Teach Me (Naina)
Chapter 13

By noon, Naina was compiling income. Separate money according to nominal and unite it. Tidying the shelves if nothing is done, anything is done to drive away the boredom that hit when there are no customers.

Everything Naina did did did not go unnoticed by the manager who, for a while, had been sitting at the door of the room staring at her. A friend who noticed, came to Naina to tell her about their superior.

"Nai. I think the manager likes you, deh," he whispered while helping Naina tidy up the shelf so that the man is not suspected.

Naina paused the movement of her hand glancing later, but quickly prevented the friend.

"Don't look, he's here again. Do you not realize what? Every day he always looks out for you. She likes you, Nai," she whispered, making her speech clearer.

"Masa, anyway? I don't shit, deh. Does our boss like me?" Naina whispered.

Not that he doesn't know, but he doesn't want to know. More precisely, I don't want to expect too much. For now she does not think about which man and what his future husband will be.

Twice the rejection, traumatizing him to be close to the opposite sex. However, Alfin's figure was different. The way to speak is very simple. She was like a magnet that attracted Naina.

"He's a widower, Nai. Son one, listen to the wife again. Maybe the choice fell on you, "tell the friend enthusiastically.

Naina smiled, getting the job done quickly. No matter the bachelor or widower, he had absolutely no interest in returning his attention.

"But for now, I don't think about men anymore. I want to focus on making money to help my uncle with aunt" he said, looking over and standing from a shelf close to the door of the room.

He turned around choosing a detour to return to the cashier. His words were faintly heard by the manager, the smile on his mustachioed lips receded, but he would never give up.

Naina returned to work, staring with smiles at the customers who arrived. Act as mediocre, without anyone noticing.

Echoing Adzan Dzuhur resounded, Naina stayed behind the cashier's desk waiting for her turn. Looking at the mosque, it feels like going there to perform the prayers of worshipers. Unfortunately, there was no one to replace him and he had to wait for the arrival of a friend.

"Tell!"

Naina who was under the table looked up when her name was called. He stood up and hurried to fulfill the obligation after the time had come.

Throughout the service, the man even waited for Naina in front of the room. The discomfort of being noticed, makes Naina not get any specialness in prayer.

The girl hurriedly moved, walking about to return to the cashier. However, the manager's tall body blocked his path. He kept his head down, not daring to look at the face in front.

"You didn't forget, did you?" tanyanya while looking at the simple face in front of her.

"No, really, sir. I don't forget" replied Naina who published the manager's smile.

"That's it, we're leaving now. I was hungry, to the side stall, yes," he said again as he glanced from before Naina.

The girl sighed, continued to keep her face and picked up her bag containing the provisions from Auntie.

Naina goes to the cashier's place, bidding farewell to her colleague to go to lunch first. He stepped in with gontai, really lazy if only not already said a promise.

Padang rice stall not far from the store where he worked. The shop is always crowded with buyers because it is famous for its good food. However, for Naina, food from home remains the best.

Alfin who saw Naina coming out of the store, smiled and intended to approach. However, his steps came to a halt, when he saw a grown man standing waiting for him. The man's gaze was so sharp when it collided with Alfin's bead.

He sighed, moaning about to turn. The look on her face looked disappointed at thinking Naina had an escort by her side.

"You why? How, lethargy?" reprimand sir ustadz as soon as Alfin arrives with a haggard face.

The young man sighed, sitting beside the sacrificial man who was watching him.

"Don't believe in your own eyes. Sometimes everything we see is not entirely true. Do not fill your mind with bad things that are not necessarily true. Positive, so that your life is calm," said Mr. Ustadz while patting Alfin's shoulder to give him support.

"Where did Mr. Ustadz know that I wanted to see something?" ask Alfin curiously.

His eyes that were emitting disappointment, had already told the middle-aged man what had happened to him. The man smiled, looked down and looked at the fish pond next to the mosque.

"See from your face. Did you see that woman?"

Alfin flinched, he widened for a moment. Then, turning to hide the nervousness.

"I just saw him eating like a man, sir. I don't know if it's her boyfriend or not? Everything is still faint" Alfin said with a heavy sigh. He looked down, looking at his feet playing with the pebbles.

"Jealous. That means there is already love in your heart, but do not let your sense make jealous of HIM the Owner of Love," said Mr. Ustadz, said, while standing up and leaving the mosque porch is also a young man who was immediately stunned because of his speech.

"Jealous? Am I really jealous?" He muttered to himself.

I don't know what he feels right now. He himself does not know.

While at the food stall, Naina was already sitting opposite the boss. The table in front of them was still empty, the man had yet to order his food.

A waiter came along with a notebook, asking the two about the food they were going to order. The man chose some food. Then, looked at Naina who was still silent since their arrival at the food stall.

"What are you pesen, Nai?" ask the manager while smiling.

Naina smiled, then shook her head.

"No need, sir. I brought my own food. Let me eat this. It's okay, isn't it, Mas?" said Naina while asking the waiter of the food stall.

He nodded, keeping a smile. Then, melengos went to bring the manager's order. Yang Naina did not know, the man in front of her was holding back so as not to get carried away by emotions.

Both hands clenched, the jaw hardened. Furious with Naina who never understood about him.

"Why are you still carrying supplies? Don't you know if we want to eat?" the manager's reprimand hissed from behind his docked teeth.

Naina frowned, saying, "Father, right, don't say that I can't bring supplies. I don't feel good if I refuse the food that Auntie has prepared."

Argh ... shit!
