5 Years later
At the airport a veiled woman walked very slowly while looking at the message on her mobile phone, without realizing it in front of her someone was also staring at her mobile phone. The veiled woman kept walking and ended up bumping into the person in front of her.
The woman was startled and retreated slowly with her hands shaking in groggy, the person she hit turned towards her and backed away from being uneasy at the sight of the one who hit her was the veiled woman, little does he know women like this to keep the touch and view of the opposite sex. That man is Reyhan.
"Sorry" said the woman without looking at Reyhan.
The woman who had been looking down immediately raised her face but looked down again.
Surely he felt uncomfortable coming into contact with a man who was not Reyhan's inner mahram.
"I was also wrong" said Reyhan looking into the eyes of the woman who had occasionally raised her face even though her gaze was erratic because of panic.
"I'm sorry, again I'm sorry" he said softly
Reyhan nodded without speaking, he stared at the departure of the woman who had lowered her head back.
"Don't look down again, you'll bump into people again" Reyhan spoke with a slight smile. The woman turned her head when she heard his voice, she nodded.
This was the first time he had stared long at the opposite sex. The man in front of him was wearing neat office clothes.
Reyhan stared at the woman's departure and continued his path in line with the woman.
In front of Reyhan airport stopped the taxi along with the woman, they looked at each other awkwardly. This was the second time they had met after they had split up inside.
"Please," said the woman politely, she was used to putting others first.
"Nothing, I took another taxi, please just come in," Reyhan said as he politely opened the taxi door, waiting for the woman to enter.
The woman got into the taxi without refusing, saying thank you, Reyhan nodded and closed the door, and the taxi began to run slowly.
Reyhan looked towards the taxi until he was no longer seen. He stopped the next taxi and got in and sat in the front passenger seat and his luggage was stored in the rear passenger seat.
When he got to the front of the house, Reyhan got out of the taxi and walked slowly into the yard. He slowly opened the door and smiled to see his little daughter playing on the floor.
"Assalamu'alaikum" Reyhan said in his distinctive voice.
His daughter Syifa turned her head when she heard the greetings from her Papa, Syifa smiled happily and immediately stood up from her seat.
"Wa'alaikumussalam's chat. Papa..!"'s chat...!" call him running to Reyhan's arms and kiss his papa's hand.
Reyhan snatched Syifa and kissed her on the left and right cheeks several times longing.
"Papa misses Syifa" said Reyhan happy, immediately tired of missing after seeing this beautiful.
"Syifa too," Syifa said in a very cute childish plain voice.
Janeta walking closer will pick up Reyhan's suitcase.
Reyhan kissed her mother's hand.
"Pa, where's it?" syifa asked, extending a hand.
Reyhan and Janeta smiled to see him acting like that.
"There's in the suitcase, let's help Papa clean up the suitcase in the room!" bring Reyhan
Syifa nodded happily, the three of them went straight upstairs towards the bedroom.
In the room, Janeta keeps Reyhan's suitcase near the wardrobe.
"Because we went to the orphanage, it seems Syifa is very happy to play there," said Janeta while opening the suitcase.
"Then go there often, if he likes the place very much" Reyhan said
"Next week Syifa will indeed go there again with Oma. Isn't that Oma?" syifa
"Yes. Want to come along?" ask Janeta to Reyhan
"I'll be busy for the next 2 weeks, so Mama goes with Syifa alone" Reyhan said, "Maybe next time" he added
"Opa is busy too, Papa is busy, when is he not?" tanya Syifa is not excited.
"There will be time" Reyhan said as he unpacked his suitcase.
Reyhan took the toy he bought.
"It's for Syifa, isn't it?" asked Reyhan when he showed me the souvenirs he brought.
"It's really pretty Pa, thank you dear Papa," Syifa said as she kissed her papa's cheek in delight at the gift.
Syifa immediately played the latest set of cook-cook toys that Reyhan bought.
Reyhan smiled happily, it was very easy to make her beautiful child happy.

In front of the pesantren, the veiled woman got off the taxi and immediately walked into the pesantren area.
He said hello in front of a room.
Mr. Aaron and Ms. Aisyah returned their greetings, looking back at the woman.
"Mother, Father,” greet the Woman with her soft voice that has not changed.
"Can you go home, son?" said Ms. Aisyah with teary eyes looking at her daughter. Because of the limited cost so they never met, most only the phone could not be long because of the time difference.
Annisa nodded then kissed her mother's hand and hugged her mother longingly.
"She's covering her face now?" asked Mr. Aaron proud and moved, his eyes glazed at the change of this only daughter.
Annisa let go of her embrace and kissed her father's hand.
"Yes dad. When covering her face, Nisa's heart is calmer because there is no longer a view of men who intend not well" Annisa told her parents.
"It's good, Dad's proud" said Mr. Aaron rubbing his daughter's shoulder
Before leaving for Cairo, Annisa only wore an ordinary headscarf and a regular robe but now the return is all closed, leaving only her beautiful palms and eyes.
Annisa and her parents walked back to their house next to the pesantren.
Annisa looked towards the front of their house that had not changed in the least. Her heart warmed to see all that she missed, he wanted to give up on his study in Cairo but given the sacrifice of his parents and the amount of money that had been spent when their family was just a simple family so he again established his heart to graduate as soon as possible.
Annisa's eyes were a little glazed over perhaps due to a considerable longing.
