That night before going to bed, Inneke and Wafa learned Mandarin verbally little by little. They learn vocabulary that is used in general when chatting only. At least they will understand what the interlocutor says later even though they have to answer it in English.
"Oh my God, Mandarin is hard. Even one language has many meanings, then the tone of speech also distinguishes the meaning, Allahu Akbar ...." Wafa started complaining.
"You're just learning right now. It's only right if you complain and can't yet" said Inneke. "Lha, me? You look at me, look, Wafa!" inneke's hand gripped Wafa's shoulder to look at him.
"I was born into the ethnic Chinese sphere. I have not spoken Mandarin since. Looks like I'm a really stupid guy, huh?" the face of Inneke.
Wafa also breathed his long breath. He finally gave up and fell asleep on the living room couch with his best friend. The two young girls had tried hard, but the results were indeed unsatisfactory.
Before dawn, Wafa awakens to be startled by the sound of the dawn prayer alarm on his phone. Aware if he is in a country where Muslims are a minority, Wafa took the initiative to install an alarm in accordance with the time there.
"Alhamdulillah, it is time for dawn prayer,"
"I better take a shower. After that, just pray and beberes this apartment."
This girl who can always adjust herself immediately fulfills her obligations. The first time was in a foreign place, making Wafa a little confused about where to pray. Luckily his room was spacious, so he prayed on the side of the bed.
"Oh Allah, why is the qibla blocked by the mattress, anyway?"
"If the prayer is there, face the door. What good to pray next to, huh?"
Previously he prayed in an empty room, but last night after the prayer isya, the room was used locked by Zaka Yang and the key was brought. So Wafa had to move the mattress and rearrange his room so that it could be used for worship.

Wafa even overslept after the dawn prayer, he was awakened by Inneke with a door bang that made him surprised.
"Woy, Wafa!"
"Wake, woy!"
"What time do you want to wake up? It's nine o'clock, don't you want breakfast too?"
"Wafa!"
Htc .. tok ... tok ...
Inneke's ignorant hand continued to knock on the door violently.
"Wafa, don't kebo, yeah! It's noon too" Inneke continued.
Klek~
The door to the room is open. There was a flat face of Wafa who showed an expression of annoyance because of how to wake up ala Inneke. "Yes, I heard you wake me on the first beat. Why are you getting so excited, anyway?"
"Hish, what time is it, look at the clock!" point Inneke towards his watch.
"I'm bad luck, sorry," said Wafa Lirih.
"Come, come. There's something I want to show you." Inneke drew Wafa's hand and led him into the kitchen with vigor.
Inneke's hasty footsteps made Wafa stumble several times. "Ke, what's wrong? Why are you pulling me like this? Ouch!" lamented the girl.
Inneke rolled his eyeballs, turned around and showed a letter from the person carrying the food. After finding the letter, Inneke immediately gave it to his best friend. "Take it and read it yourself." he ordered.
Wafa's hand slowly received the small letter. Inneke said he had not opened because the letter was addressed to Wafa. So, he did not know what was written in the letter.
"What is this letter?" ask Wafa with his soft voice.
Inneke. "The letter is for you. I dare not open it." she replied. "You better read the letter first and I'll move this food to the table. We're eating in the living room, hm?" coined.
"This food isn't you cooking?" ask Wafa.
"Yes, I shop early in the morning using the money, then cook alone. Ah, there's more, I even bought an expensive bushel like this as well. Are you happy?" inneke replied, of course he is upset.
"Is the dregs in your eyes so big they can't see me still in my pajamas? Hello, your Highness Wafa, I can't cook either, how can I cook, uh!" inneke's frustration finally peaked.
"Go and read your letter. Don't bother me! Huft, I'm starving right now. Watch out!"
Inneke immediately brought all the food to the living room. Not to forget he also brought a plate and bowl to move the side dishes.
Wafa immediately opened the little letter, he walked into the living room and began to read it. Slowly the letter was opened and ....
"Good morning, I'm sorry I sent you breakfast and your friend. Relax, the food is halal to eat. I hired Eastern cooks to cook for you. Wafa, prepare after breakfast. I'll pick you up at 11. Enjoy the breakfast."
Right, the letter was from Bian. He paid the chef from the middle east directly just for the sake of Wafa. Bian keeps Wafa's food for as long as it's in China. In accordance with the direction of Rayhan—kakak cousin Wafa, if he has a special acquaintance in China there, a chef from the middle east.
"Is this food from Mr. Bian?" wafa asked as Inneke finished preparing all his meals.
Inneke sat down first. The girl also prepared green tea for her best friend. "Where do you think you're coming from?" the answer. "Have you read the letter? What was written in the letter?" tanyanya.
Wafa's eyes immediately made Inneke understand. "Ah, stop. If it is indeed a .. secret you do not need to say it. Come on, let's eat!" abugn.
"You didn't call Mr. Bian or his assistant to send us food, did you?" asked Wafa with suspicion. Of course not because Wafa does not believe that hates his best friend. He just didn't want to bother Bian anymore.
Inneke immediately placed his palm on the chest. "Gosh, Wafa. Ck, ck, ck, apparently I'm as criminal as your mind" he said. "Stupid! How could I be like that!" his yell.
"I'm not poor, even to buy you food and finance yourself here alone, I can too!" ketus Inneke folded his hands together.
Wafa gave the small letter, but Inneke did not know what he meant. "What?" ask him with a face that ignites.
"Take this letter and you can read it yourself" Wafa said, giving the piece.
"Related?" Inneke made sure again. "Are you sure these aren't secret words?" tanyakanya.
Consider the head of Wafa as a sign if he allows his friend to read a letter from Bian. Then Wafa also apologized for saying bad things to Inneke.
"I shouldn't have said that. I'm sorry, Inneke," said Wafa.
"Just relax. We've been friends for a long time, I know that you don't mean anything by saying that either. It's all just a joke, isn't it?" sahut Inneke with a smile.
The smile was sincerely replied by Wafa. The two embrace each other. The meaning of friendship for them is very expensive, so they do not want to have a little problem.
