In Natuna, after a stint at the Hospital, Ardhita chose to wash all the clothes she had previously introduced and then she saw a message from her lover who lives in Malang, Dhito. Of course Ardhita was happy when Dhito could get a job, even though it was not a job in accordance with the competence of his girlfriend.

However, on the one hand Ardhita also knows that it is not easy to get a job when conditions are like this. After reading the message from Dhito, Ardhita then bought a catfish pecel not far from where it is today.

After that, Dhita prepares the menu and will contact Dhito of course. However, before making a video call, Dhita tidied up the hijab she was wearing, so as not to show her hair. Appropriate when making video calls.

As soon as the roar from the beacon tower roared, Ardhita then started calling Dhito first. Because, he had not had time to reply to his girlfriend's message.

Mr. Dhito

Rang ...

"Hello, assalamualaikum, Mas Dhito," said Dhita when the handsome face of her lover was seen on the screen of her cellphone.

"Waalaikumsalam, Mother. You're home from work, right?" ask Dhito.

"Already, Mas. Earlier clean-up, especially clothes from the Hospital must be washed immediately to break the chain of transmission Covid," replied Dhita.

It looked as though Dhito was nodding his head. Actually so long, but now only able to meet virtually. Usually used to be able to ngabuburit together in Malang City Square, now can not meet directly.

"Congratulations, Mr. Dhito, finally got back to work. I'm in the mood" replied Ardhita.

"Suwun, Brother. Prayers from you too. Oh, aye. So open together? I'll take my food to the kitchen first" she replied.

Dhita there seemed to nod her head. Waiting until her boyfriend takes her food. There are up to approximately five minutes, because Dhito also paid with his Father and Mother first ask permission to eat iftar in the room because he wants to open with Dhita.

"Well, pity, Nang .. used to open up together. Now it can only videocall well," said Miss Lastri to her son.

Haven't had time to answer, Mr. Hardi has answered first. "It's new like this, ma'am. So, yes, you have to be patient. Later if you can meet and Dhita back to Malang will meet again," he replied.

"Right, sir .. It's okay. It's like fasting" Dhito replied.

Although not know until when, but Dhito is optimistic to meet with Ardhita again later. I don't know when, the important thing now is that his prayers and hopes will not be separated. Hopefully later Dhito will also be reunited with Ardhita.

Afterwards, Dhito went into the room. The young man had brought rice with his vegetable was Lodeh Eggplant and there was salted fish. There is also a yam compote made by his mother. Then he put the phone with a camera that only highlights it to him.

"Hello, Dik .. sorry well long," said Dhito.

"Wait for you, Mas" Dhita replied.

"What's your opening menu?" ask Dhito later.

What was said by Ardhita is true, because the food choices in Natuna are so limited. There is only Pecel Lele and Nasi Goreng. That's all that sells is Javanese people who do traunsmigration to Natuna.

"Not bosen?" ask Dhito later.

"Just enjoy it, Mas. Still being able to eat is still grateful, and of course the important healthy," Dhita replied.

There Dhito nodded his head. Sometimes we go somewhere and the food choices are not much. Behind all those limitations that matter is healthy delights. For the favor of God is immeasurable.

"Mas Dhito who leads the prayer is breaking, well," Ardhita asked now.

The young man nodded his head. Then he cupped his hands together, leading the iftar prayer. Although virtually, but breaking the fast can be done together.

“Allahumma laka shumtu wabika amantu wa'ala rizqika afthortu birohmatika yaa arhamarrahimiin. Amen."

Dhita says, "Amin ...."

"Good break the fast, brother," said Dhito.

There Arshita shed her tears. Kangen is also with his girlfriend. But what else, because you can't meet. You can only look at the eyes with the available cameras.

"Happy breaking the fast, Mas," Ardhita replied.

Then start Dhito start by eating takjil first. Eating his yam compote. Open the fast with the sweet.

"You don't eat takjil?" ask Dhito later.

There Ardhita shook her head. "No, Mas. As it were," he replied.

Seeing his girlfriend break her fast with a potluck meal really made Dhito sad actually. Dhito knows that Ardhita used to be so fond of Fruit Ice or Cincau that they used to buy together. Now, without drinking a little water. After that, Ardhita also directly ate Pecel Lele Nasi Uduk.

"It's okay, Mom. Just continue to open it," Dhita replied.

"Kok me who pity well .. usually we used to Ngabuburit together," replied Dhito.

Ardhita smiled faintly. "It's okay. Later if I have returned to Malang, can ngabuburit together again."

There are times when breaking the fast cannot be done face-to-face. You can only meet with videocall. However, it was a way to bring the distant closer together to seem to be close. So are Ardhita and Dhito now.
