Teach Me (Naina)
Chapter 16

"Where is Naina?" The manager asked Vita. Hope Naina's still in the store.

"Lho, come home, sir. From now on," replied Vita looking confused. Questions arose in his mind about what was going on between the two of them.

Like two people playing with a cat. One hiding, one looking. Hearing that the manager immediately ran out, looking to the right and left looking for Naina.

His gaze stopped right at the building opposite his shop. On the terrace of the mosque were sitting two lovebirds who exchanged smiles with each other. He clenched his hands tightly until every book turned white. His jaw also hardened, the sound of teeth rumbling was faint.

Seeing Naina talking intimately, laughing with other men, her heart churned hotly. Jealousy burns the soul, as hard as he can bear to keep it from exploding. The one-child widower stumbled, re-entering the store.

Almost slammed the store door to be able to vent his emotions. Vita and the others jumped in shock when the door of the room closed hard enough.

"Astaghfirullah al-'adhiim .. astaghfirullah al-'adhiim!" Vita massaged her chest that was timid with surprise.

Shaking his head, taking a deep breath. They were like two unstable teenagers who were in love. One pursues, one behaves indifferently while in love.

While on the terrace of the mosque, the two are still busy discussing trivial things to wait for the time to arrive.

"Ahmad"

Alfin's sudden laughter interrupted even Naina's unspoken words. The girl's forehead frowned, sulking anxiously at Alfin's laugh.

"Why are you suddenly laughing? Is something funny?" sulk Naina with cute pursed lips.

Alfin rubbed the corner of his eye, ending his laughter. He looked over, looking at the girl with the rest of the laughter on his lips.

"What do you call me?" tanyakanya.

"Mmc ... Ahmad?" cetus Naina is confused.

He chuckles to hear Naina call him Ahmad. Maybe because of the customer card yesterday that was made in the name of Ahmad.

"Lho, why? How, you laugh again? That's your name, isn't it?" naina said increasingly confused by Alfin's behavior.

The young man shook his head, refusing to confirm the name.

"No. My name is not Ahmad. Want another acquaintance?" alfin laughed as he played his eyebrows up and down.

"So, what's your name?" Naina asked confusedly.

He sighed, took a moment's glance and then returned to Naina's two beads.

"Alfinen. My name is Alfinza Akbar, people used to call Alfin. That's my name, don't forget," he said, ending a sweet smile that ravaged Naina's defenses.

"O-oh." Naina melengos, hiding a red hue on the cheeks. He had wrongly guessed, thought it was indeed the name of the Youth, it was only a presumption.

"Who is Ahmad?" ask Naina curious.

His voice trembled in shame, continuing to look away as long as the skin still felt warm and even heated.

Alfin sighed again, there was no laughter going out this time.

"Ahmad is my father's name. Because the card was not made with him, so I used it," replied Alfin remembered the old man at his house.

Naina turned her eyes to him, looking at Alfin's suddenly changed face. The joy that was shown, evaporated just like that. A secret that disturbs his memory.

"Do you have parents?" ask Naina bitter.

Alfin who looked at the sky, turned to her. Smiling while nodding small, then sighing heavily.

The girl was stunned, momentarily fixated on the figure in front of her. Then, melengos turned his face away from Alfin's gaze. He shrugged his shoulders, not knowing what to answer.

"I don't know, I guess not before. Maybe later." He smiled, not feeling good to refuse Alfin's invitation.

In the past, two men who claimed to love also took Naina in front of their parents. At first they are kind and accept Naina as she is, but after knowing the origins of the girl all refuse to even look down on her and the mother. The Taruma draws her confidence, leaving Naina to hide in a deep abyss.

Alfin also smiled, understanding Naina's situation. Perhaps feeling new to each other, to make Naina not confident to be introduced to two parents.

"Yes, that's okay, but I hope you'll be known to them. I'll just wait when you're ready" said Alfin not to force his will.

Naina was calm, not like when she was with the manager who always forced her to follow all her will.

"Thank you, yeah. You already know me," Naina said sincerely.

Alfin nodded his head, no problem not right now. He just hopes, one day Naina is willing to get acquainted with both her parents as their future daughter-in-law.

"I'll go next door, yeah. Want to see if uncle has finished yet," said Naina while moving down from the terrace of the mosque.

"You want to go home? Let me take you back." Alfin offers to drive Naina.

He rushed down from the terrace of the mosque and chased after Naina who was almost out of the area.

"No, it's okay. Some of you must be tired of having children walk the streets in the mall," said Naina as she continued to step closer to where Asep worked.

Alfin chuckled, lowered his head and watched his pair of legs that were stepping not far from Naina.

"I'm not tired, though. In the mall also just look at them, watch that. No running around their kayaks" said Alfin, hoping Naina would accept his offer to return home together.

Their steps stopped upon arrival at Asep's workplace. The man was still working, stirring the dough and launching it with a co-worker.

"I don't think they're done yet. Uda, I'll take you, yes," said Alfin enthusiastically.

Naina sighed, noticing Asep who had to work hard despite age had undermined her abilities.

"Ntar, I said the same uncle, fearing nyariin again," sergeant Naina who was about to leave, but prevented Alfin.

"Eh, wait. Let me tell you, all the same permission he took his niece." Alfie smiled convincingly.

Naina was stunned, then nodded slowly.

"That, wearing black black hat," told Naina while pointing at Asep who was making cement.

"Oh, Mang Asep? So, he's your uncle?" Alfin sparkles when he finds out who Naina's uncle is.

The girl nodded, she knew they knew each other because she had seen the two of them talking to each other. Alfin approached Asep, speaking to him occasionally pointing at Naina who was standing by the side of the road.

"People are afraid to take notes like Alfin." Asep is not happy with Alfin's offer to take Naina.

"Ah, Mang Asep. I don't know young people. Uda, yeah. Alfin between Naina first, Mang Asep can relax just work. He's safe with Alfin" he said, playing an eye on the man.

Mang Asep rounded his lips, mangosteen understood.

"Basic, young man. Yes, Mama tipped Naina, yes. Take it to the front of the house" said Asep with a seductive smile.

"Ready, Boss!"

Alfin turned around with a grin on his face. Then, invite Naina to go home after getting permission from the uncle.
