Six months later, though,
"Who here can read Basmalah as you teach?" ask the teacher named Azizah while staring at one by one the students.
There was only one who raised a hand unexpectedly to everyone. Elza, yes ..The little brat who was judged to be naughty raised his hand quickly. He stood up from his place when he saw Azizah waving her hand for Elza to come forward.
"Elza can read Basmalah, son?" asked Azizah while smiling sweetly.
"May, ma'am" answered Elza, looking into Azizah's eyes.
"Then please Elza read, as Mother said," Azizah said as she gently rubbed Elza's head.
Unexpectedly, Elza recited the basmalah complete with the letter of Al-fatihah. Of course this makes everyone surprised because the bad boy chanted one by one the verse eloquently and correctly. What Elza is doing is currently succeeding in making Fina's tears fall. He never thought if his foster children were able to recite the verses, even though Elza himself could not read.
"O Allah, Subhanallah." Fina muttered softly while wiping her tears. He was really moved to see the big change in Elza.
"Great! Elza is great. Let's give Elza a standing ovation, yeeee ...." Azizah is very enthusiastic to invite other children to appreciate the success of Elza.
Prok prok .. "yeeee" cried Elza's friends with applause.
"Elza can read a letter let alone, son?" This time Miss Nikma was interested in the latent ability in Elza, "letter Al-Ikhlas can, son?" ask Nikma's mom while looking at Elza.
Elza immediately chanted the letter smoothly and without any mistakes. Of course the three teachers were increasingly amazed to see the ability of Elza. They never thought that behind the active behavior of the three-year-old boy more, there was a hidden intelligence.
"Is there anything else Elza can do?" azizah asked after the little boy finished reading Al-Ikhlas' letter.
Once again Fina was amazed by her foster child. Tears flowed again when Elza read a short letter she had read before Elza went to sleep. He did not expect that Elza could memorize the letters properly.
"I didn't know that El could pay his salary,"
"it's normal, a lot of times on a kid's TV like that,"
"maybe it was just a coincidence,"
"i was very impressed with his ability. May Allah my son be so afraid,"
"dih .. do you want to have a child like that? Naughty and don't know manners!"
The study session was finally over and everyone was preparing to leave. However, when Fina was about to leave with Elza, there was one teacher who called her name.
"Mister Fina, can we talk for a second?" nikma asked while allowing Fina to sit down opposite the other teacher.
Fina finally undoes her intentions, she sits there together with Elza. However, a few seconds later, the little boy chose to move away to play with some toys that were still in the study.
"What's up, Mom?" fina asked after making sure Elza was safe within her reach.
"The three of us are very curious, how can Elza be so fluent when reciting short letters like we saw earlier?" Azizah represents her two colleagues to ask Elza's nanny.
"I didn't think it, Mom. Elza can't read. If at home he only plays alone at home," said Fina while staring at the three teachers who sat opposite him.
"Is it possible that he's used to listening to tartil from entup?" Nikma asked in this.
"Looks yes. Some time ago I did start changing the spectacle he entup, Mom. Every night he would sleep with me, maybe he listened to me while teaching in the room, Mom," explained Fina when remembering what had happened over the past few times.
"Now I'm beginning to understand why Elza can turn out like this" Azizah said, staring at Elza who was playing alone, "actually, behind her active behavior, Elza seems to have the ability to memorize above the average child her age. He is able to absorb what he sees and hears everyday. Perhaps, he belonged to one of the genius children." Azizah smiled sweetly towards Fina.
"As a person who is very close to Elza every day, I hope Mbak Fina can explore the potential that exists in Elza. If there is indeed a competition, we can ask Elza to enter the competition, so that everyone knows behind her active behavior, she has extraordinary abilities. I pity her because during this learning process, she was always shunned by her friends." Azizah looked at Fina meaningfully.
"Good, Mom. I'll do what Mom suggested. I also just found out today if Elza can teach properly because if at home she tends to be a quiet figure." Fina explains how Elza was at home.
"Maybe after this Ms. Fina should invite Elza to communicate more often. I'm sure Elza isn't a quiet kid. Perhaps, because he spends more time alone at home, he is engrossed in his own illusions and heed what is around him." This time the teacher named Nurul who had been silent had come to answer after hearing Fina's explanation and observing Elza.
After discussing the development of Elza for approximately thirty minutes, Fina finally paid her leave. He was very happy because slowly the little boy showed the other side of what he had been showing. Fina was proud of this achievement even though she was not Elza's parents. However, one thing was certain, during the few months of being the babysitter of the little boy, there was an inner bond that began to intertwine. Moreover, every night Elza always asked to sleep with him. Benny himself doesn't know that.
Since Fina was present at the house, Benny spent more time outside. Whether it's work or doing other activities, such as taking his girlfriend named Poppy. So far they have not decided to have a more serious relationship. Maybe the two are still in doubt because they have not been able to conquer Elza. Poppy is busy with her work.
"I had to stop by Ani's house to tell her the happy news. Surely he liked it," muttered Fina on the way home from the town hall.
