Therefore

the hardest thing for us to do is to wake up for dawn prayer.

Because the call for prayer at dawn says...

Which means,

"Praying is better than sleeping."

- Her. - Keep this in mind.

Peace be upon you.

Peace be upon you too.

Girls, in ten minutes I want everybody

from Class 2A to recite the Quran together.

- Understood? - Yes, ma'am.

Where are you going, Her?

To get my Quran.

Hurry back.

Where is she going?

I don't know. Is she leaving?

Weird.

You should have reminded each other.

I hate that she gets us in trouble.

Now I want everybody to clean the yard.

The bathrooms and the shed.

What about Herlina?

- It's her fault not ours. - Every one.

Everyone gets punished, including Herlina.

Ummi! Excuse me.

Now what? What excuses do you have now?

Sorry, I fell asleep when I went to get my Quran. I'm so sorry.

Listen up, everybody!

Now start working. Let's go!

You're all being punished. Go on!

Nadilla, don't sit around.

Get back to work.

- Peace be upon you, Ummi. - Upon you too.

Work diligently.

Don't be lazy.

Do it properly.

- Start sweeping. - Okay.

Don't bother.

I'm sick of this.

We can't let her get away with this.

What are you going to do?

- Stop it. - No, you stop it.

No, you.

Her.

Are you happy now?

Laughing while the rest of us are being punished?

Ranum, Aminah, Wati. Leave.

Let her do the chores alone.

What do you mean, Obi?

Leave, Num.

Give me that.

Bi.

Don't be like that.

She's still adapting. She just got here a month ago.

She's been here for a month.

Listen, our class was the best in this school.

Never got punished.

But since she's been here...

She missed recitation and dawn prayer, we got punished for it.

She's a troublemaker!

- I know, but... - It's easier for you.

You're a hafiza.

A favorite student on scholarship.

What about me,

Dilla, Siti, Aminah, Wati, and the rest of us?

Fine.

Have it your way.

Freak.

Let's go.

Num.

It's okay if you want to leave.

It was all my fault.

It's okay.

I'm just not used to doing all of this.

At home, my parents always gave me everything I wanted.

I'm sorry, Num.

It's okay. Let's just get back to work so we can finish it quickly.

Thanks.

Take care of yourself here.

Mom, I hate it here.

Everybody hates me here.

Be strong.

They'll like you once they get to know you better.

No one will.

Only one student likes me.

Only she's kind to me.

Her name is Ranum.

But the rest are mean to me.

The bedsheet is so smelly and filthy. I can't sleep on it.

Why are you laughing?

Don't worry, I'll get you a bedsheet.

I'll send a new one.

Tonight, I'll bring it to you. I promise.

Mom, that's not the solution.

Come on, Mom.

Talk to Dad, tell him I don't have to be in boarding school.

Listen to me, Herlina.

You know how your father is.

How about this?

Try to stay for a semester.

If you still don't like it, then I'll talk to your dad.

All right?

Can I see you smile?

It looks forced. Cheer up, okay?

My baby is looking so pretty in a hijab.

So beautiful.

Robiatul.

What did you do to get punished?

I've got a lot on my plate already.

I don't need more trouble from you.

Think about it. What if you get expelled?

Do you think you can just walk right back home?

Enough, honey. Stop.

- Want to eat now? - Later.

- Want me to feed you? - No, I'll eat later.

All right then.

Herlina says hi.

She said she misses you so much.

How is she doing there?

Getting better?

She's getting so much better, and she's more obedient now.

I'm happy to see her like that.

But I think she doesn't like it there.

Maybe it's time for her to come home.

It's only been a month and she's decided she doesn't like it there?

What can she learn from the school in only one month?

I bet she still can't recite the Quran correctly.

Let her stay there longer.

She needs discipline.

Fine. I'm going there again to give her a fresh blanket and bedsheet.

That's good, Her.

I can see your progress.

I'm going to the mosque to study the Quran.

Want to come?

Going to pray for your parents, Ranum?

Okay, I'll come with you. Let me get ready.

Thank God.

I'll be in the wudu room.

Follow us, girls.

Peace be upon you, Herlina.

The troublemaker.

What did you say about us, bitch?

Somebody's got a big mouth.

I didn't say anything to Ummi.

Ouch!

I don't want to hear anything from you.

Poor baby. Is the baby crying?

What did I do to you?

"What did I do to you?"

Please, don't do it, Obi.

- Be quiet. - Dilla, it hurts.

Here.

Disgusting.

- You want to fight with me? - No.

- Do you? - No.

Let me go!

Let me go!

Get up! Come here!

Come here!

Ouch! It hurts.

Where are you going?

It hurts!

Please let me go.

- Obi. - Shut up.

Obi.

This is hot.

You want to try it?

Aminah, go get her!

The back door.

Hey!

- Where is she? - That way!

Ranum!

I've only been kind to you, but you snitched on me to Ummi Ayu.

Now you're running to snitch again, right?

No!

Don't do it! Don't!

Can you be quiet for once?

Shut up!

Shut up!

Move.

Is it cold?

Please.

Get up.

Don't be a baby.

You want to fight with me?

- Huh? - Let me go!

Get her!

Ouch!

Mr. Sapto, we're...

Dewi, how is she?

What happened to her?

This is not from the car crash.

- Calm down. - How could you?

How did you not realize that my daughter has a burn on her hand?

Sir, calm down.

- Mr. Sapto, we are... - Save it. I know.
