The first day without seeing her inner Asyifa while looking at the empty bench on the dining table.
Asyifa sat down and smiled at everyone.
"Ummi today Syifa took the bus alone" said Asyifa
"Why?" ask Annisa
"Just take the bus," Asyifa immediately started breakfast.
Annisa nodded.

Asyifa was already on the bus and sitting in the corner, she saw the bench that Daffa had occupied.
Asyifa immediately recalled that when she first got on the bus with Daffa, they were sitting apart without speaking, Daffa saw Ashifa's head covered in a headscarf, Asyifa looked back, Daffa was shocked and hurriedly looked down.
Asyifa looked back to the front with a smile.
Back now the eyes of Asyifa began to glaze over as they remembered it all.
Elsewhere Daffa had just left for his new school.
New school, new inner friend
Daffa went to school and saw all the women who attended school wearing hijabs.
Perhaps here is more comfortable inner Daffa
Daffa reported to the teacher's room, it looks like only 2 teachers have come.
"Assalamu 'alaikum sir," said Daffa
"Wa'alaikumussalam" answered both.
"My brother's a new transfer student, yesterday my Abi called the principal here, here's my file sir."
"Ah yes, you are in class 11 IPA, come with me." asked Mr. Ahmad
Daffa nodded and followed Ahmad.
"In the near future, why not move after going to class" said Mr. Ahmad
"The color I moved home to this area so the school also had to move," replied Daffa
"Oh." said Mr. Ahmad.
At Asyifa school, Ashifa entered the classroom.
Asyifa looked at the empty Daffa bench.
Asyifa looked to the side, Laras and Kirana were having a good conversation with another friend, Kirana looked towards Asyifa.
Asyifa smiled faintly but Kirana ignored him.
Husna saw him and sat down beside Asyifa.
"From today Husna sits here with Syifa" Husna said
Asyifa smiled towards Husna.
Teacher comes in, lesson begins.
At recess, Husna and Syifa sat in the schoolyard, usually Daffa sitting there.
They both read the book, Husna closed the book and faced Asyifa.
"Syifa used to be at rest like this Syifa must have gathered with friends in the cafeteria, is Syifa not tired of sitting here?" ask Husna
"Son, there's no Husna so don't get bored." Asyifa also closed the book.
"Oh yes Husna thank you for wanting to be a friend of Syifa, only Husna is currently a close friend of Syifa." Asyifa smiled looking at Husna.
"From the past Husna never had a close friend, and now Husna is very happy to be a close friend of Syifa," said Husna happy.
"From the time of Junior High Syifa had been friends with Laras and Kirana, but now slowly they are away, maybe because Syifa never hang out again like before" Asyifa story
Husna held the hand of Ashifa.
"Husna will not be like them anyway, like Syifa later, Husna must always be a friend of Syifa, if we need to go to college in the same place."
Asyifa smiled hearing that.

The day changed, Asyifa and Daffa were used to being separated.
Asyifa was reading a book near the school tree, and elsewhere Daffa was reading a book.
While at home Ashifa was busy helping Annisa, elsewhere Daffa also helped her Grandmother cook.
