The cell phone on the nightstand rang repeatedly, Jelita tried to reach for the flat object but her hand lost speed to Danil's hand which had grabbed it first, a little annoyed because someone disturbed her sleep. Danil's annoyance immediately disappeared when he saw the name of the caller. Papa Calling... Danil gave the phone in his hand to Jelita.
"Assalamualaikum, Papa.."
"Waalaikumsalam, dear, I'm sorry if papa interrupts by calling you at this hour."
"It's okay, it's going to be dawn soon." Jelita glanced at the clock on the nightstand, at 04.00.
"Dad just got home, Rey said, Ronald is in the hospital, so papa and mama want to see him, do you want to come?"
"No, Jelita can't come, Jelita has to go to Rey's office, for a while Rey will replace Ronald, and I will back up Rey's work."
"Oh I see, are you and Danil all right?"
Jelita glanced at Danil who still closed his eyes and hugged himself tightly.
"Papa don't need to worry, we're fine."
"Thank God, Papa, hang up the phone first, don't go to sleep again in the morning, you'll miss the dawn when you sleep again, Assalamualaikum.
"Yes sir, waalaikumsalam."
"Mas Danil, move it a little bit, it's narrow, behind Mas Danil it's still as wide as a football field."
Danil shifted his body and Jelita's body at once without letting go of his embrace.
"Mas Danil really, I can't breathe when I hug him like this."
Danil didn't even open his eyes, but Danil's movement was enough to make Jelita irritated. Just imagine, with his eyes closed, Danil even stabbed Jelita with light kisses on Jelita's lips repeatedly. then returned to tighten his arms on Jelita.
Jelita grabbed the bolster pillow beside her and she used it to hit Danil's body.
"Ouch!! Pain!..Pain! Forgiveness!! Forgiveness!! Istrik!Shole is only Mamas Danil!! Forgiveness!"
"That's what Danil is anyway."
"Is that so?" Said Danil who is now sitting beside Jelita while stroking his arm which was hit by the tantrum of his little wife.
"Well, the call to prayer, let's pray."
"Answer me like that first." Danil continued to tease Jelita until Jelita entered the bathroom, Danil still chuckled at his wife's behavior.

Rey took a prayer rug from her backpack. She prepared for the morning prayer, just as she was about to read her intention, she looked at Ronald who was looking at her.
"Do you want to join the prayer?" Ronald didn't answer, he just looked down and remained silent.
"Let's pray together sis."
Ronald lifted his face.
"Can?"
"Yes, it's okay, Sis, you have to, prayer is the obligation of every Muslim."
"But I have forgotten the prayer readings."
"Forgetting can be remembered again, if not we can study again."
"But how do I perform ablution, I just can't walk."
"Tayammum brother, let me help."
Rey painstakingly taught her sister how to do tayammum, after that Rey changed her sister's clothes to clean clothes, putting a small skullcap on her head. Ronald just obeyed all his sister's treatment, Then they both prayed the morning prayer together.
"Rey.."
"Yes sis."
"How long have you lived in the boarding school?"
"Since I entered the 1st grade of junior high school until I graduated from college last year."
"Why sis?"
"Your adoptive family sent you to a boarding school?"
"Yes, Sis, but I want to myself, I want to take care of my adopted sister, that's why we were both put in a boarding school, but I'm grateful that that way I avoid negative associations."
"Yeah, you're right, big brother is ashamed of you, big brother should guide you and take care of you, not the other way around."
"Come on sis, we are both brothers, we should take care of each other and remind each other for the common good."
"Oya sis, later my adoptive family will come here, they want to visit brother."
"What time will they come?"
"He said in the morning, he delivered breakfast for Rey, he said, they also miss Rey, they've been out of town for a few weeks to take care of their business."
"They must really love you."
"Yes, I also love them very much, I also really love my adopted sister, although sometimes she likes to be ignorant."
"Your adopted sister is ignorant, she said she was very sweet."
"It's sweet if you want something, he... you're kidding me."
"You're not in love with your adopted sister, you two are often together."
"Perhaps I would have fallen in love with my adopted sister if I didn't remember that we were breast-fed, because of course it is forbidden for us to marry."
"Milk?"
"Yes, when I was given to the Sanjaya family, I still had to drink breast milk, and coincidentally my adopted sister was still drinking breast milk, in the end we both shared breast milk from the same mother."
"No wonder you're tall, it turns out you're too much breast milk hahahaha .." Ronald laughed out loud.
"Basic brother Jahanum, you should be grateful that your sister doesn't have a shortage of breast milk, instead of being laughed at, my cellphone rang for a moment.
"Assalamualaikum Jelly."
"Waalaikumsalam, Rey, you don't have to go to the office today, it's okay, let my office take care of it, you just help Ronald, I've also asked for permission from Danil, if I will handle your work for a while, papa and mama he said he was going."
"Yes, Papa already called me earlier, have you been careful going to the office, did you bring your own car with the driver?"
"Between drivers, I can't bring my own car, you're a man, I'm afraid I'll run away."
"Yeah, if you run away it's hard to find a replacement, you're a limited edition, hahahaha"
"You said I'm goods, yes I want to get ready, Lopyu Rey."
"Lopyu, Jel, if you walk carefully, you are afraid of stepping on ants."
"Heelah, you just take care of all the ants. Bye ah.. Assalamualaikum."
"Waalaikumsalam." Rey smiled broadly while shaking her head, her adopted sister was really too cute, luckily it was far away when Rey pinched her cheeks.
"Who's calling? You're smiling like that, your boyfriend, right?"
"I don't have a boyfriend, Jeli can be fooled if he's caught dating, he wants to get married right away."
"Why don't you date, let's get to know each other first."
"Let Allah introduce us sis, besides I'm afraid of making mistakes."
They were having fun joking, when someone heard a greeting, and Rey knew that voice very well, a voice she had heard since she was a baby until now.
"Assalamualaikum."
"That's my mother's voice, I'll open the door first." Ronald nodded and Rey immediately opened the door. Seen a pair of middle-aged men and women in front of the door, immediately Ronald's smile dimmed, Rey kissed the hands of his adoptive parents in turn and also hugged them, another habit of Rey kissing his mother's cheek.
Ronald's heart was pounding, a lot of negative thoughts swirled in his brain, his heart started to worry, what if Rey's parents found out that he was trying to kill his daughter? Ronald also had regrets, what if Rey and his adoptive parents found out that he was trying to destroy his daughter? Surely they will hate him, as well as Rey, he will lose his beloved sister. That's how Rey's brain toyed with her heart.
And when the parents came in, how surprised they were, it turned out that Ronald's brother Rey was Ronald's friend Danil, his son-in-law.
"Are you Ronald, Daniel's friend?" Ask Rey's Mama
"I..i..yes aunty."Ronald was really nervous, if he didn't remember Rey's words to repent, maybe he would choose to die right now.
"Why is it a coincidence like this?"
"It's not a coincidence ma'am, but God's destiny."
"Oh, that's right, this mama's solih is smart." The mother said as she rubbed Rey's arm.
"Sorry, Ronald, we only had time to visit now."
"It's okay sir."
"Just call me papa just like Rey." Ronald really did not think that the Sanjaya family's welcome would be that warm to him. He feels even more guilty about what he did to Jelita.
"Rey, mama brought your favorite food, special beef stew with mom's recipe for love, Ronald you also have to eat, so you know mama's cooking is delicious, let mama feed you, Rey prepares the food, papa hasn't had breakfast yet, he said he wants breakfast same as daddy's single child."
"Okay, come on, let's just sit on the sofa, let mom sit near Ronald."
"Sorry sis, this time I want to eat alone, you eat with mama, be careful eating the meat stew you'll be addicted."
Ronald smiled awkwardly, he was not used to eating together with many families, so far only with his father, and even then when both of them were not busy. Ronald looked at his younger brother who started eating his food.
"Open your mouth kid?" the voice was so soft and sweet to Ronald's ears. then he opened his mouth and accepted a bribe from his sister's adoptive mother, without realizing her tears were dripping with emotion at the treatment of her sister's adoptive family.
