"And (remember also), when your Lord declares; “Verily if you are grateful, surely We will add (merciful) to you, and if you deny (my mercy), We will surely, then verily my torment is painful” (QS. Porter: 7).

Rianti also transacted with Siti's mother. His friends were silent to watch both. After all, Rianti and his friends returned to class because soon the doorbell signaled the start of teaching and learning activities.

Arriving at home Rianti's face looked bright, cheerful. Although he looked tired, he could not hide his mood. Makes Mother Asti so wonder, "Where was the trade, selling?" guess Mother Asti. He thought it must be the cause of the joy on his daughter's face because of it.

Sure enough, Rianti's face looked even more pleased, his eyes twinkling. Then the story flows.

"Yes, Bun, thank God it's all sold out. Even before I was taken to the cafeteria, my classmates were already on the buy first. Because they were taken to class. Uh, so be excited about it."

"Alhamdulillah, Mother was happy to hear it. This Mother's daughter is great. Hopefully the sales continue, yes, " said Mother Asti.

"Oh yeah, where's Danti, Bun? Haven't come home?" asked Rianti, while looking for the whereabouts of his sister.

"Not yet, it seems like any minute, "Asti replied.

Rianti just chirped, then went back to chatting with his mother.

Not long after, Danti entered the house while carrying a box where the cake had been empty. His face was no less happy with his brother. Seeing that, impatiently Rianti immediately asked,

"Sir, how was it, smoothly?"

"Yes, dong. Nih, look, it's empty, right?" danti replied, showing the box of cookies, with pleasure and pride. He was no less excited than his brother.

"Alhamdulillah, "the prayer of Rianti and his mother together.

"Yey, if this continues every day very happy, deh. Tomorrow we sell again, Tea. But wake up Danti just want the cooking, yes," said Danti.

"OK, but you must have woken up before dawn, at least 03.00 an, lah, "challenge Rianti.

"Wokeh, who's afraid!" Danti answered a challenge from her brother.

"Sip it then. Don't forget to set your alarm. Let it not be bad luck, " said Rianti.

"Okay, ready, Boss!" danti answered while raising her right hand and then taped to her temple bone, a gesture like respect.

Rianti and Danti seemed busy struggling in the kitchen making the food they would sell today. Today's menu is still the same as yesterday, but added with a medium-sized kebab. Neither big nor jumbo nor small. Enough to prop up the stomach of people who have not had time to eat breakfast.

Rianti began compiling the menu from Monday to Friday. He planned to change the menu so as not to get bored.

I don't feel like time keeps rolling. Their activity stopped when they heard the voice of the dawn prayer, calling every Muslim to pray. Because both of them this time can be completed faster. Soon the brothers performed dawn prayers in their respective rooms.

After they finished praying, they returned to the kitchen. Resuming activities that have been delayed. Everything is ready, just packed.

While busy packing food, Mother Asti walked closer to her two daughters.

"God willing, the daughters of the Mother. Already at the Fajr prayer yet?" puji Asti's.

"Already, Bun, just now," answered Rianti and Danti simultaneously while looking at their mother.

"Thank God, is everything over?" ask Asti.

"Already, Bun, stay packed. That was the piece of prayer first," replied Rianti.

Then the advice flows for both,

"Great children Mother beautiful and sholihah. No matter how busy we must not forget the obligation to pray. Remember all the gifts and sustenance from Allah. Learn to seek sustenance in a way that Allah wills. For blessings. Whoever gives thanks to Allah with a little favor will be added. It's God's promise. And we have to be sure of that promise. Understand kids?"

"Yes, Bun, "answer the two while nodding.

"Yes, continue. Mother wants to cook for breakfast first, yes, " said Mother Asti.

The two brothers resumed their work. While Mother Asti cooks for breakfast they and their families.

After Rianti and Danti finished packing all the food neatly, alternately the two cleaned the body. The bathroom in the house is only one. After finishing the bath and dressed in school uniform neatly, the two approached their Mother in the kitchen. It turns out that the cuisine is ready to be delivered to the dining table.

They immediately share the task, Danti arranged the dining table, while Rianti made drinks for everything.

Such was the daily life of the Asti and Iskandar families, especially the entirety. Since marrying Iskandar, she decided to become a full-time housewife at home, educating her children with her own hands. Because he realized that it was his first and foremost responsibility. One day both husbands must let go of their children and will live their lives, with their small families. Being a wife and mother too. So will Radit, their youngest son, be the priest, husband and father of his children. Therefore, for Asti it is very important to instill noble values, especially the foundation of religion early on for their provision in living this life. This task is not an easy task, but it does not mean you cannot.

Everyone seemed to be enjoying breakfast while chatting familiarly. After finishing breakfast, they were ready to say goodbye to the group and went to school with their father.
