Teach Me (Naina)
Chapter 118

The woman in the room, sitting restlessly in front of the large mirror. The natural makeup that was polished on his face, could not cover the nervousness that struck the heart.

"Casual, Naina. You married Alfin." He's encouraging himself, but that's not enough.

The arrival of Alfin's extended family to carry out the proposal procession still made him nervous even though the first night they had passed without interruption. His fingers squeeze each other, occasionally will bite the lips. Suppress the nervousness that hit the heart.

"Why haven't you tried marriage yet?" He went back to mumbling.

Amidst his anxiety, a message notification came into his phone. Seizing Naina's attention from thinking about the arrival of Alfin's family. He frowned as the man sent out a picture. Smiling her lips look at the picture of the husband with the children in the mosque.

Slowly his heart began to find calmness as he read the lines Alfin had written, which made his cheeks blush.

Humairah .. The hue on your cheek always makes me want to flirt, seduce, adore, flatter you so I can always see it. That's why I call you Humairah. Like Rasuulullaah who likes a red hue on the cheeks sayyidah Aisyah.

O Habibati qalbii .you are like a moon that sows light in the darkness of night. Like a star dancing in a twinkle. Like a rainbow chalking beautiful colors in my life.

Yes zaujatii .. yaa qalbii .. you are a drop of water capable of wiping out my phlegm. A piece of bread that takes away my hunger. You are like a bridle that binds my lust. You are my protector. The best protector of the evil of lust.

O lamp of the heart .. When you draw near, you will see my love closer to you. As you move away, you will still see my love near you. I love you, Naina, my wife, my Humairah, the lover of my heart.

A series of poems sent by Alfin through the short message, let Naina tear unconsciously. His hands shook, wanting to write something, but he was unable to string words.

The notification came in again, a message from the same man.

Send me your picture, baby. I'm kangen.

Naina smiled, but water still fell from her eyes. He wiped the water on his cheek, raised the phone to install the camera. Form the sweetest smile of khushushon for a beloved husband.

"I'm sorry, I can't put words together. I love you, my husband. Loves you so much. That's all I can write."

The message was sent, Naina waited with a trembling heart. The reply message went back in, it felt like Naina wanted to hug Alfin's body right then and there.

I bow my gaze, for your sake, O angel of my heart. You are so beautiful, baby. I want to hug you.

Naina gave a small laugh, feeling anxious about the contents of her husband's message. He was stunned when he heard the sound of a car roar in the yard. Naina got up from the dresser, approaching the window. Open the curtain a little to see the Arjuna coming.

His heart was watching, counting and paying attention without blinking. The first car, Busyro and his family. Fahmi's second car and his family.

"Tiwis? Mmm ... kangen same you, Wi!" Naina screeches to see her best friend get off Fahmi's car.

The third car, Ahmad and Aminah and two people who are not yet known Naina. The smile on his lips was dashed, remembering the figure of Aminah who had hated him. Did he really accept everything that happened? Or just be forced.

The sound of the last car roar again took over Naina's attention. His smile reappeared, seeing the children getting out of the car and walking after everyone.

"Where are you, Mum?" muttered Naina biting her lips looking for Alfin's figure.

The man appeared wearing a batik shirt with cotton pants as well as shoes. Good looks are also her bravery, making Naina's cheeks again blush. Alfin looked up, blinking his eyes as he looked at the figure of the wife in the window.

Naina snarled, hiding behind the wall while closing the curtains. He looked up while holding his chest up and down. Alfin shook his head, following everyone inside along with Naina who came down.

"Wa'alaikumussalaam!" shout them simultaneously.

Inside, two large families meet, facing each other. Adrian and Habsoh stand in welcome, along with Seira and Fatih. Among them a woman that Alfin sought was tucked down bashfully.

"Come! Please!" Adrian took them to the prepared place. Sitting on a floor with a variety of dishes has been provided.

One by one handing luggage to the residents of the house. Aminah was accompanied by Alfin standing behind her. It was incessant that the man stole a glance at the woman standing with her head bowed, alone.

Aminah stepped slowly, in her hand carrying a box containing jewelry that she would once use as their wedding dowry. Aminah stuck the box out to Naina, her face filled with regret for what had happened.

"Please accept this, son. As Umi's apology for misunderstanding you. Forgive this sinful woman." Aminah shook, making Naina's heart shaken. It is not sad, the word sorry will slide sincerely from the tongue.

Naina received the box, venturing to look up. Amidst the tears of Aminah, Naina smiled sincerely. Stepping closer and closer, eroding the distance between them. His gaze was gentle, radiating the calmness of his heart.

He shook his head asking Aminah not to cry let alone regret everything that happened. Naina wiped the water on Aminah's cheek using her fingers. Clutching that frail old body into an embrace. Aminah's cry became even more intense, replying tightly to Naina's embrace.

"sorry. Maafin Umi, Son. Umi really sinned with you. Please forgive Umi," said Aminah crying as she pleased in Naina's warm embrace.

Alfin's wife closed her eyes, dropping her head on Aminah's shoulder. He expects nothing, just wants to be accepted by everyone as a man created by God. Just like them.

"Not to remember, Umi. Everything has passed, we think about it going forward. I'm sorry Umi even though Umi doesn't apologize. Gimana is also now Nai wife of Umi's son, it means Umi is also Umi Nai. Just accepted Nai was happy, Nai did not expect more, Umi." Naina spoke softly and sincerely.

Aminah was getting sobbing, the more regret roiled the soul heard Naina's sentence spoken with a sincere heart. Naina took off a hug, again clearing the water on Aminah's cheek.

"Smile, Mi. It's a happy day" he asked, gently holding Aminah's hand.

The old woman nodded her head, pulling the lip line upwards forming a smile. Touching the son-in-law's cheek, a loving touch.

"Thank you. Thanks for you still wanting to give Umi," he said still with a trembling voice.

"Nai also thanks Umi for accepting Naina as she is." Both of them smiled, hugged.

Those who sit on the floor, pay full attention. In the end, all misunderstandings can be resolved. Naina invites Aminah to join the others, but Alfin's hand swiftly pulls her arm.

Brings the bride away, hiding behind a wall.

"Mas!" Naina screams restrained. Alfin's two hands were holding him against the wall. Hugging, and dropping the head on Naina's shoulders, bit her a little because of the overflow of longing in the heart.

"Kangens, baby. Mas kangen same you," he whispered increasingly close the body.

"Dad! Mama! Why are you still here? Everyone was waiting" said Halwa, who had been standing near where they had been hiding with Alfin's nephew.

The two quickly took off their hugs, behaving wrongly in embarrassment. Alfin looked away while scratching his head. Anxious with the behavior of children who caught it.

"Come on!" His hand swayed herding the dwarves towards the gathering place. Naina followed behind, tightly coupled with Halwa.
