In a very beautiful city, there lived a young man named Rian. Rian is a young man from Jambi who lives in a boarding school, the boarding school named Al-Falah which is located in a city which has the nickname the Flower City, what else if it is not the city of Bandung. At the boarding school, Rian is quite famous for his intelligence and kindness. Rian is also a very close student and the favorite student of the owner of this boarding school named Mr. Yanto. Thus, many female students like Rian's cold figure. But female students who like Rian have to bite their fingers, because Rian only likes one girl. She is the daughter of the owner of this boarding school, her name is Alya. Alya is a very good girl, intelligent, and also diligent in worship, therefore many students want to be her partner.

But behind that there is uncertainty and Rian realizes that he can't possibly get Alya because he feels he doesn't deserve to be his partner. Alya is a girl who might be considered perfect in terms of wealth, beauty, intelligence, and level. While Rian is an overseas youth whose economy is not good, has an ordinary face and also doesn't have the same level as Alya, that's what makes Rian feel inferior and pessimistic about his feelings. But that also didn't make Rian give up, he really tried and worked hard to get the girl he idolized by diligently worshiping such as night prayers, reading the Qur’an, giving charity and he also relied on his intelligence to get the girl. He was willing to not sleep for 3 days just to memorize a book that was difficult for the other students to learn. Until the final exam arrived, Rian, who had studied a lot and mastered the materials, was ready to face the exam. Coincidentally at that time Rian's class and Alya's class were side by side, it made Rian's enthusiasm and motivation increase to get the best value for himself. He worked on the exam questions very carefully and calculatingly in order to get good grades and become a champion at the boarding school. He really wanted to be a champion because at the time before the exam, Mr. Yanto announced that whoever would become the champion there would receive a big prize, that's what made Rian very enthusiastic about this final exam.

Long story short, the day for the announcement of the winners will come. Rian, who spent the night in worship, did not escape prayers so that he would become the champion in this final exam. Mr. Yanto also arrived at the boarding school hall and prepared to announce the best students who won the title. The announcement began with the 3rd place winner, Mr. Yanto said that Syafiq won the 3rd place, a standing applause was given to Syafiq and he went on stage. Continue to the announcement of the 2nd winner, Mr. Yanto mentioned the characteristics that won the 2nd place starting with a name that started with R, there Rian was quite confused if it was his name he would be happy but that was not Rian's target. Mr. Yanto also continued his words, the 2nd place was won by Rini. A standing applause was given to her and Rini immediately stepped onto the stage. There came a very tense announcement where even the best champion would come forward to win the prize. Mr. Yanto was quite tense when he announced it, and it turns out that Rian and Alya won 1st place because they have the same value, both of them were called forward to receive appreciation. Rian is very proud because he has succeeded in achieving his target and he is very happy because he can go forward alone with Alya, the girl he loves. Mr. Yanto also mentioned that the prize that would be won by the two students was to go to the holy land, namely Mecca to perform Umrah, there Rian was immediately delighted and immediately made prostration of gratitude because going to the holy land was also one of Rian's dreams.

Not long after that, Rian immediately went to Mecca with Mr. Yanto and his entourage to perform Umrah. There Rian did not waste the opportunity, he was very diligent in worshiping and praying, and one of Rian's prayers was that he would have a match and become Alya's partner, that was the prayer that Rian really hoped for. It didn't feel like the Umrah service was over and they returned to Indonesia. Rian went back to living his life as usual, like a studying and memorizing. Arriving at night, Rian was called Mr. Yanto went to his house, Rian was quite tense because he was embarrassed when he had to go to the house of the owner of the boarding school. When he arrived at Mr. Yanto asked Rian "when are you ready to get married?" suddenly Rian was surprised by Mr. Yanto question. He was confused why Mr. Yanto asked him about it. Then with an embarrassed face Rian replied "I'm ready when the time comes". Then Mr. Yanto also said, "When you are ready, come to my house and marry my daughter", Rian is very happy because his dream to marry Alya can come true, and he is more confident in his feelings. Immediately Rian was very happy with what had just happened, and he really believed in the answered of prayers.
