh" explained Dafi.

"Romatis rickshaw ride anyway Mas?" ask Qeena.

"Yes romantic, pedal together continue to use the lights, where there are in Jakarta" replied Dafi.

"Tomorrow to meet Mr Kyai Syarif?" ask Qeena.

"God willing, he returns tonight to Semarang, so tomorrow we will meet him. But before we stopped by the Old City area in Semarang, long ago Mas ga there. There is still a thick atmosphere of the city in the Dutch colonial era with large buildings typical of buildings in Europe that still stand firm. Previously Mas wanted to invite to Lawang Sewu which is an iconic building of Semarang City, a building with a lot of doors, but the wealth you are afraid, even ntar can not enjoy. We stopped by the Great Mosque of Central Java in the Gayamsari area. This mosque is very special because of its truly magnificent design with a giant umbrella like the Nabawi Mosque in Medina" explained Dafi.

"Mas .. we'll eat first yuk. laper" asked Qeena.

"Eat the gimbal yes" said Dafi.

"Know gimbal means that the sale has dreads like Mas?" ask Qeena.

"Hahaha .. no, the dish contains fried tofu, gimbal (shrimp farm), lontong, cabbage slices, sprouts/taoge, fried ceplok egg, fried onion, fried, then watered with sambal pea seasoned petis shrimp and soy sauce" explained Dafi.

"Oh so .. yes understand the knowledge of Semarang, the culinary is soto, bandeng presto continue to be lekker" replied Qeena.

"Yes already.mumpung here, yes enjoy what you have not enjoyed" said Dafi.

"What kind of banana plenet? read a lot from earlier" asked Qeena.

"That roasted banana continues to be flaked using a rich cutting board, it is squeezed if we know it. The language is in the plenet" explained Dafi.

New Year's Eve is soon approaching, the preparation at Bu Fia's house is nothing, because Fajar and Alifa are staying at Alifa's parents' house in West Jakarta. Izma went to his Tantenya house, Dafi and Qeena had not returned from out of town. There are only parents and Rian at home, so it is more than just eating together. Usually if their complete family staycation spend time together at a hotel in Jakarta.

"We're not going to get rich people? ntar night on the fires when we sleep aja" asked Mba Parti.

"Where to? Anto, Narko, Mini and Tinah are allowed to go first. If you go to ride what, it's two o'clock in the afternoon" replied Bu Fia.

The sound of a car horn from the front of the gate, Mak Imah who ran towards the gate. It was Shaka sir who came. He offered to stay with us to Ciloto.

Due to the parenthood, the five of them ended up going to Ciloto. Mr. Shaka has provided a villa for them. Aa' Zay did not look as if they had arrived in Ciloto.

"Where's Zay?" ask Mak Nuha.

"So early in the morning went to Semarang, he said there are high school friends who now have fruit shops scattered there. So want to try to enter the fruit supply" explained Erin.

"It just so happens that Qeena and Mas Dafi are also there again, but tomorrow already want to go home anyway" said Mak Nuha.

"Oh that, try to chat later to Aa', who knows if you can meet them and can come directly here" said Erin.

Dafi and Qeena were already at Mr. Kyai Syarif's house, many worshippers were waiting there to meet.

Qeena and Dafi could sit near the shop in front of Mr. Kyai's house. From the loudspeakers they heard the tausyiah being given.

"Don't waste time buying fireworks and firecrackers for hundreds of thousands .. It's madzir, of course Allah is not happy with the thing that is madzir. Among grateful for the turn of the year AD it is by using the blessings of healthy living and possessions for positive things in getting closer to Allah SWT. It would be better to celebrate the new year with good luck or self-introspection for what has been done and done. If you want to eat please just as long as not excessive. Islam does encourage staying up late but in a sense to get closer to Allah. In Islam it is permissible to stay up late but in the middle of the night, it means to sleep quickly wake up. At the time of waking up is used for dhikr, tahajud prayer, prayer prayer prayer beads, read the Qur'an. Not staying up late for the weird" said Mr. Kyai Syarif.

Dafi and Qeena were only able to meet Mr. Kyai Syarif around two in the evening. Qeena had fallen asleep before Dafi.

They exchanged greetings, Dafi also handed over the business of buying and selling his used car to Pak Kyai so that it can be used by pesantren students to learn to do business.

"Son Qeena .. don't worry about waiting.

To Allah belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth, and He creates what He wills. He gives daughters to whom He wills and gives sons to whom He wills, or He bestows both men and women (to whom) He wills, and He makes barren whom He wills. Verily, He is All-Knowing, All-Powerful as in QS. Assy Shura: 49-50" Kyai Sharif said as soon as he saw Qeena's face.

"Alright Mr. Kyai" Qeena replied rather somewhat relieved.

"God knows better who deserves the parts. Tomorrow if you want to come to a specialist, choose a woman to ask about pregnancy, Mas Dafinya come to a male specialist. Hopefully get a way out and still be able to maintain the sharia about the aurat" advised Pak Kyai Syarif.

Incidentally that night many who participated in the study experienced the same thing as Qeena, even already the number of decades of marriage has not been given offspring.

"Many in the mind of married couples, have long married families, but have not been blessed with momongan. It is only natural that humans always enjoy the beautiful things in this world. The women who are waiting, remember that every person in this world will not be separated from the test. In the letter of Al-Baqarah, Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta’ala said, which means And indeed We will give you trials, with a little fear, hunger, lack of property, soul, and fruit. And give glad tidings to those who are patient (Qs. Al-Baqarah, verse 155). Haven't had a baby, even though it has been a long time to wade through the household ark, is one form of the various forms of testing that God gives to man. Most people think that trials only come in the form of difficulties. They do not realize that the abundance of favors is also a test given by God. Maybe on the one hand tried with patience waiting for the baby, but on the other hand his business is patronizing, his career is brilliant, his wealth is sufficient. Rest assured, that everything that has become God's decision must contain a lot of wisdom even though we are not aware of it. Every human being has written his destiny, man needs offspring to inherit and continue his life. That is why children become the dream of every family. Children are like jewels in their lives. Cooling eyes when fatigue greets, becomes a shelter when the twilight period begins to arrive. In such cases, it is the wife who usually feels the heaviest burden. Moreover, there is a view that the cause of all that is from the wife. He is barren and cannot bear offspring. But it's not like that. It is not the wife's fault, for every destiny of God has outlined her. After all, not always the wife who is the cause, the husband is often also the cause of the child has not been blessed. Don't blame each other in the face of this test. Husband and wife who have not been blessed with children should give each other support and advice. Advise each other to be patient about the destiny given by God. With this attitude, it is expected that husband and wife can strengthen each other in the midst of the storm of God's test. Husbands and wives who have not been blessed with children can strive in many ways, such as consulting experts, people who are experienced in this problem, taking drugs and potions, etc, eating foods that are believed to increase fertility. What should not be forgotten is the do'a, multiply the prayers of repentance and beristighfar. If you have been persistent in praying and endeavoring in various ways but have not also obtained offspring how? The next step is to be patient in the destiny of God. Be assured that God has chosen the best for us. With that do'a and patience, may we trust in God. Next, God is willing to give us patience and gratitude. We can be grateful when we are blessed with children, while when it is still difficult to get children, we remain patient and do not prejudice to the Creator, the Creator, including also when getting children who are not in accordance with our expectations" concluded Mr. Kyai Syarif.
