Teach Me (Naina)
Chapter 152

The days passed, Tiwi had flown after her ideals. Naina and Alfin occupy their new home, taking care of the growing children. Alfin's matrial shop business is growing, even branches outside the island have been completed.

As in previous days, Naina sits in a gazebo waiting for Halwa school. Like other mothers, but she who looks simple, as it is. Sitting separately only accompanied by a few guardians of students who look the same as him.

"It seems Neng Naina is very dear to Halwa, yes, but not her biological child." One of the mothers chattered after a few days of watching Naina.

Alfin's wife smiled, only nodding not responding too far.

"The halwa was once found in the courtyard of the mosque by Ustadz Alfin. Still a baby, like a new born. That's his mom, yeah. Good thing to see a good person like ustadz Alfin. Now I have a good mother too. Thank God, I am happy," said another considering how Halwa was found.

Naina looked down, it was terrible for her that there was a mother who could throw her own baby. What if the baby becomes a successful person, and makes the name of his parents?

"Neng, isn't it hard for that many kids? While Neng himself, right, has not had children," asked one mother who felt tired of taking care of her own children.

Naina smiled, raised her face and shook her head.

"Alhamdulillah. They're all good kids, no one's taken. So, yes, it's a pleasure to take care of it," Naina said without burden.

The eyes of the mothers sparkled, feeling astonished by Naina. In their thinking, usually children who do not have parents grow up to be unruly children. The bell rang, the parents quickly stood up to welcome the arrival of their children.

"Mother!" Halwa running looks more cheerful than usual.

Naina crouches down, and welcomes Halwa's arrival with a hug. Something no other parent does to their child.

"Why? I think it's really fun." Naina looked at that sweaty face. Rubbing the sweat on Halwa's face using her hijab.

"Halwa wants to participate in the coloring competition, said teacher Halwa was already good at coloring," said the little girl while giving a piece of paper containing a notice.

"Well, Alhamdulillah. Yeah, well, we'll say dad, yeah." Naina enthusiastically welcomed the challenge. He invited Halwa to sit down to eat food.

"Eh, the coloring competition this time the registration is very expensive, you know. I could, of course, follow the boy. Payable?" The bad grapevine disturbs Naina's calm.

"Yes, the most paid school. Ordinary school policy for students who are not able to," said another chimed while glancing at Naina.

The mothers who sat with Naina were furious, but could do nothing. While Alfin's wife remained calm and fed Halwa.

"Those are just three people, Mah. Me, same boy, same him." Naina glanced, but did not respond.

Let them talk until they are satisfied. He won't care.

"Neng, he said pay the list is expensive. Is it okay?" ask one of the mothers while touching Naina's shoulder.

The woman looked up and smiled. "No problem, Mom. For the education of children. 'Kan, one of the conditions for seeking knowledge is dirham, money. So, it's okay as long as it's good for the kids to do," Naina replied sounding carefree.

However, it gets scorn from the guardians of students who feel they have the highest degree. A few moments later, a teacher came to talk to Naina. Discuss the registration issues that the school will pay.

Supposedly, if it was their good intention to help Halwa, they would not talk about it in public. Naina smiled, it was the same as disrupting her husband's honor. They think Alfin can't afford to pay, and Naina can't keep quiet.

"No need, Mom. I can afford it. Card or cash?" naina said making them gawk.

"Just wash it, Bun. Don't bother" he said shyly.

Naina took out some red money and gave it to the teacher. Counting the money, no less. He thanked and apologized to Naina. Then, leave while carrying a card belonging to the rich woman earlier.

"What will you wear, baby? Should we buy some more dye?" ask Naina after getting through the tension.

"Say ma'am teacher use crayon, ma'am. Yesterday, right, Halwa had bought it still new. So, don't buy anymore" replied Halwa as she chewed her food. Naina smiled, continuing to feed Halwa a meal.

"Mom, said dad today to go to the mall. Will you be picked up by dad?" halwa asked after finishing her meal.

"God willing. I am not busy."

"busy? Just what busy mosque is it? Some of the money from where try to play to the mall everything," ketus woman was fierce.

Naina did not respond, but Halwa was not happy to hear that.

"Not to be bullied, just go to class, yeah." The little girl complied, and ran into the classroom. He recorded everything they talked about.

"Yes, at most just a donation, ma'am. Marbot of the mosque where there is money," said another, pouring oil into the fire.

However, Naina remained silent, with smiling lips she seemed to remain calm. Meanwhile, the women who were with him growled. They don't have to talk about that fact anymore. Everyone knows who Alfin is.

"Tuh, look. He's just demed, right. I can't swallow that. There are, yes, people whose lives are donating."

Astaghfirullah al-'adhiim, astaghfirullah al-'adhiim, astaghfirullah al-'adhiim min kulli dzambil-'adhiim wa atuubu ilaih.

Naina welcomed their mockery with a deep pity. Just let those mouths keep blabbering show their stupidity. Tarkuljawaabi 'alal-jaahili jawaabun. Not answering the words of fools is the answer.

Until the bell rings again, and the time to go home arrives. Alfin's car had been in front of the school gate picking them up. The car that Naina thought was a rental car, in fact it belongs to Alfin himself.

"Dad!"

Halwa's screams saw Alfin again get scorn from the women earlier. The man carried Halwa's body into a sling, kissing her face and hands. It looks like a happy little family.

"Mas!"

"Assalamu'alaikum, yes Humairah!" alfin said when he saw his wife.

"Wa'alaikumussalaam!" Naina reached out, kissing her husband's hand in reverence. No hesitation Alfin landed a kiss on his forehead.

It invites jealousy from everyone including the teacher Halwa. They know what the new couple's life is like, but they still look happy. Alfin opens the door for Naina, putting the little girl on her mother's lap. For then he nodded to all the teachers before getting into the car.

"Halwa is happy now, he has a great father and a mother who loves him very much. Lucky Halwa met good people."

"Yes, my mother was right, but what I thought was that her father was a mosque marbot he was always on time to pay school fees. I'm sure it's not just Halwa that he's responsible for the cost because I heard there were ten children in the mosque. Also, the race registration money is directly paid." All teachers think there is a point.

"That is how believers believe in their Lord. The sustenance will always come from an unexpected path" the headmaster said as he turned around after all the students came home with their parents.
