First Drop of Vienna Water Wudhu
Threats from Friends

That morning the sun rose with its warm rays in the blue sky. A thin mist enveloped the spacious garden around the Vienna home. The garden was usually empty, withered leaves just falling, but this morning, it was as if nature was celebrating the happiness of Vienna.

Vienna woke up with a happy smile on her face. His heart was pounding as he grabbed his report card lying on the study table. The results of his religious examinations have been announced, and Vienna wants to see them soon. He knows he has worked hard, but he never expected to get this good value.

Shaking, Vienna opened a clean white envelope containing the results of her exam. His eyes were immediately fixed on the value on the white paper. His value was unusually high, exceeding his expectations. He was amazed and thanked God for this achievement. Her tears almost trickled down as she felt an incredible happiness.

Vienna immediately contacted her mother who was in their luxurious room. "Mother, please come to my room!" he shouted enthusiastically.

Her mother, an elegant woman with a fashionable hijab, came quickly. "What's going on, Vienna?" ask with a curious smile.

Vienna handed her report to her mother. "Look at this, Mother! I got a high score on the religious exam."

His mother saw the value on her daughter's report card and her face exuded pride. "Vienna, this is great! We're all so proud of you."

Vienna was very happy to hear the praise from her mother. Later, he talked about his deep feelings towards religion. "Mother, this makes me feel that I have found something very meaningful in my life. I want to understand religion more deeply and draw closer to God."

His mother smiled understandingly. "Vienna, that's a very good move. We will support you fully on this journey. We can find a good religious teacher for you."

Vienna was relieved to hear her mother's support. He felt that he had found the right purpose in his life. That morning, they sat together in the magnificent living room, talking about Vienna's future plans for living their religion more deeply.

A few days later, when Vienna went to school, she felt so excited and full of energy. He felt that his life had gotten in the right direction, and he was ready to face any challenges that would come in his spiritual journey.

That day, the sky was clear and the sunlight was shining warmly on the school grounds. The atmosphere of the school is very lively, the students walk around, laugh and talk to their friends. Vienna arrives at school feeling happy after getting high marks in religious exams. He hoped that day would go well, but what would happen would not be as he had imagined.

As Vienna was walking towards her locker, she heard the rapid pace of someone approaching her. She turned and looked at Lisa, one of her close friends, with a strange expression on her face.

"Hey, Vienna" Lisa greeted in a less friendly voice.

Vienna felt something was wrong. "What's up, Lisa?"

Lisa approached Vienna with an aggressive attitude. "You know, Vienna, I know all your secrets."

Vienna felt her heart pounding. He didn't know what Lisa meant. "What are you talking about, Lisa?"

Lisa looked around, making sure no one heard their conversation. "You know, I know that you've never prayed. I know your secret, Vienna."

Vienna was silent for a moment, not knowing what to answer. It felt like his world was collapsing. How did Lisa know her secret? How could he be so sure?

Lisa continued in a threatening tone, "If you don't do as I ask, I'll tell everyone in the school about this secret. Imagine the shame you're about to experience, Vienna."

Vienna is panicking. He doesn't know what to do. Prayer was a new thing for him, and he felt he was not ready to practice it. However, he also did not want his secret to be revealed in front of his friends.

Lisa smiled triumphantly. "I want you to help me with my maths exam tomorrow. I know that you're good at that lesson. If you don't want to help, your secret will be revealed."

Vienna is depressed. She knows that helping Lisa in the exam is unethical, but she also doesn't want her secret uncovered. Finally, he agreed with a trembling voice, "Alright, I'll help you with the math test."

Lisa smiled triumphantly. "That's great, Vienna. You won't regret it."

Viennese face-to-face looked anxious and burdened as he pondered the choices he made. He felt a dilemma between maintaining the integrity of his religion and keeping his shameful secret.

Lisa left feeling satisfied, leaving Vienna alone. Vienna felt herself caught up in a complicated game, and she had no idea how she would deal with it.

Vienna sat on her school bench with a blank look, her mind filled with tapering conflict. Lisa's threat hung over her head like the sword of Damocles, and Vienna felt an unimaginable dilemma. On the one hand, there are religious obligations that he has long neglected, and on the other, there are secrets that he does not want to share with the world.

During the break, Vienna went to the school library, where she hoped to find answers or inspiration in books on shelves. But even among the books, he felt confused. He doesn't know what to do.

As she sat in the corner of the library, her classmate, Aisyah, approached her. Aisyah was a good and friendly friend, and Vienna felt comfortable talking to her.

"What's going on, Vienna? You look very worried" Aisyah said with kindness in her eyes.

Vienna was moved by Aisyah's concern. However, he did not know whether to share his secret or not. "Aisha, I'm facing a big problem" Vienna said hesitantly.

Aisyah smiled gently. "You know, Vienna, sometimes talking about problems can help us find solutions."

Vienna finally decided to tell Aisyah everything. She tells of Lisa's threat, about how she feels trapped between the integrity of her religion and keeping secrets.

Aisyah listened seriously and nodded in understanding. "It's a difficult situation, Vienna. But I'm sure, as a friend, I will support you no matter what you choose. You know that prayer is our duty as Muslims, and it is an important part of our identity. But it's also not good if you're forced to do something wrong."

Vienna was relieved that she had spoken to Aisyah. The friend gave him the moral support he so desperately needed. However, he also knew that the final decision should be his own.

Days passed, and Vienna continued to reflect on the choices she had to make. He read books on religion, seeking a deeper understanding of Islam. He talked to his school's religious teacher and tried to seek advice.

One day, when the sun began to set and the atmosphere of the school began to quiet, Vienna decided that she could not continue to live in a lie. He knew that prayer was an obligation as a Muslim, and he felt responsible for carrying it out.

He contacts Lisa and tells her that he will not help in the cheating act in the exam. He tells Lisa that he will choose to perform the prayer as part of his duty as a Muslim, even if it means revealing his secret.

Lisa was angry and disappointed with Vienna's decision. His threat has not materialized, but he left Vienna with complicated feelings. Vienna was relieved by her decision, though she also knew that there was a possibility the secret would be exposed in front of her friends.

Vienna's decision to choose the integrity of her religion took her on a deeper spiritual journey, but she also had to face the consequences of her decision. How will his friends respond? And what will happen next in this new religious journey?
