Hijrah in the Way of God
Dino

A man in neatly-dressed service approached the black-hooded man by the side of the gripper. Her serious face turns hilarious when she meets her old best friend. "Woy! Why are you here?" The eyes behind those round glasses turned to the busy cobbler wrapping the merchandise at the buyer's order.

"Now you've changed your taste?" The glasses guy's eyebrows shot up.

Ridho gave a thin smile. His eyes showed happiness. "Not for me but for my wife."

"Ooh." The mouth of the man who served as the Biology teacher was rounded.

The school that was quiet because it was still too early is now quite crowded. Dino the teacher normalized her facial features as usual while at school.

"Why lo?" Seeing the look of that strange face of course made Ridho dumbfounded. Where's that funny face?

Even a student passing by the man looked down timidly. Ridho stared in amazement. It was very desirable for him to clap for the round glasses guy. What an amazing act.

Not only the students but the others are the same. Ridho didn't expect them all to be that scared of Dino.

Bugh

"Adoohh." A package book floated around about Dino's head to make a thud.

Dino's ears ringing. The eyes behind the glasses were circulating a glance towards the origin of the floating package book. She again?

Ridho looked at the incident.

"Dad?"

"Dec? It's the peck." The lizard gave the plastic bag a rather large size. Ridho reflexes took it. And the mouth opened wide when he saw the pouch he was holding.

"Sir? Why this much?"

"Fifty thousand of them that much, Dek," said the hat-talker. "One seed will be cerebu, so fifty stews yes fifty seeds."

He did not leave even though his business was finished. He was still curious about the student who threw a book on Dino's head. Whether intentionally or not.

"You again?" Shouted Dino furiously at the student who stood a few steps away from her.

"Where, sir? Throwing gift from me?" The student with the untidy veil smiled mockingly. He shortened the distance from that shitty killer teacher. Of the many disciples, only he was the one who dared with the teacher. He picked up the book that fell and left.

Ridho on Dino's side chuckled. "Patience, Din!" He patted the man on the shoulder before passing on to the bike.

"What is this, Bang?"

"Pronounced."

"Yes tau cilok. But why this much?" Rahma sulks. The woman thought her husband was not sincere so she bought that much cilok.

Ridho went to the kitchen to pick up the dishes. After returning he set aside ten cilok seeds onto the plate using a lidi. He put the plate on his wife.

"I don't know, honey. Fifty dozen of these!"

His explanation made the frowning look of the wife fade. He took a plate and ate a peek with sparkling eyes.

Ridho commented a smile. When pregnant his wife more often sulk like a child. He rubbed the tip of the woman's head gently.

Today and so Ridho must be extra patient to face the pregnant woman.

The man in black hoodie offered water to his wife after he finished eating the cilok. The former woman's plate he took and filled again with a peek that is still left in the plastic. Now Ridho has to spend the cilok for the first time with a portion that is not small. I hope you don't vomit.
