That afternoon Moses arrived at his house at 11 hours less, Moses planned to take a nap because he felt that he could only sleep a few hours a night.

Moses chose to sleep in the room on the second floor, a room that was rarely occupied, because Moses used to sleep in the room that was on the lower floor. Moses went in and opened the curtain that covered the glass window on the 2nd floor, and opened the window wide so that it was as breezy as the wind could get into the room. The room that was dark because it was closed, is now so bright because of the sunlight that enters through the window that has been opened.

Moses laid his body on the 140 x 200 cm soft mattress, trying to close his eyes to go to sleep, but when he began to close his eyes, the events of last night were re-enacted, how the breath of Sari again felt hit his face that was closed.

" Athaghfirullah hal'adzim", Moses rubbed his face with his palm.

" It was actually a dream or real, if it was a dream, why did it feel so real, but if it was real, but why didn't Sari discuss anything this morning, why did Sari not repeat to say thank you to me, but last night I kept my eyes closed so that she knew I was asleep".

Moses finally did not succeed to take a nap, until the adhan duhur mengawar Moses just fell on his bed.

Finally Moses went and prepared for the Dzuhur prayer in the mosque.

As Moses walked home from the mosque, he was called by one of the neighbors whose house was passed every day to go back to the mosque.

" Ustadz, stop by for a while, there's something I want to talk about" said Bu Heni, a neighbor whose house was three houses away from Moses' house.

" Why is Mrs Heni?".

" Let's go in first, we're talking inside yeah".

Hajjah Heni was the wife of Haji Mustofa, the chief priest of Mushola At taqwa, the closest and frequent place of worship of Moses.

" The father is still in the mosque, wait a moment, he also wants to talk with all the rest of Moses".

And after sitting for 5 minutes while answering some questions that led to the person of Moses, the voice of Mr. Tofa came into the house while saying greetings, Moses answered his greetings and shook hands kissing the back of Tofa's hand.

" Have been here for a long time?, I thought Musa want to wiridan first, it turns out to be straight back home".

" Yes sir, actually last night lack of sleep, so the intention was to go home without taking a nap" said Moses.

" Call him Moses, sir, ma'am, let ustadz be more relaxed" Moses asked.

" Oh so anyway, yes already call nak Musa, sorry yes even the same mother was told to stop by, do not know if rush home to take a nap, sorry son Moses". Bu Heni patted Musa's shoulder pretentiously.

" No papa ma'am, it can still be drowsy" said Moses.

" Yes I heard last night you can not be a tarawih priest because there is a lightning pesantren event in your place to teach?, surely because the activity became less sleep".

Moses only smiled, not intending to tell anyone about last night he spent the night in the hospital guarding Sari,

" ooh yeah he said there's something you want to talk about, about what?", Moses was straight to the point.

" Previously you are sorry if you are presumptuous to ask this, but does Moses have a candidate to be a companion for life?, the prospective wife means."

Moses was a little surprised, although he could keep his surprise from being seen.

" What do you mean?", Moses actually meant by the question of Mr. Tofa, but to avoid misunderstanding, Moses preferred to clarify the sentence uttered by Mr. Tofa.

" If Moses does not have a future wife, the plan wants you to introduce your brother-in-law, to berta'aruf first".

It turned out that what Moses thought was true, the purpose of these two people made him stop by to talk about matchmaking.

" In fact, I do not have a candidate, because honestly I have not thought to get married immediately, besides I feel I have not been able to be a good priest for anyone who might become my wife later, also my parents have never discussed this with me. So there's no thought in this direction".

Hearing Moses' words, Mr. Tofa and Mr. Heni looked at each other.

" So you refuse to know my sister?", there was a tinge of disappointment implied from Bu Heni's facial expression.

" I'm sorry, there's a saying that says that the soul mate is not going anywhere and must meet too, maybe someday if I've thought in this direction, and if the soul mate, maybe, God will bring us together", Moses' answer really made the couple very disappointed, even their smile was very clear when forced.

" If you only want to discuss it, because I have explained, now I'm sorry Mr. Tofa, Mr. Heni, assalamualaikum". Moses stood up from his position and left the house of Tofa sir with a deep disappointment in the hearts of the couple.

" There's been a girl who's been going on lately in my mind, I'm worried that I'll only hurt another girl if my thoughts and feelings don't go together" Moses said as he walked toward his home.

" Wake up?, do you want to pray Dzuhur first?", asked Grandpa Atmo while rubbing Sari's hair.

" Since when is Grandpa here?, surely the effect of the medicine that Sari drank so her sleep Sari dules really, Sari again no holiday Kek, Kek, maybe the panic effect yesterday made Sari the arrival of monthly guests early", Sari woke up from her position while covering her mouth which evaporated.

" Grandfather's grandson is getting older it turns out, how could yesterday you think about the state of grandfather when you are in trouble, forgive Grandpa yes...you must be feeling hurt because there is no family to take care of you in the hospital".

Grandpa Atmo's eyes immediately glazed over.

But instead Sari strengthened by holding her grandfather's hand with her left hand.

" Grandfather, Sari's fine, really. Ustadz Musa always took good care of Sari, even though she was someone else, but she was so kind to Sari, Ustadz Musa said that Sari was his protege, so just like a child to him, so it was like a child to him, he was already like a second parent to Sari".

Sari recalls all the attentive treatment of Moses, from the time when Moses calmed as Sari cried, fed her, tidied her hair, put on the hijab, and gave her jacket when the cold air was outside the room.

Although initially Moses refused to take care of him on the grounds that they were young men and women who were still both single and impossible to spend the night and stay in the room. But his thinking changed, whether influenced by whom, Pak Musa returned as his guardian, as a second parent to Sari. He treats Sari like a father to his daughter, although Sari instead thinks of other things and Moses's caring attitude makes Sari so keep thinking about her, even to the point of getting carried away into a dream.

Sari also continued to remember when last night he kissed Moses' cheek while Moses was asleep, can be imagined if Moses was still awake and Sari kissed his cheek, surely Moses would be angry and lecturing Sari so long. Sari smiled to herself imagining it.

Atmo's grandfather who realized his grandson was smiling so teased him.

" Ustad Musa thinks of you as his son?, how could he not have married, so how could he have made a beautiful girl your age his son".

" It's what Moses said Kek, Sari just forwarded what he said".

Although in his heart Sari also hopes that Moses does not think of him as just his protege.

" For now Moses has become my idol ustadz", said Sari.
