 In the end time of high school, every student has prepared everything they need to continue their journey. Its only have 2 choices, find a job or apply to a university.  Just like a girl that just graduate from Madrasah Aliyah (MA) named Aisyah, she already got one choice, go to university. Aisyah was graduate from one of the greatest MA in Sumatera, even she was honored for a greatest student there. That's why there's no doubt she got an invitation to go to the one of the best Islamic university in Java.
Everything has 2 choices, bad and good. The good thing is Aisyah don't need to pass any test just go to Java and go study. And the bad one is she doesn't have any family member there. It means  that she have to more independent than normal one. If she get sick, se have to take care her own self and maybe without anyone can help. When she get a problem, as if she get sick she have to solve her problem by herself.
A day before she go to airport, Aisyah get everything she need. Meet her best friends which all of them are girl. Yes Aisyah didn't have too much male friend, Â she knows she is a religious person that's why she don't want to get closer to any male friends. It's 4 o'clock, 3 girls are chatting in a caf
"Tomorrow is the time, we're gonna miss you Aisyah" the girl with square glasses talked with low voice.
"Why'd you have to go so that far? " The tall girl is asking.
"C'mon girls it's not that bad, even that far we are still connected. We can get a video call anytime, right?" Aisyah replied.
"That's right, but, you will come home in every semester's holyday right? " the glasses girl asked again
"So that we can get a reunion" tall girl shouted.
"I hope so, because I don't think that I can get friends like you guys" Aisyah replied
"Aisyah, I hope you can take care of yourself there. You know, maybe here would be so different there, the culture, the people, the environment, and so on" Tall girl said.
"Don't worry, I got it. I wont let anything distract me, especially my Islamic life. Its everything for me. You too guys, keep yourself from distract of Dunya" Aisyah replied.
Then they're continuing eating and drinking. At night Aisyah having a family gathering with her big family at the same time praying together for Aisyah success while she study in  Java
 Everything has been prepared, the day tomorrow in very early morning, Aisyah pray Tahajjood as usual. Then the morning comes, her parent and her little brother drop her off to the nearby airport.
"Take care of yourself honey, we will always wish everything best for you. Anything that happen to you, good or bad, just tell us" her dad said it with smile on his face.
"You don't need to be worry about anything. Your father are right, we're always support you. And I promise I'll cook you rendang and send it to you every month, I know you will miss my cook" her mom talked with a half sad and happy face.
"Mom, Dad, Thank you for everything. I lost my words to express how much I love you, how much I thank you. I'm gonna miss you", "Especially you little boy" Aisyah 's face is almost crying but she try to not show it.  Her little brother that only 3 year old just crying in Aisyah's lap, he probably know his lovely sister is about to leave him. Then her mother take her little brother back, Aisyah hug them together before he leave and enter the terminal. It's about an hour to go and the rest of  that time Aisyah reciting the holy Quran.Â
Aisyah don't want to spend her leisure time just for unimportant things instead she will reciting a zikir, Quran and Doa. Even after she is already in the plane she still spend her time by doing it. She believe Allah will always protect her and people around.
After 2 hours, finally Aisyah landed in at the airport nearest her university. For Aisyah, to reach her apartment which will be placed to live is not too difficult. Because she can use Google Maps to give some direction and what public transportation should she take. Its 4 pm and Aisyah still in a bus stuck on traffic jam, she is hungry and her face can't lie about it. More over she didn't get a chair and have to stand up. Her right hand hold her briefcase and the left hand hold the pole in the bus.
Then she start to move her right hand to her stomach because of that hungry, no maybe she is starving. The briefcase didn't move because the bus still stop due to the traffic, occasionally she closes her eyes that make she obviously feel starving. Then suddenly a young girl who stand up right in front of her realize it by give Aisyah a bread. Aisyah had no idea who is the young girl and why she gave a bread to her. For a while Aisyah stunned, she look at the girl because the way she look. Blond hair, maybe she painted on her hair, wear tight pants and shirt and thin outer, there are some piercings on both the ears even on her nose. Aisyah still stunning and the young girl confuses until she says,
"Sorry, you must be hungry right? Just take it "
"Ouh , no thank you" Aisyah refused
"I know you're starving, just take it. Its halal, don't worry" the young girl mentioned that it's halal maybe Aisyah doubt, is the bread halal or not. This time she can't refuse it, it getting hurts
"T-thank you" finally Aisyah take the bread and eat it. The young girl smiled at Aisyah while she eat the bread. Soon after, the bus start moving and stop by stop now the rest of the passenger are only Aisyah and the young girl.
Then finally the bus reach the destination of Aisyah's apartment. When Aisyah is out from the bus the same time the young girl also out from the bus. Even they go to the same apartment.
"Hey it seems like we will be a neighbors" the young girl says. The young girl's door is next to Aisyah's door.
"Yes, you're right" Aisyah respond it shortly and leaving the young girl outside. The young girl stunning for a second and  soon enter the room. In Aisyah's room, she is unpackaged his briefcase while mumble
"Is that how girl dressed in a big city?"
"how could she didn't feel embarrassed?"
"Why it's legal here, not alike my city"
Aisyah keep wondering until she remember something about her,
"But, she is kind"
"She gave me bread"
"When everyone on the bus busy on their own business, she is the only one cares to me"
"She know that I was starving"
The day after, Aisyah go to the mall for some things. She can't do it the day before because she were too tired to go. At the mall she bought so many things so that her hands are full of shopping bags. Aisyah is getting tired, she need some foods. So she goes to the restaurant in the mall.
"Alhamdulillah, the food was so good" Aisyah recited it after finish her meal.
Then Aisyah arrived in front of his door, before she unlock the door she look at her welcome pad, there is a box with a note paper on top of it  says, 'made special for you' and at the edge of the note says '100% halal'. For a second, Aisyah smile. She already know who send this box, when she open it, her smile got wider, the inside of the box is the bread as the same the young girl gave to her.
"It must be her" Aisyah is mumble. She is so happy with that bread, and start think that maybe she need to reply the gift. Then tomorrow is the first day to go to the campus, in early morning Aisyah already in her kitchen cooks special food for the young girl and it's a special porridge, but this time she goes to the next door and nock it. After the young girl open the door, Aisyah in a Silent for a while, she was stunned to see the person in front of her. The young girl wearing a veil. The young girl is confused
"Mmm, Helloo ??" the young girl asked,
"Uh-Um, Hi! I mean, Hello" Aisyah nervous
"Here, I made it for you" Aisyah give the porridge in a box to the young girl.
"Woww, Thank You. I like porridge so much" the young girl thanks to Aisyah
What a surprise when they are realize that they're in the same college. Then they go to college together the next day and so on. They're getting closer in every day. Aisyah start to tell the young girl how to dress in Syari way. And in everyday the way the young girl dressed is getting better. Previously, the young girl said that, she just convert to Islam, but her family didn't accept it and she got kicked out from home. After that she become alone, no one can teach her about Islam more and more.
"That's why I really grateful, God brought us together. InSya Allah we will become true friend till death separate us" The young girl stare at Aisyah with her beautiful smile. Aisyah is very touched, eye tears fall from her eyes. Aisyah hugged her
"I'm so sorry, I misjudged you the first time I met you. I'm too narrow in thinking" Aisyah hug her tight, the young girl then started crying and finally they're both crying in a hug.
Then the next time they spend time together, Aisyah also introduce the young girl to her best friends in hometown. Day after day, month after month, the young girl has changed so much. One day the young girl says that she want to go home to meet her family, especially her parents. This time Aisyah feel bad about it
"Why I feel like we're not gonna meet again?" Aisyah said,
"C'mon Aisyah, it's only for a while. I'll return soon" the young girl replied
"I need to tell my parents that how beautiful this religion" she excited to say
"You need to promise me"
"Yes, I promise"
Then they're hugging before leaving. Even though the young girl promise to come again still Aisyah feel bad about it. Aisyah think that maybe she need to take a nap. After that Aisyah go to bed and sleep.
It's been 2 hours after she fall asleep, and she woke up to the sound of the adzan zoohoor. Aisyah sit on her bed and raising her phone the look at the time, suddenly she was starled. It comes from the news that showed from her notification. The news reported a bus accident that killed some passangers
"No, no, no, no, nooo! "
"I'm sure she is not at that bus"
Aisyah click the news to make sure that the young girl wasn't involved in the accident. Â For a moment, she was silent reading one sentence that was written '...the young girl with hijab and green dress, also the ring on her left little finger also passed away...'. The identities is matched with the young girl that she knows.
Aisyah fell to her knee on the floor, her tears fell more swifly than ever. She crying with no voice, her heart shattered into pieces, Â the world seemed dark, Aisyah lost her true friend. The memories with the young girl won't be repeated, the young girl has gone. She can't return and and she can't keep her promise. Maybe later, the day after that day the young girl can keep her promise to Aisyah
