First Drop of Vienna Water Wudhu
Decision to Be Honest

Vienna sat on the exam chair with a tension still felt in her chest. The test of religion was getting harder with every question he read. His hands trembled as he tried to answer carefully. Even though he was feeling nervous, he remained determined to face this test with his own honesty and ability.

In the middle of the exam, while he was focusing on answering questions, suddenly his best friend who was sitting next to him, Maya, whispered something to him. "Vienna, I have the answer. This will help you."

Vienna was surprised by the offer and turned to Maya. Maya's eyes were filled with hope, and she held out a piece of paper containing answers for the test. Vienna is in a dilemma. The offer was tempting, and he knew that with those answers, he might be able to get a higher score. But his heart said something else.

Inwardly, Vienna knew that cheating was not the right way to face the test. He had decided to follow the principles of honesty in his life since the beginning of his spiritual journey. He wanted to prove to himself and to God that he could pass this test by his own ability and without cheating.

With a determined heart, Vienna rejected Maya's offer. He leaned forward to answer the next question and said firmly, "I won't cheat. I want to face this test with honesty."

Maya seemed surprised by Vienna's decision. He tried to persuade her, "But, Vienna, this is only once in a while. No one will know."

Vienna shook its head steadily. "That doesn't make sense, Maya. If I cheat, I'll just cheat myself. I must follow my principles."

Maya sighed in disappointment and returned the answer paper into her bag. He then refocused on his own exams.

Vienna continued its examinations with great concentration. Despite the disruption of the offer he declined, he tried to forget about the incident and focus on the questions that remained to be answered.

A few minutes later, the exam time was running out. Vienna finished his answer and placed a pen on the exam table. He was relieved to have faced the test with his own honesty and ability. The decision to reject Maya's offer was a difficult one, but she felt proud of herself.

When the exam time is over, the supervising teacher gives a sign that the students can leave the exam room. Vienna stood up and looked around. He saw some of his classmates were still busy writing their answers, while others had already given up.

He came out of the examination hall with a relieved heart and looked at his surroundings that came back alive with a voice of conversation and laughter. The surrounding natural atmosphere seemed to be brighter, and the sunlight shining down on the sky gave Vienna a warm feeling.

As he met his classmates outside the exam room, they asked about his exam. Vienna recounts the incident with Maya and her decision to reject the offer. His friends nodded in his honor and expressed their admiration for his honesty.

While there may be pressure to cheat, Vienna has chosen to follow the right path. He feels proud of himself for having faced the test with integrity and honesty, even in difficult situations.

After gathering his answer and leaving the examination hall, Vienna felt relieved and at the same time tired. That stressful day had passed, and he felt that he had tried his best in answering every question. Despite some difficult questions, she knew that she had faced the test with her own honesty and ability.

He walked out of the exam building towards the school corridor. The fresh air outside was refreshing after hours in the tense exam room. The sun was still shining brightly in the blue sky, and the natural atmosphere around the school seemed to live with the excitement of the students who finished facing the test.

As Vienna walked past her friends gathered outside the examination hall, some of them gave smiles of respect and nods of their heads. They approached him and began to speak.

"I didn't know you had such a strong determination, Vienna," Rizky said with a smile. "Seeing you turn down an offer to cheat makes me feel proud to be your friend."

Vienna smiled and was delighted to hear the support of her friends. "Thank you, Rizky. I just want to follow the principles I believe in."

Lisa also joined the conversation. "We're impressed by your decision, Vienna. Even though the test is difficult, you stand with integrity."

Vienna was warm at heart to hear the support and respect of her friends. He knew that his honesty had made a difference, not only in the test, but also in his friends' view of him.

While they were talking, Maya approached Vienna with a look of regret on her face. "Vienna, I'm sorry for the offer. I know it's wrong, and I respect your decision."

They embraced as a sign of peace, and Vienna was relieved that they could improve their relationship after the incident. His other friends were also relieved and happy to see the reconciliation.

As they continued speaking in the warm sunlight, Vienna felt that she had achieved something greater than just the test scores. He has maintained his integrity, followed his principles, and gained the support of his friends.

When the entrance bell rings, they know that the exam has ended, and they can get back to their school routine. Vienna felt that she had completed her first religious exam well, not only as a school assignment, but also as a test in living life with honesty and integrity.

As they walked together towards the classroom, Vienna felt that her spiritual journey was deepening. He knows that he still has a lot to learn and discover in his religion, but he has made the right move by maintaining his integrity in the face of the test.

The natural atmosphere around the school still looks beautiful and lively, like a symbol of change in Viennese life. The bright shining sun reminded him of his courage and honesty. Vienna felt that she had faced a greater test in her life, a test to stay true to her principles and live life with integrity. And he knew that, no matter what the results of his religious trials, he had achieved something more valuable.

Vienna awaits the results of its religious examinations with a mixture of anxious feelings and anxious expectations. Since the completion of the exam, he had been trying not to think too much about the results. For him, the most important thing was that he had faced the test with his own honesty and ability.

That day, their religious teacher announced the results of the exam. Vienna and her friends gathered in the classroom, waiting with bated breaths. Vienna prayed in his heart for an adequate result, given his great efforts during the preparation of the test.

Their religious teacher finally walked into the room, carrying a list of test scores. Vienna could see that the teacher's face looked serious, and that made her even more nervous.

The teacher began the announcement of the results by reading the names of the students who scored the highest. Vienna waited anxiously, hoping that his name would be called.

Some of his friends who get high scores experience happiness. They smiled and applauded as their names were read out. Vienna felt happy for them, but was also increasingly anxious about the results themselves.

Finally, when the religious teacher read the names of the students who received middle grades, Vienna still did not hear his name. His heart was pounding more and more, and he was trying to stay calm.

As the religious teacher continued to read the names of the students, Vienna felt increasingly uneasy. Could he not graduate? Could it be that her efforts all along have been in vain?

But then, the teacher's voice stopped. He stared at the list of values in his hands for a moment, and then he smiled. "And the ones who get very good marks in this religious test are..."

Vienna could not hold her breath as she waited for her next words anxiously.

"...Vienna!"

Hearing his name mentioned, Vienna felt like a huge burden had been lifted off his shoulders. He felt very relieved and happy. The tears of happiness almost melted from his eyes.

His friends immediately applauded and cheered for him. They were happy to see that his hard work during the exam preparation had yielded good results. Vienna felt warm because of the support and happiness of her friends.

After the announcement of the results, Vienna took the score sheet given by the religious teacher. When he saw the numbers there, he felt very happy. Despite not getting a perfect score, the value he obtained was very satisfying, and he knew that he had achieved this with his own ability, without having to cheat.

When they left the classroom, his friends still congratulated him. Vienna is proud and grateful that its honesty has yielded good results. He knew that this was the first step in his spiritual journey and that he had undergone a religious examination with integrity.

The natural atmosphere around the school is still bright and beautiful. The sun sets in the western horizon, giving the sky a warm orange color. Vienna feels like nature itself is celebrating its success. He felt full of gratitude and was increasingly convinced that he had made the right decision in the face of his religious trials.

With a relieved heart and radiant face, Vienna and her friends left school. He knows that his spiritual journey is still long, but he has proven to himself that he can live life with integrity and honesty.
